swamped

I’m swamped with things to do. Sometimes I wonder if there’s just too much stuff to do or my time management skills are at a low. Sometimes I feel old already. I don’t have as much energy as I used to. A friend even used to call me an energizer bunny. I miss those good old days when I’m much more productive and I can multi-task a lot of stuff.

vacation

We haven’t really planned out our honeymoon yet because of budget constraints. It would be so much fun to go on a weeklong vacation! We have a lot of places in mind actually. If only we have lots of money, we would probably go to Paris, or do a European tour, or go on a cruise, or probably try out that romantic vacation riviera maya that we’ve always been reading about. There really are a lot of places to go to but the budget is really a big constraint. Let’s just see what we can come up with. I don’t actually mind wherever we are going. I just really want to spend some quality time with my sweetie.

excited

I’m excited to get pregnant, but at the same time frightened as well. It’s just fun to think about having your own baby but the responsibility somehow scares me. Of course no mom wants to screw up in taking care of their children as they grow up. Unfortunately, a lot of parents do screw up. I don’t want to be one of those. Anyway, I just want to enjoy the ride. I’m so ready to go through this next chapter of my life.

gowns

I need to finalize the gown designs already. It takes so much of my time browsing through sites and looking for sample pictures and short listing which ones to choose from. This part of the wedding preparations is the least that I like. I’m really not a fashionable person and I’m not so much into clothes. I’m really more of the comfy type of person and not the stylish one. Oh well. I hope I get to choose designs that would look nice on my entourage. Of course I would get their approval first so they’d love what they’d wear on my wedding.

paintball

Where do you buy those Paintball goggles? It’s amazing how paintball fanatics have really invested in their own full gear. Of course they are considering keeping them safe while playing, thus buying parts to protect their bodies. Well, I hope I can try it out and play paintball. It would certainly be a great experience for me. It’s a team effort though so it would be nice to belong to a team with a great game plan to ensure winning the game. I wonder where we can play paintball. It would be so fun to play this game with my sweetie. I’m sure he would enjoy it as well.

almost ready

We’re almost ready to go! We’ve basically booked all the suppliers. The major pending task right now would be dealing with the gowns. By the end of the month, we can already apply for a marriage license. There are a lot of small tasks that needs to be done but I’m glad that my sweetie helps out whenever he can. I’m just really glad that I was able to get to know the different wedding suppliers which helped me a lot in deciding which ones to choose.

guestbook

I’m happy to finish our D-I-Y guestbook for the wedding! I printed out some questions on a nice decorated board which follows our beach theme. I’m excited to read how our guests would answer the questions. We would be distributing this to each guest so that they would have something to do while waiting for us at the reception venue since we would still be having a pictorial at Camp Aguinaldo after the ceremony.

disney

We’re hoping we could get those Disney Tickets for our honeymoon vacation! It would be fun spending the whole day with my sweetie in Disneyland! It would really be great for him to experience going to Disneyland! I’ve been there once and would want to go back again since a day just seems not enough to go around Disney. I really hope we could finalize our honeymoon plans already. We’re still not sure if we can afford going out of the country for our honeymoon vacation. I really hope we could travel far. It’s always nice to travel with the one you love. I can’t help but get excited just thinking about it.

changing weather

It's amazing how the weather could change so fast. One minute it's so hot outside with the sun shining so brightly. Then one moment it would start to rain so hard. And then after a few minutes, the sun would show itself again. It's just so crazy. It's really suggested never to leave the house without an umbrella. It pays to be prepared or you just might get soaked or fried.

Divisoria

We need to go to divisoria soon so we can talk to the one who would make my bridal gown as well as the gowns of the entourage. It’s so much cheaper to have them all made there. What’s good about them is that they do home service so the whole entourage wouldn’t have to go to Divisoria anymore. We plan to take the measurements and do all the fitting at our house so it would be convenient for everybody.

diet

I have tried going on a diet for so many times already. I guess it doesn’t help that I get stressed at work, which makes me crave so much for food to pamper myself. It’s only a couple more weeks before I get my measurements for my gown. Well, I’ve almost given up home in losing weight. It’s great that my sweetie ensures me how much he loves me no matter if I gain more weight. But of course we both would like to lose weight more of for health purposes and not just for aesthetics purposes.

RV

Do you love traveling? Do you love going on road trips? Well, maybe it would be great to have your own RV. That would be so cool to bring when going on road trips! I would want one if I have the money! Well, for those who are looking for a site which sell motorhome, you can visit rvt.com. They have lots of options out there. You would probably get to find one which you would really like.

motorcycle

My cousin has been riding a motorcycle for years already. Of course it still alarms us since we all know that there’s really a high risk of getting into an accident when driving a motorcycle. Well, we all just hope that he would always keep safe when riding. He always ensures that his motorcycle is in tiptop shape. He even bought a motorcycle jack so he can inspect his motorcycle more meticulously.

random quizzes

One of our consultants is also a faculty of the IE department in UP. It’s funny when he starts quizzing us if we still remember all the IE stuff we have (supposedly) learned in college. Sometimes he would randomly ask us about queuing, order fulfillment, project management, quality, etc. Well, unfortunately, some I really couldn’t remember, just like who Taylor is and his contributions to IE! Oh well.

fully booked

We all look forward to weekends when we can (supposedly) be free from work and get that much needed rest. Well, it looks like my weekends are already fully booked for the weeks to come because of all the wedding related stuff we need to do as well as all the extra time I would need to devote to work. Unfortunately, our project is around a month late already. By this time we should have been able to launch the pilot survey at Cebu already. Oh well. I guess I have to be in super woman mode again in order to finish everything that needs to be done.

shoe hunting

Men rarely go shopping, but when they do, they usually spend so much! Buying men’s shoes can be equivalent to a couple of pairs of shoes already for women! Anyway, my sweetie plans to do some last minute shopping for his shoes before our wedding. He still doesn’t know what type of shoes to get. I was trying to suggest some Dansko shoes I saw online. Well, more or less it would be something he can wear more regularly. He’s just too lazy to do some window shopping for the mean time.

sale

I am trying to control myself from giving in to the temptation of splurging on shopping. It is quite a challenge especially when your favorite store is on sale. Oh well. I hope I get to hold up until the wedding is over. Sometimes when I’m so stressed from work, it’s so tempting to go on a retail therapy! Well, I just really have to discipline myself and find other venues I can release my stress.
