I think there should be a written and well-published rule:
"Mind your comments about other people's book of interest. You might embarrass yourself without knowing it"
I had read, and re-read most of the books that I have, especially the ones I greatly favored.
Yep, read and re-read.
And it is a cycle that I enjoy. The most I did was to read all 7 HP books more than twice, the first and the second about 5 times just because the succeeding books took time to be written, I just couldn't get enough.
Imagine what you'd feel about comments I got, if you were in my shoes:
"Oh, that is a good book, you will like it!"
"Oh in which part are you? are you on the *spoiler part* when he did this and that?"
"You just started on that now?! Oh my, hurry up, I want us to talk about it!"
Homaygawd.
if I can only stab you in the face.
I just feel that it is not a glorious thing if you have read a particular book first.
I also think that it is not prestige to be a bookworm, everyone had their own interest here and there. Oh and, if you brag about being a reader, please... mind your communication skills. Mind your grammar. Your punctuation. I hate to see you make mistakes when you brag about reading. Now, that's wrong, let me rephrase. I hate to see you make mistakes when you think that being a wide read is something to brag about.
Disclaimer: not saying I have perfect grammar. But I have perfect teeth to bite your face! Stay away and just let me re-read my damn book!

(My) Our Ever-Changing Wedding Motif
Why did I like it:
Since our wedding will be in February, I chose red. I hope the reason is pretty obvious.
No need to rent a bridal car, our car is red.
Marlon had almost always chosen red roses for me.
A long time ago, I saw a picture of a bride with red roses for her bouquet, and it perfectly matched the dresses of her bridesmaids. The bridesmaids were holding white calla lilies, and I find the photo very nice.
why i changed it:
I find the local red roses too dark.
I saw the set up of the caterer using red flowers and their caption was something like: "traditional set up which SOME couples still like"
JEWEL TONES
Why did I like it:
I saw a picture on the internet and find it nice.
Would give my bridesmaids options for the color of their dress, afterall, they are the ones who are going to pay for it.
No need to rent a bridal car, ours is red and red is a jewel color.
I like colors. I can use the theme: 10 colorful years of our marriage (as previously stated, we are getting married to celebrate our 10th year anniversary)
Why I changed it:
I saw a pic on-line of a silly looking wedding and some prank wrote a caption: "wedding from crayola factory"
a close friend of mine also had jewel-themed wedding recently
PINK and Gray
Why I like it:
Pink is one of my favorite color. Adding gray will mean it is not just the bride's day but also the groom's.
Why I changed it:
Because i saw something better. Here goes:
PINK and Gray and Green
Why I like it:
see pink and gray
I saw a nice pic on-line
I thought, "since there will be flowers, then of course there's green (leaves)"
Why I changed it:
I realized looks dull to me.
PINK AND BLUE (Fuchsia and Navy or Fuchsia and Aquamarine or Fuchsia and Turquoise)
Why I like it:
Pink is for the bride, Blue is for the Groom
Why I changed it:
Seems too high school to me
PINK ORANGE BLUE
Why I like it:
I love extravagant splash of colors
Why I changed it:
Because I saw...
...PINK ORANGE GREEN
Why I like it:
It looks great!
Why I am contemplating if I have to find other colors:
We are 30 something. I find the colors suited for a 3-yr old girl's party. (Which I hope I will have a chance to celebrate, as I only have one kid. Already 4 years old. And a boy.
Oh somewhere in between those colors, I also thought of different shades of PINK"
Why I like it:
The song La Vie En Rose is my favorite love song (for how long I don't know) which means Shades of Pink or Life in Pink.
Why I am not so decided:
If we will chose La Vie En Rose as a theme, might as well serve French Food and have a French inspired decors. But WHY!? We are so NOT french. Haha!
I also looked at yellow (Sunshine - for some reason - was my nickname when I was a kid)
All these, is simply weird.
Did I tell you my favorite color is PURPLE?
** June 6: MAGENTA and LIGHT YELLOW
all female entourage members will be in magenta with light yellow flowers; bridesmaids on tulle, sponsors on lacy cloth-with lining of course, and flower girls g.satin. groomsmen and male sponsors barong with magenta buttonnaire.

