2009 Veterans Day Memorial

The U.S. Veterans Day is always celebrated at the 11th hour at the 11th day of the 11th month of the Year. It is celebrated to honor those who die in battle especially during the World War I and it is the counterpart of the Araw ng Kagitingan of the Philippines which is celebrated every April 9th of each year.

We woke up at 8AM to catch up the ceremony that will be held in the American Battle Monuments Cemetery (ABMC) located in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City. After choosing which dress to wear, the two princesses chose the denim jumpers which prove to be a wrong choice given the heat that Day.

As we were coasting the Coastal Road, we realized that It was Coding Day as the charriot's (aka Toyota Revo) plate number ends at 5. Worse, we will be passing by EDSA where MMDA and corrupt policeman abound. After hiding and tailgaiting to different vehicles, we arrived at the cemetery safe and sound, whew. The attendees were at least more than 200 but there were notable persons there. The Ambassador, the Former President, the AFP Chief of Staff, the VA Regional Director and other uniformed officers of the AFP and the US Armed Forces.

After the event, we head towards MOA to eat at Guilligan's. Yumyum. Its our second time here and we say that the sisig is one of the best. Their price is also cheap. After the meal, we are all stuffed!!! Then we head to S&R, its just like Costco in the U.S. and bought some bacon. FYI, they have the best bacon in town for only P300. Their price is better than Purefoods. Here is free marketing, I guess S&R should pay for my lip-service.

We then proceeded to Baclaran. After hiding for so long to the MMDA, guess what, a lady officer flag us down in Baclaran. So I open my window and use my wit and charm, and it works, she let us go. Well, not really, I cant divulge to you how I did it but somehow it is really inappropriate hehehe. I guess I dont have a choice. Just to let the readers know, we are proud to say that the King and the Queen has never missed a novena on the entire year of 2009 and we are about to make that accomplisment a reality. 1 more month to go!
