spending the holidays

as the manila based tuano side of the family is to celebrate christmas here at our home, the LA based tuano's are to make a trip to Las Vegas for the holidays. how i wish it was the manila based going to Las Vegas but that would be wishful thinking. tito majal has made reservations as early as last month as Las Vegas Hotels are usually booked during this season. of course they want to make sure they get a good accomodation so they had to book early. they are to watch the Cirque du Soleil show and the kids and kids at heart are all excited even if this is actually not the first time they are watching.

my second cousin is to get married on the 27th of december and my dad is one of the sponsors for the wedding. my tita dropped by the house last night and told us that they are neck deep with the wedding preparations. one of the hardest they had to deal with were the flowers. my tita had a flower shop but she had to close it when they moved to the states. so you could just imagine how particular she is with the flowers. she has not found a florist that could meet all her demands so she's to arrange all the flowers for the wedding. she just decided to get wholesale roses for my cousins bouquet,that of the entourage and for the decorations. she says it will take a lot of work but since she only wants the best, she has to do it herself. in fact they have saved money also in doing this. the flowers are to be delivered the day before the wedding and she has hired 2 other people to help her with it. she says it does not matter that she is dead tired on the day of the wedding as long as my cousin has beautiful flowers on her wedding day.

december are filled with weddings. 2 friends are getting married by december. unfortunately, i won't be able to go to one of them since the wedding is in the states. lisa is on the last leg of planning her wedding. i heard that having a wedding in the states is really expensive that is why she is doing everything she could to save. she got wholesale flowers that her sister will arrange for the wedding day. she says it's much cheaper than getting a florist for the wedding. at least she could spend more on food and drinks.
