Christmas @ Singapore

It was the day before Christmas and I don’t really feel like celebrating. One reason is because I’m not in the Philippines to celebrate it with Anne and my family. Another reason is, I was literally alone here in our house. My housemates already went to Philippines to celebrate the yuletide season there. Christmas is a holiday here in Singapore but aside from not having to go to work, there is really nothing special about this day here. Thanks to my fiancé Anne, she encourage me to have my Noche Buena even if I only have my self to celebrate it with. Thanks also to the computer technology, I have Anne as my dinner date.
The idea of cooking something for the noche Buena really excites me. I actually love cooking, I just need someone to teach me the proper way to do it. I really havent tried cooking at home in the Philippines but I certainly believe that its not too late for me to catch up. =)

Ok, to cut the story short, I decided to cook something for the Christmas eve. I asked Anne on the step by step procedure on how to make spaghetti since my fiancé is a certified pasta guru. I remember the day she cooked baked mac for me which we brought in our taal volcano adventure and as I tasted it, I told myself that she’s the one who will stand beside me on my wedding day. ;)

After getting the tips, I immediately went to the grocery to buy the ingredients. I found a ready made spaghetti sauce but I didn’t bought it because my cyber cooking lesson with Anne will be wasted if I will buy that one. And of course, I want to impress her and prove to her that I will not only be a good husband to her, but a good cook as well.. =)

So after giving everything I got in front of the stove, I have a wonderful noche Buena experience! I believe that Christmas is truly in our hearts of every Christians and we should not based it from other people or from situations around us. Happy or sad, Christmas will always be Christmas. We should celebrate the true meaning of this day, and that is the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and that God truly loves each and every one of us!

Merry Christmas to everyone. Bon Appetit!

Bridal Shower 2


Yes! I had another bridal shower sponsored by JPHIL IT girls. I thought the party was for Ms. Ana who will take a maternity leave starting Monday. They reserved and decorated the Multi-purpose room at the 10F of our building. I was surprised when I saw the banner by the door with my name. Very well planned! When we arrived, packed lunch from Max's were already waiting for us. They also prepared games for the program.


First game was to guess the correct word out of the jumbled letters. Of course all words were related to weddings.


Second was the "Dress-A-Bride" game. I've already read the mechanics of this game before and I thought to myself that it would be difficult to do. Using a material as delicate as a tissue roll must give the players a tough time. But they proved me wrong! I salute these girls for being so creative! I was amazed at the tissue-gowns they did!





I'm supposed to choose one winner between them, I declared both teams winners!

Opening of gifts have always been a favorite activity of mine. :D


Photo-opps!

Kudos to all of you for a very memorable shower! I had so much fun especially with the games.

My Bridal Shower

Last night my friends from Fujitsu threw me a surprise bridal shower. They made it seem like we’re having a despedida for my friend Mitzi for she’s leaving for Singapore by the end of the week. At first, I was getting a little suspicious because my friends were acting a bit strange. First and fore most, I’m intrigued why would she throw a despedida party at her condo, for usually we just get together at a resto. She told me that she’s saving her moolah for an apartment in SG. But when I looked at the food she was preparing, it doesn’t seem she’s saving at all. But I let it go. Second, Leah, my MOH, was very eager to attend the party. She even suggested to just meet up at the venue when usually we would first meet then just go to any party together. Again, I let it go. I never found any signs from Shirley (Chord Sponsor). She’s acting very cool and natural the moment I picked her up from her home and all the way to Mitzi’s unit.



They rented the function room beside the pool area. This is a very interesting surprise. It’s not like when you open the door and find all your friends in the room kind of surprise. It’s having a despedida dinner and having your friend who just arrived hand you a bridal shower gift. Hahaha! That’s actually what happened. We were feasting over Café Breton’s crepes and KR’s chicken and some cocktails when Sheila and Beth arrived. The moment they arrived, Sheila started talking about bridal showers and immediately approached me to hand her gift! I was so surprised! I didn’t know what to say for she just revealed the surprise! Hehe..


