Some Girly Moments: Preparing for K&H Wedding - Review of the Purple Dress From Forever 21
11:40 AMI'm not much of a girly person and I have known that since I was little despite playing with Barbie dolls (though together with that, I also played with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Snoopy and X-Men figurines). But when it comes to weddings, all the girlyness in me suddenly comes out as I think of ways on how I should look in this formal occasion---whether I'm just a guest or have a role in it. Since I don't have a lot of formal dresses, I make it a point to match my dress with the wedding's motif. As a result, I really buy a new dress whenever I'm invited on a wedding of a relative or friend.
In the case of my Kalayaan College friends' wedding, Kharlo and Honey, I was asked by the bride to be an emcee in the dinner reception together with another KC friend, Dia. Since I had a role, I wanted to make sure to get a great dress that would match the occasion. Dia and I set a day to shop for that and, after looking around SM Megamall, we both decided to get identical purple dresses from Forever 21.
Pictures Speak Louder Than Words
This is one section in my blog where I feel that pictures says a lot that I don't need to write something about it.

Kharlo and Honey's Wedding - 8.20.2011
Pictures courtesy of my fellow Kalayaan College friends since I don't have my own camera yet.
The pictures say it all: Kharlo and Honey, my Kalayaan College friends, are totally in love and I'm very happy that they finally got married. I know they are happy with each other and will be able to overcome obstacles in the years to come. I am happy and honored to be one of the emcees for the dinner reception.
All these pictures say it all: their wedding is unique, special and full of love. :)

One of the most prominent events last year was the Manila Hostage crisis, which happened on August 23, 2010 at the Rizal Park, Manila. For those who have been living under the rock for a year, here's a summary of it:
The Manila hostage crisis occurred when a dismissed Philippine National Police officer took over a tour bus in Rizal Park, Manila, Philippines on August 23, 2010. Disgruntled former senior inspector Rolando Mendoza, from the Manila Police District (MPD) hijacked a tour bus carrying 25 people (20 tourists and also a tour guide, all from Hong Kong, and four Filipinos) in an attempt to get his job back. He said that he was summarily dismissed without the opportunity to properly defend himself, and that all he wanted was a fair hearing.
The first shots were heard about ten hours into the standoff, after which the Filipino bus driver escaped from the bus and was shown on television saying "everyone is dead" before being whisked away by police. The ensuing rescue assault mounted by the MPD and resulting shoot-out, which was widely criticized by pundits as "bungled" and "incompetent", was watched by millions on live television news and took around 90 minutes. Eight of the hostages and Mendoza were killed; many other hostages and bystanders were injured. (Source: Wikipedia)
