Zamboanga Day 2 : The Wedding

The time came so fast. 
It's my friend's wedding day already.  
I thought I just came from the sandbox the other day, but nah, 
ohhh, it's her big day.  


So after a day of preparation -
Getting our nails done, having our hair treated, fitting, and having the final adjustment of our gowns and the rest...
now, we head to beautifying ourselves for the wedding.  


When we're done, 
we left our hotel to go to the bride's pad.  
We found her being glamorized by her hair and makeup team in the living room. 
She looked so amazing. 


While waiting for her to finish and for the shoot as well, 
the family asked us to remain in her bedroom where the dazzling gown stood.  
I couldn't just stare at it, 
I felt the need to take some photos of it.   Haha!! 
*Thus practice my photography skills.  Char!* 

Zamboanga City : Roam around The City

After the wedding day, it's time to have a glimpse of the city.  Woohoo!
Zamboanga City is dubbed as the "Asia's Latin City" because the city has been greatly influenced by the Spanish colonizers back then.  
Their dialect called Chavacano sounds more like of a Spanish. 
Listening to them speak seems like you're in a different country. 
I am really entertained.  :)


Our first halt was at the Zamboanga City Hall.
It was built in the 1900's for the American Governors. 
Across it is the Rizal Park, which is their minute Luneta.  


Walking a little further led me to the signage of the official seal of the city. 


We also potted a McDonald with a touch of Hispanic influence. 










Moving on, we went to Fort Pilar Road where we spotted pigeon houses
and of course, a huge number of pigeons. 


Feeding the pigeons is one of the things that visitors can do here. 
Others may opt to run around the pigeons and take snapshots as they fly.  
I am guilty.  I did it too.  Felt like a kid.
