Spring Cleaning

I have been remiss. At first it was because I couldn't open my multiply..and then busy with work (still am), and life, well, it all just takes time! But, I've decided its time to get my act together..

Okay, first things first:

1. Wedding-- F$%K! I'm so behind schedule, I'm skitsing! ANNNND the venue I want is a bit hmm, not so used to holding weddings? The coordinator emailed me today and said (I quote with comments)

Dear Ms. Melody & Mr. Soukthavy,We are pleased to inform you that we can't offer you as your request in this time before you sign to confirm with us.(ooookkay pass that by me again? you are pleased to inform me??)

Because of the policy of our hotel, but after you sign to confirm, we will give you two food in our menu for your testing before your wedding one week. (so you expect me to sign the contract first, requiring 50% downpayment and THEN you will let me taste TWO things on the menu A WEEK before my wedding??)

And about the flower arrangement. We arrange as normal is not so nice, we will do on the reception table and food table also.( I responded that they should reduce their overall price if they thought their own flower arrangement substandard..don't give me your flowers!)

So, for those of you who know me well..you expect me to accept tasting the food A WEEK before? I would have broken out in hives by then! I emailed them back nicely saying lets meet this weekend to discuss and that I will need to test the food to sign on, no questions asked (though, a friend of mine says I wont even get to eat at the wedding--so EVEN MORE should we have the taste test!)

Everything is behind schedule..sheesh, the wedsite, the invite list (but this isn't scheduled to be sent to the printer til July)..okay yeah, I'm anal, I KNOW.

2. Work-- I have TWO hands and a procrastinating nature..I also have a threshold, once you give me work that OTHER PEOPLE ARE PAID TO DO, I get a leetttllllee annoyed and MORE procrastinaty. Even if two hands can juggle 10 balls, well, one is bound to fall and I DONT JUGGLE, I organize! hehehe. Okay, this aside I do enjoy my work, though I think I am on like a long hate list, as there are more and more people who are lazy, but I ride their butts to get it done..on the other hand there are those CREATIVE (read: people with initiative, sablay nga lang) and man, what a mess!

Well, am stressed right now, I have three documents (1 is 79 pages, 1 is about 50 and the other 30) that need to be finished by FRIDAY lunch. I need a miracle (okay, actually all I need coke and a quiet space that has no internet)

3. Love- My last entry about love was all sooo cheesy..and the update here is, we are still, queso as ever. I will write something about this on its own :) he he he.

Okay, thats it for now, I have a deadline and no WAY am I taking work on my holiday!

Manila here I come--YAY!!
