Lance's baptism was held last Saturday at Our Lady of the Abandoned and the reception followed at Kapitan Moy. It was already long overdue as he was almost 2 months old. I arrived in Manila just the day before. And as usual, everything was already taken care of by Toni, from all the paperwork for the baptism to the reception, down to the cake and balloons. Thanks honey!
The baptism started promptly at 11am. He was asleep when it started. He just woke up when the priest poured water on his forehead. The venue of the reception was just right next to the church. Tatawid ka lang ng kalsada which was convenient for us and our guests. Thankfully, some guests that didnt make it to the ceremony were able to arrive at the reception as most of our guests werent very familiar with the area. Only about half of the tables were occupied when we started but soon enough, the whole place was brimming with guests. Toni and I were both busy making rounds at naka isang plato lang kami ng pagkain! It was nice to see old friends again because we only see each other during occasions like these. There were also a lot of kids there. Some of them were running and playing around while the others mga karga pa rin ng mga mommy. It just feels so great to think that soon, Lance would also be running around and playing with other kids as well.
