I haven’t blogged about last Christmas’ Palawan trip yet. And now I’ve been to and back from Philippines again for Chinese New Year and to be part of entourage to my brother’s wedding.
About the title, fortunately is my eldest brother’s wedding in Manila. He and his fiance Jacqueline have been going out for… omg 9 years? But anyway, Jacky’s a nice girl, she’s very soft spoken and ladylike (a trait that me nor my sister don’t posses), and she likes to bake and decorate cakes, so we’re lucky we have her join the family!
Wedding was very tiresome, let me tell you. The night before, I was only able to sleep at 1 am. Then we have to get up on the wedding day at 8am (supposedly 6am!!) to have makeup, hair and nails done. Peter had a field day with my makeup and called me “cake face”.
So far it went smoothly. During the reception, some couples were called on stage to participate in a game where the band plays a tune and the couple has to sing a line from it. Unsurprisingly, me and Peter were called up stage, among 8 other couples. Peter, who is quite well-versed in music, is stumped! haha He said he doesn’t recognize even a single tune. There was even a Tagalog song that I don’t know the lyrics to. LUCKILY, with just 3 couples left behind, the emcee sang The Moon Represents My Heart (Youtube song here) by Teresa Teng. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I was very very happy the band played that tune!! It’s one of my dad’s favorite songs and he used to play it all the time when we were kids (I’m sure until now). So yes, we went up the microphone and I sang one line from the song. So embarrassing!
Anyway, photos from the wedding:
