Me the Wedding Planner

I've been wanting to start an events planning (weddings in particular) business since the time I was planning for my own wedding more than three years ago.  However, I did not take it as seriously as I should have and never got friends who trusted me enough to be their wedding coordinator.  Until this year, that is!  Haha!  Meet my first two "clients":

Will blog about my experiences as wedding planner extraordinaire as we go along.  For the meantime, I hope these couples know what they're getting themselves into, entrusting me with one of the most memorable events of their lives. 

Kidding!  I'm so honored to be part of your weddings, guys.  Let the full on planning begin! :)

I Wish I Was Better At These

Being a working mom and wife, there are a lot of things at home I wish I could do (or at least learn to) but do not have the luxury of time to.  I admit I have never been as domesticated as I wanted to.  I was starting to attempt to be one when Jax and I got married three years ago but I got pregnant, went full time with Marcus for a while, went back to my crazy work after my maternity leave, and well, forgot about it all together.  Hihi.

So, inspired by the training I had earlier today and the guilt I feel once in a while for being too lazy, I decided to revive my little goal to be the awesome (read: Martha Stewart meets the Stepford Wife) homemaker I've always wanted to be.  These are some of the stuff I want to get started with:

1. Photobooks for my little dude's milestones
2. Efficient and sustainable document system for our financial accountabilities
3. Creative learning activities through play (which must be consistent with the curriculum from Marcus' toddler school)
4. Compilation of healthy menu options (by subtly injecting veggies or fruits) for the picky eaters in the house (which includes me! haha!)
5. Decorative frames for the few family photos we have
6. An "idea book" for all my inspirations and dreams

Wish me luck!

Self-Assessment and Passion

I find myself spending more time trying to understand the real me and how I intend to spend the rest of my life the past weeks.  This happens almost everyday, on my drive to and from work (the only "me" time I can afford these days).  There are certain things going on right now which I feel is leading me to step back and think about these things but I rather not blog about it here for fear that the people involved might chance upon this little space I have on the net.

I realized that I'm a passion person.  I want to do things that I sincerely have the heart for, and that alone is my motivation to do it with all that I have, no holds barred.  If, however, I don't believe in something, I tend to feel stressed out and end up being not my best self.  (I know, this is not very positive of me, but it's just how I'm made up.) Whenever I make decisions, it's almost always about what won't go against my principles and beliefs.  I'm all for going "back to basics" of what I think ( and know in my heart) is right.

Having known this, I came up with a conclusion that maybe, at this point in my life, I am not where God has prepared me to be truly passionate for. I'm starting to get sad and bitter, to the point of doubting myself.  Maybe I need some form of change to validate this more but as of now, I know that I need to take action.  And I have to get me to do it sooner than later.
