Dinner at Tita Annie's House

Last October 5, Sunday we had a despedida of sorts at Tita Annie's place in Loyola.

Fitting My Barong

So I finally decided to go with the tailor in Kamuning. I saw my dad and my brother's barong and it was very well made and it fit really well on them, so I figured that this was the way to go. I had my fitting today and in approximately one week, the Barong together with my pants and undershirt will be done.

Developments to the Barong

I had set my mind to having my Barong Tagalog done by Kingsmen Tailors. But recently my dad went to Kamuning to buy fabric for himself and my brother (the best man). There they met a tailor who introduced himself as a former master tailor for RM Manlapat. He showed them some of his works and shoved in a couple of big names as part of his clientele list, among whom were a couple of high profile celebrities. In any case my dad decided to give him a try and turned over his fabrics to the tailor. Now we are waiting for the results, and if the results are anything like what he showed them, I guess there wouldn't be much reason for me to have it done for a much more expensive price tag. But for now we await the results.

The Black, the Blue and the Gold

Smoke, bubbles, party poppers, confetti guns and even fireworks are all pretty common gimmicks in weddings nowadays. During our trip to the Wavestation office, Mr. Booh Silloco showed us a great little device, well its just a bubble machine but with a big difference. It blows bubbles that glow in the dark. So the device is pretty ordinary but there's nothing ordinary about the bubble making solution. There are two different solutions that emit blue and gold colors when exposed to black light. Being the good host that he is, Mr. Silloco made a little demonstration of his gimmick. Sure enough when lit up with black light the colors came to life, making cool neon like colors. The problem is that everything that's white also glows in a weird color as most of us already know when we stand close to a mosquito electricution thingy equipped with a black light. But the thrill of having a CSI feel is just so unique and pretty awesome, but at the same time wearing white or whitish colors will make for a freaky almost gothish look for everybody. The solution is a giant follow spot, well just on the both of us though, so at least we will not be affected by the colors but the entire backdrop will be bathed in black light. A little bit expensive as an add on but I would think that the uniqueness of it all will be well worth it.
