Hooray!!!

(Let's just take some break from the wedding preps)

Hooray for back to back championships in the SFC Sportsfest! We won gold in the womens doubles badminton event yesterday and gold again in the womens volleyball event today :) I dedicate these champions to the Lord, for giving me the skills and for His faithfulness. Secondly I dedicate this to my Papa. Someone who encouraged me to develop myself in sports. He would have been proud if he was here with us. I trully miss him. Lastly, I dedicate this to Joy. He is my inspiration. For his love and understanding. To God and to the two men in my life.

The Search For the Perfect Wedding Ring

I've been looking at wedding rings for quite some time now. The criteria in choosing are 1) either yellow gold or two-tone 2) gusto ko may diamonds, ayoko ng isa lang. Diamonds nga e. Hehe 3) kailangan identical ang rings namin ni Joy 4) kailangan within our budget 5) kung pwede sana bagay sa engagement ring ko

Sa ngayon I'm considering 4 choices. We have a quotation from Matus. There's one I like in Lee Hwa (26 diamonds ata yun na .01) nasa SGD 1,800 yun price ng pair. Then there are two rings I like at Love & Co. Yun isa nakita ko siya sa magazine and na love at first sight na ko. Unique ang design nya na tadtad din ng diamonds. Hehe. Nasa SGD 1,800 din. Tapos yun last yun bagay sa engagement ring ko. 5 diamonds naman sya. Nasa SGD 1,200 yun price nya. What I like about Love & Co pwede ka magpacustomize ng yellow gold na rings for SGD 40 per ring. Nice :)

Siguro hintayin ko si Joy pumunta dito para makita din nya and makapagdecide siya kung anong gusto nya. For the meantime, babalik balikan ko na lang at susulyapan yun mga dream wedding rings ko!

Chichi Sotomil Is My HMUA

Thanks to all those who gave feedback about my trial hair and makeup sessions. After discussing thoroughly with Joy and thinking about it myself, I decided to book Chichi. Clap! Clap! Clap!

Una, I liked the rapport that we had. I find her easy to talk to and funny. Pangalawa, joy and i liked the quality of her work and it stayed on for a long time. Pangatlo, her rates are very reasonable.

I emailed her the other night to confirm my booking. Fingers crossed, we'll be able to iron out some tiny queries then I'm going to pay the reservation na.

Hay grabe. Nakahinga ko ng malalim. Kasi antagal din naming nagscout for HMUA. I wanted a really good artist kasi gusto ko maganda talaga ang makeup ko sa wedding ko. At the same time gusto ko ng makeup artist na reasonable naman ang rates. Si Chichi na yun :) I'm so happy!
