Let's Get Inspired and Tie The Knot

I don't know what has gotten into me that I have been endlessly browsing the web for wedding ideas.Maybe its just because of the wedding I am doing for someone or because I am simply overwhelmed by the wonders of  every details that make one real magical and unforgettable. Just by how the photos deliver each sweet treats on that special day of people I do not even know makes me feel twice as excited for my very own. But that would still be a long road ahead so I resolve to feeling the same excitement for this wedding I'm organizing for a special person. 

Browsing through tons of wedding photographs around the web gives me chills. It's like I want to do and create everything from scratch. I know that's so ridiculous not to even mention impossible to do for a one-woman-team like me. But I have trust issues when it comes to crafts and designs, you know. I'd rather do it myself than rely on somebody else and end up not getting exactly what I want. But of course it is so not appropriate on big events like weddings so I really need to find utterly creative people who can create the ideal wedding I want for them. No, scratch that. I mean the Bride and the Groom's ideal wedding. Let me share some wedding ideas that will surely blow your mind and melt your heart as it did for me. Delight y'all!

 Don't you just love the retro feel in these? That's a nice color palette, gray and yellow!

so romantic and classy! See more from here.

 I like rustic-themed/ country wedding. I admire people who can make backyard wedding look classy and elegant and not cheap. It also gives you the laid back feeling of just enjoying the moment  with friends and family. It's not that I dislike grand ballroom type of wedding, it's just that I don't like the feel that it is more intimidating than being warm and cozy to you and your guests. Also, sort of grand Victorian-like weddings are getting more and more usual.  Unlike with this, you also get to be hands-on on every detail, being crafty and all that. Besides, half the fun of having events is the preparation and how you managed to participate on every phase as the big day comes. 

I also like this stripes-inspired wedding. Breezy, cool and casual. More like a Sunday tea afternoon kind of wedding.

There's just something in navy/sailor inspired anything that draws me. Be it on clothes, home ideas, kiddie parties and even wedding!

To a more classy and formal beach/sailor inspired wedding! 

So feminine. Classy and sweet and dainty. A little retro-ish too! 

Aww. Lighthouse. LOL.

Simple and beautiful.

Nice angle there. 

There's also something about white wedding that is so adorable and plain breathtaking. It kind of gives you the impression of sincerity and brilliance. Crisp. Stunning. Moving.

Don't you just love that ceiling detail? 

 What better way to end it than little sparks? Fireworks are overrated. 

I really am happy to be doing this wedding. If it's still not obvious yet, I'm treating it as my very own sans the money, lol. How I wish I have a sister to do this for me on my own time. The problem with having so many different beautiful and utterly creative ideas is having a hard time deciding which to choose. It's always my problem. Well, technically not really for its not mine to decide upon, but still. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed what you saw and read. Until next time!

Bisou!

In my desperate attempt to awaken (if it's still there) the long abed creativity in me, I randomly search the web for something unfashionably interesting. In return, I usually get this sudden rush of interest to create my own version of whatever that keeps my attention span at hold. However, no matter how intense the fervor it brings it seems that it is still not enough to jostle me to actualize these projects. Nevertheless, let me share them to you and you might just get inspired likewise.

I stopped sketching and designing back when time is a luxury in college. I haven't resumed yet so I guess this is what resulted. Constantly goggling for a daily dose of these incredibly conceptualized gowns and dresses.

I would really love to have a dresser like these in my future home! This really made me drool over and over every time I look at it. So vintage-ish, so creative!

thefancy.com

I am a sucker for home ideas. This is where I get my sudden itch to renovate and redesign my room or a part of our house (mom is so cooperative!) again and again.

I specifically love these two! I feel like they are easy I can do them myself. Or maybe just the picture at the right. Nonetheless, they will be in my future home that's for sure!

thefancy.com

They may seem out of this world but they do exist and I am dreaming that somehow before I die I get to see these places.

