Huwhapakkkkkk

this can only be cosmic retribution for every time i crowed over a 33.3-peso purchase at an ukay-ukay or a 200-peso pair of sandals at landmark.

this morning, i found out what a wedding gown costs. and now, at 7:10 p.m., my heart has resumed close-to-normal functions, finally sending up some much-needed blood to my brain, and i am actually capable of having thoughts on the matter.

i can't believe that i will be spending more on approximately 12-hour use of a couple of meters of cloth than on a 24-hour rental of a 2-hectare farm and garden.

i can't believe i've dreamt of wearing this garment my whole life and now i''m mentally running for the first burlap sack i can find, and dying it white. (with maybe some touches of gold.)

i can't believe marlon and i are going to spend so much on me. can't the four bridesmaids, two mothers, three secondary sponsors, two flower girls, three ring/coin/bible bearers, best man, maid of honor and marlon wear it too? can't we all just share and be happy?

i can't believe that wedding dresses in singapore cost at least 24 times more.(kamusta naman at wala talaga akong tiwala sa mga sastre nila doon.) this information was volunteered just a couple of minutes ago by marlon, to explain his unnatural calm when i told him the figures.

magtanan na lang kaya kami.

or maybe i've been shopping at too many ukay-ukays for far too long.
