Day 18: Your wedding / Future wedding / Past wedding
I am still single at age 30 (yeah, it's sad)... and I am not in a relationship either, so wedding and marriage are two things that are still hazy for me. I don't know if marriage is for me, but of course, being a normal person that I am, I also hope, wish, and pray that in the future, I will meet the right man for me, the one who will love me unconditionally, and would spend the rest of his life with me.
I am also the type of person who has her own dream wedding.
These pictures I saw in 2006, and I instantly fell in love with it. I know and I acknowledge that I am a plus size woman, so seeing a wedding gown that looked great on a plus size woman, I immediately saved it, so when my turn comes to walk down the aisle, I will ask a dressmaker to pattern a gown from this one.I was in Grade 4 when I first entered the San Agustin Church in Intramuros, and since then I hoped to get married there. Until now, I still hope that I could get married there, but like what I wrote in a blog post sometime back, if ever my future husband and I can't afford a wedding at the said church, I would be happy for the two of us to sit in one of the benches in the church and exchange our vows.
Wedding march? I would like to walk down the aisle to the violin version of "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong, and yes, I got the idea from the Brad Pitt movie, "Meet Joe Black," when I watched it in the cinema in 1998.
These were just hopes and dreams. I don't know what the future holds for me, but should these dreams weren't realized because of certain things, I would be happy being single or being married to the right man for me. I guess the wedding itself isn't important, it's the marriage in general. As long as I will have a marriage filled with love and respect, I would be the happiest wife in the world.
Day 19 - A Talent of Yours
I don't get to do it that often, but I love to sing. In elementary, I was part of the school's glee club, and in high school, I was one of the select students who was part of the choir during the first Friday masses. I cannot sing like Celine Dion, but I take pride that I can carry a tune.
Actually, when we first had our broadband internet connected, I start my day by logging on to YM Chat, and in certain OFW (Overseas Filipino Workers) chat rooms, I would join the list of chatters who would entertain other chatters by singing some songs.
This picture above was taken nearly a year ago, when my friend Ela and I decided to have a Videoke Day. We decided to make it a Beatles' day, and even if we only had about 20 songs that time, we really had a great time.
Day 20 - A Hobby of Yours
I am not always on the go, but one thing I love to do is to travel. Whether it's here in the National Capital Region or somewhere out of town, I always find pleasure in exploring different places and be awed in the beauty of my own country.
It's quite funny, by the start of 2010, I told myself I won't travel much because I want to save up for a laptop and / or a DSLR camera (or a high end point and shoot camera with telephoto zoom). Even if I already planned to mellow down on traveling, I was still happy that I was able to travel much. Just two weeks ago, I went on a holiday with my dear K and aside from the places here in Metro Manila, we went to Baguio City, Puerto Galera (where the picture above was taken), and Iloilo. We planned to cross over to Guimaras from Iloilo, but we realized Iloilo was quite big of a place that we decided to explore it more. Fourteen days with him was really a great experience, and I could never thank him enough for taking me with him.
The last month of the year was just around the corner... I don't have any more travel plans, but I still am looking forward to some unplanned trips here and there. I guess the itch in my feet will never go away. :)
Other hobbies I have related to traveling are photography and food tripping. I love to take pictures as I go along, and I also love to taste different cuisines. For me, traveling, photography, and food tripping are three things that go really well together.
