24th and 2009 memory lane

Wow, I can't believe that I've gained another year again! And I'm doing a trip to my 2009 memory lane today since I know by tomorrow I'll be sleeping/watching/drinking or doing whatever things that I can do on my rest day. To be honest 2009 is a very quick year but a very harsh year for me. I feel so poor this year in terms of money. Yeah I struggle. To those who know me very well, they know. And I think it shows, just look today where I am...at my house, in front of my laptop, watching dexter and blogging..instead of having a party somewhere with my friends coz its my birthday. It has been a tradition that I always celebrate my birthday with a party. But since Im short in money, I can't. But wonderful things happen. My friends treat me in return. Im so touched by the gesture. And I am always thankful that God has given me such wonderful friends. So let me start doing my review of the year...
* To be honest I mostly remember a thing/event since it is associated with tennis..just read and you'll understand


JANUARY
New Year start with a movie. Then went to Meilan's house. Only me, cpa and Fhel were present at that time and we play cards. Wow, cant believe that I have watched 4 MMFF films! Tennis time! As far as I remember in Hopman Cup, Italy won or am I wrong? Anyway I had a great time watching it since Marat and Dinara was playing also Simon and Flavia! Rhoda's wedding! Jan. 19 - Australian Open time! wow I cant believe I remember the date! I begin to like Verdasco since he beat Murray! Wedding of Mem and Monroe. I will always remember that day, Jan. 31, its AO finals for women, Dinara Vs Serena and I am the only person in the house at that time. After Serena won, I went to my room to blog and chat, then suddenly my dog went berserk! It turns out that our front neighbor house is on fire! damn! just remembering those things makes my blood boil! I really hate those jumper people!

FEBRUARY
Who can forget the AO men's final! Roger Vs. Nadal! 5 setter match in the end Nadal won and Roger cried like a baby! I cried too for some unknown reasons! hahaha! After that its a depression period for me that my sister treat me to Haagen Daz at MOA(yeah the ultimate cheer me up food for me!) And oh yeah Pier One inuman on 14th. Then movie date with sef on eastwood.

MARCH
This month started with sickness. I had an eye infection. And this is the month that I started wearing eyeglasses instead of contact lens. My first time to watch in Director's Club at MOA. Me and my brother watched Watchmen. And this is the last time that I ever bought a Lacoste shirt. Wow so that means that my last Lacoste shirt was bought March of 2009!!! Im super poor!!! And this is the beginning of the no or less alcohol since Tito rommy died.

APRIL
My last visit in Tarlac. We buried tito there. Summer outing ng team. Sa Antipolo lang. Anne said she's getting married! One more reason why I loved my May month!

MAY
So many good things happen this month. I bought an iTouch, Anne's bridal shower/wedding, May's birthday, Star Trek, Mother's Day,  start of French Open! May 30, anne's wedding, it was the time also that Nadal and Ana both lost at French Open! Nadal lost to Soderling and Ana lost to someone I can't remember! hahaha!

JUNE
Kuzzy won over Dinara at the FO finals. Roger finally won his 14th slam! yeah baby! Month that I bought my Enjoy card and until now Im enjoying it! Wimbledon draw!
 
JULY
Wimbledon time! This is the last time I ever put a bet in tennis! Ever! Since Venus lost to Serena, I lost 3K. Then Roger gave me a scare on his match with Andy Roddick! 5 setter match and too many tie breaks! i thought I will lost another 3K also but  Roger vs Andy was a very very good tennis match! But I was texting with a friend at that time since he's having a problem with his partner in life. yeah no naming names! This is the month also that Meilan treat us on MOA with a very expensive resto. Holdap! nyahaha! But we are so happy that time since we seldom see each other. Si fhel lang absent ng time na yun. I bought a Marie Digby's concert ticket and a new watch from Swatch which is Im loving until now!

AUGUST
Marie Digby's concert and Dominics reunion...that's all I can remember for this month! But I became a fan of Marie! She's a very very nice artist!

SEPTEMBER
Bought a new cellphone! Just a cheap cellphone for texting and calling! badminton time!

OCTOBER
The month that I stopped writing in my journal because of the mugging incident. I was dragged on a motorcycle! Too painful to remember. I still have scars in my knees as a reminder of this dreadful incident!

NOVEMBER
What happen on this month? I cant seem to remember anything! I can remember my last year november. I know its DOHA and venus won. But for this year..I have no idea!

