Review: Jamsy (Lights and Sounds)

Posted on by

I think I would let the pictures speak for themselves for my review on Jamsy. All photos are raw unedited photos from Dino Lara, save for the added text.

 

As for the Sounds part, we only had one technical problem with our Sounds. Hubby and I were about to start our performance and I was about to make some spiel on our first song. The mic given me however, refuses to work. It took a minute or so to get the emcee’s (Ingrid) mic. It was great from there, however. Apart from that minor problem, everything sounded real great!

one month, a new header

Posted on by

Funny how days can just slip and fly by and then wham! Before you know it, it’s been a month after your wedding.

Thirty days after our dream wedding in Caleruega. Almost three weeks since we flew back here in Yokohama. Luggage yet to be unloaded and the library and bedroom are still pictures of chaos. Fortunately, because we pushed through with our housewarming a week after we came back, living room, dining room and kitchen are in some sort of order already. There’s still more that’s yet to be done though.

Thirty days! And I guess it’s high time we replace our header for one that we had from our wedding. Since our blog’s launching, we had been using this picture from one of our prenup last September in Minato Mirai, Yokohama with our friends-officemates-photographers Russell Olaguer and Douglas Cataylo.

 As with the new phase in our life, time to change our header as well.

Thank you much Russell for the great pictures! Sa uulitin! 😀

Rustic-travel themed wedding guest giveaways

Posted on by

Hubby and I wanted guests wedding favors that covered both the rustic and travel aspects of our theme. And well, katsa (rustic) bags (can you get any more “travel-ly” than bags??) certainly did fit the bill!

But we want it personalized.

With the help of a co-w@wie Anna, who designed our cartoons for us just in the nick of time, we had our cartoons silkscreen printed on the katsa bags.

Credits!

  • Cartoon design by Anna Bonnevie
  • Giveaways tag design by Lene Dee-Dragon
  • Printing coordination, twine wrap and tag fringe edge ideas by Erika of Detalye

And oh. I wanted to use our cartoons as a stamp on our postcard thank you cards that we’ll be sending our guests. Customizedesigns did give us freebie stickers but the number of sticker cartoons we have is obviously much less than the number of guests we need to thank for. I tried to edit our cartoons to put some stamp border on it using Photoscape but my computer just freezes over whenever I try to attempt to edit it. After almost a day’s attempt, I had an output. But far from satisfying. I emailed Anna what she used to obtain the same stamp border as our cartoons for our giveaways. And I should have expected – Photoshop is the answer. But what I didn’t expect was the attachment that came with the reply. Anna revised our cartoons and gave me four options for our stamps.

Hubby was so surprised when I just suddenly exclaimed, “wow, Anna is such a nice person!!” when I read Anna’s email. True, Anna is one of those persons I have encountered that would make you say, “People are intrinsically good”.

Thankful for the blessing! 🙂

Burberry Sport

Posted on by

Atsushi and I are nowhere near sporty. But we want a “couple” perfume and so, among the number of selections we had, we finally selected Burberry Sport. Funny in that even when we’re not sport buffs, Hubby and I both love our Burberry Sport individual scents as well as each other’s scents. Love its black (man) and white (woman) packaging as well. Just perfect.

If there was one thing I envied Hubby with during the wedding preps, it was that he had a much better location for his preps. Ergo, better shots background and better lighting. Look, his perfume even had a better pictorial than my perfume! haha. I am so glad though, that my intentions of having a beautiful wedding as a gift to hubby has pushed through. 🙂

On Dino’s blog, at last

Posted on by

During our wedding preps, in the same way that I have consistently mentioned Dino here in our blog, I probably couldn’t count already the number of times that I stalked Dino’s blog. And with every visit, as I admire the pictures of other couples, I dream and yearn of the one day when finally we’ll have our own.

And today, we finally saw our share of pictures.

 

Happiness.
