Some Prenup Pics and A Lot of Side Kwentos...
John and I had so much fun with our prenups with Vignette photographer Mang Henry. I also had my TMU with Bronson of Midane Salon.
Side kwento about my TMU...although I like his make-up on me, the hairstyle 'di ko masyado feel. Now I know why Serg disliked her hair when she had TMU with them. Para kong conehead pala when I saw the pics na naka-side ako..inis! Sakit pa kc sobra dami pins he put on my hair...kapal kc hair ko, mahaba pa. John called me nga donya....ngek! I wish he'd change my hairstyle on my wedding. Bronson (astig ang name noh pero mas mahinhin pa cya sakin!!) was telling me yesterday "Ay mam maganda yan kasi lalagyan ko pa yan real flowers as accent sa wedding day mismo", in a very sof-spoken and ladylike manner (mas astig pa ko magsalita...hehehe). I'll see on the wedding day if it will turn out beautiful with my veil and tiara. In fairness to him(her), I like his attitude when doing MU. He came on time at Vignette Studio, was even ahead us. Tahimik cya mag-work, so every now and then I ask him about make-up and all... wala kasi ako alam sa make-up so chika ko cya about his work.
Prior to the TMU, we had our canonical interview at Sta. Rita in the morning. It was okay naman...asked all my concerns regarding the wedding. I thought Fr. Manny was kinda strict but he can be funny sometimes. When it was my turn being interviewed, he told me some things which need to be reassessed in our relationship...nad I respect his opinion about it. Ms. Alma Mariano, the lady counselor, also had some valuable insights for us during a pre-counselling she did, while we were waiting for the first couple to be finished being interviewed by Fr. Manny. There was some sort of compatibility test where John and I answered separately...most of the items proved our compatibility (dapat lang di ba?), and for this I was relieved that we really think on the same wavelength...hehehe! ;-)
After our interview, we proceeded to Vignette Photo Studio in Midland Plaza beside Robinson's Ermita, and so I decided we take our lunch there to avoid the traffic, lest we might get late for our 2pm appointment with Midane. On the way to Vignette, John and I had a slight asaran...I kinda got peeved with him coz I was telling him about the route going to Vignette as told to me by Ms. Fe, but instead of turning to Taft Ave., he turned right to Kalaw...and I asked him if he was sure about it. Ok fine, basta we need to enter M. Adriatico so we can park at the 3rd level of Midland. Then he told me, "Ayun na ang Robinsons...", so I asked him again, "Adriatico na yun?", he answered "Faura yata...". So I said, "Dapat sa Adriatico tayo kasi dun ang entrance ng parking sa Midland." So he made a left turn instead of diretso "Eh di hanapin...", but Manila has lots of one-way streets (darn it!), so instead of getting near Midland, we ended up going farther... To make the long story short, we went around the whole route again, and that time I was getting peeved already coz it's almost 1pm and we still havent had lunch...we still have to buy pa white shirts fo the prenups. I told John "Ikaw kasi di ka nakinig sa sinabi ko kanina dapat sa Taft tayo kasi un ang sabi sakin", to which John retorted "Eh andun na tayo malapit sa RObinsons kanina, ayaw mo pa." Nakasimangot na ko...salubong na ang kilay...nagsusuplada na....and I know John was starting to get peeved na rin me because I kept on ranting in the car. Mejo tumaas na boses nya, pero trying to be cool pa rin....Tumahimik na lang ako kc I know John seldom gets angry...he's very pasensyoso with my moods. Na-guilty naman ako kasi I just remembered the words of Ms. Alma (the counselor), "Dapat magbigayan kayo...he is your husband and he is the head of the family..." Haayy!!! Takot din ako baka magalit na si John...so quiet na lang beauty ko dun sa car. Eventually we reached Robinsons again (back from where we were), so I just let him drive and park na lang sa Robinsons. When we alighted the car, sweet na uli ako, mejo apologetic kasi kasalanan ko bakit kami paikot-ikot (kulit kasi eh!). I asked him na lang "Hon, san mo gusto kumain?", to which the usual reply "Ikaw, bahala ka.. basta ung mabilis service". So we settled with Wendy's na lang, but we bought white shirts muna sa Giordano.
We arrived at Vignette Studio at 2pm, just in time for our sked with my HMUA Bronson who was already there waiting for us. We immediately started with the TMU while John caught some nap (he just came from Pangasinan very early in the morn). The TMU finished at 3pm. John commented on my make-up, mejo makapal daw. Sabi naman ni Ms. Fe, kulang pa nga daw sa blush-on kasi we'll have outdoor pictorials naman. So add uli si Bronson ng blush-on, then we proceeded to Orchidarium and had our prenups taken. Haayy! Hirap pala maging artista (feeling)! Hehehe! Sakit na ang jaws ko kaka-smile, eto naman si John ang tipid ngumiti! Pa-macho effect daw! Nyeh! ;-) Mang Henry was really good and very patient in coaching us on the right poses. He even looked for the best locations to shoot, which was not hard coz Orchidarium is a perfect place for prenups. My officemates who saw our pics think he's great, especially in those pics with really good angles.
Comment on MU, on the other hand, was ok na rin, except that my friend suggested to put some concealer on those laugh lines. John naman suggested kung pwede raw pink ang blush-on, baka daw mas bagay sa akin. I don't know what color Bronson put, But I think he just matched it with my color motif. I don't know anything about make-up coz I don't use them, so any comments and suggestions will be most welcome. ;-)
We finished our prenups at Orchiarium around 4pm, had some drinks muna at Lush Life before going to Baywalk for another round of pictorials. We got there a around 5pm, mataas pa ang araw so we had to wait pa for the sun to go down. We had some pictures taken amid the people's stares...akala nila sino feeling artista kami...hehehe! When the sun is turning a little orange na, picure-picture again, but kainis ang clouds which blocked the orange effect when the was going down the hroizon. Badtrip! Sayang ang ganda pa naman ng effect nun. Mang Henry was disappointed, but still managed to have some silhoutte pics taken. Oh wel...you can't have everything. Ok na rin, coz we really had a great time during our prenups, and our pics were really very nice! Please check out our online album and see for yourself. Please feel free to make any comments about it, especially on my MU. Thanks!
