i woke up early today to finally pack my stuff for the wedding. i have been "ejected" of my room for the past week because of Daniel *peace ulit! i love having you here!*.. so as soon as he got up, i spent an hour getting my stuff out. with that out of the way, i went through my list of stuff to bring.
i was all ready in 2 hours. everything was stowed in my car -- the trunk was full of wine, the backseat was stuffed with my gown, accessories, and so on.
i picked Dj up at Glorietta 4, and headed off to tagaytay. traffic was kinda hard so it took us about 2.5hrs to get there from makati. the weather was still uncooperative, though it was really scattered and short.
my family loved T. it was breathtakingly beautiful.
when zayd arrived at T, we went on to Nurture spa to check things out. the tents were in place and they were working on the tables na.
all my toxicity suddenly went kaput when i saw the place. maski raw pa, it felt really romantic. *i kissed zayd*
so why am i still up? :)
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
here is a list of what we need to accomplish, yet again, this weekend :) so far, so good.

our kissing bells proudly DIY'd by yours truly
will post more pics of the cord and hair vine, DIY'd by MOH DJ *kiss mwah hugs*
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
