Life happens. Lots of changes going on in my life. Laziness and old age seeping through my system. Also the fact that I lost a years of content in my blog and restarting blogging here in Blogger, I am not sure if my url is really working, makes me feel demotivated to blog.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This post is so long overdue. I have posted since July of this year. Almost 4 months passed. But I wan't to document my 10 years wedding anniversary with J. Our wedding anniversary was on May 18. I know! Like I said, long overdue, really. We celebrated it in one of our vacation place to spend our staycation - Jebel Sifah. I have several blog posts about Jebel Sifah but since I lost most of content - it evaporated into cloud of smokes from the internet. But anyway, we celebrated our anniversary on exactly on May 18 but in between Zeke's birthday which was on May 9 and May 18. I got a free weekend to celebrate with my family.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Jebel Sifah is 1 hour drive from Muscat. We have stayed in a rented apartment there 2x and in their hotel, Sifawy Boutique Hotel, 2-3x, I think. We just love the feel of the place. It has relaxing atmosphere. Lots of space of the kids to play around. There are several pools for us to choose from in the area. We love hanging out at the lovely atmosphere in <b>The Bank Beach Club </b>where we get to have a free swim too in their pool.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">We choose to stay in the previous rented apartment to save cost. We are cutting expenses and saving up. We bought a cake and some snacks. We, of course, did our mandatory family picture before we head out to The Bank.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggBkaRcw66q4zaDI06iu8y0myw5ymllF6KUhhGL1em9fNakTTl9jQbCpJLSDt0PBnN-yd2F1qddwtZ6VUvBsXAzWSo-cg1b8XEF1vTu5tJZmAsTOEbYUmvk4-W_hEx27q9X6CNb-1p3I1bss3DEFEcsEUaN84mPJ7HHyWPE4aW7ztIiZL4_IeWVwyWfzCX/s1776/348632822_1029767894655403_5018685415264510466_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1184" data-original-width="1776" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggBkaRcw66q4zaDI06iu8y0myw5ymllF6KUhhGL1em9fNakTTl9jQbCpJLSDt0PBnN-yd2F1qddwtZ6VUvBsXAzWSo-cg1b8XEF1vTu5tJZmAsTOEbYUmvk4-W_hEx27q9X6CNb-1p3I1bss3DEFEcsEUaN84mPJ7HHyWPE4aW7ztIiZL4_IeWVwyWfzCX/w640-h426/348632822_1029767894655403_5018685415264510466_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBlMVMEaoDkPM2xEnxK5j2BBUrciZrlbly4fP-Fg9Oi4cQRm3-7eF7lJtyzj4v2hs9E_4gznFiBj4BgnMRp0L6JAOpB0EYoPaxt3N0pr38s0CXkS7akvToOCFuqM-1FA6GZHfVSslJzElfJab401CGg_Azg5CQqCrJkzAFjnhr-cMOnBQW9UnZHqGLx2aI/s2048/348601856_639669854844576_5481528567792448410_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBlMVMEaoDkPM2xEnxK5j2BBUrciZrlbly4fP-Fg9Oi4cQRm3-7eF7lJtyzj4v2hs9E_4gznFiBj4BgnMRp0L6JAOpB0EYoPaxt3N0pr38s0CXkS7akvToOCFuqM-1FA6GZHfVSslJzElfJab401CGg_Azg5CQqCrJkzAFjnhr-cMOnBQW9UnZHqGLx2aI/w480-h640/348601856_639669854844576_5481528567792448410_n.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDl4JVGMJTD9D-TDVTOezBU_QYcnq_C-OnXxkZLxS9nGSCnyBoVlKu2eHA9UWQpILVbjW9TCzmKMicsCBvYTc4Vv03ndWTnD7pvdU0msXPysFHh02Ph_SjabRhkoDlo0MiNcLGFOP8vAVT13ebkDzh2ZVLHQmvdaY-6rgEhyphenhyphenkpY5qZW7OeI6TR6LvFuhPg/s2048/348624467_244264604955999_8962814365395554928_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDl4JVGMJTD9D-TDVTOezBU_QYcnq_C-OnXxkZLxS9nGSCnyBoVlKu2eHA9UWQpILVbjW9TCzmKMicsCBvYTc4Vv03ndWTnD7pvdU0msXPysFHh02Ph_SjabRhkoDlo0MiNcLGFOP8vAVT13ebkDzh2ZVLHQmvdaY-6rgEhyphenhyphenkpY5qZW7OeI6TR6LvFuhPg/w640-h480/348624467_244264604955999_8962814365395554928_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>After a bit of rest, we headed to <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thebankbeachclub/" target="_blank">The Bank</a> </b>for a swim and we will be having dinner there.

