I Do

Another first.

Before 2010 ended, I already have a five weddings to go to. I have never attended the Church wedding itself, normally we just go to the reception given our busy schedules. But this year, I will make it a point to attend the Church weddings.


We arrived 20 minutes late because we had only 2 hours to have everything done - from buying a card for the gift, hair & make-up and change. By the time we got to the Church, we saw the bride, standing at the door of the Chapel, waiting for the signal to enter the Church. I was quite fixated. Here is my former teammate, standing at the door of the Church looking divine in her white dress about to begin a new chapter in her life. We all wanted to shout out to her and cheer her on but we knew she was in her moment, concentrating on the MOMENT.



So we snuck in the back, hurriedly occupying the nearest vacant pew and looked back at the door. The Church was eeriely silent as we were waiting for the bride to come in. Not even the kids in the Church were making a fuss.


The Church door opened and it was filled with a bright light. We were almost blinded by the radiance. And slowly, one step at a time, the bride slowly walked down the aisle, the Church was filled with music and tears started to form in my eyes. It took every ounce of control to keep them from falling so I just concentrated on taking pictures.



But tears started to well up again when the bride and groom were saying their vows. Sigh. I need to control myself.


By the time the wedding rites were over we all went outside to welcome the newlyweds.



Sigh, the feeling you get when you attend a Church wedding is incomparable.

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

Ironic Cafe Monaco

Tucked in one of the building along Banawe is a quaint restaurant called Cafe Monaco. From the outside, the interiors looked cozy and perfect for hanging out with friends but I was quite surprised when I stepped inside to find out that most tables were occupied by families. And people actually are willing to wait for their turn to be seated! Kudos for that. My basis for choosing a restaurant is based on the line/wait. If the line is long or the waiting list is long, then it must be worth trying. We ate dinner at this restaurant yesterday evening and I actually loved it! It's a bit weird though that the name of the restaurant is Cafe Monaco but they serve a lot of Korean dishes. My aunt said that the owner of the place married a Korean hence the menu with Korean dishes. We tried bibimbap and at first bite, it was okay but the more you chew the better it gets. Healthy too, with little meat in the dish. Prices are friendly on the pocket too so I will definitely go back to try out thei...
