Glad he's up and about

Days Left: 193 days as of today

For the weekend Charles and I planned a trip to go to Baguio. Our first stop was supposed to be Tarlac on friday night. Then Dagupan on Saturday morning to attend a Christening, on Saturday afternoon we will be heading Baguio until Tuesday morning. But our trip was shortened due to an unfortunate event that happened to Charles.

The night we arrived at Tarlac, Charles' tita treated us for dinner at Max's. We were about to sleep at around 12mn. Charles felt pain in his lower back. His been irritable since then. I was sleeping already when I heard someone vomiting. When I look at my side Charles' not there.

I asked him what happened. He said his stomach really hurts and he's been vomiting 3 times already. He was like that for about 5 hours. Around 5:30 we took him to the hospital already cause he can't take the pain anymore.

At the ER they gave him some meds to stop him from vomiting and to ease the pain but nothing happened. So we had no choice but to admit him.

(poor hon)

(time to admit him)

(time for some rest we had a long day)

(glad he's okay now)

Diagnosis: Acute Gastritis

Sorry hon no fatty and spicy foods for you. Thank God his Ultrasound is okay no gallstones. His CBC is okay too just slightly high WBC because of vomiting. Other than that everything is Normal.

"Through Sickness and in Health"

That's it. Till Next Time.

Happy Preps... :)

Updates updates updates

Days Left: 210 days as of today

As of this day, February 10, 2011, it will be 7 more months before our BIG day... :) We are both excited and nervous at the same time. Excited because we want to see the outcome of our almost 2 years prep and nervous because we want it to be as perfect as it could get.

So moving on with the updates:

1st update:

Almost a month ago I've finished another DIY which is our Invitation. Now I am searching who can make stamps. I was about to go to retiro because when I was in college we had our stamps made there. Then Charles texted me and told me that he thinks he saw someone who makes stamps in front of National in Quezon Ave., So during my break time from work I went there and was glad that the stamp maker was still there. He's the only one who does stamps. I gave him the layout of the stamp that I want and he said it will be Php200 I asked for a discount. He gave it to me for Php180, so i agreed. He asked when I needed it. I asked how long to make he said I can have it by tomorrow morning or if I'm available around 7pm the same day. So the story ends I got the stamp for 180 pesos on the same day I had it made... :)

2nd update:

2 weeks ago Charles and I decided to register at Landmark. Since we've finished our invitation and it is ready for printing as soon as my friend pm me. I want everything to be available once we want it to be sent. So we went to Landmark and the lady who assisted us said it should be at least 6mos before the wedding before we can register. But I insisted since we are there already and we "have" our invites printed already, etc etc etc. She agreed... :) It's just simple. I just signed a form and she explained to me what's the privileged of the registry and the discounts. The we will go back 2 mos before the wedding to look for the items we want all over landmark and manually write it down; how many pcs, exact brand and color. That's it. She gave us 80pcs of card that will be attached to the invitation.

That's it. Till Next Time.

Freenup

Days Left: 226 days as of today

Got my first freebie from w@w. Free prenup "freenup" from sis leng.

When I saw Ms. Benz's post about a Freenup I immediately emailed Sis Leng if there's still a slot available. When she emailed back she asked for the date and location of the Prenup. Yey!!!!

One of the perks of being a w@wie... =)

We're the 14th out of the 30 Lucky w@wies.

Thank you sis Leng. See you soon... =)

The Beginning of Forever

Days Left: 227 days as of today

Things you will need:

• Power Point (any version)
• Copy of the map (be as accurate as possible, I used www.weddingmapper.com)
• Images of the church, reception and some landmarks (I got mine on Google, or you can use actual pictures)

Instructions:

• What we did first is make the map using wedding mapper.
• Then Print Screen and copy paste it to Paint. Then I cropped just the places that needs to be placed on the official map, then save.
• Open Power point.
• Insert the Image on a blank page

• Using the "CURVE" tool, draw a line from the Ceremony to the reception, by just tracing the map. Be as acurate as you want to be.

(it's okay if your line is not perfect)

• Change the color and thickness to differentiate the main road, minor roads, etc.

(it's a lot of work)

• Once you draw the lines that need to be included in your wedding map you may remove the original map.

• That will be the framework of your map.
• Now you can start putting the Church, Reception and landmarks on your map.
• You can also put directions if you want.
• Be as creative as you want.

• If you're happy with your work, save it.

I want to thank:

That's it. Till Next Time.

One Productive Night

Days Left: 229 days as of today

It's a slight productive night for me. I got so inspired looking at Bridal Book's photos I instantly remembered I have things to follow up. I was glad that my friend is online I got to talk to him regarding my Bag tag. Last week I gave him a layout and asked him if he could print one for me so that I could see the sample. He showed me the sample just now and i loved it. Happy with my layout. So that's a go already.

Then we started talking about wedding preparations since he's getting married as well. Then he asked me if I still have anything that i need in his shop. I remembered about our notepads. He said he can print it as well. Finally. After months of searching and asking around he's the only solution to my problem.

So now I just have to revised my layouts (notepad and bagtag) a bit and make it clearer. Then Then we can start printing already.

Thank you Pau. I'm glad I could help with your mini business I know you need every penny you get with that because you're getting married too. =)

That's it. Till Next Time.

Happy Preps... :)
