A Visit with Her Excellency

Was on leave last Friday to visit GMA and officially ask her to be one of our ninangs. She said she'll attend the ceremony and will check her schedule if she can attend the reception. But even if she only attend the church is already more than good enough so we hope she really will show up. We'll never know until that day.

We were asked to wait in the Music Room, pretty simple yet elegant room. We were served DOLE Fruit Punch or was it Pink Guava? Anyway, nothing fancy...but I'm pretty sure it's Del Monte, used to love that juice before, haha :)

It was a quick visit, just beso beso and little chit chat. Wish I took photos of the 2nd floor, it's really nice...grand to be exact. Elegantly designed. Oh well...here's the link to the photos taken with GMA: http://www.sharleenvincent.multiply.com

After Malacanang, we went to Manila Hotel for their Merienda Buffet...uh...not good at all! Mom even saw roaches near the soup bowls :( and the food? ugh, not good at all! But I liked their Quail Egg Siomai. The rest, blah. Didn't even enjoy their dessert!! Their leche flan for halo halo looked ancient! Blech.

It's sad that they were not able to maintain the hotel. The hotel's part of the country's history already.
