A Surprise Christmas Gift from Japan

12.26.2011 by Leah // 1 Comment

I am a big, big fan of Hello Kitty and every year I get a Hello Kitty item as Christmas gift - coin purses, mugs, face towel and even a car bobble head with Hello Kitty's head moving sideways (this freaks me out, though). But this year, I got really special Hello Kitty gifts that came all the way from Japan!ย  W@Wie couple Marjorie and Atsushi of On Chocolate Hill gave me ... READ MORE

3 months have already passed since AJ and I said "I do" and I'm still not done with my supplier reviews hehe.ย ย  Well, I am actually saving the best for last. If you've been following my blog, you'd know that we got Love in Bloom as our florist.ย  Well, entourage and bride's florist only because the flowers for the church were already included in the package we got. I would ... READ MORE

Sad and worried…

07.23.2011 by Leah // Leave a Comment

Should I worry about not having received any wedding pictures from my other photographers?   Although Nat has already promised to send the raw pictures by post, I haven't received any from Von Lazaro yet, our back-up photographer.  I am expecting more from him since he was the only one paid for his services.   The rest took our photos pro bono, as a ...

Supplier’s Review: Lili Florendo’s Infinity Dresses

06.06.2011 by Leah // 2 Comments

A know a lot of w@wies who are already excited to see how my bridesmaids looked in the infinity dresses made by Mrs. Lili Florendo of Cebu.   I first wrote about her here.  The fittings were indeed different from the actual output and I was happily surprised to see some of my bridesmaids in designs they thought of and did ...

The Monogram Queen will do our Seat Plan!

04.12.2011 by Leah // 2 Comments

I love w@w!    Joining this group is a must for all future brides out there!   I regret not having joined a little bit earlier, but it's okey, I was able to get most of our suppliers through this group.  Just like Sis Joy of the Monogram Hub.   She did her own wedding monograms and I remember how we w@wies raved about them.   ...

Von Lazaro is our Back-Up Photographer!

The decision to get a back-up photographer was mine alone.  But it did not take me long to convince AJ about it hehe.You see, our wedding photo package is a gift from my brother who's already a pro at photography.  Together with his 3 friends, they will take care of documenting my wedding through pictures.  I emphasized that we do not want a videographer ...

Hot Topic at the Wedding Forum today: Love In Bloom

04.08.2011 by Leah // 1 Comment

Ate Jo's letter to the W@W community was published by Ms. Benz today.   A lot of the brides think that what she did was unacceptable because (1) she did not give the bride (Ms. Ching) sufficient time to change her bouquet, (2)  they believe she could have found ways to source out the peonies elsewhere and (3) she should have explained herself a tad earlier.  ...

Dressing Up My Entourage

03.26.2011 by Leah // 7 Comments

The ladies in my entourage will wear a twist-wrap dress in jersey fabric.This choice of dress was a result of my countless consultations with them (there are only 4 ladies in my entourage composed of the Matron of Honor and 3 Secondary Sponsors.  No bridesmaids and flower girls for me).Here are the pegs of the dress styles I showed to them:The ladies love ...

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, โ€œFear naught from lifeโ€™s alarmsโ€.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute โ€“ and said,
โ€œTo know this life was good,
It left itโ€™s mark on me. Its work stands fastโ€.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold โ€“
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy โค
