happenings

weddings...

my friends & i coordinated a wedding in manila hotel last july 9, 2006. i must say that it was a successful event although i was harrassed the whole day.it was, i must say the type of wedding that any bride would like to have. the venue itself , manila hotel's maynila ballroom, was a sight to behold. i fell in love with "maynila" the first time i stepped there for a friend's wedding many years ago, it has a dreamy atmosphere...it has fountain, grand staircase & little lights on the side which look like stars from afar... i wouldn't dwell on the nitty gritty details of the event but trust me it was a wonderful one. the couple are already in their late 40s or early 50s, they are from the u.s. & came back here just to have a church wedding (they were already married in the u.s.) it was the husband's promise to the wife that whatever happens, they will have a church wedding. it was such a dreamy event that when my husband & i were on the way home, i told him that i wanted us to have a wedding again in one of our future anniversaries:)

and hey the pay is good,thanks for the bonus gigi;)

trian's bday

my youngest sister, trian celebrated her 10th bday last july 12 but the celebration actually happened last july 15. i took an offset leave last saturday from work to go to pangasinan. we invited some of her friends and we had a very simple celebration. she's such a big girl now:(

mvp cup

my husband & i met at gateway when i came back from pangasinan last sunday. we watched the mvp cup in araneta (a badminton tourney). it was asia vs europe. asia had a really bad day. 1st game was a mixed doubles match featuring 2 players from i'm not sure whether denmark or sweden & the assuncion siblings of the phils. the 2 europeans won (they're such a pain in the..talk about attitude with an A) but the phils.' pride fought a good fight. the 2nd game was fought by a chinese immigrant from netherlands (so she represented netherlands) and china's pride (ranked # 1 in the world) zhang ming, the whole stadium was speechless after the game because zhang ming lost (imagine that). oh well, the last game was the best game of all, it was competed by sweden's kenneth jonassen (ranked # 5 in the world) and china's lin dan (ranked # 2 in the world). there's just no way to describe the way lin dan play...his play is so unpredicatble and yet very effective (galing talaga, crush ko na sya!). the europeans won the the title this year (last year it was the asians), one thing i noticed though, the asians were such humble players...they just...play... unlike the europeans, who had so many "concerns"..duh. i want to watch again next year & see how the asians will redeem their title which they lost this year:)

love wrecked

last tuesday was our 7th monthsary as a married couple. we decided to celebrate it since we never celebrated it after our wedding. we went to rockwell, had dinner & watched a film. we watched amanda bynes' love wrecked...it was a funny film, i fell in love with jonathan bennett's character on the film. he was just so into jenny (amanda) and his eyes says it all.in reality, his character in the film is rare these days. as some women put it, good men are just hard to find these days. true... but rare means rare, simply put, there are still good fishes in the ocean. you just have to wait for the tide to bring them in or they may be just under your nose & you're simply not aware of them. but please make sure that when you found them, keep them & treasure them (they are already an endangered species, hehe) and you may never ever find anyone anymore like them in your lifetime. right dates;)
