December na!

It's December 1st na tomorrow! my oh my!


Now the real count down begins..


Not much accomplishments lately except that we're almost done with the RSVP. Tomorrow's the last day of attendance confirmation and I think we still have about 10-15 unconfirmed people. By weekend, we should be starting with the table assignments. Going into 16 days left mark, i could say that the Guest List and RSVP so far were the hardest on the leg of wed preps. * Ask my sisters and Paul how many times I cried because of this hehehe! *


I've inquired with Bubbles! Bubbles! and Burst Professionals regarding their bubble machine rentals. The latter got my thumbs up sign...as the owner was really nice talking with...not to mention their rate is cheaper than the first. I'll confirm my booking with them tomorrow.


What else? Next on our line up (scheduled on weekend) are this:
1. Pay AdeB full balance for the bridal car rental
2. Settle full balance to Emily Uy of Sugarbox for the cake
3. Settle full balance at Sta. Rita de Cascia
4. Pay Interplay full balance for the flowers and reception styling

Since most of our payables are due on dec 10, we decided to settle some earlier para di ganun kabigat sa bulsa on the 10th as we're due to pay the remaining balance for the hotel which is really MABIGAT huh!


Long before we were only talking about bookings and reservation fees..now full balances na! Ngayon ko lang talaga fully narealize ang mahal pala magpakasal and it's good that we're doing it now..pano pa kaya next year or the next years to come (million na siguro ang kelangan) kaya sa mga single friends ko out there..hehe! magpakasal na rin kayo now na! hehe!

updates with 19 days left...

System time: 12:15 AM..niyay 18 days na lang!

i hate it...

..when people, REFUSE to understand your predicament. Refuse so i say..'coz even how simple you lay down the details (not to mention..you've already told them a thousand times), they seem to make "deadma" of the situation you're all into and just assert easily what they want.


..when these people always think of what others have to say without considering first what I have to say..my thoughts..my desires. (haller! this is MY WEDDING..not yours!)


..when, despite, having making "parinigs" hoping they'll realize how hard this is for me, totally ignore your hardships and just let it that way..* batu-bato sa langit..bakit parang walang tinatamaan at mukhang babalik na lang sakin ang bato? grrr!*



I know I should be enjoying the last leg of my wedding preps with less than 3 weeks left...pero what can I do? Just like my ate said..sana nga daw matapos na ang wedding para no more tears na rin ako. Hay I just wish! Pwede bang mag-let go na agad at this time?

....countdown: 26 days to go

26 days left...

yikes! sobrang lapit na...can't believe we'll soon be wrapping up the one year wed preps we've busied ourselves since January...aside from the wedding day itself another thing I'm looking forward to is the long vacation yahooey! finally, we'll get to rest! hay thank God! I'm so tired and feel so stressed out na talaga of both wed preps and work.

Updates?

1. We're almost done with the distribution of invites..as well as completed 50% of the RSVP, that is with Paul's side (Paul deserves my commendation on this..)

2. We've also handed to almost all of our entourage their gowns and barongs.

3. Church documents almost complete..my banns was on its 3rd week of publication yesterday and it'll be released on Wednesday.

4. I've bought the earrings (white gold dangling with crystals) that I'll use on my wedding day.

5. Paul and I have shopped clothes and bathing suits for our Bora getaway

6. As for our wedding suppliers...we're yet to meet them for details confirmation and finalizations.

7. Kuya Lawrence, a US-based cousin who's so kind (sobra) to sponsor our customized M&Ms informed us that the chocolates were already delivered. Now I just have to wait for my tita on dec. 12. We've bought na rin yesterday at Divi the containers for the m&ms.

Yipee! My dad and stepmom will be arriving (from Saudi) this coming Friday.

Meanwhile, be posting again soon (I hope..that soon nga), update ko lang sidebars ng blog ko.
