PA-slash-Bridesmaid on call, 24/7.

This morning, Kuya Toto, Ate Maui and I headed to PETA to meet with Carlon, as he was to be the choreographer for their first dance as husband and wife. Ate Maui wanted a little twist to it, and Tad had recommended Carlon, so we had set to meet this morning. We arrived pretty early, so we got to watch the opening number of Karaoke Dreams being filmed in the theater for video viewing purposes. As Carlon wasn't included in the next scene, the four of us started talking outside the theater. Discussed the details of how Ate Maui wants the dance to be, plus the songs she wants to use, and other concerns. She was supposed to mull about something, but my eyebrows suddenly shot straight up when Kuya instantly said a quick reply. Hmmm... I wonder how this will turn out. Anyway. Hahaha, Carlon had quipped that I was the couple's PA, as I was trying to help out a little in everything they do.

Hahaha, being the couple's only bridesmaid in the country, I'm always with Kuya Toto and Ate Maui almost half the time when they're doing certain errands as preparation for their wedding. Parang personal assistant na rin and younger sister to Ate Maui, as her sisters Tintin and Trixie won't be arriving from Canada until next week.

Anyway, after PETA, we headed to Greenhills for lunch and hopefully shop for the baskets they were looking for. Unfortunately, we couldn't find a place to park, so we decided to head on over to Festival Mall to have lunch because that was our next stop anyway. Lunch at Superbowl, then off to Santi's Deli to assemble the perfect Christmas giveaway basket for their wedding sponsors. Wheee, lots of wine to choose from. But of course, we still had to stick to the motif, as Ate Maui still wanted everything in blue. She finally assembled a basket that had wine with a blue label, brie cheese, a couple of chocolate bars, crackers and pate... all with blue packaging. Hahaha.

After a coffee break, we went to Purple Closet in Westgate next to meet with Ann. Ate Maui still needed to have her veil made, plus the secondary veil for the ceremony, the traditional garter (in midnight blue to stick with the theme), and another white dress for the dance. I like Ann better than Michelle of Trends, where our dresses are still a work-in-progress due to her sloppy decision-making (and excuse-making). This one knows what she's talking about, and easily sketched the kind of dress Ate Maui wanted.

Speaking of Trends, we were supposed to have another gown fitting yesterday. But Michelle had to reschedule it to Tuesday, waaah. I sure hope it will be in the morning.

Anyway, so because of all that (and that was just today), I sure hope I can tag along to their pre-nup photo shoot in Tagaytay later this week. That would be really fun to watch. Paninindigan ko ang pagiging PA ko, hehehe. And of course, I always can't resist the call of Tagaytay's cold climate, hahaha.

  1. It's December, for heaven's sake. You honestly thought you'd find decent parking without a driver? :))

  2. Hahaha, sorry po. Was with balikbayans. We could've queued up for the parking and waited, but we had so much to do, so we left na.
