Photo Story: Our Valentine Trip to Mauritius

Dear Online Diary,

Wanna have a glimpse on what went through with our honeymoon err Valentine trip to Mauritius? Read on:

On February 14th, we drove to NAIA, left the Philippine territory aboard a Cebu Pacific aircraft. A few hours later, we found ourselves in Hongkong International Airport, considered as one of the largest airports in Asia...

A Pre-Valentine Update: Love is in the Air (literally!)

Dear Online Diary,

Hello, everyone! I haven’t been able to blog for a while so let me express my sentiments – “I miss doing DIY projects… I miss my W@W sisses… my co-Girltalkers… and most of all, I miss blogging!!!!”

There, I said it. That’s better.

Hey, it’s February – the so called “love” month. In 5 days, we are going to celebrate Valentine’s Day. How’s your plan going? While we're all wishing that our H2B and hubby’s going to be Mr. Valentino 2011 for even just this one night (or at least I know I am), let's do something special for them (for a change, I must add).

Happy Christmas From Our Home to Yours

Dear Online Diary,

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I can’t believe we’re actually celebrating our very first Christmas as husband and wife. Christmas eve was superb yet simple. We cooked our own dinner (yes, DIY Christmas eve dinner) and decorated our home in time for this special day.

{Christmas Eve Dinner involves inihaw na liempo, barbecue, hamon, chicken sopas, graham cake, blue chocolate roses (from Sophia's Chocolat) and a sparkling wine plus a movie date}

Atty. RF: The Lawyer con Master Photographer

Dear Online Diary,

Professional. Creative. Witty. Cowboy.

That’s how we can describe Atty. Raymond Fortun upon meeting and working with him for the first time.

Almost two years ago, I never dreamt of getting him as our photographer. W@Wies were (and still are) raving about his works on our W@W e-forum. Later, I found myself dumbfounded as I browse his creative works via his multiply site. To make the story short, we were one of the lucky couples who were able to book him. Big hurray!

On the day, he’s one of those who arrived early at the hotel. He proceeded to the bedroom (not without the “ooohhss” and “aaahhhss” and “si Atty. Fortun oh!” of the people inside the suite), quickly scanned our wedding details, flashed a big smile upon seeing all my DIY projects and presented the bride and groom badges that we won via his raffle last October (Thanks, Atty RF. They’re adorable!).

Hey Friend, It’s Been Awhile

Dear Online Diary,

It’s 11 days before Christmas and I have yet to finish my supplier’s ratings and kwento. My apologies, lovely readers and brides but I’ve been working on a new venture that may well be part of the new chapter of our lives. :)

Still, it cheers me when people send me private messages just to tell me that they like my blog and ask questions about our DIY projects. Thanks, sisses for reading my blog and my supplier reviews. Don't hesitate to shoot me an email whenever you have questions to ask or just to say hi. :)

How’s married life so far?
