Oh I so heart you!



I so heart Mr. JB!

Last Friday, we were in the Mission district. So, we went by Pan Lido to grab some pastries. In case you don't know what Pan Lido is, it is a Salvadorian pastry shop. I got into Pan Lido because Mr. JB introduced me to them. When Mr. JB was younger, he used to eat these pastries after school during their "tea time".

Anyhoo, so, when Mr. JB and I go to Pan Lido, we go "all out"! We get everything there, and we basically "stock up". Ha ha. I think we bought about 25 items during this trip. But of course, our "stock" didn't last long because ... well....we pigged out on them. =) We can't help it. And today, we only had 3 left. Initially, I was going to offer it to Mr. JB but I realized that he has assess to more breakfast places working downtown than I do when I go to school. So, I didn't offer it to him.

I just casually said: "oh, there's only 3 left; I'm going to take them, okay?". Mr. JB was shocked cuz I didn't offer him any. I said "but I really want them". He said, "okay okay". I took them and enjoyed them oh so slowly at school. Oh so good!

And when I came home, I still had to clean up the Pan Lido box. I was thinking to myself: "Oh, I want some more. I wonder if Mr. JB had time to go there." But I knew Mr. JB was busy at work and knew that he wouldn't have time to go pick the pastries up. Oh well. And because I was so so hungry, I ate my biscotti from Costco instead.

And then I hear the key turning in the front. I rushed to the door to greet Mr. JB. And guess what he had in his hands? My Pan Lido!!!! I was shocked. I gasped and said.."oooohhh wowww...!! Really? Whoo hoo! Thank you thank you!" I was shocked!! I may have squealed too. ha ha.

Isn't Mr. JB so sweet? I can't believe he took the time out of his busy schedule to go buy me my favorite pastries!! Sigh...yes, every so often, he surprises me and reminds me of the love he has for me!
Sigh...I'm still feeling so lucky and am still gitty. =)

(And in case you were wondering: I didn't eat the pastries he bought today because I already ate my biscotti and didn't want to over eat. hee hee.)

You want $ for THAT?

I'm talking about engagement photos....

Don't get me wrong. I think that many of the photographers have "great eye" for capturing lovey dovey shots... But I never knew the purpose of these "engagement session". Do you do these engagement photo sessions to capture the love that two people have for each other? Do you use do the photos to use them as part of your wedding? I just don't get it...

But.....that doesn't mean I don't like getting lovey dovey shots with my love. ;) Last week, I was pet-sitting and we decided to take all the monkeys to Stern Grove. I had my camera with me so that I can take pictures of the monkeys. And what do you do when the monkeys are about and you have a camera in your hand? Well, take pictures of course!
Here is one of the pictures we liked. (I tried uploading more but my computer is giving me issues and not allowing me to upload any more. I shall restart my computer and try again!)
What do you think? Not so bad, eh?

Lub Dub Lub Dub

(Remember, how I talked about the machine cancelling vs hand cancelling in the previous post? The above envelope has been machine cancelled..)

Well, we sent out our invitations to everyone last week. And yesterday, Wednesday, April 8, 2009, we received our first reply card. Well, I was surprised when Mr. JB handed me an envelope. I was thinking: who decided to reply to us so fast? I grabbed my camera, of course.

My heart was pounding . . . lub dub lub dub lub dub . . .

And I opened it...and then there is was..

Our first rejection!

So, who rejected us so soon so fast? Well, she's the girl that made Mr. and Ms. JB to become one! =)

It's my co worker from my old job , who was Mr. JB's high school friend. If it wasn't for her, then Mr. JB and I will never be. She introduced us when Mr. JB came by for lunch. And then we flirted through her for about a month or so, and then went out to lunch near work and well..you know the saying. The rest is history. =)

How cute is she?