I learned about blogging from my dear friend <i>Wein</i>, who told me about this blogging like it is an online diary. You see, I love writing. If I am not a doctor, I rather be a writer, if only it can support me financally. So the blogging idea appeals to me. However, I was ambivalent with writing down my thoughts and the invasion of my privacy. I remember how I started writing about how hard my Neurology exam in medical school and I was so scared my Neurology professor will see what I wrote online, I deleted it after writing two sentences in the blog. Then I said I am too cowardly to do this.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">By 2008, I just passed my medical board exam. Before I was entering into my Family Medicine residency training, I went to a pilgrimage trip with wonderful young ladies to Sydney, Australia. After our wonderful experience there, we wanted to keep in touch, so we opened a <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiply_(website)" target="_blank">Multiply</a> </b>account (now defunct) that is similar to <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendster" target="_blank">Friendster</a> </b>and <b><a href="https://myspace.com/discover/featured" target="_blank">MySpace </a></b>(remember these?). The Multiply network can allow us to tabs of each other and it has a space to create blog entries which was really cool. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kristinaconcepcion/" target="_blank">KC Concepcion </a>used to have a Multiply account during her school days in Paris and she post lovely blog entries with photos of her life in Paris. So I eventually started writing there and eventually move to <b><a href="http://www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Blogpost </a></b>(or Blogger) when my sister encourage me to join her there. That was 2009. I was a Family Medicine resident training in a hospital in Iloilo City, my hometown in the Philippines. I enjoy writing entries after entries on my blog - <b>www.littlemisshoney.blogspot.com</b>, though sometimes not really consistently. I started dating my husband in 2010. I enormously enjoyed my blog stories and he encourage me to keep writing. And writing, I did. I wanted to monetise my blog and to actually feel like a "real" blogger with brand collaboration, sponsorships and more readership. Frankly, I didn't know how to do reach that but I just continued writing on my blog. My writing voice would change from time to time, mimicking blog voices of other bloggers. I really didn't have enough blog identity to begin with. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">By 2012, I got a job offer in Singapore and started working there by the end of the year. By 2013, I told myself I want to improve my blog and become a legit blogger. First I got my own domain and removed the blogspot in url. I migrated to <b><a href="https://wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Wordpress </a></b>and said goodbye to Blogspot/Blogger. I got a professional blog coach to evaluate my blog and give me pointers how to improve my blogs. She gave me wonderful advice and I even hired a web designer to design my blog. I joined Facebook blogging communities in Singapore. And slowly, I started working with different brands. I would received emails from brands and PR agency inviting me for blogging events and collaboration. I got lots of freebies, free food tasting, and got modestly paid for it. I met wonderful friends through blog events and had an amazing experiences. It was an awesome gig! I worked with <i>Zalora, SK II, Sephora, Pink Parlour, Tobi, St. Ives,</i> and many more. I enjoyed it immensely though it was difficult juggling it being a mom of young kids. There were times when I did get burnt out. And my love for writing was replace by the need to get more followers in <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/littlemisshoney/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> </b>to keep up with my blogger colleagues. It was all about having more followers to attract brand sponsorships and PR companies. I didn't like that aspect of the blogging world but I have to play that game to keep up. I hate marketing myself and I just want to write. I also have that nagging feeling to keep my life private. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZPeeaX9AFT1GWgh5OdFlZ0RA_g7nnf0KWepf6bV8Z5G1QK_v70PHulGhCOeUca9w5fx0h2o9acbEg-7tZOJaJRzAGobdVeVLWi21MpKBoryHolW_ncABZKslOoEPdnDFljSQ7Hmj2F5invk6VzqbOHqbxUt7TE41cnim1_oBxKTvdeh9AiOskRNw_N-eL/s960/Little%20Miss%20Honey%20Blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="790" data-original-width="960" height="527" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZPeeaX9AFT1GWgh5OdFlZ0RA_g7nnf0KWepf6bV8Z5G1QK_v70PHulGhCOeUca9w5fx0h2o9acbEg-7tZOJaJRzAGobdVeVLWi21MpKBoryHolW_ncABZKslOoEPdnDFljSQ7Hmj2F5invk6VzqbOHqbxUt7TE41cnim1_oBxKTvdeh9AiOskRNw_N-eL/w640-h527/Little%20Miss%20Honey%20Blog.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">By 2019, I moved to Oman with my family for another work opportunity. Life in Oman was more laid-back. I relaxed more and I blogged less. Plus we didn't have any helper in Oman so even if my work life in Oman is relatively relaxed compared to my work in Singapore and work hours are quite short here, when I get home I have to do some house chores and take care of the kids than take some quiet time to blog. I started to become more private that I even stopped posting in Instagram by early of 2022. Though I was still blogging on & off, with long gaps of months in between. I wasn't ready to give up blogging just yet.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Early this year, my website crashed. Sometimes, this would happen and my blog host, <b>GoDaddy</b>, would be able to fix it. But after 3 calls with GoDaddy IT people, they were able to get my website back up. I have to accept the inevitable - I will have to say goodbye to my blog. I told my blog host to delete my hosting even if it means that will lost my content. I do I lament at the lost content from 2013 to early of 2023. Those years were the years that I was on my A-game in blogging. But thank God, I still have some bits of it, ready to be resurrected. I will still need to fix a bit of my blog because it is not quite there yet. I am taking my time. This is not a race. Hopefully, I can fully put it back again. I hope to monetise it too. I want to write as I used to write, with my voice to tell a story and share a thought, not to become a emotionless copywriter to promote products only because it is the assignment. I will continue writing here. I will write more..... soon.....</p>Little Miss Honeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12806354981209983505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231874763207403292.post-9787754838980244962023-07-09T03:17:00.009+08:002023-07-09T03:21:33.619+08:00HOW I STARTED FANGIRLING AUDREY HEPBURN EVEN BEFORE IT BECAME A TREND AMONG MY GENERATION<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Lato;">Those who knows me knows that my favorite celebrity of all time is AUDREY HEPBURN.

I was 1st year high school, around 12-13 years old. We just got cable TV. Our local cable station would have one channel which they would play movies after movies before there were HBO and CINEMAX, and of course, NETFLIX came later. We often get excited what they will show on that channel. We can even request sometimes the movies they can play, much like requesting from a DJ in a radio station. Though often they would say yes but never complied to our request. My siblings and I would constantly battle for the remote control until I just gave up, giving my sister and brother (our other youngest brother was not born yet) to fight for it daily. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Lato;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Lato;">One morning when I woke up, my brother who won the remote control battle that day (and my sister is nowhere to be found) told me that you like become a nun right, there is a movie about a nun in the TV. You can watch that and handed me the remote. He might have gotten tired of watching so much TV that morning or my brother was just being gracious to me that day. Trivia about me: When I entered high school, I was enrolled in an all-girls high school run by nuns. I loved their systematic schedule; their prayer time and meal time are based on a ringing of the bell; their early morning mass; their minimalistic cloister. I also developed a deep personal relationship with God that I felt like I had a calling to become a nun. My siblings would weirdly look at me when I would put a white cloth (<i>lampin</i>) over my head with the end just like nuns, with the two sides tucked underneath the back of my hair, as I go about my day in the house. They would find me sometimes prostrate on the ground with my face down with my hand spread in the side looking like a cross when I pray. So the people at home are well aware of my obsession to become a nun during the early part of my high school life. (Think Winona Ryder in the movie, Mermaids.)<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Lato;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Lato;">So back to that day when my brother handed me the remote to watch this black & white movie about a nun. The movie is called "<i>The Nun's Story</i>" starring Audrey Hepburn. I thoroughly loved the movie and the actress. I even called my mother in the phone who is working in an office (we often call her in her work from time to time) and asked her if she knows Audrey Hepburn. I am also a fan of those TNT black & white movies. The local cable TV showed several movies starring Audrey Hepburn - <i>Breakfast in Tiffany's </i>and <i>The Unforgiven</i>. I grew to like her more and more. I started find articles about her too in my mother's magazine subscription.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Lato;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Lato;">When my family moved to Saudi Arabia when I was around 14-15 years old. My father's company has this huge library for staff and their family to use. I started checking out books about Audrey Hepburn - her life, her style, her beauty. The more things I learned about her, the more I even liked her more. I love her classic style. I love her fashion sense. I love the little black dress, the white big button down shirt with a black tights, her ballet flats. I learned about her humanitarian project and her connection to UNICEF. Not only is she a wonderful actress with a great sense of style but an amazing kind selfless person too. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Lato;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Lato;">When I got older, my admiration for her never waiver.

