CHINESE WEDDING

[mloveg]

Thank you corpse_bride.. Nakapili nadin kami ng date! Yey! 

[meixin]

^Congratz!

[mloveg]

Oh, and will you girls attend the wedding expo on march 19. & 20?

[meixin]

When na date mo sis?  Pwede mo siguro ask yung church, but I don't know if they would allow that. And tingin ko di naman masusulit yung time na yun, kasi yung ceremony proper naman won't really last all that long. And ang alam ko pwede ka pa din naman mag picture around the church after nung ceremony mo e so would you really need the 2 time slots?

[meixin]

^ahh well.. may ganun nga daw na churches.. Siguro kung iallow nila yun pwede mo nga kunin yung 2 timeslots one question though, hindi ba mapamahal?

[corpse_bride]

You're welcome mloveg. Congratulations! Di pala na post my message before.

Ang ikli pala ng alloted time duon ano? Nice kasi there eh. Parang better nga to get 2 slots if church will permit. Kasi like sa church namin palagi nirremind samin na strictly 45mins mass so you'll have atmost 30mins for pictorial inside the church. Lalo na sa inyo nice yung interiors.

Question lang. Dumadagdag the traditions na somewhat kelangan pala gawin. Some are ok, some are impractical. Yung iba nga di ko nabasa sa Little Kanchiu book. Are you following your elders' "advices"? Or kung ano lang yung kaya? & if not, how will you go about telling them na you'd rather not?

[meixin]

Sample sis, like what traditions? Kung elders sa guy side yung nagsasabi (tipong parents or lola) tingin ko better consider na sundin, kasi kaw yung papasok sa family nila, just my opinion though. Shempre iba kapag sobrang hassle, discuss mo na lang din fiance mo pagka ganun

Hello girls,
Newbie here... The emcee I booked (and paid) bumped me off for another client. May miscommunication daw. Anyway, looking for another emcee.

Any feedback on Felix Sia? And may website or FB page ba siya na pwede ko makita? Been searcing for him wala akong makita..

Thanks in advance! :-)

Sis mloveg
      2 slots kami sa San Sebastian:) pwede naman yun, actually recommended ng coordinator namin na mag2 hrs kung gusto namin, mas okay daw, kasi strict sila sa time sis, so dapat on time palagi, paghindi kunyari nalate daw paminsan nasskip na picture taking or kung among important matters, wala ring personal vows pay 1 hr lang:) i think sulit naman sis ang 2 hrs:)

sis di ko sure kung pupunta ako sa bridal fair:) medyo okay na kami suppliers eh hehe and host pala namin si Michael Lim super energetic niya sobra kausap ahhaha kakameet ko lang sakanya kahapon super chinese ba ng family mo sis?

 Hi ach! kami sinusunod namin usually yung sinasabi ng elders, lalo na pag nakita ko din sa kanchiu book, sa KE TSENG ba to? feel ko hindi naman lahat important eh, baka piliin mo lang kung ano talaga kailngan, or parang sa gagawn namin, hindi na ko magdadala ng stove sa bahay ni h2b kasi meron na sila pero need daw talaga for ke tseng sabi ng dad ko, so bibili nalang ako ng maliit na stove [textspeak!] portable para  tapos ang problema:) hehe

whoa..! who did that??

Hindi ko pa pinaghahandaan ang tinghun at ke-tseng ko.... ano ba yung nilalagay sa "loot-bag" sa tinghun?

[corpse_bride]

^ hi shobs! Indi nga pag ke tseng eh. Like eto ah. Sabi ng ah pe niya kelangan daw yung bridal car maghahatid samin until sa hotel sa gabi. Impractical diba? Like if magrrent, ang mahal nun. If manghihiram naman, hassle & nakakahiya dun sa may ari.

Yun nga din eh. Mom ko naman kasi walang masyadong sinasabi. Sa side ng howe ko medyo madami at hassle. Mukhang conscious din kasi howe ko about dun sa car kasi inuulit ulit niya. Just like dun sa hindi kami pwede pumunta ng wedding ng iba before us.

Hindi naman ata tradition yan? Parang transpo concern lang naman ata yan. If they know ano coverage ng renting a bridal car and yung cost ng extending, baka magbago.. Di ba pwede sarili ninyong car nalang yung pauwi? If you are not particular about the car's model, maybe you could try rent-a-cars? para whole day siyang nasa inyo

Yang last part may feeling ako na baka sabihin din yan ng in law ko.. kaso nataon talaga may 2 kabarkada ako na ikakasal this year and one is right after our tinghun.. kaso parang di ko naman magawa na hindi pumunta dun... baka feeling inisnub ko sila..

Ohh napaka impractical naman nga nun, bakit naman daw [textspeak!] bridal car pa? ngeks eh pwede naman sabay nalang kayo or pahatid sa iba, ang mahal nga per hour ng bridal cars, baka pwedeng wag na sundin yan, nakakaloka naman.

Sis meixin
actually sis sineseryoso yan ng family namin, hindi kami umattend sa wedding ng pinsan ni h2b. kasi nagtutug ng luck daw so sabi samin wag na pumunta. oh well okay lang naman di naman sila close ni h2b actually nauna sila, kasi sa tinghun namin di sila pumunta, buong family nila di pumunta, yung ape lang niya talagaa. haha bastos lang maiintindihan ko sana kung [textspeak!] pinsan niya lang [textspeak!] hindi pumunta eh, buong family pati mom, bro and sister di pumunta. 

[chartan]

whoa..! who did that??

Sis, sorry, hindi pa ko marunong mag PM. Will not name him here kasi baka ma-bash. The way he told me was nice naman. Just felt na hindi siya very apologetic about it.
The other client was not able to send the deposit slip to him. When he checked mas nauna daw nagbayad yung client na yun than me. Kaya bumped off ako kahit na ako yung nauna magconfirm. 😕

Anyway, have you girls attended weddings hosted by Harvey Ong or Felix Sia? Ok kaya sila? ☺

exagg naman, yung couple lang dapat yun e hindi buong pamilya... tsaka ang alam ko sa amin bawal lang mawitness yung ceremony, pero pwede ka pa din sa reception ng tinghun. Di ko sure yung sa wedding mismo kung pano..

[mloveg]

ladies, do you suggest na magpa appointment na ako sa designer ng gown ko? kahit na 11 months pa before my wedding?

Para magpapadrawing ng design, o do you mean magpapasukat na? fixed ka na ba sa kung sinong designer gagawa? Opinion ko sa kung papadrawing palang ok lang. pero kung papasukat na baka medyo maaga pa..