That's a picture of my bud Harmony. "Harm" is what I call her. She and I go back ... WAY back! Harm and I became friends after I learned that her father passed away from a car accident in HK. I went up to her to give her my condolescenses. I can not imagine what it feels like to lose a father. Especially at a very young age. That year (I believe it was 1997) was a tough year for our class. We had another friend who lost his father while they were playing basketball.

Well, 10 years later, Harm and I still keep in touch. We don't see each other as often as we'd like but we chat on IM and email here and there so that she knows where I am in my life and such. And no matter how much we don't see each other, I know she knows me well. And she always has my back and best of all, she's a great friend.

So, I saw her online today and she said that she got the invitation. I asked if she was going to come and she said she will try her best. What else can I ask for? And then when she was getting ready to go off, she said "of course, thanks for inviting me! i was so happy i called my mama in HK and said i got invited, haha"


And when I told her that she was one of the fews that I invited from high school (I only invited 3 more of my buds), she said: "dang, you're going to make me cry!"

How cute is she, right?

We now have our officiant


I emailed Lori from TropicalMauiWeddings the other day regarding what we are wanting as our officiant. Our criteria: an officiant who can blow a conch shell and wears a robe.

We want our officiant to wear a robe because we don't want to have to worry about him clashing with anybody's outfits. ha ha. I know. Lame. Oh well.

And Lori emailed a pastor yesterday and he replied to her to say that he's available and that he's a "Beautiful man". Well, without further ado, here's our pastor!

"Pastor Laki "Pomakai" (meaning "blessed") Kaahumanu was born and raised on the island of Maui. His lineage is of Royal decent: Queen Kaahumanu, favorite wife of the great King Kamehameha, the one who united the Hawaiian Islands, was his great great grandmother. Queen Kaahumanu brought Christianity to her people in the 1820's and Laki has followed in her footsteps, becoming the minister of Harvest Chapel Church of God in 1992 and also establishing a shelter. He is well known all over Maui for his open heart and helping hand. Over the years him and his wife have adopted 16 children and have cared for so many more. In 2006 Laki followed the Lord's calling and spent two years in Las Vegas, helping and curing as much as he could. He returned to Maui and has founded the "church on the go", becoming an Evangelist. It is truly an honor to be married by this sprititual leader who has brought so much happiness to our Ohana (family) and will make you a part of his. To Laki his Hawaiian heritage is at the core of his heart which is why he likes to share his Hawaiian traditions and ceremonies with you."

Above information about our Pastor is obtained from here.

HUH? What?


Okay, remember how I told you that we helped booked different trips for my family members as well as Mr. JB's? And of course, I knew this was going to show up on our credit card statment soon...
So, I went online to see the damage and was just shocked! I don't know why! I mean, I was expecting it but in a way, I wasn't. Here's what I saw!

In case you can't see, that's $9,000.22!! NINE THOUSANDS!! That's a sh!t load of money! We've never had that much debt. YIKES! Okay..now, time to go pay it off. =)

Second chance love...

Well, you know how I've been telling you about Gilt? A website that has designer items for sale for about 36 hours? And I'm not sure if I've told you but everytime I want something, it's GONE! And of course, I get mad, thinking: ah damn it! Only if I was here a little sooner!

Well...today, I had "luck" on my side. Nah..actually, I had rain on my side. My princess Bash and I usually walk around 8:30 on my days off. It just turns out that way since I usually take prince Brandon to the park and we don't get home around 8:25 or so. And because my princess walk kinda slow, we usually don't get home until 9:30 a.m. And if you know Gilt, that means, most items are gone by then.

Not today!!

Princess and I got to the end of the street and it started raining. So, we came back and it was about 8:55 a.m. So, I checked my email and saw an email from Gilt saying that they are LAMB bags. I thought it was tomorrow! But it's today??? Well, let me go check it out! (I was already irritated when I thought the LAMB sale was tomorrow and I was going to miss it. And then to find out that it's today and that I will actually have a chance of getting it...well..priceless!)

