to do..

we will have a long vacation next week here in japan. monday will be our office's foundation day and from wed til fri will be Japan's national holidays, collectively known as the golden week. so i will only have to report for work on tues., not bad eh? :)

my senpai told me that i could take a leave because almost everybody will be gone for vacation. but i choose to come to work nevertheless, because i am planning to use my remaining precious VLs for something else ;-) and nobody's gonna be here anyway so it means less work, i can leave work early and wear jeans. hehe

with all the free time next week, i can now give focus on some diy stuff for our wedding preps that i've been meaning to do but been too lazy to.. i think it would help if i officially jot down things i should accomplish before the vacation ends, lest, i'd be spending the whole week the way i spend my weekends, in bed or in front of my pc, watching something. hehe

ok, here goes my list :

- complete the gown designs!!!
-> i have to put this in bold letters. i used to be excited designing gowns for the whole entou. but now, the minute i get hold of a pencil, i fall asleep. hehehe i promise to post drawings here so i have more pressure to be true to my word. :D

- update our wedsite
-> we need to let our foreign invitees know as early as next month about our day and it's better if we can provide them an informative wedsite so they will be, hopefully, [more?] enthusiastic to come.

- window shop for our precioussss
-> rings should be one if not the most thought-out wedding prep decision we should arrive at. aside from the big dent on our budget, it will be the most tangible remembrance that we can have years after the wedding. we both want platinum bands that would go well with my e-ring and our e-bands, they must be simple and comfort fit because bin is still active in sports and he doesn't want anything flashy. still, even when i find that perfect ring, i must decide with him. so i promise to just look around for now. :D

- buy props for the reception
-> i've been itching to visit the nearby 100-en [about 50pesos] store to look for abubuts that could accentuate our reception area. i'll probably pick up those round hanging lamps, hopefully they have our colors, and those magnetic sheets i saw last month so i can start with our save the dates :D again, i promise to post pictures of my acquisitions.

- look for principal sponsors gifts
-> i already have something in mind but any alternative is welcome as long as it fits our budget.

- compile songs
-> i will strangle with my garter anybody who'd play or sing "please release me" or sort, pramis... so to prevent bloodshed on our day, i need to put control on everything that goes into that tape/cd deck. i already have a list of songs to play on my ipod but i think i need to burn them in CDs as well for backup. suggestions are most welcome :D