So there, I already knew that there will be a bridal shower for me that night. So since the ice was broken, they started the program already. Maan, our emcee, was our host for the night. I thought that we will start off with a program for Mitzi. I even got a high chair for her. Needless that I know that the shower is about to start. They had me answer series of questions that JayR pre-answered. I am supposed to answer the same answer that he did. For every mistake I make, I need to drink vodka or strip! Of course I chose the former. I don’t have enough clothes on me to strip. And for every correct answer, I would open a gift!



Before we started the program, I already had a glass of Baileys and wine. So during the third or fifth question, I can’t think straight.



I argued that I’d still have to drive so they would change the consequence. I was surprised that they even prepared an over night clothes for me with the help of my brother. Very sneaky!!



At the end of the game, they read to me a letter sent by JayR. So sweet! There’s also a game of balloon blowing which Mitzi won. I wasn’t able to blow mine for I’m still tipsy over vodka. At the end of the night, they showed me a video which Shirley did. It was so touching! I really had a blast! Thank you girls for a wonderful and memorable night! I love you all! Mwah!

Fried Fish Perfected

Last week, i bought two fish (tilapia) in a nearby market. Eversince I was assigned on night shift (almost a month now), sometimes looking for a place to have my dinner has been a hard task for me. Its hard to look for an eating place at 11 o'clock in the evening. I havent tried cooking fish before so this one is a new challenging experience for me. When I cooked the first tilapia, it was a total disaster. After my first attempt, the tilapia goes skinless, with its head almost detached from its body. what a poor sight. hehehe. After that grueling experience, I consulted this to Anne, my cooking guru, and she gave me some insights on how to do it properly. So last night, after taking into account all the things she said to me, I now present to you my perfect fried tilapia.

Bon Appetit!

W@W Xmas Party 2007

The very first christmas party I attended this year was sponsored by W@W. It's an annual event wherein the Top 10 Wedding Suppliers chosen by the W@W community were presented and awarded. It's an event where suppliers and client may mingle casually. There were lots of food sponsored by Josiah's. Mini cakes and Cupcakes are everywhere! Freebies are overflowing! I was able to bring home a gift certificate of a free 10inch cake from Alex Franco! Photo booths are also stationed in certain areas. I loved fabfoto by Nelwin Uy better than the other booths. Along with the booth comes a lot of props you could use for the shoot. I'd love to have them for our reception, but I felt we had too much expenses already. We'll get by without it.

This year, they first launched a free pre-nuptial shoots with a lot of photographers in the afternoon. Each couple were also made up by a lot of Hair-and-Makeup sponsors. Too bad I had to skip this for JayR can't obviously make the party. I came together with the other "Single"-brides - Bhe, Marz, and Becca. Lorine also joined us at the photo booths. I'm looking forward to next year's party when I wish JayR and I could join the prenups. Here are some of the photos we got.






Our Prenup picture made it to the Wall of W@Wies!

Wedding Updatessssss!!!

This is truly an update that is long over due. I became twice as busy with the wedding preparations as November rapidly approached. Below is a summary of what I did for the past four weeks.

1. First Fitting

I had my fitting during the last week of October. Our coordinator Nina accompanied me. I fitted only the lining and it fit me just right. Surprisingly, I didn’t feel any weird emotion inside me. I just don’t know when I fit it the next time. My good friend Shirley(Chord Sponsor) saw my gown with lace and some bead works already when she went to Ms. Minette for her fitting. She said it was beautiful. I’m glad she liked it. I hope I would look good in it. I will not post pictures during my fitting to keep the suspense. I’m leaving you guys with a shot of the lace that will be used on my gown.




2. Divisoria Trip

Day one of November marked the day I started to feel the stress of handling the leg work of wedding preparations alone. Three weekends of November has passed and I (with my mother) didn’t miss one weekend that I didn’t scour the streets of Divisoria. The first time I went there, I bought my kissing bells and some items I will use in presenting our gifts to our principal sponsors. With Christmas peeking just around the corner, traffic is not a surprise, not to mention the difficulty of finding a parking space. The next trip was when we met my Ninong in Binondo for our invitation. Since Divisoria is just a block away, we walked our way to 168 Mall for a short shopping spree. Last weekend, I accompanied my MOH, Leah to buy some beads she needs for the necklace she is doing for me - I already saw the necklace and I love it! I’d probably miss Divisoria after our wedding. Hahaha!