And when they sent their weekly calendar last week, there was a yellow bag I wanted. So, as I signed onto Gilt, I said, please please..let that be on there still! And it was!! So, I showed it to the Mr and he said to get it. I said, but it costs $xxx and he said, just get it. Here's what he wrote in the IM for me:

(9:22:24 AM) Fatty: honey you deserve it
(9:22:31 AM) Fatty: you work hard in school
(9:22:36 AM) Fatty: you work hard planning the wedding
(9:22:43 AM) Fatty: you work hard planning everyones trip

Uh..yeah...how cute is this man? He recognized all the hard work I've been putting into our wedding and to my school!! Well, okay okay! He has been saying thank you to me all these times. And he tells me that I deserve everything and ya de ya da. Basically, he's just a sweet man!

So, I bought the bag! ha ha ha! Well, it's not in yellow like I wanted initially but it's in black. Who was I kidding by thinking about getting it in yellow? I want to have my best friend with me through out our Hawaii trip and yellow ain't going to work out. If I had money lying around, of course, I will get the yellow one too. This one is just too damn cute!!! Check it out!

Reactions to our invitation

So, I've told you that we've sent out our invitations the other day, right?

Well, here are some of the reactions we've gotten so far...

"I got the invitation =) It's very pretty. Even Robert said that it's very nice!" From my cousin Jessica

"yes. it is very pretty. " From my cousin Mimi

"We got ours too...good job putting it together very nicely. It looks very pretty and neat. I love the pocket thing where you insert the RSVP card. I have seen some invitions with so much stuffs that when you open it, little stuffs fall out and look messy. " From my cousin Sue

"Joel said your invitation is nice. He just saw it." From my bud Ella S.

What to give as a present?

I'm sure you've seen this happened before: you are attending a wedding and there's a registry for the couple, which have a list of items that they're wanting. And you get it for them....and then you find out later that someone else got them the same darn thing.

Don't you hate that?

I do.

I TRY to give presents that are OUTSIDE of the registry and non returnable (meaning: PERSONALIZED!). I know I know. Some couples do not like that...but that's just me!

So, when my sister and my BIL got married, I gave them a personalized cake cutting set with an album from Things Remembered, which were engraved.

And when my older cousin got married, I got them a frame which had engraved names and the date of their wedding. To this day, they say they love it. =) AND I know they do cuz when we go to their house, we see the frame. hee hee.

And when one of my younger cousin got married, I also got them a frame with the engraved names and the date of their wedding. They say they like it but who knows where it is now. ha ha.

Well, same thing for Mr. JB's cousin who got married as well.

And then I realized. Um..how come I kept getting frames? Well, no more I'd say! I've moved on from the frames..

So, here are my newest wedding presents I've been eyeing on:

These are from Jessica Rust Designs

And HuePhoria


Aren't these lovely?

Have you Etsy?

Etsy is a website full of hand made creations. Here are some items I'm digging right about now:

Tonight I Celebrate My Love For You

Well, not really!

But I am celebrating! =)



Today, Sunday, April 5th of 2009, the following people are coming to our wedding:

1. my parents (2)
2. Mr. JB's parents and his little brother (3)
3. my brother and his family plus his mother in law (5 -- 3 adults plus 2 kids)
4. my sister and her family (3 - 2 adults plus 1 kid)

That means..there'll be at least 12 people at our wedding, including us. ha ha ha! I'm laughing because when we planned our wedding, we expected those folks to be there but to have booked the trips for all of them, it's such a relief! Unbelieveable! I'm speechless! I didn't think this will happen this soon. I guess the invitations I gave them made the event seems more official then just me inviting them verbally!

I was on the phone with Costco travel for a good 3 hours doing all of this. I booked my parents and my sister's trip first. Then, I booked my future in laws on a second call, and then my brother's family's trip!

WOW...it's so exciting! It's such a relief.

