Our wedding was a big event. We did most of the planning on our own, but it wouldn’t have been possible without the help of our incredible team of vendors. We hired Chai and Co Events Management for on-the-day coordination. Having worked in events planning, I knew for certain that I didn’t want to be thinking about logistics and the program during the wedding – … Continue reading Ka(sal) ni Kim: The People
We knew that getting married in Baguio meant that many of our guests would have to travel, so we wanted to welcome them to the city in the most fabulous way possible. We couldn’t have chosen a better venue to do that than the Frangeli House. Frangeli has two enormous gardens and a three-storey house with stylish yet practical interiors. Originally, we had planned to … Continue reading Ka(sal) ni Kim: Setting the Stage
In the year leading up to the wedding, I consumed a mountain of wedding-related content – blogs, videos, listicles, you name it. And the popular opinion seemed to be that giveaways were a waste of money and time. I got where people were coming from. Weddings are expensive, and you’re already buying your guests dinner and footing the bill for the whole party. Plus, some … Continue reading Ka(sal) ni Kim: The Wedding Favors
We got engaged in 2021 (details here in case you missed it!). For the next year and five-ish months, we poured a lot of time into preparing for the big day. One of the things I was most particular about was what I would wear to walk down the aisle. When I flew to the States to visit my mom, we checked out some wedding … Continue reading Ka(sal) ni Kim: The Dress
Guess who just dropped a long-overdue episode of her podcast?! Me, the procrastinator. In episode 7 of final girl, we dive into the ethics (or lack thereof) of Deleter. Check out the episode on Spotify: Or any of these platforms: Here’s some bonus content (that I didn’t make)! Click through for Rio’s review of Deleter where she talks about Corporate Hell as a fitting stage … Continue reading Final Girl: Deleter
I was one of those pre-teens concerned about breaking my hymen when I should have been more worried about damaging my eardrums. Having gone to Catholic school, our “sex education” was actually abstinence education – and that’s pretty loose use of the word “education”. It might be more accurate to say something like “fear mongering” or “learning via shaming”. To the school’s credit, there was … Continue reading A Look into Nala Biodegradable Tampons
In case you missed it – we got engaged! One of the first conversations we had was about the timing of the wedding. We didn’t want to be pressed for time on planning and budgeting, so we decided on a long engagement. We gave ourselves a long runway – more than a year out from the engagement date. Since we were going to be engaged … Continue reading I Liked It, So I Put a Ring On It.
On the morning of December 5th, I was wondering how to tell my friends that I didn’t feel like shooting a video we had planned. In other words – being a flake. You know how you make plans when you’re excited and full of energy, but then on the day, you feel like doing nothing instead? It happens to me sometimes. Still, I usually end … Continue reading We Got Engaged.
In the latest episode of Final Girl, we take a deep dive into the scary, sexy psychological thriller The Perfection. Plot twists abound, all set to an odd but somehow appropriate combination of classical scoring and rap tunes. I won’t give too much away, as you really need to see the movie to appreciate it. Once you’ve done that, you can listen to the episode … Continue reading Final Girl: The Perfection
In my seven years of working in broadcasting, I had the opportunity to work with people from all walks of life. Radio attracts a variety of folks, some of whom aspired to be disc jockeys since childhood, others who “fell into” the profession on a whim, or out of curiosity. When I met Josh – a trainee at the station in Baguio at the time … Continue reading Breaking Down Feminism and Feminists on The Scale of It All
