2 weeks and counting

after a full year of preparing for the wedding, things have definitely shifted to first gear. oddly enough, i'm neither giddy nor too emotional about the wedding. mik and i agree that this vacuum may be an unconscious effort to brace ourselves for last-minute wedding stress.

case in point: co-workers and i have lunch in glorietta, and i zone out for 2 minutes... only for art director j to say that i'm in another one of my tulala moments when i'm probably thinking of what i still need for the wedding. talk about predictable. =P

all that's left now are the little details that have been in the I'll-Do-It-When-The-Wedding-Is-Near-Na List:
* reception program script
* misalette
* buy aldo's camiso chino
* manicure / pedicure
* photo/video preprod to set things straight


my leave supposedly starts on sept. 5 but by some silly joke of nature, work has been pouring in like crazy and i can't leave til the 6th. hmph.

saturday was supposedly my last fitting with lya but her son is in the hospital for dengue so we had to postpone. mom and MOH were the only ones who were able to fit their dresses... and they still had alterations! arte kasi e, my sister decided she wasn't comfy with an a-line skirt so she had hers altered to a straight cut. hay, talk about more mabusisi people in the family!

i was supposed to wear pink shoes to the wedding but since my sister couldn't find the right shade for her gown, i gave her my shoes (which were a perfect match for her anyway)_and found an excuse to get new ones! it wasn't so difficult to find myself a pair (or maybe i'm not that picky anymore LOL) - found replacement shoes last sunday. although they're an inch higher than the original shoes, i love them! i just hope i don't trip in them. oh and this time, they're white na. i intend to break them in while in the office this week. =)

on the brighter side... at least aldo gets here on saturday na! yaay! i'm dragging him to the bridal expo so at least he gets a glimpse of what it's like to be harassed hehehe!
