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.
