Color Your World

"Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world.

Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak.

Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor,

and your picture begins to lighten up."
- Allen Klein

Got these beauties during the One Cebu Expo held a few months ago.

Would you believe I got all three for less than Php 200?

I was never fond of wearing earrings because my ears get easily irritated, whether it's genuine or just fashion earrings. But because of my profession (and yes, age), I guess I have to dress up appropriately. And that would necessarily have to include accessories such as earrings. I always don the fresh water pearls that my parents gave me on my birthday. Lately, I tried wearing my other earrings. Last weekend, I had the chance to visit a popular fashion jewelry designer since I was within the vicinity of her shop. And I could not resist buying these two pairs since I got them on a very good price. It is wise to buy in her shop because there are items that are on sale. I'll definitely visit her shop again if I have the time (and extra moolah)!

Getting Married?

Yesterday, I was browsing through my clearbook of wedding stuffs. "Stuffs" would mean the contracts with different wedding vendors, the receipts and the most dreading computation of the wedding budget.


Out of curiosity, I summed up all our expenses to see whether we were just within our estimated budget or not. True enough, we were 'just within' the budget.


So how did we do it? For me, the most crucial part of the wedding preparation is the budgeting. Patience is the minimum requirement for one to surpass this challenge.

Here are some tips that I would like to share to would-be couples who are planning on getting married:

1. Research. Internet is one of the most convenient way of knowing who's who in the wedding industry. A lot of wedding suppliers have a website or facebook fanpage where they showcase their works. Know the contact details of the supplier and dedicate some time to read the reviews or comments.
2. Ask around. Once you have a few wedding suppliers in mind, then it is time for you to ask around. Ask your friends, friend's friends, officemates, etc. If you are lucky to have a wedding coordinator-friend, might as well give her a call.
3. Attend Bridal Fairs. At least once a year, a bridal fair is organized where one can get discounts and freebies once booked. We were lucky to attend to bridal fairs, where we met our photographer and videographer. We also got our photobooth from the bridal fair. Even if you are months and months away from your target date, it is best to pay these fairs a visit so that you can talk to as many suppliers as you want, get their brochures for future references and if you like what they have offered, book right away to avail of the discounts and freebies.
4. Compare. Don't just settle for one particular wedding vendor. Canvass, canvass and canvass for some more. Don't be scared or ashamed to keep on inquiring for their "best" price (Best means, the best negotiated price). See what one supplier can offer that the other cannot for relatively the same price and see what works best for you.