Technically, it did got lost. I have been blogging at www.littlemisshoney.com since 2013 but 2 days ago, my blog site crashes. The screen flashed - Critical Error. I reached out to <b><a href="https://ae.godaddy.com" target="_blank">GoDaddy</a></b> several times. They told me to check in after 30 minutes to 1 hour and my site will back up. I waited for 24 hours. www.littlemisshoney.com is not yet back on. I called them again and realized that they can't fix it. So I have to decide yesterday with heavy heart to say goodbye to my beloved 14 years old blog. I told the GoDaddy technician to delete my website hosting. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWQan6diwwMh8E7lBbJ5rldHa5ZZpndwBf_SjpgWIwMMKZ_n4LLFFsbUWN07evvIm_KYDYVWu1_Wz8ob2GN8nTQ5B3jzedHrbe2E--L1krqgvjVuNQ7JTdDF6OmuSQUGFBcxBlMm-8nJrJoh0e7kJZ51ojnjIEerIl7KlNNCF-E9Y9HJGdwqLuwnX348U3/s993/design%201a%20copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="243" data-original-width="993" height="136" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWQan6diwwMh8E7lBbJ5rldHa5ZZpndwBf_SjpgWIwMMKZ_n4LLFFsbUWN07evvIm_KYDYVWu1_Wz8ob2GN8nTQ5B3jzedHrbe2E--L1krqgvjVuNQ7JTdDF6OmuSQUGFBcxBlMm-8nJrJoh0e7kJZ51ojnjIEerIl7KlNNCF-E9Y9HJGdwqLuwnX348U3/w557-h136/design%201a%20copy.jpg" width="557" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Since yesterday, I was thinking of starting a new blog at either <a href="https://www.blogger.com/" target="_blank">blogger (blogspot)</a> again or <a href="https://www.wix.com" target="_blank">wix</a>. I been coming up of new names for a new url. I tried to open a blogger window and I connected with my google account. Lo and behold, my old blog prior to my migration to a my custom domain is still here. All the articles and photos from 2009 to early 2013 are still here. I am so delighted! I am currently writing under my littlemisshoney.blogspot. I still have my domain -littlemisshoney.com. I can't bear to lose that. I was surprised that if I sell my domain today. It cost $1,175 already! But I don't think I am going to part with it though.</div></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">So here I am blogging in this space again.

I am too scare to toggle and probe my old blog and lose the data.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I also deactivated the comment section of the blog because I don't want to attract spam comments which maybe the reason why blog crashed.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I can be reached through my email: littlemisshoneyblog@gmail.com or DM me at my instagram at www.instragram.com/littlemisshoney</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Update you soon guys!

<span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">My friends and I heard about another popular dish in Singapore called the <b>Bak Ku Teh</b>. It is a pork rib soup filled with strong and delicious herbs and spices. One Saturday afternoon, we headed to Rangoon Road to test this dish. We chose one of the most popular Bak Ku Teh branch in Singapore. The locals say if you want to try Bak Kuh The, go to <b>Founder</b>. Bak Ku Teh is usually a breakfast meal but we decided to have some in a late Saturday afternoon anyway.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">After a few directions given by our google map app, we found Founder Bak Kuh Teh in Rangoon.</span></div>

It has a strong delicious taste but not too herbally to put us off. It has a bit of a sourish to mild spicy taste in it. It reminds us of our own Kansi in Iloilo but with thicker soup. The ribs was tender and tasty too.If you have slurp up most of your soup, the waitresses would be willing to serve you more (free) soup. Yes, kaldo, hehe.

<span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">We got sautéed vegetables to counteract the flavors of the Bak Kuh Teh and Pig Trotter. It was surprisingly good. And it perfectly neutralized the strong taste of the two dishes.</span></div>

<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">I am in a Jodi Picoult phase right now. My sister and I are crazy about her novels. I believe she is pure genius, breaking boundaries and writing about controversial topics in a very empathic and touching voice. I also vowed I should stop reading her books because some topics could be a bit depressing and heartbreaking. But I couldn't seem to stay away from borrowing more of her books.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Vanishing Acts is the second novel I read of Jodi Picoult after blowing me away with the <a href="http://littlemisshoney.blogspot.sg/2013/04/book-recommendation-storyteller-by-jodi.html" target="_blank">"The Storyteller"</a>. Vanishing Acts' storyline remind me of that acclaimed Filipino film starring Claudine Baretto, Diether Ocampo and Jericho Rosales, "Nasaan Ka Man. Three friends growing up together and both guys falling in love with the girl. Of course, the girl falls in love with only one of them. But no, not one of them is a killer nor the other a bad guy unlike the Filipino movie. It is also more about a story of a love of a parent and the measures he/she will do for the love of his/her child. *Spoiler Alert. Delia, the protagonist, learned only that she was kidnapped at a very young age by her dad when police came to their house to arrest her father. Now, she has to ask her fiancé (one of her childhood friend) to be the lawyer to defend her dad in court. Delia, who is a mother herself, struggles with this new revelation in her life. What if her child was taken by her child's father too, away from her? Would she've done the same thing if she was in his dad's position?</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">In the novel, you realise the special bond that God had created for a child and parent. It is precious, extraordinary and blessing. It is a blessing that comes with tremendous sacrifices and selfless acts to testify your love for God's gift to you. Reading this, I salute all parents and my parents especially. Our parents will always have our best interest at heart. They will do anything to give us a better future and protect us from harm even if it means sacrificing their own life, their career, their freedom...</span></div>

