Shocking Saturday!


The picture tells everything ey. So here's the story.

I have this bearable pain in my right wrist for months.

Bearable,so Im forgetting the pain even insist..

It worried Russ,so I did visit a Gen Med Doc last month. She gave me an ointment for the swelling which I feel helped, but recently it pains like hell.

Worried Russ insisted to visit an Ortho this time. So went to New Med and they call it DeQuervains Disease. A swelling in the tendons from thumb to wrist. They made me do exercises which kept me breathless of pain (no exaggeration!

Doc: will do Depomedrol injection and use a splint for 10 days!
Me: ok! when?
Doc: Right now.
Me: As in? Ok

They did it (no words can describe the pain when they stretched my arm!)

So now Im all plastered. The only chic thing..I have a Pink plaster haha

It has nothing to do with my ganglion cyst last year- but i feel sorry for my Righty. She is healthy as a horse, but having to experience all this ~~~

My Rockstar, My Hero!

When we cancelled the booking with Club Ultima, the manager charged us with a non-refundable deposit of Php 20,000 (1,666 AED)..

When he learned about it, Russel was hysterical (haha) and he was so mad he was threatening me to speak with our coordinator on that very moment, on that state..

RUSSEL.FURIOUS...YOU.HAVE.NO.IDEA.

So I volunteered to speak with January, and to our delight, she managed to have it waived...

Without Russel's erupting anger - I would have said yes and paid that deposit.
Thanks Rockstar, you're a lot of help...sometimes...** big grin

Change of Venue

One of the major changes in the plan, the Reception Venue..

We have decided for Club Ultima because of:
1. Food - Glorious & Endless Food
2. Something Different - not the typical closed door party
3. Luxury - being the highest building in Cebu, we want our guests the chance to experience it! "the so costly building"; they say!

Debut's and I do's first wedding in the lovely venue, shattered my reception dreams.
I must admit it was very pretty.. BUT it was so SMALL, so TIGHT, so NOT WHAT I WANT!
I feel like I couldn't move, couldn't dance. It just can not hold a 150-wedding party.

It was a dilemma.

I don't want to give up Club Ultima, but I couldn't let go of my wonderful wedding imagination either~~ the kid's corner, the entrance dance, the candy bar and the till-morning-dancing.

I have to let go..

We picked alternative venues; coordinator worked immediately and luckily, we still have an open ballroom in Waterfront Hotel. This is my top choice (after Club Ultima) as this is closer to our church. It must have been our lucky day, or somehow, maybe, Waterfront is really meant for us~~


* Mediterrean Ballroom, Waterfront Hotel and Casino, Lahug Cebu City

Well. We still have a Rck n Roll Wedding. That's what matters ey!
