This has been a busy week. I am SO HAPPY that it's friday already. Imagine having millions of priority projects going on at the same time. (Of course that's an exaggeration. :p) And imagine having to move deadlines every 10 minutes. No kidding! The plans change every 10 minutes. TGIF talaga!!!

The Kapamilya Homecoming event will happen tomorrow here at ABS. Wasn't supposed to go, but since there's free food (ehehehe cheapo!) then we'll probably drop by.

Happy weekend, everyone!

Been sleeping really late the past few days. I'm really like this. Once I start, I can't stop. Which is bad because there's work tomorrow.

Went to an officemate's wedding yesterday. It was beautiful. Everything was perfect except for one thing, which is okay since everyone says that it's almost impossible that nothing goes wrong during a wedding. The emcee was just too funny, funny in a really bad way. Won't go into details. It's enough to say that she's one emcee everyone should avoid. But if that's the only negative thing about the wedding, then that's saying a lot. The wedding was lovely and truly memorable.

The motif of the wedding was lime green, fuschia, and freesia. Actually, the colors have more exotic names but it's easier to describe it with those simple words. The gowns of the bridesmaids were really funky, really modern. The beadwork was beautiful. Gowns were by Rajo Laurel. So yes, they're beautiful, but I'm sure the price was "beautiful" also - beautiful for Rajo. :) The ceremony was held in the Nuestra Senora Church in Guadalupe. The reception was held in the Rockwell Tennis Courts. The centerpieces for the tables for the guests were beautiful! Four sets of flowers - freesia-coloerd hydrangea (?) in one vase, white roses in one vase, 3 (really) long bamboo sticks with 1 flower each in one vase, and fuschia orchids in one vase. Food was by Via Mare. I only got the stuffed chicken and the lumpia, and IT WAS GOOD! Weddings aren't usually known for the food that's served, but the food was just yummy. I'm sure that the blue marlin and the ox tail was good too.

After the usual ceremonies a retro band played. I wasn't able to get the name but they were awesome. People actually danced! That's not common in weddings, or at least the weddings that I attend. I think that was the advantage of having the reception in a relatively open place. It was like a mini-concert.

92AD was the group that sang in the Church and during the reception. They're good, except for some mistakes in a couple of songs. Not glaring, so forgiveable. The AVP, prepared by Jenny Celdran, was LOVELY! Not the usual AVP. Really interesting!

The crowd was generally young. So the couple made sure that there were a lot of drinks. A LOT. That's even an understatement. There were just too many drinks that by the end of the reception, the couple's closest friends, most of them part of the entourage, were all drunk! Which I think is really nice since that's what a wedding is all about anyway. It's about celebrating the life that the couple will be spending together. It's about celebrating the love that the couple share with one another.

Wow, this has been such a long entry already. I guess I just can't run out of words for the wedding of my friend. I'll end this with a note for them, if ever they get to read my blog: Congratulations and best wishes to you guys. That was a lovely and memorable wedding. I'm grateful to have been a part of it. I hope that it's a preview of your future. :)

He was told to have an additional 2-week leave. I think that if he had his way he would have had an additional 1-week leave only.

Bought a Happy Meal (pancakes) this morning because I wanted to get either Bloat or Pearl, but guess what - Nemo toys are out of stock. I ended up getting a lame Ronald toy. I guess McDonald's didn't expect that their Nemo toys would be in demand.

Watched Dawson's Creek on Studio 23 last night. The episode was about Joey and Pacey being stuck in a K-Mart store overnight. It was so sweet! I really like them as a couple, and if I had my way the title of the show would be Joey and Pacey's Creek. I totally don't like Dawson. I followed each episode before, especially when Joey and Pacey were together. But after that season, I wasn't interested anymore. So it was really a treat for me seeing them together last night.

Jax, I read about the last episode na. Bitin naman. Everyone still likes each other, ehehe.

We bought two happy meals already just to get the Finding Nemo toys from McDonald's. I now have Nemo and Dory. Dory's so cute!!! The sound she makes is that of a whale. I really found those scenes hilarious.

Friday Five!

1. How much time do you spend online each day?
Almost 10 hours? From the time I arrive in the office until I leave, I'm online.

2. What is your browser homepage set to?
My blog. :D

3. Do you use any instant messaging programs? If so, which one(s)?
Yup! Before, I used ICQ and Yahoo. But everyone in the office uses MSN so I had to use it. Then I found Trillian, which combines all of the instant messengers. So now I only have to launch one program, not three.

4. Where was your first webpage located?
I didn't have a webpage before. I didn't know anything about html and making webpages, so there. :)

5. How long have you had your current website?
Since May last year, I think.