We both love to travel and it was our first time to travel together abroad. We decided to have our honeymoon in three places: <b>HONGKONG, MACAU and SINGAPORE</b>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are a total geeks. We spent out honeymoon in a Science Museum, hehe. We also did a lot of crazy poses at the Avenue for the Stars and hang out for a bit of fresh air at Victoria Harbor.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We did a bit of window night shopping at Temple Street and Mongkok Market. We sampled the HongKong cuisine. Some we like, some we will never try again, ever, hahaha!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We went to Central and rode the tram to The Peak. We love it there. We also visited the Madame Taussauds' Wax Museum. We had so much fun there. I am so happy to be sitting beside my idol, Audrey Hepburn, even if she was just made up of wax, hehe.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of course, even with a limited time, we dropped by Disneyland. Too bad, our flight was on the same day we went to Disney so we hurried to the airport and we weren't able to catch the fireworks. We will be back, HongKong Disneyland! We promise!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Visiting and exploring the different casinos and hotels in Macau was cool. We get to transfer from one casino to another with the free shuttle buses of the hotel, not to mention free mineral waters in every hotel. People in Macau gives away a lot of free stuff, hehe. Our favourite casinos are Venetian, the new Galaxy and The City of Dreams with their digital mermaids swimming about.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We give the Macau food with its Portuguese influence a four-thumbs up. We love their food. We love their egg tarts, their bakwa and other yummy dishes. If only we can bring a box load of egg tarts and it won't get spoiled.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Getting to know the history and culture of Macau, one must definitely visit Senado Square, The Ruins and The Mount Fortress. I love visiting these spots because it is what made me <a href="http://littlemisshoney.blogspot.sg/2011/03/i-feel-in-love-with-macau.html" target="_blank">fell in love with Macau </a>before, and of course the area near the ruins where vendors would shove free bakwa on our faces. Hahaha! I love it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The last leg of our Asian honeymoon was in Singapore. My hubby was accompanying me back to the place where I am currently residing because of work. It was nice to walk the streets and the places I know in Singapore having him beside me. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Singapore is a shopping city, so many malls and all the signature brands are crawling in this city. We took a stroll in the busy shopping center of Singapore: Orchard. I also made J try my fave Singaporean foods: chicken rice, prawn mee,, bbq chicken wings, etc.</span></div>

We had a jolly good time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">J and I initially have decided we don't want our wedding to be held in a hotel. In search for that 'non-hotel' wedding venue, we found the previously known as Wilfredo's Garden now reintroduced as Sheridan Boutique Resort to be the place for our wedding reception. Then the next step was to look for an event stylist to decorate the reception venue. J's supervisor has friends who does events planning and we decided to give it a try. We met up with these cool people who are behind <a href="http://www.pihostudios.com/" target="_blank">Piho Productions</a>. I gave them pictures of my inspirations for the wedding reception: a lamps, the couples nook and floating lanterns. Ice, the only lady of this talented trio, totally get me by saying, "Ah, shabby chic!" Yeah! That is totally want I was going for. From there, they bounce back with cool original ideas all on their own. I find creativity, personalised touches and simplicity better than expensive flowers, over-the-top lightings and breakable chandeliers. It was fun working with them. They understand their clients and they also empathic & adjust to the clients' budget. Not only are these guys original and cool, they are also very professional and organised. Some wedding suppliers or business people should learn from these guys in how to deal with clients </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">because they convey to </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">their</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> client clearly from their plans, execution and provide itemized details of materials & prices. The clients in turn will appreciate this so much. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">During the wedding day, the set was just what we wanted: laid-back, quirky & so shabby-chic! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Outside the pavilion, a take-you-own-picture photo booth was set up with a big picture frame with strings of pictures of J & me hanging on it. It was my own pink camera & tripod that was set up on the nook. The guest can take their own pictures using the self-timer with their messages on chalkboards provided. It is like our own remembrance from our guests.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Piho Productions decorated the pavilion inside just as pretty as the outside.

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They say the bride is in her prettiest during her wedding day because she naturally glows. I believe that "natural glow" has a lot to do with a fantastic make-up artist sorcery. Makeup Artists today are modern-day magicians. Days before my wedding, my skin was acting up again which resulted in dry patches and blemishes. I had also dark circles around my eyes because I keep staying up late up chatting with my family. But my makeup artist made those magically disappear on my wedding day. Looking for a makeup artist for wedding day is a challenging task. Of course you want to look your best on your special day. Who doesn't, right? My close friend in high school in Saudi Arabia recommended <a href="https://www.facebook.com/norvictotanes?fref=ts" target="_blank">Norvic Totanes</a>. I did a makeup trial with her in Manila and I absolutely love the results. She uses the best makeup brands & tools and is a whiz with an airbrush. She has done makeup for Daphne Osena, Divine Lee and Maricar Reyes. I told her what I want for my wedding day is a makeup that is 'just me'. I don't want to look overdone nor do I want any drastic makeup transformation. And on my wedding day, I was very happy with the result of my makeup. I did two looks for the wedding: a messy up-do with fresh makeup with a glow and a side part do with smoking eyes & plum lips. </span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I personally prefer grooms to wear tuxedos and was happy to know that J also prefers a tux than the traditional barong. The next step was "where" to find a suit of J. We were hoping to look for a good quality ready-made suit. Feeling that our options were limited in Iloilo, we looked for suits in Manila. Every shops J would checked out would make any regular worn-out wallet cry. 80,000?? Really? Until he stumbled into this shop in Glorietta, </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/MergerMen?fref=ts" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">MERGER</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, that makes customized suits for men. It is even promoted by model, Victor Basa in his blog. We ordered a suit in MERGER in a price even lesser than our projected budget. It was such a steal! They measured J and discussed with him what kind of design he wants. Then they added their suggestions based on their expertise. They send the measurements to China where the suits are made. When it is done, it will be shipped back in Manila. Several fittings are done in a case there are revisions. MERGER did a great job in making my husband look hot, hot, hot!</span></div>

