"At the Beginning"

We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected
What you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Never dreaming
How our dreams would come true
Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on....
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna going
Love is river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you.

The Dance...

Who would ever thought that we will end up together? i guess no one,but only God knows... so thats why i am sooo thankful to God for giving arman to my life. Galing ni God tlaga! :)

He was just once a stranger,a classmate, just one of my boy friends in the group,a chatmate ( yeah we do chat before during school vacation ) and now my husband...

When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

Ika nga ni gaze: kaya napasayaw ng maaga.

Our first dance: Arman was part of my 18th Roses. He was my 12th rose. and guess what baliktadin yung no. its 21, and we got married on 21st. :D meant to be tlga. hehehe

Our Last Dance: Though he wasnt my first dance but im a super happy that he was my last dance...The one who i will dance forever with :)

:)

B&W Moments...

Some black and white moments taken by our Back-up photog but full of meanings :)

My moment.The best feeling ever.My bridal march with matching my fave song " I will Be here".While walking down the aisle, nung palapit na palapit kay arman,naiyak ako kasi our long wait is over and finally magkkasama na kame. I can't believe tlga.We'll finally become ONE. Cant express my happiness :D

My dad giving his only prinsesa to his prince charming :)

I never thought that it can be this fast.

Definitely our answer would be YES because finally we'll be together :)A new chapter is about to reveal in our lives. A new "career" to me and arman :)

Btw,I would like to thank peope in advance for being part of our wedding preps. thanks for people who keep on asking us from time to time how's our wedding preps . You know, it really means alot to us.

First post! and some updates :)

Hooray! My first post this year! :) Omg i cant believe this its only almost one month to go. I really can feel it…38 days to go to be exact. 2008 was really fast. We've been really busy this past few weeks. Daming inaayos, arman's paper ( alot of requirements that we need to submit to HK-immig), next to that is our work load. i super hate it,sumasabay pa.argh!Isang malaking sagabal sa wedding preps! hahaha and lastly our preparations to our Big day :)

Just sharing lang some of our accomplishments:

- Wohoo! our invitation is ready for distribution. and I so love our invitation :) Hopefully our guests will love it too... :)We are actually expecting it finished by end of jan but goodjob to our supplier, they delivered it really early. :) This is really is it na kc may katibayan na. haha
- Our Marriage Bans is done na din.After 3 Sundays of announcing it the public on our own parishes. ( New style of kung walang tutol or meron :)) Finally we got it at wlang tumutol. Hahaha we’ll be sending it to Caleruega within this week.
- Ento measurements is done na. Thanks to all for being so supportive. hehehe Fittings will be 1st week of feb. Hopefully I can see atleast one of the gowns paguwi ko.
- Invitation for my officemates are in the process na. we’ll be getting it by end of january. I'll be distributing to them the simple ones lang just to make it formal. Too bad my supervisor can't make it as she will be 5mos preggy next month.
- We've already finalized our liturgical entourage. Will post it later...
- Arman and Tita had their first fitting last Sunday :) Need some adjustments kay arman kc tumaba cya. hahahaha
- Our missalette is almost done na din.just finalizing the gospel.

And Lastly.....

- We have na our wedding rings!!! :) we bought it when arman was here. I'm so excited to wear it. thanks a lot hunny babe! :) I really really reall really really really love it. We really spend on this since this will be the symbol of our forever/undying love for each other. Hahaha


There you go, that's just some of our accomplishments. But still alot of things to do. I cant wait to be in mla in 2 weeks from now. I really had hard time booking my hk-mla-hk ticket bec of Chinese New Year ( Peak season ).I have to be in wait listed for both PAL and Cathay. But Lucky me, ate mitch found a seat for me now! :) oh,i cant wait.

2 months to go!

Congratulations, She: Your wedding is just 9 weeks away!

I got this alert from one of the wedding website that I've registered. Wah.. Can't believe really! 59 Days to go for us. and 2 weeks from now it's year 2009 na! Parang panaginip lang. Yay, ang bilis na tlga ng panahon ngyn parang kelan lang this time last year we're booking the Church and visualizing what we wanted to have in our wedding. :) Parang kelan lang lahat. we're just so happy that our dreams and plans are starting to come true, just the way we wanted it to be :) We plan to get married by 25, arman will be 25 by then and me since 2009-1984= 25 na din hehehe. . I cant believe i'll be walking down the aisle and seeing my man waiting for me at the altar and ready to spend our lives together :) We really thank God for all the blessings He's giving us. Love you babe! Can't wait! :)

Thanks pa! :)

Finally, I saw my dream necklace that i wanted to use on my wedding day.Been searching for "the one" for quite some time now. Then ayun nga finally i saw it na :) Actually, been eyeing on this since last last week pa . I'm just convincing myself maybe i can find another necklace with cheaper price.But then parang love lang yan eh,kasi kahit anong convince mo sa sarili pag mahal mo babalik balikan mo... It really caught my attention.In short, Love at first sight :) i'm always imagining myself wearing that necklace and how beautiful it would look on my wedding gown and ofcourse me even after our wedding :)

