Random Thursday

today is our 46th monthsary and we've decided to spent it frugally =D. we tried out, for the first time, the newly opened mang kiko's lechon in lau pasat. we promised to spend only S$10.00 for our dinner but to our dismay, one set meal of liempo costs S$6.00 *sigh*. nevertheless, we gave away our S$12.00 since we're both hungry, too weak to find another place, and craving for that oily grilled porky huhu. we'll be poorer than ever in the next days to come. kaluoy tawn! hehe :p

next stop after dinner, is strolling around raffles (holding hands haha). we didn't plan to have dessert coz we're trying to be "frugal" but we passed by starbucks and i heard the cheesecake calling me as if begging to be devoured (ok, exagg! :p). seriously, i was also craving for something sweet (the moment i saw starbucks that is :D ) because the liempo and chicken was too oily for my taste (i'm trying to be semi-vegetarian btw hehe). so there, moyo gave up on me and i happily savoured the capuccino cheesecake. aylaavveeettt! such definition of frugality (and semi-veg). whateva basta busog! =D

my sister, lovely, happily offered to buy chocolates for our choco bar. yahhhoooo! i didn't force her, promise! i just shared to her this blogsite and let her do her thing, that is, to read hehe. she told me that she can buy ferrero, hershey kisses, patchi and will try to buy godiva as well (chocolates in dubai are pretty cheap). isn't she lovely? hehe. i can't even complain though it seems too much. i mean, thats her, being generous =D. but we'll see if i can control myself from eating those sweets before the BIG day or else, we'll just give away chocnuts haha :D thank you dear sister! but i still hope you'll be present huhu (she's still undecided to come home due to work chuva).

it's my youngest sister's, katrina, birthday today. she's now 24 and will be leaving for UK this october. how sad is that for the eldest sister-bride-to-be? she was informed just this morning and i don't know if that was good or bad news. surely, it was good news for everyone because finally, after the long wait, she'll be working professionally (paid higher) as a nurse. she is supposedly my maid of honor but now...sinaw *sigh*. seriously, i can't imagine how our wedding would turn out knowing my family is not complete. haller its my big day kaya!

anyhoo, i am really happy for her, from the bottom of my heart. i know she's also sad that she cannot attend especially that its her first time as maid of honor (you can just imagine how giddy she was when she forced me to let her be my MOH). but what to do? her future is at stake and i just can't take that away from her and from the whole family. i have to look at the positive side. at least, there's a lot to look forward to. Europe tour is one =D

i sooo love how the littlest of things make me giggle! yes, i'm shallow like that =)

Confession of a Chocoholic

i am yvonne and i am a chocoholic! :D

that partly explains why i easily suffer from tonsillitis (aside from being stubborn :p)

i am just happy to share that my addiction will play a major role in our wedding reception. we will be having a chocolate/candy bar for our guests!!! HA! i can't wait!

the bar will look something like this...

yellow candies, yellow jellybeans, hershey's kisses and perhaps will add some locally made chocos like those from goya's or nestle's. (those egg-like chocos were my favorite when i was a kid :D )

these sweets will be kept in something like this...

oh yes, definitely our Love is Sweet! aaawww =)

but, but each guest will be initially given a pretty mini jar full of... whatelse??? still chocolates!!!

ain't it the sweetest act from the couple? LOL :p

Invite Teaser

the cover

some teeny-weeny revisions on the layout.
thanks to my ever talented good friend, Arman Po.
final invite to follow.

p.s. Arman will also design our Save-the-date cards.

at first, i thought we won't be needing it but i guess we are.
we need to send/give one to our far-away relatives who don't have an email ad.

In Search of the Perfect Yellow Shoes

i have search high and low in almost all shoe stores here in Singapore but to no avail :( i have not, for the life of me, found the perfect not-so-bridal-yellow-shoes. darn!

i wanted to get one during this Great SG Sale period so I could avail of big discounts but aside from that i need to have one for my first gown fitting come September. *sigh*. i promise to get back on my feet and do the rounds again. i hope my target store has some new items "on sale".

look at the yellow shoes. prettiness, isn't it?
and of course, mario has to wear something yellow *wink*
this looks really fun!

Monogram Designs

thanks to fozzy, w@wie member, who designed these pretty monograms for us. she also did most of the pretty monograms of almost all w@wie members, for free. what a good heart!

she made three for us and i can't choose because it's all pretty (gawd, how many times have i mentioned the word "pretty"? hehe)

anyway, i am posting so you can help us choose. mario and i have different favorites :( whichever design has the most number of votes will be declared the winner hehe. will be using for thankyou2 chuva, souvenirs (if we have one :p) and other kaartehan that i can think of LOL.



mario likes number 1 while yvonne likes number 2. so how?

Petals or Balloons???

i want something to be thrown outside the church right after we go out. but i am still undecided if it would be petals or balloons. which do you think is more dramatic? =D

yellow, grey and white balloons?

or yellow and white petals?

whichever i could decide on, the photographer and videographer should be ready and alert to capture its drama :)
