Yesterday was the first wedding amongst us Carlos clan cousins. It properly set the bar for the rest of us, as Kuya Chris always does. Congratulations to him and to Ate Trixie, and I wish them all the best in their married life :) (all the talk about giving their parents grandchildren freaked me out, though)
I hope we get a video of our performance for their wedding, it was by far the most non-disastrous one my sister and I have done yet.
back to Hong Kong tomorrow and off to Heathrow the day after, ciao everyone!

I spent my long weekend pretty enjoyably. I was at Tagaytay Highlands last Saturday for the wedding of the hottest bride I’ve ever seen (and an equally dashing groom!). It marked the first wedding of a batchmate I’ve been to. I admire how mature they already are, and it’s a bit funny how much I realize I have such a long way to go (!).
I was the only girl in a car of four Xaverian boys (so I was therefore the only non-Fil-Chi there as well), but had loads of fun rapping (yes, rapping) our hearts out to Kanye West all the way up and down the mountain.
I loved the fog, mist, and cold mountain air, and at one point felt like I was going back in time and into an old Aga Mulach Filipino film walking atop the elevated walkway from the main clubhouse of Tagaytay Highlands to some tower overlooking the Taal Lake and volcano.
Here’s a shot of the walkway and of my carpoolmates for the day (Starring Robert as the driver in Barong):

After the wedding reception at the Highlands Steak House (which had amazing food), we headed to the paper factory of Darren (FEDCO Paper Corporation) at Canlubang for a short tour. I was glad to know that their secondhand German machines from Taiwan made paper and tissue 100% from recycled paper - no tree killing whatsoever involved in the process.

the car got a flat at the factory, so we had to change the wheel in the rain (see how helpful I was being)

Lunch at Amoroma in Tagaytay before the wedding. Eat the Pizza Bianca. Skip the Salmon Ravioli.
And here’s a picture during the wedding, the part where the priest said “you may now kiss the bride…”

Congratulations to you both, I wish you all the happiness and healthy cute babies, and everything else that you surely deserve! Thank you for inviting me to witness this very special occassion in your life. :)

"you, the great confidant. the robin to every batman, the satellite to every planet. you're a bright star shining behind the shadow of another. a great spectacle of magnificence dying to be discovered. a great enigma it is that no one cares to notice. that none dared to see through and beyond the lines and your flaws. a brilliant dancer waltzing away alone with little people who dared to watch.
