bridal shower

yesterday's activity was both tiring yet successful. i organized a very intimate bridal shower for my co-therapist Vanessa who's getting married next saturday. i even volunteered my place as the venue. although it was undoubtedly far from our place of work, 5 was able to make it to the event. the other three had other more important things to attend to. so basically, it wasn't really about the distance that kept them from coming.

it was my first time to host such an event. didn't realize though that it would be costly especially when there are only 5 participants (alissa, kathy, janet, vanessa and me). my bad! i took the liberty of ordering a kink cake from a nearby mall for fun's sake. believe me, it was so embarrasing for me to have to walk 3 levels and 2 buildings and carry the cake with the phallic structure to my car. hehe! we ordered chicken from KFC and i cooked my tuna pasta.

we were successful enough to convince her that it was a despedida party for our other friend Janet. as she had to attend a wedding prior to the party, kathy and she came really late (10 pm!) and she was so ashamed for not having come earlier. then, we led her to my house's terrace, which at that time was unlit to conceal our little surprise. when the lights came on, Vanessa, being the girl that she is (i won't mention details! :P), was so amused by the cake. we also had a trivia game. but amazingly, Carlo (Vanessa's fiance) and vanessa matched 100% in their answers. hmm.. we should have made the questions harder! of course, secrets were revealed. ;-)

another highlight of the event was ate Baby's (our secretary at the clinic) message for Vanessa. she was unable to attend the party because she was sick but she really took the time to write down her advice for a blissful married life. we picked up a lot of good points on that one. we're just sorry she couldn't make it. otherwise, the conversations would have been kinkier/naughtier. hehe! sayang! :P

i could clearly see that there is more peace in Vanessa's heart and that ending up with carlo is what she really wants now. well and good! i am sure that they will be a very happy together. good luck to Carlo and Vanessa!