I am such a masochist that I would spend hours deliriously looking at these sweet treats no matter how I badly crave thereafter.

Been browsing on random wedding ideas and I stumbled upon this Harry Potter inspired wedding. Genius, well done!

So that's just it for now. Those were just a little bit of everything I fancy. For more, you might want to visit this: ticklishrumbles.tumblr.com. 

Bisou!

Pig-out Friday

The title sounds so not me, lol. Atleast it doesn't show.

Since last year I have been eyeing Midnight Mercato in BGC. I really wanted to visit the place since it's all about food and feasting. However, Midnight Mercato only opens weekends at 10pm until the next day hence the name. Having a curfew recently swept away my chances of trying it out. That's really sad. And because I can't get over it, Jay suffers a lot from my constant raves about my disappointment. So I guess that's how he found out about another way to shut me up.

He's been asking me to try this instead. This is much earlier than Midnight Mercato and operates on weekdays. It opens at 8pm until the 7am the next day. And as it is shown above, it has three different locations on different dates. It opens is Libis during Tuesday nights, Wednesdays and Thursdays behind Robinson's Forum and Friday nights at Megatent in Ortigas. 

But still it doesn't agree with my curfew! So our plan has been cancelled several times before I get to finally try it. Thanks to an evening interview I got an excuse to stay out late. lol Jay went with me to Eastwood last Friday for an interview not having any plans afterward. Suddenly it came to me that Banchetto operates in Libis and I thought it is during Fridays. We desperately searched for the tents, badly starving. Having no luck finding anything Banchetto, I checked the info again and found out Fridays are for Ortigas Megatent!  Fail. BUT I REALLY WANNA TRY IT SO LEZGO. Took the cab from Eastwood to Ortigas (it's traffffffic!)

and ta-duh!

I swear my jaws dropped the instance I laid eyes on these heavenly treats! Gaaaaaah. Thank you I do not know diet.

 I took a lot of photos of puto bumbong and bibingka because I was so amazed how it is being cooked.

 PIZZUHHHH.

 UGH. <3

I. went. crazy. We spent half an hour deciding which to eat. I think the hunger subsided the moment I saw foods everywhere. From inihaw to thick slices of pizzas, cakes to shakes, puto bumbong to kimchi and I tell you the list could go on forever! I just didn't know which to order! If only I have enough room in my tummy to fit all there was I swear I could have bought a little of everything! That's the problem with me, you know. I am so takaw-mata. If not for the limited time I have, maybe hours would pass without me being able to decide on which to buy. These were the ones that finally ended up on our table:

 Mango-carrot and Mango-Banana Shake

 Thai Rice. YUMMM!

 Isaw

 Tonkatsu Sushi

 Chocolate Mousse

Blueberry cheesecake! All time fave cheesecake. 

Food Coma. I honestly wanted more. I just wanted to rest for a while and start munching again especially one of those thick slices of monster pizza and every flavor of cake and sweets available, really! But oh well. We have to head home already, it was almost 11 in the evening and I just said it was because of the traffic that's why we're not home yet. heeeheee. I just bought my mom a bibingka :). 

As to the value of foods, they are so affordable! But if you are like me who wanted to eat everything, that's another story. Because there are a lot to choose from and almost everything is an eye candy, you might get to spend more than your budget. So choose well. I suggest you stick with your budget and be sure to just buy what you can consume. With regards to the ambiance, it was okay. It's not air conditioned tents unlike in Midnight Mercato put up in a parking space between Renaissance Blgd. and DepEd along Meralco Ave. So don't wear heels. Expect smokes all over because grilled foods are everywhere. Other than that, you're good to pig out just like what we did. 

Pay it a visit and you'll love it there!

Current Read: The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I have been on the look for this book for a couple of years already and to my dismay it's always sold out. Everywhere I go, this book isn't available. Until I lost all hopes and tried the net for a copy. I jumped up and down when I was able to download it for just 3 minutes but sadly I did not read it at all. I tried, believe me but I guess e-books aren't my thing. My eyes couldn't stand the long hours of reading through a screen. They get strained from scrolling down so if I don't wanna be crossed eyed I have to stop.

