Ever since we got engaged, the itineraries of all the trips we booked and planned before have to be modified to accommodate the wedding preparations. Instead of the usual touring around, we are planning to have prenuptial pictorials in Hong Kong, Macau and Australia while we're there. We also plan to buy some Chinese stuff and jewelries in Hong Kong for the Chinese engagement ceremony. And this includes our upcoming trip to Manila and Clark in Angeles City in mid-February.
This trip is scheduled for my oathtaking in Manila as a professional real estate practitioner. But since we'll already be there, we decided to go back to Binondo (see previous blog). Not for the food trip, but to buy stuff for the Chinese engagement ceremony (teng hun). We've also learned that the trip falls on the same weekend as the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Clark Airfields in Angeles City, Pampanga, so we've also decided to include it as one of our many prenuptial pictorial location.
So instead of the usual trip preparation of searching for the cheapest (but modest) hotels and sites to see in the locality, we need to find a wedding photographer and also figure out where to buy the things we need. I'd expect to do more of these again in our succeeding trips until the wedding is over.
And since our trip falls on Valentine's Day weekend, I tried searching for shows and events where we could celebrate. One I found was that of Jose Mari Chan's, one of the most romantic Filipino singers. But the concert would be in Kawit (a city in Cavite province) and not in Manila. So we decided to add Cavite in our itinerary since we haven't been there together yet.
I know it's supposed to be her saying this, but I am kinda excited for our first engagement photo shoot. Can't wait for this trip!
