Baby Kobe my stress reliever

My fiance's Uncle gave us an early wedding gift. It's a puppy yey! They gave us a Shih tzu pup and we named him Kobe "kow-bee" since my fiance's favorite athlete is Kobe Bryant. He was only 1 month old when we got him. It's true that puppies shouldn't be apart from their parents or mother's until 2 months, but Kobe's case is different. Unfortunately Kobe's mommy "Twiggie" is seriously sick and baby pups can't go near her. Mommy Twiggie only breast fed her baby pups for a week and the doctor advised the breeder to just have the puppies bottle fed instead since mommy Twiggie is not in a good condition.
Having Kobe is good, especially for me since I've been a little stress for these past few days. We only have a month to go before our big day and just before we had baby Kobe I've been thinking and worrying a lot. But when baby Kobe came things go slowly, I don't worry that much anymore. It's like having a real baby since he's still a baby he can't eat solid food yet. We bought him milk and feeding bottle. We also went to a vet to have him checked by a doctor. The doctor have him "dewormed" and he did some tests and vaccine. It's not easy to take care of a puppy. You should really put time , effort, money and love of course.
Baby Kobe stay's in my fiance's house during the weekdays and my soon to be mother-in-law is so kind to take care of him like a real baby. She even wakes up in the middle of the night just to feed baby Kobe since he should be fed every 3 hours at that time. From Friday to Sunday night Baby Kobe stay with me.
Baby Kobe is now 1 month and 10 days , I can see his development and I'm really enjoying his company. I can also say that my fiance is so supportive of me and I know tha he loves baby Kobe like I do. We are planning to have baby Kobe wear a tuxedo on our wedding day. Of course he should be present in our very special day.
He's like my stress reliever from all the stress I'm having.

Actual same-day edit of Kris and Flords

Same-day-edit video is an additional/extra service that P/V service provides. In our case we got our same-day-edit video for free, it's actually not included in the package that we took but since we booked them in a bridal fair they gave us a lot of freebies and discounts. It actually cost a lot so we're lucky that we have it for free.

Same-day-edit video or also known as onsite video is an edited video of what happen from the bride and groom preparation , to the church or the actual ceremony up to the reception. These are actually the highlights and we can also say the best thing that happened from the morning preparation until the reception. These videos are often being shown to the guest while their having the meal. It's very entertaining for the guests especially when they see theirselves on the big screen.

Pre-nup Pictures and Video of Kris and Flords

I already booked our official Photographers and Videographers as early as last year. I booked Smart Shot Studio because I've seen their works before and I'm very much impressed with it . They covered several celebrity weddings so I think we're in good hands.
We will also have a pre-nup Photo and video session with them this coming February, but we still haven't decide where to shoot. Anyways , our very good friends Kris and Flords just got married last November 30 and my fiance is one of their groomsmen. I asked for their permission to put their actual photo an video pre-nup session with East Digital Photography here.

Our 7th year Anniversary

Today, we celebrate our 7th year together. I can still remember the day that I said "Yes" to him to be my boyfriend, it was in January 4, 2003 at Bed Rock Resto Bar in Malate Manila. We had a candle light dinner, since then it's been 2,558 days and still counting.
Some people say that the 7th year is the most critical year for couples, some say that this is the year where problems and trouble occur, it can be possible I guess, but for a relationship as strong as ours, no trouble or problem can make us apart.
So here we are celebrating our 7th year together, we had a late lunch at Conti's Restaurant. Here are some of our pictures taken while havin lunch at Conti's . Enjoy !!!

While waiting for our order ( 7 Fingers )

We were satisfied with our lunch, we didn't bother to have a big celebration since we need to save money for our wedding this April which we really are looking forward to....
Happy 7th anniversary to us!!!!!

