Sweet November in Manila (Part 3)

Day 3 - Saturday, my last day in Manila. Monette permed my hair. Then I had it cut short to remove the split ends. The results: it's too short! hahaha. I'm really not used to it til now. Oh well. Went to South Supermarket to buy some groceries. Then met Carlo and his family at Metropolis. We were going to CCP to watch Benj's ballet thingy. She's part of the PBT. We arrived at the Harbor Square at around 7ish. Had dinner at Dencio's. Ate Shalom's treat! We had Kare Kare, Sisig, Grilled Pusit, and Crispy Pata. Yummy. Then we headed down to the CCP. The ballet was about Andres Bonifacio's life. So it's Andres in ballet shoes. It was fun. Really fun. Well, everything me and my hubby do is fun. Oh! And after the ballet, Ann (Daryl's GF) saw us there. She also watched the ballet. hehehe. What a coincidence. We got home at around 12 midnight. So tired. We still need to pack. But mom said we can go to bed and just worry about it after a few hours. Popsie wok...

Day 2, Friday - Beklah and Boo's Wedding. Wokeup at 8AM (hehehe) had breakfast and got ready. Picked up Bhernzy and the Lousy boys at Mcdo San Pedro. Had a super fun joyride to Tagaytay. Had lunch at Leslie's. Look at our view: We had Pork Sisig, Bulalo, Baked Mussels and Calamares. Yummy! Side kwento, this is how the bathroom looks like. I thought, I had to literally pump the water pump thingy. hahaha. After lunch, we went to Starbucks, had coffee and nice aircon. hahaha. The weather was really really hot. So we need AC!!!! We arrived at the Calaruega Church around 2pm. People are still setting up the place. The ceremony started at 3:45pm (nobody won in the bet on what time it will start) My head was killing me! I had my period ok! Nice timing. Oh well. We were part of the offertory thingy. But Lousy didn't take our photos. Grrr. The ceremony was nice. Rd and Tinee prepared their own vows. It was so kilig! hehehe. Then we went to the reception area. We were not able to hav...

Day 1 - Thursday, Our flight was scheduled at 10:35AM. Woke up at 730AM. Got ready and left home at around 8-ish. It was my first time in the Budget Terminal. I mean I've been there but never ever board the plane from there. Checkin was fine. Same as usual. Had breakfast at Hanis. Went thru the immigration. When we finally got to the Gate for boarding, I was so shocked! OMG! It was nothing like the normal international airport. Oh well, we only paid 382 for our tickets (2 way for my hubby and me). So, I can't complain. I just felt bad that my parents and siblings have been going in and out of SG thru that. They haven't seen how pretty the Changi Airport is. Oh well. Maybe next time, when I have super dooper lots of money. The flight was not bad. Bhernzy couldn't sleep because of the cup noodles smell. I told her to stop being PG. But we eventually got hungry and gave in. She ordered the noodles and I had the ham and cheese croissant. I was expecting it to be hot just li...
