Happy New Year!!!

Another year has gone. 2007 is definitely a memorable one for me.

It was last February when I decided to end my corporate career and enough guts to resign from my job. I had no specific plan yet what to do with my life, but I just know that I would be like wasting my time if I stay join the rat race.

I also did a lot of traveling this year. I guess it was partly soul searching, relaxing, and enjoying my freedom. I remember going to Manaoag alone on a whim then traveling to Baguio just in time for Panagbenga. I even went to Pagudpud alone and spent almost a week in that haven. Yeah, you can call it a celebration of freedom. I did those things because I can. A lot of people have money but they cannot do those things because they do not have the time.

Well, I didn’t always travel alone since I know it’s also fun traveling with friends and loved ones. I was able to go to Potipot Island with some of my sweetie’s friends during summer. Also, me and my sweetie was able to spend some quality time in Boracay which was really loads of fun.

This year, I also got into a very addicting hobby: Scrapbooking. It was really memorable that my first scrapbook EB was even on Scrapbooking Day (yep, there is an official scrapbooking day). It was a guilty pleasure spending on scrapbooking materials. As scrapbookers would agree, you can never have too much of scrapbooking materials. Whenever there are sales, scrapbookers usually end up not just shopping but HOARDING materials! I love this hobby since it is a venue for my creative side. I just hope for the coming year that I would be able to scrap more so that I can justify all my scrapbooking purchases. Well, other than the craft itself, I also love the fact that I am able to meet a lot of new friends. I just love surrounding myself with people who have passion (in this case, passion for scrapbooking).

This year, I also got into earning online and getting paid to blog. It can be considered as easy money, but you still need to exert some effort. So far so good since I’m earning good money without going to and 8hour job 5 days a week. There’s still a lot that I can do to optimize earning online so that’s something that I hope to do for this coming year.

This year I also got into wedding coordination. I admit it was Faye and Herbie’s announcement that they want me to coordinate their wedding which stimulated my mind to end my corporate career. I want to do what makes me happy and not just let myself be stuck at something people expect me to do.

I am looking forward to 2008. Hopefully it would be filled with more fun and adventures. May 2008 be prosperous for all of us!

Cheers to the year that has just passed and to this coming new year!

backgammon

What are the childhood games that you love playing? Well, I guess children nowadays have high-tech games already. Well, others are still the same childhood games but are now played through the internet just like backgammon online. Have you tried playing online backgammon? I would love to play backgammon soon just to relive those childhood games.

Wedding Ideas

Have you imagined how you want to get married? It’s funny that whenever I ask my hunnie about that he would always bring up riding on a horse on our wedding day and that I would be riding in a carriage. Yep, he is very particular of having a horse and riding like a prince charming. I don’t know if he is really serious about it (well, he did look serious) or was just really cracking me up. Well, we’ve got a couple of Wedding Ideas already. Hopefully we can come up with a unique (yet not so expensive wedding) that would be very memorable to us and to our relatives and friends.

Music back on2

I used to be such a music lover. I have more than 40 GB of mp3s! I even used to keep my media player open even when I’m sleeping (I had a sleeping playlist!). What happened to me? Why haven't I listened to my MP3's? I dunno. Well, guess what I’m doing right now? Browsing through my mp3’s and playing my favorite songs! It’s the only time that I realized that I miss listening to my favorite songs. Oh how I miss Montell Jordan and Tyrese!

Amazing Race Asia 2

I wonder who is going to win. I'm so tempted to search for spoilers. Hehehe! talk about emotional quotient! Well, of course my favorite is Marc and Rovilson. I have the hugest crush on Marc (I know you do to! Admit it!) I really enjoy watching the show because of them. Of course there are other teams with characters but of course, love your kababayan! Hehe! I love Amazing Race Asia 2!!!

consolidate debt

I guess all of us, at least at one point in our lives, owe Debt to somebody. It really is not easy when you ran out of cash and would need a help from a friend, family member, or if you need a bigger amount, probably the bank. Sometimes when unfortunate things happen, like losing a job or somebody gets terribly sick and you encounter financial crises, our debts somehow piles up and we have a hard time paying all of them. Sometimes uncontrolled shopping spree gets us into this kind of trouble as well. I know how these things can make you very problematic. Well, I advise you to get Free Debt Consultation.

