Post-Wedding Thank You Cards ♥

Waaah! Look at what I received today!
Our post wedding thank you cards!

They're so adorable... I am very much in love with them!
Bwahahahaha! I think it's funny that I had our thank you cards made way before our actual wedding invitations. Talk about bizarre and hyper excited-ness!

I had them made last week while I was browsing through multiply... By an online store named, THINGS REMEMBERED. They sell customized stationaries but what's so special about them is their FOIL STAMPING option. Of course, this comes with a price and it'll take some more time to produce, but I'm telling you it's all worth it. Their products are simply adorable. If you're fond of customized stationary like me... Then you have to check their store out. Besides the lovely stationaries, I also looove how patient and accommodating their staff are... And they produce super fast.

New Designer Spotlight: Jen Kao S/S '11

I think that it's such a shame that there are a lot of very good designers who never get the chance to showcase their talents... I know I'm new to the industry, but I know talent when I see one. I actually have high respects for designers who could come up with a collection that is well put together, at the same time beautiful... So I've decided to feature such collections by young and talented designers that people from the industry hardly notice.

I know my blog wouldn't make an impact to their career, but one person appreciating their talent and their passion would mean so much than being unnoticed right? I actually have two designers to preview today... But I'll feature Jen Kao first because I just really love her S/S 2011 collection. A collection that literally has a mixture of SUGAR (Fairy like designs and use of delicate materials), SPICE (Sexy silhouettes) and EVERYTHING NICE!

Our Customized Illustrated Wedding Map

Since I am so obsessed with having my wedding DIY-ed... I asked the help of a very wonderful illustrator (Arnold Magtibay - Comment for his details!) to help me make a customized wedding map. Going to and from the place for reception and ceremony can be really ummm... Confusing and frustrating. Plus, I don't want to get two separate maps for my locations, and I seriously don't want to have the usual maps attached on wedding invitations. Hahahaha. Yes, I'm OC like that.

Very happy with the outcome of our constant exchange of emails. I love how he illustrated Hacienda Isabella, Chapel on the Hill, Taal vista and Tagaytay Haven hotel. I did pay him for his services, for being such a professional and for being so ever so patient with a bridezilla like me.

Thank you sir Arnold!
I really love my personalized illustrated map!

10 Dog Rules



1. Please give me a little bit of time to let me understand what you require from me.
2. "Trust Me", that's very important to me.
3. No matter how you treat me, I'll never forget.
4. Before you scold me for being uncooperative, stubborn or
lazy, please ask yourself if there is something bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, or I haven't been running under the sun for too long, or my heart is getting old and weak.
5. Talk to me sometimes, even though I do not understand your words. But I understand that's your voice which is accompanying me.
6. Remember when you hit me, actually my teeth can easily crush the bones of your hand, I only choose not to bite you.
7. Take care of me when I am old. You too, will grow old.
8. Don't be angry with me for too long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your entertainment, your friends. But you are the only one I have.
9. Before you bring me home, please remember, my life is likely to last for 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you will be painful to me.
10. Go with me when I need to go through the most difficult journey. Never say "I can't bear to watch it or let it happen in my absence." Everything will be easy for me if you are there. Remember, I love you.
