- Sabi ni Teena (Coordinator) moved daw ang ceremony to 5pm.<\/li>\n
- I said “Sh*t! Choke point lang naman is yung bridge sa may Nichols! Sabi ko lakad na lang kami then brave the flood! bahala na si Santino”<\/li>\n
- Went down the car amidst the massive traffic. Lakad kami Al, Rex and me from Mckinley Hill to Nichols. Basang-basa sa ulan, naka white pointed shoes, coat or in short naka formal attire.<\/li>\n
- si Rex nakabalot ng plastic. Ako nakapulot ng Tarpaulin. Si Al, naliligo sa ulan na parang street children.<\/li>\n
- Then May nadaanan kami Military Surplus shop na nagbebenta ng Military raincoat.\n
- \n
- “Ate! Mag kano Raincoat?” sabi ko<\/li>\n
- Ate: “450 pesos isa…”<\/li>\n
- Ako: “Shit! basang 300 pesos lang pala dala ko!”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Hanap ako ng ATM. Lakad ulit.<\/li>\n
- May Tumawag sakin: “Randall! Randall!”<\/li>\n
- “Uy sina Wally Gonzales at sina RJ!” bwahaha! Stuck din sa Lawton Road!\n
- \n
- “Chong, pahiram naman ng 1,000 oh, pambili ng raincoat!”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Ayos nakabili. Lakad ulit for an hour. Naka raincoat na. hehehe<\/li>\n
- Nadapa si Rex sa sidewalk.<\/li>\n
- May nagsabing batang kasalubong namin: “Dad mga sundalo ba sila?”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
3PM<\/p>\n
- \n
- Text si Teena (Coordinator) -Stuck pa rin daw sya sa EDSA. at na move ang wedding to 8pm. Tuloy na tuloy daw. Kahit mag cartwheel pa daw sya para matuloy.<\/li>\n
- Sabi ko, “ayos lupet nito!”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
4PM<\/p>\n
- \n
- After 1 hour ng paglalakad sa ulan at baha, tawid kami sa baha sa may Nichols yung may tulay… Massive!<\/li>\n
- Pagkatawid, lakad sa may SLEX ng konti habang pumapara ng sasakyan na pwedeng maawa samin. Buti may Taxi na nasuhulan ng 500 pesos na pumayag.<\/li>\n
- Sakay kami. Sobrang luwag sa SLEX at andaming tumirik na sasakyan sa tabi.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
5:30 PM<\/p>\n
- \n
- Nasa Preps na kami. Nangutang muna ako sa bride ng 500 pesos pampamasahe.<\/li>\n
- Tuwang tuwa si manong.<\/li>\n
- Tawag ako kay Chuck (Cherry Blocks) na taga Alabang.
\nsabi ko “Chong pahiram naman ng tuyong sapatos, long-sleeves at mejas oh!”<\/li>\n - Dumating si Chuck and we’re all comfy and dry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
WEDDING<\/p>\n
- \n
- Shoot kami with Sir Raymund Fortun, Jok & Chuck.<\/li>\n
- 20 relatives lang ng bride & Groom yung nandun. Wala nang iba.<\/li>\n
- Inasikaso ni Sir Raymund yung Church. Baha na kasi sa Fernbrook so wala na talagang pag-asa.<\/li>\n
- Instant lahat!\n
- \n
- Instant Best man.<\/li>\n
- Instant Ceremony.<\/li>\n
- Instant Priest.<\/li>\n
- Instant Reception.<\/li>\n
- Instant mami.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Sobrang lupit ng wedding!<\/p>\n
Sabi ng Groom: “Itutuloy natin to whatever happens. Kahit san pa kami ikasal!”<\/strong><\/p>\n
Astig!<\/p>\n
Very emotional lahat! I Admire the courage and love of Eli & KY! Grabe. Inspiring!<\/p>\n
I’ll post the other details with photos this week…may wedding pa kasi kami tomorrow. Tulog muna ako…hehehe<\/p>\n
Bottomline: Weddings are all about the couple. Not the guests who won’t be able to attend. Not the cake, the gown, the details, the photos etc.. etc…<\/p>\n
Anyway, Salamat kay RJ & Sir Wally.
\nKay Chuck!
\nKay Atty. Raymund Fortun!
\nKay Eli & KY
\nand sa pinakamalupet naming team! Al, Rex & Jap!<\/p>\nSabi ko nga, kung ang mga conflict (war) photographers nakakapag shoot kahit patayan na, anu ba naman ang baha para sa mga wedding photographers? *yabang* hehehe<\/p>\n
Salamat sa lahat!<\/p>\n
I hope naka survive ang lahat at marami tayong natutunan na leksyon sa dinulot ng bagyong ito.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