DECEMBER
My time of the year! My favorite month! Bought a ticket for HK and tennis show. Lenka live in manila! I watched her free show on Megamall and MOA but she's not that approachable compare to Marie Digby. Gain a new friend from Facebook. Another eye infefction. TWW chrsitmas party at Metrowalk. TWW street xmas party which is BORING! AVATAR with sef. Meilan and Jen are back to Philippines but on a short period of time. My birthday. Had a great time last dec 26-27 with my friends. Like what I have said I have the greatest friends! Sef treat me! Cyma on eastwood.Dexter watching on my actual bday.

I think that's it. So goodbye 2009 and I hoping and wishing for a wonderful 2010!

TWW Xmas party 2009

Lenka live in Megamall

Free LENKA concert in Megamall. She played probably around 5 or 6 songs. Justifiable since its free! She's great! Hope next time SM can bring SOKO and IMOGEN HEAP...(asa) hahaha! I ENJOYED THE SHOW!

Well mostly my wishlist are composed of things that I need for my trip. Hope you can grant one of them!

Thanks!

Johnny Rockets (eastwood mall)

Went to Eastwood awhile ago with my sef. As usual, we cant decide where to eat. I told her that I want a ceasar salad or a pasta. She suggested to eat at Pizza Hut. But then I told her that Pizza Hut maybe out of our budget, since both of us doesn't have enough money. We are standing in front of Flying Pig at that time, then I just told her that we should now try Johnny Rockets since she promised that we'll try the food there.


So we were greeted by the staff and seated on a couch. They gave us the menu. And both of us laugh when we see the prices on the menu! Boy! it was expensive! Much way expensive than Stackers Burger. We both smiled since we avoid eating Pizza Hut because of the price, but then again, Johnny Rockets burger are more expensive!



So for the review I will rate it 4 out of 5 stars. The staff there are so accommodating and friendly. especially Lexie who served us. And for the bonus part, the staff are dancing! Food is good! Their burgers are all quarter pounder patties.Major drawback is the price. Like what I said before, its expensive. A burger can cost upto 500 pesos. A tuna sandwitch can cost around 300 pesos. But the good thing is that, it comes with unlimited refill of fries or salad. You've got to choose if you want salad or fries. Their fries is like the fries of Stackers Burger. Their regular drinks cost 100 pesos, but its also unlimited. So I think the price is ok if you'll maximize their unlimited options.

Will I recommend this to a friend. Yes! Its good to eat here especially on payday where sky is the limit!

Son of a gun!

There's always a first in everything and yesterday I've got my first taste of how is it to be robbed. I was walking on the way home when suddenly a man in a motorcycle grabbed my shoulder bag. God it was too painful! The force of being dragged!  Why didn't I thought of letting go of my bag? I don't know...I guess when that thing happen, you just react on your instinct and my instinct told me to stay with the bag no matter what. And the result ...a lot of bruises and a swollen finger, deep cuts, wounds and of course a teared pants. Asked if I can replay the moment, will I let go of my bag? I don't know... Anyway having 2  siblings that are nurses, they attended my wounds immediately. Oh, the sight of my own blood, I was so delirious! And since I cant move both my feet and hands yesterday, and there's so much blood they rushed me to the emergency room and they know how I dreaded going to the hospital. The nearest hospital is a public hospital, and they only allowed 1 person to accompany you inside, I don't know how they did it but both of them are with me inside and they supported me. I was more afraid of the smell and the sight of other patient inside than my own condition. Hospital is a sight of death for me that's why I never go there. They Xrayed my knees and skull to see if there was some damaged and thank God there was none! The doctor said I was so lucky since most of their patient that have the same experience like me ended up being casted since some bones where dislocated. Maybe that's the result of my habit drinking 2 glasses of milk everyday...stonger bones! hahaha! After the xray they attended my wounds, some are deep, some are shallow...now my dermatologist have another project waiting...hahaha! Now that Im awake I can now feel the total effect of yesterday incident, my body is aching and my knees are still bleeding. Im taking up pain reliever and antibiotics, I don't know what's the antibiotic is for.

Lastly I want to thank you all for your support. I've only told one person and it spread like a fire! I am so touched my the messages and the phone calls. even my barkada knew it! I asked how they did know and they just told that they just feel something bad and want to check if im ok. Talked about the invisible bond...yeah we are always connected no matter what. again thanks to all, I dont have to name you guys because there's a lot!  now I can sing papercut by jordin Sparks...Im okay, Im alright...it was only a papercut...hahaha! yeah I can still laugh and smile...never stop smiling! :-)

PS: Sef lets eat next tym! hahaha!

