A little bit EXCITED

Another Location Wedding
Sarangani Island, Davao del Sur

I am a little bit excited about the  sunset beach wedding I will be assisting on May 1.

It will be at Sarangani Island, Davao del Sur.
I  cannot just  boast to anybody that I will be travelling again. Woohhhh, I'm not just a little bit excited, I am super excited! 


I will be preparing the white clothings, ribbons, and flowers for the ceremony. Jump off will be on April 28. Be picking up the flowers from Blooming Petals at Tupi, South Cotabato and will proceed at Gen. 

Santos Port on the 29th.

The groom, Sir Aris is a fellow wedding industry service provider. I had worked with him as our photographer in one of our December 2012 weddings. He is a teacher by profession and a part time wedding photographer and he is a nature lover too.

I am thanking him for the given privilege to be part of his wedding preparation tasks. No, I am not charging him for my services. It will be my token of appreciation for not forgetting me on his big day!


To my excitement, I painted the sunset wedding location  chuvahness on my nails.


To Sir Iris, i am looking forward on your big day! My best wishes.

Reflection:

Visiting an Old Family Friend
the Aquiatan Family

When I first came to Kidapawan City for my first regular employment job, we were accommodated by the  Aquiatan Family. They let us stay in their house for a week for free. The head of the family Manong Anito ( a Boholano folk) and Manang Gloria an Ilocana,. they have 7 children all became my family friend. One of their son became my office mate.

When I became self -employed, i ventured in baking cookies. Starting from nothing, Manang Gloria who bakes banana cake everyday for her living shared the use of her oven to me. Later, I was able to buy my own oven. It was  my dad's favorite oatmeal cookies.  When I started my balloon arrangement business, i handed my oven to a family friend who's daughter graduated from a food technology course.

I became busy with my business when I extended my services in the wedding industry. I got no time to attend family gatherings. When I realized that I am already physically and mentally exhausted with my work, I started accepting few wedding commitments until finally I am willing to stop my business operation.

Searching for treatment for my health problem, I was blessed with a very effective and affordable natural product formulated by Dr. Chanita Villegas Chua. Feeling energized and freed from stress I started to share the product to my friends. Until  I met Manang Gloria's daughter exchanging "no time no see" greetings.
I was told that her mother suffered stroke and got half paralyzed.

The following day, i pay her a visit. I shared the product and give her a massage therapy on her face. Her daughter reminded me that they have no money to pay me for the massage. I told her that it was for free and they don't need to pay me.

Manang Gloria is now 67 years old. In her early years, her Banana cake and Bitso-bitso (fried sticky rice with syrup) were a popular  recess food  along Notre Dame of Kidapawan College- Elementary and High School gate sidewalk.

I thank God for giving me an opportunity to share my precious time to an old family friend who gave me the comfort of their shelter when I came to Kidapawan as stranger. I thank God for the free time I now enjoy.
