I got up at about 8.1O a.m this morning, mainly because the guests in my house were making a lot of noises, and also because my mom was too anxious that i was gonna be late to church to prepare. when i got there, i didnt see desiree and raymond, because apparently they were hiding behind a pillar for fear of passer-bys ogling at them. when i arrived, i was kinda shocked to see raymond's curly hair. well i thought he had straightened his hair before, but why was it so wavy? anyway, i began working magic to his hair, and the whole straightening process took about roughly 45 mins. imagine the thickness of his hair, minus the sideburn. the front part was the hardest cos the baby hairs were so short. when bishop arrived [i never knew he was so punctual!] i was still doing his hair and he was mortified when he heard the bishop's voice.
the whole process was exactly as rehearsed, except for the part where we need to kneel before "your grace" for the anointment. during rehearsal, i was practically laughing my arse off because bishop JUDE was so funny! but the actual thing didnt require us to kneel face-to-face so it kinda eased my urge to laugh.
now this is the best part : us singing "we are one in your name". everyone of the girls wore a dress, except for me. but i rocked that look even though i was wearing skinnies with my sister's red-laced adidas stan smith sneakers. the singing was as expected, i guess, because i did not ask for anyone's opinion.
after the concluding rite, we were taking pictures with everyone. its not often that you get to wear all white, and the last time we did was when we were nine. i had a dress back then.
cameras were flashing everywhere at the altar, and i too took some pictures on this special occasion. basically it was an experience too precious to be forgotten, especially the preparation for it.
ohh, and as i was writing this, i got a phone call. ohh and guess what? it was mr raymond himself! he was expressing his gratitude towards me by offering to treat me for a meal soon. hmm.. i wonder if that day will ever come.. but it was nice of him to call me personally just to say thank you. that took me by surprise.
later in the evening i had dinner with rainier and the gang, including joshua, the most unlikely person to join us. we ate at crocodile rock, the outermost part of the restaurant cos the whole place was deadly silent. no one made any noise, except for the clinking of the cutlery. i ordered *ehem* bangers and mash [in a bri'ish accent]. it got everyone laughing their heads off. after we filled up our stomachs we made our way to john's condom, just opposite to croc roc. that place's nice if only they have their lights on.. plus the pool looks creepy in conjunction with the dark surrounding. all of us ran to john's house right after rainier and desiree went up to check out the flickering lights. well, they caught up in the end so we ended up messing with john's facebook account instead. coincidentally, raymond was online at the same time so we made john sound gay. it was soo funny and in the end i got about 90+ notifications.. all thanks to the bunch of monkeys spamming my pictures.
