4 SHOWERS

One of the most exciting and fun part of getting married is this! I am so lucky to have met thoughtful friends and loving in laws who went out of their way to prepare and surprise me with these bridal showers.

1) My college friend Marielle and Naomi, a friend from highschool in Ilocos surprised me with a spa bridal shower last January 6-a Sunday. I've chosen this 2 ladies to be a part of our wedding entourage because both of them happen to play important roles in my life's journey... I feel so special, this two ladies actually are from 2 different barkadas that I have and surprisingly, the two ended up doing this together for me. That's probably in between law books & work shifts :) I love you both!

This is us after our very relaxing swedish massage.

Hmmm, another surprise gift????

Whatta!!!!!!! Its a fondant cake of a woman sitting in a pxxxs! That's me daw! accdg to Naomi hehehe! That was really funny & crazy! Especially coming from 2 o the most conservative friends that I have! hahahaha!

This is us at PASTO, Eastwood Citywalk after the surprise shower party. Thanks so much guys! You just don't know how much I appreciate all the effort and the love. I will surely have to thibk of better surprises when time comes that I have to prepare a shower for the both of you!!! :) More? click this, this, and this.

2) A shower from Jp's mom, cousins, aunts, lolas etc etc last Jan 5! love. love.love. Nobody can beat the warmth of the CunaS. I must say that I am pretty lucky to be a part of this family. Words can't express how thankful and blessed I feel. This women are the most excited for our wedding. I guess, this is one of the reasons why our wedding turned out very happy and grand. Our guests/relatives blissfully celebrated with us.

This is everyone after the very generous & special shower :)

3)Girlfriends from the office where I used to work prepared a shower dinner for me at Marios Tiendesitas.... which I unintentionally almost missed. My uber busy schedule both with wedding preps n office tasks really got into me that night. Good thing, I was told earlier that day that I am not allowed to RAINCHECK :). It's good that I showed up for this was actually planned especially for me! If not, Aj would've have ended up wearing the white lingerie, Smile could've taken home the "cream" thing and Hazel could've used the frenzy hahaha!

These are the crazy friends that I met @ Traffic Power in 2005.

4) I love my in-laws. For one, I get along with them so well. We enjoy doing things together-- shopping and eating to name a few hehehe. They were the very first to host a shower for me. December palang tapos na!!! Ate Ina & Nina gave me this black pair of lingerie from MNG. I love it. Simple and daring :P Kara, on the other hand, gave me a more conservative gift. a MNG razorback which I just love wearing to sleep.

This is us in Cibo, Shangri-la last December 06. More photos here.

Thanks friends and family for all of this! You made my wedding event more perfect :) More than the generous gifts, I am thankful for the presence,time & effort given. Update:) the lotions, shower gels, I started using some of them already. I love all the scents :) For the lingeries- not yet coz of this not so cooperative & not so funny monthly event. The T- backs, I am still trying to begin to love it hehehe. For the creams and c-nd-ms, its safely kept ( I don't need it yet hehe). The cake is divided into 2. We ate the cake at home and the p---s topper was fondly eaten by Ms Mabel of Cest'ca. She was the only person who had the guts to swallow it hehe! and for the shower money, it's saved for future needs!:) Thanks! Thanks! I am sincerely grateful and very happy.
