The funniest wedding ever!!

Yesterday - I attended my friend Vic's wedding. It was raining so hard - if you're Chinese it means one thing - It's a LUCKY day. And I think it was - because during the ceremony - people were laughing out loud! And it was echoing all through-out the church! Even if it was supposed to be a serious ceremony - the groom has somehow managed to make everyone laugh - not once, not twice, but many times over!! You see - this friend of mine is really really funny. He has this sense of humor that can make anyone laugh - no joke! He's infectious!

Of all the weddings I've attended in my whole life - I think that this is the only wedding that made me laugh the most! The priest who presided - Fr. Johnny Go, SJ - also made sure that there was a little humor in his homily. I actually listened as he told everyone how the bride and groom met. What was odd (and nice) was that he made the bride and groom face the attendees while they were saying their vows. It think that this is such a great idea - something new and different (maybe - this is the first time I saw it happen)

Anyways - the wedding ceremony was already funny. The reception - was even more funny! Vic indeed chose the right host - he got his friend of 20 years to do it! He gave out the perfect punchline to make the guests laugh. He was really good - actually, I think he's the best one I've seen yet. He was witty and funny. What I especially loved was his speech - and how he thanked himself for a job well done. It made everyone in the ballroom laugh out loud!

I also think that the company I was with was also great, thus the reception was even more fun! My Panget and I were seated amongst friends, my Beijing friends actually - and they all were funny in their own ways.

To Vic and Trix - CONGRATULATIONS and BEST WISHES!!

    you pictured the said wedding perfectly that it brought me to the actual scene... nice one!

    i also attended the coolest wedding reception ever when I attended my officemate's in Baguio. That was only last September. The bride danced her coolest groove while the groom removes the garter from her leg.

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't think I can w

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip something up with just ing