I would certainly be looking forward to it!

radiator

Cars need maintenance. One must pay attention to the kind of care that it needs so that it would not conk out on you. You must be aware when to replace parts like your Civic Radiator since it only has a certain life span. You would not want it to stop working when you’re on the road, right?

Him being in the Amazing Race Asia 2 really makes me not miss any of its episodes. I know a lot of viewers love their team. They’re my favorite! Marc just had this pretty face, has a great body, and a great personality to match! I wonder what his flaws are…

OB visit

I guess all female gets scared for that first OB visit. The rule is to just be honest. Feel free to ask questions. It’s better to hear it from the expert.

I was just really glad that my boyfriend accompanied me in my first OB visit. I actually had a scare of having ovarian cancer. He was there for me when I had an ultrasound to check it out. Good thing the result was negative.

Well visiting your OB is just one fear you have to overcome.

pimp your ride

Are you the type who pimps his car? Well, I know of some friends who are so into cars that God knows how much money they’ve spent on their prized possessions. There’s just a lot you can do to pimp your ride (that’s why I love watching that show in MTV). You can add a lot of stuff like some Dodge Charger accessories in case you have one of the most customizable vehicles on the market. You can really do a lot with your ride so have fun customizing!

options

Have you ever wondered how to play in the stock market? I know that some people really hit it big and have earned so much with their investments. I have actually attended a basic seminar regarding how to trade stocks. Oh boy! There’s just too much to learn. It’s not that easy as some would think since it would take a lot of analysis to determine where to invest, when to sell, and when to pull out. I know there are softwares available which are used in analysis. This educational material would serve as a great guide. As they say, it’s your best options express to find, compare, analyze, and make money.

My spot

Now that I don’t have an office to go to everyday, I usually just lounge at Starbucks or Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf which are my favorite places to hang out. I usually accomplish a lot of writing when I’m at these places. I’m actually a regular at a particular branch of these establishments that I already know most of their crew. I have also established a certain spot where I usually sit. Of course it has to be near an electrical outlet where I can plug in my laptop! Hehe!

wedding woes

I have this friend whose fiance’s family doesn’t like her to the point that they spoke to her to call of the wedding! Can you believe that?! They say it’s because they’re 100% Chinese and they want their brother to marry a Chinese as well. How selfish! The couple really loves each other, but it’s just unfortunate that the guy couldn’t protect his girlfriend from her family’s harassment since he is working in another country.

Faye and Herbie's Wedding

I've been wanting to blog about Faye and Herbie's wedding but just can't seem to find a photo to go with it, so abangan niyo na lang yung pictures

Here's the story:

It was January 2007, during their last vacation here, when Herbie and Faye asked me to coordinate their wedding. I really felt honored since it really meant a lot entrusting another person to take care of your wedding preparations. It was basically a night at Galleria when we talked about the initial plans and the rest were all discussed through constant YM and emails.

Before they left for Australia again, they have already booked Our Lady of Lourdes and Nurture Spa in Tagaytay as their church and reception venues, the rest of the suppliers, I had to source and make arrangements with. Everything was doing great, until the couturier bruhaha happened (just read it from faye's post). Anyway, thanks to Minette Santiago who was able to pull off making the pretty entourage's gowns even if we only booked her around middle of November (take note, the wedding was scheduled dec 22).

I was so excited when Herbie and Faye finally came home. Their schedule was packed and there were still some details we had to take care of. I guess hindi talaga maaalis ang cramming. The day before their wedding, we already checked in at Tagaytay and made all the last minute preparations. It took us time to finalize the seating arrangements, specially with some additions of military guests. Unfortunately, we all had to sleep at around 3:00 and had to wake up at 4:30. (I know I'm such a bad coordinator for making my bride sleep this late! But I swear, maaga pa lang pinapatulog ko na sya! Hehe!)

