After shooting on the 30th and 31st lst year, I voved not to take any more beyond the 29th.

But Barbi’s wedding came along and I just couldn’t say no.

It was amazing! Like she said in the video, months back she just visualized her wedding, everybody in white by the beach, the curious thing was, she was out of a relationship then.  But it happened!  And everything was executed Barbi-style! - with flair and elan.

Can a bride actually do her own makeup?
When was the last time you saw a pink and black gown?
Have you ever attended a wedding with a “bridal boat”?  Not a bridal car?
Or witnessed an exchange of oversized heart rings as wedding bands?

Only here folks.

A conversation between Pang and Jakob in Makati Medical Center’s restaurant:

Pang:  Jakob, would you like to try bird’s nest soup?

Jakob:  Mommy, Do you know what that’s made of?

Pang:  Yes.

Jakob:  And you expect me to eat saliva?

OMG!, we’re bringing up a wise-crackin’, trivia-lovin’ smart aleck!  And I love it!

Jakob and Lukas are having their respective “graduation” ceremonies today.

True Faith brings the house down in Beer’s Paradise. (mmmmm, beer!)

(can you spot - fresh from India Randall, Malambing Dino, Rihanna, the odd shaped beer glass, the new member of the makeupstudio, the newest engaged couple, the person who has the beer allergy, Bob “best rock performer” Nicolas, the gay hunk, the jmwv girls, the crossover toast, the mangoboys and the tipsy celebrant?)

Once again, thanks Pang!

My excellent adventures as a dad.

My turn to bring the kids for booster shots.

But what’s a visit to the doctor without a lollipop?

The SMS from Kitten Zapanta, Managing Editor of Wedding Essentials, read like this …

You have been chosen by Wedding Essentials to be featured and glammed up for it’s next issue!

I never say no these people nor pass the chance to ham it up in front of the camera. But what did glamming exactly mean?

Did it entail clipping my nose hairs? Wearing the latest collection from Paul Smith and doing Blue Steel? Or perhaps being oiled up and and posing au naturel?

If you guys have free time this May, check out the Lomowall put up by lomomanila in Bonifacio High Street as part of Passion Fest 2008.

The exhibit actually chronicles Bonifacio Global City from early morning ’til night time. Our team was left in charge of High Street, Market Market and construction works all over the city from mid-morning to afternoon.

The nice coffee cups above were at Sonja’s (yummy cupcakes!)

I really wish I had a deep reflective post about lent and Easter.  But I don’t.  My brain is fried from doing nothing (Holy Week keeps the entire Philippines in a standstill).

‘Til the next post…
