I had an unpleasant experience this noon when my mother-in-law called me and gave me a 45 minutes lecture over the phone.
It was not an experience that anyone wants to go through.
You feel trapped. You can’t tell her to shut up and neither can you hang up the phone.
You can if you want to have a tough life ahead.
As for the reasons why she was so super mad, I shall keep it brief as it was not so ideal to wash dirty linen in the public.
We haven’t been visiting her for a couple of while and she was furiously mad.
I have many thoughts running through my mind when she was lecturing.
You know about the fight or flight mode we go throuogh naturally when we are in “danger”.
I feel my life is endangered while listening to her.
It was worst than public speaking and I felt myself drowning.

It has been quite a while. My Wedding Blog has taken many steps, some tough and challenging, to have arrived to where it is today.
Wedding Blogging has been my life. It is my life.
It is not easy to go through life. Likewise for sustaining a wedding blog.
It is just as hard to sustain a marriage and making it stabilise.
When you are doing something good for people, there will be people who like it and people who hate it.
For those who love it, they send you thank you emails, letting you know their weddings were a success because of the help this blog has given.
For those who find it too commercialised, they may forget that sustaining a wedding blog needs support too, readers support as well as financial support.
Nothing comes free. Bus transport isn’t free. Postal service isn’t free. Likewise, surfing the net right now isn’t free because you have to pay for the computer, the internet access and the electricity.
A wedding blog isn’t free. A domain name is about US$10 per year, email support is about US$20 per month, the webhosting is about US$20 per month, the broadband subscription and other miscellaneous is about US$20 per month.
Not forgetting the tons of bridal magazines and wedding planning guidebooks I am reading to make me ready to answer most of the brides’ questions which I get about ten per day.
A wedding blog needs money to support it. Just like marriage, it can’t be sustained based on pure love.
Try having a wedding and building a marriage without money. And see what happens.

Our friends are getting married. Hurray for them and there is another new family in the process of being set up.
I remembered I was so excited when I was finding the hotel venue, contacting them and making appointments with them.
As I was going deeper into the wedding planning process, I noticed that part of the wedding planning is actually a dirty business out there. Some squeeze you hard while others squeeze you dry. The worst part was the liaision staff left and every freebie that had been agreed upon are now void.
They put up their best show to persuade you sign the contract and threaten to launch a report if you fail to pay the installments on time.
Money still talks. If you have money, you can talk louder. If you have no money, don’t even think of having a wedding.
So, What are some of the wedding pitfalls you should learn to avoid?
1. Magazines seldom tell you the dirt of wedding planning

Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez were two of the most popular celebrities that people were talking about when it comes to hair styles.
