Autumn in December
After the cold bitterness of winter
Hardships followed during the rough heat of summer
Still we struggled to let our love grow
Now the time has come for us
To harvest what we have cared and longed for
And though winter will come again
We know we will never be alone
For in the cold nights that will soon follow
Our love will keep us warm and aglow.

Mr. & Mrs. Pineda
It's been almost a month now since Enrique and I tied the knot, and so far our married life is a blast!
I took the role as a certified housewife for almost three weeks, and I have never felt so happy, especially whenever I cook for my husband. In other chores... well... he gladly took the responsibilities. Hahaha!
Honeymoon Story
On the day of our wedding, a super typhoon hit Boracay, and our AE from Nami called us to inform us that they cannot accommodate us on our booked dates because the resort was badly hit. We really got worried as Enrique and I looked forward to our honeymoon. Our agent however assured us that they are doing their best to come up with a solution. And so after two days, we got a call from Nami again confirming our rebooking. Yipee!
When we were there however, the resort was running under generator, and it will not be opened until 6 pm. Our upgraded room wasn't available as well. We were still cool about it and enjoyed our day. The next day however, there was still no electricity (no elevator!) and worse, water supply was down (Our private nami will fetch water for us!). We got really frustrated and so we asked if we can just transfer to another resort. I told them they shouldn't have rebooked us at that time if they knew they wouldn't be able to provide full services (of which they are known for). We were surprised when Nami offered to give our stay for free, and also complimentary 3 days 2 nights stay valid for 1 year. Woopeeeee! Free honeymoon! Hahaha. But of course, we said no. I mean, what good is a free stay if there's no electricity and water??? The AE however called the resort where we were supposed to transfer, and told us that they too didn't have water. So finally we agreed to just stay. Nami, anyway, is the best resort (very serene and private... love the sun deck!) and the food is just fantastic. That night we ordered a bottle of champagne and ate to our heart's content. When we were about to finish, a nami gave us a letter regarding our free stay (food excluded of course) and the gift certificate, and also informed us that water and electricity are back to normal. Talk about being blessed!
Overall, our honeymoon was really a wonderful experience for us. Lots of food, relaxation, sleep, and... Beep beep. Hehehehe.
