Attending W@W Christmas Party!

I was a last minute registered w@wie guest. It was only last Thursday when I was sure that we can be able to go to the annual w@w Christmas party. I was so glad that our registration was confirmed.
Yesterday was very very fun and tiring day for me. I admit I didn't get to talk much with co-w@wies coz shyness got into me. But anyway, it was still worthwhile for us.
We arrived Fernwoods at exactly 1pm and we were one of the first 20 couple to arrived early, so we get to choose 1 photographer we like. I choose Mango Red. Their shots are really unique, much like the way my photographer Kix Tavora does. Not actually comparing the two but I see a lot of similarities with the way they shoot.
There are also HMUA who pledge to give free hair and make up for the pictorial. I was assigned with Miss Lorie Abraham, she's really nice, she make my super chinky eyes looks a little better. I'm just having doubt at the way her hairstylist fix my hair. It looks so old fashion. Anyway, her price are also affordable, if I'm not mistaken it's 10k plus 2. Since I still don't have HMUA for my wedding, she's one of my option. Will be having trial with Miss Elaine Ganuelas on Tuesday and will set trial with Peddy Acebo soon. I got a lot of trials already but I still haven't found the one. Maybe I'm so picky or maybe I'm just not confident by the way they had my make up done.
And so after almost 2 hours we're all set. I wanted to look for Mango Red first but they are just so nowhere insight. We first had pictures with Edwin Tuyay, he's so funny and so nice, even though he knew that we already got photographer he still gives his effort in taking pictures. Next is Jerome Agustin, he wanted to take natural posses, but we were so not the model type who can easily pose in front of the camera. We were having a hard time acting naturally, huhu!!!
We also get to shoot with Metro Photo and Ariel Javelosa Team. We are still looking for Mango Red and Dino Lara since I don't want to loose all my smile's posing with the other teams (hehehe sorry). I check my card and it also indicate Chito Cleofas name, it's an honor posing with him, he's such a perfectionist. All poses are important, even a single hair flowing through your eyes is a distraction. Very down to earth and very very nice person. He told me I might wanted to try Peddy Acebo, he's good with eyes daw! well... I'm gonna give it a try since I so trust him in being a perfectionist.
And so after our shoot with Chito, we went to Dino Lara, he's a very creative guy, he uses a game to take pictures of a couple and his ideas are good. By this time I was so desperate looking for Mango Red, we roamed every venue just to look for them but still we didn't find them. Clarrise, a w@wie volunteer, if I'm correct, told me that we can now choose to take pictures with other teams if we like, it's already open to everyone. Since I am also a fan of Fol Rana, I approach him and ask if we can have picture taking with him, and he was so kind enough to accommodate my request. We took several shots and leave his post happy.
We already got tired of looking for Mango Red, and so we look for the last person to take our pictures, my card says Marvin Natores. We approach Marvin and he's soooo nice. All his shots are really really good. I haven't heard about him before but I'd say I was really impressed at his work.
We also had picture taking with Metro Photo and Ariel Javelosa Team.
We were done with all 8 photographers around 5pm. Tired, hungry and dehaydrated HEHE!!! All the efforts are so worth it, our pre-nup with Kix Tavora will be on Tuesday and we we're so happy that at least we already got ideas on how we should cover some of our flaws (my bilbil and double chin to be exact hehe ) and idea how tired we could possible be after the shoot.
I just can't wait to see the finish product. I hope they can email it to me soon (hehe kapal no!)
It was already 6pm and the party will start soon. We saw my cousin J and his fince Charlotte, we move table and sit with them. I was shocked to know that Charlotte is also a w@wie, hehe small world. And so, the program starts. Paulo Clemente was so funny and a really good host. The highlight for me was when Mr. Tamayo of Tamayo's catering sang and dance, he's really good ha! Josiah sponsors the food. We also get to try cuptails n dreams cupcakes. and of course, a slice of Alex Franco cake, so heavenly delicious! I didn't get to have cakes from joy san gabriel sayang! (takaw e no?) hehe Oh every couple get to have 1 small fondant cake courtesy of Sugar Box.
And so the w@w supplier of the year goes to mimi and karl. They deserve it, having passion on what they do, they are one of the teams which we hope to work with if only budget permits hehe a big round of applause!!! the party ends with loot bags from w@w and a souvenir from angel winks. There's also one last prize every couple can get a chance to win, I won a bag which contains Acclaim butterfly's decorated candle and an aroma incense, and a neat necklace (i forgot the company sorry).
I was so glad to have attend an event like this! Being a part of the party is a privilege. Thanks to Ma'am Benz and Sir John for a wonderful and successful events.