This patch was sewn in J right breast pocket of the suit by his mom.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As for me, it was hard for me to think of what kind of gown would befitting for a diminutive gal like me. I was tossing back and forth if I should have my gown long or short. I wanted to feel like a Disney princess with that white long gown though I could easily pass off as Tinkerbell or the green fairy in Moulin Rouge than a real long slim princess. So the option of a short gown is playing into my mind to fit my vertically-challenged deficiency. But I know what I don't want in my gown is that I don't want too much 'burloloy' on my gown. No need for bling-blings or god-forbid, sequins. I also know that I dont want the traditional viel on my face. My poor vision is already aided by a high-degree contact lenses, I wouldn't want to feel like I missed out of my wedding because half of the time I have a blurry vision of my own wedding and half of the time , I am struggling from the humidity of a lacey materiel on the nose and mouth. I wanted a bird cage veil for easier breathing, bigger holes to witness my wedding and for that modern-vintage feel that I wanted for our wedding.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There were so many talented bridal designers in Iloilo, some of which are my friends and acquaintances. It was hard to choose. But J's supervisor mentioned to us <b>Claire Jarantilla, </b>one of the best<b> </b>couturier in Iloilo, who did her wedding gown also. So we arranged a meeting with her. In our first meeting, J and I know we have find the designer for my bridal gown. She listened to what kind of gown I was going for, she was attentive to what inspires me and she gave her creative spin of I wanted for my gown. She was so pleasant to talk to and it was a joy to have her make my bridal gown. She also solved my dilemma of the long-or-short gown and she said, "Lets do both!" I got a transformer gown! Weee! I wore my long gown during the ceremony and it transforms into a short mullet gown during reception time. My friend were surprised how it became short during reception program without me changing gowns. She also made my lovely bird cage. It was so me! i love it! I matched my pretty gown with a bright green Charles & Keith stilletos.</span></div>

