dami na naming nagawa

Been very busy lately, both with work and the preps, but what’s a blog without an update.

Jaims got his barong and slacks already. He’s cute. When I went to his place to get the entourage’s gowns, I forced him to fit his barong and slacks. He looked good. It was a Chinese-collared barong made of piña. Although Kuya Joel said Chinese collar will make his neck disappear, for me he’s still the most handsome guy in the world (awww, sweet!) Jackie delivered Analyn and Jo-anne’s gowns too, along with CCs and the flower girl’s gown. Honestly, I didn’t like the shade of the gown. It was too shiny and she didn’t actually followed what we asked her to do. The brown lace of the gown was supposed to be half an inch thick but she made it really thin. I understand, the picture in the catalog has thin lace but wouldn’t it be nice if you listen to your client. With the flower girl’s gown, I have no idea where she got that style. It was clear from the start that I didn’t want spaghetti strapped gowns nor x-backed gowns. I stressed at the very start that the flower girls’ gowns should be sando strapped and zipper backed but she didn’t follow my instructions not even the picture I gave her. I just so hate her. A typical Divisoria gown is just like that. Maybe she thought she could get away with it. Maybe she thought that since we look nice, it would be easy for us to let go of that but NOOOOOOOOO!!! *utot nya* I insisted Jaims to call her and demand the changes. I texted her about it but she didn’t reply. Jaims tried calling her but she didn’t answer the phone but texted at once asking why he called. Unfortunately Pao didn’t like the gown she did for her so Mama called her also. I just hope she would work on the gowns we asked her to do. Wawa naman!!!!

As for CCs gown, I sent it back since we couldn’t afford to have it changed. Since Shy will be sent to the States again around September, we decided to get CC as Maid of Honor and have Kyomi as one of the secondary sponsors. Ate Jing suggested that her gown will just have to be beaded to make it look different. Migo’s barong and pants were already done, while Mama’s gown is still for beading.

Now as for my gown, Tito Edgar asked me to fit the lining this afternoon. Honestly, I was all smiles while trying on my gown. Lining pa lang ang ganda ko na, pa’no pa kaya kung gown na hahahha!!!! Unfortunately, Tito Edgar didn’t let Jaims see the fitting. He was telling Jaims para naman daw magkaroon ng element of surprise hihihi! I like my gown…I like my gown…I like my gown * alright, quit it!* 

Quite a long day today and I felt like I’ve done a lot. Started this morning with a McDo kiddie party. Jo-anne invited me to her niece’s first bday and I volunteered Jaims to take pictures. It’s so nice to have a photographer boyfriend. Anyways, since there were few kids, that perky host called adults to play the game. *kainis!* But I had fun. Nicole was so cute. I was able to bring Jo-anne’s gown already and just this afternoon she texted me that the fit was ok but her boobs were too big that’s why it was a little tight hahhaah! …bachoy! But at least the fit’s okay kaya GO! GO! GO!

Jaims is scheduled for pre-nup today so after the lining fitting, we took the train to go to Quiapo. The purpose of the trip was to get the printouts for the invitation and buy abaca for the cover but when we got there we didn’t get the printouts. There was a line in the middle of the picture file so the lab assistants didn’t print them. Though we were able to buy 12 yards of abaca fiber. materials

We found a chocolate brown abaca but they didn’t have enough stock so we were only able to buy 7 yards of brown abaca and another 5 yards of the neutral color. It costs us P300.00 for the 12 yards and another P220.00 for 30 meters of pink lace. Oh, I almost forgot we also bought linen papers and adhesive paint for the invitation. But since we weren’t able to get the printouts, no invitations will be done tonight.

Right now, I’m enjoying a movie marathon at HBO so until my next update. Ta-ta!
