A Wedding–how my weekend was spent

 

    Happy feel good Sunday everyone! Yesterday, M and I attended our Friends wedding somewhere in BF Paranaque. The wedding was simple but very heartfelt, finally they are married and can share their lives together as husband and wife.

     M’s dad gifted him a nice car for his birthday a few months ago, it may not be new but at least he has his own already. And finally, yesterday, my man was able to drive me around. I arrived early, a few minutes later M arrived with his car and I had a huge smile on my face. Seeing him learn and drive his car is another achievement for him. M was E’s best man, he couldn’t pick me up at my place since he had to be early. I took a taxi from Makati all the way to Paranaque, I told the driver to take the route to SLEX. It was a very hot weather that day~

                                                            Toll fee is P75

                                                           Along Sucat highway~

   Waiting for M to arrive. I didn’t wear a dress for the wedding because my black cover top got lost.

   As soon as M arrived, we decided to grab a quick breakfast at Jollibee. Along the streets of BF, they really have nice restaurants around AANNDD, I also saw a Serenitea but I wasn’t able to take a picture.

                                                                   M driving~

For breakfast here’s what we had…

                                                                     M’s order~

   I ordered the 5pc chicken nuggets rice meal, which also comes with a Captain America toy. They also have a barbeque sauce, but it’s not as dense as compared with Mcdonald’s, but almost tastes the same. I gave the voice activator to my Nephew.

 

     As soon as we finished we went back to the church, I took some photo’s along side BF homes.

                                                            A’ veneto pizzeria~

    I definitely felt safe with my man’s driving, he kept reminding me: “babe, check your door, babe lock your door, babe put your seat belt on”. LOL! I thought all along that he was showing off his driving skills, but at the end of the day, he admitted that he was nervous throughout our travel. In fairness, he’s a good driver.

 

     The sermon of the priest taught me a thing or 2. Most photo’s were taken after the wedding and during the reception.

                            On our way to the reception at Nestle and Flora~

      We liked their idea of how they named each table for the guests, it was unique. M and I are thinking of adapting the same, hehe. Their theme for food was Japanese, simple dishes but very flavorful.

                                                                     Appetizer~

                                         Bride and Groom – Joy and Edwin

        They’re great people to be with. M and E share the same passion, while J and I may not be that close, she’s really nice and a great baker too.

                         Super yummy cake. The icing was soooo good~

    The cake is fluffy and light, icing was not that sweet and the fruits tasted fresh. The only piece left from the 2 layered cake.

       The Wedding may not be grand but in my perspective, things still went well and we felt that they are happy. This couple has definitely been through a lot of trials, which is why I really admire them. They’ve been together longer than M and I have.

 

    After the wedding, we went to SM Sucat to buy some stuff and because I was still craving for TURK’s, we grabbed a quick bite.

     Traffic yesterday was really bad, I think it has something to do with the SALE. Even going to Ortigas was really traffic (bumper to bumper).

                                                                      M’s baby~

          So, that’s pretty much how I spent my weekend yesterday, when I got home, my sister was so sweet to give me pasalubong. Tokyo Tokyo’s California Maki.

 

    Weddings are beautiful and heartfelt, I don’t find it cliché’ as how to some people may describe it. It may be just a celebration, but for a woman it is the most important event that will happen only once in her life. M and I definitely need to save up a lot if I want to have a good wedding. Everything is so expensive, yikes!

 

    Till then!

 

  Meow.. Meow..

Food trip weekend date

 

    Food trip weekend and some quality shopping time with M. Spent the whole day in Makati to shop for his gym clothes and gloves. He’s been hitting the GYM for the past few weeks already, started off with jogging then going to a gym near his place. I can definitely say that he lost some weight. As for me, just dancing in closed doors and using our stationary bike for an hour ( I just started last week, and still have a loong way to go).

     We canvassed for his gloves at Parksquare at the same time looked for prospect laptops that I will soon be investing on. It was nearing lunch at that time, and because we’re keeping expenses at minimal we ate at SM Food court.

                                                   On our way to Glorietta~       

     In our previous dates, M introduced me to TURK’s, by far this IS the best (cheap) shawarma I have tried. Usually, there’s this after smell of eating shawarma, which is why I avoid eating it when on a date with M. The first time I tried it was at SM Bicutan, but wasn’t able to take pictures, so this time I made sure I did. The beef was sort of sweet and doesn’t taste or smell malansa. Even the onions they use is sweet too. You can choose your shawarma with veggies or all meat. All meat in small size costs P45.

     The smell reminds me of isaw (chicken or pork intestine), which I really liked. But of course it doesn’t taste like isaw okay? 100% beef NO CARA BEEF~

                                All meat shawarma with hotsauce is heaven~

     I’m not ashamed to say that we eat in places like food court (just keeping it real). This was our appetizer, for lunch I tried Mr. Kimbob while M had BBQ (will make a separate review for it).

    For our merienda, I was still craving for Chowking’s Nai Cha and some empanada’s. When we passed by Jollibee, we saw something new: Chicken Nuggets, which M had.

                                                                 Nai Cha P39

                                         Assorted Empanada P5.50 each (small)

         The name of the kiosk is Empanada, which you can find at MRT stations. Back when I was working at Ortigas, I usually have this for breakfast on the way home.

     

     Their chicken nuggets had some bits of pieces of carrots, and IMHO their nuggets are comparable to Mcdonald’s only without the BBQ sauce and much softer. The meal costs P110 I think.

       I asked M if we could check out Toy Kingdom and of course he gladly obliged. I saw a really pretty hello kitty cushion, I wasn’t able to take ninja pictures of it though because both my phone and digital camera DIED on me (pfffft)! Most of the pictures here are from M’s Itouch. My visit to Parkquare will not be complete without visiting Bio research and was really happy to see a kitten and adult Siamese

      

        For dinner, M was really intrigued with my lunch (Mr. Kimbob) which is why he had the same thing. I was in the mood for Kowloon’s siomai and had their yellow rice.

                     Pork siomai and 1 order of rice from Kowloon only P70

     

                                                                         Burp~

         To end the day, my M treated me to a sweet fix and sort of “splurged” a bit at Starbucks, advanced celebration of our 50th plus anniversary. Thanks love, really appreciate it a lot.

    His usual fix of chocolate cream something and my Soy and strawberries and cream (camera used Itouch). The Soy and strawberries were rockin’ good! and tasted like milkshake. As usual, Starbucks at Glorietta 4 is always full.

      I had fun yesterday, no hauls though. Hope I didn’t leave you hungry with all the food photos (hehe). As usual, here’s a photo of the spoiled kitty who was happy to see me last night. LOL!

 

     In essence, my day yesterday was relaxing, it’s nice to get away from the negative vibes and spend the whole day with the one you love. The highlight was the TURKS shawarma, Staruck’s Soy and strawberries and cream and Jollibee’s chicken nuggets is a must try!

 

       Have you tried any of those? excited to try? share~

 

 

      Till then!
