Church : Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Shrine (Rating:****)
the ceremony has been short and was held in tagalog. pinapili ako ni father and i opted for the tagalog version so even the kids can understand. only the godparents, family and some friends are in the church. yung mga guests na may dalang kids, mostly ay pina-diretcho ko na lang sa reception para nde hassle sa mga bata. the delos reyes family were also able to arrived at the reception only.
4 stars yung rating because i love this church for some personal reason. =) i subtracted 1 star kasi biglang umalis si father after the ceremony at nde agad ako nakahirit nang request na mag-stay siya for photo op. =( therefore, kasalanan ni father yun na 1 star less rating ko, hehehe.

baby lance was sleeping during the mass. he got awakened only when the priest started to pour the holy water into his head. nalamigan siguro...hehe.
definitely, an angel in my arms

Reception : Shanghai Garden Resort (Rating:*****)
the place and the services were superb. necy is nice at laging may available person to attend to our needs. even the guests love the place, especially the kids who got to swim sa pool after the event. =)

Food : Blue Petals (Rating: ****)
my guests love the food. personally, i find their lengua something different yet yummy. first time kong nakatikim nun and i didn't even thought na yun yung dila ng baka... hehehe. services were good din naman except that in my observation, the waiters need to be more attentive in refilling drinks and attending to new guests.

Cupcakes and Choco Fountain : Sweet Affairs (Rating: ***)
the goodies were mouth-watering especially the fountain, but the 3-ounce cupcakes are still small for me. hehe. nothing is extraordinaire with the taste as well. however, Van was there to oversee yung set-up at kahit na meron pa siyang event on some other place, she was there before and after our event kaya okay na rin.

Set-up: Balloon Kingdom (Rating:**)
dito lang ako disappointed sa suppliers ko because i was not that impressed sa actual set-up ng pillars and balloon clusters vs. the one i picked based sa portfolio. even the extras that she promised ay nde na-deliver. was it because i paid the whole amount due beforehand? nway...

Photo : Marq Oliver Photography (Rating: *****)
Oliver takes one stress away! stressful ang event but knowing that someone's taking the photos was something that reduces the stress. i couldn't imagine how it'll be kung walang kumukuha ng pix tapos busyng-busy ako with the guests. a heaven-sent friend talaga itong si Olie!

Tarpaulin : Simple Touch (Rating:*****)
had a 2.5 ft. x 5 ft tarp made by Simple Touch in 168 mall. lance is really gwapito. =) namili nalang ako ng design sa portfolio nila. i chose the under the sea design, kasi mala-pool party naman yung baptism ni baby eh.
Souvenirs/lootbag/prizes/guestbook/candlewrapper : DIY by me and my sister (Rating: *****)
everything were bought in divi except the printer ink. =) we have personalized everything by printing tags na may pic ni lance and event details. tapos yung guestbook, ginawa nalang din namin ng sis ko using American Greetings software and had it ringbinded for P30! hehe. ganda!

behind this festive celebration, the baptism was kinda sad in a way. i remember, i was trying to hold back my tears while carrying my baby during the mass. i felt that marvin have been so cruel to stood up his own son's important event. somehow, the presence of his clan took some of the disappointments away. some... kasi up to this time, it saddens me that his family and mine weren't formally introduced. how could i? sobrang busy ako on the day! gustong-gusto ko na ngang umiyak even at the reception but doing so would all the more, spoil my son's event. pinigilan ko na lang din. sigh. ang mahalaga, kristiyano na si lance and i promise to raise him up to be a good boy. kasingbait ng mommy nya. =)
