everybody seems to be in senti mode today. especially me.
for one, rdm is leaving. its his last day today. all of a sudden the feelings i had when everybody in Globe was leaving came back.
it could also be because of the weather? i dont know. maybe at this time last year i was with the whole fabl group having coffee in Starbucks. or eating pansit in Chowking, or having Buko juice in Pacific Star canteen.
maybe because i heard a song that i have associated with one of the fabl members?
or is it because i just simply miss everybody?
as much as i want to, i have to stay away from coffee. not just because its not good for the baby. but it brings back happy memories which, admit it will take time or whatever to happen again.

my baby on its 12th week
courtesy of babycenter.com
Hello, Ivy!
Your baby's hit the 2-inch mark (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce. Her eyes, which started out on the sides of her head, have moved closer together. Your baby's intestines, which have grown so rapidly that they protruded into the umbilical cord, will start to move into her abdominal cavity. Her kidneys are secreting urine into her bladder. She may have acquired more reflexes, including sucking, and she'll even squirm if you prod your abdomen, though you still won't be able to feel her move for several weeks.

today i learned...
that LOMI is not good when there's kalamansi. it simply doesn't taste good. too bad i really wanted to eat LOMI this afternoon but for strange reasons, i tried to put kalamansi. ive tried Chowling LOMI so many times before but not with kalamansi. now i regret doing it. because i wasnt able to finish the LOMI.

my favorite quote
Life is like having a cup of coffee. You sit by the window, lift the cup and take a sip only to realize that somebody forgot to put sugar. Too lazy to go for it, you somehow struggle through that sugarless cup. Til you discover undissolved sugar crystals sitting at the bottom.
That's how life is, we sometimes forget to make an effort to value what is around us. Look around, maybe the sweetness you are looking for is closer than you think.
Learn to appreciate.
Flash a smile.
Have your coffee.
Make it sweet.
Hershey sent me this thru SMS sometime last year. And until now it's there in my inbox. Coz every now and then especially when i'm feeling so empty and seems everything is not in its right place, i go thru it and when i read this and it sinks in, i'd feel better.

Supplier Ratings- Fit2BeTied & Ralph Alejandrino Photography
Wedding Coordinators
Fit 2 Be Tied
Price: P16,000 (presyong kaibigan…)
Inclusions: Shared Coordination, emcee and unlimited consultation kay Macan J
Rating: 5++
I really love this group. Not just because one of them is a family friend (Macan’s hubby is Mike’s bestman, their daughter Nica is our flower girl) but because sobrang efficient ng services nila. I wont talk about the pre-wedding meetings, and assistance na lang coz baka sabihin dahil kakilala or something. Basta God knows Macan was of great help samin. I’ll just talk about their OTD services. They came in early and they worked hard on that day talaga. I couldn’t trust my wedding to anyone else but them. hindi lang services but yung comforting words, and yung concern, I don’t think kasama sa bayad yun. I know galing sa puso nila yun and they really want us to be happy on our big day.
The way we distributed our souvenirs was not the traditional BM-goes-around-to-pass-the souvenirs on to our guests. We did it ourselves during the pictorial. After picture taking we give the souvenirs personally to our guests para mas warm, mas feel.. hehe… pero we couldn’t have done it without the assistance of our coordinators. They patiently pass on the souvenirs to us for distribution to our guests naman.
Haaay… cant imagine doing it without macan and her group.
Photo and Video
Ralph Alejandrino Photography & Videography
Price: P39,000 (bridal fair price, 2 photographers, 1 videographer)
Inclusions: Prenup pictorial (2 days ‘to… on-location), 1000+ shots, dvd copy (40-minute video), 1 leather album 16x14 (yata…), 2 mini-albums, 1 framed portrait, AVP with free use of projector, screen and his computer, digital sign book
Rating: 5+ for pre-nup, 5+ for OTD services… Output: to follow pa…
During our prenup, walang reklamo si Ralph kahit sobrang layo ng location. And since hindi kami nakapag tight shots sa Caylabne due to restrictions, we scheduled a separate session sa QC Parks and Wildlife, at no extra cost. After 2 days din we got our pictures na. and he gave us everything, not just the best ones. Everybody loved the shots that we had, and the pictures he selected to put in our signbook. It was supposed to be a sign book, but it was so elegant nanghinayang ako pasulatan at mapatakan ng sarsa ng ulam during dinner time… so I just made a separate guestbook and the one from Ralph is in our house as décor hehehe…
On our wedding day, they came early also, and never missed a moment taking pictures left and right, and came up with 2034 shots, to be exact. Nagulat ako when he handed the cd to me days after the wedding, pitong cd! I like the shots. And a friend who’s into photography commented na ok daw talaga yung shots nya (sabi ko kse di ko afford si Jason Magbanua, hehehe… ) I told him I prefer the stolen shots, not much on scripted ones. Pero I also gave him a list of our must haves. He and his wife Tessa are also nice, medyo camera shy kami ni hubby and walang talent sa pagpo-pose pero they made us feel comfortable during the shoots and never complained kahit lagi akong nagta-time out… kakapagod din kse mag smile nang mag smile di ba.. haha… one thing lang, he doesn’t want hmua to put anything on my hubby’s face. Mas maganda daw natural looking, hehehe… ok lang. i agree with him. So I told hmua sa nose na lang para hindi naman makintab…
Another thing lang din is the AVP. Ok lang naman kse hindi naman talaga sya dapat kasama sa package… hiniritan ko lang, pumayag naman hehehe… nga lang hindi sya yung tipong me mga transition pa yung slides. Just the basic presentation lang on his mac. And yung music hindi din nasunod. Which I understand kse sa dami ng binigay kong pictures eh ginawa na lang syang background all throughout the program. So live band na lang yung naging background music.
Im looking forward to seeing our video na nga. Though we havent selected our photos for the album yet. this week... pramis!

first birthday together in our house
mike's bday is May 8, mine is May 1, his falls on a weekday, mine always a holiday. hehe. so we decided to just celebrate it last May 6.
as part of my birthday gifts for us, i did the cooking of most in the menu myself- tacos, menudo, macaroni salad and marinade BBQ and liempo. Ninang Bi, ate eslyn and mike's mom did the pansit. tatay made the relyenong bangus, mike made the grilled tilapia and angie and me did the pamamalengke and pag-slice ng lahat ng ingredients. grabe, effort..
anyways, despite the pagod and puyat (because we did the marinade and mac salad the day before), our first big event in our house was sucessful. there were friends and relatives and even kapitbahay who celebrated with us, and friends' friends, too. hehe..
am so happy to know that our guests liked my menudo, and my tacos was a best seller, too!
thanks to mama for the maja blanca, ate rona and ate cel for the ice cream, ninang bi and ninang jo for the cakes, ethel, ate alma, ninang aly and sir osee for the gifts.
and to all who came, you just dont know how happy we were to have celebrated that special event with you.
