I am sorry for not being able to maintain this blog. I had become totally pre-occupied with the wedding. After that, I had to go back to a lot of work in the office. Whew!
Got another attack today. I guess the workload, wedding preparations and the problem with the ballooning wedding expenses triggered the attack.
It's irritating when you wake up in the morning and feel that throbbing pain. You just feel so helpless.
My phone's loss a few months ago and my lack of time to get hold of the contact numbers of my friends kept me out of the loop for some time.
Anyway, just this week, I finally found the time to get in touch with my friends. To my suprise, a lot of people have been trying to find ways on how to get in touch with me. Most of them are getting married this year and they want me to be one of their secondary sponsors. A friend's son who happened to be my godchild has also been trying to contact me. It's my godchild's 7th birthday and she does not want me to miss it.
It's good that I didn't miss these special events.
Weddings have become so expensive these days.
There are several cute cakes, 5000 ansi lumens projector plus giant screen, fireworks, illuminated dancefloor, etc. that you may add to your wedding celebration. Beautiful and tempting. The problem now is the budget. I'm sure a lot of those preparing for their weddings have gone beyond their budget.
I have not updated this blog for several days now. Yes, you guessed it right. I've been super busy.
I miss the days when I get to blog hop, accomplish a tag and share some stories. Anyway, nothing much changed. There are just a few addition to our list of wedding suppliers. We booked some of them at the Wedding Summit.
As regards work, it's the same hectic and stressful life that I chose to get into. Whew! Just this morning, I was tasked to handle a declaration of nullity case. I initially refused because I'm now preparing for my wedding. They just seem to be two overly conflicting activities for me. Oh well..
Just to let you know that I was able to drop by.. Imagine, me dropping by my blog?
Well, I've been soooooooooo busy lately. There were several tasks that I had to finish..asap! Talk about pleadings, reportorial requirements, meetings, etc. Oh my, glad that I was able to post something now. But I still have tons of tasks to do. Will try really hard to catch up on the tags. I'm really sorry. I know how you all patiently posted the tags that I have given you.
To those who have plans of getting married, it really pays to start planning early. In my case, since I have booked the major suppliers already, I could rest assured that my wedding will still be okay despite my uber busy schedule. At this point in time, I really would not be able to squeeze in some time to meet suppliers.
How about you? How have you been doing? Will visit your blogs as soon as my workload becomes a little light.
I'm sorry, I really have a bunch of concerns about weddings. It's only a few months about our wedding and we still have not finalized the list of entourage. Another thing that we still don't have is the wedding favor.
Whenever I attend weddings, I always look forward to the distribution of the souvenirs. :) Now, that it's the time for me to give them away, I also want them to be really special. I know how it feels to be the recipient. :)
May I, once again, ask for your suggestion? Is it okay to give something edible like chocolate or cupcake? Or would you suggest the usual display items?
To those who love writing, here's another chance for you to earn from something that you enjoy doing.
Article Submission Program is another venue for your writing skills. Here, you will be given the opportunity to write about certain topics. Articles must consist of 350-500 words. Instead of posting the article in your blogs, the same will be posted into a live database. It seems really interesting.
Payment is pegged at US$5 per article. The same is made via Paypal every 5th of the month.
Go find an opportunity to write now. :)
Do you still remember my asking your opinion about getting a second photographer?
We have finally decided to get one. The second photographer gave us a very reasonable rate. I've also seen some of the wedding pictures that he had taken.
The bridal fair at the SMX, SM Mall of Asia will be on May 17-18, 2008. Aside from that, there will also be a wedding fair on June 7-8 at the A. Venue.
As always, I would advise that bookings be made during the said fairs because suppliers do give out discounts and freebies.
Happy preps!
I was just trying my luck when I decided to look for some sponsored opportunities. I'm glad I tried.
I was able to read about a new social community, the Social Spark. What's good about it is it does not only allow you to meet people and get connected with your friends. It provides for a marketplace where its member-bloggers could earn.
At Social Spark, one will be able to get some blogging opportunites and earn some extra income. The advertisers, on the other hand, may find here the appropriate blogs where they would like their ads to be placed.
SocialSpark seems to be really interesting. In fact, I have signed up the moment I read about it. That's the reason why I am now sharing the news with you so you would also see its features.
By the way, since I mentioned that I was just lucky to have seen the opportunity to write about this new social community, I would like to share with you the profile of the latest blogger who had visited Social Spark. It's http://socialspark.com/bloggers/blogging-buddha. I hope that blogging-buddha could also give me lots of luck that would allow to write for a handful of advertisers.
I hope that you could try it as well.

I was able to read about some brides choosing to have cupcake towers instead of cakes for their weddings. Some even have the cupcakes boxed and have the same as their give-aways.
I would want to ask your opinion regarding this. Would it be better to have the cupcake tower? Some say that a cupcake tower would be better because it will be made of all edible cupcakes. On the contrary, the traditional wedding cake would usually have 1 layer of edible cake only.
No, despite my being busy for the past weeks, I haven't lost some weight.
A few months to go before our wedding but still, I haven't shed the pounds that I promised to lose since January. What makes it more difficult is my tendency to eat more when I'm stressed.
Can you give me some tips?
Hey!
I'm sorry, I'm not done with the tags yet. I also have not visited your blogs yet. I don't know why our clients had to ask for several things to be done at almost the same time.
I was not able to visit the bridal fair at Rockwell. I still had to work last weekend. I might just go to the bridal fair at sm mall of asia.
Hello! :)
I failed to post in this blog for several days now. I've been very busy this week. I'll be doing the tags as soon as I can. I'll also be visiting your blogs soon.
