one of the kardashian sisters (khloe) got married to lakers’ lamar odom last weekend (09-27-09). 250 star-studded guests (as expected)… flocked a beverly hills mansion as the venue of the event. many are raising brows when the couple jumped in tying the knot just after a month of being together. for me, the hell with what other say!… it’s a couple’s prerogative, there’s no such thing as getting-to-know stage anyways. it takes forever to know one!… getting hitched immediately is the thing that float their boat!
good luck!

the name is Kendra Wilkinson, one of the three beautiful women of the reality show ‘the girls next door’. i just watched the complete wedding ceremony awhile ago from E-channel and yes the ceremony melts my heart. ’twas held at the playboy mansion last june 27th, 2009… hugh hefner open heartedly honor the request of the couple to hold the wedding in latter place. i admire the girl!… nothing superficial about her, she seems so real… i find the man very adorable and very affectionate to Kendra… the hubby’s name is Hank Baskett, a known football player who hail from New Mexico.
there are tons of reality shows in local and cable channels, by the way this is the “it” thing nowadays … i noticed one thing though that most of them are– “FAKE!” with the likes of The Hills, Laguna Beach, The Real Wives… so on and so forth. it’s very rare to see a couple who stars in reality shows that i feel genuinely are in love but this couple is different… none are arrogant nor they portray being cool, well they don’t need to try hard on that aspect since the couple is indeed cool.
the bride was presented by his only brother- Colin… on the first dance, the groom cried and on the night before the wedding day the man was the one who uttered… “forever” he wants it to be… you’re a lucky girl Kendra!

there’s something about Tea Theme Party that is very appealing to me. the kind of get together that encompasses the semblance of calmness, 
comfort, light-mood and tradition. tea party as reminiscent of Victorian era can set the mood of women to put-on some unassuming gesture of being a lady.
i grew up surrounded with girl stuffs being the only lass of five brood. my mother took pleasure in pampering me with dolls, stuffed toys, cookware toys, sanrio knickknacks and dresses… this is how i started my relationship with girly things! … and i still do!… no wonder i find it comforting to watch the movies that inspired by Jane Austen’s novel. it depicts women in a feminine yet highly principled way, stimulating discussion either in group or between lady friends were always accompanied with a cup of freshly brewed tea and tiny pastries… oh! lovely.
what draws me to Tea Party? … well… the hat, the dress, the china wares and of course the fine sandwiches and pastries often serve with tea. i wouldn’t mind to have a ravishing petite sandwiches made of pumpernickel or wheat bread, a sumptuous slice of pound cake or strawberry shortcake, an inviting scones and tarts or a delectable blueberry and banana walnut muffin… the inviting presentation of these bite-size sandwiches and pastries in a stack-up trays and colorful china teaware that is set in the garden, patio or simply in the comfort of your living room… that is what i call a simple yet grand comfort.
tea and the tiny bits of delicacies are the best companion of conversation, the tradition that passed vastly from Chinese as early as 2737 BC to Japanese then Europe in 1652 then in America in 1690… presently, Tea Party is widely used as a simple way of entertaining guests at home, hotels and some restaurants.
i recommend for you to experience the Tea Room of Huntington Botanical Garden located in San Marino, California. it’s a very awesome place and the room is in the amidst of the luscious garden.
i hope one day i could host a tea party for my dear friends or i hope to receive an invite for this theme… i will gladly attend and enjoy my cup of tea!

i was browsing on cable channels recently, out of boredom obviously and I came across the show called “my super sweet 16″… oh, i finished the 
show, by the way… to summarized it in one word!— it’s “crazy!”
you could see how bratty and demanding the celebrant was, well of course with the willing and tolerating parents, i may say. her sweet 16 is far way more than an average wedding celebration.
from expensive gown, tiara, reception and of course a brand new BMW sweet 16 present, friends were howling with envy and eye popping moment from the teenagers when the car was presented to the sweet sixteen celebrant. every teenager yearns to drive their own wheels and it doesn’t hurt if it’s a beamer or benz. i’ve never seen a sweet 16 celebration as grand as this with an easy total damage of $200,000.00!
given this money, would you dare throw it on something like this? I surely know… I wont!

a day to shower with gifts!… no matter what kind of shower party it is, gift giving is a must. i have attended numerous shower party, mostly bridal and indeed it is such a fun-filled event. one thing i love about the shower party is its intimate gathering which means everyone who are present in the party is a friend of the celebrant.
for those who want to throw a shower, the etiquette below will help a great deal to make a successful and non-awkward party. there are three factors to make the event possible… 1st is the hostess, a person who will organize or initiate the party, 2nd is the guests, people who are friends of the guest of honor which is the 3rd factor of the event. guest of honor is simply the person that the party is being given to.
here are the simple etiquette!
- never give your own(guest of honor) shower… this must be given by the hostess who is obviously your friend.
- as a hostess, you are in-charge to choose where to hold it, sending out the invitations and shower favors are your responsibilities too… as a hostess keep in mind that shower party is something informal so a friendly and pleasant atmosphere must be the goal.
- the hostess should only invite guests that the guest of honor knows… sorry! but this is for friends and close friends only.
- men and women are ok… don’t limit it for women’s gathering only.
- the venue should be comfortable… usually being held at the place of the hostess or any place that everyone will feel at home.
- must be a fun-filled celebration… that’s why the venue is important because of there are games and activities involve.
- as a guest of honor, you must send out a simple thank you note for the guests and hostess… a hand-written one is more personal and sincere.
- foods are served… can be held at any time of the day, depending on the availability of the guest of honor.
- 2-3 hour of celebration is enough… no need to prolong the celebration since the goal is mainly to flourish the guests of honor with gifts by doing so dull moments can be avoided.
a great music to indulge for a festive mood, why not?!… it’s not part of the etiquette but will surely make the party a blast!
