Bridal Bouquet

Since school started I barely had time to update my blog! :( After work I feel soooo tired. Though I make sure I read emails from w@w and reply/post messages once in a while.

These past few days I've been browsing the internet for ideas about bridal bouquet. Initially, I really wanted an all-white tulip bouquet. Couldn't imagine myself carrying any other flowers except tulips.


But then, after seeing other bouquets with different flower and color combinations. I began to have second thoughts.... hmmmmm.........

Am soo confused again!!!! what should I have???? :(





This can be my MOH bouquet


I want this naman for the flower girl.


I met Rey of Freshcut Flowers last week. The quotation that he gave is super ok. Yun nga lang, until now he hasn't fax or email me the package. I'm making him kulit na nga eh. hmmp kainis. Yun lang ang negative feedback ko sa kanila. Sabi din ksi ni Marge dami nila events kaya di matapos yung package ko. Oh well... I'll just wait.. pero pag this friday wala pa.. I'll find another florist. Para kasing ako naghahabol sa kanila.

I was worried that the cocktails will not be part of the package. Lo and behold included pala and ang dami pa! Yahoo!! We can't afford to extend our budget for food anymore (over na talaga kami as in!) Since the guests will be at the reception venue at 5-5:30pm, they can munch on the pica pica while waiting for us, ayt??? :)

Ang saya and ang SARAP!! :)

before school starts....

One last hurray for the teachers before school starts. Who says we are boring??? Nah! Learning won't be as fun as it is now without us! I'm so glad to have the company of my co-teachers/friends. They make work fun and exciting (chismis and all, you know!) Ha ha ha! They are my ever loyal consumers/buyers of whatever I sell to them (beads, oatmeal cookies, body wash, etc, etc). Hay kulang nalang talaga Tocino benta ko!! Another school year has come. Hay.. looking forward to our Christmas Break (kakatapos palang ng summer tamad talaga hehe!)

Welcome back to school kids!!! KEEP QUIET!!!!

DW Experience

Francis was a little apprehensive at first when I told him about the seminar. We fought over this twice coz I felt that he's making up excuses just so we couldn't attend. I felt bad about it so everytime that we were together I avoided talking about wedding stuff. Hmm.. tampo daw ba... Until i got a text from him telling me that he paid the seminar fee already. Yey!!!That made my day. :) (he he babaw ko!)

It was God's will for us to attend the seminar. Francis and I were able to resolved some issues that we used to argue a lot about. We became aware of each other's needs and expectations. We laughed, cried, shared good memries with other couples.

It felt wonderful sharing those special moments with Francis. I would definitely recommend DW to all soon-to-wed couples.

Playgirl April Issue: For my eyes only.. :)

Francis was really surpised when I gave this to him ginawa ko daw shang gigolo! But he liked it!! :) Instead of giving him kung ano ano lang for our 6th year anniv last april 10, I thought of giving him sumthing different. Labor of Love talaga..

Natuwa nga yung mom nya pinakita sa relatives nila during their reunion. Funny talaga! Hiya nga si Francis...

My friend, Ella, helped me do this since I don't know how to use Photoshop. (Thanks again Ella gurl! :)

Just love it!

Love the color combination of fuchsia and yellow. Perfect for my entourage! Yey! :)
