Big Thank You!

This is my long overdue assignment (aside from having my wedding gown dry-cleaned) that I owe from my suppliers for helping us make our wedding a wonderful one. 

Rule of Thirds by JR Salonga

I read about JR in GirlTalk. I have a list of all other photographers and let Lester decide. Fortunately, they also had a package with ReelHD. Lester and I love our photos. They were full of creativity and we can see his passion in photography through his shots. From our prenup to our wedding, each picture has a story. Yung iba, take pictures as a living. Kay JR, he takes pictures because he loves to, that's it. Kung baga, bonus nalang at binayaran siya. Kita naman sa kuha e. Our wedding was very simple but the pictures are very beautiful. My dad was also very happy with our pictures. Galing daw ng photographer namin! Very professional, though a busy person, he still makes sure to keep in touch to discuss things.

Ryan Borrel of ReelHD

I was surprised with how he did our SDE.  Every SDE kasi na pinopost niya, pinapanuod ko and I keep telling Lester, his videos are getting better and better. With this, I can say, pinag-aaralan niya yung couple and the song that goes to the video to put the right videos. I thought Ryan was very serious but he’s very light. It might have also helped that we talked to him in person a few days before our wedding to discuss how we wanted the video. We did not dictate how he will do it but instead told him that we want something fun, not very senti or dramatic. Yun lang ang instructions; we did not even choose songs for the SDE. We’re very happy with the output.

Froilan and Erik of FroilanErik Artistry

Recommended by JR Salonga, this team has amazing hands when it comes to airbrush makeup. Froilan did my make up while Erik did my hair. The first time I inquired, I did not book them right away. Although many brides from girltalk recommend them, I still had second thoughts. Buti nalang they joined a bridal fair so I was able to try their makeup and I liked it! They also did my make up during our prenup and many people noticed the make up was beautiful. Froi and Erik are very bubbly. You won’t get very tensed on your wedding day because they keep on cracking jokes. Looking at the photos, Froilan and Erik did a good job transforming me in to a wonderful bride.  

Lowell and Chie of 7TenFive Events


Another hard to find supplier, an on-the-day wedding coordinator is very critical. This one, we need to really do some research because the output are not very visible over the net- your only basis will just be reviews. What I did, I made sure my coordinator has already worked with one of my suppliers (they have worked with Froi and Erik). Another professional, Sir Lowell is very respectful and easy to work with. The wedding day went very smooth, and was perfectly managed. Ma’am Chie was also very helpful – I did not book retouch so Ma’am Chie helped me fix my hair and put on a little more make-up during the reception. I’m very happy with how they worked – zero stress talaga sila – from the suppliers’ food to receiving of flowers to everything! Lowell was even our host and he did our programme outline. It was a lively event and there are parts of the program that were new to us. Comments came from guests, “ang galing ng host niyo”and even the pixture taking was not boring because of the crazy poses that engage the guests to watch the people taking pictures. Highly recommended, very professional, and very well organized!

It was an Accident.

It was a Thursday  during my midshift lunch break when Lester and I scheduled to request NSO copies of our birth certificates and CENOMAR. It was very unusual of me riding the jeepney during rush hour going to Glorietta but apparently I saw a short queue at the loading area. I took the ride and jumped off in front of Rustans but the jeepney driver unloaded me on the second lane. I saw this huge bus in front of me while I was trying to cross the street so I decided to cross in front of the bus. I was too close from the bus's front that it hit my right upper arm and lost my balance. When I was almost in control, the bus still did not stop, hit my right arm and fell down on the steel drainage along Ayala Ave. I was still able to manage to get up and immediately called my fiance. I saw him running while holding his cellphone, shouting at the bus conductor. Initial negotiations did not go well that I decided to just go to traffic police station for a blotter and go to the hospital f...

How I Made It Thru My Laziness

I woke up one morning and thought, I want to shop! But I was too lazy to get up and dress myself to pass by malls before I go to work. And then, I remembered my good friend Zalora. I wasn't really a fan of buying things online (especially huge amounts) because I feel my credit card might get screwed and might end me owing something I did not purchase. Aside from that, I was also not really very confident that I might not get the right size or it's not the one I bought, or simply, I don't like it at all, pala! Until I knew of someone who has tried this online purchasing and so I tried it.  This is already my second time to buy in Zalora. Remember, after being curious of buying online., this time Zalora helped my PMS-ing issues. :)  Zalora has thousands of goods anything from clothes to shoes to accessories, branded or from the marketplace, for men and of course, for the ladies. My favorites come from Spring Fling and Something Borrowed. Affordable, classy and...
