Philippines Survival Kit: Easy June Wedding Preparation

-
by: N. Lucenario

A catholic wedding in the Philippines is fairly easy to arrange because there are many options that cater to all the aspects of the event. The Philippines has an abundance of beautiful churches, both in the middle of cities and in more nature surrounding destinations. The innate Filipino love of food has made sure that there are many options for catering.

 Many Filipino designers already have options for venue and table decorations, and even for that perfect wedding dress. Here are a few tips that could help a newly engaged couple work their way to the best deals for their dream wedding:

1. Venue is the best place to start. The biggest question that needs to be answered first is where you want the wedding to be. Do you want a beach wedding, a garden wedding or maybe one in the Manila Cathedral itself? There are many options and the venue can even help dictate the theme of the wedding itself. Either way, the venue is usually the hardest thing to book so you have to do it early. Once a venue has been decided, it will be easier to factor in the catering, documentation and reception venues with consideration to convenience.

2. Look for package deals. Many wedding reception venues (that are usually already located near churches) offer package deals that help you with catering, decorations, audio-visual equipment and any other feature that you may need at your event. However, don’t think that these will limit your choices. Usually, a large reception venue will even have more than one partner for each of these aspects and will give you the chance to meet each of them before making a final decision. You can still choose to bring in your own contacts, but it can be much easier to choose from the ones available.

3. Hire a wedding planner. The easiest way to ensure that your special day is perfect is hire someone to help. There are many people who can be the ones that search for all the things you need and just present them to you. This way, all you need is to choose your preference.

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

All Saints and All Souls Day Coming Up in Novaliches, Quezon City

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