I wasn't really sleepy. I guess it was adrenalin rush pumping. I'm glad the suppliers weren't stuck too long in traffic going to Tagaytay along with a lot of people going home to their own provinces. First who came in was Andrea and Ramil, who are part of our team. Then came in EJ Litiatco and her team. Then the team of Rene Gaviola and Buddy Gancenia. At that time, we still weren't finished with the name tags and guest sheets. It's good that some of the guests also helped out. It was really nice seeing some pisay98 people again!

We then left for Nurture Spa to check out the place. Seeing the place not yet prepped up! There was not one single table arrangement set-up and there weren't anybody working on them! Robin was just working on the couple's table. I just had to hurry them up since we wouldn't be able to put the name tags, guest sheets and souvenirs without the tables set-up. Seeing the cupcake set-up made me smile, though, since it really looked so pretty! It was really a great decision getting Yumi to supply the cupcakes and to take care of the set-up. Kakatawa lang when she made a comment na napamahal daw sila sa roses since orange roses costs a little more than red ones. Buti na lang daw kakilala naman daw niya si Herbie kaya ok lang.

Anyway, with the late preparations at Nurture Spa, our schedule was pushed. Unfortunately, with all the hurrying up, I slipped on a slightly muddy part of the garden! It was just a good thing that I was still wearing jeans then and not my dress. Parts of my body felt really sore pero hindi pwede mag-inarte. We were running pretty late. We had to leave BJ to finish all the preps at the reception.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to Faye and Herbie for the late start of the ceremony. It was pretty hard to stall the everything until the flowers and accessories arrive. *sigh* All stress was drained away the moment I saw Faye when we opened the door and the Sentimental Groove started playing Tunay na Ligaya, which was Faye's favorite. Hirap pigilan maging teary-eyed.

The reception was really fun, starting off with the couple's dance of Kahit Maputi na ang Buhok Ko along with the games for the bouquet and garter. The food was great! There was even Lechong Baka, complete with mga nag-iihaw na naka-cowboy get-up (c/o herbie's dad!). I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the host, Rea Villanoza who did a great job as well.

I know there were a lot of imperfections and plans na hindi nasunod and had to be adjusted at the last minute. But hearing the speeches of the fathers and the thank you's of the couple and the raves of the guests really uplifted my spirits. I really hope everybody enjoyed the wedding.

Faye and Herbie is such a cool couple! I wish you guys many more happy years together!

Rax and Russel's Wedding

Here are some pictures from Rax and Russel's wedding last Dec 15 at Fernbrook. I have yet to blog the details of their wedding but I'm just really terribly busy lately. I still have another wedding this coming Saturday, this time in Tagaytay so there's really a lot of stuff to do pa. I'll keep you posted soon!

Merry Christmas!!!!

Merry Christmas everybody!!!

We just got home from mass which lasted for more than 2 hours. I really love our parish church specially during this time of the year. The priest's sermon about the family really hit a lot of people. I know a lot were teary-eyed because of it. Even the candle ceremony was very meaningful. I just really feel blessed to have my whole family together. We may not have a perfect family but atleast we're still together and trying to understand and extend our patience regarding each other's quirks!

I'm happy for my sweetie's family as well since after so many years, his mom is back from Canada and they can celebrate Christmas together again. I'll be spending lunch with them on Christmas day which I'm really looking forward to since it's usually like a reunion for them where all the tita's, tito's and kids get together.

I just did some last minute shopping awhile ago with my sweetie. I really feel guilty not having to be able to spend so much time thinking and buying gifts due to my busy schedule. I just had 2 weddings in 2 weeks! I'm actually still sick right now and I don't have a voice and still got terrible colds.

