It is so unfortunate that I was not able to post anything with updates of what was going on with me, my career with weddings for 2010. This was a good one for me at the very least to consider. I was elected as the President of FWDP (Fashion by the Wedding Designers of the Philippines). As the newly elected President, I had to make a re-shaping of the association. With the help of my colleagues, we managed to make an eventful year for FWDP.
I'ved had few exposures with bridal fairs and exhibits for this year. So many things have changed. Maybe because of hard times that people are clinging to their bucks. Most bridal fairs have become avenues for neophyte suppliers, not so neophyte, and veteran suppliers whose thrust in their craft has remained only as purely a profit matter. I wonder why in this third world country where I continue to thrive with my chosen career , bargains, freebies has become the most successful way of luring brides-to-be. I recall when we were just starting , people come to us because they believe and appreciate our craft. They are willing to pay the price of what we believed in ourselves. And they go for it. Now, its like an invasion of "CHINA" in the wedding industry. I could only hope and wish that how it was before would be how it would always be for brides and grooms, debutants and alikes.
Am I complaining? I'm most certain that it just a sentiment. I'm an optimistic person.
