This photo pretty much summarizes Ryan and Mia’s wedding: a touch of elegance with a sprig of rock and roll. I mean, where else can you find a bride in a borloloy-ridden Veluz gown wearing red Chucks and dancing to The Jerks at the wedding reception?

Of course, this monster is actually just the white frothy siopao-shaped frogs’ eggs on our Lolo’s mango tree. ‘Til this day, they remember how traumatized they were about the Flying Siopao Monster. Luckily, there were no Siopao Monster sightings then.
