Birthday ni LJ!

As obvious as what this blog’s title imply, 

today is indeed the natal day of... 

that (once) young, uber smart and witty kid from Subic, 

my awesome travel companion,

the best wedding deal closer on the planet,  

the ultimate Backstreet boys fan, 

the strongest porter in the universe, and 

my most fabulously dressed partner in crime 

*high five!* 

Maligayang Kaarawan Mylsy! 

I hope that your birthday is Legen —— wait for it, 

…

The Week of Chaos

Today marks the 5 month countdown to our wedding day, and this past week, the whole thing definitely bordered on crazy! We've tried our best to be cool, calm and collected, but I guess someone thought we should have some moments of insanity thrown into the mix. 


In our next posts we will share more about our week, the issues and chaos, the little celebrations and wonderful surprises, but for this particular post, we would like to honor our dearest friends who have helped keep our sanity in check. 


We've tried our best to keep the stress under wraps, manage it as much as we could. For the most part, I think we've succeeded, but there are just days or this past week in particular that can just push you over the edge. We were lucky to be surrounded by people that we trust, that are always there for us, and most of all understands and supports us. 


To Gina, Rozen, Alou/Jake, Marc, Ishy and Jen
We thank you for listening, for picking up the phone to hear our shallow sob stories. We thank you for empathizing, for replying to our messages, for making us feel that we are still normal, and sila ang baliw, LOL! We thank you for the heartfelt advice, for telling us the truth and not just telling us what we wanted to hear. Most of all we thank you for the laughter, that simplest gift of distraction that kept us from going insane. 


I won't say that all of the issues were already resolved, but after this difficult week, both LJ and I agreed, that somehow a supreme being is still taking care of us, and somehow, he sent you guys to make sure we stay strong.


152 more days of this, and then we can all relax, aja!

Pins and Darts

We are definitely not a 'sporty' couple, but every once in a while there is that opportunity to show that we can be, or on bad day, remind us that we should just stay away from it, haha! Last Saturday was one of those chances.

Spiderman was such a blockbuster hit amongst Pinoys that the earliest decent seats we could reserve was for 11pm. The rest of the gang stared at us when we announced that we have a good 5 hours to loiter! So what can you do with such a long wait time? We were in Eastwood after all.

Buffet dinner? Not really that hungry

Shopping? Not practical

We wanted to burn the hours but not the cash so we landed at Paeng's Bowl and Billiards Room for some fun indoor games – Bowling and Darts! We played a round of Bowling and an hour of Darts and we only spent – Php 225/each!

Fruity Tutti, Yum!

Flower boquets will always be a classic, but if you are feeling rebelliously healthy then why not try fruit arrangements! No, we are not just talking about the regular fruit baskets, we are referring to sliced fruits arranged to perfection by FruiQuet (froo-kei).

“FruiQuet™, short for “fruit bouquet,” is a concept borne out of a passion to offer Filipinos here, and even those abroad, a unique alternative to the usual gifts sent to loved ones or given to close family members and friends.” - FruiQuet.com

We noticed their store while walking around the Eastwood Mall, and our friends joked that since we'll have an alternative wedding cake, might as well consider this as an alternative bouquet for my entourage. I gave the pictures a closer look and they actually looked interesting so I went inside to learn more.