3. Invitation

Since my Ninong will take care of the printing of our invites, we just bought paper materials from Recto. I know that finding the most trustworthy people in the area is the key to doing a good business in that area and I thought I found one. I indeed got a very cheap price for the materials of our invites. I never thought that the cheap price comes with a huge amount of headache. Every time I’d pick up the materials on an agreed date, it was always not available. I can’t believe I have to scare my contact person that I’d report her to the police if my materials won’t be ready the next time I pick it up before she ACTUALLY delivered. It took me quite a number of trips to Recto before I could cross this out of my list.

4. Souvenirs

I finally received the souvenirs I ordered online from Bangkok. Out of the items sent to me, I’m glad only one was broken. I was holding my breath every time I would grab one souvenir to check its state. I’ve also already bought the souvenirs for our female principal sponsors. I have yet to buy our souvenirs for the male principal sponsors. The tokens for our entourage members have also been taken care of. The only thing pending is the packaging of our souvenirs.

Surprisingly, this box arrived safely to the Philippines even without an address!



5. Barong Fabric

Last Sunday, Mang Rey arrived at our house at 6:30am to show me his barong fabrics for JayR’s barong. Since JayR will arrive only a week before our wedding, we need to find a tailor who can do barongs fast and good. Mang Rey is an answered prayer. There had been quite a number of posts about him at W@W but it was actually Ms. Minette, my couture who pushed me to give him a call. So I did. He was such a blessing to us for though he comes from Lumban, Laguna, he does home service even in Manila. Another convenient supplier for brides! Hooray! As I’ve said over and over, I don’t see much difference among different designs of Barong. Even my mother who
helped me pick the designs was overwhelmed with the many fabrics he brought.



6. AVP Projector and Screen

Dennis Sy was recommended to me by our videographer, Threelogy. We’ll have a live feedback of our guests in our reception. To save me the hassle of ensuring that our projector supplier has all the cables or equipment needed I booked them instantly. I paid the down payment thru bank transfer online while the contract was sent to and fro via fax. This was indeed a great help for someone who have all upcoming weekend full with other activities. I’m also planning to get their sound system to lessen the number of suppliers we need to coordinate. Plus the fact, that we’ll have less tummy to fill. :D

Nevertheless, all the stress that I gained from the above activities, it was all swept away by the works of no other than my love, JayR. Last week, he surprised me with a bouquet of red roses. It was really surprising. I thought I would just have a normal day that day until after a meeting, there lay on my desk the bouquet of roses. At that instant, I wanted to fly to Singapore to hug and kiss him! Though I do the leg work alone, JayR is trying his best to show his support and ease my stress. Here is one line he told me that kept me going and going. ”Don’t worry love, na mahirapan ka ngayon, after ng wedding natin I’ll make sure na hindi ka na mahihirapan”. That says it all. My sacrifice is worth every bit of it! I’m definitely marrying the perfect man for me. Love you so much love!

Our First Wedding Gift



Today, we received our first wedding gift! It's nothing close to fancy, but as long as it came from the heart we would forever be grateful for it. Who would have thought that the first wedding gift we'll receive will actually come from a supplier. Yes, Joni Salcedo, our supplier for our gifts to our sponsors gave this wonderful lamp to us as her wedding gift to us. It's so sweet of her to do this kind of gesture. For those who are still looking for gift ideas, Joni owns a stall in Pinoy na Pinoy corner in Festival Mall, Alabang. Thanks Joni for wishing us well!

Wedding Update: Bridal Car

Another task done! Finally, we booked our bridal car. Honestly, I didn't mind much about the bridal car for we'll only use it for just a short period of time. Of course, if given a choice, I would want a vintage car. But with all the expenses smacked right at our faces, I'm ok with just a simple car.

Among the bridal car companies I emailed, I only got a response from Don Robert's Bridal Cars. After the rates were sent to us, I sent the link to JayR for selection. I was eyeing the Bug Eye Benz but JayR was set to get the 2006 Chrysler. I argued that it costs too much. I was so touched when he said that he wants the best car for his bride! My heart almost melted with joy! How sweet can my future hubby be! Now with a choice to get a car more than the budget I had in mind, I suggested to get the Jaguar Mark V which costs the same as the Chrysler. I just thought that the Chrysler lacks drama and that it's just a little bigger than a typical car. Aside from the Jaguar, I fell in love with the look of the 1932 Studebaker. Actually, I would love to have the Studebaker rather than the Jaguar. Besides that it costs less than the other cars, I love how vintage it looks! With that car, it'll be one element of our wedding pictures! JayR's just concern that it's not actually a white car. I don't mind at all. I don't think there's a rule that bridal cars should be white.