Anyway, hopefully I'll get better soon. Hopefully everyone of us would enjoy Christmas day! I wish you all more blessings! I'm a little excited to do my year-end review just in time for New Year so watch out for that!

pop-up blocker

Have you experienced surfing certain sites which have those annoying pop-ups? For some who are not careful, they are usually lead to some porn sites or to some site advertisement. For some, it even spreads viruses when clicked. I’m just really glad that I know have a reliable popup blocker which I’m really loving since I wouldn’t have to worry anymore of those super annoying pop ups.

jewelries

It’s really hard to pick men's jewelry. I was thinking of giving my sweetie something nice but not tacky. Jewelry costs so much so one should really be very meticulous when picking a piece. Do you have some useful tips when picking one? I would really appreciate it. I love jewelries myself but it’s usually my mom or dad who buys them since they consider it as investments as well.

new laptop

It was really hard when my Toshiba laptop conked out on me. Spending 23k is just too much just for it to get fixed. I’m just really glad my dad brought home a new laptop. Well, it’s not exactly mine since it’s really for my mom, but since she doesn’t really use it that much, I’m the one using the new notebook computer. I really need it since I usually use it for meetings with my bride clients.

vacation

Wouldn’t you want to have a hassle-free vacation where all is left to do is just to simply relax and enjoy? Sometime you don’t get to appreciate much your vacation since there are a thousand things you need to think about and arrange. It would really be very nice to have an All Inclusive Cancun Vacations! I can just imagine just lounging on those hanging beds, sipping a fresh fruit shake and reading a good book. I can even just take a nice long nap there with the fresh wind gently breezing. That would be a really cool vacation to have especially after having so busy with work.

last minute shopping

Are you done with your shopping? It’s almost Christmas and I have barely started mine. Well, I know there are a lot of online shops like for volcom clothing who even offer Christmas gift deliveries. I think it would save me enough time to just shop online rather than brave the malls. I know it would certainly hard to endure the long lines and jam-packed malls.

precious rings

I have seen too many engagement rings lately, worn by soon to wed brides during wedding fairs. I have to admit getting a little jealous of their glistening diamonds. I guess more than the glitter, it’s the thought of finality of deciding who you will be spending your whole life with. I know how much those engagement and wedding rings can cost so it really doesn’t matter too much to me to get expensive ones. What matters most to me is the meaning of those rings.

free chat

There are a lot of sites offering free phone chat. With these free chat, you can meet a lot of new people all over the world. A lot have been burning those chat lines and enjoying it for free. It’s fun getting to know people from other countries. Some have even developed meaningful relationships through this.

backgammon

I miss playing backgammon. I remember playing it when I was younger. I know there are now available online backgammon wherein you can play for real money or for fun. If only I am not that busy, I would have played this game a little more often these days. Well, honestly, I really have to refresh myself on how to play this game. Of course tactics matters in order to win. Well, when my schedules gets a little free, I would probably try playing backgammon online.

thank god for truck lights

I remember having to go to a certain personal beach house in Batangas for our organization's semender party. It was actually late already and it was a new moon. We came to a point where it was rough road already and there were no lamp posts. It was pretty scary since I know we were lost already. There were no houses around to ask help with directions. It was pitch black if not for our truck lights. It seemed we went to far from the main road, that even our cell phone signal was dead already. Thank god for those truck lights or else we would have probably fallen from a cliff already. Well, we just had to turn and went back again to the main road and have someone fetch us from there. Good thing nothing bad happened to us.

It's not just food and service. There are also now real estate franchise that you can consider.

another innovation

Aren't you amazed of the new technology coming up lately? You can never underestimate the power of technology. I recently came across of a site which is into plasma cutting. Their SR-45i is a 45 amp air plasma cutting system. This can work at 100% duty cycle, ensuring that no time is waisted between plasma cuts. Their power supply is designed in such a way that you can save time during installation, maintenance and troubleshooting. These are all equivalent to cost savings! Their models are economical, yet precise and reliable. These are certainly some factors that matter when buying these kinds of things.

