Scarlet Wednesday # 7: The Golden Age

Hi guys! We're a bit late for Scarlet Wednesday as real life keeps getting in the way for Karen and I to update this blog. We're both busy these days. She with her work, and me with my Masters. Anyway, it's good I have some free time today, and even though it's already Thursday, here's *drum roll please* Scarlet Wednesday # 7!

I don't know if this has been mentioned here before, but Karen and I used to work together in the same hospital (GVMGMH) for a few months last year. Last June 6-8, we got the chance to meet again for the hospital's 50th anniversary celebration. There were a lot of activities prepared by and participated in by the hospital administrators, staff and personnel, and I had so much fun as an audience, while Karen joined the dance competition.

During the last night of the celebration, there was a Gala Night, and everyone had to attend in formal attire. Unfortunately, as I actually had no plans of attending the Gala Night, I didn't prepare a gown to wear. But, the rest of the girls were really beautiful that night. It was so great to see them all dolled up, instead of the usual white nurse's uniform and cap.

Karen was stunning in her black, white and purple gown. 

Our friend Joyce reminded us of Kim Chiu in her Red ball gown. With her 5-inch heels, she stood at 5'9" that night. At 5'2", she made me look like a midget next to her. LOL

Also worthy of mention that night was Konrad who looked like a chic hipster with his rolled up trousers, and bow tie. He looked like a cut out from a magazine. I like your fashion sense, Konrad! 

Our Chief Nurse, Mrs. Mocon, and staff nurse Tita Melissa both looked fiery in red. 

It was an unforgettable celebration that happens only once. I'm glad to be able to attend it, and somehow be a part of the GVMGMH family. 

Til next Scarlet Wednesday everyone!


Love, Mariel
