The Aguirre 60th Wedding Anniversary
After six decades of marital bliss, Lolo Pepe and Lola Ining have yet again reached another landmark in their lives! And celebrating their sixty years of marriage just had to be as bongga as possible! Last Sunday, the 21st of May also marked the grand opening of the SM Mall of Asia (the third largest mall in the world!), where the family celebratory dinner was held. We had to weave through the sea of cars until we finally found a parking spot (I was riding with Tita Alda and family), close to the Olympic-sized skating rink.
Just behind the Imax theatre, in the Entertainment Center, was Gram's Diner, where the Aguirres and Magsarilis dined and celebrated this milestone in Lolo Pepe and Lola Ining's lives. The owner, a very pleasant lady who kept us company, knows Lola Ining from church. We sought solace in this place's "good comfort food" and homey atmosphere.
The food just kept coming and coming, one course after another. We had an assortment of dumplings for our appetizers, a tomato-based soup with beans, a side salad, and a choice between grilled chicken or fish for the main course. To close the deal, we had creamy, yummy milkshakes for dessert. Yum! Here's Majo enjoying her Banana-Vanilla shake,
The happy couple (smile naman dyan Lolo!) was pleased with the turn out and made it top priority that their guests had their fill of Gram's comfort food.
Lolo Pepe and Lola Ining's children and grandchildren were ever present to grace the occasion. Milkshakes for everyone! See how Ginger has grown! We all love her sleepy eyes (o baka naman sleepy lang talaga siya...)
Syempre when we say "Aguirre", we also mean Lolo Ric's family (complete parati!) and the Roxases. Take note of the color-coordinated Christine, Tito Ron, and Bettina!
At kapag sinabi mong Aguirre, andyan din ang Tanquiluts! Talagang Grams was bursting at the seams with all of us in attendance (hindi pa nga complete yan!).
I just couldn't resist to take this picture... and Christine just couldn't refuse to pose! She's our official bet to America's Next Top Model! Fashionista and mommy extraordinaire! Christine is also a fellow American Idol fan. And we're both rooting for Taylor Hicks. Yssa is rooting for Katharine McPhee.
We all waited with bated breath for the 10pm fireworks show. I wish I could've taken a better picture. The show was spectacular and well worth the wait. Nagulat kaming lahat sa unang paputok kasi sudden at walang warning. Remember sa Enchanted may announcement? Hehe! It was such a nice way to end the evening.
Congratulations to Lolo Pepe and Lola Ining!
P.S.
To the Tanquiluts in the US... you guys should definitely see Mall of Asia when you return. Who would've believed that the 3rd largest mall in the world is located in a third world country? :) How ironic. It's such a huge huge huge mall! The motherload of all SMs!
