last two weeks ago my Mom celebrated her 60th birthday and as far as I could remember it was the most simplest and yet an opening to a whole new world of discounts for my Mom, she’s now eligible to apply for a Senior’s citizen’s card, hahaha

Malou joined our mini celebration at home with Dad’s cuisine but unluckily she wasn’t able to join us for a movie (Angel’s and Demon’s) treat and noodle merienda to my all time fave Chinese hot pot, MeyLin

just posting our pic for my sister who’s now in Kuwait … hope ya like it Ng mwuah!

yep, been a while wasn’t able to writing nor post pics on the site, hahaha … well here’s my first for the year

Malou and I went to Ayala Alabang for Theresa’s wedding … we’re both adventurous and a bit confident as we got a GPS to help us going there … but ended up with a lot of wrong-turns but in the end luck was on our side as we’re still able to find the chapel, hahaha … people in Ayala-Alabang we’re very helpful and ready to give you advise on how to get where you wanted to.

Theresa and Michael

Tipoy and Malou @ St.James – Ayala Alabang

Anyway, we’re able to make it just in time before the ceremony started and the chapel was huge and most of all it is air conditioned so twas ok even you’ll wear a coat-n-tie or be wrap like an “ibos” (rice cake wrapped in coconut leaves). (more…)

During our teenage years we often wondered what the future would hold for us.  We placed our bets on who would have the first boyfriend, who would first get married, who would first have children and etc.  We made sure these were all documented so we wrote it down on a piece of paper and the said paper was placed in the safekeeping of our beloved friend Jennifer.

Conditions were such and such that whoever got married first would have the privilege of actually having a shower party sponsored by the gang.  However, as contracts of years past between us gals would go, these were just waved off in laughter.  Besides, the paper in question that documents it all was nowhere to be found.

The reunion of Batch 97 (Bacolod Chapter) was held last night at Majj and later on moved to Mushu.  I say Bacolod Chapter because batchmates are located all over the globe and have separate reunions of their own especially this holiday season.

Jucyn celebrated her birthday last September 18.  Yeah, this post is long overdue.  In fact, Ailyn’s birthday has just come and gone but I still haven’t posted pictures from Juk’s birthday.

To Jucyn: the lonely girl whose silhouette stood out in one of our sunset shots at Pagudpod, this post is for you.  hahahaha!

Blow your candle and make a wish

We had dinner at Mom and Tina’s the weekend after Jucyn’s bday.

L-R: Marvin, Ivy, Ailyn, Jucyn, me, Rhiza, Steve

Trivia: the yellow tripod that Jucyn is holding is a placeholder for Analou and Vince.  Guys, you were with us in spirit.  Jucyn wishes to thank you for the imported flowers.   Though I believe she received flowers from someone else (someone special … hehehe … hmmmm), the flowers we sent were one of her day’s highlights. Naks! wink wink.

Ajo Ong is known as our (seesters) “mother” in the sense that we look on to her to break the “curse” of singlehood. Hahaha! I think Chin already broke it but I prefer to think of Chin as an exception (a special case since she met the love of her life outside of the country).  Anyway, it was last October 5 that Ajo celebrated her break-out of the bonds of singlehood. Congratulations Ajo!!!!

The event was almost like a dorm get-together.  It was a different experience.  One where you see a familiar face you couldn’t put a name to but you smile and wave like you do.   One where you see your old friend’s crush…. Hahaha!  Too bad I don’t have pictures of people other than ourselves (seesters plus brother Fred) and the newly weds.  It was really odd that we never thought of having our pictures taken with the other dorm friends of Ajo.  Too late for that now …

twas kewl to plan out the areas that I’ll be covering as it was my first time for this church … and a kewl experience to check out the halls which is big as well as the design of the ceiling which makes Ng.Stella’s wedding really awesome … btw, not really sure if its part of Taculing or Mansilingan (quite an irony as I’m a Bacolonio’s and dont know this stuff, bwahahaha)

St.Jude church in Taculing (I think?,hehe)

For some weird reason, I feel like typing my day away so blogging … here I come! Kidding aside, just wanted to share some more wedding pics with you (Tia Tame’s wedding … also known as Stella).

Note: Steve hasn’t processed the pics yet and so these are a bit raw.

There’s been a lot of clamour to have some wedding pics posted. Unfortunately Steve and I didn’t have the time yet to post it but here are some highlights of the wedding day:

1. Beautification started at 730am at L’Fisher hotel. Yep, bridesmaids were included too.

2. Pre-wedding pictorials took place at 11am.

3. Wedding at 2ish pm.

Highlights:

- Wedding took place at St. Jude Church.

- The entire entourage waited for the bride at the altar while she marched down the aisle.

- The bride entered the church in a gust of smoke. Yep, literally speaking, may smoke effect pa ang pagpasok ni Tia Tame.

4. Reception at Sanctuario soon after

- The sounds of the drums heralded us from afar.

- It was truly a beach theme from the entrance of the welcoming drummers (don’t know what to call them) to the facade of a boat with a beach chair.

- The entire place was of under the water theme too! Complete with the reflection and all. The cake is not to be left unnoticed, it was truly beachy (pardon the pun). It was really great!!!!

- The highlight of the entire thing was the first dance. Really never expected a choreographed dance from Tia Tame and Noel. But what surprised everyone was midway through their ballroom dance was the street dance moves they pulled on us. I was half-scared and half-cheering for Tia Tame as she did her street dance given the three-inch heels and the heavy gown she was wearing.

- The night ended with three bands playing for the guests. It was really fun to see the guests dancing and enjoying the night with the newly weds.

I’ve posted some of the pics. Enjoy! More pics to follow once Steve or I find time. (more…)
