naku, isa-isa na talaga kaming nag aasawa. these two were together as bf-gf for more than 10 years, mas matagal pa sila sa amin ni jason. hehe i never thought they will end up in marriage, away-bati kasi. but i guess if they were able to be with each other for more than 10 years with all those away bati moments, kakayanin din nila ang married life.

.

the wedding was fun and unconventional. from the invitation to the selection of music. they rock! hehehe if i remember it right, the groom and the ento marched to the sound of david cook's "the time of my life" and the bridal march was honeyz' "finally found". and we always caught them laughing and giggling all through out the ceremony hehehe..

.

it was also tiring. mainly because we don't have a yaya , still. and almost every family member has a role in the wedding kaya talagang salitan lang sa pag aalaga. eh sa kalikutan ni aquim at kakulitan, kailangan talagang bantayan at sundan. pagod.. pagod si daddy.

nuestra señora de guia

we attended another wedding (of a friend) last week. it was inchang and allan's wedding. and it was an emotional one. we didnt get to see her march the aisle. we were late, as usual. but everyone said that most of them were crying. oh well... it was held in malate church, which according to the priest, is a shrine for mama mary, nuestra senora de guia. reception is at nearby rosas garden hotel.

during the traditional church pictorial, tita cora (inchang's mom) was crying. at the reception, she didnt want to give her speech, afraid that she might lose herself (for the nth time). but upon the prodding of inchang, she managed to give a brief speech in between sobs.

in each guest's table, there was a chosen representative who'd give a simple wish/speech for the couple (that's new for me). and there were 2 who gave tearful speeches. and both were friends of inchang. you get where im driving at? to put this in simple words, as what allan's friend has said: " kung ako rin ang nanay ni cynthia, at ikaw ang mapapangasawa ng anak ko, iiyak din ako, allan!" it was meant to be ajoke, but we all know that its true.

i didnt tell this to cynthia, but i told our friends, hinde ako boto ke allan. i feel that cynthia deserves a better man. but if cynthia feels and thinks that allan is that man for her, then all i can do is support her and wish her the best. goodluck!

i didnt write this or say this to break them apart or to discourage them. and if allan gets to read this, who cares? care bears? if he gets to read this, i hope he proves me wrong. i do wish he proves us all wrong.

nuff said.

rommel and donna

as told on my earlier post, a lot has happenned, and this is one of those happy happenings...

pareng rommel (naks) has finally tied the knot. it was held in tagaytay highlands. great view. the theme is luau and the mood of the wedding is very relaxed, thank god. i didn't have to wear a gown and then strain my back while carrying aquim.

from the chapel, you can see the taal volcano, parang pwede mo nang languyin kasi malapit lang. tapos sobrang lamig. it was an afternoon wedding, so foggy na siya talaga and mahangin. muntik na ngang matangay si menggay. hehehe.

sorry na lang kasi wala akong masiyadong magandang shots. mahirap magpicture kung me kasama kang baby. of course, kaming 2 lang ni jason nun, and abay pa si daddy. so siyempre hinde naman ako makakapicture ng me alagang makulit at malikot na baby diba.

by the way, it is the second wedding na na-attend ni baby ko. the first wedding was june and kathy's back in september 2007, when aquim was just one and a half months old.

ps. i have a lot of catching up to do, so ill be posting a lot.. ill try pala .. hihihi

the picture pala is taken from the camera of jason's friend, myla. from left to right: sean asher, daddy sherwin, mommy anna, the newly weds - donna and rommel, baby aquim, daddy jason, mommy jolen, myla and abet

yepp... my only sister got married this month...

huwaaahhhh...

joke lang. its about time, matanda na din siya. hihihi .. mag 29 na siya this coming 29. mabilisan ang wedding na to. nagsabi sila nung march. namanhikan sila nung march 16. come may 16, tadah... kasal na! ang unang plano pa nga nila is april 27 magpakasal, kasi yun ang anniversary nila as bf-gf. hah. goodluck. as if naman me naprepare na sila before nun. pagkuha pa lang ng mga lisensiya at kung anu-anong certificate eh. at ang budget.

nalulungkot nga ako.. kasi hinde naman ako masiyadong nakatulong sa kasal nya.. financially, of course. kasi i have no money. eh medyo budgeted ang kasal nila eh. wala akong naitulong. moral support lang. or mga unsolicited advises lang. or kaya sinasamahan namin sila one time. yun lang. transport help lang. hehe. wala eh.. hinde ako nag gegenerate ng income kaya hinde ako makapag bigay. nahihiya naman ako ke jason na 'pwede bang kumuha ng pepay sa ipon?' hehe.
relaxed din ang wedding. na enjoy ko. hinde kasi ganon ka stiff. ang bisita nya, isang bus galing probinsiya. si rogel kasi is taga nueva ecija. so lumuwas sila dito para maka attend. dami nila, isang box galing japan.. ay mali pala.. isang bus, galing gapan! hehe jowk. diko alam kung taga gapan nga sila.

nakatawa kasi naiyak pa din nanay ko. actually sabi nya nahawa lang siya sa nanay ni rogel kasi nagbabaha nga ng luha galing sa nanay ni rogel. other than that. lahat naman masayang masaya.
so... i hope hinde sila magsisi sa ginawa nila.. hihih ..

kung ke jun and jaicel, finally. dito para ke amie and norman, finally, finally. these friends of mine have been together since .. eversince. elementary pa ata. me hidden desire na yan sila sa isa't isa. in denial lang. hehe.

sa sobrang tagal na nila, sobrang excited siguro both families, kaya ang haba tuloy ng entourage. 11 pairs of principal sponsors. 4 brides maid, 4 groomsmen, the customery secondary sponsors (i was the cord sponsor), best man and maid of honor, little bride and her escort, and several flower girls. sa dami ng entourage, parang me santa cruzan sa simbahan. hehe. pero makikita naman na they are both love by their families and friends, even if it was a weekday wedding, a lot of people attended the wedding.

maraming kuwento ang wedding na to, ill ask amie first kung pwede isulat dito. hehehe.

in the mean time, extra effort naman sila para magka baby. norman shoud be back to dubai by now. intayin ko na lang good news ni amie kung me little norman/amie na sila.

jaicel and jun

march 11, 2008
sacred heart parish, the oasis

finally, natuloy din ang church wedding. ilang beses na tong paurong urong. mahirap kasing ischedule. kasi maraming complications dun sa kanila sa kuwait. after the long wait, natuloy din. kasal na naman sila, civilly, dun sa kuwait. church ceremony na lang dito. and we helped them throughout their wedding, acting like their coordinator, kinda. hehehe. pero hinde na kami masiyado nakatulog nung super pregnant nako ke aquim. mas lalo na nung nanganak. hehehe. buti na lang andiyan din ang sister and mom ni jun who helped on the church requirements.

the ceremony was officiated by jun's uncle, so medyo personal. afternoon wedding din. and ang pogi ng anak ko! (i have to say that! hehe) pinag barong ko din ang aquim siyempre. para terno sila ni daddy. si mommy din siyempre nakagown, labas cleavage! hehe

jaicel came home a month before the wedding para tapusin yung ibang mga dapat tapusin. si jun dumating a week before. 3 days after the wedding, fly na sila pabalik ng kuwait. ganon. lumakad lang talaga ng aisle.
