DIY: Monogram (batch 2)

I made some changes.

Are these better compared to the previous one I posted? See here.


I tried to have them printed. The 1st one looks so dark....the 2nd one, is much better on print.
I'm wondering, which layout to choose now. Pls. help.

My turn to pass

I loved it! Thanks Sis Janice. :D

Read here.

Thanks a Bunch!!!

We are still ecstatic with all the compliments we received left and right and still increasing from both TEASER and TEASER NO MORE entries I made at WaW forum. Can't believe that was a big HIT. So let me say our bunch of thanks to all our friends for your very very heart warming comments. Our valiant act to do that "karton moments" a.k.a HITCH was all worth it.

And for easy reference, I collected them here.

Thanks again!!!

DIY: Monogram

Weeee!!! This was my very first attempt. Our Monogram!!!
Ofcourse it comprised of our initials J for Janice, A for Adrian and T for Tria. I decided to use just T instead of Tria because for me T seems to bring out more romance. Why? Because J and A is a perfect combination. We fit to a T. Nyahahaha! Sobrang cheesy!! Itulad daw ba sa kanta? *wink*

With regard to the colors I used it's Brown & Fuchsia Pink. Our wedding motif. Actually it should be mocha brown but it seems so pale, so I used Brown instead. I enclosed them with a circle, because round means "no ending". ^__^

Hmmm....Well, Tria is the new lastname I will take 5 months from now. Whew! I'm still getting chills thinking about it. Combination of "kilig" and "kaba". What I am certain about marriage life is that it wont be an easy ride. But we will take each turn, each hump and each slide, with a brave face, with a sweet smile and with a big heart because we will be together as "one".

*toinkz* It much be the rain. Hahaha.

Anyways, can you help me choose which one to use? :D

We were featured at Weddings at Work (W@W) ^__^

I still can't believe it. So overwhelmed by the fact that because of our "daring act" of prenup poses (hihihi) or should I say out of the norm concept of prenup theme, we gathered so many positive responses and reactions and to our very surprise was even featured at Weddings at Work (W@W) newsblog section. W@W is one of the most popular wedding forum/site that Filipino people especially bride/groom-to-be are part of. Ofcourse, I am part of it. So love W@W. Hehehe.

Kudos to h2b. He's the mastermind of this "Hitch-via Karton-moment" concept.
And a bunch of thanks to our photog, Richard Buan for delivering the pictures so well. A and I loved them all.

Here's the screen shot: Link Here.

I will share all the comments I gathered both from the Teaser shot and the Prenup Shots.

Top 10 beauty tips for brides

(i guess it's time for the h2b to contribute something about wedding stuffs... )

IN the past, as full-time beauty editor, I took on hair and makeup jobs on the side to supplement my magazine income. I worked on advertising shoots, music videos and weddings during my free time.

Weddings proved to be the most challenging of them all. I never knew what to expect. But at the same time, working the bridal circuit taught me many things, and the experience is currently helping me put together my own nuptials.

I caught up with two other makeup artist friends to exchange ideas on the dos and don’ts when it comes to one’s big day, and essentially gather tips on how to look one’s best (and most photogenic) on the event that took months to prepare.

Their answers were both hilarious and helpful. I am only too happy to share them with you.

10. “Do not sleep later than 12 midnight even if your wedding is after lunch,” says Barbi Chan, chief makeup artist at Maybelline New York, who has worked with more than 300 brides. “Trust me, it shows, [and] it’s so hard to conceal swollen and tired eyes!”

9. Steer clear of foundation that contains titanium dioxide (a common sunscreen ingredient), as it turns white in pictures. This only emphasizes the importance of making it to your trial makeup session and reviewing the photographs. On that note, “Do not be late or miss your appointment,” says Mayone Bakunawa, a former Estée Lauder guest makeup artist who has been doing makeup for five years now. “If you have to [cancel], inform way ahead of time [as a] courtesy to the makeup artist and her other clients.”

8. Avoid any medical or dermatological treatments like facials, waxing or threading at least a week before the wedding, and never ever the day before. “No amount of makeup can cover burnt skin or an infected pimple,” explains Chan.

