Day 3 of PH Vacation. Errands

By Celine -
This post is first of my PH vacation series:


This is the 4th blog post of my Philippine vacation last February and it's describing our 3rd day back in Manila. It's Monday, February 18. Because jet lag is real, we were already awake at 5:00 in the morning. The agenda for the day is quite boring.

  1. Go to Tita Mimi (our seamstress and designer) in Muntinlupa
  2. Go to Pioneer to get the property title of the condominium.
  3. Go to Ortigas to withdraw money from our stocks account.

Good morning!

Tita Mimi is referred to us by Ms. Myna and she lived all the way in Muntinlupa which will be a challenge to go to. At 5 in the morning, I told Jomar, we should rent a car to go there. He said, sure. I sent Ms. Myna and Hester of QSR to see if we can book a car for the same day and I would totally understand if we can't because it's the same day - you just don't do that.

While waiting for a response, we had to meet Jossel and Rose near their workplace to get JT's baptismal certificate. The four of us had breakfast in McDonald's.


Because Hester is an angel, she was able to get us a car. Now, we're waiting for the car at McDonald's while enjoying or Shake Shake Fries.

Tita Mimi

We went to Muntinlupa and Tita Mimi is one of the most glamorous people I've met. I wore my gown and they tried to figure out alteration and what she's going to do. We also scheduled to go back on Wednesday with Nanay, my maid-of-honor, and bridesmaids.

Pioneer

After that, we went to Robinsons Pioneer Center to have our 2x2 picture taken which is a requirement by Manila Cathedral and made photocopies of all our documents. We also had lunch at KFC. The gravy is so yummy. I went back to the gravy station so many times.


I went to the condo admin office and they had no idea about the title (which is annoying). They told me to go to the main office in Robinsons Galleria.

Ortigas

We went to our broker in Ortigas to get some money because we really didn't have any coming to the Philippines. Then, off to Robinsons Galleria to get the condo title. It took around 30 minutes and we decided to have snacks in the grocery - I had turon and boiled corn. So yummy! Jomar even purchased buko juice.


We had dinner with Mitch at Kenny Rogers. I only had side dish sampler because of diet. But had an ice cream sandwich at Dairy Queen.

Such a long day but we completed our goals for the day and I am happy.

How much does a wedding in Manila Cathedral cost?

By Celine -

Jomar and I will have our Philippine Catholic wedding in July. To enlighten those who want to have their Sacrament of Holy Matrimony in the beautiful and historic Manila Cathedral, I will share with you how much it cost. Why did we pick Manila Cathedral? I want to say that because it's historic and beautiful. But honestly, it's because Manila Cathedral has relevant information on their website for a couple like us living and already legally married abroad. Ms. Donna also responds to our emails and calls promptly. The bonus is it's historic and beautiful. According to one of my Ninang, " ang haba ng walk down the aisle mo ." I didn't think of that. I'm not sure if I like it. LOL. They also have a dashboard where you complete the forms, and it lists what you need to submit and when. It's pretty impressive. Wedding Preparation Step 1. Reserve a wedding date The first thing you do is go to their

It was my first time in Mindanao last weekend. I went to the Land of the Champions and Land of Tuna, General Santos City, Philippines. It was a fantastic experience! Day 1 - Magandang GenSan! Jomar, Mam Chelle, and I left Makati around 6:00 am for our flight at 7:20 am. After rushing through the airport and paying the terminal fee, the plane took off at around 7:45 and we arrived at the General Santos City International Airport at about 9:30 am. Upon deplaning, we met with Ms. Aileen and her son, Miggy, and Vincent. All of us rode the van waiting for us from the East Asia Royale Hotel. We left our things and rest for a while in our rooms. After a few minutes, we went to Ranchero's Grill and Restaurant for lunch.

Japanese Food Trip: Yabu (House of Katsu)

By Celine -

I have to come to love Japanese cuisine, from a steaming bowl of ramen to the raw sashimi and sushi but of all the Japanese food I have tried, my ultimate favourite is the Japanese Curry. I have tried a lot of Japanese restaurants around Metro Manila and would always order the Japanese Katsu Curry. Last Sunday, I had my "love myself more day." I went shopping around Glorietta for corporate attire since I am about to start my new work. When consulting my trusted app,  +Foursquare  it suggested that I have lunch in Yabu in Glorietta 5. Thus, I had my Sunday lunch there alone. At first, people were looking at me like I am weird eating alone. The table on my left is a family while on my right is a couple, and here I am in the middle being in my usual Sunday alone-ness. Upon checking the menu, I decided to have the Chicken Katsu Curry Set. After giving my order, the waitress explained the Yabu tradition and discussed that all sides are unlimited. After around 10 minutes, my
