Surprise Bridal Shower for Katie

Katie is one of my college barkada in UP.  As part of the "Econ Girls" clique, we see to it that every year after graduation, we have catch-up sessions, we celebrate milestones and we travel together. Our friendship is inspired by Carrie's long term friendship with other ladies in the tv series Sex and the City.

Aside from being a friend, Katie is the one who inspired me to travel often and to be a travel blogger. As a hard core lady mountaineer and a beach lover, she always travels every weekend, exploring the beauty of new places: new mountains to hike and new beaches to explore. You may get to know more about Katie on her website: https://iwanderiwonder.com/. Lucky me, I get the chance to join her in some of her wonderful adventures.

Katie is the emergent leader of Econ girls=). She is also the organizer of our group travels, with a well thought itinerary and best laid out plans. The only thing you need to do is to bring yourself and your luggage, that's how efficient she is.  My travels in Boracay, Coron, Cebu, Calaguas, Bantayan Island, Batangas, Mindoro, Catanduanes, Marinduque, Masungi and even in Wensha Spa, I get to explore it having Katie as the lead of the pack.  My first travel abroad in Kota Kinabalu was also through her. I begin to appreciate more of God's wonderful creations by travelling...this is through Katie's influence on me.

In her last days of singlehood, all of Katie's friends planned out a surprise bridal shower for her at NAILAHOLICS, Uptown Mall. In her favorite pink motif, we designed the spa area with lots of pink balloons. We successfully surprised her with great games, good food and lots of heartful messages from her lady friends. Katie is now Mrs. Bustria but her wandering foot will always keep her adventurous and on high.
