To go with our mini-wedding we had a mini-honeymoon at the Shangri La hotel!  Was AWESOME to be pampered, raid the minibar, and watch pay-per-view.  Oh, wait, even one of the very nicest hotels in the Philippines we’re still in the Philippines so no pay-per-view.  That’s just too new-fangled for here.  But the pool was amazing and the food was great!  The aircon was FREEZING.

Of course we had Mom and the kids come over on the second day to enjoy the pool.  Scope pix below and when Youtube gets it’s shit together I’ll post the vids below the pix!

That’s right folks, I’m a married man as of 8/28/09! The wedding was not a massive event by any means, heh. We’re planning a proper ceremony in April but we both wanted one that was outdoors and the weather here in the Philippines doesn’t really allow for any certainty of sunny weather during the “rainy season”. Still my Mom was able to attend and Danny and Shey were there as our official witnesses. This went down at the Makati City Hall in a courtroom. Be sure to notice the pictures of the rice cooker in the courtroom. Classic! Also watch the vids. Pretty damn funny. I was the only one able to keep from busting out laughing. Also Danny did a hell of a job on crowd control telling off some inconsiderate assholes who walked in and started yammering at one another about where some boxes in the back needed to be moved to!

I had no idea a birthday party for a 7 year old could be so darn exhausting! This past Sunday, at the McDonald’s in Greenhills Mall Karen and I held a birthday for our youngest daughter Nicole who turned seven. Unlike the birthday parties I’m used to in the USA where parents just dropped their kids off, all the parents stayed and enjoyed the party. It was like a family reunion in that we wound up having 80 people attend! My mom, Shey, Danny, Nick, Anna, and Kat Kat (Anna’s daughter) also attended. Check out the pix and below those are video clips!

I came across some pix of my dad and other family members on his side that are OLD. Blows my mind how the pix of my dad look just like the pictures of me when I was young!

So my Mom now lives in Manila!  I’m really excited about this.  Sure it’s a lot of work but Mom is so happy and so much healthier now!  Thanks to how inexpensive it is to live here I was able to get her a condo twice as big as her house in USA, a full-time maid, and a full-time nurse/caretaker!  So first thing to do was bring her by the office to meet everyone and then get her a puppy!  Check out the pix below!
