my gown designer recommended 5-inch heels with platform. this will be the design of my shoes for the ceremony - in champagne color. kaya ko kaya? i'm still not used to 2-inch heels. she says i could wear anything i like during the reception but she highly recommended i wear 5 inches for the ceremony. sige go! whatever. i'm getting married only once. i might as well try out everything outrageous!

5 inches
aesthetics
oh oh my my! this is it! i'm going home on the 9th for the one-month-to-go countdown!
here is how i want my face kolorete to look like. tarush ang pretty ni ate! hahaha di siguro achievable ang kagandahan factor pero i'm after the super natural look. i like the lip color too. i've proven that pinkish lip shade doesn't look good on me. i like it more on the darker side.
ewan ko, i have no idea how i want to wear my hair. siguro like the one on the left then have the 2nd look for the reception. tarush ang gaganda talaga nila. sana pag nagbigay ka ng picture sa HMUA, magaya nya pati mukha at overall factor! bwahahaha!

napakahirap magpanggap
super late post. when mami was here, we wanted to treat her to something nice so we decided to have an overnight stay at mbs. thanks to my cousin who's working in a hotel in macau. one of the perks that she enjoys is having discounts to global sister companies. mbs is one of them and we had a tumataginting discount for the accommodation. neat? neat!
this is a nice thing at the ceiling :)
view from our room. road leads to lau pa sat.
it was so funny! we scouted for a place where we could have dinner. there were signs that said "food court" but we couldn't find it! apparently, it's still under construction so we had no choice but to eat either at one of the restaurants in the hotel or have room service. we were so scared of the prices hahaha! tell you, we are no rich people and we could not splurge so much like the rich people do! lumevel ba?!? when we checked the prices, we got confused: are we trying to have dinner or are we trying to have a heart attack? hahaha! well, nakakahiya mang sabihin, i suggested that we buy take-away food from lau pa sat instead! and so kuya and i went to lau pa sat to buy at mang kiko's! kay sarap! walang pagpapanggap. i was a bit scared maybe the guys at the lobby will stop us and confiscate our chipips food! hahaha. ok naman, they didn't seem to care what we had in our cheap plastic bags. dinner is served! ang sarap! we were all laughing while eating our dinner... staying in a luxurious hotel but eating take-away food in styros from a hawker! hahaha! weh bakit?!
view from our room. road leads to suntec.
the little girl sleeping like a queen while the father went to the casino with his friends. the grandma, the mother, and the auntie are making chismax.
the bathroom.
for breakfast, just to experience room service, we ordered bagels. it's the cheapest on the menu at 11 sgd each! my gally, ayoko nang lumakbay pa papuntang lau pa sat please lang! so sige na. umorder na tayo. for just 4 bagels, they arranged the setup as such. so groovy! complete with orchids pa! imagine how a dinner setup will look like. so romantic siguro! inferfer, masarap ang sour cream spread. bagels, parang monay lang na matigas. bagels bagels pa monay lang.
view during day time. look at the dots on the roof. these are actually workers! so dangerous! i think they have harness naman. :)
my feet! at mga ugat na nagngangalit! sheesh. what can i do about my varicose veins?
and finally, the infinity pool. we brought swimsuits. the thing is, we didn't wake up early so we ran out of time for a good swim. sayang. the water's too inviting! the weather was perfect for a swim but we had to checkout at 11 :( the funny thing here is that the lifeguards are constantly making pito at people who are going too far at the edge of the pool. hello, manong. infinity nga e! hindi mahuhulog yan! toinks.
learnings:
- it sure is hard to play roles. when you are not rich, it feels ridiculous to pretend like one. well, we were not really pretending. so siguro, it feels ridiculous lang to be in a place that's out of your league. hahaha! ridiculous but it sure is super fun!
- next time, instead of going out for dinner, you could always call mc donald's delivery! clever. we actually saw some people do this when we checked out. they just fetched the food from the delivery boy at the lobby. thought: can't delivery boys go up to the rooms?
- go for a night swim instead :) won't burn the skin plus the view is more awesome with the lights on. plus you have more time instead of rushing for the 11am checkout time.
- aha, the week before our stay, we went to the sky park. this is 20 sgd per head so we paid 80 in all! when you are a hotel guest, you'll get complimentary passes for the sky park! 80 sgd down the drain!
- have fun, fun, fun! God is good. all the time! all the time, God is good!
