I had Myke install this on their computer first and asked him to check it out so he later teach me how to use the program. Well, I guess he didn't have a lot of time to self-learn and the program seemed intimidating.
Well, because it is. Kinda.
Because of a .. uh.. "special project", I had to teach myself how to use Adobe Audition. I told a friend of ours (Hi, Mem!) regarding the "requirements" of my "project" and told me about this program.

Myke and I had a little R&R last Saturday although we did some wedding related chores on the side. We headed first to the Manila Cathedral to submit some required forms and pay out the balance and some other additional fees. A quick trip to the Postal Office and then we're off to the mall :) Side kwento: Myke's brother who is to be our groomsman is currently working at UAE and he needed our invitation so he could show it to his boss when he asks for a leave. And because of that, sending him the invites was a priority. We first inquired at LBC for their courier service cost and we were quoted a whooping Php 2000! I was like, "WTF?!". And mind you, it wasn't a next day delivery. Sheesh! So we headed to the Post Office and we were relieved that they have express delivery for only P480. I know that most are a bit reluctant to trust our postal service but we had to give it a shot cos the 2000 peso LBC fee isn't really practical especially since we had to allocate our budget wisely. With some of the legwork done, we had a nice lunch at one of my fave resto, Sbarro. I usually order their ziti or spaghetti but I decided to give their Puttanesca a try. Well, it wasn't really that good cos the sauce of my pasta was dry. The fish in marinara sauce was good though so was Myke's Angus steak deep dish pizza. He he!
Our church coordinator sent us a text message the other day reminding us that tomorrow is the deadline of submission of some of the forms needed for wedding. As I was rooting through my files to check which forms have to be filled-up and submitted, I came upon the handouts they gave us during our pre-cana seminar. I know you probably want to puke already with mushy, lovey-dovey entries I have here but I really wanted to share this with you cos it's a really nice and helpful read for anyone who is contemplating of marriage, is getting married (me, me, me! :D) or is already married. Anyone who is in a relationship would totally relate to this. So, read on guys. RULES FOR A HAPPY MARRIAGE • Never both be angry at the same time. • Never yell at each other unless the house is on fire. • If one of you has to win an argument, let it be your mate. • Never bring up past mistakes. • If you have to criticize, do it lovingly. • Neglect the whole world rather than each other. • Never go to sleep with an argument unsettled. • At least once every day try to say one kind or complimentary thing to your life's partner. • When you have done something wrong, be ready to admit it and ask for forgiveness. • It takes two to make a quarrel and the one in the wrong is the one who does the most talking. Stay happy. Stay in-love, everyone!
As any typical girl, I'm sometimes fickle-minded. And so, I decided to give my blog site a new look!
I've always been partial to clean, contemporary layouts so I've stuck with the white background. The banner is also simple - with a single flower design and a short catch phrase. The are a lot of pinks, I know but I really love how it stands out against white backdrop. The width of the blog is wider than my last layout. I've also used smaller-sized fonts. The overall look is simple, feminine, chic. What do you think? There is a little shoutout box I've put on the sidebar, basically my own version of Facebook status/ tweets. I'd be posting whatever spur-of-the-moments rants, raves, or perhaps some words of wisdom (?), some philosophical or mathematical questions (?!).. But just indulge me, please! :) Anyway, I hope you guys like it just like I do (until I get tired of it or be struck with some creative genius). I'm a Glee addict so I'm really anticipating their new season.
I've read some spoilers and sneak peeks for the second season and I was really psyched to read that they're doing a Britney Spears episode. I had a surreal experience yesterday. You see, I had my gown fitting yesterday. I had been mum to Myke and most of my friends regarding the design of my gown. I've only shown it only a trusted few cos I want the guests to watch in awe when I take that walk down the aisle :P Ok, ok. I'm exaggerating but I do want them to have something to look forward to (cos the bride is always THE star. Har har!). Anyway, Ruel spoiled my surprise when he pointed out to Myke my gown when he accompanied his mom for her gown fitting. Grrr. But Myke kept assuring me that it wasn't as if the gown is finished already. But still... *grumble*grumble* To keep things a bit more complicated, Myke was with us during my gown fitting :( I noticed though that he stepped outside the shop when I had the dress on. And here I was thinking I will take his breath away when he sees me for the first time. *sigh* Well, all that seemed petty when saw I myself in the mirror. The dress is beautiful even if there isn't any straps or beading yet and the hemline is way too long. And well, I just felt really pretty :) I was thinking, "Dang! I already looked good in this simple strapless gown. How much more if I'm all dolled up?". Ha ha ha! While we were coordinating our wedding invitation with Wink, I've asked our friend Mao to design our map.
We considered asking Wink to include the map on the wedding invites but we will have to shell out an additional one thousand bucks for it. And we have to provide the map design. I haven't found a really nice map that would go well with our chosen invitation layout plus I'm a Photoshop newbie so I'm afraid to botch the whole thing if I was gonna take a stab at it. So I've asked Mao for a favor, :) Got a nice surprise today :) I got an email from Photobook this morning saying that our book order has been forwarded to shipping already. That alone made me excited but I didn't expect that I'd get it today! My colleagues who got a peek are now itching to write on them :P But for now, it'll stay put (safe in bubble wrap and carton box) until needed. Tee hee!
XO It's a great morning and as I sip my morning coffee, I wanted to share what I've been busy on last night. Here's a sneak peek on our guest book layout :) The text might be familiar to some. It's the poem "I Carry Your Heart With Me" by E. E. Cummings which I had spread out across the book.
