Dino and Macy Song

My brother-in-law, Matt composed a song a day or two before the wedding over breakfast that he sang during the reception. He composed the song with the help of Michael, one the bestman. Original plan was he sings the english part and Michael sings the tagalog part but since Michael was busy with his own surprise for us during the reception, Matt ended up singing both the english and tagalog parts of the song. This turned out to be better since he was so funny as he was singing the tagalog part.

His song number was super funny and everyone was so amused on how well he did with the tagalog parts.

Let me share the lyrics of the Dino and Macy Song.

Chorus:

Dino and Macy are from different worlds they say
But love has made into one the world here today
Kahit Magkai-ibang mundo pinang galingan nila,
Ngayon ang pag-ibig ay pinag-isa sila

1)
Dino is Visaya from the island of Cebu
Macy speaks Tagalog, just like most of you
When they went out on a picnic----
And some ants just walked on by
Macy shouted “Langam” and Dino looked into the sky
You see “Langam” is bird to LD
And in Tagalog it means “ants”
And this should cause no problem for their blossoming romance.
But if perfect understanding should ever be their wish
They could skip their dialects and just talk in English!

2)
LD, Ildefonso, and Dino are his names
MC, Macy and Maria Carmela all mean just the same
If they say “honey”, “baby”, “schnookums” or other nicknames too
It will take their entire marriage to use the names they have to choose.

3)
LD drives a Honda and he drives it really fast
Macy’s stuck in traffic there at Edsa and Ortigas.
Ildefonso drives so fast you think he might be crashin’
But Macy’s gone so slow, so long
LD’s speed is her attraction

4)
LD’s in the U.S while MC’s in PI
And while waiting for their wedding many lonely months went by.
But don’t think such distance interrupted their sweet bliss
‘Cuz Facebook just invented the world wide webcam kiss!

We went to a lot of possible reception venues but sa lahat ng nakita ko, Blue Leaf talaga pinaka gusto ko. When i learned of rates ng Blue Leaf, I thought it was too expensive considering venue lang talaga sya. I went to check out North Forbes Park...nagustuhan ko din sya but my problem was on who would sponsor us. I considered other clubhouses but i thought i would also have to hire a event stylist so baka my expenses would actually sum up to be the same if we go for BlueLeaf. When Dino gave me the go signal to book Blue Leaf, super happy talaga ako. We also considered having our reception at Dusit or Crowne since we thought the expenses might actually be the same but i was medyo worried about the food. Minsan kasi pag functions na, the food does not turn out to be that good.

I never had a problem dealing with Eia. Since my wedding was on a weekday, they also gave me a discount. I had to pay for the LCD technician, i don't know ano naging role nya for the day but just the same I didn't want to take the chance of not hiring one. My only disappointment talaga was the electricity. I considered just taping sa breaker nila since wala naman kami kasabay na event but i didn't want to take the risk either so i just got a genset (from sensitivity). Parking was not a problem for our guests din since we were the only event that night.

We got our security deposit 2 days after the wedding. I just called the office to check if everything was okay and if had incurred any additional charges. They said wala naman and that we could pick up the check we left as security deposit. Since we were to leave for cebu na, my dad just got it after dropping as off at the airport.

Things to consider: If not for the hassle with the electricity, I would have rated them a 10. That's really my only issue with them because it was something that was never mentioned when I was inquiring or even when I was reserving. I only knew of it after talking to MeAnne of Sensitivity and reading posts at w@w.
