Serendipity

I knew what I really wanted but I am not sure if we can find one. To try our luck, we went to this specialty store and found just the girl. But we needed the right partner. Then, we saw the boy. But the saleslady said she couldn’t give it to us because it was paid already and it’s just waiting to be claimed. I was this close to buying a different partner but something inside, stopped me.

So, we said we’ll just come back. A few hours and a couple of strolls after, I felt uneasy not getting them. So, we came back and pleaded the saleslady to let us buy them both. It’s just waiting for us, and nobody else. I even let her use my phone so that she call her co-worker that wasn't there. After some time, some wits, and charms…(and pleas) Yes, we bought them. Serendipity? Or out of mercy? It doesn't matter.

25 days to go.

For the pretty ladies who will play a part on our special day, we made this ourselves. Okay, not get the pearls from the ocean... But anyway, we are very grateful, in advanced.

How he makes up for it

Last night, we met a family relative that we’ve never really gone out with, purposely, for a chat. I was a little nervous at first because of past, not so pleasant, history. As people say, you should expect for the worse. And what I got is the exact opposite.

The better part. He was proud of the “do-it-on-our-own” work of art. Far more than that, out of the blue, he explained the reason behind the church. And this, made my day.

I had a not-so-nice week because of all kinds of stresses that I give to myself. But I have one good reason to smile. Father Mars is right, it is a much, much, much better feeling when you just “stumble on happiness.”

29 days to go!

Okay. Okay. In as much as I didn’t want to post anything here, I can’t help it.
I need to show off our labor-of-love masterpieces and artworks.

Invitations. Thanks to my pretty sisters, tricia and kuting, and their partners. “Belat.” I know! I made you factory workers for a night, but I least you have free KFC dinner.

1 Flower seeds from Bangkok. Thanks to our ever realiable Auntie. 2 Painting of the pots. 3 The tito-vic&joey session to put in the sticker designs. 4 Packaging.
Whew! I don’t’ want to elaborate, just take a look. Oh, I forgot, this has a bigger version. Whose idea is this again?

Coffee and tea

It was 11 years ago since I graduated from high school.
For me, high school is the most fun part of studying. You know a little more than what you knew during primary education, and yet, you know a little less of what you are about to learn when you reach college.

So, life is easy. Problems are small and petty. Going to an “all-girls” school (from a co-ed elementary school), made me see and experience life in a different perspective. One of the main reasons that made it fun and memorable are my high school friends. At teenage years, anything can be fun. Copying during exams, fun classes, sharing one plate for lunch.. (for at least 6 people..) Remembering this makes me giggle. But, just the same, anything can also make you sad. But it will be okay because friends will always be at your side to give you a pat on your shoulder and a hug.

It was 11 years ago. And what’s good is that we are still in touch now (at least those who still care). We see each other from time to time, (over dinner, coffee and tea) to catch up with each other lives. I even made them emcee’s for my “big day.” This night, I look at us, still talking aloud, still laughing at anything.. makes me wonder, we’ve never really outgrown our high school days. It’s still in us. And once in a while, when we go out, it comes out as well. Naturally.
Thanks Cons, Pix and Trish.
