50k PHP worth Church Wedding (No Entourage)

Is 50k budget for wedding is possible? Yes, we did. The first plan was to have a civil wedding but I got an idea from some wedding forums that there's a wedding rites for catholic wedding where you can have a church wedding without entourage just ceremony itself.

Just to give you a little background when my husband and I decided to have a simple wedding we pencil booked our chosen dates in Manila Cathedral. Since Manila Cathedral offer wedding rites for just 5k but it will not be held in main altar. It is okay for us since we only have few guest but unfortunately we missed the seminar because we have work during that time and they notify us a day before so we let go Manila Cathedral and booked in Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish in MBS,Caloocan City. I was baptized in this church together with my siblings so I can say that it was close to my heart another reason is they offer wedding rites ceremony since not all parish doing this. I tried to inquire in other church but they just offer complete package. So, I suggest you to look at your local parish near your place they might be offering wedding rites.

Another thing is we only have 20 guest that's include the photographer and his assistant. We don't have a program after the ceremony we go straight to the venue just to eat. So it really up to you and your husband to be if you want this kind of wedding after all it all boils down to what you really want and what suit your personality.

Below is the complete list of expenses we had.

How Are You?

It's been almost two month since Community quarantine started, well, my daily activities doesn't really change from what I do everyday except for the fact the we are complete here in the house together with my husband who now work from home from the mean time. I just noticed that we eat a lot and consumed more foods from the usual day.

Also reading newsfeed in social media is really draining and just giving me anxiety so as much as possible I refrain reading news I just watch news for few minutes then do something else like readintg story in wattpad, playing with my kid and husband or watch random videos in YouTube.

I just hope that this pandemic will end soon since many families are affected specially those people who depends in daily wages. I also hope that you also doing fine. Stay at home and keep safe.

5 Things To Do When You Have Nothing To Do

Bored? Are you looking for something to do inside the four corner of your house? Then maybe you have to do this for a change.

1. Delete and unsubscribe to unimportant emails- maybe your inbox has already a thousand of email that you didn't bother to open for years. Or a spam of  emails that doesn't interest you. This is the best time to unsubscribe and delete those pile of emails.
2. Write down and save all your password in a notebook - I know some people saving their password on phone. But I think it's much safer if you have hard copy too in case your computer or mobile phone can't be access.
3. Read books from different Genre - Not into Rom-com? Why not try to read for a change. Sometimes we didn't know we enjoyed reading it without giving it a try.
4. Re-arrange your bedroom- Have you ever sleep right next to the window for the past three years? Why not change the position of bed and furniture in your room it's not only practical but also therapeutics since you will see what to improved once you organize the clutter.
5. Watch Documentaries- Documentaries are eye opener and has inspirational value.

Flower Power

My mom turn 60 last month and I decided to give her a bouquet and while browsing at the net I found flowerstore.ph they have a lot of flowers to choose from and it's affordable. I'm not really fond of bouquet but upon seeing the bouquet delivered I can't help but to mesmerize to it's beauty. That's why I requested to my husband to buy me the preserved flower.

I might say that the bouquet is much better than the preserved flower. As you can see at the photo the preserved flower lost it's one studs I even look after it in between roses but I can't find it. Overall, I can say it's a good surprise for the one you love even there's no celebration.
