i have asked Paul to revise some of the pages since i wanted a black and white effect and sepia on some of the pictures.
goodChristmas draws near and my bloggin fever just came back now....
i just started updating the DREAMTEAM - my wedding suppliers run down of reviews which made my wedding a worry free and successful one.
it's barely two months after our big day....and excited that it will be our first Christmas as husband and wife...
Was thinking of my christmas present to him...another Lacoste shirt... or Emporio Armani perfume...among his wish list kasi....
I don't want to splurge money just to buy him the SONY CAMCORDER....which will definitely too costly and not part of the budget for now...since we have a plan this coming year...hopefully. i will be able to push through in workin overseas...flying to Singapore this March, that's why we need to really save some BUCKS to spend...
accomplishedmy hubby is inclined in war games, air soft. every sunday is a date between him and his friends.
we woke up around 7am already with a call from one of his friends, Batchy. They had this team, A.S.O. ( Acolytes Special Ops ).

I was supposed to go home in Pacita to spend the entire afternoon with my own family. But he insisted that I watch his games. So as a wife, of course, i need to be and must submit to my husband...so there we go to Tropical in BF to watch his games.
After his several games, then its lunch time already. Since we did not have packed meals for lunch, some of our friends had to drive me to the nearest food chain. I had ordered beef stew and bistek tagalog for us to share.
The guys even teased him telling him that its better to always tag me along because he is inspired in all his games, that he was able to hit plenty of opponents.
Also ordered for clubhouse sandwich too. This is the first lunch out that we shared.

Then afterwards, we went to visit Angela, our friend who had cholecystectomy at Asian Hospital. We ordered 2 boxes of pizza and 2 softdrinks for merienda. The entire barkada was in camouflage and fatigue pants, that's why people seemed to be all staring at us at the hospital lobby.

cheerfulShe reminded us to have a breakfast buffet at the Mandarin. We had our hot tub bath and felt so relaxed. We were able to have our breakfast around 830am. We can't have much of the buffet breakfast, maybe because we feel so tensed on the big day.
We told each other, there's only 9 hours left and this is it....month long preps is over....attention to details which i got crazy about is at its end, my OC-ness done...and i will march down the aisle to meet the man i love tonight.
We just felt so happy and smiled...this is it, baby!
We had to check out at Mandarin Oriental at 10am and move to the Peninsula Manila at around 11am. I just so loved the grand staircase, cozy ambience, good customer service and huge pillars of The Peninsula Manila that's why i couldn't help but book this as our dress up venue.
Upon reaching the hotel, my first supplier was my designer, New Creations Fashion, we were still at the lobby checking in when Ms. Evelyn came together with Vangie, her assistant. There also comes our best man, Crooger who came all the way from Bicol just to make it on our big day.
Everyone was amazed with how beautiful the hotel was. The suppliers loved the premier suite we booked. We are at Room 1062 while the groom's room is Room 1042.
My designer had to iron the gown and set it up on the mannequin. After set up, everyone praised my wedding gown and the train as well. They loved it including the intricate embroidery.
Then my bouquet and ento flowers supplier came, Interplay Creative arrived to bring my lovely bouquet and great entourage flower arrangements. I was certainly amazed and hugged Lala when i saw her arrangements. I especially loved my bouquet (tulips and calla lilies) and also the maid of honors bouquet.
After 30 minutes, my hair and make up artist came, Angie Cruz, together with Anna, hair stylist. I was so thankful that Angie was able to make it on our wedding, he met an accident the night before my wedding and had 10 stitches for he suffered from head injury. I really admire him for his professionalism. He was there and even earlier than the call time. She made me really pretty and dashing bride. Very light make up and even my husband loved it.
I also got a call from our lovely caterer, Ms. Eres, who has advised me of some arrangement changes on the venue. I told her, I trust your talent, i know you will make it even better. Blue Petals is also one among the suppliers closest to our hearts. Her personal touch really interests us in working with her.
Then, Paul Vincent arrived together with Ivy, his wife...our main photographer. He is one among our favorite suppliers, he approved our request for a scratch proof and waterproof album.
Afterwards, our church florist, Sunny Florist, the official florist of Santuario, delivered the buttonaires for the male entourage. He even told us that with our flowers upgrade, she did 2 more arrangements for us, as his gift. I really appreciate the suppliers gifts on the last minute of the wedding.
Kix Tavora (2nd photog) was flying all the way from Iligan to make it in our wedding. He has seminar and he flew all the way just to make it on our big day. Thumbs up to him too. From the airport, he went directly to the hotel.
I was also informed by Emily, my cake supplier, Sugarbox, thru celphone after she has arranged my wedding cake. She reminded me to cut it on the 2nd layer....hahaha! I am pretty much more excited on our wedding cake and cake topper since it is a surprise for my husband. The cake lay out she presented to us was totally different since i requested for a revision since i wanted to surprise him and he really loved it too...together with the 2 layers mini cakes which emily designed for us....
My quintet, The Wedding Symphony, Mr. John Santos also advised me that he will personally play at the church during my wedding. This even made my wedding more complete, because the owner himself is going to play for us.
Lastly, the butterfly supplier, Garden Fairy arrived at the hotel.
It even rained cats and dogs at around 2pm in Makati. It's a good thing we have changed to an indoor venue, otherwise, i will get so much worried if the rain won't stop.
At around 4pm, the rain stopped. God heard our prayers.
