Hachinohe

The FEED Phase of this project found us seatmates in 34th Floor South Wing of Queens A. If not for that, it would have taken longer for us to find each other. I say “longer” because I believe that eventually, we will still find each other. But then again, I think, that that time when furtuitous events led us to being projectmates and seatmates has been the perfect time that we have been praying for.

EPC is now underway for this plant. Hope it’ll be a very productive phase this time, as it has been in the previous phase.

Moving in

Posted on by
Hubby has just moved in to our new place! Piles and piles of boxes for now; with a box or two somewhere for my books and coats that I brought with me last month.
When we were house-hunting a month ago, we looked for a sunny place. And indeed we got one! Both the living room and dining area have access to the veranda which faces the east. The sun also comes streaming in on our bedroom window. Lovely. The library on the other hand faces the west and it might be lovely in the afternoons. (I think, haha. we didn’t get to see it during sunset) Although probably it might not be as sunny as the other rooms which is just as good since it would house all our books.

bedroom!

Kudos Hubby, good work! =)

I inquired at some invitation suppliers this afternoon at neighboring malls for printing services of our save-the-dates. On one supplier, she was asking for some samples of what I wanted. She used the word “mock up”. The engineer me heard “mark up” and was thinking of P&IDs. Hence the engineer me got so confused why she was asking for mark up. hahaha!

Couture and Reception Venue

Posted on by

Yey! Two other major suppliers booked yesterday and today. By booked meaning not just pencil-booked anymore but that we were able to make the necessary downpayments already.

Happy with Ville Sommet, for our reception. This place was Hubby’s first choice (because of the very nice scenery, he says) and my second choice. My first choice was Splendido for three reasons: it’s cheaper, less hassle because the caterer is in-house (I don’t have to go about food tasting with accredited suppliers) and I heard that food is good. However, Splendido is already booked for our wedding date. Thankfully though Ville Sommet is still open for our wedding date, so, hurray! I laughed out loud as Kat commented “Para kang reyna dito Marj on your day”. The weather on the day we made our ocular visit was quite gloomy. Yet still we were charmed with the place! The pictures we took didn’t quite give the place justice though.

And this afternoon, I visited Patricia (Richie) Ortega-Torres’  workshop where I was entertained by her very accommodating assistant, even giving me swatches so that I’ll have some idea of the fabric that Richie will use on my gown. Got my measurements as well. Diet na to!!! =D

Richie Ortega-Torres

Finally, I had my wedding gown designs!! These are by Richie Ortega-Torres. When I saw her creations on the internet, I fell in love with them. And when I met her, the two of us just hit it off; the two of us instantly connected and established rapport. That connection turned out to be priceless I guess; I tried to contact 2 other designers but I lost heart to them because they didn’t have the professionalism, bubble and openness that Richie had with me.
Help me out on the decision-making, will you?
