Manila-Downunder & The Aussie Aswang - Living The Filo Life In Australia.

There is an old saying that "Good things come to those who wait".

Now while it is a saying that usual fails to deliver, on the odd occasion it gets off it's arse parts and reveals itself in a truly spectacular way.

One of these rare occasions took place last Monday at Coogee when my dear mate Keith, after many years awaiting a GOOD thing, married someone truly great in Mjoy.

I had only met Mjoy once prior to the big event, but heard much of her from Keith prior to her arriving in Australia. The way Keith spoke, I knew he had finally found someone worthy of the wonderful person he is, while she was from Lucena (one of my favourite Philippine cities), which mean't she has to be terrific.

It was with considerable honour I was invited to the special event and the party following, to not only celebrating the wedding of a great mate, but also the welcoming of our new friend Mjoy.

I truly wish you all the very best for the future guys.

THE CEREMONY!

Having arrived a little late, I missed the start of the ceremony.

Not to mention my attracting some strange looks from those who didn't know me and were wondering why this Aussie decided to come photograph the wedding.

Interestingly - Also attending was someone from my former exhibition electrical life who also knew Keith.

Coogee was a beautiful choice of location!

THE SIGNING!

Keith managed to hide the fact he has so many maganda friends.

THE AFTER PARTY!

The G-Spot Barkada gather around the cake and celebrate Keith's big occasion.

Hmmmm another one Keith conveniently never mentioned earlier.

She was almost as tell as me :-)

Karaoke time.

Devone and a little hairy dog of some sort.

Tin Tin recieves karaoke lessons from Mjoy.

The young ones, wander aimlessly about, seemingly lost without a Nintendo or Playstation within easy reach. Rajin, in desperation, turns to the mobile for a tech fix.

CONGRATULATIONS

KEITH & MJOY