So now i just called up my mom telling her that i really wanted to buy that necklace later. and my decision is final na. But then I was so surprised when my mom told me that my papa wants to buy that necklace for me, he told my mama gift nya daw sakin yun this christmas. i was like awww. di nga ma?cant believe,deep down inside im super touched. My papa knows how much i love that necklace kc everytime na paguwi ko he will ask me, binili mo na? i would always says hindi pa, ang mahal eh baka next week nlng pagiisipan ko pa. I'm so happy that finally i will have it later. Thanks papa for the super nice christmas gift! I'm really surprised. I really really really love it. I can't wait for later and finally bring it home :) and oh cant wait to wear it na. :) Love you both so much! :*

My groom's turn...

Today is arman and tita's appoinment with Cecil. So early today,arman and my future mom in law went to cecil's shop to have their first ever measurement taking and sketch...i dont know if arman will show the sketch to me. hahahaha baka gayahin ang ginagawa ko. hahaha. i'll wait,they are on the way home pa lang.let seee :) i'm so excited to see my future mom in law's gown and ofcourse my arman's attire. :) yesterday night, arman was telling me what kind of attire he wants to wear nttawa ako kc may mga pics pa cya na pinpkita skin. hahaha sobrang OC tlga kht sa damit. sabi ko ang arte pala nya. ang kulit tlga. haha :P

just sharing...

yesterday got a txt from my bro.

Gudluck samin :) Enjoying the last leg of our preps.. panic.relax.panic. :D So far so good nman pero ndi maiwasan ang gantong feeeling.... :) Can't wait. will post updates later :)

Labor of Love :)

Featuring our Save the Date Card. ( STD )

One of our successful " Do It Yourself " project ( of cors love urself. hahaha )

After so many revisions, haha that is OC we can be :P Finally eto na, It's all in our hands :) We were the one who conceptualized it from down to details. I remember my brother " John " told me that " Ate dapat maging part ako ng wedding nyo ha, dapat ako mgddesign " I was like super touched sobra. And so we asked we asked him to draw caricature, he did it for only 15 mins, i was so amazed.hahaha. As well as Mark, he is my secret keeper about our wedding, he knows everything from major to small details :) I never thought that they would be this so into our wedding and very supportive. I'm just soo happy...

We're so glad for all the compliments and telling us how cute it is :) We really wanted to distribute STD Card for our Principal Sponsors, Entourage, Friends from Abroad for them to file their annual leaves and book their ticket. ahahaha! :) We started distributing it personally last Aug,that was 6 months before our wedding. and we've already sent out for those friends from abroad. And for people that we we'rent able to give them personally we just send them the through email, an E-Save the Date version. But still some friends are asking to send it via airmail.. hahaha will be sending it soon. :) Here it is :)
Hopefully,more projects to come :) I just cant wait for arman to visit here :P

An update from my groom.5 months to go! :)

Since this is just once in a lifetime event in our lives,so this month i gave him a chance to do our update :)

" Today marks the fifth month count down until our big day. I feel very much excited but equally tensed and anxious.

Why anxious and tensed? Exactly one hundred and fifty two days, everything should be set and perfect. Though it’s good to feel that all our major suppliers are already booked and almost set, in terms of the small details we barely scratch the surface.

We need to make our imagination work and produce the best ideas we wanted for our wedding. But of course, I know we can do this. We just need a little bit more time working on these things, helping each other, and giving our hearts out to make it perfect.

Oh Yes, I’m so excited too! Because it’s almost here, the most awaited day of our lives. This would be the day when we open a new album in our lives. Everything will be different. It’s like starting from scratch. This is a new opportunity to start things. I’m excited for the new work, for the new environment, for the new lifestyle, and of course to be with my wife forever. "

my 2nd fitting :)

Finally,This morning i had my 2nd fitting and as usual w/o arman :) Gabi pa lang naiicp ko na ang fitting ko. hahaha! Shet, i really love it!!! ( sabi nga din ni Queen. hehehe. ) I cant wait for my big day sobra.obvious ba? :) i can't explain how hapi i am. :) A lot of adjustments, *ahem,ahem*. hahaha! I should maintain it *crossed my fingers* at eto pa ang nakakatawa he gave me tape measure para imeasure ko everyday kung tumaba ako. hahaha! At first kala ko ngjjoke lang at aba ang lola mo bngyan tlga ako.

I super love cecilio sobrang maalaga. the best ever!!! I will have another fitting before i leave :) wohooooooo!!!! :) This is my last uwi for this year and Can't wait for my Last fitting next year. :) Can't wait to see my dream wedding gown. :)
