luv d church!

went to the church today to pay and syempre we went na rin to see the church. i was so happy to see na tapos na yung renovation project nila. last time i went kasi may mga scaffolding sa buong simabahan, mukha pang may tigdas yung simabahn sa dami ng masilya kasi pipinturahan nga uli, at higit sa lahat ang ingay ng pukpok ng martilyo.

naka-decorate na for christmas yung church. white christmas yung theme nila at ang ganda-ganda! sobrang elegant tignan yung decors.

sobra na ako excited to walk down the aisle. *sigh*

thoughts 8 days before the wedding

i am surprisingly calm. being the OC person that i am, everbody thought that i would be tearing my hair out by now. pero sobra lang akong kalmado. our early preps really paid off (last december kami ng-book ng church at reception venue, march wedding expo kami nag-start mag-book ng caterer, photo-video, event stylist, at cake maker). and kahit na dami naming DIY (invites, favors, gallery, misalettes, place cards, AVP, etc), parang okay lang lahat. or siguro kasi i have learned to let go. all the w@wies say that the bride must let go on the day of the wedding, i let go two weeks ago. for example, i learned the other day that the weather forecast for dec 18 is "overcast, thunderstorms, humid". that is probably the worst weather forecast ever! but i am so zen about it. i am just praying that traffic will not be as horrendous as i expect it to be (18 being the last saturday before christmas and of course, that means christmas shopping galore and christmas parties just about anywhere. add thunderstorms to that and you have the worst traffic imaginable).

maybe it helps that i only have 124 guests. maybe it helps that i am just so darn excited to get married that i don't really care about anything else by now. or maybe it is because my mind is on my thesis (due on january 25). or probably because i am more excited about our honeymoon (was able to book a flight to bangkok just the other day!!!). whatever the reason, bottomline is, as of now, i am relatively calm and stress-free.

i was telling my mom the other day that it is so fortunate that i only have a few guests that it's not dfficult to follow up RSVPs. i have also reshuffled the seating arrangement a million times that i am pro at it by now and i am not stressed at the thought of doing it (although bernard and i promised that we'll just do it one last time three days before the wedding. :))

for now, i am just so much looking forward to the being mrs. aviƱante that i don't care if the guests don't arrive, if the misalettes don't get distributed, if the seating arrangement won't be followed, etc. i am just so happy to be getting married that as long as jojie, my family, and jojie's family are there, i'll be okay.

replies to the tag board messages

at dahil hindi na kakasyasa tag-board ang replies ko, dito na lang. :)

favel, i really marvel at the thought of getting real life friends through something as impersonal as the web. ang galing no? sabi nga nila abie, na-realize na daw nila kung paano nagkakaroon ng online romance. :)

pazette!!! it was really nice chatting with you, kahit na sandali lang. na-excite nga ako nung nkita ko yung name mo at nag-panic nung nag-bye ka sa chatroom! hahaha! excited na ako talaga! :)

hi kitts! usually, marathon posting na lang ang ginagawa ko pag may time ako eh. how are you and garry? hindi na tayo nakaka-chat ah. how's married life? :)

joyce, i luv our pics! naku! eh sa iyo ako na-inspire magpa-picture wildlife eh. sising-sisi ako nun kung bakit hidni pa kami dumaan dun nung nag-UP kami. buti na lang i had another chance. musta buhay mag-asawa? :)

abie! tawang-tawa ako sa inhale, exhale!! lapit na natin!!!

patrice, yung mananahi ng ento gown ko is farley. his number is 2851087. call him na lang and tell him na w@wie ka rin. :)

dorothy, you're welcome, sis! happy preps!! :)

nice, faye, mec, alma... mga sis!! yeah ang lapit na nga! excited na ako! faye, mejo tensed pero more of excited-tensed kaysa stressed-tensed. :)

tin!!! sayang hindi ako nakapunta nung EB... huhuhu! heard you had a blast, inggit ako! waaaah!!!!

len! sis! love your CDs! really, really love your CDs! thank you so, so much! mwah!!!

monina and nyree! we have 8 days to go. just thinking about it now is giving me goosebumps. let's all pray for each other's weddings and marriages. all the best! *hugs*

bangkok, here we come!

we have a honeymoon na!!!! yehey!!

for the longest time, jojie and i wanted to go to boracay for our honeymoon but then when we computed, it was way over our budget. siguro rin kasi since we went there last may, mejo feeling naman hindi worth it to spend so much money on things we've done just a few months ago. so we thought of just going to baguio. i love baguio and since we'll be there just before christmas, we can already imagine how cold it would be and how nice it would be to cuddle. *wink* last week, though, my mom told us that there are packages for bangkok that are cheap lang. so jojie and i discussed it again and we decided to have our honeymoon in bangkok since afford naman namin (we couldn't afford a boracay honeymoon but we can afford a honeymoon in bangkok, weird no? hahaha!) so i canvassed nd iwas able to find the cheapest package. yun nga lang ang hirap magpa-book! oh my gosh! it took us almost one week to book our flights. pero sa ngayon okay na. yehey! kaya tuloy, may bago na naman akong pasttime sa ngayon, syempre forever surf about bangkok tourist places (it's both our first time kasi to go there) at mega-plan ng itinerary. really, really excited about this!