Coron Adventure

As usual, bumabagyo na naman ang aking beach adventure.(wala ng nago dun)
Sept 25 - flight was cancelled due to heavy rain. Been at the NAIA3 for more than 10 hours! Highway robbery again...
Sept 26 - Island hopping!
Sept 27 - Lucky we were able to arrive at Manila!

Sayonara Ai

I just want to post this...kahit na Im not a big fan of Ai. I came to like her because of Dani. Both of them are great double partners and she helped Dani a lot. Today, Ai Sugiyama said goodbye to tennis and the sad part she retired on her game while playing Nadia. Seeing the pictures of Ai made me sad especially seeing Dani. Tpos Gravity pa by Luna Sea pa yung tugtog sa itunes ko! Nakakaiyak! whaha!

Guess who's back...back again...

Justine's back tell a friend! Yey! My all time favorite tennis player is back! Justine Henin!!! I feel like receiving an early Christmas or Bday gift because of this news. You all know that tennis can make my day miserable or happy at the same time, and now Im super duper happy!!! I can still remember last year when I posted on this blog that Justine Henin has retired and how I looked for an alternative WTA player to cheer and give me reason to stay watching tennis(which is Ana Ivanovic btw.) After 16 months she's finally and officially will be back on professional tennis! I know its only September but I am looking forward now to Australian Open 2010. Today I am reading a lot of articles about Juju some are good, some are bad, but I don't care, I am happy. I told myself never to expect big on Juju when she will play, but I know deep inside I wanted her to win immediately. The only sad thing is my aunt is not around anymore to cheer on Juju. She's one of Juju's biggest fan also. I will miss our bonding moment when watching Roland Garros and cheering Allez for Juju. For now I 'll have to look inside my closet for the red adidas tshirt same as Juju always wear and see if it still fits me. Yeah that's my cheering tshirt for her.

SWOON - Music Fan Video

Due to mommy di(diana canong)'s demand. as in super duper demand! Napaka demanding! I'll post the video that the Digbyholics made. I am included on the video picture! :-) cool no?

Habitat for Humanity

Last Saturday, August 29, 2009 I volunteer to Habitat for Humanity to build houses somewhere in Pasig. The experience is truly an eye opener experience. It shows how lucky and fortunate we are right now. The project in Pasig started last February and expected to end after 18 months but due to some problems, the foreman said that they are behind the schedule. They are planning to build 13 buildings which will house 400 plus families. Each of the family will have a 20 sqm lot and will have to pay 150,000 pesos.


Me, my SEF(Ianne), Raymond, Ged and Dindo had a great time there! We shovel, pass bricks, etc. I was so excited to start the activity! My energy was so high that time, even though me and SEF did not have any sleep since we've came from our night shift work.  I am assisting Ianne from collecting sands and then we trade places, after shoveling some sands, my thumb got injured! Blood was flowing out of it. After several minutes I asked for a timed out since I my shoulder is getting weak. I remember this feeling back in HS when I was learning how to hit tennis balls and serve. It was so tiring! Then our next activity was passing of bricks! At first I thought it was an easy, but after several bricks, Im complaining for a time out! I am so ashamed since I feel I was so weak and the weakest link on the chain. hahaha! Some homeowners children are there also but they are not showing any sign of weakness and tiredness. Oh, Im such a whiner! But of course I just continue to work until the end!

After the activity, Dindo treat us in Heaven and Eggs at Eastwood!

All in all, the experience is so worth it! I My whole body is aching right now especially my back, but just thinking that I helped a lot of people that day, knowing that somehow I made some change in their lives, I can endure this pain. For sure this will not be my first and last volunteering event!

The Time Traveller's Wife

Rating:	★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Romance

Another favorite book of mine that turned into movie that played by Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana. I can say that the movie is passable and kinda worth watching for all the romantics junkie out there. As most of the book turned into movie franchise, there are lot of scenes that are deleted in the movie that sometimes you'll just left there wondering why. And the most sad part is they did not show my favorite part, the last part when I cried on the book, where Clair is old and still waiting for Henry to appear. Tearjearking moment when Clair a greyed haired old women see her younger looking husband.Oh so sad...Anyway, Im sure if you read the book you'll watch this movie too out of curiosity and will you pass seeing Eric Bana butt naked? Oh come on! lol!