7. “Do not drastically change your hair color,” warns Bakunawa. “Asian hair has a lot of copper undertones so if you’re going for a light brown shade, you’d have to bleach first.” Bakunawa recommends going to a reputable salon or a professional stylist. “It will be worth it, otherwise you might end up with orange hair.”

6. Don’t treat your suppliers like hired help. Your makeup artist, hair stylist, photographer and everybody else are there to make sure you look your best, and they deserve to be treated with respect. Treat them right and you’ll be rewarded with a well-made-up face, great hair and amazing pictures (even, possibly, lasting friendships).

5. Avoid unrealistic expectations, at least from the hair and makeup team. “Do not expect us to be magicians or surgeons,” says Bakunawa. “Granted, we will do everything we can in our power to make you the most beautiful you, but you’ll still look like yourself.” So brides, take note: no asking for ‘nose lines’ please!

4. “Do not neglect skin care and ‘leave it up to the makeup artist,’” shares Bakunawa. Chan agrees, having advised many women in the past to take care of their complexions. “Clear, blemish-free skin is the perfect canvas for makeup to go on,” she says. Besides, if your skin is in great shape, you won’t need that much makeup.

3. Try not to stress about the small things. “Brides should learn the art of letting go,” says Chan. “As long as you have your photographer, makeup, gown, and of course, groom, then everything else can fall apart and you will still be the most beautiful bride. Let go and everything will be alright.”

Says Bakunawa: “Stress will manifest in different ways, such as hair loss, dry skin, breakouts, rashes, you name it. And it shows in pictures.”

2. “Your wedding day is just one day, do not expend all your energy and be drained afterwards,” urges Chan. She also encourages couples to focus on the pending marriage itself, and not just get caught up in the preparations. “Planning a wedding is easy, getting married is not. So make sure that you are sure about it—no doubts, no hesitations, because we are talking about spending the rest of your life with this person.”

1. Don’t forget to feed your suppliers. “Do not assume that while we work in the fashion and beauty industry, we do not eat,” expresses Bakunawa. And Chan shares the same sentiment: “Even if it’s just a simple mamon [small butter cake], it really helps a lot!”

Prenup: Hitch

Finally! They are all out!!! Yey!

After the super-bitin Teaser we got from our Photog, Richard Buan, the long wait has ended. I learned about it this morning. However, I was busy the whole day so I pacified myself by taking a short glance on them. I must say, I am well satisfied.

I believe I don't need to expound nor elaborate more how our Prenup happened. The pictures will speak for itself. Bottomline we had a blast! I'm actually eyeing for the post-nup. Hahaha. But A has not yet say his "Yes" about it. Hmm....most likely we'll have one, coz I'm the boss. *wink*

Pa-Hitch!

Feeling sexy.... :P

Behind the scene.... @ NLEX

See A's belly? Sumisigaw!!! Ha ha ha

See that patrol car behind? Yes, there were 3 Patrol cars with Police Officers who tried to stopped us. They just shrug shoulders and smile at us after knowing we are getting married soon! Hihihi. Mga Eskandalosang pose kasi. tsk tsk tsk. ^__^

@ Clark

@ Subic

Jump shot before heading back to Manila. :P

More pics here.

Uber thanks to Richard & Wilma. Ulitin natin! :P

Jez and Dindi, we can't wait for the video.

Teaser

Yes! So many things happened. Activities from left and right plus work.
These kept me from updating this wedblog. Nonetheless, I am really itchy to post this so "keber" if I am here in the office. Hehehe.

Our photog, Richard Buan literally kept his promise that he will give us "A Teaser" of the pictures taken last June 20 from our prenup photoshoot session. It's like ages waiting for this considering it has been only 10 days since that date. Oh, how I really wanted, actually WE really wanted to see the rest of the pictures. It's the waiting period that keeps us so excited. Kaloka. Ganito pala ang feeling. Hihihi.

So here's that TEASER shot. Sorry guys, you also have to wait for the rest. :P



BTW, we also have our prenup video taken that day. Just the same, Jezreel Cruz is still editting it. Can you guys make it a bit faster? Bring those teasers on the table!!!!! Uurrrggghhhh! ^__^

*waiting still*
