RBC Race for the Kids | Fundraising Fun Run for BC Children's Hospital

By Celine -
Happy Sunday! I wanted to watch the BC Lions season opener last night, but I need to sleep early because I'm "running" (walking/jogging) the following day. I registered to run 5 kilometres during the RBC Race for the Kids.

Nat Bailey Parking Lot

My husband is a runner. He did a half-marathon last month, and here I am doing my 5km. My hope (goal) is to hopefully continue losing weight and be able to run with him. I am just happy to lose a bit of weight since last year that jogging doesn't hurt my knee anymore because it can carry my weight. Yay for small wins!

We started the day early and went straight to the parking lot behind Nat Bailey Stadium. I got my Hero Cape for fundraising more than $500 for BC Children's Hospital, and we enjoyed the day. I'm running, but Jomar is not, so he has all my things and will wait for me at the finish line.

My leg cramped during the 2nd and 3rd kilometres, so it has my slowest speed, but I managed to jog/run during the 4th and 5th kilometres until the finish line.

Below are some pictures of the day that we have.

I'm with Fin. He's the mascot of the Vancouver Canucks.

Proudly wearing my hero cape :)

Race for the Kids

After the run, we grabbed lunch from one of the food trucks at the event. Then, it started raining. Afterward, we visited the photobooth and walked to my sister's boyfriend's place nearby. Finally, we were able to change, and they played NHL 2022 on the Playstation, and we went home.

I'm exhausted, and my feet are sore, but my heart is filled with joy to be part of this event and help healthcare be better for kids in BC.

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

Mangdang Gen San Experience!

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
