Royal Wedding


A lot of people got all enchanted by the said to be the Royal Wedding of the Century. And “a lot” includes me and my mom. It happened Friday here (Philippines) and I was out with my friends. I literally went home early just to see the wed. Ever since I saw their movie I fell in love with both of them. A prince having to fell in love with a commoner and marrying her, it was a total fairy tale coming true.


So as I watched, Prince William and Harry were the first ones who got into the church among the rest of Royal Family. They were followed by Kate’s mom and then Prince Charles and Camilla then the Queen with King Philip and lastly the Kate with his father, Michael. She looks really happy from the glass window of the car that’s taking her to her prince. And the crowd goes loud as she stepped down of the car revealing her long time talked-about Grace Kelly inspired wedding dress. And she looks so stunning. A lot are saying that Princess D’s was better but I liked hers way more. It was real simple, none too much designs and not too long, just perfectly right. Plus she looks sexy. Her dress fits her perfectly. Behind her was Pippa, her sister, wearing a much simpler dress but looked just as stunning as her. I’ve gotta say the Middleton’s quite got a body. Kate stumbled a bit upon the entrance but just looked at her father and smiled. She’s really cute when she smiles. I like her when she smiles. And so then the long red carpet walked began from the doors of Abbey to her prince.

It was literally a long walk from the entrance to the altar. I’ve never seen an entourage that long. Prince William and Prince Harry got their backs on her facing the altar. One, prolly the most, of my favorite parts of the wed was Prince Harry having to turned and looked at Kate as she walks down the aisle and whispered to William with a huge smile on his face saying “Wait till you should see her” and William was just standing waiting until he could see her.

As Kate reached the altar with her father the first thing William, the second from my favorites, ever said was “You look beautiful… perfect” Prince William looks so cute when he smiles. It’s like he does it really shyly all the time. I’ve never seen him laugh or even smile like Prince Harry does. And then the ceremony began. They were blessed and some traditional stuffs and said there vows. There was a little trouble with the ring though. I thought it wouldn’t fit but after some squish there it go, perfectly fit. Another of my favorites was the part where they were seating beside each other and when the priest said something about “decision they had made” they looked at each other and smiled. And it made me smiled as well. Trust me, this whole William and Kate’s thing makes me smile big time.

After the ceremony they both walked down the aisle as husband and wife. They did the traditional “bowing down to the queen” thing as they went out. They were cute together but I found something way cuter. It was Prince Harry and Pippa walking down the aisle as well behind the just-weds with Pippa holding Harry’s arms and they were like talking and smiling and laughing. It was really cute. As the couple went out to the crowd’s sight everyone went loud again waving their flags, saying their cheers and stuffs. And then they both waved at the people as they were picked up by their horse-drawn carriage.

They paraded from the Abbey to the Buckingham palace where the reception hosted by the queen is. It was quite a long travel and what’s amazing is that there was never a time that the crowd’s cheers stopped from the Abbey all the way to the palace. And so was the couple’s waving and smiling. They look so in love like really in love with all those quick glances and then they’d smile at each other. It definitely brought out the ‘barbie’ in me. And then as they arrived at the palace with the rest of guests the crowd waited for the highlight of the day, the Balcony Kiss.

As soon as all had entered the palace the officers let the crowd come close to the gates. I was really impressed by the London people’s discipline. In a super huge crowd like that, there wasn’t any accident or whatever. There were no pushing and fighting. They were all much disciplined. I thought if that happens here, it’d be a total riot. And so the wait was over when the Royal family stepped out of the balcony and Kate was really cute when she went out and she was like “Oh wow!” prolly got overwhelmed with the crowd. Who wouldn’t? And there was waving and waving. Prince Harry and Pippa was standing beside each other all smiles to the crowd. Prince Harry was even laughing “finding it all very funny” as the newsman covering had said during the live coverage. And then William said to Kate- judging by the movement of his lips- “should we kiss?” and then Kate nodded and then the first kiss was made witnessed to the crowd. And the cheers went louder and they asked for another one. And the William asked Kate- judging by the movement of his lips again- “one more?” and then the second kiss was done. It was actually longer than the first one and then after William said to the crowd “That’s it… no more” And then they stayed for a while and went inside the palace again. After the reception Prince William and Kate got out of the Buckingham to Prince Charles’s palace with a vintage car for the night’s reception to be hosted by Prince Charles himself.

And then the whole wedding thing was all over the television. There was like 10 consecutive channels in my cable covering the wedding. It was a love-filled day for a lot of us. It’s like everything stopped to witness two people so in love vowing to be in love with each other for the rest of their life. Waitie-Katie truly waits no more. It was nice seeing things like that. Makes a lot of people believe in love for a moment. Well, I guess, Disney was right after all. Fairytales do exist.