I called Don Roberts to check the availability of the Jaguar and the Studebaker. Unfortunately the Jaguar is already booked on our wedding day and FORTUNATELY the Studebaker is still available!! Hooray! I immediately asked him to reserve the date for us. So now, let me present to you our bridal car! A 1932 Studebaker!

The Perspective View.



The Front View



The Back View



I love how the door opens opposite the usual car does.



Since our bridal car is very vintage, we hope it can surpass the traffic in Pasig. Don Robert assured us that it will!

The Correct Wedding Kiss

With just two months to go, all major stuffs are settled. It's time to move on with the details. I guess it's now time to put some thoughts on our wedding kiss. I always see this guideline in w@w but chose to disregard it for I felt it's still too early to dwell on. Too bad we'll only have one week to practice it. We'll probably study the basics first then go on with the practical when JayR arrived. :D

Wedding Update: Fitting Schedule

Early this afternoon, I received a text message from Minette, my couture, informing me that i could fit my gown anytime I want. I’ve always been wondering how my wedding gown is progressing. But I try to keep that off my mind until I’m ready to actually fit it. I’m still working on losing more weight and inches off me. After reading her message, I’m both happy and nervous. I immediately forwarded it to JayR. I’m so excited! I think I became teary eyed for a second then! Hehe.. The thought of actually wearing the white gown I will wear on our wedding day came flooding my mind. Is this really how it feels? It’s just a text message but the power it had on me was overwhelming. What more when that special moment comes that I will actually wear my gown! Only waterproof makeup for me please! Hahaha!

Aside from the excitement I felt, I felt nervous as well. Questions like “Will it fit me?”, “Will I look good in it?”, “Will my chosen design complement my body?”, etc. slowly crept my mind. Anyhow, this powerful text message pushed me to work out even harder and meet my goal. It took me a while to compose myself and put my concentration back to work. :D

Yes friends, I’m scheduled to finally fit my gown on Saturday! Wish me luck! :D

Wedding Update: On Choreographer

Yesterday, I went to Weddings, Get, Set, Go..a bridal fair in Rockwell with my good friend who’s also getting married next year. This is the first bridal fair I attended where the venue is not Megamall! This is also the first bridal fair I attended without JayR with me. Since we’ve booked most of the suppliers already, I’m on the lookout for bridal cars and some other minor suppliers we might need. Too bad not much bridal cars are on exhibit.

However, we did not go home disappointed. I found Elaine Francisco-Ledesma, a florist turned choreographer. I found her package very affordable. Her package includes three (3) sessions, with a max of 3 hours per session. It’s a lot cheaper than the previous inquiry I did on one dance studio in Alabang. I had Nina, our coordinator, book her today at the bridal fair to avail the discount she offers since I can’t go back today. They belong to the same group of wedding suppliers so dealing with her is easier. I’ve always loved dancing ever since I was a kid. My parents enrolled me to Ballet and Hawaiian dance classes during my growing up years. I took beginner and advance ballroom dance classes in college. And currently, I love and join the dance classes in Fitness First. Don’t get me wrong though. I’m NOT nor as close to being a professional dancer! Hahaha! And just like most of the regular guys out there, JayR don’t bother much about dancing. I remembered him telling me that his only experience in professional dancing is during their foundation activities in High School. Hmmnn.. Maybe Elaine will have a tough time during our practice. Hahaha! Elaine however told me otherwise. She loved to challenge herself to teach the grooms dance! Since JayR will arrive only one week before our wedding, I asked Nina to book three consecutive days with Elaine for our practice. This is an exemption for she normally schedules the sessions three weeks before the wedding. I just wish we don’t spoil our first dance.

I’ve always wanted to have a special dance number for our guests especially to our overseas guests. So to all our “Guest Readers” out there, ABANGAN!!!

