    Gift Basket (12)
    Finished Product!

    1. We were only able to finish 1 set. Rush yan actually coz we need to come up with something na for our very first PS visit. Fortunately, maganda naman ang kinalabasan.

    2. The gift boxes contains the fabric for their suit/gown, while the basket contains canned pork legs and double happiness misua. Don't be shocked. That's the simpliest PS gift package in chinese history. *LOL* But really, that's only the basic. Some couples give out candies, fruits and other stuff pa.

    3. To follow nalang yun necktie nung ninong wala pa kasi kaming nabibili. :D

    4. I love the pearls. The one in the picture was actually made by Dex. Contest kasi kami.... Magkasing ganda lang naman ang gawa namin *LOL* We're suppose to use that as embellishment of the gift basket. Pero later we decided not to use it nalang kasi baka akala ng ninang kailangan nila suotin yan sa wedding day. Hehe... An idea we thought of is to give it out as accessories sa entourage. That is, if we have the powers to replicate it. Haha..

    5. I love the polka-dot choco ribbon! Bought it at Morning Glory sa divi.. on sale! :D

    6. Had a hard time looking for wrapper na choco ang color. So we used caramel color instead since yun lang ang available. Not bad naman. Btw, the caramel boxes are for ninongs while pink boxes are for ninangs.

    Thanks a lot to mareng Glo for providing me a lot of DIY tips. DIY Goddess ka talaga! :)

    I composed the above post days ago. My mood had a 180 degree turn since yesterday because of the catastrophe typhoon Milenya brought to our house. or er.. i should say my room. The gutter of the ceiling got stucked up because of stray objects (like plastics, leaves, etc.) which caused the water to flow backwards. Na-shower na naman ang kuwarto ko! My PC and Yamaha keyboards were all wet wet wet! My room's a disaster! :( Imagine me discovering the disaster in the middle of the dark. Buti nalang my HERO was with me and helped me took care of the aftermath. Otherwise, I don't know what to do except to cry. *sniff* Fortunately, important papers for the wedding where kept in plastic containers. And I was able to keep my camera inside the drawer a few days ago. Anyway, for better and for worse talaga, my labs is always with me. And I'm very thankful to God for that.

    P.S. I do hope there aren't any serious damage done to my PC and keyboards.

    While current technology doesn't provide a way to permanently zap my freckles, I will learn to love them for the meantime.

    Unbelievable as it may seem, we're finally tying the knot on Jan 21, 2007. This is an online journal that documents every tidbits of our wedding preparation as we savour every moment of it.
