Afterall!

October was a hell of a ride.

I guess I have to start by saying that we almost fell apart.I was pushed to make a choice - and it was the most difficult choice I made.  

But prayers are powerful - we hang in there. God let us carry on. 

Its an everyday adjustment but God strengthened me. I made it.

Dramas didn't end there. We encountered the most difficult person so far. He who didn't recognize questions or reasons. He, who pushed us to our extreme and let us be eaten by the ground.. 

Amidst the chaos, we tried to be normal again.

Sir, the damaged you gave is far fetched, but we chose to forgive. 

Sometimes, I can't stand the thought of sharing even the same road or street with you. But I'll remain faithful that this too, will go away. We forgive ourselves from expecting from you and we forgive you, too.  Let's all be merry with our new beginnings. Can't wait to exchange smiles with you.

And oh, Thank you because I never appreciated peace like this before. 

Days went on and God has brought us out of darkness into His marvelous light.. God is really Good!

He made use of Dominic Barrios' talent to renew our relationship when it was in our lowest. Who would have thought that pictures can give us that. The engagement  session we won from Dominic has been by far, one of the biggest blessing we received as a couple. It wasn't just the talent - but the time invested to us. I will forever be grateful for the blessing. 

Thank you Dominic!  I wish I can tell you how much it really meant. It wasn't just the pictures but you help us restore whatever was left to us.and we're really sorry we weren't thoughtful enough...You craft makes Him happy up there. I pray that God will continuously bless you and the craft that you do! 

To cap it all, Thank you Starbucks! ha ha I won too! woo hoo!

*rosing*

Wedding

It's been some time since I wrote an entry. This time it'll be for my wedding. It's set on January 18, 2014. I am super excited  - I can't sleep!

It's a Christian Wedding to be held in Top of the Citi, 34th Flr, Citi Bldg., Makati City.
(Sa ngayon yan palang ang sigurado. ha ha) I have changed the venue more than I can remember but rooftop wedding or maybe, Metro / Urban weddings holds a very special place in my heart. It reflects my personality very well - carefree.

Although admittedly, it's a pain to get lots of event styling ideas for this kind of wedding. It's seldom featured in the Philippines (can't get lots of ideas) so I have to marvel my way to read foreign blogs. Luckily,  I found one (just 1!) wedding before that was held in this place, and fell in love with it. Please see pictures here:  http://cargocollective.com/giveitashot/881737  From then, I am telling the universe how I am eager to have the same kind of wedding. 

Theme: Up in the clouds! I can already envision the palettes in dashes of blue, white, yellow, fuschia -ha, colorful vibes! 

I already shopped around for suppliers. But I started with the few chunks *those that will eat a relative high budget! haha 

Photos and Videos took the 3rd and 4th in my priority list right after the Venue and food. Weddings will not stay in your memory forever but photos and videos are your reminders of that day when you can't contain your excitement to start your happy ever after.

Photos: Imaginenation  http://imaginenationphoto.com/

Photogs in Imagenation are all good. Really, really good. I can say that I'm at peace even if I'll go for the Jr photographers. I know that they are being trained well. I like how Larry Leung http://imaginenationphoto.com/larryleong/ captures candid events combining it with the sentimental one's. He's an architect too, he, among others will have the best idea how to capture a rooftop wedding while highlighting the good points of the place. As to date, he's still available. (yey!)

Videographer: Reflective Chemistry http://www.reflectivechemistry.com/

For an incredibly low priced service - wow! They are new to the industry (atleast for the video)  but already worked out a few works which are plausible to us. I am very excited to get our SDE's done! :)