Wedding Update: On Cakes

Last Thursday I met my very good friend, Faith in Makati to discuss the wedding cake she'll do for me. I have so much trust in her that she can provide us a very good cake. I did not ask her to do this favor so I could get a huge discount on cakes but I want her to do something special for us on our wedding day! My mother even wondered why I keep our cake on a budget when I asked for a grand cake on my debut. The reason is I want our cake to have a personal touch. (I’m talking in the first person here for JayR left all the decisions on this area to me. Of course, I still solicit his approval before I make any final decision.) I know that she won't let us down. ;) Talk about pressure! Hahaha! Here is the picture of the cake I found in the net for the inspiration of the cake I have in mind.


I want a tiered cake, maybe 3 layers or 5 layers. I’m not sure yet. Our cake will be one of the highlight in our reception and I want it to be simple yet elegant. She proposed a cake surrounded by barquillos with arranged slices of fruits on top in clear gelatin. If you still can’t visualize it, think crema de fruta. I love the idea but I feared that the first thought my guests will get when the see it is the color brown. The guests won’t take a closer look at it hence they won’t see the colors of the fruits on top of each layer. She proposed to add ribbons around it to break the brown monotone. This may be one option but she wanted to do more research on the perfect cake that I wanted. I love this girl! Hehe.

Mission Singapore

It's been quite a while since my last post on our blog. For me, its really hard to work on something when your heart and mind are not into it. Many times I tried to think of something to write in here but it seems my thoughts are not with me. I guess I left it with my fiance back there in the Philippines.. :D

It was exactly 3 weeks since I've been here in Singapore and yet until now, I still feel like I just arrived yesterday. I have made lots of adjustments already and yet there are still lots of adjustments which I need to undertake. To begin with, this is my first time to live by myself, not literally living alone but living away from home. Even during my college years, in which going to school back and forth took me 5 hours of stressful travel, I still opted not to stay in apartments or dormitories. The reason behind is that I dont want to look after my own food, clothes and other stuff. In short, I dont want to do those household chores, hehe. But here in Singapore, I have no choice, I need to do those things which I dont want to do at home. Here, I need to regularly clean my room, wash and iron my clothes, do the grocery, etc.. But cooking is just too much for me. As much as I have wanted to cook delightful dishes here, my cooking powers are just limited to instant noodles and fried dishes. Good thing cooking is one of Anne's many expertise, all I have to do is to wait for the time that she will be here with me.. :D And since I dont know how to cook, I have no choice but to be adventurous with some of the local foods here in which I find to be very challenging task for my taste buds.

On the brighter side, there are also lots of positive adjustments. From 1 1/2 hours travel time from our house to my previous office in Makati, here it was reduced to 40 mins or less. It's less traffic here and less pollution. The surroundings are very clean and the people here are very disciplined, especially my fellow pinoys. Although Philippines and Singapore are within the same time zone, it seems that Phils is ahead by 2 hours. 7pm here is just like 5pm in the Phils. so when I arrived home from work, I feel like I still have lots of time to do some household chores.

I'm really grateful to God for giving me the opportunity to go and work here in Singapore. Actually, early this year while Anne and I started preparing for our wedding, going and settling in Singapore was one of our original and major plan. Although during that time, we have no idea yet on how we can accomplish this target but we never worried because we believe God will help us. And Im very thankful that God answered our prayers and that everything are going smoothly as to what we have planned. He magnificently paved the way for me and cleared all the obstacles that might hinder me from going here in Singapore. Until now, I can clearly picture out how He powerfully helped me through the course of my resignation with my previous employer and also how He reminded me, through Anne's brother and his wife, about my status as a DOST scholar,which may lead to a big problem in the Bureau of Immigration if not taken care of immediately.

My life here in Singapore is not a walk in the park for me, since I do a lot of adjustments and sacrifices not to mention doing lots of things which I don’t normally do back in the Phils. But I believe God is just giving me enough time to practice doing these sort kind of things, as a preparation for the next chapter of my life - married life, in which no one will carry out these things for us, but ourselves. At least Anne can be assured that I can help her in doing those household chores. :D

God is really good, and He is good all the time!

