Change of Venue

So, the family's plans to go to Subic pushed through.

We rented two rooms at RK Hotel. Which was practically all I saw of Subic the entire time.

The others were able to go on adventures and to go swimming.

I stayed in the hotel room to read a book which I discovered I read already. I also watched TV (Glee, NCIS, Criminal Minds, Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader, American Idol, etc.).

The room was cool/cold because the aircon was on the whole time.

For Saturday lunch, mom and I ate hot sour soup, yang chow rice, lechon kawali and noodles.

In the evening, I ate the leftover noodles (a little of it) and the Mom's leftover caesar salad.

For breakfast the following day, there was buffet. I ate fried rice, fried egg, hotdog, and corned beef.

We had to check out by noon. We had lunch in Marquee Mall at Tokyo Tokyo. I had ebi tempura.

Sorry, I keep talking about food because that's practically all I did.

I haven't been inside a mall for ages. Good thing they rented a wheelchair for me.

We watched some table tennis games.

My brother returned the wheelchair already though I wanted to look around some more.

I wanted to pee not knowing there was a customer lounge nearby. My sister accompanied me, paid P10 and went inside the handicapped cubicle with me. Funny, she used the toilet, too, so we flashed it only once.

And so we're back. Home sweet home!

The Prince Weds

...a commoner, and it ain't me. As everybody knows, she is the lovely Kate Middleton. She's got the looks, the grace and the guts to be Princess.

Mom and I have been tuned to the TV for hours now, watching the "Royal Wedding of the Century". And so did millions of people worldwide.

Prince William looked handsome in his red uniform. But he seemed rather tense and nervous.

Kate was stunning in her simple yet elegant gown designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen (how apt!). She looked more relaxed than the Prince.

So the couple exchange vows. The Prince says, "I will." I thought Kate would say, "I Kate".

There was one Filipina invited to the lunch reception. She took care of William and Harry when they were growing up. How kind of the couple to invite her.

The couple kissed to an eager audience. Once...then twice.

The weather was perfect to match a perfect wedding. I'm happy for them!

My friend from Cebu is here in Manila and invited me to go out with a common friend. Too bad, we're all set to go to Subic tomorrow. Mom and I have already packed our bags.

My friends and I may just see each other next week.

Hope I do get to enjoy our trip to Subic. Just being with family is fun enough.