I just told Mr. JB about how I'm very excited about this and I got all emotional! I actually cried. ha ha. Such a cry baby!
On a side note, I also have to say that we're expecting Mr. JB's older brother and his family to be there as well. Supposedly, they've already got their trip planned. So..that's another 6 (2 adults and 4 kids), which means..there'll be 14 adults and 7 kids at our wedding!!! Wow..it's getting big already. ha ha!

I'm just not that into you


To the poofy dress!

I was watching "Say Yes to the Dress" show on TLC and I was watching about Grace and Tate. Grace is in school to be a designer and Tate owns a shoe store or something rather. Anyhoo, Grace designed a dress, which was simple and yet elegant. BUT she went to a friend's wedding and had a dress envy. I think 46 days before the wedding, they decided to go to Kleinfeld to try on dresses...

Don't get me wrong! Some of the dresses there are very nice.... BUT it's just not my style. I think it's because our location in Maui and I can't imagine being "stuck" in a big poofy dress...

So, after trying on 3 dresses (I think), she choose one that was so purty! I don't know where it is on their website and I'm not about to go look for it. It has a bow and it's tight til the hip and flares out. PURTY!

You're such a party pooper!


You know what I hate? Party poopers!

I hate how everybody has an opinion on something... This is what Mr. JB usually says to me: "opinions are like assholes; everybody has one and they stinks!" ha ha. Now, you see why I'm going to marry him? =)

Okay, since the beginning of our engagement, when we tell people that we're going to get marry in Maui, some are very excited for us and says "wow, that'd be really awesome". Some, on the other hand, are just plain nasty! Here are some stupid comments we have heard over our engagement and up to today (4/3) when we dropped off one more invitation:

1. Maui? Why? You know it's expensive there, right? (No, shit, really?)
2. What? Maui? Are you going to pay for us to get there? (What the? Do we look like we're freaking rich? Do you not realize that I'm just a student?)
3. What? Why can't you just get married here? (Let me get this straight: you want me to give up on my dream wedding so that YOU can attend?)
4. How come you're having it so far away? (Because it's my wedding and I can do whatever I want to?)
5. Well, I see the invitation but where's the plane tickets? (Um...no.....)

Well, you get the point. Let me just say this: these comments piss me off. Who the hell do people think they are? Do they think that they're being helpful in any way at all?? A wedding is for two people who are celebrating their love for each other and joining each other for life. And they want to make their union a special occasion. If they choose to have their special day in Maui or any where, it's their day and you should let them be!

Keep your comments to yourself!

We are giving you the invitations and are hoping that you join us as we celebrate our loves for each other. If you can't attend in any way, just simply reply in the response card and mail it back BUT please keep your comments to yourself. We'd love for you to join us but if you can't make it, then let it be! We know that people are in their own unique situations but we're also hoping that people will use our wedding as a way to enjoy their lives by going on a vacation with us.

Here's my two cents:

If you think of going to Maui just to go to our wedding, then you will not go. Think: I'm going on a vacation and I will save that Friday to go enjoy FREE dinner with good company. We're only asking you to spend that Friday with us.


And another thing: we've given most people two years to plan for this trip. If you can't save your money, then you simply don't want to go / can't go. It's okay. We totally understand...BUT please...no whinning.

Simply put: we would love for you to join us as we celebrate our loves for each other but if you can't, then you can't. We're sad that you won't be there but please..keep your comments to yourself!

Good bye my darlings...

Spending time with you, my darlings, have been great. And it was great getting to know each one of you individually over the last few weeks. Although I will be sad that you are no longer with me, I'm glad to see that you're going to good homes......

I'm talking about my invitations. =)

I received my personalized stamps on Thursday (4/2) at my mom's house (good thing I stopped by there cuz I thought I mailed them here to our house; hee hee). I was so happy to see the stamps! These stamps are GREAT. OMG! I was totally speechless!! Woww... They are GORGEOUS! ha ha. I was totally in love!




