One Month Old

My blog is now officially one month old!! Wow, ang bilis.. I never thought I could post this much within a months time..

So, how am I after a month? Hmm.. nothing changed that much. We're still TTC after my 2nd round of Clomid.. I'm still not losing hope..

Anyway, how was my weekend? We spent Saturday night at Spiral for a "send-off" dinner kasi some of us are going abroad for vacation of some sort. Kami ni Paolo sa US, Monette and Pat will be going to Europe for their honeymoon and Katz will be in Boston for an immersion or something. We'll see each other again after April 20 na. It was also Benjo's birthday and he brought along his new toy.. a brand new Canon DSLR with the lens care of his Kuya Lem (Karl of Fotogra Weddings). Here are some pics from our dinner:

Obviously enjoying our food..

Paolo loves this shot.. Pang ad daw! Haha!

A "surprise kiss" shot.. Seriously, nobody thought I'd do this kasi I was just passing by on my way to the washroom

My Hand.. paying for the overly-priced drink!

Lastly, my solo shot.. Semi-candid yan! Hahaha!!

The food was great especially the desserts. Nothing new though. I wish they have tepanyaki ice cream like the ones at Heat and Seven Corners. Lugi na ko sa buffet coz I have a small appetite na. We also noticed that their prices increased na. Before we would only pay around P1,800 for 2 (we have discount/membership card) pero now, its almost P2,200 plus drinks. Pero sulit pa din kasi masaya naman si hubby.. hehe..

I am sneaking some blog time while at work.. hehe.. Was able to finish my monthly reports from January to February which is not due until March 15. So that means, I am now free for the whole week! Woohoo!! More time to blog hop and check out some shopping sites.




Anyway, I attended the wedding of Monette and Pat last Saturday at National Shrine in Makati and Makati Shang for the reception. I am part of their entourage as their cord sponsor. Their wedding was a blast! Ang saya to watch them perform a very hip (hop?!!) dance number. Syempre they had to change their shoes to be more comfy and more appropriate for the dance number. Monette was in a pair of pink Chuck Taylors while Pat was I think in a white one..




And syempre, there were so many "kodakan" moments. I must admit, my friends and I are camera addicts so we always have our pictures taken especially on occasions like these where we're all almost complete.

So here are some pictures of the wedding:

Ang nice ng dress namin noh.. Gowns were made by Frederick Peralta. My hair and make up by Boots Salon.

Me and Paolo outside the church after the ceremony. This time, I'm wearing a shrug that came with the gown.

The Girls (with a boy.. hehe)

After the reception. Hanging out at the third floor smoking area of Makati Shang. Already tied my hair since it was kinda hot outside. Oily na din ako here but I love this shot!

For more photos, check this out

One side kwento muna before I end this post. I had my hair and make up done at Boots Salon inside the G Spa in Sgt. Esguerra QC. It was my first time to experience threadin on my eybrows and upper lip. Grabe, ang sakit pala! Sa eyebrows medyo bearable but yung upper lips, shet! ang sakit talaga. I was teary eyed the whole time they were threading it. And super tagal ko din sa parlor. It took me almost 3 hours! I thought nga I'll be late for the church but buti na lang, they started around 3:30pm instead of 3pm.

So there, that's how my weekend went. Time to update my other blog..

Quirky Habits

Wow, my first ever tag. Thanks Leah

The rules: Link to the person that tagged you. Post the rules on your blog. Share six un-important things/habits/quirks about your self. Tag 6 random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs. Let these random people know that they are tagged by leaving comments in their blog. Let your tagger know when your entry is up.

Six Random unimportant things/habits/quirks about myself:
1) I need to fix our bed sheet before I sleep. It has to be super pantay, no crumples and loose ends. Much like how a hotel bed feels like.
2) I have to go to the bathroom to pee at least twice before I go to sleep otherwise I will wake up in the middle of the night for another trip to the bathroom.
3) I remove all my jewelries and watch as soon as I get home
4) During weekdays, I can go out of our house (going to work) with my hair still dripping wet. I'm a low maintenance girl..
5) When I buy my toiletries and other groceries, I always end up buying chocolates that are in the shelves by the counter.
6) I have 3 slippers in the house. One for the bedroom, one for the bathroom and one for around the house.

Since I'm new to this blog community.. I will tag some random people:
Nikki, Kitts, Kelly, Kathycot, Joey, Jane

Happy, Excited, Nervous, Sad

HAPPY
Already paid for our airline tickets for our US trip. We're leaving on March 25 but might move it earlier to Marh 23. Gulo di ba? hehe.. but for me, the earlier, the better. Kung pwede nga lang sa holy week na eh kasi ganun din yun di ba.. but we have to follow a schedule kasi.

EXCITED
Since we're all set for our US trip, I'm soooooo excited to go shopping. I wanna see if I could afford some pieces from Kitson since I always watch it on E! News. Then for my cheap thrills: Forever21 and Wetseal. I'm also looking forward to H&M and Nordstrom Rack. And for the most exciting shopping experience, OUTLET STORES for brands like Ralph Lauren, Coach, Nine West just to name a few.


NERVOUS
Could this be it??.... Are these the signs??...

These are just some of the questions that are in my mind. I won't divulge any info yet since baka maudlot but I really hope this one is for real na.

SAD
Got an email from Monette to break the news to us that Jill will be moving from Singapore to Canada. She's going to be so so far away. Unlike when she was still in Singapore where sometimes she would spend the long weekend here whenever she gets a break from work. Now, it'll be longer, harder and more expensive for her to come home. But I'm still happy for her coz that was what she always wanted (according to her email). So now, we're preparing for her despedida this Sunday.

Sobrang mixed emotions ako today....
