guilty as charged.
i just had my eyelash extension this evening. man it hurt like hell!! all the while i was lying, i just kept on thinking "this is the downside of vanity" the aesthetician did mention though that it was doing to hurt. what she failed to mention was that it was gonna hurt AFTER.
so there. my eyes were bloodshot red, i was crying all over. when i arrived home, everybody was "what happened to you?" which really translated "did you and zayd have a fight?" hahahaha! all i could answer them was "why wasn't i born with long lashes??" my brother has these :( talk about unfair!!!
only 3 days left :) i haven't packed by stuff hehe i could not get decent time with my room hahaha :) peace out daniel :) you know i love you for coming home for this very special day :)
a couple of friends threw me a bridal-shower-cum-dinner last wednesday. i had 5 of my close friends with me and it was fun. chickahan lang. i did not feel as if it will be my last night out with the girls after i get married. but it sure was fun seeing mich, gayle, and shelly again after a long time. errr... maybe not gayle :) haha!
so we had dinner at italianni's at GB3. so ayan picture taking na. akalain nyong, may waiter na umepal. as in nag pose ng mala-mr. pogi. i'd post it here if i had a copy. haha! super nakakatawa. we asked for another picture to be taken, this time wala na sya. the waiter was apologetic naman. pero it gave us more reason to laugh.
it's almost 1am and i am still up. yes. i'm backing up my files so that my boss can borrow my external hard drive for a week. :) that's what you call -- for the love of... :D

a few realizations during my prenuptial pictorials:
i've always FANTASIZED of being a model, now i realize it's really very hard. for a couple of reasons
- you need to wake up early to prepare
- you need the perfect set of clothes to change into
- if you are doing an outdoor shoot, you need to stay tuned to the weather forecast. it was raining -- errr drizzling -- when we had our shoot so it was kinda humid. it was better than having it in the usual hot weather.
- you must know which angle gives off the best shot
- SMILE! SMILE! SMILE!!!
after the shoot, zayd was all simangot. he says his muscles hurt due to smiling all the time for the cam.
here are a few of my favorite shots...
mahirap talaga sya pangitiin :'(
syempre dapat kasama si vio... na dahilan bakit nagkaganito!!! bwahaha!! :D
haaaay! i never thought i could accomplish all my tasks during this long break.
i already wrote about the saturday and sunday activities (see previous posts).. so here's the hot update for today..
without my dad knowing (sorry dad! *kiss*), we went ahead and had a "working" breakfast with our officiating priest, lolo bobby. we arrived late at his home and we were already kind of worried that he may have gone off elsewhere :( all the activity over the weekend was really tiring. good thing was, he also had the same kind of weekend. so when we arrived, he was still fast asleep.
zayd and i went out again for some jollibee breakfast, took 'em out and shared with the rest of the guys in lolo's house. by the time we got back, lolo was awake and happily ate the breakfast we brought. :)
so there, while we were having breakfast, i went ahead and asked for his advice on how the ceremony should go. if i haven't mentioned it already, this is going to be a mixed marriage, so it requires a different format. we went through a couple of sample missalletes and a really old book -- a 1982 edition -- discussing and describing how mixed marriages should go (including muslims!). he was about to lend it to us but since it was really old, he decided to make copies of pages of the ones that applied to us :)
we even had the readings nailed down! :) *YEY!*
so now i have to start typing and looking for a printer hehe :) wish me luck guys!
