Sunburnt & 2 Weddings

Just woke up from a 10-hour sound sleep...and still sleepy hehe! My muscles are aching (arghh!) and got a reddish brown complexion and feels a burning pain all over my skin (double arghh!). I bet the last sunburn for the summer season.

Our 3-hour drive to San Juan, Batangas was kinda tiring...though the van we rented was super dooper comfy...the long drive was "butt-torturing". Had slept a few times pero still, nakakabagot at nakakangawit. It's a good thing super kwela ng mga officemates ni Paul. Wala akong ginawa kundi tumawa ng tumawa. Ilya, their Russian expat officemate was equally entertaining, too.

We arrived at Virgin Beach Resort (sounds pornographic doesn't it? hehe!) in Laiya, San Juan, Batangas at past eleven in the morning. (kinda late kasi nagka-aberya sa pag-rent ni Paul ng van). Nice picturesque..white sand, serene and crystal-clear waters...pwede na! But rates are kinda steep though. Entrance fee is Php 650/adult for 8am-5pm stay, beachfront air-conditioned cottages cost Php 6K, an ordinary cottage (table with bubong) cost Php 1K and add'l Php 200 if you want to have a mattress. Baon food and drinks are not allowed. Set lunch menus are inclusive in the entrance fee. Regular halo-halo which I had for merienda is Php 100 plus 10% service charge.

Mr. Sun was in the mood up there yesterday and the heat was scorching..thus, went home with a sunburn. Games of Pinoy Henyo and Dugtungan Music Game made us busy throughout our trip back to Manila at 5:30 pm. It was kinda hilarious imagine ang ipahula ba naman sa Pinoy Henyo..morning glory, love handles, Papaya soap, etc. It rained hard while we were at South Luzon Expressway approaching Alabang. I was dropped off here in our Makati home at 9:30 pm while Paul proceeded to QC to give back the van we rented. For the second night in a row, di kami natulog ng magkatabi..waah! I miss my hubby na. Di bale later he'll be here na. Have to be here in Makati for a week to accompany my little brother. Our maid went home to her province for her children's enrollment. Wawa naman bro ko, la siya kasama. (My parents are abroad, ate Maila's in Qatar already and ate Marites frequently stays in Pasig for her business).

Pictures of our swimming to follow...the cam's cable is with Paul pa.

Best wishes and congratulations to our dear CWL sis, Concon and Nel who got married yesterday. At last, all 10 of us in our *ChikahangWalangLagot e-groups are hitched! Yehey! "Con, were you able to use Karla's daring undies she gave you on your bridal shower?"

*These are my online bestfriends whom I shared with our wedding preps, post wedding adventures and other chikahans..thus, Chikahang Walang Lagot. We are all rookie wives who got married '05 and '06.

Another wedding, Janice and Jerome will exchange vows tonight at SSA. Janice was a former colleague at Globe Telecom (who's resigned na rin) and I'm just frantic to witness this wedding as I've recommended most of my suppliers to her. We share the same photographer, coordinator and musicians. hehe! I'm sure they'll also deliver well, just like they did on my wedding.

Best wishes and Congrats! See yah later!
