Tell me who your girls are!
Last Sunday, my friends and I threw a surprised bridal shower for a college friend. She was the first one who will ever get marry on our circle of friends, thus we concluded that she deserved this treat. Plus, we all ditched her on the night that was supposed to be her bridal shower.
I had a very hectic schedule that day. I have a wedding to attend at 4 o’clock and this bridal shower at 7 in the evening. My office mate’s wedding started a little bit late that’s why my time screwed up slightly. I didn’t had the chance to eat anymore at the reception because I was the one who was assigned to fetch the bride-to-be.
We checked in a room at Citadel Inn at Makati. I told the bride-to-be that I was just getting something from a cousin of mine. I was with Ara, too at that time. So when we opened the room, all lights were turned off but we saw another friend under the table and that is the time that they had to jumped off from wherever they are and tell the bride-to-be what we’re up to.
We didn’t hire any dancers, mind you. I think they’re expensive plus the fact that those aren’t really our thing. We came up with the porn stars theme, though. We dressed like one except that I never thought they’d really heed that so I just brought a shirt and a shorts. Haha! I think I got them there! We had naughty games, made possible by Sabrina. Food and beers, gift giving and of course pictorials will never be forgotten once you are with these people. There were like, four cameras, I guess? Once you pose, flash lights flicker everywhere you look. We actually have a program planned but once we closed the door of our hotel room, everything around us stopped and it’s like we’re alone in the world that we are free to dance, sing, jump and do crazy stuff. I did see that coming, though!
I left our room at ten in the morning the following day with one of our friend. I have to go to work at two in the afternoon. On my way, I thought about the inevitable fact that we’re not getting any younger. We have passed the day where everyone is throwing a debut and the time when we’re all anxious about the coming graduation. This year, one friend is getting marry. In a few years, another one will tie the knot too and there will be more bridal showers to attend to. I believe I can see baby shower and baptism also in the future.
Our generation is taking over. There are no more rooms for jeans, shirts and sneakers anymore. Sometimes, I feel that I have no choice but to grow up now. Just now, I realized I must act responsibly, face the world with maturity and keep learning in the process. I can’t believe I’m saying this now but we’re all grown ups. Yes, we are.
I try to keep in mind every advice that comes from someone who’s older than me. Someone once told me not to rush things and enjoy life slowly. Another one told me to keep saving for the future. What I have now is not going to be here forever. But I think the best one that I got came from a professor in college. It’s about love. She said that to wait patiently has a satisfying result in the end. It’s not true that good partners are under extinction. If we wait, we’re going to have the best. I guess, I can do that. With flying colors.
Claude also has a blog entry about this event. Go check her out! Also, I created a short video for the bride-to-be. And since our planned program was not followed, I only had the chance to show it to her when we’re about to sleep. I used Butterfly of Crazy Town in this video so anytime soon the audio will be removed by YouTube. For the mean time, please enjoy!
