Wedding Bliss: Catholic Wedding @ San Juan dela Cruz Parish

June is known to be the wedding month and I think there's a little truth to that because I personally have been to two weddings in this month alone- and it's only June 10 as I type this. I heard it's because June was coined after the Goddess of Love, Juno.

So, in lieu of this wedding season, I thought of doing a Wedding Series called Wedding Bliss where I talk about our suppliers when we got married April last year and some other wedding pointers.

I will first start with our Wedding Church, which is San Juan dela Cruz Parish in Valenzuela City. This church is a default choice because this is where me and my husband met (both of us are in music ministry) so if not for this church, I wouldn't have met my husband. Also, serving in this church for almost a decade made it not just a place of worship, but a second home to us, too. All our friends are also parishioners from SJDC, including our Parish Priest, Father Mulong, who is also the presiding priest during our wedding. With all that being said, I couldn't see myself getting married in any church other than SJDCP.

Aside from SJDCP being our second home, I also love how this church organize and handle wedding ceremonies. There are Mother Butlers who are kind enough to assist the couple on what to do. They also have a choir every wedding so the couple don't have to worry about bringing their own group of singers. It also have this beautiful door so Brides have the chance to have a grand entrance.

During out wedding, what I like most of all, is how Father Mulong gave his sermon. Laid-back at the start with a little humorous Q and A portion with the couple, while getting a little more serious and emotional at the middle, and then ending the sermon with something people can ponder upon. Some of our guests commend how beautiful his sermon was during our wedding. One of my friends even told me that we had such a beautiful wedding ceremony.

I am so happy I got married in my dream church- the place where I found the love of my life, where I grew up to become a mature Christian, and where I met my lovely friends who witnessed our love story.

My PIERCINGS- Accidents, Stories, Reasons.. etc.

Elow elow elow Dear Reader! So, today, I bought new set of earrings and I realized, I haven't really talked about my piercing experience. So, I thought maybe I should answer some common questions about my piercings and piercing in general. How many piercings do you have? As of the moment, I have a total of six individual piercings. Three on the left ear, three on the right. When did you get them and why? 1. The first pair was done when I was four or five years old. I remember my father bringing me to a little health center and telling me to just tilt my head and that was it. I don't have much to say about this piercing because it was like a "default" kind of thing - sort of a tradition or one of those mandatory things a girl has to go through- so nothing special in this pair. Also, I was too young to remember how it felt like. Too young to even comprehend. But I remember being happy having the privilege to wear such pretty gold earrings. I had the rest ...

My Pabebe Waves

My Pabebe Waves -- and I am not even talking about #aldub. (Sorry for the pun, I am just a fan! Oh- it rhymes! Silly me.) Anyways, I am referring to my curls and how I respond to their "pabebe" nature. You see, ever since I decided to just let my curly hair shine through, I've been getting a lot of questions as to whether I had a perm . They're a bit shocked when I answer them with a resounding "NO" and revealing them of the truth I have once concealed...that is, I am born with curly hair. I admit I hated my curls before. I was one of those traditional Filipina who has the feels for long black straight hair (blame it on shampoo commercials.) So, for more than ten years, I did my best to conceal my curls by diligently going to the salon to have my hair rebonded. I have become successful in hiding my own curls. You see, I did deceive the people around me, even my boyfriend. This is a selfie I took a day before I chop my hair off. At this poi...

AT LEAST I CAN STILL SEE: Living Life through Amblyopia

All my life, people thought I am just banlag (squint) or someone who has a scar on her right eye. What some people do not know exactly is that I am almost blind. After thousands of eye tests to different ophthalmologists and optometrists, mine is a rare condition called Amblyopia (also known as lazy eye) coupled with color-blindness. Let us first start with my right eye. If you will look closely into my cornea, it has this white scar that originated by birth. If I will only use my right eye and let my left eye be closed, I will see everything in blur. Because of an inborn scar, there is a small white cast blocking my right eye, I cannot see the details of an image. I only see a vision, a blur, a shape. For example, if there is a calendar in front of me, looking only through my right eye, I would only see a white rectangle with dots and some lines. Imagine watching TV with white sheer cloth in front of your eyes-- that's the perspective of my right eye. God must have pi...

PIECES OF MY MONTH : JANUARY

Goodness. Is it February already? 2016? WOW! Time. flies. so. freaking. fast. The last time I checked, I was just dreaming of 2016. I remember wanting 2015 to end so bad and it feels like 2016 was sooooo far away. Now that 2016 is here right in front of me, I want to make few changes in this blog. Frequent blog posts. Better content. Improved layout. My own Domain. Last year, I never get to sustain this "Pieces of my Month" series. I know. I know. Too much pressure, man. Too much pressure. So, I thought of reviving it again, and the timing is just perfect because January has just ended. Anyhoo, there will be less photos today because I happen to erase ALL of my photos in the camera. Shit happens. Yes they do. So, I thought of just listing random things I did on the month of January. My Month Currently. 1. FAVE MOVIE: THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL - This has the most beautiful cinematography I've seen in a movie. It has this "instagramish" feel to i...

This is another travelogue I found on my drafts. Just want to publish it 'coz "sayang naman" Again, more on photologs so bare with us.

My Birthday Shenanigans : ABS-CBN Tour and ASAP Live

August is my birthday month so instead of doing my usual "Pieces of My Month" series, I decided to make it more special by doing series of posts called "My Birthday Shenanigans." I know that this has been an overdue post as we are already running through "BER" months, but as I have said before, it is better to post late than never. Anyways, one of the major things I did during my birthday was to take a tour around ABS-CBN studio. ABS-CBN is the largest broadcasting network in the Philippines as far as I know. So, if you are living in the Philippines, there is no way you do not know what ABS-CBN is. It has produced tons of television shows, entertainers, artists, broadcasters, movies, etc. My brother and my sister-in-law (who was also celebrating her birthday that day) were kind enough to invite me to join them in seeing the "behind the scenes" of TV production.
