Maeyo had it all. A maid to do the planning from Pinas. A maid to keep her senses in tact. And a maid to shoot the important moments and plan her shower. Can I have 3 maids on my wedding too? If yes, why stop at 3 anyway? Let’s make it 4 or 5 (6, 7, 8?) Heeheehee!

Okay I’m kidding. Why am I even thinking about maids for my wedding when I haven’t even decided that I want a groom (yet)? Hmm, if I have 8 maids, can I also have 8 grooms? Okay too much. 7 na lang. Hahaha!

Yesterday was weird. Out of the blue, I had a guy friend who called me up (overseas) to ask me about wedding stuff. How much would it cost him to have a wedding with a 250-guest in Tagaytay, etc. He wasn’t the only one. Another guy friend also overseas now, chatted with me and asked more or less the same question. Sure, I’m a target to get general information on these kinds of things because I’m a planner (to the best of my ability), but heck… nagkataon na sabay kse. And it just proves a point I was thinking about the other night. Everyone’s in love except me. Okay, don’t react. I’m sure you’ll say I’m exaggerating and stuff. And of course I am. I’m a girl. That’s what we do best.

So fine, here’s an addendum to that statement. Everyone’s in love… except me and Loida. Hehehe. (nandamay daw? I love you Poidy!)

My prince will come. Just you wait, my 8 maids.

Okay, I’ll go back to being my cynic self again. (Blame this mood on the weather outside).

Finally it’s the last day of July! I’m so happy (and a little sad) that it’s over. So much has happened this last month to name a few:

• Mae & Ariel’s wedding
• Karen & Don’s wedding
• Ariel’s bday party
• Davao weekend getaway
• Maui & Allan’s wedding
• Mhinx bday party
• Reunions
• Parties
• Kainan

And of course, workwise:

• Closed deal w/ CLP
• Closed deal w/ GCI
• Closed deal w/ ZPI
• Closed deal w/ DIP
• Closed deal w/ PAPF

I was hoping that these closed deals would be reflected in my payslip, but unfortunately, hindi lahat naka pasok. Sigh. Sa August pa ako yayaman at babawi sa pag deplete ng account ko c/o July events. In the meantime, I am saying farewell to alot of the Dubai balikbayans who were here for the reunions. I’m gonna miss you guys. Keep in touch ha.

*Shout outs to Maeyo, Ariel, Loids, Liz, Karen, new found friendster Jinky, Dhon ni Geni (kahit di ko nakita), and Beng (kahit di nagpakita).

*Future shout outs (yung mga aalis in a couple of days) to my favorite Kuya and favorite Ate in law, Geni, Don ni Karen, Mhinx, Apple, Maui and Allan.

See you soon guys! I’m so looking forward to it!

===================

If June was about meeting new people, July was about rekindling relationships of my past. I’m excited to see what August will bring…

While updating the look of my blog, I included the portion of wedding bookmarks, because I love reminiscing about past client/friends weddings. And I remembered Anna & Brian.

They were one of the first few non-friend clients who booked Yev ka & Jenne Events. (They were early bookers, though). It was a very memorable event, because it was beautiful and super fun, despite the heavy, heavy typhoon rain named Glenda (which happens to be my sister’s name). Haay so many happy mems.

Today is their anniversary, which is why I remembered them. So here’s a shoutout to them. Happy Anniversary you two! Stay in love always!

Anna & Brian with Yev ka & Jenne Events.
Fun stuff.

My question for the day: What is your reaction when someone close to your heart cut ties with you, for whatever reason?

Do you:
Try to sort it out with the other person?
Say “keber, bahala ka rin sa buhay mo”?
Cry?
Wonder, “what did I do wrong?”
Wish the other person wrong/harm/karma?
Think of what you could do to prevent it next time?
Say, “it’s better this way at least there are no more arguments”?
Good riddance to bad rubbish?
Wish that the person apologizes eventually or make amends, but you yourself, won’t do anything?
Talk negatively about the person to common friends?
Look for a kakampi?
Forgive, even if you don’t understand?

My counter question: What would Love do?

Seems like a really relaxing place. Let’s see if it lives up to my expectations…

I was not a coordinator at all for the Karen-Don wedding (specific instructions from the bride) so I was in the dark of what was going on during the preparation. (They also kicked me out during the debrief! Hahaha!). I still insisted that kasali ako sa traditional team pose with the couple. Hehehe. (less the other Evelyn, who was part of the team, and Jenn’s team)

I must say, I enjoyed myself tremendously as a guest. No stress at all. Ibang iba ang feeling. I got to enjoy the day. Although, unfortunately inallergy ako after the bouquet toss. (Less pictures for me). Buti na lang it was a pretty long event, nakahabol pa ako sa mga kulitan pics after the wedding.

It was so much fun! But Loida tells a much better photo story. Check it out.

Congratulations to good friends Karen and Don!
