Overnight stay at Sundowners Beach Villas

You’ve probably seen an ad on social media of this Instagram-worthy resort in Zambales. We also did! I’m blessed and cursed to have kaladkarin friends. Magkayayaan lang sa chat, nakapag plano agad ng lakad. Thanks to ate Erliza who made the booking for us as early as January of this year! The weekend slots are quickly getting filled! Mabuti na lang mabilis kumilos and madaling kausap mga tao. Bahala na sa schedule by then (RR, Juicy, and I being on the same team).

We left Alabang at around 7:30 in the morning. Had a quick (if over an hour can be counted as quick) stopover sa NLEX for breakfast; then nag grocery shopping sa Subic. We arrived at our destination in Botolan, Zambales around 3:30 in the afternoon.

We booked the Left 2 bedroom pool villa. For P 14,000, the place can accommodate 7 pax. But since there was 9 (and a half) of us, we added for the extra pax.  As usual, nakalimutan ko na kung magkano total.

Here are some photos courtesy of classmate Ren.

Super convenient para sa mga ma-jinarts na friends having classmate Ren around! He likes taking photographs and was very patient being the official photographer of the trip! 

This trip was extra special because a very important question was asked – Mike proposed to Jusyl!

She said yes!

walang ligo ligo, pictorial agad 

sorry na R, favorite ko kasi tong moment na to 

Team Mustard

Bago mag uwian,nag merienda kami sa Kabigting's Halohalo sa MarQuee Mall. Masarap din and sulit!

So much fun to travel with friends, especially kapag may masipag mag asikaso (Jhell), magaling magluto (RR), mahilig kumuha ng picture (classmate), and mga madaling kausap at masipag mag drive (Mike and team Tecson). Thanks na rin Jusyl sa ambag mong ganda.  

Congratulations Sweeties Mike and Juicy!

Nag sleepover sila Mommy/Daddy dito sa apartment kagabi. Usual moves, check lahat ng gamit namin si Mommy, si Daddy check pinupuna ng pagkakagawa ng bahay. Hahaha.
Humingi ng NESTEA Milk Tea si Mommy kaninang umaga bago sila umuwi. Nakita nya sa pantry namin a.k.a. ibabaw ng ref. So I gave her a few, 3 pieces to be exact.
Just this afternoon, nagtimpla ako and messaged her via Viber.
Kring: Best served over ice. (+ photo of my glass)
Mommy: Yes, hindi ko pa natimpla. 2 pcs give ko each Tita Baby and Aisa
Haaay, super mapag bigay talaga nanay ko. Kahit sa mga simple bagay, palagi nya shine-share.
I want to give her the world. Ipapamigay nya pa din most likely.

I was doing fine at home, NOT eating sweets. Then I went to SM, BAM!!! In less than an hour = Krispy Kreme! Serenitea! May nalalaman pa kong 50% sweetness level. Girl! Pakatotoo lang tayo. 

Haayyy summer na naman kasi. Ang hirap umiwas. Yesterday, Adobo na lasang Paksiw ulam namin. Edi syempre dapat may partner na Coke! 

Try and try na lang ulit sa pag iwas. Pa moral support naman dyan!

It's March 2019 and About Time I Write My First Post For the Year

Ano ba ang pinaka ayos na comeback blogpost after being away for few months?

Ano pa, edi random thought vomit! Pero sige na nga, wait, I’ll try to gather my thoughts. 

• Project CKGA
• Wedding Day
• Marriage
• Honeymoon
• Other random shit

Medyo mahirap mag blog pag madilim and gutom. Also, crap - na-turnoff ko yung touchpad ng laptop ko and I don't know how to turn it back on. 

Wala pagkain, so I guess, iinom ko nalang ng tubig 'tong hunger pangs. 

Okay, first topic, Project CKGA - nakaka underwhelm, yun na yon. 5 Posts? Well, I started late na rin kasi. Sabi nung ibang mga graduate, nakaka miss daw wedding preps. LOL, K girl. I still remember how exhausted I was nung mga final weeks before our wedding. As in, naiiyak na ko kasi gusto ko na matulog, but there's always something that needs to be finished. Medyo na cut short siguro "wedding high" namin kasi nag Christmas na, then New Year. Do I miss the preps? Sakto lang. A couple of friends who are preparing for their upcoming wedding had been asking. Enthusiastic naman ako sa pag share ng experience namin, but naghohold back din, coz kanya kanyang trip. Mas maganda ma-discover nila on their own; lam mo yun, I think disadvantage rin yon for me sa dami ng sinearch ko, may mga bagay na di naman na talaga kailangan, nakiki sabay lang ako. Off the top of my head - wedding wands! *rolls eyes hanggang sa makita ang brain* -- as in, bakit ko pa ba pinush pag bili ng materials non?! uh huh, di ko nagamit yung 10pcs na nagawa ko, kasi pangit na pangit ako, sa gawa ko. gaaaahh.. change topic!!!!!! 

