More and more couples today want to have their dream wedding in Boracay. This is especially those foreigners who would like to marry a Filipina. If you are dreaming of a beach side wedding, all just surrounded by dining table and chairs and not just a church chair. Maybe a beautiful sunset or sundown beach side of garden wedding. It would just be a simple wedding gown and just a beach wear to be worn by the groom. There are lots of hotels now in Bora. They are offering venues for weddings if you want some cheap or affordable hotels for a luxury wedding package. It is no wonder that there are some reports and article about Boracay becoming a wedding destination also.

Yesterday was the very first day to attend the first sabbath service of the year. We planned to get to our assembly place early, just so we could start the year right. But I noticed lot of vacant church chairs. Maybe some of our members are not here yet as they are still on vacation. We were very thankful for the past year’s trials and blessings and believe that there will be more blessings in this coming year. Trials may come but we know or Almighty Father is always here with us.

We were blessed to have more than two weeks of vacation to spare visiting relatives in the province, reuniting with friends and family, and seeing some of the beautiful places in Negros and Panay islands. Still, it doesn’t seem enough but I knew that I had to go back to reality of facing the noisy and stressful life of the metro. These days, getting updated with real life is just a click away. Imagine you can just click here for garden frogs, get a view of the seashore from your room and spend a whole day in bed.

We hate any new increase of taxes but if this tax will benefit many people, then who are we to oppose? With the new sin tax bill, the government gets its share of the revenues from cigarettes and beverages. The bill has already been approved in the bicameral committee and only the signature of the president is needed so that it will come into law. Aside from that, it can add funds for public health services and subsidies to workers in the affected tobacco and alcohol industries. It will also lessen related diseases caused by smoking and drinking. I am sure those who buy rocky patel cigars and other beverages will be minimized and hopefully many will stop their vices.

Many are in the party mode especially this month of December. Companies are celebrating anniversaries and thanksgiving parties during this month. Loud music and happy events are all over the place. I wonder if there are sill companies or individuals hiring bands during these days? I remember a family member who was a member of a band before. He would even prepare extra loop pedal at Musician's Friend because they have scheduled gigs almost every night. But today, I am sure Gang Nam style will always be present in today’s parties.

With the month of December coming a few days from now, I am sure that parties will be all over the place pretty soon. Then once the company, family and school parties are all ongoing, I am sure dj equipment at musicians friend would be booked like hotcake. But before that, please try to remember that accidents are also bound to happen due to some people who could be driving under the influence of liquor. Some cardio vascular deaths are also increasing during this period of time. I hope I do not sound like a kill joy but it is true. Just be careful.
