The Excitement Begins

Last Tuesday i went to visit Ville Sommet with my family and friends... I really cant explain how i feel.. I am so excited, happy, and thinking how will it look like on our wedding day... The place is so nice, you'd love it too... Everybody's asking to move our wedding earlier, like June 2011.. haha!! I bet they are more excited than I am.. They actually cant wait to see me walking down the aisle and exchanging "I do's" with my man... Things are better than i expected... And yes, I have a theme already, Rossel and I talked about it, but It's not yet final.. haha!! We are both busy during the holiday season.. So maybe we'll finalize it by early next year.. But it'll be very classy.. I want it with a touch of elegance... And I am very thankful for all these... I am sooo blessed... blessed with a wonderful husband-to-be, blessed with a very supportive family and friends, and blessed with a wonderful life..

Less than a Year

Excited, nervous, happy, sad.

EXCITED. It's because I'M GETTING MARRIED!! I'm excited to do the planning.. i still don't know what our wedding will look like, i kept on changing my mind, especially with the style of gown that i will be wearing.. But with the venue and reception and caterer, we have decided already.. it's a dream wedding for me.. and i'm so glad my husband to be let me decide in everything, as long as i'll be his bride.. haha! Our motif will be red, gold and white, since it will be a wedding on December. Some asked me why i wanted to have it on December, well aside from it's Christmas month, it's the time of the year were everybody's happy, full of love, giving, forgiving.

NERVOUS. I'll be a wife soon. I may not be the perfect wife, but i will be the ideal... I know it'll be difficult during the first few months of married life, i need to do so much adjustments... my life will be totally different... but that's the challenge! Then I'll be a mom... I don't know how am i going to take good care of a child inside my womb... It's very delicate... And i'll be very sensitive... just like my friends who are expecting, they are having mood swings... and the vomiting thingee.. it'll be a major major headache i guess...

"Dear Lord, I am now praying to conceive a healthy and happy child, it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, but Marlon wants a baby boy. Be with us. Thank You."

HAPPY. I'm going to have my own family real soon, a good husband and wonderful children (as in children na ha.. gusto ko madami.. sana kaya ng powers ko at ng bulsa namin).. The other day, I and Marlon went to Ikea to look for a sofa bed for my brother, I imagined we have our own house here in Singapore, and I'd love to do the interior decorating. I want it cozy, classy, and modern, motif will be black, red and white, with the touch of yellow... We are planning to buy a house and lot also in Philippines, still don't know where.. I wanted to have one in Tagaytay.. like a resthouse.. =) dreams, dreams, dreams... I saw a children's corner in Ikea, it's sooo cute.. the beds, the tables and chairs, there's also a mini kitchen for kids. can't wait to see my lil girl.. =) I wont dream for a car, He doesn't know how to drive, so do i.. haha!! but i asked him to learn.. I don't know if he will.. hehe.. But if i'll get the chance i want to learn also.. And I'm dreaming of having a business, a boutique perhaps? or make-up store? or restaurant? whatever it is, as long as it's under my name, i'm fine with that.. (ambisyosa lang,, pero why not?)

SAD. I'm leaving single life soon.. That means there's no more "ME".. but hey! I'm glad because there will always be "THEM", my new family or family in the making?! such a blessing to look forward to.. hehe... <3


Oh well, I'm pretty sure I'm ready for this... And I am very happy where I am now... And still looking forward to get all my dreams come true.. And I think it'll be faster to catch those dreams with the help of my significant other.. two is better than one, right?!

One down - My dream wedding.

Our Love Story

This was actually posted na on our wedsite.. i just wanna share it here..

Marlon and I met last October 2008.. it was my first photo shoot here in Singapore and he was one of the photographers then.. we became friends and not a single hint that we will end up as lovers.. because as far as I can remember, a friend told me lately that at first, Marlon wasn’t really attracted to me when we first met and just the same I wasn’t attracted to him too.. but I don’t know what happened to him, time came when he suddenly felt different about me, he wants to go to a certain level of relationship, something more than friendship.. (like what he said "di kita friend") but during that time, I wasn’t feeling the same.. i told him I can offer him nothing but friendship.. he’s asking for something impossible but my words didn’t stop him.. i was in a relationship then, but he was still hopeful about us being together someday.. he even said he will marry me when that day comes.. (the exact words were:"pag naghiwalay kayo pakakasalan kita") i just laughed about it thinking that his feelings for me won't last, and soon he'll realize that there's no chance at all.. we remain friends though. good friends.. from then on, he was always there for me, loving me unconditionally.. hats off to Marlon for that.. I'm really speechless.. fast forward, my past relationship wasn't successful and Marlon's prayers, i guess were answered.. (sanggang dikit yata sila) the day that he was waiting for finally came.. i opened my heart again to love and this time, it's beating for the man whom he said he will marry me.. and yes, he kept his word.. something i never really expected.. i guess i already experienced the true magic of love :) a relationship made strong by friendship, united forever with trust, love and God above... And yes we're getting married! I will marry my friend, the one i laugh with, live for, dream with, will love forevermore. just like what his friends told him, "kapag may tyaga, may nilaga".. ***Hugs***

Meet the Parents

The year is almost over.. Few more days I'm back to Philippines.. My husband to be will be spending christmas with my family, on Lola's house in Cavite. It'll be the first time they will see Marlon, I have introduced him through webcam though.. (parang OFW commercial lang.. hehe) I've been asking him, if he's nervous to see my family, and with so much confidence, he simply replied, "NO". Well I guess he really won't, because he is too excited to meet my whole family, he's been keeping in touch with my sister Cheenee lately, naghahanap na yata ng kakampi.. And I'm really excited to see my whole family this Christmas, It's been 3 years na since the last time I celebrated it with them.. So for sure, this year will be a blast, and my relatives from Canada are home too, haven't seen them for a decade na yata... =)

Anyway, what will make it more exciting this holiday is, I'm gonna start to do our wedding preparation with the help of my friend Rossel, our planner. We actually booked the church na - Calaruega's Transfiguration Chapel, and the reception venue - the Ville Sommet. The venue is actually pricey, but it's all worth it! I haven't been there though, but feedback from my friends and friend's friends, they said it's really beautiful, perfect for an intimate wedding... We'll visit the place soon.. And yes will post some photos here.. Too bad Marlon won't be able to come along, he needs to go back to Baler for his brother's wedding.. =)

I haven't met his parents, I can't come with him sa Baler kasi.. I'm loaded with reunions.. But for sure next year I will be able to see them, my brother actually wanted to go to Baler na.. hehe.. =) So I will see you really soon Baler, and my soon-to-be in laws.. =)