Relationship 101:

Here to talk about love again like I’m a master of it. So here’s the deal…


IT’S HARD TO LET GO OF SOMEONE YOU’VE BEEN WITH IN A LONG TIME. Or should I just say it’s hard to let go PERIOD. It’s hurtful and it’s inevitable. Everyone knows that even Taylor Swift got it all figured out which resulted to a line in her song:

Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts


TRUE, very true! We often get ourselves into a relationship knowing so well that it could end anytime. And with that sad fact, we fool ourselves into saying “we’d never know unless we try”. And so we try… A LOT! And every time that it’s bye-bye time our whole world crashes like there’s no tomorrow waiting for us; like we don’t know it’s gonna happen. And what’s awful about it is that we often say “Why? I did everything…”


Honestly blogging, I was THAT. I get myself in a relationship and do everything; give anything she’d ask for, follow her rules, be what she wants me to be, keep up with her, and make her my world and stuffs knowing that by doing so… I could make her stay. And that thought was crap, nothing but crap. Only good thing is that I learned. See, we use to think that way… its nature and it has even been clichéd that “when you love someone, do everything you can to make them stay”. And we dwell too much in it, thinking that if we want a love forever we just gotta do everything for them to make ‘em stay. Which is an absolute bull****. I’ve been in love, I’ve done everything as I said but in the end I didn’t even came across forever land not even a sight of it from a far. I still ended up losing the ones I’ve loved for reasons I don’t even want to mention because I might drown in its shallowness. And when I happened to lose them I got hurt big time. And I was like “I did everything just for this?” Trust me, it was the shit-est realization I’ve ever came upon in my life. And I got so devastated because it was too hard to accept like everything you’ve done turns out to be nothing at all. And I thought it was unfair. Sometimes when we do things we can’t help but expect. In fact, expectations become our prime reason from doing everything. We expect because we know we are more than willing to do just as much and with this we forget about what the other wants. We just want them to do as they are expected. And that one thing I learned is that we’re absolutely missing the whole point in this. In LOVE, there’s no such thing as “I deserve this”. That when you do a thing for someone would make you earn a “deserving” ribbon. If you love someone you do everything JUST because you love him/her. You can’t do things and expect something in return like as if he/she asked for it.


So it’s definitely a no brainer, doing everything is not the key to forever. And who knows what it is. It’s not really that important. LOVE IS NOT AN OBLIGATION OR A RESPONSIBILITY; IT’S MORE OF A PRIVELEDGE. It isn’t about give and take. If you love someone “give” would be normal and “take” wouldn’t matter. If you’re giving so much and taking only little, smarten up! It’s a HINT you jits! The person doesn’t love you just as much so save yourself from a massive heartache and learn to live without ‘em. STOP GIVING THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT! It’ll kill you.


Love is simple… we just make it a whole lot more complicated than it is JUST supposed to be. WHAT’S WRONG WITH US? Rules have been laid bold and precise and we just break ‘em whenever we fall head-over-heels in love. What happened to “never expect anything?” Love with your heart is a good thing. You can even give it all out. But it would be way better if you put just a little brain in it.

William and Kate


It’s like the whole world got their media men in London to cover the ever grandiose Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. A lot are stoked and can’t get off their televisions just to see what’s happening down there while some don’t really care at all. Me? Royal Wedding is an “OK” thing. I’m not really that stoked or whatever excitement the newspapers are claiming to be enveloping everyone especially the ones that are actually camping somewhere near the palace, I guess-I’m not really sure, just to see what’s going on in there. Whatever it is that those people are thinking that make them do that, I don’t really know. Me, I’m just happy about these two people who finally found the one they want to spend their lives with. I mean, not everyone can, and so I guess it’s worth being happy for.


I was watching T.V, this afternoon and I happen to see the movie about the Royal couple. It kinda tells how they met and began to fell for each other. And their story was real cute. I was like smiling the whole time. They met in college and became classmates in an art class and that’s when their friendship started. Kate’s got a BF that time and so as William. So they remained friends until this one Fashion Night show. Kate was one of the models and walked the catwalk wearing a see-through dress and that’s what caught William’s attention. He even tried to kiss Kate later that night but she just pushed him away. And then they started to live together with some of their friends and that’s when they became BF and GF officially. So the relationship remained private until William’s 21st birthday celebration. He invited Kate and her friends to come but he got so busy that he wasn’t able to entertain Kate. Plus, there’s this girl who happens to be William’s long time friend who was with him all the time. Kate got a little jealous and upset so she walked out. They got into a fight but William made up with her and even sang to her in a restaurant at a Ski Club. That was the time their relationship was made public. They stayed together in their whole college year and things got a bit rough after they graduated because William had to do some things and Kate was left alone waiting for him. Everything’s fine at first until the paparazzi kinda ruin it and then William can’t find the time anymore for Kate and he wanted to enter this military stuff for another three years. Kate thought she couldn’t wait for another three years and William said he needs some space and so Kate broke up with him. William moved on and so as Kate. But William loves Kate so much so he went back to her and asked her to marry him. End of the story.













here are some scenes in the movie.


It was a really cute story they got. It is super light and real sweet, no too dramatic scenes and stuffs just pure sappiness, kinda like the love story I want for me. Plus Camilla Luddington and Nico Evers-Swindell who played as the Royal couple in the movie were so adorable. They got me smiling the whole time. I wonder what Kate’s feeling right now. From one moment she was just a college student living her life and now she’s going to be a princess. It’s cool how life turned out for her. Well, judging by what I saw on T.V. for a pretty and smart and a hot girl like her… she pretty much deserves what she’s having now.

A lot are saying the movie sucks because it wasn’t at all royal-like. I don’t know what’s up with them but it didn’t really matter when I was watching it. I was too focused on Nico Evers-Swindell’s cuteness and Camilla Luddington’s hotness.
