03/20/2003 Entry: "Almost Done"

Wow, two weeks to go before my stage is over. Can't wait to go home and finally start planning the wedding! As of today, Garry and I have made 0 progress on our wedding plans. No date, no venue -- hope I can get on top of things when I get back to Manila.

I haven't been really feeling the war over here in France, but probably because I have no cable TV and no CNN to scare the hell out of me. I was reading some reactions to Bush's ultimatum from other international leaders, and I was really curious to see what my country had to say about it -- all the other countries clearly stated if they were for or against the war, while my president said: "While the nations of the world sort out the Iraq conflict, our job here is to take care of our own stability and normalcy, and we're prepared to do so." Yeah, you guys sort it out. TYPICAL.

There's a new stagiare at work, Saori, a Japanese girl who speaks english! Yey! The past two days have been great -- I was really chatty at work, and Eddy and Michel were feeling left out of the conversation. Eddy would try to speak english too, but he only knew phrases from TV shows, and he kept singing 'Smelly Cat' from Friends the whole afternoon. It was hilarious.

Don't really know yet. Maybe 2 celebrations, because we have friends in both places.

Not much effect about the war here in Manila either. Just see it on the news that those with family in the Middle East are worried sick about their loved ones' safety. There's a 24 hour war coverage on cable TV and the local news have been talking about it it in their hourly news breaks.

So, are you guys going to have 2 weddings? 1 in Manila, 1 in the US?
