Why is it Wise to Get Married in August, September and October in the Philippines

-
by: Mrs. Queenie Bolanos

The best months of getting married in the Philippines are August, September and October.

Here are the reasons why:

1. Most Churches are not fully booked. If you want to get married right away, no problem.
2. Weekdays is best, because less traffic and hotels are not crowded.
3. If you like a value for your money wedding, August, September and October are off peak prices.
4. If you plan an exciting wedding here are my tips:

    a. Have your wedding be blessed at Church, nearby where you stay nearest. Have a cozy family
        celebration at a nearby eat all you can restaurant, complete with picture and gifts. If you want, you can           sponsor their stay in a furnished apartment in one day...just to make sure all the brides maid with their
        sponsors are complete, plus their make up are all in place.
   
   Then the next week....

   b. Have a second wedding by the beach or under the sea waters (just make sure its not typhoon which you can easily predict using http://www.accuweather.com) and invite the judge of the town to wed you under sea water. Typically resorts are at 50% discounts during August, September and October. Make sure you have a complete gear. This will officially give you the paper you need for marriage license.

c. Spend overnight at the beach with bonfire and barbecue.

d. If you like to spend time together with your husband or wife for your honeymoon, make sure that this is planned too, go to Pagudpud, Tambumbong, Hundred Islands, Bolinao (go cave hopping, river lunch, and see the light house), eat native food at the famous Binmaley restaurant where Filipino food is authentic.

e.  Newly weds are expected to go island hopping for their honeymoon. The Philippines has 7,107 islands for you to enjoy, and mountains and river riding for you to enjoy this August till October.

August to October are off peak months so better take advantage of  non-holiday and summer prices... more value for your money.

Hair Styles in the Philippines

-
by: JC Bulan In the Philippines, when it rains, it really pours.  Now if you want to keep on looking great with your hair firmly in tact then take note of the following tips. Filipinas like their hair to be classy but not too flashy.  An excellent style for the long-haired gals is the Gibson tuck.  You’ll need a hair tie and pins for this one.  Put your hair up in a ponytail.  Just above the hair tie, part your hair into roughly two equal parts using your finger.  Next, twist your ponytail and insert it into the gap and tuck it inside along with the hair tie.  Wrap your hair up tight and secure the top of the tuck with hair pins.  You might also want to use a hairspray for the finishing touches.  Also it would look more elegant by pulling a few strands of hair for each side of your face. You can do a lot with braids.  One simple style is the high braided bun.  You can create this by first tying your hair in a high pony tail, then section it into three parts.  Get the leftmost part and

by Charles Bolanos All Saints and All Souls Day is a special day in the Philippines. This is the day when we remember the Saints and our beloved departed relatives and friends. Officially we do not have classes on 1 November and 2 November because that is when we are busiest. The government of the  past years typically cancels work on the 30th of October till 3 November. The reason for this is because of the people going to their respective provinces or homes where we gather and celebrate as early as 31st of October. Some even went to a point of sleeping overnight from 31st of October till 2 November. 1 November is actually a feast day as we commemorate those who have lived saintly lives. 2 November is not, but we offer Holy Masses till 30th of November for the souls of our departed relatives and friends. We believe that we gain Plenary Indulgences for them so they have a short stay in Purgatory, since we know that not all of our friends and relatives are saints...Oth
