Wedding Favors

With our church wedding having been moved to an earlier date next year, it is a must that we push thru our plans more swiftly and surely. Wedding planning is a Herculean task but I see it more as a challenge that needs to be won than merely a job that needs to be over and done with. I won’t let time constraints ruin it and dampen our spirits.

Wedding favors are just one of the things that we’re brainstorming about. We’re still undecided on what small tokens to give our guests. Since we both love to eat, why not give something edible like chocolates or cupcakes? Or something that can be kept for posterity’s sake like custom coins or figurine displays? There are tons of ideas found online but it seems it’s quite hard to choose at the moment.

DIY Fringe Necklace

I had some free time last night and used it by doing something creative. I made a DIY fringe necklace using only four materials: old silver chain, scrap denim fabric, beads and black thread. I’m so happy it turned out really nice and even got some compliments from my workmates this morning! Yes, I made it last night and wore it to work today (excited much). Haha.

It’s not so photogenic but I’m telling you it’s gorgeous in the flesh. Haha. I wanna make more of this in the future. My only problem is I don’t get to have as much free time as I’d like these days. I also want to buy more materials in Quiapo or in Divisoria so the next time I make accessories, I won’t be limited to the scrap/recycled materials I have at home.

Weekend Round-Up

It’s Monday already and yet I’m still on weekend mode. Why do weekends come and go so fast? I always feel like I don’t get to do as much things as I’d like to do during weekends. Like last weekend, for instance.

On Saturday, I was joined by the fiancee and his parents to visit my parents in Cavite and pay for the door and window screens we had installed. Goodbye house flies and mosquitoes, now you can no longer get inside our house! *insert evil laugh here*

Online Shopping at the New Multiply

Multiply.com has recently upgraded its online shopping system and it seems everything’s doing fine. I said so because I shopped there last week. I didn’t really intend to shop I just wanted to browse items in the “marketplace.” But before I knew it, I was already paying for three accessories via Paypal. Haha.

If there’s one thing that needs to be improved on, though, I think it has to be the shopping monitoring system. After I paid for the three accessory items I got from two different merchants, I tried checking my account if it would reflect my purchases but found none. I also wanted to monitor the movement of my items but there was no provision for that. I dunno if they just haven’t gone to that part yet or my account isn’t only updated. But still, something’s amiss here.

Toxic Tuesday

This morning at home, I was feeling very lazy and had a difficult time getting out of bed. To be honest, I’m not feeling so well today. I even thought of taking a sick leave just so I could get more sleep. But my mature side won the mental battle and so I ended up in my office desk a few hours later.

It was a toxic Tuesday in the office. I did a lot of stuff and felt like a drained battery when lunchtime came. Actually, I was silently praying for time to pass more swiftly so I could take some rest before going to work in the restaurant tonight. Too desperate, I know.

Super Fun Sunday

Today was super fun. The fiancee and I attended two events, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. First was my college friend Matol’s son’s baptismal and second was his officemate’s daughter’s first birthday. Happy occasions are always a sight to behold. If you are invited to witness one, the more delightful it becomes.

I’m glad that despite the many things we needed to do today, we took the time to connect with friends and strengthen the ties that bind us together. During these two events, I couldn’t help but imagine myself (us, actually) organizing events for the family we are raising together. It’s gonna be fun, for sure, and worth all the efforts we’d put into it.
