A Not - So Traditional Bridal Shower

Months of preparation has finally paid off. Janine's friends from her work made it to the party, Janine's high school friends were also there, and of course, Mina and Eliza were also there. Too bad, some people whom I expected to be there did not make it because of unavoidable circumstances. But just the same, we all had a blast!

Three Destinations, One Night

Destination One: a hotel in Makati..

We had the traditional shower party in the hotel, had a few traditional games, we taught Janine a few traditional things (wink! wink!). I hosted the games (since the games were my not-so-brilliant idea). My voice was really raspy (still is!) from all the stress and sleepless nights (I actually think I sounded very manly but very sexy!). It was nice of Janine to be so "game" (read: not so conservative) with what we asked her to do. The cake was absolutely delicious and so was the food!

Destination Two: The Unspeakable Destination

I can not talk about this destination but we had a great laugh! I was able to experience a few things that I thought I would never have the opportunity to do. It was weird but it was very exciting, really, really exciting!

Destination Three: Off the Grill, Timog, Quezon City

We hurried off to OTG to catch Janine's favorite band (aside from Side A of course!), 7th Soul. We caught the last set but too bad, they were only able to sing 3 songs, the set was full of request for jammers. I think the band liked it a little because they all sounded under the weather.

Back to the Hotel...

After watching 7th Soul, we took Eliza home to his wonderful husband (thank you Jeff for understanding!), and Benjie Girl to her home in Manila, we headed back to the hotel. We ate left over cake, left over food and watched the DVD that was a gift for Janine. We (or I) slept at around 5am. Janine woke up early, around 6:30am because she has to go to this interview. I left the hotel at around 10 am. Mina was left all alone because she's waiting for her loving boyfriend.

I was tired but very happy. My heartfelt thanks to Janine's friends from work, her high school friends, Mina and Mommy Eliza. This would have not been successful if not for you.. (tear!) Thanks a lot and God bless you! (",)
