One of the best things about the church where we will celebrate our wedding is that they only accept 2 weddings a day. Rushing photo shoots will be avoided because you have the whole morning or whole afternoon (till early night).

The number of flowers I like for my bridal bouquet was disapproved (well, by almost everyone). I said I want a long single stem (that’s how I adore simplicity) how about 3? okay maybe 7? Advices are to use only even numbers. I didn’t know there’s another “pamahiin” again about odd numbers.

Right at this moment I am convincing myself that this time of the year is not the right time to finish and do marathon of DVD series like Gossip Girl etc.

One afternoon in the middle of the traffic, I was watching him. He was fixing his mp3 player earphone and checking some playlist. I stared at him and made another silent let’s-see-if-he-really-loves-me. You know – signs and whatnot. Heh. I’ve been doing that since forever – secretly (now he knows… :d

I was just wondering if he will simply put those both earphones on his ears and ignore my existence beside him. I continued to silently observe and wait if he’ll give me the other left side earphone. If he do that, it means that he considers and think of me…

And he did – placing the other earphone to mine and holding me closer to him.

This coming September, we’re visiting my hometown – Naga, Cam Sur. Not on a fiesta date though because all bus and plane tickets are fully booked already. Part of our wedding preps sched is to visit my mother’s grave and his father too before our wedding.

Despite the stress that this month brought – it’s a good sign that we’ve accomplished lot of things like booking the couturier, hmu, coordinators, stylist, final gown designs, wedding website and newly issued birth / cenomar certificates. Invitations and favor designs are almost done as well. Hah. The long sleepless nights and the reality of waking up, bugging and crying at fiance for silly reasons of long to-do list are serious signs of how stress affects my mood turned to crazy 360 degrees.

Most of the churches no longer accept weddings on a Sunday, Thus I’ve decided to declare a no wedding preps on a Sunday as well. It will be our rest day. Today, I spent it sleeping almost the whole morning and watching You Tube vids, DVD series including Gossip Girl.

It was only for the past few months that I have learned to love dark chocolates. I’m a milk girl that’s why. An officemate of mine told me to try the dark ones – so I did. Now I love them for being not sooo sweet! Even though I have colds and coughing – sige lang chocolates pa rin! I used to believe that chocolates is just like cigarette that may relax and give you happiness for awhile but can really be bad for you (imagine the calories!).

But did you know that dark chocolate is healthy?! Marix even told me @plurk – that it is actually a cough medicine! Wow what a sweet happy medicine! It is kinda pricey though than a regular chocolate bar. The cheapest I bought which contains 70% cocoa cost around 80 pesos. Some of my faves are the: Lindt, Swiss, Dove and Hershey. I believe we already have some local version of it from the Goya company, haven’t tried it though.

Below are some of the reasons why dark chocolate is healthy. You can just google for more details:

It is rich in antioxidants helps ward off some of the factors associated with heart attacks and stroke.
Slows blood clotting.
It cuts bad cholesterol.
Suppress the activity of the vagus nerve which causes coughing.
And can give the immune system a boost.

But then again, take it moderately. May calories pa rin yan :d