District 9

Rating:	★★★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Science Fiction & Fantasy

From Peter Jackson comes another great movie called District 9 directed by Neill Blomkamp. It is also based by his short film called Alive in Joburg.

This film is about aliens having their mothership arrived on earth above Johannesburg, South Africa. After several years human decided to check out the ship and found out that a large number of aliens are living there in a terrible conditions. Thus come District 9, a place somewhere in South Africa that settled the alien population. And then this comes the part that Im too lazy to tell the story and just tell you to watch this movie because for me its a very good movie and worth the bucks that you're gonna spend in the cinema.

And if I remember my history I know that there's a District 6 in South Africa that used to separate blacks from white. I don't know if my memory is correct. Anyway just correct me if Im wrong.

Marie Digby's Concert

August 1, 2009 at NBC Tent The Fort 8PM

Great concert and super worth the price!

dahil 1 year na kami...

TWW IT service desk team building na KKB

Aug 1 and Aug 2

The start of August is a full blast for me. Team Building and Marie Digby's Concert and a reunion of some of my high school classmates/friends



Team Building
At first I thought that our team building will not push through, I was frustrated since I came prepared on the office with my clothes and stuff. But I have the coolest teammates and our team building is a success! Though I was not able to join the swim part, I had a great time eating the food that Raymond prepared for us and of course sleeping! hahaha! I always sleep on team building. Mon, Im always hands down to you for your dedication for our team, hope you'll not change!


Marie Digby's Concert
8PM at NBC Tent The Fort. It did not start exactly at 8PM a band performed first, sorry I don't know the band. Then after that Marie started to perform. Me and my tbff have a great seat! If only we bought our tickets earlier, maybe we're in the front row! Anyway, her concert was beyond my expectation! I honestly did not expect great from her since I saw her performed at Sis and Eat Bulaga. She performed songs from her previous album and her new one. Marie's voice was so smooth and soothing! What you hear from her album is what you get in her concert! I love her when she came down the stage just to be with us, her fans. I rarely see an artist came down to stage so when she did that it was a plus sign! After the concert I had a chance to have my cd signed by her. And the bonus part of it was when she hugged me! I was shocked because I was talking to her and she stand up and hugged me out of nowhere,I was not prepared for that moment! whoa! Super duper bonus! So very nice of her! Conversation part:
me: "Hello Marie, my name is Dianne and Im following you on your twitter!"
Marie: Oh, that was so nice of you! What's your account name?"
me: bent_33
Marie: Sounds familiar...I'll look for you certainly
Me: And Im a Digbyholics
Marie: (stand up and hugs me!)
me: (shocked...still shocked...)
marie: I love all the digbyholics, you guys are so great!
me: thank you and hope you'll come back soon here! Can I have a photo with you?
Marie: Of course!
(photo)
Me: can I have my friend over there to have a photo of you too?(yung manong guard nagmamaepal na!kinuha na nga yung poster ko eh, bawal na daw magpasign...)
Marie: Anything for a digbyholic!
(photo of me, my tbff and Marie)
After that the guard escorted us out. All I can say is the price of the concert ticket was way way beyond OK for me because of these experience! Marie Digby is one of the coolest and nicest artist that I've ever met and I will be one of her many many great fans. I can say also that her fans was a great people. So friendly! I got a chance to talked to many of them. So nice having a conversations and making new friends!



High School Classmates reunion
At SM San Lazaro 4pm Congo Grill. I was happy seeing my friends again! After 8 years ngayon ko lang nakita uli sila! It was WOW! Im so happy also that I did not forget any of their names! High School days was so great, so Im sure that I wont forget any of my friends name there. I was a little bit sad because I was not able to join their inuman and videoke sessions since I have to go home early and do things. I hope next time I can join them till the end of the session!

Flying Pig

on break..nagkayayaan sa eastwood....and there you are Flying Pig!
Price and food are pretty decent!

too much...

For those asking for my opinion about the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Price, just watch the movie! Sorry..Im just too exhausted..too many things happen and I thought Im ready..but not...so there! I have watched Harry Potter 6 in IMAX together with my closest friends and with my sister. I am a fan who knows the book inside out already,and a general cinemagoer who's along for the ride regardless of plot, so if you are wondering if 400 bucks is worth the price...hmmmm...what can I say...the 3D effects only lasted about 12 minutes and only on the beginning of the movie. At first I was thrilled since I thought it will be for the whole movie, then after 12 minutes the picture become blurred and there's the red sign to put off the 3D glasses! hahaha! After that it just like watching the movie at a regular cinema house.

