Busico-Tobias Nuptial
September 18, 2010 – marks the wedding day of my college friend, Eugene Busico and Jasmine Tobias, his high school love. They were dating for almost six long years, there were break ups but they were able to make it up to the altar. They first planned to be married on September 19 since it is their anniversary but the church wouldn’t let them so they decided to have it a day before the 19th.
The bride – this was taken before the ceremony, she was waiting for the ceremony to start.
The Groom - waiting for the bride. Eugene is with his mom and I was guessing, his uncle. They lost their father when he was in second year college.
Jasmine is with her mom and her brother. Her father is in abroad, he is an OFW and was not able to witness the wedding day of his daughter.
James and I were part of the entourage on their wedding ceremony; we were part of the secondary sponsors assigned for the veil. I was kinda hesitant to join because I was not informed about the dress code but since I was already there, I then marched on the isle and put the veil on the bride’s head. I was not aware what that means but I did some research why it needed to put a veil and a chord on them.
As what I have researched, the veil, according to Spanish Catholic custom, is placed over the bride's head and around the groom's shoulders as a symbolic gesture of his protection of his wife. The cord is tied in a figure eight. According to old Spanish Catholic custom, it symbolically binds the couple together.
In this photo, the groom is taking the bride by kissing her parents, apparently, only the bride’s mom.
The groom is putting the ring on the bride’s finger while saying his vows.
With the veil and chord attached to them.
Their first kiss as husband and wife. (apologize for the camera man at the back)
Mr. and Mrs. Busico.
After the ceremony, as a part of a culture, they need to go to the bride’s residence.
Our college barkadas, Jufni, Tiffany, Maria Tonette, Evariz and Nestor also were there to witness the wedding, unfortunately, they were late so they had only witnessed the later part, anyway, it is better to be late than not to be there. After the ceremony, we went to the bride’s residence. We didn’t imagine that Jasmine’s residence was far and rocky and it was at the top of the hill. But even though it was like it, we just think it was part of the adventure.

Making fun, this was the first part of the adventure towards the bride’s residence.
The bride’s maid also came along with the newlyweds.
We were going up and down. A grassy path way towards the bride’s residence.
This is the most thrilling part of the adventure, the slope was like 45degrees and it was 3:00 o’clock in the afternoon.
Sa Kamaisan, in the corn fields. This is another adventure going up to the hill full of corns.
This was the scenery when we reached the top. Woaah! It was a rewarding feeling to see the sea view and the beauty of nature.
Lunch was served at the bride’s residence. There was lechon and a lots of food. We ate there and went down after.
Another round at the groom’s residence, in the photo is Tiffany, Jufni and Tonette.
Nestor and Evariz sipping her bottle of pepsi after eating her meal.
James and I had our own bottles of beer as well.
It was already dark when the throwing of bouquet started. No one caught the bouquet the first time the bride threw it, the second time around; still no one dared to catch it but I then picked it up.
We went home at almost seven in the evening; we wished the newlyweds a lasting love and many babies.
Bohol Homecoming and Manong Jun's Wedding
"I'm coming home, to the place where I belong" - I
was having this LSS or last song syndrome last Friday, August 20, 2010 because
I was really going home to Bohol after three months. James and I rode on the 9
pm JnN ferry trip to Bohol. Before we went home, we just had a great pizza and
hamburger time with my colleagues credits to Daryl Gapor for the food, it was
his pre-birthday celebration. Click here to read the whole article.
JnN ferry arrived in Ubay Port at exactly 2:00am; it was a
five hour trip actually. We get off the ferry at 2:30am and we rode a tricycle
to the terminal, from the terminal, we rode the Saint Jude Bus to my home town,
Guindulman arriving at 4:00am. Papa and mama fetched us from the point where we
got off the bus.

