AUTUMN! First are the leaves with monochromatic tones of red, orange, and yellow. Next is the change in temperature from a hot summer to a colder season. </span></div>

Melo is a business development consultant & Karel is a preschool teacher. <br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Back then, they were looking for a day-of-the-wedding coordinator. Great thanks to Dylan for referring this couple to me :) Dylan is the operations manager of <a href="http://www.themangofarm.com/">Mango Farm</a>. Also an events stylist and florist in his own right, he creatively transformed the garden ceremony into a rustic autumn look last November 7, 2009. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The reception was styled by Kaye of <a href="http://www.kbycunanancatering.com%20/">K by Cunanan</a> Catering. Kaye is a fave when it comes to a sumptuous selection of food and an impeccable taste in style. It's very rare that a client would still need an events stylist at the reception if they get Kaye for the catering. Keep up the good work, Kaye!</span></div>

You have carefully planned your wedding with other people in mind... you wanted them to enjoy and just have a great time :)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Thank you for the opportunity to serve you in this momentous event. I pray that your married life will continue to flourish even as years and decades pass by. God bless you!</span></div>

Yesterday morning, I had a fabulous buffet breakfast at Holiday Inn with hotel roommate Pearl. We took time and savored every bite. And, of course, I had my usual double sunny side up eggs.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Then came the sad news in the evening. Judith, Darl, & I went to SM Hypermart to get groceries for the house. Lo & behold! The eggs are missing in the grocery shelves. The attendant said they're out of stock. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">At unit 1413, egg is a staple food.<br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Eden: "That is sooo sad! I'm mourning & grieving for the missing eggs."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Darl: "Yeah. Almost all I eat has eggs." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Judith: "Like what?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Judith & Eden: "Fried eggs... Scrambled eggs...?"<br />
</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We had all sorts of peculiar speculations like drowning chickens, traumatized chickens, and so on... But, what really happened to the eggs, we still don't know...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The movie "Julie & Julia" inspired me... not to cook like them, but to awaken in me an interest and passion in concepts and designs. Like Julie, I am not an expert nor a pro. Perhaps, a wannabe who loves to learn from the Julias of this world.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">From this day on, I take it upon myself to write and blog on 'light bulb' moments, creative 'stumblings', inspiring designs from classical to vogue, interesting places and people, and a whole pie of delightful and memorable events.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Good morning!</span><br />