Wedding Flowers: Royal Poinciana
Every morning from work, I get mesmerized with the trees' awesome, enchanting blooms and my bus rides were usually filled with thoughts on how to get this as my bridal flowers. "Maybe I can find it in Dangwa..." or "if I pay someone to climb the tree..." or "if I pay the guard/caretaker Php 2,000.00... if he refuses, I can pay as much as 5." or "maybe I can just have a stop over here, on my way to church - ball gown and all, despite the traffic and onlookers, and strike a pose...I'm sure Fidlen would love to capture that" and so on...
I imagine my bouquet, we will put pink bougainvilleas and some green fillers.
Ah, the tree looks like a cherry blossom in orange. It is perfect. Flowers which I truly
I have several months to go before my February wedding, I'm sure with my stubbornness, I will get it!
So I googled it.
Found it!
And lost it ;(
According to wiki, it blooms between March to April here in The Philippines.

Bridal Fair May 4
So we went to the Weddings and Beyond Bridal Fair and there were 2 things that got my attention:
1. Pillowcase Band
I fell in love with the band when I heard them sing. The music was not 'chaotic' to my ears, I mean these guys really belong together. They do not have the song "La Vie en Rose" though (at the time) which I find very unusual because I think that song has been sung a lot in weddings. But they played "Till There Was You" and I was very happy that day with Marlon. :) The band leader was easy to talk to, while talking to him I chanced to glance upon his fingers and I saw the marks of years of playing the guitar - I mean literally his fingertips are just about to explode, man! It was much worse than when I was pregnant and had to prick my fingers for glucose checks, but anyways, while looking at those worn, seemingly abused fingertips, I was just thinking: he really loves to play the guitar, and had a lot of years doing it, this is his passion!
Still waiting for the list of the songs which he said he's going to send, I can't say it is overdue as of yet. I also have not deposited the down payment, he didn't give any bank details and I think he will send it after I see the list of their songs
2. e-guestbook / Photobooth
With this one, I got so thrilled, I truly, want this for my wedding if only it will not take us over the budget. However, I really plan to stick to our budget, and had to read and re-read my "Decision-Making List" just to keep myself from booking them.
The price is 25k, but if you book them during bridal fairs, you get them for 20k. The regular photobooth costs about 5k so it would mean that it will cost 15k above the budget we set for the wedding.
I'm sure the guests will enjoy this if only I can get it. They print it right away, too, just like the photobooth and people can even doodle their messages to their photo and all the files will be given to us in CD form. They can also take care of seating the guests to their respective places because they can display the seat plan. But I don't care much about that because, (1) I only have 100 guests and, (2) I am thinking of seat zoning (people allowed to sit anywhere within their zone, ex: family, friends, etc) Also if I will get them I want them to start maybe 2 hours before the reception ends, and here's why: the 20k package is only good for two hours, of course I don't want them to pack up and have other guests regret they didn't get their picture taken earlier, thinking they have a lot of time after eating.
I am actually prioritizing this rather than paying OTD (that's how much I like it!!!)
We'll see.
Oh... but i have to remind myself to stick to the budget!
Or do I?
LOL
Oh and we got freebies, too.

Some Ideas for our Wedding
PRE-NUP PHOTOS
I really hope that we can instruct Matt, my 5-year old son to take our photographs. That's the best way that I can get him to do something for us in our wedding aside from being our ring bearer. I don't want to have to pay for a prenup venue, I want the photographs to be taken in places that we frequent, like at Northgate when hubby drops me off to work (every single day, even after his own long day at work.) In the memorial park where we our first born son rests. In our house, in our garden. At the mall.
DIY
rose balls, pompoms, invites, save the date cards, map.
CENTERPIECES
i like submerged flowers, i saw on-line how beautiful and elegant they were. Unique, too, in my case I have not seen that in any of the events I have been to. But i like traditional flowers also. Hmmm, yet to decide on that one.
SONGS:
La Vie en Rose - we sing the tune once in a while especially when we are having a good time.
Some Beatles - hubby is a fan and I like some songs, too.
Eraserheads - our favorite!
PHOTOBOOTH (if i will have one)
I want the backdrop to be the whole wedding reception, so it has to be set up at the back. :)