Siguro, ang favorite kong part ng preps namin, and I should've made a separate post about this, is nung nag Discovery Weekend kami. Preapare for your marriage, not just the wedding. I've attended several retreats growing up; from highschool, and family retreat nung active pa sila Mommy and Daddy sa group nila. So medyo meron na 'kong idea on what could go on. For boss, it's somewhat new experience. Meron nung collge kami, but not sure what his take nun, or if he was really engaged ba sa mga retreat namin -- I think isa lang ang nasamahan nya? 
Itong activity siguro yung marerecommend ko sa lahat ng nagpprepare, kahit hindi Catholic. 

Wedding Day! I've decided to make a separate post na lang about this. kthx.

Marriage, ayan na. Nung kabataan ko. solid ang tingin ko sa marriage. Growing up, oblivious ako sa mga marital problems and broken family. Sa kinalakihang street ko kasi, "buo" mga family. Until I grew a bit, and someone close left her family. And nung tumatanda na, marami na nakilala, naging "not shocking" na for me, if someone was raised by a single parent. Kumbaga, alam ko na nangayari yon, but I said YES when he proposed. 
Sya kasi, we can never be sure about anything in this life, pero sya, I think sya yung katumbas nung SOLID na alam ko when I was younger. Hindi ko na nga namalayan kung kelan nangyari yun. 
Turning 3 months na kami as married couple. Pinag hahandaan ko parin yung winawarning nilang adjustment phase. Sabi nga sa isang topic nung DW, iba iba tayo ng Family of Origin, so baka akala ko ayos lang na ganito, sya pala hirap na. Sana lang, hindi sya yung nasa struggling side, kasi sobrang chill ko lang. Hindi ako nahihirapan - I mean, sana may exempted sa stage na yon, kung meron man, ako siguro - or too soon to tell? H'wag naman sana.

Honeymoon - yep, separate topic na lang rin

ORS - as in super duper random - photo dump here we go

huling book na natapos kong basahin, puro na naman ako Netflix!!

Project CKGA, MWPJ Ep 5

Nag-submit kami sa church ng mga final requirement - banns, permission to marry, and list ng Principal Sponsors and their address.

While waiting for our ride (aka jeep pa-SM Molino)

Me: Yeey na-submit na natin!

Him: Yeey! (sabay kiss sa kamay ko)

Me:** (kilig)**

Project CKGA, MWPJ Ep 4

Totoo ba 'to? Chill lang ako ngayon at walang hinahabol na dapat tapusin?! Slow clap! 

Tapos na kami sa documents. Naipasa narin namin sa church. Ang pending na lang namin is yung listahan ng Principal Sponsors and their addresses. 

Isa sa pinaka struggle sakin ang manghingi ng measurement ng mga abay. 42 days to go, wala pa rin yung sukat ng maid-of-honor. 

Eto pala yung mga una kong pinagpilian na dress:

Pinag-vote ko sila. Ayun, napili nila yung least like ko. So, scratch lahat. Humanap ako ulit ng iba. Ginawa ko na lang peg yung mga nakikita kong neoprene dresses. Like this one:

May something similar din sa Celest' ~ local brand and cheaper than Apartment 8 kaso, ang tatangkad ng abay ko - di keri ang RTW sa kanila. 

So, nag inquire na ko dito sa kapitbahay namin mananahi. Tinanggap nya naman kahit less than 3 months away na lang. Malapit na mag monthsary yung pag-request ko ng measurement nila. Buti naman nakapag submit na yung iba.

Pero nahirapan din ako mag book ng appointment with my OTD, super busy nila, almost daily ang bookings nila. Nananalig naman ako na di nila ko papabayan. Puro good reviews naman sila sa W@w. 

Pero ang invitation namin, dito ako pinaka natagalan. Meron akong friends who can make invites, pero ayaw ko kasi humingi ng discount. Haha. So nung may nag post sa W@wies na mura lang, gnrab ko na. 
Ayun, tulad ko, maraming nag book sa kanya. Mukhang na-overwhelm si supplier sa demand. And sa  pagka-arte and detail-oriented, inabot kami ng ilang weeks. Plus yung mga revisions sa names ng entourage. Nakakaloka! And no, hindi pa rin sya tapos til now. Para matapos na agad, ako na nagsasabi ng font face name, at nagbibigay ng hex code ng kulay na gusto ko. Hindi ko alam kung ikinakadali ba ng buhay ni supplier yun, or naasar sya like - "oh 'di ikaw na ma'am!!" Kung marunong lang ako mag Photoshop, baka nga ako na lang gumawa. 

Dito na muna. Gising na cocol-mate ko.

Balik bridechilla slash bridedoublechinna.
