Walking down the aisle is every girl’s dream. Finding “the one” is everyone’s life goal. And I’m so happy for another friend of mine who realized and materialized both just last month on her wedding day! When Benjie weds Annalyn, every detail is planned accordingly.

The Original AA BBQ
When in Cebu, have a taste of Cebuano barbecue of all kinds at The Original AA BBQ! They have the food and atmosphere of a resto yet their prices are streetwise. Sanitary is 100% guaranteed so there’s no need to worry about salmonella nor E. coli. Branches are just everywhere in the city so may […]
