The vibrant sunshine and beaming blue skies complemented the festive pomander 
centerpieces, colorful lanterns, and merry balloon arrangements. 



It was truly a perfect setting to be jubilant and celebrate the many blessings.


The garden themed celebration was a perfect match to the cheerful Sunday weather.

Apart from the Lechon [Roasted Pig], these fun little victory cupcakes became the center of attention!


Yummy chocolate cupcakes topped with meringue and sprinkles crowned
with citrus-y garden themed owl toppers just made the party more perfect.


Of course, the delicious cupcakes, sweets and yummy-o food was of
by my Mama & Papa's food catering services. Not to mention superb cakes
and fruit salad from Lola Lou. Mouthwatering sight to behold! 

Most of the guests for the party were relatives - I have a big and loving family from both sides of the family. Not to mention my extended family, and extension of the extended family and so on.
Here are SOME of the pictures of my beloved family peeps and guests!

Choosing the RIGHT Architecture Review Center

I just recently passed the Architecture Licensure Examination held last 25th and 27th of January 2013. Being one of the placers in the exam was one of the best and most humbling highlight in that experience. So, as expected, many of my friends who are about the take the review are asking me which Architecture Review Center is the best. Of course, there is no one valid answer to this question - the answer will always be subjective. If you would ask me what I would recommend, I would of course recommend the review centers I enrolled to since their review approaches were effective for me. If you want to know what REVIEW CENTER IS THE BEST, well you won't find the answer here. LOL. I'm just basically blogging about my architecture review experience. The most basic question here is how did I choose the review centers I attended to in the first place? Ans. BY RECOMMENDATION Before enrolling to any review center, I had to research a lot. [Yes, I can be O.C. like that.]

The Kulay-full Davao Tagalog

According to my good old friend Wiki, there are roughly 125 to  175 dialects in the Philippines depending on the category or classification. Quite a lot for such a smalll country, right? Perhaps this can be attributed to our country’s archipelagic nature.

From the first few words I uttered to the most complicated sentences that I was able to muster, the Davao Tagalog has always been a part of me. But before anything else, what exactly is the Davao Tagalog? I’m no linguist expert of sorts, but I will try to define the Davao Tagalog based on my personal experience of the dialect. DEFINING DAVAO TAGALOG The Davao Tagalog is an amalgamation of Tagalog (Luzon: Northern Island and capital of the Philippines) and Bisaya (Visayas: Central Islan

Architecture Licensure Examination Philippines: References & What-nots

Hello ladies & gents! Today I will once again be talking about architecture.  But this blog's particular topic revolves around an architectural milestone that architecture students keep at the back of their heads pretending its still doesn't concern them because at the moment they are dealing with things of greater weight - plates and thesis.  An architectural milestone that gives the chills and jitters to the architecture graduates because this a point in time filled with career defining decision making moments.  Also, this milestone to when now registered and licensed architects look back to breathes out a sigh of relief knowing that it is finally over. Yes, the ALE or the Architecture Licensure Examination. The ALE is like a barrier, a wall that you must climb over and you must land on the other side with both feet. Thank goodness, I am now other side of the wall unscathed, or so I'd like to believe. It is my obligation as an architect to men