In case you can't tell, it's C and J, put together to form a heart with two love bugs. Mr. JB did a great job in creating this design, in my opinion. The love bug on C represents Mr. JB and the love bug on J represents me. And if you look very closely, they're touching each other. Hee hee. Settle but very meaningful to us. =)



So, on Friday, I put all our invitations together. I used the heart stamps to put on the reply envelopes, cuz I was thinking that if the invitations cost us 59 cents, then I can just buy the 59 cents heart stamps from the post office and have them match. And if the post office tells me that the cost to mail out an envelope is $1 then, I can use our custom stamps on top of the 59 cents. Good idea, right? Well...let's just say that's not how it happened.







Our sealed invitations -- the horizontal ones are to be mailed and the vertical ones are to be hand delivered.



Right before I went to the post office, I was on weddingbee reading and the board has a post about hand cancelling. I was thinking to myself: what the heck is that? I read and read some more and thought it was a good idea for me to ask the post office. So, I went to the post office on 28th Avenue and Taraval Street. Good thing I found parking. As I was waiting in line, I heard my youngest aunt's voice. I thought to myself: is that really her? So, I called my aunt to tell her from the front. And then she came outside to say hello and such. And I gave our invitation to her. And then I asked her about hand cancelling. She said, they don't usually do it at that post office and that when they did, they charged the customers. And when it was my turn to the counter, I asked the postman how much each invitation will cost us in terms of mailing. And guess what he said: A DOLLAR! Oi! Alright, I was prepared. I told him that I'd like to buy the 59 cents heart stamps and guess what he said? "Sorry, we ran out of 59 cents stamps!" WHAT! You're the post office for goodness sake. I also asked him about the hand cancelling. And he said that they only usually do it if it was just one or two pieces but because he knows my aunt, he will let me hand cancel my invitations by letting me having the stamp to do it. WOW. Okay. BUT there was no 59 cents stamps! UGH! I still used him to mail the invitation to Mr. JB's grand-aunt and uncle, who lives in El Salvador. That costed me $1.95.



Then I went to the post office on Sloat Plaza and asked them to weigh the invitation again. Ha ha. I know. I thought the cost will be different. Hee hee. And guess what that postwoman said? "Oh, I think we ran out of the 59 cents stamps!" WHAT!!! Geez! Are you serious? And she said "ask Willie, that gentleman at that counter". I also asked that postwoman about hand cancelling and she said, ask Willie about it because he's the boss. So, I went to go see Willie. Willie looked like a Santa Clause who was on his spring break. He has long white beard and mastache and everything, just like a Santa Clause.



Willie looked at his stamps book and he was flipping through it and said, well, I don't have any 59 cents stamps. But I do have 58 cents stamps. "Well, that's perfect", I said! My invitations are going to cost me $1 each and I already have 42 cents stamps. Can I see what the stamps look like? He showed me the stamps with Margaret Smith. I have no idea who that was/is but I still bought the stamps. What? Should I have gone to another store to see if they had 59 cents stamps. I already went to two stores and they both had none. I wasn't going to spend my Friday afternoon chasing the stupid 59 cents stamps. Whatever. I bought them.





I asked Willie about the hand cancelling and he said, well, just bring them a day before and we can see what we can do. I said, oh alright. I put all the stamps at the post office and asked Willie again about the hand cancelling. He said, well, we can't do it if there are a lot of people. I said, um...do you think you can hand cancel them now since there aren't a lot of people right now. I was so lucky at that moment because there was only one person in line after me. And I also told Willie that there was only 18 invitations that needed to be mailed out. He said "18, eh". I said, "yes, sir, just 18". He took them with him..and I followed him around like a little puppy. He went behind the counter and hand cancelled each one of them!!!! Woww...I was shocked. I didn't even know what hand cancelling was until that Friday and Mr. Willie the postman hand cancelled each one of my invitations! Wow..who said customer service isn't grand at the post office. WOWWWHHEEE! Okay, I'm excited about it, but I don't think any of the people I sent the invitations to will notice. ha ha.


The top picture is machine cancelled and the bottom picture is hand cancelled.

