One remarkable thing about him is that he creates his own fashion. He chooses his own clothes and makes out of his way to have what he wants to wear, be it expensive, or be it not.

*****Matthew: As for me, you may ask how I'll remember him, what I thought of him. Unfortunately there I run out of words. Perhaps you will forgive me if I turn from my own feelings to the words of W.H. Auden. This is actually what I want to say: "Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone. Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone. Silence the pianos and with muffled drum, Bring out the coffin... let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle, moaning overhead, Scribbling on the sky the message: He is Dead. Put crepe bows 'round the necks of public doves, Let traffic policemen wear black, cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East, my West. My working week and my Sunday rest. My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song, I thought love would last forever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now, put out every one. Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun. Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood, For nothing now can ever come to any good." [Line Taken from Four Weddings and A Funeral] --------------------

He went to be with the Lord-forever, on the 30th day of April 2008.

Ecclesiastes 9 says: 10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. 11 I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.

Sleeping soundly at the sala. Caution: he doesn't want anybody to wake him up and ask him to brush his teeth.

In as how many moments we've been travelling together as a family, the kids usually turn their attention to our mobile phones to take pictures or to hear music in the car.

One lazy Sunday afternoon: David taking picture at Luke.

We may not yet fully undertand the reasons why things happen, but we just believe that God is always in Control. And with this, we can still say with the eyes of faith,

All is Well

All is Well

Luke is now together with the angels worshipping ang giving glory to the Lord Gold Almighty!

John 14:2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you

Matthew 25:23 His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!

[I felt i needed to post this, even if it's more than a month after our wedding. Well, anyway, I hope our 2 dear suppliers wouldn't mind me grabbing some pictures posted at their website.]

Ever wonder what happened during our wedding?

Take it from our wonderful suppliers' blogs:
Mike Santos (Mr. Fruity) of The Mango Farm

&

Dylan Gozum of Vatel Manila

=========================

Mr. Fruity's Blogs about the Wedding:

We met Mike one night on December 2006 when we first visited the Mango Farm. He was even surprised that we book so very early, considering that the wedding will be on April of '08.

We were surprised that the usual paparazzi Mike was missing during our Ceremony. (We can't find him anywhere in the farm). Later on, we saw him sneaking and taking pictures "behind the scenes", literally, behind the ceremony area, under the mango trees.

It was the first time that a wedding reception was held on that large part of the farm. We decided to take that site because a large number of visitors (around 300) are expected to come. The visitors didn't fail us. It went to around 280 pax or more. Kudos to the Mango Farm's spacious area and Manila Catering's sumptuous food. We had more than enough for all.

On Dylan being part of the Wedding:

Ironically, while we met Mike at a very (very) early stage of our wedding preparations, we met Dylan a week or two before the W-day. He provided the much-needed setup that fits our requirements.

We were supposed to get the "capiz" setup, but Dylan suggested that we take the new ceremony setup which he is conceptualizing (inspired by that "i forgot the name of the hollywood star" wedding). So it turned out that we were the first to use the new setup because the original couple who proposed the setup is scheduled to wed at a later part of April.

The supposed to be 3 pm wedding started at around 5 pm. Dylan was teasing me that we might have been waiting for the rain to come before we start the ceremony. Blame it on the late comers!

So when everyone is here, we're ready to "let's get it on!".
