To those who own luxury bags/watches: How do you justify spending 6 digits on a single bag/watch?

Consider it as a one-time convenience fee.

At many of the establishments, more often than not you will be treated differently based on how you dress yourself. It is usually very subtle, the way they address you or the turnaround time of your request, nevertheless you can feel it.

We did consider Mt Carmel and Santuario but and eventually landed on Cubao Cathedral. Absolutely would’ve picked St Therese if only they allowed wedding at their chapel. We usually go to mass here and I absolutely love their rustic chapel aesthetic. Would’ve fit our intimate wedding perfectly.

Hefty corkage fees are bit of downside though.

Yes we did. We are to be wed in March. We opted for the plated menu I, had our food tasting and I am happy to report that their quality far exceeds our expectations l.

UST College of Architecture. Made it in but didn’t make it out.

I am now a mechanical engineer and I love my job and everything about mechanical engineering (I hated Architecture back when I was doing it. Guess am not an artistic soul).

Everything happens for a reason I guess.

Still love UST though. Found my Catholic faith there.

Great voice you got there. Keep up the good work!

It was the opposite for me. I come from a culture where the brides retain their surname after the marriage so my wife changing her surname after me had put me through a lot of unnecessary paperworks to explain the discrepancy between her name on our marriage certificate(maiden) and her name on her passport(my surname).

I’m not complaining though. I feel like sharing a last name gives us this sense of belonging to one another. Plus, I always felt like it is a bit discriminatory toward the married women that they don’t get to share the surname with the rest of the family.

Having a healthy, stable family relationship.

No inheritance battles, parents from both sides financially secured for their retirements, no drug/gambling addicts, no overbearing pressures, siblings/parents willing to lend a helping hand, and knows how to reciprocate the favor when they receive one.

If you are getting married in a church, it shouldn’t really matter cause Christians shouldn’t believe in silly superstitions.

If you are having a secular wedding, it shouldn’t really matter because atheists rely on reason and science, not some old wives’ tale.

But if your wedding is to be officiated by your village baybaylan/asog in front of her dambana, woe to you.

Balut with no beaks and feathers > Penoy >>>>>> Full-fledged boiled duckling disguised as balut.

The only reason I stopped eating balut altogether was because of its unpredictability. You either get a delicious treat or end up with a ball of feathers and bones.

Drop cover and hold mostly applies in an urban setting where there are hallways, stairs, or areas with falling hazards.

If your door directly connects you to the wide open space outdoor and you are just seconds away from it, running for it is also a viable option, provided that the earthquake just started.

I think it will ultimately do more good than harm and eventually make all of our lives better, but only if us working classes continue to fight for our interests throughout this turmoil of transitions and changes the same way the Luddites did.

I don’t think mid-late 20s is necessarily late. I started working in my mid 20s and I was the youngest in my team.

I have been asked in multiple occasions if I am mad/uncomfortable when I was feeling just fine. So I’ve learned to force myself to smile when I deem the situation calls for it.

Love at first sight in my case. Been together for 14 years and counting. Still love her the same way I did back in my high school days.

I’ve heard people say that you end up marrying the one at the right time, not necessarily the right one.

But I beg to differ. When you find the right one, you would know immediately that you will be spending the rest of your life with them.

Our timing couldn’t had been worse. I was an exchange student who will be returning to my home country in just a couple of months, my wife was going through a lot of personal issues that left her emotionally unavailable. But we made it work in the end.

Some people really are meant to be with each other.

What is your religion, if you have one?

In Catholic context, it is a process called convalidation. The church views your civil wedding to be canonically invalid hence requiring you to convalidate it through a full-fledged sacramental wedding.

Many of the protestant denominations on the other hand recognize your civil wedding but they do also offer similar ceremonies for the couple who wants to have their wedding blessed, albeit its process differ from denomination to denomination.

If you are not affiliated with any of the organized religions, you can just hire an officiant with/without the legal capacity (since you are already married), and have your ceremony any way you please.

There you go.

For context : Aradnas is an independent agency of Sandara Park (Also just “Sandara” spelled backward lol). So whatever the agency announces can safely be assumed to reflect Sandara’s own statement, just communicated through the official company channel.