My Wedding HMUA

For soon to be brides I'm sure they are very familiar with this acronym "HMUA" or most commonly known as Hair and Make Up Artist. Last Sunday I attended another bridal fair with my fiance. It was The Philippine Wedding Summit, one of the longest and biggest running bridal fair in the Philippines that was held in PICC.
I've been eying "Make up by: Jeng & Carlan" and I often visit their website. I've seen so many beautiful brides. Their make up is really impressive especially the before and after. It's a good thing that my soon to be sis-in-law Mya will pay for my HMUA as her wedding gift.... Luv yha Mya!!! I'm really a very lucky bride!!!! I finally booked them and my make up artist will be Ms. Jeng Sy.
These HMUA's these days can really cost much money, to think that make-up can only last for a few hours or a day in my case since I availed their "Airbrush" service.
Airbrush is getting popular these days because it doesn't need retouching anymore since it's long lasting and the effect is really different because it has a flawless effect. Traditional make-up tends to grease and show caking after a few hours but not with the airbrush make up.
I wanted to just have a simple fresh look on my wedding day, a simple white eyeshadow will do. I also want to have my hair curled and relaxed half up do.

Here are some of my ideal wedding look (Hair and Make Up) and I hope that Ms.Jeng Sy can make me look like them:

My Wedding Ring Design

Wedding ring or wedding band symbolizes marriage,  a spouse wears it to indicate marital commitment to fidelity or simply a sign of respect and love for couples.

I can say that I'm a very lucky bride (as well as my groom).   We have a very loving and thoughtful relatives and friends who supports and help  us all the way.  My cousin from Italy (Ate Dulce)  called me the other day for my wedding ring update.  She's going to give us our wedding ring as her wedding present.   I almost forgot our wedding ring thanks to her.   I want our wedding ring to be simple and yet elegant.  A simple two-toned with one stone will do.  I also want my wedding ring to match with my engagement ring.

Here are my wedding design idea:

 

My Wed-ganizer : ASUS Eeepc 1005ha

I just bought my new ASUS Eeepc 1005ha Pink notebook, my wedding organizer or "wed-ganizer" as I call it. My first "wed-ganizer" was a lil' cute notepad. Since I now have my notebook, I can easily surf and search for new wedding ideas. I can also post more on my wedding blog.
Before I purchased my notebook, I did a lot of researching and comparing of different notebooks. My first choice was HP mini, it looks really stunning and trendy especially the pink one, but the thing is, it also has a lot of bad users reviews. I wouldn't choose design over a poor performance. After all the comparison I decided to buy my Eeepc 1005ha. What I love about this notebook is that , it can really last up to 8 hours with heavy application. It's not very common for a notebook. Not to mention the seashell design is really eye catching.

6 yrs and 8 mos Annimonsary

Today is our 6 years and 8 months anniversary, Annimonsary as we call it since we celebrate it every single month. We don't actually have a big celebration or something, a simple lunch or dinner will do for this special day of ours. I think that in a relationship even small things should not be forgotten or taken for granted just because you've been together for a long time. Couples should always remember and reminisce the things that they enjoyed doing when they were still on their first months or first year together. For me and my fiance these simple things are very important because those are the things that we do in the beginning of our relationship, where our bond started and last this long.

Yesterday I was craving for Wendy's Bacon Mushroom melt, I told my fiance to just celebrate our "Annimonsary" in Wendy's, so here we are having what I was craving for yesterday...

Size "DOES" matter!!!

Here's a funny story, while I was blogging here at Wendy's , we heard a loud noise coming from the glass window, ( by the way we're seated nearby the glass window) . My fiance thought that there's an earthquake but no, there's this poor mid-40's guy with his wife accidentally bump into this glass mirror, it's actually not funny because the guy was hurt and not to mentioned embarrassed bout what happened. We told the crew to put something on the glass door because it's really dangerous especially for elders and kids. Just after the crew put some sign in the glass door, another accident happened in another glass door just a step away from us, but this time it was a kid, around 2-3 years old craweled his way inside the store, poor kid he was crying. Anyways just sharing our experience.
