Andy and Khae’s Wedding

Michelle, and I went to Clark to attend Andy and Khae’s wedding. We were planning to go there early but we ended up leaving late and then having to pick up my coat from James. We then proceeded to pick up Brianne who was riding along. As it was already time for breakfast, we grabbed a quick one before continuing.

We got to Clark around 10 so we proceeded to the salon for Michelle’s hair and makeup. It was almost 1 when Michelle was done. We then went to the hotel for the photo shoot with the bride. Meanwhile, Brianne and I had lunch.

After lunch, we went over to the church. As we were putting our coats on, I commented that the church better have air conditioning. And it did! And then the rain started, cooling things down even further. That was refreshing, literally.

After the wedding, we went to the reception. Everything went smoothly: from the entry, to the photo booth, program, to the buffet dinner, and then back to the program. Good planning and coordination. A local(?) reggae band called Chocolate Factory played during dinner. They’re pretty good, playing their reggae variations of oldies and new wave songs.

We left as soon as the program was done as it was still a long drive ahead. Still, it wasn’t so bad. NLEX was smooth sailing. After the usual slowdown through traffic at  EDSA near Cubao (I don’t like the circuitous way to C-5 from NLEX), it was smooth sailing again and in no time we were home.

Congratulations Andy and Khae!

 

WTF: Batangas Sign On Taal

It seems the provincial government of Batangas has approved putting up a huge sign a la Hollywood on Taal. Apparently they’re unhappy the scenic volcano being mistaken as part of Tagaytay (which is in the province of Cavite) since that’s where people usually go to view it. While at it they should tattoo “Batangas” on their foreheads so nobody will mistake them to be from anywhere else!

Haircut

My hair was getting rather long and people are starting to wonder if I’m going for a Justin Bieber look (NO!). Today, I finally had the opportunity to get a haircut. And I had it cut the way I like my hair (short). After I was done, Jeanne saw me, she started crying! But she got used to it after a while and afterwards we walked around the mall and visited the toy store.

Open Doors


Yesterday, Jeanne and I were on the bed playing with her Duplo blocks when she decided she wanted to go to out the room. I wasn’t looking when she slid off the bed and out. Then I remembered she had closed the door before going up the bed to play! To check, I carried her back inside the room, closed the door, and asked her to open it. And she did!
