I had no idea
On-board announcement on PR 468. “We would like to welcome the Philippine rugby team on its way to Seoul for the A5N Division 1 championships. We also wish to congratulate Justin on his recent engagement to Patrice.”
I got an aisle seat in the first row of coach—more leg room, except that the guy next to me is fat. My ass could compete with the back of a truck, but this guy is vast: one of his asses spills over the armrest and sits on my lap. I feel bad for him, but not that bad. He tossed all the pillows, blankets, headphones and other crap onto my seat and when I sat down he looked offended that someone was sitting next to him.
Fortunately the flight attendant understands my need for personal space and finds me another seat.

If that wedding is really happening, I want to be a bridesmaid. Though I suppose my own fat ass would look vastly unflattering in a dress, so barong it is.

An engagement! Gasp. When did that happen?

“We also wish to congratulate Justin on his recent engagement to Patrice.”
Wahaha! :) Show us the ring!
I love the look on Justin’s face. And Patrice looks very affectionate. Haha! btw, who proposed? :D

I don’t know! My ampon and my shopping buddy, and I had no idea.

Ejia: I think that as befits the occasion you should wear the barong with tiny shorts and knee socks.

“We also wish to congratulate Justin on his recent engagement to Patrice.”
I could totally imagine it now: Somebody hands the announcement over to the “inflight customer information specialist,” and s/he reads this over the PA in the same fake-cheery inflection that one would use to announce the inflight meal. (And we are talking about PAL, by the by; if this was Cebu Pacific, the enthusiasm would be cranked up to 11 and there would be T-shirt giveaways all around.) S/he will totally have no idea that Patrice is a dude, and will never understand why those ginormous rugby guys are giggling like a bunch of 12-year-old girls.
As the wise one once said: If you liked it, then you should’ve put a ring on it.

Hihihi, congratulations to the happy couple! :)

Congratulations, Justin and Patrice! Well, if that’s not the best-looking bromance ever!

Hindi kaya tuma-timing si Justin na magsabi sa’yo during one of your shopping dates?
It’s fun to imagine the wedding entourage. Sino kaya ang best man? Better yet, sino kaya ang ring bearer?

A tall guy like that with a face like that puckered up like that? Ayy, dios mio! Hello DPWH?

Ang kulit! Nanggigigil ako!
Kapag tikbalang ang kinakasal umuulan kahit maaraw, ano kayang kababalaghan ang mangyayari habang kinakasal ang dalawang higanteng ito?

Excellent. Though I’m going to have to work on leg presses, as I’m sure my thighs would be the least impressive there.
