Sobie and JB go a long way back. And I’m not talking about years here. But YEARS. We were in our fourth year in high school when JB and Sobie brought on the holding hands gig and made everyone talk. I didn’t. I was too liberated for that. I gave them both a pat on the back and now that they are married, I couldn’t help but cry.

Yes, I cried at Sobie’s wedding and I’ll cry at every damn wedding that involves any of my bestest friends. What does Sobie know about getting married? She’s 27 and giggly and hides any of my stuff whenever she gets the chance. She thinks it is funny if one pair of your sandals is gone and you’d scramble around looking for it. Till now she still hides my stuff and she will forever be our darling Sobie.

To Sobie and JB, December 26, 2009 Transfiguration Church,

Funny how we have all grown up together for eight years with you both witnessing how we your friends subscribe to happiness in failed relationships yet lest bemoan the breakups we have had to endure. But you both have always been there – together – never faltering – never breaking up – and somehow, we all knew that you both will end up here, in this church, and letting everyone realize that there is hope for the rest of us – that somehow, we all know that we would find someone to never falter with.

We love you.
 

Arrived at the Transfiguration Church Monastery with the family

I did my makeup by the way and also my sister’s. This dress was designed by yours truly. So simple.

Cookie, the Candle Sponsor

I cried when she walked down the aisle!

The Entourage. Sorry the photo is dark! Lol.

Bride Friends, Grooms friends, Bride’s HS classmates, Grooms HS classmates. The photog was exasperated!

Love my friends!

Roadhouse Cafe

I’ll miss you bingkat!

Hahaha I had confetti in my mouth

I miss my girls! That’s Leslie in the brown dress and Apple in blue.

Say hi to my mom and dad.  I look bug eyed here. See those photos on the table? They are their Thank You cards. So cute! Made from Cagayan de Oro Handmade Paper, of course, which Jb’s family is the proprietor.

She is most happy here – in this place

Oh, well. Till next wedding!

But you have to watch it to understand why they would subject themselves to being condemned by a social worker like Renee who was very much repulsed by such un-parently behavior; you’d have to understand why you want to kick yourself in the arse for watching something predictable yet still is glued to the tv screen.

Fun to watch a kid turned psycho. Not fun to actually come to terms with your fears. Ugly and not fun, at all. This also brings me to that Q&A scene between the psychiatrist and Lilith. “What are your fears? Everyone seems to have one.” or, “You must have at least a YES in those questions.”

So I thought Case 39 was another remake of the movie, Orphan, whose character becomes unpredictable and turns all moviegoers to get scared of kids now. If you like the Orphan, you might want to check out Case 39.

Even if the story is predictable, you can’t help but get scared sometimes. Especially with that gruesome visual effects of burnt skin and demon faces that is shown without warning. I. Hate. When. That. Happens. It doesn’t give me time to cover my eyes!

Child actress Jodelle Ferland has so much potential! She doesn’t have that bubble gum factor Dakota Fanning has. Ten percent of the entire film actually scares you but the rest were just a huge effort to go on watching. You’d jump for a while and get psychologically intrigued by all that babble but you’d realize Renee is too cute for this movie. One last question, why can’t scary young girls be blonde this time?

Have anyone been ready for last month’s Sinulog festivities? Not that it requires TOO much effort to do that but when last year I attempted on  what are the essentials and the must-haves you must tote around with you come the Sinulog 2010 Mardi Gras/Street Parties, I was not really doing so much this year.

1. Stampede-ready shoes. It is highly unlikely that a stampede happens during Sinulog street parties but a stampeded usually means a scream fest because a Kapamilya celebrity is waving at them from their floats.
2. Sunblock. Carry one not wear it!
3. Water. Water. Water.
4. Street-Party light. This means that the lighter, the better. If you feel the need to carry essentials such as extra t-shirts, alcohol, cotton swabs, leave them in the car. Sling or messenger bags help keep you from worrying where you last placed your stuff.
5. Camera! Even if you didn’t sign up for the Sinulog Photo Contest and paid P650 for the PRESS ID, you can still get very beautiful stills even at the sidelines and viewing decks.
6. Lipgloss. Instant retouch, anyone?
7. Scholl for a bunion-free life!

Day 1, Friday

Dinner at The Walk with the boyfie before he does to work.

This is my bad ass look. Trying too hard.

Boyfie pissed at being late. Teehee. Headed straight to Cebu International Convention Center (CICC) to watch Tom Woodfin’s fight.  

This is what happened to Tom’s opponent. Literally KO! Bo from y101fm was hosting and between rants and raves, that Iranian guy was knocked out! By Tom Woodfin! Hurray! I was so happy that I didn’t get to yell anymore. Too much testosterone there, kid.
