So, everything’s back to normal again for me like nothing happened. Last Sunday’s wedding almost turned into a disaster with Typhoon Igme almost ruining my cousin’s moment. The rain poured hard shortly past noon. Good thing I arrived at the hotel before it rained or else I would be one literally wet cord bearer. My cousin was close to tears as she watched the rain from her hotel window. I told her we already offered eggs to Sta. Clara for better weather but I think an egg wasn’t enough. I jokingly told her we should have offered a hen instead. And as if the rain wasn’t enough to ruin things, the electricity suddenly went out as we were taking videos and pictures. Thank God for generators!
The wedding went out well. It stopped raining just in time for my cousin to walk down the aisle. At least she didn’t get wet as she walked from the bridal car to the chapel’s entrance at Paco Park. Everything went smoothly except that the pictorials at the chapel had to be hurried because there was a mass scheduled right after the wedding ceremonies. The food at Ibarra’s, (the one near Robinson’s Place Manila), was superb. (I always pass by that restaurant on my way home back when I was still in UP but I never had actually gone to see the place).
Everything would have been well if not for my Mentos moment. You see my mother bought me these beautiful silver heels at a dirt-cheap price to wear for the wedding and since I don’t exactly attend formal events that often, I figured it’s alright not to spend so much on heels. I was so wrong!!!! The heels of my left shoe snapped off without warning! Good thing it didn’t happen while I was walking down the aisle or while I was buzzing around having the guests sign in the guestbook or I would have died right then and there. Unlike the Mentos commercial though, I didn’t have to break off the other heel. I just asked my cousin to bring me the pair of slippers I wore earlier. Lesson learned? Never trust cheap footwear!
My pretty cousin texting in the day of her wedding. LOL.

Those are yours alright! . We at least need to get these people stealing images to start blogging! They probably just did a image search and grabbed them. They look good though!

While I do not realistically with the comment previously mentioned, at least that particular person does confirm a position. We seem to get caught up in the details and lose view of the more substantial image.

It’s fairly intriguing the mainstream media has modified the best way it seems at this lately dont you think? What used to neve be introduced up or mentioned has modified. It’s that time for you to chagnge our stance on this though.

This pattern derives from so-called four-on-the-floor dance drumbeats of the 1960s and especially from the 1970s disco drummers

We are quite close to launch but will use CityCamp to talk to anyone interested in mentoring or already running mentoring schemes and updating the site with feedback. If appropriate, the session can provide a brief introduction to mentoring and facilitate a social mentoring session.
