I witness how stressful ate was with the wedding preparation from the Gown, invitation, cake, souvenirs, reception, church, number of guests, expenses and so on and so forth. I just came to realize that wedding event is very matrabaho.. Hahahaha.. I attest to that. Before the wedding, I always do my own preparation. So, I could look young and loving it.
I was so excited with the wedding event. I woke up by 2am to cook our breakfast meal. Partida, I slept past 11pm. I have never been so excited like this. Maybe, It's my first time to go to Tagaytay City, Funny but true. Time is running slowly.. I can feel how slowly the tick of the clock runs thru my watch. It's like spend the whole 15 hours as meaningful as we could. Hmmmpf!
On our way to Tagaytay City. My first plan is to do my morning routine which is jogging, once we arrive at the place. I feel the excitement inside of me. I was thinking.." Ano kaya ang manyayari?" I honestly hope that the wedding turns well. Manong driver played old fashioned songs such as "Basta't maghintay ka lamang and Malayo pa ang umaga" I told myself.. "May ibig sabihin kaya ang mga songs na ito. The dawn is finally breaking and I could see the sunrise happily. I was fascinated with the place. I could see the Taal Volcano at the window. My first reaction was "WOW!" I can see my mouth encircled. I was like a grade school having his first educational trip. Hahahaha..
Finally, After a long trip, we arrived at Country Homes II at past 8am. Again, I was amazed with the blue house. It's simple but relaxing. As we enter the place, I have no other words to say but "This place is really beautiful" The structure and the house design is really awesome. It's like living in a first class hometown. It sounds exaggerating but It's true.. The warmth of the sun touching my skin, the soothing smell of cool breeze of the morning. I can feel the essence of Aura in Tagaytay City. Two thumbs up for me!
I did my morning exercise but, I don't feel the sweat flowing inside my body. Is it because of the Cool wind?? I went for a walk and I do a bit scavenger look. Is that the term scavenger or site seeing? just to make it simple and concise. The place is good. I could recommend Country Homes II, As your reference for accomodation on your upcoming vacation. Just be careful of the antiques and any valuable things inside the house, if you dont wanna get penalized. Just a piece of advise.I took a nap after the site seeing drama upstairs. It looks creepy but I didn't mind it at all.
After a sweet nap, I saw the girls starting to do their make up and hairstyles. I must say that the girl who does the make up is really great. People started to get busier than busy. The videographers came and began to shoot us. I feel like that my acting carreer has finally come. Wahahahahahahaha..... The visitors from my mother side had finally arrived and the food is here at last. I feel the sound of my stomach. The photographers came past 2pm and started to do the photoshoot. What tha.....????????
We all started to fixed ourselves and get dressed. I spent 45minutes taking a bath. I assure that all dirt living inside my whole body would disappear. I put my clothes on. I'm not used to wear AMERICANA. I swear! I feel like attending a prom night or an awards night rather. Feeling celebrity. Ika nga nila. We made few shots and few video shoots before we went to church. I hugged my sister. Just to say "I will miss you" Yun na pala yun. I cannot believe that the moment has come and the wedding is on.
I told myself that I'm not going to cry by the time she walked through the aisle. But, I was wrong..As I saw the church door opened and the strong winds of tagaytay hit her viel and trying her best to stompped her first foot up the stairs maintain her composure. I said to myself.. "This is it..!" A blast from the past when we were kids played on my head. I just remembered the fruitful years we had. All our downfalls, laughter and every single moment we spent together made me realized that we are not getting younger anymore. I got teary eyed every step of the way. I can feel my father's presence through strong winds, trying to tell her happy he is.. I just also realize being my father's proxy is not bad at all.
As we reached the line were kuya Ejay is waiting for us. I took a deep breath and I start to handshake him and address my congratulations. I told her Groom "Take care of my sister" The wedding ceremony went good. I remember what the priest said "There's no such thing as love at first, but rather attraction at first sight". It sounds so true that we cannot say we are in love at first sight. Would you agree? Yeah right!
In the middle of wedding ceremony, I can sense my mom was carried away with the situation, Watching her first born daughter getting married. Very melodramatic.. The guy at the top sings at the top of his lungs with a nice rendition of IKAW, which is always the top choice songs during the wedding event. YEAH RIGHT! We went to the reception area and celebrate the rest of the evening with the newly weds. The only embarassing moment I had is the photobooth. Parating nasisra, everytime na turn ko na.. But the rest are doing really good. I was touched with the Video. Sabi ko sa sarili ko.. Ito na talaga ito..."
I'm happy that my sister found her happily ever after on her 30's. It's not easy to keep a 7 years relationship and settle down after. It was a wonderful experience and I will always cherished this for the rest of my life. I'm always here for you whatever happens.. andito lang kami sa bahay..I love you ate..
