Two days ago, my friends from St. Paul & I suprised our friend Thecx at her room in Vivere Suites in Alabang. I wouldn't really call it a bridal shower because we failed to bring a stripper--the most important element of a shower. Hehehe...Anyways, she was really surprised & glad we kept her company while waiting for her gown, a Veluz creation.
The next day was her big day. Getting married at the Church (St. James Parish in Ayala, Alabang) is a blessing even though they were wed already civilly in New York. I wasn't able to witness the bridal march but the guests say it was really very emotional. Thecx looked gorgeous in her gown, so as Charlie, her husband.
Reception followed at The Palms in Alabang. Food was awesome. Our table was in a strategic area of the grand ballroom--just beside the BUFFET table. I can't even remember how many times I went back to the chocolate fountain. :-)
Overall, the guests had fun. The couple enjoyed the night & we all wished them well.
Next agenda:
Bridal shower again on Wednesday for Michie, still a friend of mine from St. Paul. Her wedding is on Saturday at Christ the King Church in Green Meadows.
It's WIMBLEDON season again, my favorite of the four grand slam events. It is played on grass surface and held at this time of the year at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club in London. The tournament lasts for two weeks, considering that occasional rains sometimes delay the games. My bet of course is the defending (4th successive year) Gentlemen's Singles champion & World No. 1 Roger Federer. I really hope he bags the trophy again and equal the record of Bjorn Borg who won 5 consecutive Wimbledon Gentlemen's Singles titles. For the women's singles, I go for Maria Sharapova--both for playing style (minus the yelling) & fashion inspiration on the court. Hehe...FAST FACTS:1. A wooden racket was last used at Wimbledon in 1987.
2. There will be approximately 200 ball boys and girls running around the courts at this year's event.
3. There are currently 20 grass courts available for play at the Wimbledon complex.
4. The youngest player ever to compete at Wimbledon was Mita Klima from Austria, who was 13 during her 1907 singles competition.
5. Since 1922, there have only been four championships in which there was no rain - 1931, 1976, 1993 and 1995.Enjoy the games!
Great that the bus driver cooperated with me today...u know what i mean. Hehehe..
Last night, my friend Mela & I watched "Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer." It was just OK with me. I expected more from this flick. I waited with so much excitement for its release but there was a bit of disappointment. The special effects were great but the romantic thing between the silver guy & the invisible woman was "Filipinoish". Hehehe
Well what do you think about the film?
I wanna say this day is a good one. I started it right by having a conversation with the love of my life. Im feeling better and I should say, although each day is a test...surely I'll be able to go thru everything thrown at me.
With God's love & guidance, I am strong.