| A photo I took inside the JnN ferry Class A. There are five classes, respectively: Class A= Php 250, Class B and C = Php 230, Business Class = Php 280 and Tourist Class = Php 290. |
 |
| In here is James, he was making a funface, we are at the upper deck. We did not sleep right away until the engine started. We arrived at the port 30 minutes earlier than before. |
We took a few hours of sleep then and we took some ride on
our Honda 125 motorcycle and looked at some places. I showed James the Basdio
Beach, a few kilometers away from our place. We took the other path going to
the sea shore, I shared to him that the place was already featured in Rated K
because of the old wood coffins used by our ancestors before.
Here are some of
our photos going to the shore.
 |
| This part here where I was squatting is the initial path, or shall I say the gate part. It seemed that one can't see the path anymore because it sloped to the next path. |
 | ||
| James making his bang pose at the middle part of the path, it was kinda scary though. But we managed to get through. The place was full of trees and rocks all over. |
 |
| This is the last part of the path, it was like an abandoned place, the fallen leaves were all over the place and the road has grown weeds on it so it seemed that no one has stepped on it for a long time. |
 | |
| We reached the shore part then after a few walks, the place was nice but this picture was taken using my Palm Centro which doesn't give very good results. :(
FYI the end part is a resort bought by
a German citizen. There are many foreigners here who go scuba diving every day.
|
 |
He even went nearer the shore
and said there were lots of sea creatures there like blue starfishes, small school of fishes as well and a lot more.
|
 |
Notice the rock? Those have holes which are results of the
waves, due to the impact; the holes were created which are really spiny. If
you’re not careful sure thing, you’ll going to bleed with this kind of rock. In
this photo, James is about to climb to see the old wood coffins.

 |
| Going back home... He had just seen the old wood coffins and was amazed by it. Unfortunately, I was not able to take some photos of them because the cave was too dark and my phone doesn't have a built in flash on it. |
One of the reasons why we went home was because of my cousin’s wedding. Manong Junior or Jun was getting married the next day, which is August 22, 2010 with Ate Pamela at Dauis’ Church. So early morning the next day, we went to Tagbilaran, FYI, Dauis is an Island connected via bridge to Tagbilaran City. If you are familiar with Panglao, then you know Dauis as well because the island has a lot of white sand beaches and resorts in it where foreigners always visit.
The wedding started at 10:00am sharp, I met my relatives there many of them were my cousins from Alicia, Bohol and from Cebu. While the ceremony was pushing through, there were a lot of negative things that James and I had noticed, but we had just get it off of our mind and focused on the event. The ceremony has ended with the picture taking part; we went straight to Villa Alzhun for the reception. We were kinda unlucky that time because we arrived at the place late so we waited for the waiters to serve our food while others were already eating.
Some of the photos during the wedding:

They are my cousins’ sons and daughters from Alicia, they
are gown ups now. From left to right: Jo Ed, Mitchi Ruth, John Ed and Vanessa
Faye.

Baby Aiesha had her own gown during the wedding even if she
was not part of the entourage. This baby is just amazing because if there is a camera in front of her, she looks at it and most of the time, she smiles when the camera is on.
|
 |
Most of the photos here were taken at Dauis Church after the ceremony. We had our photo both like with Baby Aiesha. She was like celebrity that time. Hehehe :)
|
After the church wedding ceremony, we went to Island City
Mall to buy something for our Baby Aiesha, my older brother’s baby girl. It
seemed that my niece had great time while she was at the mall because she was
smiling and shouting all those times. She is still six months old but she has a
lot of energy, she never slept when she was there, she was looking around and
staring all those that catch her attention.
It was almost seven
when we decided to go home, papa and the rest went back to Guindulman but James and I were on our
way to Tagbilaran port to buy tickets going back to Cebu. It was our lucky day
it seemed because we didn’t need to fall in line, there were only a few ones
there when we arrived. At 10:00pm, TransAsia moved its way to Cebu and we
arrived here at 3:00am. We did not get off right away because it was still
dark; we waited until 5:30am. It was such a beautiful experience and a hectic
one but at the end of the day, we had learned many things, one is that there is
no such thing as “Perfect Wedding”.