The first step

At one time my boyfriend had a subtle addiction to coffee. No, it didn’t get to a point wherein he got into a drug rehab for caffeine, silly. Those days, he just can’t get away from it and he has to get his fill of 3 cups a day. At one time he could even go more than that when for most people, one is already enough. He said to me that there’s really nothing wrong with having more than the average. I realized it was a form of addiction when he was a little irritable and stressed when he didn’t have it at the right time. That’s when it dawned on me that he had been in denial that there was some sort of chemical imbalance in his system. At first it was hard for him to swallow but he took it well and he doesn’t need coffee anymore even if he works on night shift.

A drug treatment center will always emphasize that admission to oneself that there is a problem is the most difficult but most important part of the recovery process. StopYourAddiction is a referral service that truly keeps this part in mind. The alcoholism rehab has a five-stage cleansing and self-control process rolled into a 28-day program. The service isn’t out for any profit and is worth mentioning to people you know that may be in need of help.

real estate

One of the most important investments to make is probably to acquire property. Have you noticed the emergence of real estates all over the city and even nearby provinces? You might want to consider buying one of those real estates which are at their pre-selling prices. Most do this and then sells the property afterwards at a much higher price. Well, you may opt not to sell them and actually personally use it. There are a lot of nice ones being sold which you might be attracted to buy, just like those Wilmington NC real estate.

online casino

Have you tried playing on online casinos? I actually have when I was into poker a year ago. Of course I was careful in joining since you use your credit card online. I made sure to read the casino guide carefully so I know what I was getting into. They have service oriented support who replies quickly to my inquiries. They also email you casino news.

Hoteles

It’s great that nowadays customer service is really given a premium by hotels. Some even have Spanish-speaking individuals who handle Spanish guests. Cool, isn’t it? I think multilingual guest relations officers are plus points for Hoteles so that they can communicate better with different nationalities. This way, when foreign guests call in to inquire about room rates, amenities, as well as reservations, they would be able to talk smoothly and ensure that information is carried out efficiently. At least the language barrier is broken down and guests would be able to ask questions and they can be answered accordingly. It somehow gives a personalized guest handling experience which for sure that the guests would remember.

sleep tight

They say that you should make it a point that you use your bed only for sleeping and not for working. I know a lot have the habit of doing some of their paper stuff and other work related stuff. Studies show that somehow this factor affects one’s sleeping condition. Well, there are a lot of other tips to keep in mind with regards to getting a good night’s sleep. Of course, there’s getting the right mattress for you. Some would prefer it too soft, while some a bit hard. It really depends on one’s preference.

rental property investment

A lot have ventured into real estate. It may take a some hard work but if you get to close a deal, it's like hitting the jackpot in a slot machine due to the commission that you would be getting. There are a lot of opportunities in real estate. Some go into rental property investment. Investors would buy real estates and then rent out the place. Others buy and develop real estates and then sell it at a higher price.

sports

Are you into sports? Well, it's usually a guy thing but who says women don't enjoy sports just as much as men do? I admit to be a fan of UAAP even if my school isn't one of the top teams. I remember watching fondly the games and keeping up with the standings. Of course the Ateneo - Lasalle rivalry is pretty much amusing so I never miss out on their games. I'm also a bit fond of the World Series. It would really be great if I can have my hands on some world series tickets. I'm sure I would enjoy watching the games live!

I love Connie Talbot!

I really love Connie Talbot! She's got the most amazing voice for a 6 year old! And to think that she never got formal lessons! That angelic voice could instantly melt anybody's heart! I actually can't help but get tear eyed everytime I hear her sing! It's such a great news when I learned that Connie Talbot already released her first album which includes the following songs:

1. Somewhere over the Rainbow
2. I believe
3. White christmas
4. Smile
5. Imagine
6. Walking in the air
7. Favourite things
8 Wonderful world
9. Ben
10.I will always love you
11.Silent night
12.I have a dream

I wouldn't mind getting her album as a gift (hint! hint!) Hehe!


gifts to give

I've been slowly doing my Christmas shopping. I'm terribly busy this month, but I still make it a point to allot time to buy gifts for my loved ones. I'm still contemplating what to give my parents since I want to make sure that they will like it very much, yet wouldn't hurt my wallet too much. I'm thinking of gifts to give to my closest friends. I'll probably give some maternity clothes to one who just got pregnant, and some baby stuff to one who just gave birth. Oh well. I hope I get to finish my shopping soon. I'm excited to do the wrappings already!

cars?