Our favourite colors were splash all over our wedding details like our invitations, my bouquet and the men's corsages while we allowed a burst of different colors on the sky to express the happiness that J and I are experiencing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our invitations was made by my very creative friend, Dr. Melissa. She designed and made our invitations all from scratch. She is truly amazing! She is also a <a href="http://littlemisshoney.blogspot.sg/2012/03/february-wedding-abel-mel.html" target="_blank">new bride herself</a> and she too made her own invitations for her own wedding. For those interested, just asked for her contact details in the comment box below and I would gladly PM you her details.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know I have picked a very stressful job. Being a doctor is not easy, not until I discovered another job that is equally, if not more stressful than my job: being a wedding coordinator. The thought of being a wedding coordinator seems like a cute job: you picture J.Lo in the movie, "The Wedding Planner' and you say I got this in the bag. But it is not as easy as it looks. Believe me, i saw with my own two eyes how hard it is to be wedding coordinators. I realized what a blessing it is for the bride and groom to have their own experienced wedding coordinators than just their own very efficient relative to take care of the details. If I would give a gift to the a friend of my mine who will be getting married, I would give her wedding coordinators. It will make hers and her fiance's life way easier. There as so many last minutes details before the wedding that anyone can miss out and your wedding coordinators can point out to you or remind you. Wedding coordinators absorbs the stress of the bride and groom. If I were a wedding coordinator and doing 5 weddings a month, I will be nervous wreck. I don't know how they able to do it. I am amazed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I met Sheryl, our wedding coordinator, before through a mutual friend in a party. We hit it off instantly and when J and I started preparing, she was the first one who came to mind. I guess things really happen for a reason.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/wes.specialist/about" target="_blank">Wedding & Events Specialists or simply WES Coordinators</a> are team heading by She and Jocelyn. Don't let these baby faces fool you because this group know what they are doing. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">J and I booked them to be our wedding coordinators a year before our wedding. We got the on-the-day coordination package.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They are very experienced and has coordinated & planned many successful weddings. They also do wedding & events planning as far as here in Singapore. They are efficient, organised and very knowledgeable about weddings. They thought us about symbolisms in the wedding ceremony and reception program. They thought me to put my bouquet in front my (excuse me for staying this, haha) crotch. They say, "Flower over flower", haha, because it will look got in photos. Even our photographer said the same thing, haha. I guess, its a wedding lingo. Now I know, hehe. Our wedding started right on time and everything went smoothly. Our guests complimented how smooth and non-chaotic the flow of the wedding. They didn't realize how much work our coordinators did to keep it that way. WES Coordinators also wear such lovely uniforms. It shows how professional and serious they are with their jobs. They are polite, never bossy and always have their clients best interest. They want their client to be smiling and wrinkle-free on their special day, just as it suppose to be. They also provided us with an excellent host, a popular radio jockey who kept our reception program lively and fun. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How are you all doing? Are you excited?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know exactly how you felt when your fiances pop the question and placed the ring on your fingers (well, maybe for those fiances who bought rings, i guess). It felt surreal , dazed and sky-high. I went home, with a silly grin my face and happy tears in my eyes. I never know how exciting and amazing it felt to be engaged. It's a nice warm feeling to have a man declaring his love for you and wanting to spend the rest of his lifetime with you. It is a big big step for any man, especially if he does it without you giving him a passive-aggressive attitude (Read: Ai-Ai Delas Alas) or (pathetic) ultimatums. I am not one of those girls who dreams of their wedding day even before they met their man. I don't spend hours surfing on bridal gowns even before the proposal. It came as a surprise to me how giddy I felt of being engaged. And I tell you girls, relish it. It is one of the wonderful surprises of life. I am so grateful that my fiance (now husband) had given me a chance to enjoy our courtship in a step-by-step fashion, no shortcuts. He proposed to me after a good amount of time of getting to know our quirks, foul moods and shortcomings. He did not rush but he didn't dwaddle either. We didn't jump into marriage either after he proposed. We had a good one year and few months to simmer into this exciting state of engagement and had a good time to prepare for our wedding. When I will have a daughter, I would wish for her the same thing. I would want her future husband to court her. I want her to enjoy the company of her boyfriend. I want that she will experience the joys of being proposed and the preparation that come afterwards. I don't want her to be cheated on that like some girls do. Unfortunately, a lot of girls had been deprived of that. Some girls would hurriedly run with their boyfriends to the next judge to get married just like that. Some girls would tell me that they wish their fiancé proposed to them with a ring and a proper proposal instead of "I guess its time we should get married now because we are of age, can you do all the necessary things to get this done?". I wish my daughter can experience the same excitement and fun of being engaged as well as all the other single women because we all deserve it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Being both a bit of an obsessive-compulsive in varying styles and degrees, me and my husband love preparing for our wedding. Of course, it naturally comes with an occasional conflicts of choices but most often, it comes with a perfect collaboration of our wants. The preparation bonds you both as a couple and this is a trial run of the world of compromise of married life. I was lucky enough to have a hand-ons fiancé. He wasn't like other fiancee who lets the bride do all the decisions and wait on the sidelines. It was also a challenge for us to prepare with me working abroad while he would do all the overseeing himself back in the Philippines. But we were a team and we make a perfect team together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> So here are my personal tips on preparing for your wedding of your dreams:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1.<b>SPLURGE ON THE NON-NEGOTIABLES AND SCRIMP ON THE NEGOTIABLES</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Weddings are no joke. It can cost an arm and a leg. Especially now that it has attracted many creatives and turned it into businesses. That why, I guess, you can't also blame others who opted to elope and go to City Hall to be married off. So for you not to get buried in debt way before your marriage has even started, try to choose at least two non-negotiables to splurge on and try to seek for very talented suppliers that can give you a fee that is right for your budget. For us, our non-negotiables are our photos/videos and our catering. Photos/Videos will document this special day and will stand in as our time machine to relive the day we said 'our i-dos". We wanted one of best. Someone who is reliable and well-recommended. We chose <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bordoyphoto?fref=ts" target="_blank">Bordoy Viterbo</a>. He is one of the best photographers in Panay. He is extremely popular especially in Boracay weddings. We were so happy we booked him and his team. He did an amazing job. We are very happy clients. The other non-negotiable is food. We want our guests' tummies to be satisfied and full. We chose Wilson Esperancilla, one of the best caterers in town. Me and my husband might be overwhelmed with everything around us that we weren't able to really eat properly but our guests were super-duper happy with food. It was a joy to see them coming back for more helpings. To balance some of the budget, we looked for talented suppliers that is equally good as those who have made names in the wedding business for number of years but in our own price range. We also asked help from friends to lend in a helping hand in our preparation. My dear friend Mel designed and did all our invitations by hand. My mom and dad also volunteered to take care of souvenirs and our rings. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. <b>BE YOUR OWN COUPLE</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Before starting the preparation, my husband and I discussed what we want for our wedding. We know who we are as a couple. We want it to be simple, laid-back, modern classic but not tacky. We were never traditional but we were never extreme rule-breaker either. We are not into lavish affairs. We don't want our wedding to shout out opulence and utmost elegance that everyone became to stiff and pretends to be so someone they are not. We are chill and bubbly. We are not vulgar or rowdy either. In a hot tropical country and people used to wearing barongs for wedding, my husband wants a tux, so we will give him his tux. Good thing, the entourage willingly oblige to his request too and they all wore tux even in our not-perfectly ventilated church. People expect brides to use the traditional veils over the bride's face and wear glittery gown and white glittery shoes. I did not. I wore a bird-cage veil and a bright green heels. We were told that reception decoration needs expensive fresh flowers that I couldn't even pronounce to exude an air of elegance and classiness but I am not into that. I am happy with a bunch of filler flowers like baby's breath to decorate our reception area and more cutesy crafts to exude a happy mood. Also try to be creative in your programs for the receptions. Insert fun games like we did instead of long string of toasts and messages.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. <b>DO YOUR RESEARCH</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Before committing to your suppliers, do your research. Ask your friends and previous clients of suppliers for opinions. Referrals are the best way to get good suppliers. Remember that the referring parties should have your best interest at hand and not with ulterior motives like say, a commission. The best suppliers we got are mostly from my husband's workmates' suggestions. We were so glad we got the suppliers they recommended. Also go with your gut feeling. We know they are the right suppliers when we met up with them , we felt a relaxed feeling and we know they will take care of the details for us. We felt that with our photographer, my bridal gown designer and our event stylists. We ended the meeting with me and J being excited and looking forward to our wedding day. And truly, they didn't disappoint. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. <b>BE ORGANIZE AND DELEGATE</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When we started preparing, I bought a wedding notebook. We jot down the suppliers we have chosen as well as we are still choosing along with their professional fees, dates of deadline of payments and our deposited payments for reservation. My husband made an excel document for us to update whenever we paid or deposited our suppliers. It helps also to reserved early. Wedding suppliers, the good ones that is, gets booked fast and they can slip through your hands if you don't book them first. Same goes to your church and reception area. I know couples who have a date in mind but failed to reserved the church they want and have to search another church last minute because of this simple mistake. Also do some research on how to get a marriage license. Prepare your birth certificates, baptismal certificates, confirmation certificates and cenomar (certificate of no marriage, usually for the groom only). Take note that these have validity dates. Also you need to a Cana seminar, publish your marriage banns for 3 consecutive Sundays in your respective parishes and have a seminar at the population office. These stage of the prep can be tricky and time-consuming. Also list down your probable guests. Each of the couple should make their own list and compromise on a number of guests. Inform your relatives and friends abroad way ahead schedule for them to prepare too for their leaves and vacation. Also delegate. My husband made me in-charge of the flowers, what to tell the florists is up to me. He took care of the transportation. For music, I chose the church music while he took care of the music for the reception. For all the other things we can't do, we asked help from my amazing cousin, Manang Sheil. My mother and her friend took care of the offertory gifts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. <b>THIS IS A CELEBRATION OF LOVE, NOT A SHOW</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If only I have superpowers, I wish I could fly out all my friends and families who weren't able to come to our wedding because of work and distance. I realize that it really matters that on the most important day of both your life, you have your loved-ones there rather than faceless strangers to make a commentary and just for the free food. That's why I understand why other people would spend plane fares to fly out their relatives and friends with them in their wedding day. Only if we were buck-load rich. *Sigh. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also while some couples get overwhelmed with preparation, they forget that this after all is about love. Some couples get so caught up with impressing other people, they lost sight </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">that the wedding is not about other people but rather about them, celebrating their love for each other. Sometimes when I get frazzled from the wedding preparation, my husband would always remind me, "The most important thing is that we are getting married and nothing else matter". He told me that I shouldn't expect everything to be perfect on that day but it was perfect enough because we will be spending our lives together. Then I smiled. I guess this start of a marriage when someone become your strength when you get weak.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope these tips are useful for you. Enjoy this moment. I felt a bit sad when the preparation was coming to a close. My 'list-maker' in me was enjoying too much of ticking our to-do list in our wedding notebook until I realize that the best was yet to come after the the preparation. Have loads of fun, brideys... Its exciting to be a bride in this generation. So many options, so many new innovative ideas. Best of luck and Best Wishes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For prenuptial shoots, you need three ingredients:</span></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">an excellent photographer</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">an amazing setting/location</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">a brilliant makeup artist/ stylist</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Stir the three ingredient together with a game couple, you got a fun memorable prenup shoot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Me and my fiance are far from models or 'artistas', not even close, haha but it was fun t dress up once in a while and glamorize ourselves for the shoot. I am glad I got a cool fiancé you is happy to do the pictorial unlike some begrudging grooms I know,haha... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To help my transformation from an ordinary dudette into an attempt to be a pint-sized "mow-del" and glamour puss, I need an extraordinary miracle worker to do that. I called on <b>Ira Jucaban</b>, one of the sought-after make-up artist in Iloilo. Ira is a model's favourite makeup artist. His range of artistry is admirable and uses the best makeup products there is for his clients. And yes, my sensitive acne-prone skin didn't break-out the day after the shoot which made me oh-so happy. I wanted to have different looks for several locations. Ira has a talent of revealing to yourself a different persona you never thought you have in you by his makeup talent. Not only is he talented, he is also a lot of fun to be with. I</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">t is fun to have him in your shoot.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-V-BZBhBDkqg/UYYvtaPIUxI/AAAAAAAADcU/uPxP9bM-ZBU/s1600/photo-86.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-V-BZBhBDkqg/UYYvtaPIUxI/AAAAAAAADcU/uPxP9bM-ZBU/s400/photo-86.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ok ok, this book came with a warning. It might have been a bad idea for a girl a weeks shy from her wedding to be reading this. But this is my own version of dare-devilness, so I read it anyway.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have never heard of this book before. But there are certain books that at first glance, it seem to beckon you with seductive whispers to take them home. And I allowed myself to be seduced so I bought it. Reading from the countless praises and reviews from credible critics, this book is a class act. According to critics, this book is much talked about in twitterville and other social networking media for its "awesome-ness". <i>Financial Times</i> said: 'Read it and stay single'. Oppps, isn't it a warning that I should have dropped this book but I keep turning the page instead.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a story of two young married couples and how a marriage slowly disintegrates. It is a tale with two sides in an addicting, page-turning and suspenseful narrative. There will be no spoilers for this book recommendation, don't worry. One thing though, I am not sure that I am happy with the ending. Gillian Flynn is a very talented writer. She knows how to spin, tangle and untangle a plot. She tends to be overly "writer-y" though which shows her depth as a writer but she overly-dramatise a sentence with wordy literary techniques sometimes. But I still applaud her for this gem of a book. It is a worthy read.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The <i>Mail on Sunday said</i>, 'Gone Girl is a book you'll be begging other people to read just so you can discuss it with them'. So my fellow bookworms, read this book, pleeeeaaase! Let me know what you think of it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">An Ilongga doctor in Singapore just recently got hitched with her long-time love in Iloilo. It was nice exchanging thoughts with her of wedding planning and pre-marraige preps a few months leading up to her wedding. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is tough to plan your wedding if your overseas. I am lucky that my fiancé is in Iloilo to handle most of the wedding planning. But if both of the couple are working overseas like Doc Jewel and Joshua, you would need a magical fairy godmother to make your fabulous wedding dreams come true. Enter in the scene, the talented person behind <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Coleccion.Estocada?fref=ts" target="_blank">Coleccion Estocada</a></b>, Doc Jewel & Joshua's very own genie in a spectacular well-designed bottle.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Coleccion Estocada not only designed the bride's wedding gown and entourage but also shoulder the task of being a full coordinator to this beautiful wedding. And by the looks of it, it was pulled off quite well. The bride was glowing and gorgeous. The groom was happy. Everything looks amazing. And everybody had a good time.</span></div>

