So many people have been asking me if I had eaten here…finally we went with the whole family! The place is a bit small only because it is always full!! I am not a Chinese food expert and I did not eat much that evening but some say it is Hong Kong Chinese food at very very reasonable prices. Most of the restaurants in the area were closed on a saturday - but EAT WELL was open and jam packed! They even had to turn down some walk ins..it was a good thing we reserved and we eat early for dinner
Hong Kong backdrop - so that you feel like you are in Hong Kong :-)
Deep Fried Golden Mushroom with Dried Japanese Shrimp- YUMMY! I could munch on this forever! <3
Masachi WIth Chocolate- we were so full and the place was getting too tight, we decided to take home the dessert we ordered. WOW!! YUMMY!! My favorite white chocolate inside melting and coming out!! Only P 48.00 for 6 pcs!!! Where can you get that nowadays in a Chinese restaurant?

This is becoming a yearly celebration and we are always honored to be part of Suharto’s family. I look forward to the special cake Soraya bakes for her Dad, the wonderful food, seeing their family and friends, Benny hosting and the fun entertainment. This year it was Nanet Inventor who i used to watch all the time on Penthouse Live
Tito Totoy is looking better and HAPPIER every year! He is lucky to have his children who love him very much and who all get together once a year from all over the world - to celebrate his special day! Happy Birthday tito Totoy!
It was a beautiful morning with strong winds coming from the beach…..
An intimate celebration with friends and family.
Mark and Neng wanted to share with us their favorite meal of the day, breakfast!
Instead of the usual throwing of the garter….the one who pulls the string with the ring
Instead of the usual throwing of the bouquet….The Dating Game…The bachelor gets to choose his partner by choosing her qualities through a process of elimination
This is the youngest maid of honor I have ever seen..and I thought it was very sweet and very touching to listen to Rachel sing and give her message to her Teacher who has become her friend and second mother
And Rachel sang a beautiful song from the Broadway play “Wicked”….
Simple, beautiful, unique, out of the ordinary, meaningful, emotional…. with so many beautiful
words sang and spoken by all the people who love Mark and Neng
Thank you for making us part of your special day.
Congratulations and Best Wishes!
They put the ferries to block the wind as the wind from the beach was very strong…. the view would
have been facing the beach and the waves….

Neng, You are the love of my life and to have you as my wife is one great blessing from our great GOD! I chose to love you, with kindness, humility, faithfulness, patience and respect. I promise to always be there for you to talk to and listen to you, to bring you as much happiness as I am able, to serve you and take care of your needs, and in everything to hold your hand a we make our way through life together. I look forward to our marriage as a time to get to know you even more intimately than I already do, through every circumstance that life may bring. As I habe give you my hand to hold, I give you my life to keep.
Mark, God’s goodness unfolds right before my very eyes everytime i look at you. The love that we have has been an answer to years of prayers and i am forever grateful to God for He has molded your heart and has allowed our lives to cross. I am truly blessed to have found the truest of love with you, and today I commit my life to yours. I vow to love you for all time and to stay faithful and true to you. I will comfort you in your pain & encourage you with your dreams.
As our journey through life begins today, I promise to you that i will forever be by your side and i will be ready to face everything the world has to offer and to go with you wherever God will lead both of us. I love you!
NENG’S WORDS OF GRATITUDE TO PARENTS:
It is every child’s dream to have a super hero parents and mine did come true. My dad is my hero. He is a cool dad. He fixes my hair at times, used to come with me to work when he is in the country, love the kids that i used to teach, laugh at my lousy jokes and even volunteered to put lace on my veil. And today, i just would like to thank him for allowing me to grow and be a person that i am now.
And for Mark’s parents, Tatay Ramon and Nanay Erma, thank you for raising up a fine young man as Mark. His good heart and love for God makes me love him more and more everyday. Thank you for accepting me in your family. For not judging me because I am different and for letting me truly feel love and being home again.
Having a hero for a dad, a godly man for a husband and a loving family to be called my own, fills my heart with so much joy and i praise God to all that.
A beautiful ceremony - the pouring of sand into one bottle - symbolizing the joining of their lives as one
We were very proud to be in Corregidor because of James’ grandfather, President Sergio Osmeña. Of course we made sure to take a photo!
The Malinta Tunnel tour was amazing! Something that should not be missed when in Corregidor.
You walk through the tunnel…..
and there are different scenes you go to narrating the history of Corregidor…..
until you reach the end…..
This was the end of our tour and we went back to the hotel and checked in our rooms. Thank you to our tour guide, Stella Cordoba, who did a great job …very entertaining too
I really would love to do this all over again…and hopefully with Carlos Celdran the next time
In between the tour, they took us to our hotel to have lunch first as we were getting hungry…Corregidor Inn is the only hotel in the island. It is quite old which fits the look and feel of the place, so I liked it.
Our tour guide told us that there was one TV in the whole hotel and we all have to share in the lobby- we thought she was joking…she was serious But then we realized we never had to even watch TV the whole trip and we still enjoyed the place. You can walk to the beach from the hotel, they have a swimming pool, they have board games which you can borrow…or you can just sit and relax

The view from the La Playa restaurant - that is the beach and where the wedding venue was
They served us buffet lunch as we were a big group - the food at their restaurant is coffee shop style, not a long menu but the food was very decent and good. I brought a few snacks with me but realized I should have brought more as there are no stores in the island to buy and if ever you find snacks in the small stores, they cost 3 to 5 times the price plus they do not have much variety. So try to bring some on your trip.
