12 days to go...

teeeheee... its soo weird having to countdown on my blog. hehehe.... gosh. anyway... well, i only have one week and a half to get through the rest of the preps and after that, i'd be a Mrs. Tabios. :-) Exciting! hehehe. So well, I'd take the time to give a rundown and the latest events that have so far transpired (this weekend).

Friday night: SHOWER PARTIES - yes, I said parties because I had 2 separate parties on the same night. The first was with my officemates here in Beer Logistics Procurement, who gave me a blast of a party with their Words of Wisdom (believe me they had many!) and their super nice gifts! I don't think they read my blog but hey, I still want to thank them for the party and the gifts and the advice, see pic!

Shower Party 1 GIFTS!(c/o Beer Logistics Procurement)

Moving on, my next shower party was sponsored by my first SMC family (sisters actually) from the e-procurement group. This now was a night of fun and games and surprises since we were all single girls and I was the first one to tie the knot. It touched me most that they were able to contact Tabs to ask him some questions for me to answer. And my darling of a husband (to-be) was so game in answering the questions. Even if some of the answers were unfair (hahaha!!!) I really am flattered.
Most memorable question and answer:
Question: "What made you decide or what event were you in that made you decide that jennie would be the last woman you would fall in love with and spend the rest of your life with?"
Tabs answer: "Jenn always makes me want to be a better man...."

I guess, the realization that he sees me loving him that way, touches me so much. Its flattering and at the same time, humbling. I always thought of myself as an "ideal" girlfriend for tabs. If you ask me to take a quiz and how good a girlfriend I am I'm proud to say I could fight for a topnotch score (no kidding!). I've always given him free reign over his life. While some of the decisions made in our relationship (and for the wedding) were made and handled by me, fact is that for tabs' life, I value the decisions he has made for himself, I'm proud of what he has accomplished, and while I do give him my opinion whenever he asks, I know that I give him as much freedom as any single man would want. Even when we were starting out, he likes the song SOMEBODY (by Depeche Mode), and when asked by my friends the same questions (now, 9.5 years after) he gave the same answer. Perhaps, for him, I'm that "Somebody". :-)

Here are the gifts I got from the second bridal shower!

To my E-proc friends: Thanks for the surprises, the fun and the games! Love you all!!!!


Let's drink to that!

Wearing a veil and holding the bouquet they made. We had a bouquet toss later and Dannet got the bouquet! hehe... next na daw sya!


And here are all the gifts I got!!!!


Less than two weeks away from the wedding, I'd say I had gotten what I longed for with my single life. And as I look ahead of me towards my new status, as a wife, and someday, a mother, I know I'd have tons of memories to share, and lots of friends who have made me feel special.
Thanks to all of you guys!