But I do. I have this supernatural ability of knowing if it's a good book or not by it's cover. But seeing Jodi Picoult's The Storyteller, I know this a good one. And I am right.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I never read any Jodi Picoult's novel. But I have heard and saw a bit the movie adaptation of her "My Sister's Keeper" in HBO. I was enthralled by the movie but unfortunately I wasn't able to finish it and never seem to catch it again in HBO. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Storyteller is a wonderful read. I can't wait for all of you to read it. It's a book with many voices. I feel like kindred spirit with the protagonist, Sage Singer, a shy baker in a small town. She too has a mark on her face that she conceals from inquisitive strangers. While mine is congenital, hers was brought about by an accident. She was told a secret -- a secret she wish she never known. Then in the story enters a lawyer-turned-special-agent, Leo Stein who will help her ease the burden of knowing this deep-dark secret she learned.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I read books, I imagine the actors that will play in the movie adaptation. In this book, I think it should be played by Amy Adams and Aaron Eckhart. I am never a fan of Amy Adams but I think she will fit the part well. As for Aaron Eckhart, he has that charms that will make the Leo Stein character come to life. In this story, Sage Singer works for a ex-nun who I think should be played, none-other-than Amy Adam's constant partner, Ms. Meryl Streep.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Going deeper into the story of Sage Singer's grandmother, a survivor of the Holocaust recounts her memories of the war and her encounters with Nazi soldiers. I never paid much attention during history class about the Holocaust and Hitler. I was like an old story that I don't mind at all. While reading the novel, I wish I paid more attention. I was so affected. I was so moved. I grieved for the victims. It was just not a story. It was in our history and it was real. Genocide is an ugly ugly word. If only that memories can be wipe away with a magic wand like it never happened. I now understand why Audrey Hepburn who also witness those struggling years for the Jews and who also suffered the hunger and restrictions brought about by the war, refused the role offered to be Anne Frank (in the screen adaptation of "The Diary of Anne Frank", a famous diary of a teenage girl during the Holocaust) because it will bring back so many painful memories. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The book is a story of secrets, forgiveness, suffering and new chances. The Storyteller tells stories from different perspective from different characters in the story. Don't be surprise to see different changes of font styles in every chapter to correspond to the character. Jodi Picoult is a gifted writer. She has a lyrical voice on page. She reminds me of our very own, <a href="http://littlemisshoney.blogspot.sg/2011/09/book-review-before-ever-after.html" target="_blank">Samantha Sotto of "Before Ever After"</a>. I can't wait to read more of her novels. I urged you to read this book. It is amazing. It will blow your mind. It will make you think. I am not quite sure if I love the ending. But go ahead and read it, let's discuss... Let me know what you think...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I feel blessed (and my fiance can say the same way too) that we are getting married in the time when wedding videography has upscaled their game. Gone are those boring long-length wedding videos with couples </span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">framed by a </span></span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">digitalized </span></span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">heart. Now the videography is as important (if not even more) as the bride's gown or the cake. Videographers now are the superstars of the wedding. Hence, the same-day edit video in weddings are born. It has became the highlight of most weddings. Videographers would take portions of the nuptial mass, some earlier parts of the receptions, some of the prenup & postnup videos and make it into a </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;">six-seven minutes music</span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">-video-esque of your love story & your wedding. I love it! We love it! These videographers are </span></span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">geniuses, how they can work against time make this beautiful masterpiece that tugs hearts and make even the toughest ones shed a tear. This is a perfect souvenir for the couple to keep and cherish. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was the first same-edit video I have ever seen. I am blown away. It is dramatic. It is poetic. It is breathtaking. It made me tear up along with my colleagues who were watching it with me. It was a beautiful wedding in China. But I couldn't help but glow with pride that the </span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">videographers of Mayad studios are young fellow Ilonggos.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Initially, my </span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">fiancé and I wanted to have a beach reception. We love the beach. Watching this make us dream of a beach wedding. But since hijacking all our relatives to a nice pristine white-sand beach for our wedding seem impossible for us, we decided to settle on a garden wedding instead. But a girl can still dream right? Carlo & <a href="http://catjuan.com/" target="_blank">Cat</a> has the perfect picturesque backdrop for their wedding: Coron, Palawan. Sigh....</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Weddings are fun events. Along with the happy tears, there must always be happy loud laughs and lots of dancing. I know the bride, Christine personally. She is </span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the sister of my good friend, Catherine and she knows how to have fun. Can I say, "Happy Bride, Happy Life". It sets a jovial tone for a start of great marriage. And from the looks of the video, this wedding is one happy fun wedding set in a beautiful Tuscan Villa in California. You can tell everyone is having a great time in the video. I would bet even the photographers and videographers are having </span></span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">a blast. Beyonce and maracas are a playful & perfect touch for the wedding and video. I love how the music played with how the makeup artist dust on the blush on the bride's </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">cheeks and how the bridesmaids & bride ham it up for the video cameras. It's cheeky. It's vibrant. It's quirky.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The day after I arrived in Manila, my sister, my fiance, (not-so) little bro and I planned to have brunch in Legazpi Market however, we are all sleepy-heads and slept-in instead. We just then decided to have lunch at <b>Bananaple</b> in Ayala Triangle. One of our fave food spots too. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bananaple is normally packed during midday especially during weekdays when officeworkers from neighbouring offices head to Bananaple for lunch. We are lucky to secure a table inside to shield us from the angry sun outside.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since this cafe has a name of Banapple, we must have something with bananas or apples in it. We ordered the Banoffe Pie. It is a cream pie with bananas in it glazed with caramel and chocolate. This is a very light dessert for those who doesn't want to have a heavy-on-the-stomach dessert. Unfortunately, I am not much of a fan of bananas so I would rather have the goblin pie than this.</span><br />

