My sister, Ivy and Noreen told me that they will shoulder the invites expenses as their wedding gift to us. Ain’t that sweet?

We will go home on the 20th. I will be with Morning’s family. Mamamanhikan na sila. *blush* Just the mere thought that they will be asking my parents to give my hand in marriage leaves me giddy with so much happiness. I hope everyone will have a great time.

Last Monday, we went to Zong. This is Morning’s treat to her younger sister Vivz who at that time will be migrating to US. We know that we will not see each other for a long time and we we’re quite sad because they will not be able to attend our wedding. However, this has been planned a long time ago and we rejoice with them for it pushed through. We hope that they will have a great life at their new home and we also hope that they will have kids soon. hehehe.

The dinner was fun for we all loved the chinese food we ordered. Everyone agrees that Zong is really a value for your money. Great food (no msg), nice ambience, and affordable price.