Wedding Update: Makati Sports Club

This post is long overdue. A couple of weeks ago, we, together with our event stylist Rey of Freshcuts went to Makati Sports Club for an ocular inspection of the reception venue. JayR and I were both present to assist Rey. It was a good decision to accompany him for we were able to give him some ideas we want done for our reception. Here are some shots we took.

The Entrance from outside POV


The Entrance from inside POV



The Stage, this is where The Couple’s table will be. The string ensemble will be placed at our left and the projector screen at our right.


The Left side of the ballroom. We’ll place the projector screen at this corner.


The Back side of the ballroom. This is where the buffet set up will be. We might opt to remove the divider and make use of the connecting room to give more room for our guests.



Rey will put drapings to accentuate the ceiling. We're just waiting for his lights requirements before we can make a deal with our lights and sounds system supplier.

Wedding Update: Recto Trip

Yesterday, we scoured Recto to find some materials for our invitation. The invitation I had in mind was another inspiration from Aylee. It will be a 7”x 7” invite. The most difficult part in creating the invitation was making the pochette. I am able to create a sample pochette using an ordinary bond paper but the output was smaller than what I intended for our printer can only do so much. We won’t have any problem with the printing of our invites for my Ninong who owns a printing press will take care of it. The main objective of my trip was to look for ready-made pochettes.

Since JayR is not here, I had my mother accompany me. We parked the car at her dormitory (still accepts bed spacer btw, hehe..) near UST and just walked our way to Recto. It really is indeed a haven of invitation suppliers. I did not want us to inquire to every stall for I don’t want to be overwhelmed with a lot of questions and sell talks. The first stall we went to were just small. The lady had me check out their sample of invitations compiled in a big book. I did not bother to get to the fifth page for their samples are torn already and the pages are starting to deteriorate. We continued to walk and look around. The next stall we went to were just like any other typical stall there, but the lady manning it projects a good aura enough to make me sit and talk. For me, that’s important. I felt the need to find the most trustworthy person for the competition in that area is high. She was able to show me the right invitation I was looking for with just some minor modification. Finding the right color was a tough one. They had limited samples in the shade of orange. I would want our invitation to look elegant, so I decided to just go for Copper. It still had a light touch of burnt orange but with more gold feel with it. She also supplies pochettes only but at this point, I’m close to having our entire invitation made in Recto. She quoted me a very cheap price for the production of the entire invitation. Of course I still have fear inside me that the output may not be that good. There are a lot of stories going around that the output is just so-so. These are some things I don’t want to take risk for our invitation will be the first feel our guests will get of our wedding. I don’t want to be very intricate with it for it will just be ignored if not thrown by some of our guests after the wedding. Here are the sample shots of the invite I had my eye on.

This is the pochette I was looking for but I want the flaps to overlap and the tip to be rounded.



I loved the border of the inserts. I'm sure my Ninong can do just that.



The next stall we went to were a lot bigger than the previous stalls. The couple who owned the shop was very persistent. I’m a bit grateful to them for they presented me a lot of options. Aside from getting ready made pochettes, they suggested I just buy the plain sheets and have my Ninong print on it. Like the other, they also quoted me a very cheap price for my entire invitation, though it would still be cheaper for us if I had my Ninong do the printing. It is at this time I wished I had JayR with me. It’s hard to decide on the spot without consulting him. Guess I should talk to my Ninong first before I purchase anything! At least I had some ideas now. I can walk around Recto confident enough to haggle. :D

Wedding Update: Prenup at Clearwater (Final)

Here are more raw pictures from our prenup shoot taken in Clearwater. Looking ahead, we will have a hard time selecting 25 shots out of almost 600 shots for our guest album. Maybe we'll have more than one set of album just to accomodate all! :D









Boats in Clearwater cost P450 per hour. We are lucky enough that the staff who manned the area did not charge us for the use of the boats! Maybe he had fun watching us (err JayR lang pala) struggle with it! hahaha! The following shots will give a shock to my close friends for sure! hehe..





I loved how Reiman did my eye make up. It still looked great even after 6 hours from the time he did my makeup even without a retouch.





For the remaining two shots, no wonder i got sick for a week! hahahha!




We'd like to salute Zandro of Smartshot for a job well done and to Reiman for making me look good!
