My Bestfriend's Wedding...

Yes, finally, my beautiful bestfriend tied the knot with her wonderful fiancee, Lito. Her romantic wedding happened this month at Cebu. With her dad, she walked down the aisle beaming with happiness. How lovely she was! And not to mention her really pretty bridal gown. Too bad I wasn't there but she sent me lots of pictures so it felt like I was there. I'm so happy and excited for her! She finally found her soulmate after years of heartache and broken promises. She sure deserves someone better. And now she found him. Fairy tales do come true. :-)
It's still fresh from my mind those college days. She and I and another close friend were always together although I can say that Dianne and I were closer. We met during my sophomore year. We were classmates in one of our major subjects and we had the same course of study- BS Accountancy - at University of Mindanao. She was a working student, I was not. Both of us were scholars and that's what impressed me about her the most. She maintained her standing as one of the top students in our batch and actually graduated as Cum Laude. She then became a CPA a year after taking and passing the board exam just once. She's a tough lady, I can tell you. hehehe... I'm so glad and proud to have a friend like her. Now, she has gone a long way, being one of the higher bosses in her company. For years that we have been apart, we still keep in touch. Truly miss her!

Move a nation - Alzheimer's Memory Walk

Why is this walk so important? You might ask why. If you haven't had any inkling of what Alzheimers is except for the fact that it's a disease, think again. You should know that it's not curable, gets worse over time and it's fatal. It destroys brain cells thus causing dementia wherein there is loss of memory and other thinking abilities that affects normal day to day lives of people who have gotten it. Yes, there is no cure but there are treatments for the symptoms and with the right support, we can do something to keep on working for a cure or better ways of treating the disease.
In the Alzheimer's Memory Walk , Team captains and volunteers are needed of all ages in the nation's largest walk to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research. It would only be a maximum of 2-3 miles of walk in the morning of the fall but the benefit is good and great. Join the walk and together, we move the nation.
