my complicated life

started the day by going to church in Simbayanan ni Maria Parish, my high school alma mater's church, with nanay. sadly, the school grounds as well as the church were a bit old and worn now. maintenance has been poor and building design has been destroyed due to the alterations made in order to accommodate more enrollees. =(

after that, we went somewhere in Tipas, Pasig to visit my mother's friends. as usual, my nanay had a long chat with the folks which i have grown to like as well with each passing minute. they were very friendly and hospitable.

about 3 pm, we headed off to Bagumbayan, Taguig. this time, to visit my friend Flor and her family. when we got there, only her brother Obet was at the house. Flor and the rest of the family had gone back to their home in Laguna. sayang nga eh. however, i was able to speak to her over the phone and scheduled to see each other some other time.

anyway, from Flor's house, me and nanay walked a few meters to where Villa Juanita was. it was the same reception where Rap-rap and Eva had their wedding. i was able to get their fees and came to like the place more than when i first saw it, as they were now able to combine a garden setting and a paved hall. good for rainy season affair. =) however, hall of the second floor was a turned-off since there was no solid walls around and all one can see were the house roofs from all sides. in addition, the stairs going to this part of the reception venue was tailored fit for a healthy citizen. it's too steep and narrow. despite the negative observations i have, i still find it as advantageous to us since rent is affordable and catering services can be availed of for a separate fee. it will now be on the list of my choices for a reception venue, if things turn out as planned.
