Today, we attended Ronnie's wedding. We have been calling Annis, Ah Soo (sister-in-law), since we knew this couple. And finally after knowing this guy for 14 years, we can really (officially) call her, Ah Soo.
The wedding is simple and sweet. There was no professional cameraman demanding special posture. Everything went so well. And the reception is in Fat Angelo's TST. I am glad that it went well as well for not losing any face of mine.
Fred and I had a special gift for this couple. It's a Mac Mini and iSight. To be honest, I've never thought of getting something like this as a wedding present. Fred told me that his brother is leaving to Canada soon. And after that, they won't see each other for quite a while. It'd be really nice to be able to see each other easily. And Fred's "gadget" solution is Mac Mini + iSight. Then Ronnie's brother can bring it back to Canada and they can see each other more often. We both agreed that there is no better gift than this. Therefore I immeidately executed the plan. And technically, we are not violating Ronnie's request for not giving him any gift. It is not really for him. It's for his family.
When I gave him the present, this silly guy brust into tears. I told him that this is not for him. This is for his brother. And they can see each other often. It's for the family. I am so glad that he likes it. I believe his family likes it as well. Just like the Master Credit Card promotion, the Mac and iSight costs us $5K, But the happiness behind is "priceless". :)

Life Goes On
Just come back from grandma's funeral. It was sadder than I thought. Tears were all over my face as they closed the coffin.
They told me that grandma was fighting to the last minute. She is such a wonderful woman. She gave birth to my father when she was only 16. The more I learn about her, the more I miss her. And the more I learn, the more I understand why she insists on my having my own child.
During the funeral, I think it's so unfair being the youngest in the family. It's so sad to say goodbye. And I don't want to be the last one.
On the last day in Philippines, I went to my niece's dancing performance in school. When I saw her coming out onto the stage, tears again ran out from my eyes. Sue said I am silly. I think it's really amazing to see how life continues in generations. Because of grandma, we get to live in this world. Althought sometimes I am not too happy with my lives, when I think about the good times, I have nothing to complain about. And then people goes back to school, to work, to be happy, to be sad. And life goes on.
