Typhoon Ondoy in philippines

Typhoon Ondoy hit really hard metro manila in philippines. Most afected areas are cainta, pasig, marikina , mostly rizal province but some part of manila and Quezon city are flooded too. I'm trying to call my family for 2 days now but i can't get hold of them, maybe the phone line is dead because of high water the same as they cut off th electricity. My aunt in California have a chance to talk to my mother before flood water get high. The last time she talk to them the water just hit their living room. They live in a 2 story house which is higher than other houses in their subdivision. My mother even let neighbors stayed in their house because they live in a ranch/bungalow house and the water already reach their windows. It's good my mother have a second floor for them to stay and put their furniture from the lower level where the flood already reach. Anyway i just hope and pray everyone in my family and friends (i have friends in rizal province too) are all safe and in good health. Be safe everyone and have a blessed Sunday!
*here are some pictures of my family house in cainta during ondoy*

1st class wedding invitations

Wedding season is here! Many love to get married in spring and summer days. It's really great to be witness a wedding and when two people to share they lives together. I been to a wedding before that the priest forgot the name of the couple, he's keep on saying different names. Everyone just look at each other and smile. Finally his help in the altar told him about the couple names and he said it right before the mass ended and even gave a joke about his memory everyone just laugh about it. When i got married i made my own wedding invitation. But now it's easy to have a 1st Class Wedding Invitations.

1st class wedding invitations has zoom feature! This will allow people to see the quality of invitations in great detail. Take your mouse and hover over any invitation to see it in clear detail. This is something no other wedding invitation site has. You can search the invitation by color, theme and type of paper. They have information and answer to your questions in your invitation.You can even see what's sample and favorites. And customer service that always there to help you. So it is very easy to find the invitation of your dream!

Personally i love pink and brown color combination. A simple and classic look for a wedding invitation.

So don't look further more and order your invites now, and save time and energy because i know you have more things to plan to have the wedding of your dream that most of us plan since we are teens!!
