Mar Roxas tweets about honeymoon
Short of letting everyone share the matrimonial bed, vice presidential candidate Sen. Manuel "Mar" Roxas II “tweeted” details of his ongoing honeymoon in the Land of the Rising Sun.
This wasn’t the first time Roxas shared info to fans and followers via Twitter as he also tweeted details of preparations for his wedding to broadcaster Korina Sanchez.
The Roxas couple flew to Japan a few days after their much-ballyhoed wedding ceremonies held at the Sto. Domingo Church in Quezon City, Tuesday, Oct. 27.
Roxas's tweets started from when they were still at the airport.
"Excited to check-in airport as Mr. and Mrs..," Roxas wrote in a tweet around 1:30 p.m. (Manila time) on Oct. 29. "Reminder: have to update paperwork, travel docs to reflect new status."
Inside the Japan-bound plane an hour later, Roxas tweeted: "Onboard now. Japanese efficiency and attention to detail always amazes me... to the max! The secret to industrial might."
He was quick to update fans at around 8:30 p.m. (Japan time), when the plane touched down at the Tokyo Narita International Airport.
"Just landed…on time. Crew surprised K and me with a small cake.Very sweet gesture. Off to customs and immigration," Roxas tweeted.
Roxas noted the seemingly all too stringent measures that Japan is taking against the [A]H1N1 virus.
"Everyone [was] wearing masks [because they were] extra careful with [A]H1N1."
The senator added: "Grabe nangati lalamunan ko while in front of customs guy. Swallow ako ng swallow para di maubo, haha. Lahat dito militante laban sa [A]H1N1.
Some two hours later, the Senator tweeted again. "Made it to city. Decided to eat before going to hotel. Hakata ipudo ramen house in Ebisu area," he said.
Roxas continued to describe Ebisu as a "small neighborhood place" with 30-capacity counter-and-stool seating.
"Jazz playing and traditional Japanese food (sic) of ramen and gyoza... Sarap. Saya. Mura pa... Ahhh this is the life!" he said, around an hour later.
The Senator's last tweet was around 11 p.m., Japan time, seemingly from inside the hotel room.
"Finally after nearly [10 hours] door to door, were in the hotel, bellboy had left. We can now explore all the buttons, gadgets & movies in room."
And with that, Sen. Roxas signed off.
