I have shoes na!

I've been visiting lila almario's store in glorieta for the NTH time. it was just last wednesday that i found the perfect size and the perfect 3-inch heel required by merlene. I'm not used to wearing that very high heels kya mega practice ako that night even if antok n antok na ko..hehe. would u beliv suot ko un shus sa pag tulog..hahaha..the next morning as i was preparing around my house preparing for work suot ko pa din.then when im about to leave the house i removed it and wore my usual shoes na walang heel..what a relief!!whew ang hirap ng maliit! anyways i dropped the shoes off to merlene's na para ma cover na nila at malagyan ng beadworx. excited nko makita sya uli para ma practice ko uli.. im nervous bout wearin them on the day of the wedding especially pag nag lakad nko sa church where lhat ng focus na sakin..oh my ..i rily hope di ako ma out balance or ma trip. hehee!

Mom's arriving later

Yipeee..in about some hours from now..mom will be finally ariving together wid my two siblings! im so happy about this that i could not exactly describe my feelings. I havent seen my mom..in what?..hmmm 6 years? i almost gaved up to the thought that she actually couldnt attend to my wedding..when we moved our wedding just for her to be there. Our wedding was initially may 7 but due to the kids on going final exams they couldnt make it and so we moved it..that is how important it is for me for my mom to be there on my big day. She's very special to me! She always tells me that im a very loving and responsible daughter which makes me proud of my self. We definitely have a lot of catching up to do with the wedding..she dont have a gown yet and my little bros still dont have their barongs. with 18 days to go this'll be a marathon of things an OC OC--han bride shud still accomplish:

*Buy shoes and give to merlenes.
*Buy mom's gown, 2 barong set, their shus.
*Finish place cards.
*Wrap ento gift.
*Never ending RSVP follow - up.
*Meet wid impromptu and our hosts to discuss program on friday night.
*edit program.
*finalize seating arrangement.
*Buy church stuff.
*meet jayson my HMUA once more.
* Settle Church, reception, and gowns.

whoooosh!