For me, if you haven't read the HP book and haven't have a clue about the story, Im sure you'll enjoy the movie. Like what I did! Before, I watched a HP movie, I used to re-read the book, but now I haven't done that for a change and it was a great experience! It's just like a blind man walking, having no clue(though I still know what's gonna happen!)hahaha! and I enjoy the movie. I did not make a fuss on whether the scenes were edited and not in the book.  But on the other hand if you read the book Im sure you'll say that there are so many scenes that are not cited in the movie! I miss the house elves!!! hahaha! Now Im tired and lazy again to type....but let me just post a picture of us hanging at starbucks while waiting for the movie...

Seriously...I miss my friends...and in these rare moments I am really thankful na nagkikita kita pa din kami kahit papaano and things never change with us..meron pa din laging late..si sipa...katulong pa din namin! hahaha! in fairness because we are working and monday na mamaya...ang aga namin umuwi! 1am nasa haws na ako...di tulad ng dati..yung tipong may araw na tsaka pa lang kami uuwi! hahaha! anyway I am looking forward sa susunod naming pagkikita.....hopefully november and if God permits me to have another bday sa bday ko. hahaha!

naming game

I told you, Im not good in remembering names. Sabi ko na sa inyo bago ako umalis, I might not remember your names. Hindi ko naman nideny sa inyo ang weakness ko. At least Im honest enough about my flaw. Twice na this month na nakalimot ako ng names ng online, shet nakakaasar, wala pa namang 2 years and to think na wala pang 1 year nakalimot ko na! arggghhh nakakaasar talaga! kung maalala ko man uber late na! And mas lalo nakakahiya, twice na nakita ni sef ang embarrassment ko.hahaha! Now Ryan, do you believe me na? You've seen it yourself. So ayan naghanap ako ng picture ng online, so far tama naman yung names na nilagay ko no?(I hope so..) Again, to all my friends...IM REALLY SORRY IF I FORGOT YOUR NAMES now or in the future....maybe my brain is really a bird brain that's why I cant retain names of the people I've met...or its full of fuzzy yellow tennis balls......

What a wonderful weekend

Last weekend I was so sick that I stayed at bed all day while surfing the internet and watching some DVDs. Yeah no rest, I don't know my laptop has a very strong force towards me. At 9PM the action began! The French Open 2009 Finals. At womens side, I don't care who will win coz I like them both. So I just watch and enjoyed the match together with my family. I was so happy that Kuzzy won! 5 years or 6 years in the making to win another Grand Slam! I really like her presser interview also. She's such a nice person( for me, I think). Sunday, omg the judgement day for Roger, around 9PM I was so sleepy and dizzy that I just want to hit the bed. But heck, this is Roger's match that we are talking. So I plugged the TV and open a bag of Cheetos and begin watching the match. My dad is such a pain in the a$$ because he was a big Rafa fan and he's rooting for Soderling. Good thing that my mom is also watching to restore the balance and peace. hahaha! To make the story short, my Roger won in straight sets! 14 Grand Slam and finally winning the elusive Roland Garros. Many will said that it's not fair since Rafa is not in the finals. For me, a win is a win. So my heartfelt congratulations so Kuzzy and Roger for winning the 2009 French Open. This year nicest people win the slam!

Dedicated to Rafa

LONG LIVE THE KING!

French Open 2009

Roland Garros is just around the corner and Im super excited! The draw is out! Im now configuring my Itouch so that I can watch it there, when Im not in front of the TV. In short so that I can watch it in the office! (secret lang natin yun) hahaha! Will now start to pray for Ana and Roger, but Im not expecting. Dangerous draw....My tweet will be mostly about tennis probably for the next 2 weeks...Don't you just love these two? Rafana!

