Aunty V

I'll miss her greatly... my aunty vivian or what we call her as "aunty V". She was always positive about everything and nothing could keep her from being in a good mood.  Even when she was in pain... everything is always "okay". 

I'm going to miss you a lot aunty v.  How can we ever have another camping trip?  You were always the cook! I don't think I'll be able to plan one.... for a very long time.... a very very very long time. It would hurt to go to Mammoth without her there... 

Even when I was getting married in the Philippines... she was excited to go!! When I first told her that I wanted their family to be at my wedding, I remember her saying, "Of course!" without any hesitation.  She was even more excited when Fred and Natasha got married 18 days ago in New Jersey... Now here I am looking through the photos during the wedding... searching for my aunty V.

She definitely lived a full and happy life... raising three successful/faithful/active children that I am proud to say are my cousins...  and through them, I'll see a part of her always...

I miss you aunty and I am grateful to God for giving me an aunt like you...  Until we see each other again... and yes, I'll be sure to take care of Joy ;-D as well as Jodick, Fred, and Uncle Willy too.

I got a Shootsac!!!!!

Today, I got to work and totally forgot that I had a package coming... when I got in, I already had a ton of things to do, so when Brad came by and handed this package to me, it made my day!

Here's my shootsac! I love it already! I tried it on and I can't believe I didn't get one of these a long time ago... it really does conform to your body unlike the typical camera bags out there. Plus what's cool is that the cover can be changed too!! I need to get one for Ryan :-D.

So, if any of you would like to give me a gift for whatever reason... a gift certificate from shootsac.com would be soooo awesome! *hint hint* :-D

Last Day In NY

I haven't had the chance to blog about our last day in NY, so here it is!

We got to ate Peachy's home around 9pm on Saturday after Fred's wedding. Before we got home though, ate Peachy wanted to take us to a Thai Restaurant to get some dinner, especially since Ryan and I didn't really get to eat during the wedding. Sorry, but I forgot the name of the restaurant... something with "Thai" in the name.. Ryan says it was called, "Thai Food" (go figure)... Here are photos of our meal :-D We got some sort of salmon dish, a papaya salad dish, and of course, the ever popular pad thai dish :-D


The next day, before worship service, Ryan and I ate breakfast at Dunkin Donuts. It's all over the place, but I never really tried their donuts until now. Gosh, I just realized how much food we've eaten throughout the trip... okay back on my diet tomorrow! =P. Sparkpeople... here I come ;-D


We attended worship service the next day at Bellmore Locale (formerly known as Long Beach, NY locale). The lesson was really nice and inspirational.. as we remember it, it was about trusting in what God can do for us... and not specifically the instruments He uses... :-D Here's a photo of me and Ryan outside the chapel after the worship service.


We hung out with some brethren. Actually I met them a long time ago at a chat room known as INC mIRC. They are my old mIRCer friends from long ago!! Here are some pictures of them :-D Oh and happy birthday KAT!
I also got shot of Ricci and Carlo (old IRC friends) and their adorable Riley! (I hope I spelled his name right!) He is the cutest CWS Bellmore baby ever that I know! ;) I just realized that the couples shown on this blog are products of INC IRC :-D.


Well, Ryan and I had to book a hotel room for Sunday evening at the Sheraton because our flight back home was canceled. Before going to the hotel, ate Peachy, Ryan and I passed by Jones Beach to take some photos. We then headed off to Jordan's Lobster Bar for lunner (lunch-dinner)...

Fred & Natasha - Wedding Slideshow

After months of preparations, the day finally arrived! Fred & Natasha were wed on a beautiful Saturday morning in a quiet little town called Sicklerville, New Jersey.  These two must have been one of the most "in love" couples I've ever witnessed!   Just by looking at Fred, you can see how much he loves her... and how much she loves him too.  I thought it was so much fun that after the wedding, Fred treated a lot of us out to get some Italian Ice at Rita's Italian ice... This definitely was one of the most fun weddings I've attended with their Hawaiian themed reception!

Fred and Natasha are currently driving across the country during their honeymoon. How cool is that?!?  So I wanted to get this slideshow up so that it'll be ready when they get to California.

For those of you who were not able to attend, I hope you enjoy this slideshow as well! Please click on their photo below to get the slideshow started!
