It's February and it's getting kinda suffocating in the sense that "love" is in the air; and though try as one might the pressure of getting a date on the so-called "hearts day" is getting ridiculous. But then, like I've said try as one might, you can't helped but think of your ideal "lovelife".
Personally, when I do get married,I want the wedding ceremony itself to be simple, romantic and intimate. I really want it to just be me, my husband-to-be, our parents and siblings and five or six of our closest friends, who will serve as our witnesses, maid of honor and bestman and the rest of the entourage. I want it solemn in a small church or chapel full of flowers and just one singer to sing our wedding song. We'll make our own vows and our parents will give us messages in the church. It'll probably be around afternoon and everybody will be in our favorite colors probably blue and yellow. Of course, all the girls will be in a dress and all the boys will either be in a coat and tie or a barong. The dresses will be sort of summery and flowing. Of, course the wedding dress will be a full skirt with a veil no train if you please. It will be sort of a short sleeved dress with some lace and bead work. The groom of course will be in a barong.
The reception will be a whole lot different. It will be fun and boisterious. All our relatives and friends will be invited. There will be a separate party for the kids with a clown, and bubbles exhibition and animal shows and stuff. Then a separate one for the teenagers with dancing and bands. And also for the oldies, with their vidoeke and ballroom dancing and all.There will be fun and games. Games that the whole family can join. I want it held in a beach with a pool and everybody can have a pool party, a campfire or a barbecue. There will be dancing and bands and stuff. People getting to know each other and stuff. That'll be great.
Now the honeymoon....well somewhere nice and peaceful...somewhere cold. Where we can coddle by the fireplace, toast marshmallows and have hot chocolate. Where we can do snowboarding(hehehe!) or he can teach me how, and have a snow ball fight and make angels in the snow. Where we can stroll after dinner and just be together.
To have all of the above, I guess I'd need a husband. My ideal mate would be somebody who is God-fearing and spiritually strong and mature. Course, I'd want him to be taller than me and patient, especially with me. Somebody who is responsible and can decide things in a snap. Somebody who has principles and stand by his decisions. I'd also want him to be easy to talk to and can make me smile.
Happy hearts month!

Blog of the Month (January) - How Can I Make Butuan a Better Place to Live in?
Thinking about marriage and family made me think about where I want to live and where I want to raise my family.
Currently, I live in Butuan City, the so-called capital city of CARAGA...
Growing up here and living more than half my life...I don't think I want to raise my family here. Why? you ask. Mainly because the growth and development of Butuan is so sllloooooooowwww that a snail can outrun it. I was already in my last or second to the last year in high school when the first Jollibee was opened. We used to have a Shakey's but it closed after...hmmmm... four/five months? The first "mall" was opened when I was in my last year in college....uh! DUH! Thus we had McDonalds and Pizza Hut...Well, Greenwich was opened a month or so I guess after Jollibee.
The "mall" by the way is three or four stories and opens at nine and closes at eight and their last full show in their cinemas is at nine. I don't think we have a five star hotel here...or a fine dining restaurant.
When I do have a family, I'll raise my children here if Butuan has the following:
If and when Butuan has a really nice and secure park, complete with sand box and swings and slides and seats for children to play. Also a park where families can have a picnic in relative peace where you don't have to worry about people getting your stuff or kids asking money or food from you while you and your family are eating. A park where you can fly a kite, play frisbee or just jog around or walk your dog.
Also I'd want a museum...like a children's museum where kids can touch the items displayed and play with them. Where they can be educated too, outside the classroom. An interactive museum...yeah, that's it!
A zoo too, where kids can actually see the animals they can only see on tv or in books...
The above would be really fun.
And yeah a play center, where working moms can leave their kids knowing that they are safe and well taken care of.