Are you planning to buy a new car? What car would you want? There’s just a lot to choose from nowadays. Do you want an automatic or manual? What model do you want? What brand? How much budget do you have? If you’re around the area, how about considering Used Cars San Antonio has to offer. You can visit their website so you can check out the cars that they have. It’s so efficient and hassle-free to shop for a new car, right? You just have to log on in the internet and you can view the different cars that you can choose from.

crunch time

I've got very busy days ahead of me because of the three weddings. It's crunch time. I admit it can be tiring, but I enjoy these kinds of things. I feel honored to be a part of one of the most special days for my couples. I just really hope everything works out great. I hope we cover even the smallest details and deliver the kind of wedding that my clients imagine their wedding to be. Oh well, times like this I just really hope that I have a car so that I wouldn't have a hard time going to the different places to meet up with my clients and suppliers.

fernbrook

Oh my God! We went to Fernbrook last friday and we were surprised to see that they're not yet done! And to think they had a scheduled blessing the following day! My bride panicked a little. I can't blame her! It's just a good thing that it's still 2 weeks before their wedding there. Hopefully by that time the place would be a little bit closer to what they have advertised it to be. Well, it's vandolph's wedding today there. I hope they show it in TV so I can get a glimpse of the developments of the place.

slot machines

You are definitely stressed out when you start Googling the internet for tips on how to cope with stress just as I did. Lo and behold I found a site with lots of tips. One tip that struck me the most is to play games. But I know one site which has its members coming back. I like to play online poker but I also like to play slots. As much as the layman says it is based purely on luck, there are strategies that one can use in order to maximize his profits. If you just stay out of addiction, playing slot machines can be a great way of de-stressing yourself when you get home. How about you, have you tried playing with a slot machine?

against drugs

Having someone you love get into drug addiction can really be emotionally challenging. Facing the problem can really be difficult. A lot have a hard time dealing with it, not knowing what to do to help your loved one.

I knew someone who was into it. It was indeed hard to interact with him without feeling a little awkward knowing what he is into. He is an intelligent man which makes it extra surprising of his addiction. I wonder what made him start doing it. They say, it sometimes just really takes once and you just really might get addicted to it and look forward for the next hit. Everybody is talking behind his back and somehow feel pity of how he is destroying his life. I used to think he is one of those who have a great future ahead of him, but I guess if he continues with addiction, he’s like throwing his future already.

I just hope his family would be strong enough to put him into a drug rehabilitation program. I know getting a drug rehab is not the easiest thing to do, but if not done as soon as possible, it just might be a little extra hard to get him that drug treatment that he badly needs.

I hope more drug rehabilitation institutes be formed so that they will be more accessible. Better programs and housing facilities should be given focus in order to assure the effective treatment of the patients. I wonder how one can ensure that the patient would not be going back to his addiction. I can just imagine how hard it is during the first few days of the patient inside the rehab. I guess this is why they make it a point to really beautify the place and provide alternative activities so that the patient can keep his mind off his addiction and just divert it somewhere else.

plasma

I've been drooling over those plasma TVs for quite some time already. I know it's not really a necessity, but that is definitely one of the things at the top of my list to of things which are nice to have! It's just really a bit costly so it might take a bit of time when I would be able to get my hands on time on it! But I can just imagine how much fun it would be watching my favorite DVDs there especially with a nice sound system. I saw some plasma lifts as well so that they would be properly mounted. You might as well optimize the plasma experience, right?
