Where's That Second Wind?
I have nothing to report. Nothing. Nada. Nil. Null. Zilch. Zip. Now don't let the colors distract you. They all still mean the same - zero.
Alright, let me search my memory a little here... well, there was that time last saturday night when we attempted to listen to our band play at this local bar. Then again, that wasn't so fruitful as we still ended up not hearing them because of a scary, will-piss-you-off, unfortunate event that happened that forced us to go home almost immediately after we got there.
Aside from that? Nothing.
Nada. Nil. Null. Zilch. Zip. Zero.
Why is it that I can't seem to pull my energy up and be excited? I started preparing September last year, and I was in 5th gear. I couldn't even sleep sometimes cause there were so many ideas in my head. Now I can't even start the engine. Did I burn myself out with the first wave of prep? Maybe the expenses are starting to overwhelm me. Is it my personality - that I get bored very easily? Is it because Leo's not really that excited and his attitude has rubbed on me? Is it because I lost some suppliers that I really wanted to get? Is it because I'm too busy at work? Is it because I'm more excited of the life after wedding now?
I really don't know the answer. It's probably a combination of all those mentioned above. One thing I know - I have to get out of this phase. This nothingness. This stage of stillness and no progress. I've gotta find my second wind. If I don't start moving, I don't think anyone will. Then Christmas time will be here and I'd be in super super panic.
*Haaaaaayyyyy*

I felt that way 4-5 months into preps. Wedding preps burnout I call it. I went on a flurry of booking suppliers although I was not enjoying myself. After that, I went on hiatus for 2-3 months. I make the occasional effort nowadays to do things for the preps, but for the most part I'm still on cruise mode.
My advise is to take a break even if it's just 2 weeks. You'll feel better afterwards. Take care!
Here are some of the things you still need to do: (hehehe)find a supplier for your cake, design your invitation and scout for materials, set date and venue for your pre-nup, look for accommodations, meet with your caterer, detailing and contract signing with balay kandila, give-aways, etc, etc...
Dami mo pang gagawin. hehe. :)
Hi Marj, thanks for sharing. I was really wondering if other brides go through or have gone through the same phase. Glad to know I'm not the only one :D Sige, I'll think about your advice. A 2-week vacation would be nice, kung pwede lang sana mag leave sa work, haaaay...
LA, pressure ka! Hehehe, kala ko kayo na ni Bernard gagawa ng give-aways? ;)
