The quest for the gownmaker is over!

As I've blogged last Friday..I'd expected for a one-hell-busy-tiring-Saturday. It was, indeed!

Tiring as it was (daming tao and super init since tanghali na nung dumating kami dun)..still we're glad and siyempre, fulfilled. In the afternoon, Paul has to take charge in managing..err manning.. their computer shop..so siyempre sabit ako hehe!

Anyway, just want to share our wed preps accomplishments this week:

1. My Gown

Finally, I've met and booked the ever famous Tutuban-based gown maker who charges super cheap but definitely nice bridal and entourage gowns..that's Ms. Leonie Bautista!

I've shown Ms. Leonie my preferred gown design and quite relieved kasi from a professional coutourier's point of view, ok lang daw sakin ang ganung style.
I was just having doubts before if this will fit my small and slender built. Buti na lang ok naman daw. Reasonable din naman ang quote niya and we already paid the downpayment. It's made of jusi, complete with beadworks, with train and off-white ang color. And she also gave me the sked for my measurement, fitting and even the pick up date. I still have until September to gain weight at magpataba or magkalaman (if that's the proper term). As of now, since super stressed me sa work, many are commenting na pumayat ako. I weighed last week and to my dismay..i lost 5 lbs all because of W-O-R-K! Na dahil sa work eh nagkasakit ako...in fact, anemic pa ata ako ngayon. Anyway, I still have about 3 months to work on this. My measurement will be taken on Sept. 24..first fitting on Oct. 19 and hopefully by Oct. 22, it'll be available for pick up na. O diba bilis!

2. Souvenirs for guests

We've bought the paper soaps, bottles, sinamays, glue sticks needed for our DIY souvenirs. Will post the pic soon..haven't uploaded the pics on flickr.

3. Souvenirs for Female Principal Sponsors

We were at National Bookstore this afternoon to buy glue sticks for the souvenirs. We were about to leave when we saw these scented candle sets that are nicely packaged na rin..complete with ribbons at siyempre sakto sa motif pa namin ang color na available. We were able to buy only 5 of these..they ran out of stocks na. We'll check the other branches na lang if they still have..we need 3 more since 8 ang ninangs namin.

Sigh! Monday na naman tomorrow..work na naman!

Happy Monthsary nga pala sa baby ko! We're celebrating our 59th Monthsary (that's 4 yrs and 11 months)! Next month 5th anniv na. How did we celebrate our monthsary? We had 2 Big Mac discounted Value Meals (Php 87 each..20 pesos off from the regular price Php 107) at Mcdonalds. Hehe!
