Pictures Galore!
Now that the wedding is done, photos of the amazing event have been flooding cyberspace. Check out the photos from Oneal’s camera, taken by the Managing Editor of Playboy Philippines, Misha Lecaros:
Our awesome Star Wars wedding invitations
Super major thank you to Jovan De Ocampo for designing the invitations, and to Ian Roxas for taking these photos. 
Eight Days to Go
As I write this, Oneal is at Big Sky Mind for his bachelor party with the geek guys, and I’m at home with the cats and the laundry. Eight days to go till the big day, and my bridal shower is on Monday. (If you want details, please ask Jovan or Shey. I know nothing.)
I’m so excited that my nerves are in a frenzy. This past week we’ve been pretty relaxed, but now I’m listening to my bridal march song, and I’m so psyched that just listening to the song brings tears to my eyes. (Check out my epiphany about it from months ago.) Ted of Manila String Machine says they’ve been rehearsing the music they requested, and I can’t wait to hear their renditions of the Star Wars themes we love so much. Continue Reading…
Ten Days to Go
Sure, we’re stressed, but it doesn’t feel like the end of the world, or like a deadline looming. It feels more like the rest of our life is about to begin, and we really can’t wait.
So what have we been up to? I’ve been trying to tie up loose ends at work so that everything’s okay when I go on leave. Oneal’s been doing the same, I think. Together, we’ve been delivering wedding invitations, getting RSVPs from the guests, and preparing for the despedida de soltera, which is happening this Friday.
Perhaps among the most exciting things we’ve been doing of late are the attire fittings, and the dance lessons. I can’t wait to see my finished dress and veil, and Oneal’s really excited about his barong. And last Sunday, we took our first dance lesson!
In the days to come, we’ll be meeting with our ninongs and ninangs, finishing off supplier payments, and pampering ourselves in time for the wedding.
I can’t wait till I’m married to my hunny bunny.

Last Two Weeks!
we have reached the two week mark before the wedding.
some people are surprised at how calm we are, most couples are usually in a stressful panic by now. Our suppliers marvel at the fact that we can still find time to watch Improv comedy shows instead of worrying about wedding details.
this calmness we attribute to our good friends who are helping with the wedding and our family who are not stressing us (too much)
in one week some of our Principal Sponsors will be arriving from the US. also, Rej’s mom will be going on leave from work to help her out with stuff. i’ll be taking a leave from work too a few days before the wedding.
Honestly, i cant wait for our Star Wars Wedding.
actually, i really cant wait for the Marriage that comes after.

Anak ng tatlumpung tokwa, bakit ba ganyan?
You know that point where you’re about ready to give up? It could be that horrendous term paper, a 10-kilometer marathon, or a really big fight. It seems there are so many odds against you, and it would be so much easier to give up. I felt like that when I was trying to fix my birth certificate. Continue Reading…
Anak ng tatlumpung tokwa! Hindi pa tapos!
Even when we knew what we had to do, things seemed hopeless.
The confirmation certificate:
Come Tuesday, December 15, we called Mount Carmel, and the verdict was out on my confirmation certificate: the Diocese said we had to get a copy of the original from Abu Dhabi, or at least some sort of certification stating that the confirmation had indeed taken place on the date and at the place we claimed in the original certificate we presented.
Great. How were we supposed to do that? There was an address for the Vicar Apostolic of Arabia on my certificate, but it was just a PO Box. All seemed bleak. Continue Reading…
