Destination Wedding: Jake + JM

04.29.11
Transfiguration Chapel  |  Hotel Dominique

It was a nice day in Tagaytay… the weather was quite cool that early morning. The ceremony which will take place in Caleruega will start at 9am. JM started preparing as early as 4am… the sky was pitch black, but it did not take long till we saw the sunrise. I just heart the DIY stuff that they did for their wedding!  The invitations, table numbers, the cord and embellishments of the candles and matches… I could go on and on! The wedding was indeed a labor of love.  I felt the warmth of their family and friends who helped them make this day a truly special and wonderful day.  I felt so blessed that I was given a chance to witness and document their love and their union.  I must admit that I got a bit teary eyed in some parts of the ceremony (but don’t think I’m sappy okay? Hahaha!)… I guess the time that we spent bonding with them and experiencing their genuine kindness made them dear to us. So, here are the photos =D

 I also would like to thank the Cinemaworks Team (Video) and J Lucas Reyes' Team (Main Photo) for being nice... we enjoyed working with you guys =)

The Days of Holy Week

The alarm gently buzzed at 4:00 in the morning on Good Friday and knew it was time to get prepared for a long walk! Jerdz and I ate breakfast (an instant beef noodle soup and coffee, just enough to keep us going till we reach our destination)... took a shower and left at 6am for our yearly Visita Iglesia.  We did our normal route starting from Blumentritt and ends in Intramuros... we noticed that unlike the past years, there are more people doing "the walk" that we almost bump into each other. Quiapo church was jampacked with people as always!  It seems like the streets of Manila was quiet-er in the past years' Good Friday than this year, but it's ok. We finished faster this time... we did it in 3.5 hrs! After the long walk, we grabbed some snacks in the streets of Intramuros.

Sweet Summer

 "From small beginnings come great things" --Proverb

It's here!  It's summer! It is officially summer, beginning last week... and boy, i can really feel the hot weather! But it's okay, summer is still one of my favorite times of the year (the other one is Christmas of course). There is just something about it that makes me feel more alive. I was telling my husband yesterday how thrilled I am, and that I feel that I'm wierd because for me, summer (like Christmas) has a certain scent.  Is it just me? Oh well... and did I mention that I love summer? In this very short post alone I wrote the word summer eight times already (and I bet you're counting it right now) =)

I caught myself last weekend looking for tank tops in my closet trying to prepare for the summer activities ahead... there's the yearly procession and the visita iglesia with my favorite person, Jerdz.... and maybe some family get-together =D This month, we will be covering Jake and JM's  destination wedding too... and I'm sooo excited, if not overexcited!!! More updates coming soon! =) Pin It

My Mommy's Birthday

I cannot even remember the last time that our whole (complete) family went out for lunch and heard mass together... I am literally digging through my memory right now and I really cannot recall... which means, last Sunday was an event for me haha! It was mom's birthday and we (me, hubby, my brother & his wife) planned that we would give her a birthday treat. =)

It was nice... to spend a Sunday out with them. And I hope that we can do it again soon. I know for some, it may seem ordinary... but for me, that day was something special.

dessert from the birthday girl =D

There was the whole family (minus koochie)
