Two things we've accomplished today:

1. Hired a wedding coordinator (Camz of Fab Occasions)

The original plan was to ask my girlfriends to be the coordinators for our wedding.  However, Tim mentioned that if we give them responsibilities, then they really wouldn't enjoy our special day.  Tim decided that we'll just hire professional wedding coordinators.  I was supposed to meet Camz last November, but the meeting did not pushed through -- and this is one of my biggest regret.  Why? Because she increased her rate for 2009 and eventhough we inquired last year, we got covered by her new rates.

When I called her to set up a meeting, I told Tim that I already feel good about her even though I was really disappointed with the new rates.  We met Camz at Starbucks 6750 and I was surprised to see her pregnant (no feedback about that at w@w).  We discussed about the OTD (On The Day Coordination) for the wedding and I must say Tim was really impressed with her that we already paid the downpayment (to block our wedding date).  Sabi nga ni Tim, "imagine, lahat pa un iisipin naten on our wedding day??"  And if there's one supplier that he feels that is really worth the payment, it would be Cam'z team. 

2. Paid the down payment for our wedding rings (Meicel Jewelry)

We booked Meicel at the bridal fair (Megamall) and because of it, we got 25% discount for our rings.  Yipee!Ü The owner was easy to talked to and finally, Tim and I agreed on the design for our weddings rings.  We both can't wait to wear it on our fingers.Ü

Side Kwento: On our way home, Tim said he's really happy with what we have accomplished for the day.. Kaya lang, baka daw "atakihin na sya sa puso" sa laki and dami ng bayarin namen for the wedding (wag naman mahal)..Ü Pero super happy ako kasi ilang beses na-mention ni Tim na excited na sya for our wedding..Ü

A Day with Friends (01.10.09)

Together with Tim, I went to Trinoma to meet Jade and Alyn (college friends). We had lunch at Bigoli, where we really enjoyed the unlimited bread (I think I had 3 and Jade had more than that).Ü We also watched a movie, since English movies are now showing.  I managed to convince Jade to watch Transporter 3 instead of Bedtime Stories.  While waiting for our movie (showing at 3:45pm), we stayed at Starbucks where Alyn and Jade ordered some drinks.  After the movie, we had to say goodbye since we had different plans for the night.  I really enjoyed our day -- thanks for the update and the chickas.  Too bad there was no camera so we had to settle for pics using Tim's phone:

For dinner, it was a couples' night at Balsa where Tim and I had dinner with JM, Raine, Butch and Christel.  Too bad Gem, Feli, JR and Amae weren't able to join us.  We had a lot of kwentos and chickas -- but mostly the topic was about wedding and marriage.  Hmmm... JM and Raine already set the year of the wedding but Butch is still quiet about his plans.

It was a fun day.. Thanks mahal for spending it with me and my friends.Ü

Sebastian - Sudiacal Wedding (12.18.08)

Where: Our Lady of Consolation Parish | Fernwood Gardens

Side kwentos:

- Even though Tim and I will be celebrating our 6th yr anniversary next month, the wedding event was the first time I got to meet all of Tim's high school friends.
- Joyce was a fellow w@wie and she sent me an e-mail when she saw one of my post at w@w. she said she wanted to confirm if i'm really "kaye ni tim jacinto" -- small world noh?Ü
- Sean and Joyce were high school sweethearts who made it to the altar and their wedding date marked their 10th anniversary -- impressive!Ü
- As usual, we enjoyed the Partypics Photobooth.Ü

I was not able to take a lot of pics (hiya kasi ako sa friends ni tim.. hehehe), but here are some pics grabbed from Partypics website:
