On my own...

Today, I did something that I think I can be proud of, because it is not often that I do this. I am in the final days of my vacation leave and since I am feelin’ a lot better than the past week I decided that I shouldn’t let this day pass without accomplishing something for my still long but maybe not really alarming “to do list”.

Binondo...
In Binondo where I am supposed to inquire for the printing of birthday invitations for Lola Orang’s birthday celebration. Unfortunately after walking for almost an hour, I cannot seem to find the street which I am looking for. Well, it is partly my fault, I never asked for any landmark anyway because I believe that I will be able to see it easily, but my guess is wrong. So ended up goin’ to SM Manila. Which I think was a good idea because since I am waiting word from my fiancé if he could get away from his office so we could attend the afternoon session of the seminar so we could process the marriage license, waiting there would be a wise thing whatever the answer maybe because if the answer should be :

1. “No” I can easily walk towards the LRT station going to Araneta Ave. to the office of Printed Matter and if he says
2. ”Yes” I can easily walk towards the Manila City Hall to meet him

Well I was wrong…

The seminar...
But anyway, I don’t really want to dwell into that, we were able to attend the seminar anyway, which has something to do with family planning, and a film showing on "the miracle of life", which reminds me, I have seen this film during my high school days in our health class. Parang nakakatawa ‘to, we were the last couple to arrive at the room and there were three other pairs there watching TV and mind you we were not alone there, several others, mostly women, (Jun was the only male staff) who I think must be staff of the department was watching in another set of TV, at hindi nila hinihinaan ang boses nila ha, kahit na maliit lang ang room at magkalapit na magkalapit na kami ha?! Tapos si Jun(the one who was giving the seminar), without uttering any word simply turned the VCD player on and the film was on…there was questions and answers pero not a serious kind of a classroom discussion then after about an hour, our marriage forms was handed back to us and we were instructed to go back to the civil registry office. Me oath taking pa pala talaga yun ano, we went to this woman who asked us to raise our right hands and asked us “Kayo ba ay nanunumpa na lahat ng sinulat nyo dito ay pawang katotohanan” then we signed the forms and we are to go back on the 19th for our license. Ganun pala yun, first time ko kasi magpakasal eh…he he he…

Printed Matter...

para akong namamasyal talaga, this time went to Printed Matter. It’s been almost two months since I’ve gone here for our wedding invites. A lot of new designs for the pop-up invites was on display and all of them are really attractive! I really want to make use of the portrait made by Ben for us, so I decided to pick out from one of the numerous pop designs and that’s it. Now all I have to do is send them the wordings for it and they will come up with my mock up. Yahoo! Now I can say that I already have my invites!

Meeting Dr. Don and going home...

finally, I met with Don before taking the FX in Masagana to take me home, this is to get Gian’s photos, I will be making a streamer for his birthday which is on the 24th!

this is really a fruitful day for me…I should be really be happy…pero bakit kaya ganun, sumakit nanaman ulo ko on the way home and I was throwing up as soon as I stepped at our door. I hope this doesn’t mean that I am getting sick again. I am on vacation leave now because I really wish to feel better, I’ve never been this sick in my entire life, and ang nakakainis I really don’t know what’s wrong with me….maybe I really need to rest na lang…
