A lot to write about. Dawa's wedding is finally over and done with, and it was amazing. After weeks of cramming, rushing, fighting and stressing, the event itself was a true labor of love, and if you permit me to be mushy for a bit, it was a true testament of the relationship between my best friend Dawa and my "kuya" Jay. We were all tired and happy that it was over, but it brought us all closer to each other and I myself am so thankful to have played a part in it. I'm so thankful to Dawa for sharing her family with me, I truly love them all like my own family. And Kix provided so much comfort and laughs aside from doing a lot of leg work himself for the wedding.
The beach trips, the shower, the late nights spent in Dawa's office, the marathon shopping sessions and eventually, the big day, it was all so overwhelming and I will never forget any part of it. The guys over at threelogy did an awesome job with the on-site AVP (except for the close-up of me crying - thanks alot Bong! >:[ ) and I hope they're available for my Dad's wedding next year (Pretty, pretty please!!!)
After the wedding, Eric, Rachel, Kuya Den, the kids and the newlyweds all trekked it over to Bora for a couple of days and Jay wowed us with his dance skills! I don't think I've ever had that much fun in Bora. Ever!
Post wedding, things have quieted down substantially, so I was able to kick it with Glenn and Bianca at the beach for a quiet weekend with Tito Ed, Tita Bunny and the kids. I was so relaxed, one night was all I needed! I am so glad that I'm seeing a lot of Bianca and talking with her lately. I couldn't ask for better friends than the ones I have now.
Speaking of my girls, Bianca and I actually managed to haul Suki out of obscurity on friday night! As usual, hilarity ensued and trips down memory lane. All I can say is, thank God we're able to laugh at ourselves now, because we've been through some funky shit together.
I love how my life goes through stages of hanging with new people but then I always ultimately return to the ones that can tell me I'm a shit to my face. I may not like it, but I think we all need a sharp kick in the ass every now and then to reset our egos. But what's more special is that these same people who keep me grounded are also the ones who make me feel good about myself.
I've decided to spend as much time in the Beach House while I still can. Pre-mature I know, being as there's no definite date as to when I'm moving to Sing except "sometime in 2008", but I just don't want to find myself some time down the line in crowded, dirty water East Coast Park thinking to myself "I wish I had spent more time in Matuod". So after last weekend's Shaniqua adventure (a separate post on that later on), next weekend it's off to the beach again with the usual Matuod group. We missed our September trip because of the wedding, so we're all pretty much itching to go already. It was supposed to be a trip for all the October celebrants, but too bad it looks like some "classmates" can't make it this time. There's always November, guys! And December and January and whenever we can manage to get there because seriously, I need to clock in more Matuod time.
