Bea De Leon

By | Sports, Tributes | 7 Comments

Volleyball is becoming popular nowadays!  When I was in the States last year, my friend Triccie told me that her daughter was into volleyball.  Then here in Manila, my friend Det’s daughter is also a Volleyball player.  And this young and pretty and tall lady, Bea De Leon is making waves already in UAAP volleyball!

Bea is the daughter of my friend, Det!  I am claiming fame as early as now that I know the Mom of Bea De Leon!! 🙂  Det is a proud Mama and she told me that Bea has a following already.  She has fans sending her messages and fan mail and also sending her gifts to show their love for her 🙂 Look how tall Bea is!! I like this photo because it shows how gigantic Bea is!  Det is already tall and Bea is much taller than Mom! 🙂

dandtlove20 Reception

By | Celebrations | No Comments

I was not able to stay for the reception but went over to take a peek and then got photos from Tessa.  I am sure it was a lot of fun and a lot of merry making 🙂  Being with Tessa is always being in a different world and a different adventure.  Not one is alike and it’s so nice she always shares them with her loved ones.  

At the end of it all, Dennis and Tessa gave everything to charity.  What a beautiful gesture!  Again, Congratulations and many more years of love to Dennis and Tessa.  It’s obvious that God has showered you with so many blessings and it’s worth celebrating that

By | Celebrations | No Comments

  Twenty years ago, I heard about Tessa’s wedding since the whole country was talking about it.  Twenty years after, they celebrate and relive that day and what a beautiful celebration.  It is truly a blessing to celebrate such a milestone.  Thank you for making me a part of your special day.  I appreciate Tessa for always remembering me.  Congratulations Dennis and Tessa!!  

(Please bear with my church photos, the entourage were walking so fast 🙂  it was hard to take a photo so quicky before they passed me )
