Here Comes the Blogger all Dressed in White

Okay, I know, that totally did not rhyme at all! Haha! Anyway... Last Monday, I attended my cousin CK's wedding somewhere in Alabang, then headed to the reception at the Palms Country Club. She and her husband Eggie have been together for a long time actually and I'm happy to see them get married (finally!). I'm kidding of course, but their wedding was more of for formality's sake seeing how in love they both are. I'll paraphrase what the maid of honor Meryll Yan said at the reception, they are practically "yin and yang"- they balance each other out. I guess you can say the same when it comes to being a blogger/student/daughter/designer in the making/etc, there always has to be a balance.

Here are some photos from the wedding:

Meet my 89 year old grandmother, Cecilia. She is by far, one of the most extraordinary women I know. 

The back of Meryll's dress, I for one super loved her dress.

The maid of honor, Meryll.

The bride, my cousin CK with our nephew Alfonso, who walked her down the aisle.

My sisters Anika and Andrea. To the boys who happened to end up seeing this post: Back off, you're gonna have to go through me first. (In simple tagalog: Bawal!) Haha!

My grandmother at the reception. Fun Facts: She was a former Miss Makati, she is 1/2 German and she is also part French-Spanish. Unfortunately or not, I look oh so oriental. Well, without my colorful heritage, I wouldn't look like me and I guess I look...like a person and that's enough for me, haha!

Suki Salvador and Meryll Yan, friends and colleagues of my cousin from MEGA.

My cousin CK and her husband Eggie. This part of the wedding always gets me interested cause it just looks so cute, that and I also hope for the couple to smash the cake into each other's faces, but knowing that my cousin is OC that obviously didn't happen. Would've been funny though if it did!

My cousin Pie with her son, Rafa <3

That's pretty much the wedding really, so here's tiny ol' me:

I wore a dress that was recycled from a prom I was invited to before. I actually used this as a costume too, haha! If it's one thing I've learned about having clothes made is that always make sure it's not a "one-time-big-time" use thing. I mean take the Dutchess of Cambridge, Catherine for example. She's used clothes from former events and re-used it in a different way.

Here's me being...my awkward self:

A couple of things, that I was reminded of and I should keep in mind now that I'm about to enter college: Balance is definitely the key to everything and it's alright to repeat clothes, just not the exact same outfit! 

Until the next one,
