It's been a while since my last post.. :) became busy with office work and since we have booked most of our suppliers, rest na muna.. hehe...
but last May 1, we had our pre-nuptial pictorial with ParkerShot Digital Photography (see albums to view a sample of our pix). Faye and Tintin, Al's sisters, accompanied us. Mga PA (aka alalay) daw namin sila. And they did a good job! haha! My make-up was done by Vicky Sta. Ines, the make-up artist of our chorale group in the office, and she made me beautiful that day (straight hair! hehe..) JR Sebastian was our main photographer and with him was PJ Salazar as 2nd photographer. It was a hot afternoon and our first location was ateneo de manila, college campus. Most of our shots were focused on the new MVP Center (formerly Colayco Hall). We liked the stairs kasi, hehe.. then we went to the Interactive 12 Senses Exhibit beside Dela Costa Hall then our last location was Bellarmine Field. It was fun! At first I thought that I wouldn't look good on camera if I didn't smile but lo and behold, ang lupit at ang ganda ng mga pictures! (hahaha! yabang!)
We started at 1pm and ended at around 330pm. Travel na kami to Eastwood City, our 2nd location. Mas strict kasi dito dahil may oras ang photo shoot. You have to be at a certain place at a specific time. We were given only 2 hours to shoot and we're lucky there was no traffic from katipunan to libis coz I scheduled the shoot from 4-6pm. We started at Fuente Circle (where the fountain is, near Heaven N Eggs, Pancake House, etc.) then we went to the Stage Area/City Walk 1. We changed outfits also, semi-formal muna since our theme is movie premier night. Good thing Al and I went to Greenhills the Saturday before (April 26), so we got to buy new clothes, hahaha! bawi naman dahil maganda ang mga pictures. The dress was actually my college graduation dress. buti naman kasya pa rin, hehe... :) We stayed there from 4-5pm then we transferred to City Walk 2 (Shanghai Bistro Area) from 5-6pm. Change outfit din uli para naman masulit ang mga binili namin sa Greenhills. By this time medyo ngawit na ang labi ko sa pagngiti pero enjoy lang... :) JR was very kind and kwela kaya nag-enjoy kaming lahat. Deadma na sa mga taong nanonood. Napapagkamalan pa nga yata kaming artista, haha, coz one time na nagpapicture kami sa may "walk of fame", may bata raw na kumuha ng pix namin sa celfone camera, hehehe... minsanan lang naman ito. :)
The Lord was also kind to us that day because it drizzled a few minutes after the end of our photo shoot. :) our day was capped with a sumptuous meal at Il Pirata and it was indeed a one-of-a-kind event. :)

Ateneo and Bridal Fair at SM Megamall--Flowers of May
(Long overdue na rin itong blog na ito..)
Last April 12, Al and I met with my college friend and maid of honor, Kat, in Ateneo. :) We went there to request for a permit to shoot for our pre-nuptial pictorial while Kat had to request some documents. It's been a long time since I went to Ateneo and visited my former office (Office of Administrative Services). My former boss, Ms. Lourdes Sumpaico, already retired from office last March 31, 2008 and Ms. Joy Salita was the Acting Director. Nagpapicture na rin ako with Ms. Joy and Ms. Kat of OAS para souvenir na rin.I faxed an advance copy of my request to them earlier that day and I was lucky that Ms. Joy approved my request on the spot (with some notations, e.g. open areas only and no pictures of the school seals/building names). Yey! It's final, we'll be having our pre-nup in Ateneo!!
We then toured the school to look for good spots to have the pre-nup pictorial. I loved the Interactive 12 Senses exhibit beside Dela Costa Hall. It was very creative and cool! :D we had lunch at Manang's and too bad there wasn't any inihaw na liempo left. We settled for the lechon kawali and dinuguan with itlog na maalat and kamatis! yum!! sarap talaga! going back to ateneo was such an enjoyable experience.
After that short school visit, we went first to our office because Al had to get his free registration note from VRC Creative Events. I toured Kat in our office (it's her first time there). We then went to SM Megamall for the Bridal Fair. Flowers of May was there and we tried to ask if they will give us discounts (we have visited them previously in their shop in UP Village). Ms. Evelyn was really nice but she didn't give us a discount since we are getting the cheapest package. What she did was to include buttounnieres for the 2 fathers and principal sponsors! yey! it was similar to getting a 5% discount! We booked them right there. Finally, we have a florist: Flowers of May!! My bouquet will be deep red roses but we also liked yellow calla lilies and it will certainly match our red and gold motif. But if I opt for the calla lilies, I would have to add an additional P2,000 so we'd have to wait and see.. hehe.. :)
I enjoyed the fair but it was very tiring. The Megatrade Hall wasn't that big but maybe because you have to do a lot of walking and talking, hehe.. That was my first bridal fair with al and kat and it was fun! Eloquente was also there. I even saw the photo album of the wedding where TransChorale was hired to sing in the nuptial mass. Too bad, our photo wasn't there (harr!)
We ate dinner at Yellow Cab and tried their new pizza, Barbecue Chicken. sarap! We really accomplished a lot that day and we are 90% through with our preps.. yahoo!!! :)
