My Wedding Kwento Part 3

When we arrived at 310, it was raining. I couldn’t help but notice that the luminaries were not lit up, the songs they were playing were not my song choices, the tarpaulin was not setup and everything was just…magulo. But it was actually ok with me…I was happy and it didn’t matter.

Again, Michelle came with me to the room, and started retouching my makeup. And I was hearing the guests settle themselves.


Then it was time to make our grand entrance as a couple. We were introduced by our emcee, Ate Vive. Thank God the DJ got the entrance song right this time!!

So the program came and went. The traditions first, the dove, cake and wine. Another glitch—the wine we drank was not wine…it was…SPRITE!! Hahahaha!!! The wine were supposed to use was accidentally dropped and spilled. So no more wine for us! Ahahah!!!

I told you, so many glitches, eh??


And then dinner time for the guests and photo shoot. I was so hungry but we didn’t have time to eat because we had to smile and smile and smile. In the background, Totally Mesmerized was singing beautifully.

And then, it rained! Again!! Thank God we were able to finish the pictorials.


Then the program continued. I sang a special number for my groom (now husband). My father sang a special song for me. We performed the money dance tradition. And some messages from our relatives.

And then we were done!! We had our pictorials again by the garden (the rain stopped this time, thank God). And the day was finished…

I was tired, I was famished, my feet were aching, but I was happy! More than anything! The day was just perfect. We were married and that’s all that matters.

What I learned from my wedding day is that it doesn’t matter what happens during the wedding day. If it rained, if the guests didn’t make it, if the DJ didn’t play the right song, if the wine bottle broke, if…if...if…if… What matters is that I am now married to the man I have loved for the past 11 years. The man who I practically spent my teen years with. And now, we are starting a new life together. And we are in bliss… =)

Oh this post is really long…but I hope you enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed writing it. Supplier’s rating to follow!!

My Mommy Entry # 7

My In My Womb 3d/4d Ultrasound Experience Last Saturday, we had our 6th checkup with our OB-Gynecologist. So far, everything's ok. I passed my Glucose Challenge test, but I still need to cut on my sugar intake. We were also able to hear our little one's heartbeat. Next week I will be having my Tetanus Toxoid shot -- scary!! After the checkup, we proceeded to Makati for our scheduled 3d4d ultrasound at In My Womb. I have heard lots of great reviews about this ultrasound center so we have decided to have our ultrasound there. Their center is located at 2f, The Link Bldg, Ayala Makati. The building is beside Landmark. Before proceeding, we had our lunch first at Ineng's Special BBQ -- great food, terrible customer service! After eating, we then proceded to the 2nd level. We were greeted by a courteous nurse and I told her that I was scheduled for an ultrasound with Dra. Ramos. I would actually like to have the procedure done by the owner, Dra. Shiela Illescas, since i ...

Rants and Raves of a 26 year-old

Today I woke up wondering if yesterday was really my birthday. Yesterday went by so fast… And I didn’t even have time to reflect on the things that I needed to be thankful for. I have actually been whining about yesterday. I honestly didn’t feel good about anything. I was not happy. I was greeted by friends (who remembered), family and colleagues. Some sincere, some obliged. I used to love my day. But yesterday was entirely different. I didn’t feel anything special about the day. It was just an ordinary day for me. And I felt sad about it. I am actually not used to celebrating my birthday extravagantly. I just do things that I felt like doing for the day. Spend a day off from work, spend time with my loved one, simple dinner with the family, a simple surprise. But yesterday, I only got a few of my wishes. I spent a whole day at work, I spent a few hours with my hubby, and no dinner with family, and no surprise. It was sad, really. My hubby kept tel...

Easy way out

Yesterday (February 22), i took the easy way out. It's been almost a week since I gave birth to Jakob Caleb (separate post on my birthing story and the name).  I have been trying to breastfeed him since day 1 and I can say I was somehow successful on the first 4 days.  But came the 5th day...and i was literally crying and screaming every time I nurse him. Everything just seemed so wrong.  He was very fussy, probably because he can't get that much milk yet from me and I was scared of feeding him because i know how painful it's going to be.  We were awake from 1:40 AM until 7:00 AM just because he can't seem to be satisfied with my milk. Jake decided on Saturday morning to buy him the recommended formula given by the pedia.  And we fed him the bottle, and he fell soundly asleep for about 3 hours. I know i could have tried harder...but the bottomline is i don't think i can do it.  I have always admired mothers who breastfeed their babies without any problems a...
