Wedding Suppliers' Ratings Part 2







Photo/Video: RJL Digital Photography and Videography

****

Peso Power: 37k

Ninong Bobby is my godfather. He has been the family’s official photographer and vodeographer for years now. He was even my parents’ photographer and videographer during their wedding. His package was affordable compared to others. I only gave him 4 stars because the shots were mostly traditional. But nevertheless, they were able to capture our moment.

Backup Photographer: Espesyal na Ngiti

Peso Power: 4k

*****

I love Jeff and Christine! They are really easy to talk to. And I was even surprised that they are also newlyweds. We opted to get backup photographers because we wanted to have non-traditional shots. And their package is really affordable! I love their wedding photostory AVP. Another w@w find. Super sulit. Of course, 5 stars! And if I were given the chance to get them as photographers again, of course I would!! Maybe on my baby’s 1st bday?? Hmmm… that’s a thought.. =)

HMUA: Michelle Zapanta

*****

Peso Power: 9.5k (Including Trial Makeup, Bride+2pax, grooming of groom) (800 addl head)

Another w@w find. Affordable, but the quality of his (yes, he is a HE) work is really superb. I had my trial make-up 2 months before the wedding (just in time for the prenup pictorial). And I decided to book him right there and then. He was so easy to talk to and he really knows what he is doing. And he uses imported products too. I’m so happy with my hair and makeup. So happy that I even got him to do my makeup during our Christmas Party! =)

Cupcake Tower: Yumi Castrillo’s Piece of Cake

*****

Peso Power: 7.8k / 100pcs cupcakes + cutting cake

Source: Weddingsatwork

Yumi is a lawyer by profession. But according to her, being a lawyer is just her sideline. Yumi is nice and easy to talk to. Her packages are really affordable. Unfortunately, we were not able to have a taste of her cupcake during our meeting. But I just relied on w@w sisses’ good reviews. I just told her my motif and my preference as to what the tower would look like. She delivered well and the cupcakes were delicious. Compared to traditional fondant cakes, cupcakes I think are more worth your money because everyone gets to take a piece of it. Oh by the way, the cutting cake was also yummy!!

Hotel: Parque EspaƱa

*****

Peso Power: 15k (2 days/2 nights, 3 bedroom suite)

The hotel was nice. The staff were accommodating. Compared to other hotels within the vicinity, Parque is more affordable. Too bad I was not able to take a dip at their pool. But their breakfast buffet was really good!

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

Troubles and Trials

It's been a loooonnnnggg time since I last wrote down my thoughts.  Times are hard and it's very challenging to keep up with the demands of life.  Sometimes I can't help but wonder why other people are luckier than some.  And then I go on thinking if I am part of the "luckier" ones.  Yes, I may have problems and and challenges that I have to go through but at least I am still alive.  My loved ones are still with me and I can still go through each day, albeit one day at a time. I wake up every day thinking if I can still go on another day pretending that everything's ok.  And then I finish each day thinking how I was able to go through the entire day without giving up. And then, I look at the people I love and I know the answer.  It's because of them that I keep on struggling and I keep on fighting.  To the words of my husband, "you are not helpless because everyday you choose to fight". Life is tough.  But I am tougher. I can. I will.

Transformation

What do you think of when you hear the word "Transformation"? For me it means changing and evolving for the better.  But how does it really feel like when one undergoes the transformation process?   One thing's for sure -- it is not an easy process.  When you undergo a transformation, it means going back to basics.  Unlearning what you know and accepting new ways.  Sometimes transformation can hit you pretty bad that you think it is not necessary.  But in the long run, it is always important to understand the need for such change.  You may not believe and understand it now, but at least try to give it a chance. Sometimes hearing the word scares me.  Not because I am afraid of what it brings, but because I am too comfortable where I am now and I think any movement will cause me to fall down.  But hey, I have been through tougher times.  And I will surpass this for sure.
