PaCHRISNamanRAZEL Wedding

-
I can't put into words how happy I am to see two of my highschool friends tie the knot last January 17, 2020. It was a beautiful wedding of two individuals who used to make fun of each other, bully each other when we were still in higschool. 😊 Hehehe.

It took a year for my friends to prepare for this wedding. And with the Taal Volcano erupting recently, hay talaga naman! Parang sumuot sa butas ng karayom ang mga kaibigan ko. 😞 But thank God for His guidance and help, my friends, together with their loved ones were still able to pull off such a beautiful wedding.

From Tagaytay, they transferred their wedding to Pampanga. And I know how it made my Potsita (Razel) disappointed and sad. 😞 But there's no turning back anymore, everything's all set. And in my opinion, postponing the wedding isn't an option because the couple have prepared this big event for a year (or more than) already. Extra efforts were even done from their part since they're US-based. And it's not easy to book all the suppliers. With that said, maybe my couple friends were thinking - it's now or never.

Moving on..

It was a beautiful sunny Friday during the day of the wedding.

My dearest Pi in film. 😍🎞

Fea and I arrived at the preparation venue at 9AM.

Dona and Fea. 👯‍♀️

We were greeted by Tita Joy (bride's mom) when we arrived. A little kamustahan with tita then we looked for the bride afterwards. We wanted to check how she was doing. And we were very stunned seeing our Tetel so radiant and beautiful on her wedding day! 😍

After some chikahan, Fea and I already queued for make-up. Then Razel told us that she got us some presents and inside it are the pajamas that we need to wear for the pictorial.

Huhu. And look at them! It's super Razel - kikay and handmade.

For myself and Fea.

And this is what's inside - pair of earrings, a mug, bedroom slippers and PJ's.

The bride told us to wear this pretty pair during the wedding. 😊

Make-up area.
After so, our friends have started to arrive. It was my highschool and college friends who have arrived. In case you didn't know, Razel and I went to the same school from highschool to college. And we even stayed in one dorm, one room and one bunk bed during college. O di ba, hindi na talaga ako humiwalay sa kanya? Haha. There were 3 of us actually, it was her, me and Kriska. 😊💕 Huhu. And I love them forevsss! 💚💚💚


Our highschool guy friends have also arrived. Hence, a film picture with them. Hihi. 🎞


Hello from me, Fea and Kristel. 😊

The bride's here now and ready for pictorial! Hihi.

With Justin and Joma who dropped us here earlier at the prep venue. Huhu. Effort! Thank you talagaaa!  💕

Then pictorial sessions with the bride followed:

Then pictures to follow at the wedding Church.

Picture with the our love, Joma. 💕

AT THE CHURCH NOW.

When I was about to enter the Church, I saw my highschool guy friends taking pictures together. That's why I hurried up and shouted that I want to take a picture with them. Epal lang? Hahaha.

Ola from us! Can't imagine how we've all aged. LOL.

 And here's my solo pictures with them in a collage. 💕



I wouldn't deny it, I really missed them. And I only get to see some of them during special occasions. That's why I took this opportunity to have a picture taken with each of them. Minsan lang ito eh! 😬 

Of course, a picture with the groom, Diego. 🤵🏽

The maid of honor with the groom. 😊

 During the ceremony, taking pictures has been strongly discouraged. We actually tried to take some sneaky shots but one of the coordinators kept on approaching us and telling us that we cannot take pictures. Mehehe. Mga pasaway! ✌🏼

Going forward.. during these times, I guess, taking pictures is finally allowed. Hihi.

After the priest has announced that my friends are already married! 👰🏼🤵🏽


You may now kiss the bride! 😬

Matias Family. 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

One more kiss before we all headed to the reception area. And look at Tito Ray (bride's dad), he was so happy! Hihi.

 PICTORIAL SESSIONS WITH THE ENTOURAGE.

Again, thank you so much Pi & Den for your patience and effort to drive all the way from Pasig to Pampanga! (Kahit wala na kayong tulog halos. Huhu.) I'll never forget this it talaga! 💕

Film shot by yours truly. 🎞😬

With my highschool loves + Nek and Mac. 💕

 Then here are some pictures that I took while the couple's pre-nup photos were being flashed on screen: 



UGH. ANG GANDAAA! 😍



DANCE PORTION.
  
