Rain, Rain Don't go Away

Today was Raine's wedding day. I started the day by wrapping our gift with a slutty red foil. The scotch tape thinking that this was sacrilege won't just stick even if we covered the whole side of the box. So without any choice we were forced to ask our neighbors if they have a giftwrap. Yeah they do. It was a white one with Terrenos written all over it.
Beggars can't be choosers.
And anyway the tapes sticks just fine.
Later Nana, being the bridesmaid, was fetch by the groom for early preparations. Me and Yen will be coming along later night.
"Ching, wear a gown.", was Nana's reminder to me. Ewwww. I hate my gown. It clings.
Later afternoon. Yen came with Ivy, Ann, and Grace. I was like "That's semi-formal". Yes. No gowns for me. So I wore my slacks and a red tube. And oho we were late for the wedding. We came in right behind the bride. And to our dismay we found that our table was occupied by some old people. The only vacant tables were on the next room. Ivy said that we are like outcast. Which started me singing God help the Outcast from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame. We weren't able to see whats happening on the main room. Yen, Cha and Ate Rose passed the time taking pictures of themselves. Ivy was making fun of everybody around us [especially the groom that she said looks like Shriek. But she made it sound good by saying that Raine's ex boyfriend, Carlo, looks like a monster]. Anne was checking our phones. While me and Moi was just sitting there staring off at space.
After two hours of ceremony came the best part. Food. Cool people that we are we let the other people get in line before us, eventhough we were almost salivating. Later when hunger got the best of pride we went in line. And found out a horrible things.
We could only have one tempura. Aww.
And they ran out of icetea. And glasses it seems. And waiters too. Because they can't even give us a glass of water even if we were already choking to death.
I even harrassed one waiter for a glass of water. When he arrived bringing one, I declared my love for him and almost kissed him, which scared him off. And I don't even like drinking water. And I don't like men.
See that? That's desperation.
Weddings can be despairing.
