Bonding at La Mesa Eco Park

It was a sunny Saturday,and while a lot of people are going crazy over different shopping sale here in there,my family decided to spend it on a much calmer note, so we went to La Mesa Eco Park.

It was my first time to be there…ever! hehe. And may I say that I really love that there are trees that grew so high that you just felt how huge the place is. The grasses spread on different spots where you can just lie down and hang out.

There are some activities that can be done inside their vicinity like trampoline jumping, horse riding, and archery (which I tried and failed to succeed. Lol)

Here I am channeling Katniss Everdeen!

Results aren’t as pretty though! hahaha

And since we aren’t really as prepared as we should be, these are the only snacks we ate! hahaha.. and we bought it on their mini canteen and other available kiosk there.

Here are some of the other photos I’ve taken:

If you're looking for a place just to hang out, bond, talk and don't spend a lot of money, then I say this is a good place to go. Just don't expect a lot, instead try to enjoy the fresh air and the wide space..😊

November 15, 2012: A Santos + Santos Wedding (a Bridesmaid’s diary)

November 15, 2012- the day we’ve all been waiting for since the beginning of the year.. my cousin and her fiance’s, now wife’s, BIG day..

Jershel and Danica Santos.. the married couple..

It all started around 7am when I had my breakfast at Richmonde cafe with my cousins (sisters of the groom) and the mothers of both bride and groom. Although it was a buffet, we try not to eat too much so we won’t have problem wearing our gowns later that day…hehe.. but we still make sure we try just about everything..

Make Up sessions started at 8am with our very beautiful make up artist Toni Aviles…

That’s me.. you don’t need to see the BEFORE.. what’s AFTER is more important..😊

Aside from having huge number of make ups that fits every skin tone, every facial features and every style, Toni also got a lot of tips on looking young and staying beautiful,she’s kind enough on sharing her knowledge on these stuffs.. 😊

That’s our pretty make up artist doing the make up of the bride.. she’s pretty isn’t she? 😊

And while it isn’t my turn yet for the hair and make up, i decided to just stroll around and take random photos.. 😊

These are the boquets for bridesmaids (like me..) maids-of-honor (yes,maids! 'cause there were two😊) and both moms of the couple.

Meanwhile, these set of purple and pink roses with swarovsky ornaments belong to the bride.

And this…this is the white,sparkling and extravagant wedding dress that the bride will work in that aisle made by Hana Saab-Tomacruz.

Okay, so it’s my time to shine..i mean to get my make up done..hehe..

For my make up, they use simple and basic colors of blush-on and lipstick.. not to much..just enough to contour my face a little bit so that i’ll have the picture perfect beauty in any angle..lols..😁

For my hair, it’s kind of my idea, with inspiration from various celebrities..hehe..braids and soft curls..that’s my look for that day.

Preparations ended around 2pm, just in time for the 3.30pm wedding mass at Mt.Carmel Church near Broadway.

At 3pm, me, my fellow bridesmaid cousins, the best man and the groom arrived at the church.

Now, that’s me…ready to walk down the aisle, as a bridesmaid of course. Oh i’ll get my turn someday, I just need to find my groom first… hehehe

As for the rest of the day, a lot more had happened. Laughters, Tears (of joy, definitely!) and other memorable things.

Everyone is tired but definitely happy, and this day is about to end, but the couple’s journey to a whole new path of their life together…is just about to begin