The bride and the father.

The groom and the mother.

And the gents from the entourage gave a surprise number. Haha.
Then group/table photo sessions followed before the feast had begun. 🍽


There were random pictorial poses that each group/table has to follow. And this was what we've got:

"Himala" movie starring Nora Aunor.

And guess what? Contest pala ito and we bagged the award for the best photo here! ⭐️ Yay!

After filling our tummies with food. Picture-picture lang ulit with my highschool and college loves. 📸💕

With Lemmy na sobrang dalang ko makita. Haha. 💕
  
My dearest FG with the newly weds. 💕

With the ever-beautiful Dra. Taching. 💕

With Tala whom I really missed! 💕 Haven't seen her since we graduated from HS. Imagine!

 COMMERCIAL: PARLOR GAMES PHOTOS.  

Den bagging a Silver Swan & Datu Puti package. Hahaha.

And Owenn winning another package. Hahaha.

WEDDING PARTY TIME. 


Picture with the couple before we went home. 😬



Picture with these beautiful nurses from Australia and USA. 💕

 Then, some parking lot bonding and heart to heart talks for Chaching. Hihihi.



Then last photo before we parted ways. Huhuhu. Missing these ladies already! And I will always do. 😭

 The wedding was such a blast! I was very happy to see my highschool and college friends altogether. 💕 And I wonder whose wedding will be next? Aabangan natin 'yan. Haha.

That's all for now. 

See ya,
Dona

Ohayou, Japan! (Day 5)

Ohayou! I'm back again for my Japan blog. This time, it's gonna be about our 5th day in Japan. And as a recap, here are the links to my previous Japan blog posts: Ohayou, Japan! (Day 1) Ohayou, Japan! (Wizarding World of Harry Potter) Ohayou, Japan! (Day 2) Ohayou, Japan! (Day 3) Ohayou, Japan! (Day 4) Okay! Back to the story-telling. So, our only itinerary that day was this: 1.) Arashiyama Bamboo Forest 2.) Fushimi Inari Shrine 3.) Don Quijote (for the last time 🤣) Technically, we only visited 2 tourist spots during this day. How chill, right? Just the kind of travel that I want. Hehe. But as early as 7AM, I and my friends made sure to be all set and ready to go. We also wanted to avoid the crowded hours that's why we all decided to be up kinda early. Here's Shav and Con checking out the Kyoto map in our hotel. Also, in our hotel, there was a Freedom Board. And guess what? My work friends have decided to write our team

Mother's Day Special

After years and years of missing a Mother's Day Celebration with my mom, finally, my work schedule has somehow permitted me to celebrate it with her. Yay to that!  Oh, just please allow me to share this little rant of mine. Prior to celebrating it with her, I only had 3 precious hours of sleep because I worked on a graveyard shift the night before this. So, hello zombieland on a friggin' hot afternoon! But the heck I care, it's Mother's Day! So I shouldn't worry about anything, right? :)  So there, I battled the extreme weather, the Manila traffic and all, to have lunch with my fam bam who went all the way to Manila from Bulacan. Oh oh oh! I should give them an award for their effort too, I think. *wink* And now, let my photos do the talking. Had our lunch here at Hanamaruken Ramen , since Una prefers to have meal with a soup on the side or anything that has a soup in it. Told them that I'll be taking a snap shot and Una was in &qu

Elyu 2023

  Ola banana! My gosh. Has it been that long? No blog for almost 6 months? LOL. Sometimes, I just don't have time to write even I badly want to. Anyways, so here's a recent ganap which happened just last month - April 9-10, 2023 (Sunday-Monday). Together with my highschool friends, I and my husband went to La Union! Hooray! Nakakamiss rin namang gumala with the peoplets. My last outing with them was 2018 pa . Our outing fell on a Sunday -- which is actually Easter Sunday. Before our gala, one of us thought of attending a Mass on our way to La Union. Luckily for us that we found a Church along the way, that's kinda near our destination actually. I think, it was an hour or less than an hour before our destination. Our destination by the way is, San Juan (the surf town of La Union). Here's a photo of us inside the Church. Grabe. I can't help but mapa-throwback sa highschool days namin and the Masses that we used to attend altogether. Hehe. Inside the beautiful Basili
