It's a B-E-A-yuuutiful day for dreams coming true : a wedding x a concert

This is another 'Lagare' post. Remember my first post about it? I first went to my close friend's wedding at Mt. Carmel church. She assigned my to be the Psalmist, which was kind of like a big deal for me. Got there -- well... not really on time because we got lost on the way plus Le Mister's iphone wasn't that much helpful with giving us directions. But I was able to make it and do my job -- so. It was such a wonderful wedding. I wish I could have taken pretty pictures to show. Both the bride and groom were teary eyed the whole time, they listened intently to the priest's sermon which was not boring at all -- he gave insightful thoughts about marriage. Suits. The wedding lasted for about 2 hours. It was around 3PM when we had our photo op with the newly weds. I told Kyla and Eds ( both close friends) that I'm heading to Eastwood because the show starts at 4PM --- took a cab, got there around 3:30PM -- no traffic -- sweeep.

When I arrived at Eastwood, Le Mister already bought the shirt for me --- he got me a size XS --- which fit just fine! wehw! As we went inside, waiting for the band , you can really feel the crowd so anxious to see The Ataris. I thought : man, been listening to them for 10 years and I am FINALLY going to see them live! see them sing the songs I used to belt my heart out! --ok that was a little exaggerated.  My good friend Raul came over too! which made it a whole lotta fun! and we got to see familiar faces as well.  I just don't understand why some people would prefer to take tonsa pictures -- blurry ones even! rather than sing along with the band and enjoy the show! I'm like -- man., you're missing the whole point! take one picture and then do yourself a favor and enjoy the freaking show! But that's just me. Oh! and they did not play the Saddest Song --which made me kinda upset -- but well... it's all good. 

After the awesome show, we met up with Billie ( le mister's sister ). They were suppose to see the show too but got there a little late. Billie was with her bestie -- She and her other friend Kat. We went to this Mexican place called Agave -- they have this bottomless Margarita and we're GO! ordered some nachos and some other food that I can't recall. We started drinking at 6PM ,got out of the place around 9PM ,so well -- that's 3 solid hours of bottomless Margarita , Mexican food and a whole lot of chit-chats.  I always love hanging out at Eastwood. It's clean, very orderly and the crowd's quite nice. Oh...and I kissed Bumblebee -- just because. Fun night.

Lagare.

October 27,2012 --- I know. I'm so bad at keeping track but let me just share what happened on this day and I can't even believe how I managed to enjoy every minute of it!

Saturday was considered as a Friday shift --- mine was from 4:00am to 1:00pm, did my usual routine --monitoring calls, catching up with emails etc. Saturday usually isn't that busy and tiring since it's the last shift for the week. My officemates we're planning to hit karaoke, I passed because I was on to some mommy duties that afternoon.

pretty ladies at work

Ailes and Ana -- we somehow make things 'bearable' for each other.

So after work --- I head straight to Mega Mall for Cartoon Network's Heroes Hunt. My sister in law told me about the event -- she was the one who bought the head pieces for Finn and Jake. The Ninjas went as Finn and Jake, along with their pretty cousin, Destiny who dressed up as  Princess Bubblegum.

we saw Spongebob while checking out some toys at Toy Kingdom right after the event

Kuya Tx found a shoe!

First booth  

So we entered this maze and we're suppose to pass each booth to get prizes from the sponsors.

We had so much fun at the event. We met some familiar Ben 10 aliens and other kids that're dressed up as Adventure Time characters, there was even a Marceline! -- I was jealous. We weren't able to visit every booth only because some of them ran out of prizes and there were way too many kids and parents. I can really say that some parents were far more excited than their kiddos --- which was kind of cool.  Almost three hours later, the Ninjas were ready to go home.

And you think that was it. Lucky for me, I have the coolest set of in laws ever! specially my mother in law -- she knows how we love to hang out and eat and drink beer together so she treated us to an Octoberfest event at a hotel where they usually spend their weekends at. So we checked in. Had dinner. Hang out for a bit with the kiddos and watched some horror films -- Kuya TX cried a LOT ...and Trey was like just cool. I fell asleep for like 15 or 20 minutes beside kuya TX. Le husband woke me up and said that we're heading to the event. I freshened up a bit --- was too tired to put on some make up --- wore a maroon dress versus a scarf --- hair down and I was set.

And below are just some Photobooth fun --- yep! can't leave an event without it!

We finished at around 4:00am. Kuya TX woke up around 6:00am because he wanted to swim so I got up and took him and Ate Des for a quick swim at the pool. We played a little at the playground. Went back to our hotel room -- Trey and his Papa are still sleeping. We head to Koi Restaurant for their breakfast buffet. Head back to the room and chill for a bit with the rest.

Finally ... went home.
Le mister went out to skate.
Spent the rest of the Sunday afternoon on our cozy bed cuddling with my Ninjas.
What a weekend.
Right...the title? Lagare --- that was the 'word of the day' for me and that's exactly what I did that Saturday. Lagare, it's a Tagalog term as an adjective, it is synonymous to "having a hectic schedule" or "being busy". 
One should never be too busy specially if it's for their family , definitely family.
