First I am happy with my design, happy with the printing and the paper used, happy with the envelope but not happy with the ribbon lol

We felt that the most difficult thing is to sort our guests.. Its actually easy but the people who are trying to get involve makes it hell... anyway.. up to now we are not decided but we'll leave that all behind and send our invis

My friend, Liean, help us sending the invi, we drive all around Clark and did company hopping to give this invites to our friends..



First we went to Philexel and send out invi to our Site Marketing friends, and Tryel..

Then we went to Ecell to give invi to Je's friends and chilled a little at sb



Then for our final stop we went to Site to give the invi for Niki and Site Online Friends



The next day we sent invis to our relatives - my side - from maglaqui to calara
Then he sent invi to his relatives



We also got mini invations to send out for individual guests.
And for the others, we sent it online :)

I think those of you who read my blog knows how I critic my food and the restaurant and people that serves these food.. lol

We first had our food tasting by Jeng - the caterer - it was setup by our planner, they brought it lunch time and it was packed so we decided to eat it at the canteen of HAU as we were there to visit the Udays. 


We had 4 dish - Chciken Cordonbleu - Mixed Veggies with Pugo - Carbonara - and Roast Beef - I do not eat any of them.. why? well you guys know why.. lol the sauce.. but Je did and he enjoyed it

Chicken Cordonbleu
Its like a chicken rolls with cheesy sauce all over it.. Je said its ok like a 3 star ok

Roast Beef
Je said its also ok, its good but not that special.. like a 4 star ok

Mixed Veggies
Really good! really nice like a 5star +
I ate the pugo :) and i liked it

Carbonara
He said is ok like a 3 star ok.. but he doesnt like pasta so he doesnt really enjoyed it but he thinks all in all the guest will enjoy these food..


Then our planner setup a food tasting at Lomi House


They presented us 4 dishes too, and its a full plate dish.
We are presented with Chicken Teriyaki, Ribs in BBQ Sauce, Carbonara, Veggies with shrimp and a full plate rice also 2 tall glass of red iced tea.

Our bad that we ate dinner already before going here, we did not had the idea it would be a full meal especially the rice.. And one thing that is regretful is that i am sick at the moment and cannot taste at all. But the good news here is I eat most this food and specially there goes may fave! shrimp!!!

Chicken Teriyaki
I ate it though I cant tell if it taste good or not..
Je said he did not like it - he said its ok but not really

Ribs in BBQ Sauce
I ate it and tasted it a little and I think its good
Je said its good but he wished it will be like the ribs of baguio in canto and its not

Carbonara
I dont eat pasta
Je said its not okay, too garlic on it.. so we said if we will get their service they better fix the carbonara or changed it to another pasta dish

Mixed Veggied with shrimp
Je said he likes the veggie of Jeng compare to this
Me.. I dont eat veggie and that sauce but man,, there's shrimp on it..

So we decided shrimp or pugu.. and you know.. I picked shrimp lol
They said Je can have a plate of veggies only - since he is allergic to shrimps - and me will have a full plate of shrimp!

After putting so much thought about it we decided to go with Lomi House.. because of the many perks that is included in their service.

But we will visit this place again and other same food since my taste sense does not function that time.

This is the second time we meet some of the wedding suppliers.

Before the pre wedding shoot.. I manage to organize the location of the shoot..
I picked Orchids Garden as the setting because it has everything that we needed.. from a cozy room to a relaxing pool to a good restaurant.. Luckily they allowed us to use their facility for the whole day and gave us access to the orchidarium :)



Our call time is 7am at Tavern Hotel.. but Je was late!
Anyway, we used the place to shoot for the staycation scenes such us the bedroom and playing video game and working scenes

The place is really nice, its clean and spacious, it got a complete accessory inside such us the towels and bottled water and bath stuff.. The manager of Tavern is really sweet and friendly :)



When we arrived we started with the makeup and hair styling.. Lorenz Concepcion did our make up. He is friendly and his hands smells really good. While Carlos Bryan aka Bubbles did the hair styling.. he is more friendly, makes chika everytime :) One time we met him at the mall and he started combing my hair lol.

Je loves these two, he loves their work more than i love it.. because they made him look fresh and smashingly handsome lol but their talent is really wonderful, they are such a pro - not the ordinary parlorista :)



Our stylist decided to do 4 different looks as we got 4 outfits to wear in the whole filming.. I was just a little surprise with my first look since the scene is waking up in the bed and i got this heavy make up on already.. well i must say its a woke up like this peg lol

And i think they did more than 4 makeups since we always sweat and ruins our makeup but thankfully they aren't pissed with us and just keep make us look good




After the make up and hair prep we starter filming with Direk Gilbert Obispo.. This is the first time we meet with him since he was at Singapore back then and we met his wife instead..

I have this wonderful scene on my head and i got this good idea of how would they look like but the problem is there's no other actors but us.. who are not good in acting lol



We did not work much with the guy he is with.. I dont even know his name..  i think he's there to assist the director.. and ms. sei let me borrowed her flipflops :)

Then my friend Ansherina and Keith arrived..late!
I asked She and Kit to come and help us cover the behind the scenes of the whole filming and they did :)



Anshe is my friend, we've been friends for like 10 years since highschool.. she went here to do the video cover of the behind the scenes..  I even borrowed her white dress and shoes (cant walked straight on it)

Aside from She being my personal assistant we have an assistant that assist us with everything - her name is Krizia - she holds our things and ready our next outfit, she always have tissue with her to offer us when we sweat and when my nose is runny.


Then we got Keith, he is She's boyfriend :) He is a part of Je's grooms men and a friend of ours. he did the photo cover of the behind the scenes and did an amazing job.. I look thinner on his shots lol  I borrowed their camera and he used it to do the photo cover

They followed us anywhere we go and that must be tiring
We decided to have a short break and have lunch.. we asked the squad to come and eat with us at Imang Nene... I was planning to take a photo of the whole squad while we were there but its 2pm and everybody's hungry so we did not bother and attacked the food immediatly


Then we proceed in filming.. we had gained access to shoot inside the orchidarium thanks to our dearest ninang - madam mau - We visited her at the Forum.. this place smells good.. I think this area is the main lobby of Orchidarium..


But it is a great place to do events, we could have booked it for the reception but its far away from our wedding location.. maybe next time :)



He is with his assistant - a funny guy
And our planner, Ms. Robyn and Mr. BJ were also there for support :)

And that's a wrapped! whoo! finally! I can cross this out of my list!

After the video shoot.. we had our photo shoot..The concept is the same as the video shoot
We were so tired with the video shoot that we did not have enough energy to smile and be happy on the camera for the photo shoot.. so out of 600+ photos I only picked 30 :( lol

But look at the amazing artistic photo, our photographer captured! so good! No edits!

Apart from the main concept we added some other elements on the photoshoot.. we had ice cream and after 5mins i knew it was a bad idea lol.. i ice cream just melts.. and the shots of us eating ice cream is ugly in every way.
