The wedding of my cousin Alex with Ascel last December 30 has been the reason why loved ones from everywhere were able to get-together and have a what can be considered as a reunion. Highlights of the event, in my POV including pre and post wedding activities are as follows:

Dec 26 – We visited Inday Phebe and Tito Roming at the Union’s guesthouse where they arrived earlier from Seattle.

Dec 28 – Around 10am, Jimer and I went to Pier 15 to meet with Tiyo’y Jesher and Manang Fe. In the afternoon, Samuel went to the airport to meet Manong Eman and his family. They all stayed for the night at our humble house and we were able to fit a total of 12 people inside!

Dec 29 – After last minute change of arrangement, it was agreed that we will meet with Manong Jun at NPUM around 9AM. So we all get ready early in the morning and took 3 cabs to fit us all, going to NPUM. When Manong Jun arrived, it was clear that we cannot fit in his Starex if we include our baggages. It was decided that Manong Eman and his family with Jeremy will stay and wait for Manong Leslie while the rest of us went ahead, destination SSD. Here are our pictures at NPUM.

Some nights ago, while I was clearing the table after dinner, I heard Bato called to Gabi to give him toothpick. I’ve instructed the two girls before to wash first the toothpick before using because we don’t know how sanitized they are, so when she handed one to her Dad, Bato was slightly doubtful as to why it was wet. I then joked with him that Gabi already used it because she took some time in the kitchen before giving it to her dad. But Gabi innocently defended herself that she was able to wash it after using before giving it to her dad. And that really caused all of us to laugh very hard while Gabi is still wondering what’s the joke about.
