My weekend was relatively exciting, frustrating and satisfying all at the same time. It was abnormal for me to wake up at 5 am on a weekend. But I have to. Adrian and I are going to Cavite to meet with Ezra [a household name in my wedding blog] and her husband Butch by 7am. They arranged a meeting for us with June Seculles, a photographer. After seeing his works, which were very good if I may add, we signed him up to be our official wedding photographer. I was excited to give him the first check that i ever signed and issue in my entire life. Hahaha! Filled with excitement, I didn't expect how frustrating our meeting with the in-house caterer of Chateau will be. In the end, we were considering to just rent the place and hire another caterer. But then we passed ourselves to give them a chance. We'll be going back there to check how they do an actual set-up of a reception on June 25.
We had lunch in Tagaytay at Green ATS Bulalohan, where they serve fast [they served our mean in less than 10 minutes or was it 5 minutes?], delicious and affordable meal. There was even a comic encounter between Adrian and a waiter.
Adrian: “May bottled water ba kayo?”
Waiter: “wala po”. “Mineral water lang po”.
Adrian: “ ahh.” “anong pangalan ng mineral water?”
Waiter: “samit” (refers to Summit Distilled Water)
Adrian: “sa inyo?” “kuha mo kami ng apat”.
(We are all laughing after the waiter left. Good thing Adrian and the waiter understood each other…and the waiter arrived with 4 bottled water after a few minutes.)
Went back to Chateau Royale to do some arrangements and headed to Nasugbu. Where Adrian, Butch, Dandin (Adrian’s brother), Arvin (Adrian’s cousin) and Tito Tony (Arvin’s Dad) had some brandy while Ezra and me nibbled on some grilled squid and calamari that are so yummy. I can’t remember if they emptied the bottle of Carlos I brandy. But nonetheless, all men were sober and can walk straight. Ezra and I took the opportunity to fit the flower girls their dress since Mae and Abby are there too. It just needs a little adjustment though, but it was beautiful seeing it on them.
After freshening up, and me changing into comfy clothes. We headed to one of Nasugbu’s landmark “Aling Celing’s halo-halo” and order it with the pork barbeque. This is what I always look forward to every time I’m here in Nasugbu and my visit is not complete without a having this halo-halo and barbeque combo.
Before heading home we dropped by Adrian’s grandparents’ house to chat with Lolo Paco and Lola Ina for a while. And went back to their newly painted house. Ended the day with a nice cool bath and slept as early as 9 p.m. My head hurts, and flu is slowly taking over.
