I don’t know why I didn’t post this before but I still remember the conversation I had with Cecilio Abad (who will be altering my gown and creating gowns for my entourage). It’s really very funny, if you ask me ~ though, if I wasn’t used to how Filipinos have this natural ability to express themselves with such honesty (aka lack of shame?) , I would have been pissed. LOL.
jen: oh! let me show you my gown
jen: tell me what you think..

jen: i just woke up in the pictures
cecil: Jen nakita ko na siya..
cecil: Bakit ganun ka kataba..
jen: i gained 60 lbs from my pregnancy.
cecil: God…….ganun ba… ineng mag exercise ka…
jen: hahahaha, my husband says he hopes you don’t change ur mind on the price!!!
cecil: Para ngang dapat mag dagdag ka sa price na binigay ko sayo…kasi major alteration ito.
cecil: neng diko ma imagine na ganun ka tumaba..
cecil: Ano vang pinaka in ng asawa mo sa iyo?hehehe
jen: isn’t that crazy?! from the picture you see and then to the one with me in mygown? my gad. nightmare!

jen: HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!
cecil: so ok na tau….bababa un pag talagang bumalik ka sa dati mong anyo.
cecil: hehehehe….
Had it been another designer, I would have been all, “And you? Why are the designs you create almost the same from bride to bride? Having a hard time sketching?” Or how about this for lack of shame, “If you have so many clients and money, you’d think you can get a better internet connection so you can answer your emails efficiently.” LOL.
Gash, am I sourgraping? Absolutely not. Just being evil
.
Yap…. evil incarnate. HAHAHA! Joke joke joke jen!
Jen, it’s been a while since someone made me choke and spit soda out of my nose HAHAHAH!!! You are SO right about Filipinos and their straightforward nature! I have a pet peeve when my Godfather greets me like, “Hoy! YOU’VE GAINED WEIGHT!!!” It’s never, a “hello” or “how are you?” I guess that’s the way they are…bless them all.
