Rommel and Rochelle

Today my boss, Rommel, will be married to Rochelle. A week after their wedding, they will migrate to UK where Rochelle is a currently a registered nurse.

The reception was at Santuario de San Jose in Ortigas. Since I'm a GI (Geographical Idiot), I didn't dare venture out on my own but wanted to go with Chris instead. We decided to go together to the reception. Lo and behold, her driver was late - she was scheduled to pick me up at 6pm but they picked me up at 8pm, half an hour before we left, rain started pouring, it was raining quite hard that I contemplated on not going to the reception. It seemed as if the God's didn't want me to attend this wedding.



But finally after a quick 45 minute drive, we arrived at Glass Garden. The guests were eating and the program was in full swing. In fact, everyone was already seated. Entrance to the reception was through a grand staircase so everyone could see that we're fashionably late! Eeek!

Nevertheless, we did catch the wedding pictures and video so that was a relief.

Great things about the reception:
1. Food was served buffet style- so even if we were late, there was still food available.

2. Invest in a good videographer - everything was beautifully captured. I felt like I was there in the reception.
3. Ambiance is everything - the romantic atmosphere of Glass Garden made me teary-eyed
4. Everything started on time - smooth transition of the events- no dull moment
5. keep it simple - fuss free design and program

Since they requested that the gifts should be something they can bring to UK, I thought about giving them an external hard drive since I wanted to buy one for myself. The EHD would store all their new memories as man and wife and as a Brit. Then Jamie thought about covering the EHD with something quirky. So this morning they went to Greenhills and made a picture of Rommel and Rochelle in traditional British garb over the hard drive. I really loved the way it turned out. I hope they'll be happy with our gift.

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Mo Twister, Narnia and Bitch Smile

December 3, 2010 Today we got a surprise visit from Mo Twister and Rhian Ramos. Noj had business meeting with him and he toured them around the office. We managed to get a quick picture with him before they left. Kevin with Rhian Ramos. He's quite red from all the attention he's getting. Group picture with Mo. My height: 5' 3 1/2". Outfit post: black cardigan from f21 rompers from landmark chain belt from Mango tights from Samsung Fashion shoes from Rubi We also got free tickets for Narnia tonight. It was okay. The best part about the movie is that I got to see snow again(The movie was in 3D). We arrived quite late and I missed the first 10 minutes but my brother told me nothing much happened. I did miss a few great 3D effects. Ended the night with dinner at Recipes with Noj, April, Finj, Em, Rommel and Donna. Where Donna once again practiced her "bitch smile" aka Heart Evangelista smile. Hipstamatic pictures using Em's Iphone. Drool! I want one but it co...
