We then met Magic, Noel's sis, at the Ayala Museum. A lovely little museum where I learned about 1000 years of Philippines history from the tribal people panning gold and making beautiful jewelry, to the Spanish colonization, and all the way up to modern political history with Cory Aquino's rise in 1986. This week they are celebrating 'The Lady in the Sunshine Yellow' and Ms.Aquino's life...it is also the 25th Anniversary of the the modern revolution and kicking out the Marco's reign, so tomorrow (Friday 2/25 is a national holiday).

The three of us then went across town to see a 400 year old church, The church of Guadalupe in Bernadino. It was really beautiful though in a seedy neighborhood so my first introduction to be scarey and hiding my wallet and camera. While we were on the church grounds we realized they were filming a movie in and out of the church. There was a famous Flip actress in a beautiful red touled wedding dress though I didn't know who she was.

Tonight we went up to Quezon City and had a lovely wedding reception with Noel's immediate family and all his cousins and such. It was a great feast of yummy Flip food, and lots of laughs meeting everyone. Everyone were real nice. If you know Noel's laugh, I found out where he got it...you should have seen and heard the whole family...hilarious! It made me very happy.
Tomorrow we are getting up at 5am to get to the airport by 6:30...for our flight to the island of Boracay. More to come...