After my post office experience, I stopped by at the following places:



** my grandmother/3rd aunt/2nd uncle

** my 5th uncle

** my 2nd aunt/my cousin Jessica

** my 1st aunt


And I was very tired after that. =)

I received my personalized stamps yesterday at my mom's house (good thing I stopped by there cuz I thought I mailed them here to our house, hee hee). I was so happy to see the stamps! The result of the stamps was GREAT. OMG! These stamps are GORGEOUS! ha ha. I was totally in love!


Sigh...;)

How cute is this?

From Etsy: A special keepsake for the Mother of the Groom, or Mother of the Bride on that special day!

Mother of the Groom

"Your son is such a special man
And I know that it is true
He would not be the man I love
If it were not for you
So if upon our wedding day
You shed a happy tear
Just save it in this handkerchief
And know I hold you dear"

Mother of the Bride
"I feel so very fortunate
And know that it is true
She would not be the woman I love
If it were not for you
So if upon our wedding day
You shed a happy tear
Just save it in this handkerchief
And know I hold you dear"

My day in ER and at post conference

Normally, I don't like to talk about school. BUT I must today. =)

I was in the emergency room to do my clinical rotation this week. Yesterday was a long day but I didn't get to do much. The nurse I was shadowing felt that the patients he was getting were hard sticks and that he should do them his own. So, he did everything. I just basically shadowed him and was his little "go get this, go get that" girl. ha ha. Oh actually, now that I think about it, I learned how to put the 12 lead EKG.

Anyhoo, today I had a different nurse. And she asked what year I was in and what I'm capable of. I told her the same thing I told the nurse yesterday. So, she said, okay, I'll see what you can help with. She told all the nurses in the ER that if they needed to "stick" anyone, to let her know so that she can let me know! How cool is that? And when she wasn't busy, she would walk around the ER to see if anyone had a patient that needed and IV running. She was so cool. So..I had a few patients that needed to get their IV started. She was with me while I did the IV start and talked me into it. THANKFULLY, all the IVs were in the veins like they were supposed to!!! WHOO WHEE! Oh wait. There was a lady who had a twisting vein. So, even though I was holding her veins down, it twisted a bit. I was able to see blood and able to flush the IV with normal saline...BUT it blew. =( But I still considered that a success cuz I still was able to get blood back and was able to flush her line. ha ha.

I was busy helping that patient out the whole time and I was able to give her meds (Dilaudid) all the time. So, I was late to the post conference held by my teacher. And a few minutes after I walked in, the teacher said, "no more prepping". I said, "excuse me, I don't think I heard you. What did you say? Did you say no more prepping?" She said, yes, no more prepping. I was so overwhelmed! I started crying!! In front of my classmates, mind you. ha ha. I couldn't help myself. I was so emotional because that means we're getting near the end. I mean, of course I knew we're nearing the end. I kept track of how many weeks we have left as a student nurse. BUT to have it validated by your teacher. WOWW. I was in tears! I still can't believe it!

Let me give you a little background and maybe you'll see my excitement:

Since school started, we had to go to the hospital a day before to get the information we needed for our patients. That included, looking at the patients' diagnosis, medications, and labs. And then we come home to prep for them, which included making a care plan. In the beginning of the nursing program, we only had to prepare for 1 patient. Then 2 patients, and then 3 patients. We were also picking up new patients when we get on the floor because some of the patients we have prepped for the day before were discharged by the time we get to the floor the following day. So, that meant, we spent hours preparing for a patient who were not able to take care of anymore. That was frustrating and was a pain in the you know what.

So, by us not having to prep anymore, we will not be required to go to the hospital the day before and we will not have to prepare for our patients the night before either. So, all around, lots of time saving! BUT that means, you better know your sh!t because you're responsible for your patient from the beginning of shift until the end and you won't have your computer to help you "guide" your patient care...

Sigh...what a week! And it's only Wednesday. ha ha.
