Hey there! It’s my 4th week here in the Philippines! So far things are good except from the fact that I was sick for a week because of maybe a sudden change of weather. Well it’s been raining here for quite sometime now especially during night time and yet during day time, the humid and hot weather just really suck! Maybe that’s also the reason why I got sick. I still have cough, but I’m feeling a little bit better now.
Good Morning with my Bebeh on my side
I started my week with a surprise with Thet. She didn't have any idea that I will be in the Philippines on the 12th of October. I told her that I'll be here on the 15th but I tricked her and surprised her when I went to her work place in Ortigas. It was 11:30 pm when I got there. My jet lag is killing me during that time but it didn't stop from doing my plan. In return, Thet gave a punch on my tum lol. I can tell that she hates surprises! Hehehehe... And finally, I met her crazy gay team. They are really fun to be with! Thanks guys for being there for my Thet!
The wedding preps are doing well. In fact, as soon as I arrive here, Thet and I has been very busy on doing our wedding papers for the church and the dresses that our entourage needed, of course. We went to Manila for our official grooms men's suit maker, Gardini. With us, is my best friend Von, who’s going to be my best man. And finally, the tailor took my measurements for my wedding tuxedo. We’ve scheduled the fitting for the rest of my groom’s men on 4th of November. It was supposed to be done on weekdays, but since majority of them can’t make it because of their work, we decided to put the schedule on Sunday since the shop is open 7 days a week.
One of dramatic thing that just happened to me is when my Father-in-law to be found out that I was married before. Thanks to Thet for leaving the all of my paper works on their sofa--- exposed to people like her father. It’s not supposed to happen that way. Thet knows about it and we're actually planning to tell them about my status in the US. But it didn’t happen as we‘ve planned to be. And I am also not so ready about it. Papa confronted me and asked me “what’s up with those papers?” I knew that he’s angry when he asked me because he ain't smiling. Good Lord, I explained things well and he understood. He told me that I have to be honest to him next time and make even surer that I don’t have kids on my first marriage. Hehehe.
Maybe that was rough, but surely the following week is even rougher than her Father’s interrogations. We went to the jungle of Divisoria to look for the shop of Thet’s bride’s maid and her wedding gown as well. They moved their shop to another mall. Thanks to their helper who came to help us to find the way to their new place. We also went to 168 mall for bride’s maid shoes. It was a super adventure for me. Just imagine the sweat, the odor, the mud and the heat of the sun on the street of Divi? That was wack! But at least I am now aware of things that my wifey doing when I’m not here. It was a super difficult and I can’t blame her about the stress.
Well aside from these things, I also visited my Lola Ponying and my Aunts in Rosario, Cavite. We had a little lunch in her house. I also met Thet's little niece Akane. She's very and cute although she's a crybaby when she first met me. Well that's how babies are when they see a stranger, right? But she's a cute little one!
Anyway, we visited my Lola Penie's grave yard during the All Saints Day. Everybody's there, my aunts and cousins but some of them seems to have issues with my mom, so they don't really talk to each other. Ahhhh... I hate family feuds!
That’s all for now. I’ll post more maybe next week. Bye!
