It’s crrrrrazy how time flies so fast lately, that it’s been almost 3 months since my last post…And now we’re officially just 83 days away from our big day! Wow. We’re no less excited, but really, somehow just a bit more anxious than usual hehe.
I would now fondly reminisce the past months as our birthday months since me and Cat have been successively born on August and September respectively. BTW, we’re both Virgos, and yes we’ve come to take things easy, avoiding scourging ourselves from needless worry and obsessing on unnecessary detail.
Speaking of taking it easy here are some of the past months’ highlights:
August
Besides finally booking our reception, August has been particularly memorable because we both became first timers on two different things – Lea Salonga’s musical, Cinderella and the Eraserheads Reunion Concert.
I’d have to admit, it was only my first time to watch a real musical, to the amusement of my veteran broadway enthusiast fiancee hehe. But I was no less lucky it had to be a world class act, Lea Salonga, that would baptize me into the world of theater musicals. Cinderella was an excellent show, and we watched it on it’s last day, which also happened to be my birthday =) (thanks again for the treat hun!)
We actually didn't know then that the artwork behind us was a 50ft long charcoal drawing by my good friend CD (which happens to be our prenup stylist too)
Hunny's maid of honor, Risa, was also with us to enjoy that splendid evening
And on the other side (of musicals), the Eraserheads Reunion Concert was perhaps Cat’s eventful baptism into the world of sweaty, ear-splitting, rock concerts – which was more of my turf, being able to front in various stages in the past with my band. Thankfully, despite the show being cut short, we enjoyed every minute of it (and hours of waiting), simply being part of history.
Hun and me together with my siblings, Boom and John, my bro's wife Weng, and long-time friend and fellow Eheads fan, Nemcy.
It was the only show that mattered to 40,000 people there that night.
I personally designed the shirts we wore on the concert, along with perhaps hundreds more who got it (you can still get them here).
September
Moving on just a few days after, Hunny celebrated her birthday on the 1st week of September, having a fabulous buffet lunch with me at our favorite hotel, and later on that evening, a hearty hot pot dinner naman with her folks at Boni High Street. We fooled around a bit in the area with his bro til the late evening, and all I can say Cat’s been a happy camper these past months she’s been able to stay out really late (which she doesn’t get to do often, if not at all).
Enjoying lunch. Wala munang diet-diet!
Eating again. Are you ready to cook, birthday girl? ^,^
Ubos ang Mini hotpot. With Cat's family. Tremendously filled.
We also attended the Wedding Expo at PICC as hun blogged, visited our suppliers and making some important decisions in the process. We’ve dropped the idea of having a band other than our strings ensemble, and visiting HK for our honeymoon (we figured we need a lot of rest). After all, it’s either Bora or El Nido waiting for us after the date =)
