As I mentioned in my previous post, I went to UK last February. And that the main purpose was to attend my cousin’s wedding, so yeah, here it goes! 

Part 1: THE WEDDING

It was really freezing that day! Considering we've had several sunny days before the BIG day, everyone was wishing for a bright day, which was not granted to us! We woke up with cloudy skies and a bit of rain shower, but it was nothing compared to the happiness people were sharing in  the flat. As Yumi said, Rob’s sister-in-law, rain on your wedding day means good luck, so no one allowed the weather to get into them (haha even if we have to wear dresses outside, hahah NO WORRIES, we’ve got it)

The wedding was really simple, but it’s nothing simple if you have the presence of your most loved ones. It was a huge gathering, to witness the start of Rob and Angel’s marriage! 

We were all surprised by people who just passed by the church, and stayed in the church for a while to share the moment. And it was really....I can’t really find the words. But it’s like the happiest moment for a sister, and I was just really really happy for her, and thankful that she found her ONE and ONLY. Ninang (Angelique’s mother) was crying the whole time! She just couldn’t stop! Well, that’s understandable if you’re seeing your one and only child/daughter get married! Haha

I love our mint bridesmaid dresses! THE MINT-ies

Went back to my fave place in the world last February to attend my cousin’s wedding! (Though there were some uhm...delays...I made it!)

 Congratulations again to R&A, everyone’s expecting the little footsteps, but yeah, I’ll wait for it hahahahah! Xxxxx

Though the touring did not start until after the wedding, we were all excited to go around London. I can definitely say that there’s nothing wrong with going to the same place twice, cause every time you go to the place, it seems different.  Well, it was. Sometimes things seemed to be more huge than what I think they would be, and some looked different than what I remembered they would be. 

And also, there are a lot more to see! New brilliant things I wasn't able to visit the first time I went there.

The first day of sightseeing was dedicated  to the iconic places in London - the London Eye, the Buckingham Palace, the Tower Palace and the Tower Bridge, etc.. I still can’t express the feeling of looking at these places in person, not in pictures, it feels so dramatic (or it’s just me), but more than just goosebumps, it’s something I've never felt before, even when I saw it for the first time.

We had a quick lunch at Pret-A-Manger, and their coffee was really good! (I don’t really have to mention that here, but their coffee was delicious!)

I don’t know why, but it seemed like every corner, every street were photo-worthy, I don’t even need to edit or find angles to take good pictures!!! Can I just live here? (Maybe in 15 years I could! #fingerscrossed #workhard)

More posts to come about my London trip for these are only from the first touring day! 

Kisses and Hugs

Throwback thursday.

Just a year ago.... I had this awesome experience with this amazing bunch as we organized this biggest event in college. Although it was hard to balance our academics with this one, it was really fun working with these people. I kinda miss those who-knew-it-would-end-at-nine meetings every Wednesdays, and our props making at the CSO! hahahha! I really miss watching the heirs with these guys and we also watched running man together. 

Awww those days.....
