So ever since Charisse and I decided to go full time on our wedding coordinating/planning business, most days are now acceptable, well as long as we're free. Meaning we get to accept not only weekend weddings but weekday weddings as well (believe it or not, some people want to get married on a monday). Hence the time has also come for us to hire new events assistants albeit just part-timers.
So if you're interested in events planning, or just love weddings, and has good communication and interpersonal skills, drop me a line here or send your resume to em.deguzman@gmail.com. We accept college graduates and even college students (as long as you're 18 and above). Pay is on a per day/event basis. We cannot guarantee that your feet won't get sore, but we do guarantee that your meals for the day are on us and that you'll have an interesting day (because believe it or not, most Filipino weddings are a combination of fun, wacky, interesting and human personal stuff).

A first date everyday
Just watched 50 First Dates again and I remember how much I "aaw-ed" in one of the scenes where a character pointed out that Adam's character makes Drew fall in love with him every single day - sabay siko to her husband and saying he's an asshole for not doing the same thing. Haha
But the truth is, you don't need Adam's characters antics to make your other half fall in love with you everyday. Of course he needs that as Drew doesn't remember him, but for normal memoried couples like most of us, we don't. All we need is a little down time with each other at the end of each day. Sh**. i'm too mushy these days.

Me and Us
Just a few realizations from the past few days (which are in bullet points as i type them as they come to me. So please bear with me as some may be incoherent and most might not make sense at all):
- the minute you get married, the "i" cease to exist and is in turn replaced by "our." this includes most decisions, especially life-changing ones
- my dreams take the backseat to our dreams
- these are perhaps the main reasons why it is better to enter into a relationship as a "whole" person, and not go into one to "complete" yourself
Not to worry, all is well in the homefront, its just conversations with friends let me see these things. I'm not saying that what i want as an individual do not matter anymore because i'm part of a couple. Its just that somewhere along the way, of our 2 years marriage and almost 7 years relationship, i've decided that its more important for both of us and our relationship to "grow." that instead of considering me myself and i in every decision, i have to consider us. That my husband has a say in my life and i have a say in his.
Perhaps a testament to how i've matured in this relationship is a few years ago, if hubby asked me to give up my job for my family, it would've resulted into a big fight about my career and my money. This year, the same question resulted into quiet consideration - of our money, our future and our family. Yes i loved having my own career and of course my own money, but this time, i'm choosing something much more important for me, for us. Perhaps my decision would've been different if we were able to get pregnant in the past 2 years. But we didn't. So now i choose to take a break and give our little family a chance.
Hopefully, some guys also realize that our lives do not stop with loving our jobs and building a career for ourselves. Most of the time we have to stop and think that we may be losing the persons we are working hard for. Consider your optiions. And please stop with my decisions, my want, my needs.

iPad addict
Before, i don't understand the ipad. I find it too big and bulky for reading books, surfing the net, and all the stuff it promotes to do. I do all these things using my iphone and i'm satisfied with it, not to mention its a lot smaller and easier to carry.
Well i'm obviously eating these words right now. Last christmas, hubbytot gifted me with an ipad for my birthday and its an understatement to say that i'm hooked/addicted to it. For a lazy person like me who finds booting up the laptop so much of an effort, ipad's easy access and no boot up function is loads better. It also doesn't hurt that i can use it to do almost everything i use the laptop for, namely: check emails, check facebook, read ebooks, surf the net, and now, blogging.
Yes i can still do all these things in my iphone but the ipad's waaay bigger, thereby its more comfortable to read ebooks, etc.
Not to mention that i can read my ebooks on it even while hubbytot's asleep.

The Jane Austen Book Club
So its been quite some time sine i last posted he. And a lot has happened since then. And i mean A LOT.
Anyway, just to update, Last saturday saw the first ever meeting of our jane austen book club. Held at starbucks at the edsa shangri-la mall, there was supposed to be more of us but only three eventually made it: me, ria and coni: another fluff and an old english blockmate. First novel was northanger abbey, jane's first novel.
Well, we didn't like it. And while we started the discussion with northanger abbey, it eventually gave way to our favorite austen books, namely: sense and sensibility, pride and prejudice, and persuasion - all of which we discussed in great detail, considering both novel and movie versions. We decided that northanger abbey was too "hilaw" and too naive for our taste. The upside of the meeting was the schedule of the next books were also decided. Up next is another hated novel, emma, then mansfield park, then sense and sensibility, pride and prejudice and persuasion. You can say that we saved our favorites for last.
Hopefully i can make it to the meetings, considering that i work mostly during the weekends now.
