home in 9600

the last time i went home was last year during my Dad's funeral. if you're my facebook buddy or you've seen me last time i was home, then you'll see me smiling and all even though im breaking down inside. that time i didn't really enjoy my coming back here in 9600. who would anyway for that matter? i didn't even come home for the Christmas holidays.

so this time its totally different! i'm done with school and i don't need to go back to Cebu right away. i'm back in my hometown after like 6 years of coming home coz someone died or coming home just for a couple of weeks coz i still have school. so its really really great how i can stay here for awhile and not worry about something else that i need to accomplish somewhere else.

i'm sitting outside at our garden, facing my sister with her own laptop. being lazy and all. i just got my nails done and about to have lunch. feels good to breathe fresher air. feels good to look at lotsa green. feels good to hear my nephews voices and how i can just easily hug my sister anytime.

nothing beats HOME. but i know this won't forever be my home. but until im single, this is THE HOME for me.


minutes after i land at Awang Airport. here with my sister's youngest, Gab.

WEDDING: first step prep

before Arthur and i even got engaged, we already started talking about getting married. so after the engagement happened, we made our entourage and guest list. and yes, it's normal if you have a lot of drafts and keeps on changing your mind. in our case, since October 2011, we have 4 drafts. and i'm sure this will still change. the maid of honor and best man i think are the only ones that hasn't changed. and we have no plans of changing it.

we talked to a lot of photographers and exchange messages with some videographers both here and abroad. and before you will think that this is going to be a huge wedding, nope. it's not. we are just looking and trying our best to hire someone that we know can really capture who we are as individuals and as a couple. from a long list, we have narrowed it down already but we still need to work on it to really choose who we want.

with the theme, i have lotsa ideas so the wedding organizer and my sister still need to work with me on this. but slowly, arthur and i, have a somewhat intact concept already. will be meeting with the uber talented and young wedding organizer when i get back home. and it's so amazing coz he is a friend and my sister knows how he works coz they worked together with some projects. it feels good knowing i can trust him.

venue, we are still scouting. this saturday, we are going around Mactan area to look at the 4 beach resorts that made our list. no it won't be a beach wedding. it will be a church wedding. crossing my fingers that we can afford this church that i really like here in the city.

gown? i know what i like but if i'll have it made or if i'll buy a ready made dress, i'm not sure.

prenup, maybe we'll do it in the states. but we'll have a shoot this saturday. it would be like a prelude to a prenup. haha! nah! we decided that we'll use it for save the date thing. and it's nice to have our picture taken by someone who knows us and have seen us grow. we're also tired trying to estimate and capture ourselves in the camera plus the whole timer thing. it takes a lot of patience and talent. so yep! we're using the talent of my sister-in-law's youngest sister and hopefully help her build her portfolio. ;)

to end this post, i want to share this photo that i like. i don't want my bridesmaids to wear the same thing. remember GIMIK THE REUNION MOVIE? (yes, i'm a 90's kid--- AWESOME, RIGHT?) ..well, ever since i saw that movie, where G. Toengi got married and Jolina Magdangal designed the clothes, i knew i wanted something like that. i mean the idea. of having different styles. the color, i want to be all the same. or maybe not. we'll see. but you get my point, right? so here...


i want it to be short like this but i might get in trouble with the church so maybe a lil below the knee will do.

so there's my first post about our wedding prep. we still have a long way to go. civil wedding first. i'll share why next time. AND NO! i'm not pregnant.

HAVE A SMASHING DAY EVERYONE!
