The Barong Tagalog
Countdown: 4 months left
I’ll spare you the history of the ‘national attire’, which you could read about here. But as pimp as I would look in a suit, there was no doubt I was going to put on a Barong for my wedding.
I’m Filipino. Cathy’s Filipino. Our wedding is Filipino. The Barong Tagalog is Filipino.

Updates
I know, I know, it’s been 6 days since our last entry. But a lot has been going on since we came back from the long weekend!

Puerto Galera + Cathy’s Family
As blogged by super-blogger extraordinaire posing as my fiance Cathy below, we had quite an eventful weekend. The highlight being our trip to Puerto Galera.

Maiga and I always have these funny life intersections and coincidentally, she picked Michi Calica as [...]

Fa-la-la-la-la…
Jay and I are deciding between the Ateneo de Manila Glee Club and the UA&P Chorale. Both of them sound pretty good (we’ve listened to their samples online, googled them and read bits and pieces about them, watched videos on their websites, looked through their photo albums…) and they seem pretty much at par with [...]

Baby Shower in Jersey!
I missed Kathie’s baby shower in New Jersey but I was sent a few pics from the day by my college girlfriends. Here’s a hilarious gift/commentary on family planning. I love how the little kid is like, “hmmmm.. interesting…”
Congrats, Kathie! You’re going to be an incredible Mom! I cannot believe that the DIVA is bringing [...]
