MNL Adjustments: have to wait, wedding preps 1st

Man, it's been so long since I updated this.
Thanks so much for the people who do visit the site and leave comments. I super duper love yah all - especially Malou, Cris, Steph, and Michelle!

I'm still struggling with coming back and meeting suppliers left and right.
This wedding is going out-of-control with the guest lists. I'm wondering how I'll be tackling the seat arrangement. Ed and I totally want to get over with this asap! :P There are a few more people we need to still set-up meetings with but so far we are done with the: priest (super duper nice and totally a character), misalette (finally - are much back&forth between our priest and SAC), invites (distributing), coordinator, entourage fitting (done and will have some alterations), cake (meeting again next week), bridal registry (registered and it was great making a "wish list"), got my RTW wedding cord (super nice ~ PM me if you want the info), mom's dress (coming along very very well), arrhae & other wedding items (ordered ~ PM me if you want the info), MOH (layout & number of guests - still working on this) and neckties for entourage (distributed).
I can't wait to wear my gown...oh, I need to pick it up in HK by next week. Yes, I'm flying back for a few days for my gown. :P This is really going down-the-wire! So far, 20 days to go ~ I'm so counting the days.
**For those W@Wies who will be going to this year's Xmas Party - I shall see you there! :D

I can finally post my SUAS layouts. It was totally tough to keep consistent mojo for these layouts. I know there were times when I just wanted to stop...but what the hey...oh well. All item are in the SUAS megakit unless stated. :) This is my very first digital contest. :P

Week Two: Pattern Papers
Journaling: The sweetest moments in my life are pieces of random thoughts and visions that stimulates the senses in my head like the delectible flavors of a drink, the oriental motif of mom’s robe, the addicting embrace of a boy, the festive colors of mosaic tiles, the fragrant scent of flowers, the melodic laughter of a child, and many more...all of these things are tattooed on my mind to be remembered and savoured for years to come.

Week Four: Color
Journaling: Whenever Christmas holiday season rolls around, I go all out “nuts” for a Starbucks’ gingerbread latte, which sadly comes only once a year. I go through the whole year..without it and somehow my body knows its about time. I start smelling nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla round me. I would look for it...think about it...it’s a really bad case of “gingerbread withdrawal”! It doesn’t matter what the heck I’m doing - the all important objective is to have that RED cup of java in the palm of my hands. The drink is like a big warm hug wrapped in a nice RED Christmasy cup - making me remember wonderfulwinter memories in Vancouver - RED stockings, striped RED and white candycanes, RED Santa costumes, Rudolph’s RED nose, etc! And let's face it: ginger and spice are delicious. I could eat them year-round!But, alas, by January the gingerbread latte disappears yet again. Every season I await for its return. Its appearance on the specials board is a better harbinger of the season than the weather or the opening of Christmas display. And every season, I mourn its passing...

Week Six: Anything...what's next?
Journaling: I am looking forward to see two years of hard work, meticulous research and careful decision-making in one special day - the day my soulmate and I would finally tie the knot.Notes: This to me is my own change soon (new challenges, new beginnings)...to later have kids to share the wonderful world, I grew to love and enjoy all through my life - to teach them how to preserve it in all its beauty and glory.
