Let's talk hair

Days left: 260 days as of today

I think I want my hair half tied. I don't like my hair tied in a bun or in a ponytail. I want it just right. Neat, simple, elegant.





little curls will do, but i don't want that much volume in front.














this is nice. Its neat and simple.



















nice and simple







I'm still thinking about the curls. I think I want bigger curls. I can still change my mind. :)






That's it. Till Next Time.


Happy Preps... :)

Okay so I asked Charles to give me a budget for our big day. Here's what we have tackled.

I'm still thinking about the colors thou. I;m not much of a yellow fan.

Oh oh oh... Before I forget I found my gown. Well not actually my gown and it's not just one gown. I found bits and pieces that I like on 3 gowns...

Here it is... :)

Let's see

Date: August 10, 2009 (Monday)
Days left: 276 as of today

Eventhough we haven't decided on the exact date and even if we haven't told our parents yet, we started planning already. Just a few drafts on what to look for or what theme and motif we want.

Thank GOD for forums. It made it easier to where to start planning. I read a 54 pages thread at femalenetwork for suppliers to scout for. Here's what I wrote down and researched:

  • Gracecraft's gifts and souvenirs
I found this cute tin canisters at their multiply site. For Php 65 each i think it's okay. But still need to look for some more and maybe a little less Php 50.

  • Treasured Trinkets
Another possible souvenir. I like this salt and pepper shakers. But it's a little bit pricey. It's Php 237 a pair.

  • Cosmo Print


Now on Promo rates:
3hrs unlimited – P8,ooo.oo
2hrs unlimited – P7.ooo.oo
1hr unlimited – P5,ooo.oo (ideal for small parties)

Package Includes:
postcard size (4×6) lab quality prints
live view feature
fabric Backdrop
CD copy of all images taken
delivery and set-up (one hour before the event)
custom text or logo or theme on prints
use of props
online gallery of all photos taken at http://cosmoprint.multiply.com
on-site technician/s

  • Jumbo Kingdom

A floating restaurant at Manila. They offer per table set up which costs Php 9000/table. But a definitely a NO NO for me. a floating resto??? NO NO...

  • La Huerta Estate

San Isidro Pavillion

San Jose Pavillion

This one is surely out because it's too far for us. It's in antipolo. It looks nice though... :)

That's it. Till Next Time.

Happy Preps... :)

Days Left: 287 as of today

Ayun so nag paka nerd na naman ako at sobrang walang magawa sa office kaya gumawa ako ng Excel for our budget plans. Okay naman yung ginawa ko ang feeling namin ni Charles sobrang makakatulong siya. Tsaka okay na rin na gumawa ako non habang hindi pa kami stressed out sa pag aayos ng wedding namin para walang makakalimutan and we would know our priorities.

That's it. Till Next Time.

Note to self: upload the excel

Happy Preps... :)