<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">A few weeks ago, I went home to the Philippines after 6 months of being in Singapore, to do our prenup pictorial in Iloilo. But before coming home to Iloilo, I made a one-night stop-over in Manila to be with my sister and also to shop for tuxedo with my fiancé. He needs his lady's "expert" opinion. Ha! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">My plane arrived late in Manila at around 11 PM. I was famished and craving for some carbs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">We headed to Bonifacio High Street to find any open restaurants for 4 hungry peeps: me, my fiancé, my sister and little bro.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">We settled into <b>Nolita</b>. My sister has been there before a couple of times. When she was there, she had several celebrity sightings who also comes to Nolita for a taste of their pizzas. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Nolita borrows inspiration from New York by offering customer a taste of New York large slices of pizzas in white paper plates. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">I was too famished to take a picture of how the dark-wood themed, dark lit restaurant looks like. But it was pretty cozy and not pretensious-looking. We ordered 3 types of pizza. My favourite one is the one with a sunny-side up egg on it. There is a signage that encourages us to use our hands when eating. Hehe, I was an eager beaver to comply. Prices of one slice of pizza ranges from P130 to P190.</span></div>

<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">My sister suggested that we order the onion rings that comes in a creamy white sauce. The onion rings I heard are dipped in beer, my sister said. Is that true? We aren't going to get drunk eating these, right?</span></div>

My fiancé wanted to order the honey-garlic wings. And it was a good call because it tasted divine. It reminds us a bit of Bonchon chicken without the rice. It was dripping in oil but we don't mind at all, hehe...</div>

We left Nolita so full with greasy hands but nonetheless, happy and had appeased our hunger pangs and carbo cravings. I will definitely go back for more at Nolitas. </div>
