I've been sick this week

Last Tuesday afternoon I felt an unusual pain at the lower back of my head. After a while I was already palpitating so I hastily went to the clinic near my office. The doctor checked my blood pressure and it was 120/80. I normally have 90/70 BP so there was a significant pressure increase but she told me it's still within the normal range so nothing to worry. It still feared me though. Anyway she also scolded me when I told her I have not undergone through ambulatory ECG and 2D Echo yet, which was supposedly due October last year when I was having episodes of heart palpitations.

What I felt according to her is due to stress so she advised me to have some rests. When I went back to my office I called Mona and invited her over dinner. We met at Bugis MRT and munched at Yoshinoya. After Mona's work and lovelife storytelling (haha!) we decided to go home. While buying pasalubong for Aldee (Mona's beau), I felt dizzy and wanted to vomit so I held tight of Mona's hands while she still continues her unending love story (LOL) not knowing of my condition. I was still in that state when we are about to part ways so i decided to tell her everything. She told me to text her if anything happens. Hence I took a cab and asked uncle (the taxi driver) to drop me off at the clinic near my house. The GP told me to relax and gave me a muscle relaxant, fever and pain and anti-giddiness and vomiting tablest and a medical certificate so I could rest the following day. I am alone for 2 weeks so Jay asked me to call Mona to accompany me that night.

It felt that I rode in a roller coaster the days after. I couldn't stand for long time because I was giddy, I easily got tired and last night I had a fever and a 30-second chest pain.

I feel better now and I want to thank the Lord. His goodness has truly sustained me. I've always felt better after praying. But I know that He wants to teach me something here. I realized that He wanted to correct my habits - He wants me to watch what I eat (I've been eating fried and fatty foods lately, not to mention that I also consume fast foods at regular basis) and He also wanted me to put right my sleeping patterns (I usually sleep at around 1 to 2 am and would wake at 2 pm during weekends). My mind also has suppressed a lot of thoughts recently-about my work, the wedding, my family back home, the future-some are excitements, some are fears, some are disappointments. I was keeping all of them until they all gushed out. It saddens me to think that I had to undergo through all of these when I have my God - I have my big God who could push me up and save from being drowned. I admit that sometimes I forget to share my thoughts and completely give my loads to Him. Sometimes I would just filter what to pass to Him and I learned that the Lord doesn't love the idea. He desires for a complete submission so He could fully control everything.

I also want to thank Jay. I don't want to sound bias here but I want to give him the best fiance/boyfriend/husband-to-be award. I've been alone for 2 weeks (my relatives flew back to Philippines for a 2-week vacay) but I never felt unaccompanied. He never failed to check on me and make sure I am out of harm's way (he also had to watch me sleeping via skype). I love him more than ever. I always thank the Lord for his life, and I believe he'll be the best husband I could ever have. :-)

Honeymoon Destination - Checked!

I've been on the search for our honeymoon destination since last week. Ya know, shaking off my head with all the wedding preparation headaches.. I was in constant communication with one of the owners of DJEF Travel Agency who also happened to be a college classmate and friend, Gail asking infos about their current packages (thanks Gail, two thumbs up for the customer service skills!). This afternoon I was still contemplating between their Palawan and Boracay Package when kuya (i should practice calling him ninong) Joseph suddenly pinged me asking about our friday gimik. Then out of the blue he popped up the Q: "San kayo maghohoneymoon?" I replied that we are still thinking about it. He told me he wanted to offer his unit in boracay but it is taken until May 2012 so he'll just pay our accommodation. I am honestly not comfortable in receiving such huge gifts, oh well except for my engagement ring  but I must admit that we will save up a big amount with this huge slash on the wedding budget. And it is a blessing, so to cut the story short I/We accepted the gift. I am actually overwhelmed until now, at the moment I'm more excited on the Boracay get-away more than anything else..hahaha! Thank you so much kuya Joseph! You're such a blessing. *sniff..sniff..*

And now ladies and gents, here's our official honeymoon destination (btw according to him we are occupying the beachfront room..wow, thank you Lord for this blessing!)

Dresses for our little girls

I was able to finish my task early today so I had the luxury of time to search for the dresses of our flower girls. I am leaning towards the tea length size since the kids might trip up with the floor length gowns.

Here are my choices (all photos were grabbed from google)

Monograms for my co-W@wies : 3rd Batch

Here's the 3rd batch of monograms for my co-w@wies. This is probably the last batch until I get married because I already need to focus on our DIY stuffs (Invitation, Growing up Video, Maps, Unity Candle design, etc..).  5 months to go! ^_^

EDWARD ♥ CATHY

Cathy (uy katukayo!) is a 12.12.12 bride-to-be but she told me she wanted her wedding invitation be done by October 2011 - now I'm pressured, I haven't started our DIY invitation yet..

Motif: Gold, Orange, Peach and Ivory
Theme: Autumn/Fall






JHUN ♥ ANNE

I personally know sis Anne. She was my table mate during w@wSG EB. We've shared a lot of wedding preparation stories. I actually conversed with her a little longer than my other co-w@wies since she was my seatmate. So when she asked me to do her monogram, I never thought twice. :)

Motif: Yellow and Cobalt Blue
Theme: Summer Theme




SEAN PAUL ♥CHARLENE

Sis Charlene's monograms are supposedly included under the second batch but due to my toxic schedule in preps and at work hers has been delayed. But I wanna thank her for being patient.

Independence Day

Conscious when I woke up that today is Philippine Independence Day, I sent a suuper cheesy SMS to Jay:

"Beb hindi mo independence day ngayon ha, hindi naman kita pinapalaya"