Merry month of May

The start of the month of May is so good for me. I feel so blissfully happy and contented. Many people asked me why am I so positive these days...I just told them..life is so damn good! Which is so true naman. But they keep on asking for specifics, do we really need a reason to be happy? Maybe yes, maybe no, but all I know is, feeling ko ako yung bata sa Lucky Me commercial. The girl who keeps saying Good Morning eventhough something bad happen. But if you still ask me why I am so damn happy let me give you some reasons why:

1. My friend is getting married at the end of the month
2. French Open (Roland Garros) #its a grand slam tourney for tennis#
3. My cousin and neice from Canada is here
4. Have a new gadget, itouch 32GB and Im so loving it!
5. Birthdays!(meilan and my sister's birthday)
6. Parties (mostly weekend parties)
7. Great movies(Star Trek, Angels and Demons, etc)
8. Kick ass work
9. Great friends
10. Connected to old friends
11. One of my barkada is delivering a baby this May
12. Finally contacted Jen and found out that she's already out of the country! (magawa nga din yun! going without saying goodbye! hahaha!)
13. Im back on my otaku side(Im starting to read different mangas na uli and beginning to watch all my piled anime)
14. Gogo buddy finally created a multiply account and ang sipag nyang magblog!
14. and many other little things...

I also finally let go of things that I have been holding on for a long/short period of time. I finally realize na I should stop expecting to a certain person, to all the words and promises that that person gave and broken...I had enough! Now I wont be affected and you'll never bring me down.

Hey gogo buddy, just keep on posting on your blog so that I may know what's happening to you out there! While me, minsan na lang ako magpost ng blog sa multiply. But I always tweet using twitter and it's linked naman sa home page ko.

Let me just share you one of my favorite quotes, it is from Cynthia Nelms:

"Nobody really cares if you're miserable, so you might as well be happy."

My Sunday

I woke up very early today, and since it's Sunday, my very first activity of the day is to go to church. Today is Easter Sunday, when I was a kid I always look forward to this occasion since there's always an activity like egg hunting. The mass ended at 8am and my neighboorhood mall is not yet open so I decided to go back home and watch my TV series.

Around 10am I went back to SM San Lazaro since a part of me wishes to have my hair cut.I was surprised to know that my stylist Ryan is now working in Singapore. I have no choice but to have a new stylist to cut my hair. I was scheduled at 2pm, gosh it's only 10am and I have to wait several hours. I really don't want to go back to our house so I stayed at Starbucks the whole time. It was a great experience! I was able to read a broadsheet from cover to cover which I rarely do these days, since I always feel the lack of time. I remember when I was in 5th grade to my early Trender days, when I don't leave our house without reading the broadsheet. Nowadays I just go online and browse the news quickly unlike when I go to PerezHilton and other celebrity blogs that I read very religiously. So many things has changed.

Then come the 2pm. I was praying that my new stylist will be as good as Ryan. He suggested to have my hair to be short which I strongly disapprove since ngayon lang uli humabahaba ang hair ko. So ayun, we decided to just cut 1 inch sorter and have it layered. And since nandun na rin ako I told him that I want a powerdose. It turned out ok naman. So the next time that I will have my hair cut dun na lang ako sa kanya so that I wont go to Greenbelt(Greenbelt is always my last resort pag wala na talagang choice.)

I was able to see Ryan, Ninay and Bembem at SM San Lazaro, I rarely see these folks na din. Bembem was playing in WOF, sayang di ko kasama sis ko, she really want to see Bembem. Anyway I have to leave soon since my family just arrived from Tarlac. I have to buy them merienda at that time.

Now I'm in front again of my laptop browsing the net and watching Duplicity. I become a slave of computers. I am always glued to it. Hay gogo buddy, I told you, you killed my social life! Please come back na!!!!

Twittering at Twitter

The reason why I rarely post a blog in this site is because, im using twitter. Im getting addicted into it. So come and follow me on Twitter and lets all tweet! hahaha!

Oh Roger...

I rarely seen Roger throw sticks on the match unlike my hubby Marat. oh well Roger...you loss to Nole??? How come? After all my cheering for you...just ask Poalabear how hard I cheer for you...tsk tsk...

Bryan and Melissa's wedding

march 21, 2009 at Our Lady of Sorrow in San Fernando Pampanga
Reception at The Lake Shore

I was impressed at the reception, in a very short time(as in very very short) my cousin was able to pull out a wedding like this. And a Z/Sablan party always rocks, it end with a blast. May fireworks pang nalalaman! hahaha!Seriously Bry, those fireworks, sana nagbar hopping na lang tau! hahaha! Only one thing lacks on the wedding reception...Open Bar! which I totally understand kasi halos lahat sa family natin may tama na sa liver. yes from now on im sticking to my LESS ALCOHOL thing and kung pwede NO TO ALCOHOL na din. hehe!