Apparently, just yesterday as we we're checking for the Game of Thrones book set in Fullybooked Glorietta, I came across the new cover of The Perks of Being a Wallflower! I was already holding two magazines and I didn't think twice to let go of the JOHN LLOYD (my jologs self's all time crush) cover of this month's cosmopolitan issue promising myself I will get back to it some other day. Grabbing the book and another magazine, I rushed to pay for them before I get guilty for making a hasty decision yet again. I am overjoyed, honey! So, see you later can't wait to start on it! Bisou!

SaturDate

Jay was really weird since last Friday when he told me to dress up and we'll go out on a date today. We always go out and pig out but we never really call it a date (it gives me chills, lol). So I was pestering him all the while for yet another of his antics. I'm blogging about this because this is a first!

This day is really for running an errand for my volunteer wedding work until his big joke. The night before he asked me to check on this restaurant in Tomas Morato (I'm not telling you until I try it first) and see if I wanted to visit it after we're done with my task. We came to the office for my errand a little past 12 so we had to wait 2 more hours since it was close for lunch. So what to do? You've guessed it right--pig out! Headed to Shakey's for lunch, burned 2 hours feasting and chatting. We went back to the office only to find out there are requirements to accomplish before I get what I need. Great. It was past 3 in the afternoon and I still have to be back home before 9. Curfew, honey. 

Goodbye restau, not today. Sad. 

So we just ended up having ice cream to compensate for a scratched itinerary. And guess what? Epic fail yet again on putting an order. I hated my choice of flavor!

I ordered a scoop of raspberry sorbet and another of strawberry cheesecake. The latter was fine while the former sucks. It's so sour! I guess my risky choices didn't work again. Smile na lang nga!

And as usual, he ordered better flavors again, as always! 

 Pralines and cream and I don't know the dark one on top. 

I still love you Haagen-Dazs so please don't hate me for hating one of your flavors. And oh, at least please serve some water. 

I was sweet-sick I craved for Bonchon but still too early for dinner. Just went walking around Greenbelt and Glorietta hunting for the game of thrones book set just to disappoint me even more. Oh well. We ended up Saturdate me satisfying all my food cravings for the entire week: ice cream, BonChon and Mogu mogu. So, thank you! As for his reason for calling it a date? It was because he wanted to wear his new shirt. That's just it. WT...? kfine.  I might just buy you more polos for more dates! hahaha

Sailor Pants

Uhuh. It's low res, I know. So just bear with it for the mean time, ok? I still like what I wore today, anyway just because I am going gaga over that sailor-inspired pedal pants I got from Girlshoppe! Plus the fact that I am wearing wedge. Big deal, yes. Ever since I could remember I never really wear heels nor wedges when going out (school and formal events excluded). For one, it is because I am already tall (or so they say-- I believe I'm average) and most of my friends are either just my height or shorter than me. Second, and the very reason why I wasn't a fan is that I am slim. Putting that together I have grown the idea that wearing heels will only make me look  like a walking stick. But then again, recently I'm starting to push envelopes. I have been contemplating over buying one to start on it for quite sometime. So hear ye! I'm finally wearing it almost every chance I have. Do I stumble and fall in that? No. That wedge I'm wearing is super comfortable and light! Think of the weather today and yet we went conquering the streets of Quezon City and Makati in that. I survived!

Struggling Artist

So. I have been thinking how on earth would I incorporate my love for dressing up (and down) in this blog of mine without having to make this site look like it is owned by some incredulous narcissist. So I thought of having a specific day to post some of my favorite outfit worn either on a casual went-outs, on an event or just at home doing some experimental mix and match (which I do most of the time when I'm bored). I will try  to religiously update on this. Now I have a reason to not be lazy on managing this blog for whoever's sake. Delight!
