*medyo ngarag looking lang ako dyan coz of the preps stress.. hehe

let this be our prayer...

I pray you’ll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don’t know
Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe
La luce che to dai
I pray we’ll find your light
Nel cuore restero
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarchi che
When stars go out each night
L’eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c’e
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe.
Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternita
La forza che ci dai
We ask that life be kind
E’il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amore
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a se
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child
Needs to find a place,
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe
E la fede cheHai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera

the door to a brighter future...

some more pre-nup shots by Ralph A.

so sad hindi mashadong friendly sakin si blogger (multiple uploading) and wedding announcer nowadays... so i'll try to post some pics whenever im allowed by them lang... *sigh*

save the date for september...

i used one 'kakaibang' shot from our pre-nup pictorial this time. i like this picture. it symbolizes our dreams, our hopes and our excitement, commitment, and our promise before God to really be together as we start our journey ahead.

there's also one thing that comes to my mind when i saw this picture to be used in our std- after the long wait (symbolized by the long aisle; imagine 12 or 13 years!) finally we are seeing and we are reaching the altar already- hehehe :)

Pre-nup Pictorial by Ralph Alejandrino

pre-nup pictorial (plus trial make up)

Our photographer is Ralph Alejandrino and our make up artist is Michael Bawa.

These are some shots taken by Macan during our pre-nup pictorial in Baclaran and supposed to be in Caylabne Bay Resort. We were able to do it in Baclaran with permission from the admin but in Caylabne, no comments.. hehehe... I just wished they were accommodating to their guests, and present and future clients.

Anyways, instead of that resort, where there was no sunset view when we later found out, we went to something called Marine Bay (not sure of the exact name) and there we found what we were looking for... a sunset background for our pictures by the bay. And were also able to take some shots on the way down, overlooking the beach.

(more photos c/o Ralph to follow...)

and for the bride... secret muna :)

busy once again!

mike is coming home from Germany this weekend... he was away for three weeks, and i on the other hand, got some rest from all these stressful (but fun and much loved) wedding preparations. although we've already finalized the invitation design by QP and i have also submitted the final list, and we're now into reviewing/checking the mock-up.

as soon as he gets home on sunday, we will resume with our divi trips, schedule/calendars, meeting with suppliers and some teeny weeny details including gift tags and what nots.

and so this will be our schedule for the next few weeks... or for the rest of September rather.

sept 10- trip to Divisoria with Kathy for the souvenirs/favors
sept 12- prenuptial pictorial in Caylabne Bay (postponed due to photog's and mike's trips); TMU with Michael Bawa
sept 16- to Pampanga to visit our principal sponsors
sept 17- gown measurement by Jhune Marcelino (yah, we changed couturier because Mr Marcelino was able to give us better deals!)
sept 23 to 24- CTK pre-wedding seminar (gosh... this is it!)
... and more and more discussions in between and probably a visit to some more principal sponsors and again, Eventi.

ang bilis ng panahon. we're already in BER months. malapit na din ang Christmas... my most favorite time of the year.
