3 more weeks and it's finally the engagement day....
Grabe! How fast the time flies... I have the engagement dress with me (Shoes and bag!? not yet purchased), Cake ok (Tom to deposit DP), Photography ok, Candies and cookies none yet. Paper bags for the goodies are not yet enough. Karl's Barong almost done I think... So far so good, I think! Our house is a mess right now because our housemaid went on a vacation and hasn;t come back yet! Our ceremony will be at home so there! I need to clean up in time for guest on that day... tsk tsk!

Alex Franco...Jasmine Mendiola
04-11-2006
My siblings, Karl and I went to meet Mr. Alex Franco at Pioneer Center for the supposed details and questions regarding his craft... CAKE-MAKING. We were satisfied with the taste but the design for their engagement cakes were just ok...
Ready...Get Set...
Go!

DOUBLE BOOKING: I didn't originally planned on meeting any supplier today but then my mom was quite free the whole day and decided to sched an impromptu meeting with Emily of Sugarbox and jasmine mendiola... I met jasmine but unfortunately, wasn't able to meet Emily at the scheduled time because of a backlog on a meeting with another client...

and again to Manlapat's... Engagement wears....
We got a call again from Mr. Manlapat regarding the cloth... Deja Vu!? sheesh! We had to go back there and get the cloth in exchange for another one... Good thing was, I asked my mom to go with me to check the problem with the cloth. My mom, having some background on clothes making found a way to use the cloth without having to exchange it and without compromising the design... (WAY TO GO MOM!)
One more thing off my checklist :)
I also had my fitting again the other day with Veluz for my engagement gown. A little bit wide on the hips but everything more or less good to go.
2nd thing off my list... :)

Linea Victoria again...
April 07, 2006
A sudden interruption in the smooth flow of barong making for Karl... He got a call from R.M. Manlapat informing him that the cloth (from Linea Victoria, Manila) he left with them was not enough to make the supposed design they were supposed to make. Uh-huh!? I thought that all of those cloths are standard? Then, he explained that how the cut of the cloth was incorrect not the size of the cloth. Anyway, we plan to go to Manila one again and try exchanging the item or buying a new cloth to give Mr. Manlapat…. Sheesh… Time a wasting….

Wedding Treasures... and photos to treasure

Wedding Treasures
Wedding Treasures… The wedding coordinator which consisted of three sisters who shares a love for making dreams comes true… We had a meeting with them at 6pm Starbucks, T.Morato. Originally, it was Eugene who was supposed to meet us but unfortunately, she still has a client then and made Evangeline meet us instead to discuss their package. Vange looks easy to talk to and very accommodating although they costs more than other event coordinators which I have inquired but not yet met…by a few thousands, we decided to get them right away.
Other Wedding coordinator we asked quotations from but never got the chance to meet: Just like Ours, You’re Invited and An Event to remember. I am sure that these 3 wedding coordinators are just as good but we have a good feeling with Wedding Treasures and lots of good feedbacks on this group and decided to make a go and start finalizing with them regarding all those endless canvassing of wedding suppliers during the before-coordinator phase…

Angel Bar
Another visit on Angel Bar with Sherry Tan (a great friend….and photographer) with address: 1163 La Torre St. Manila. 254-9983. I went with my brother for his passport picture and Karl for our photo shoot (an addition for our small collection of pictures)… Can’t wait for the prints… hehe!

Makeup....Photo shoot and Florist...
Saturday....April fools (full) day.... and my day is quite "full" starting with my scheduled makeup trial with Bambi or Manila who is known for making up the chinese face. He is not that friendly like the last trials but he works fast and knows what to do. One thing I noticed is he doesn't ask what type of makeup you prefer but does his own style right away... hmmmm.... The result? A little bit light according to my mom and friend. My mom doesn't like the hair that much.
After the trial makeup, went to a friend's studio with my mom near Bambi's place and had a photo shoot with my friend the photographer... The perks of having a great friend who can capture my look as well as being patient and let me overcome my initial shyness in having to project ala model haha!
Lunch at home then proceeded to crowne plaza and met up with Mr. Jun Hen... :) He showed us his album portfolio and talked about the range of his flowers and service. As of now, I am awaiting his formal quotation.
Sunday came and we went to makati shangri-la for Sabrina's (Karl's sister) AVP interview scheduled 10am. Kendrick (Karl's older brother) was already there and had their interview first... Quite good, looks like they are very at home with being interviewed. Ours was not that effortless...hehe! Anyway, we did what we can for that time... and after editing our interview, I hope we looked okay and get our messages and best wishes for the couple across. Lunch at Shangri-la at our old favorite, Mini Shabu-shabu and went to meet Lala of Interplay this time with a laptop portfolio :). Same with jun hen, I am waiting for the final proposal.
