lessons in life

i lost a shopping bag yesterday amounting to -- well the amount is irrelevant (at least i'd like to think so) but the experience taught me an important lesson.

this prompted me to write down a few notes to self:
- don't rush
- take things slow
- stop, look and listen
- pay attention
- never assume
- do not take things for granted
- take stock of things
- breath in, breath out

lessons are tough and more often than not painful but important in life. it teaches you courage and perseverance. it shapes your character and personality like no one else. it gets you to see the real you and it makes you who are.

here comes the bride...

my friend gina, got married over the weekend and i have to say it was a beautiful wedding. it was the couple who planned for everything -- from the invitations, to the flowers, to the venue, to the tokens for the guests -- everything! it was very well organized -- there were a few close calls but otherwise just perfect. we were honored (and i use that term very loosely) to help coordinate on the day itself and although it was nerve wracking and tiring (running around in heels is not my idea of fun!) not to mention the fact that we had to be up at an ungodly hour because the wedding was to be at 7 in the morning!!! -- it was well worth it though. here are a few of the pictures: the heroes of the day! we accept events coordination for KBL (kasal, binyag at libing)!

my first day on the job

it can only be described in one word -- GOSH! but really the people are friendly and generally accommodating -- a little aloof as can be expected but otherwise kind. the premises are a bit antiquated but otherwise sound. the equipment -- well i'd rather not say. i was expecting the worse but all in all it was a good day. more in the days to follow.
