And I’m a godfather again

I can’t recall when was the last time I was made a godfather to a friend/relative’s kid but as far as I know, I already have five existing godchildren. O_O So when I was told yesterday that I will be one, I have to drag myself early to go to the church for the baptismal rites.

Isn't he precious? My sixth godchild, Aleph

We came in late, considering that the venue was only about five minutes away from us. When Mon and I arrived, they have already started and I was still the first godparent to arrive! The others simultaneously arrived after us, though.

I looked slightly lost

At the reception, our high school classmates arrived one by one and we spent the whole afternoon talking about out former classmates and whatever happened to whoever we were talking about. =D The ones who already have their own kids tagged them along, and my nephew, niece and sister also arrived much later. It is admittedly seldom that I get to spend my time with my high school classmates, and I’m so glad that we get to see each other in important occasions. I just hope it gets more frequent.

What to give as a wedding present?

Tomorrow, Mon and I will be attending the wedding of one of my high school friends. I can’t remember when was the last meeting I have attended, but I surely won’t forget that I failed to bring a present on that one. So we then decided to just visit SM Makati and look at what they have in the department store. After all they are SM — they got it all for us! I first saw a very nice looking wall clock, with cutlery details. But it turned out, Mon was already eyeing the coffee makers at the other end. We ended up buying one because it serves more purpose than a wall clock.

What I love about SM is that they have FREE gift wrapping!

Honestly, I still don’t know what to wear tomorrow. I don’t want to dress up in white because I foresee a possible duplication/approximation of what the waiting staff will be wearing. =D I’ll juts pore over my things and see what I can come up with. We’ll be meeting up with my high school classmates and go to the church together! This will be very exciting to see us all made up!
