Rose' Bridal Shower

June 28, 2008 was one of the busiest days of Osaka life. I started the day early and went to Dio's and Mar's mansion but I was still late in getting there. Dio and I headed out to Daiso. We separated around the intersection since I had to print stuff for the party at Sheira's. Then I went to meet Idel at Hep to buy bridal gift for Rose which turned out to be a black underwear set for her honeymoon. Then I went back to Dio's to help pack the stuff to bring to Kaibigan.
When I got there everything was almost ready and it made me feel relieved that many people came to help. When we got to Kaibigan around 4PM to set up the place, I was already feeling a little anxious. My mind was about to explode from the many things we have to finish before the shower started. But little by little things were happening and tasks were being completed.
It really helps if people cooperate and help each other. If I were alone at that moment I would have already hang myself. hehehehe
We started the event at exactly 6PM eventhough Rose and Kay haven't arrived yet. All of the OsakaPinoys were there except Alvin. There were also a few Japanese guests which included Maru-Okasan and Takahara-san. We shared a toast for the bride-to-be and then started attacking the food.
A little while later Rose arrived in all her splendor and beauty. I really thought she sparkled like a star that night. After dinner we started the program proper. Yuri was the host of the event.
We started with an invocation led by Shin Kaisoku band(which included me!). Then we started out with a Name the song game followed by Game KNB(All about Rose). We then played the video that Lu prepared for Rose. Embedded in the video was a message from Rose' husband to be. Then we presented a song "When God made you" which was one of Rose' favorite song.
Although the song rendition was needed more practice it was heartfully rendered. We then gave Rose the underwear set we bought her which she showed to everybody. As a conclusion to the party Mrs. Sagami spoke a few words for afterwhich Mr. Sagami sang a song and then also delivered a speech. Then everyone gathered around for picture taking. As a final event people sang their hearts out in karaoke and danced in merriment. I guess the karaoke fever was the true highlight of the activity because it showcased Lu and I belting out Alone song(which I always sing in dedication to --------san), Maru-Okasan's dancing talent (She danced with all the guys in the party including Takahara-san whom I never saw danced before. Takahara-san also sang song duet with Rose.
