A Time for Dancing

2009-04-28T20:35:00.000-07:00

I got this book last week when Mitch and I dropped by at The Powerbooks in Megamall. The book's subtitle really got my attention "What do you do if your best friend is dying?" -- it's not because my best friend is dying or whatsoever (God forbid!) it's just that i became curious on the story itself...

"The novel is beautifully crafted, true to the two central points of view in ways that allow readers to imagine how life and death at sixteen and seventeen might look different than at any other period of development. The various subplots--betrayal by boyfriends, tension with parents, younger siblings, and teachers--add complexity without diverting attention from the nuanced portrait of intimate friendship forced to a depth that couldn't have been anticipated..."

The Story:

Julie and Samantha have been best friends since they met in a dancing class at age nine. Now, at sixteen, they are closer than sisters, at home in each other's families, sharing everything, imagining their futures together.

Julie, who has been feeling unusually fatigued and experiencing hip pain, finds, after several misdiagnoses, that she has diffuse histiocytic lymphoma, a type of cancer. She begins a course of aggressive chemotherapy and with it an inner journey that gradually distances her from family, friends, and in particular Sam--in ways none of them could have predicted.

Love is stretched for all of them beyond where it has had to reach before. There are periods of silence, odd pretenses, and conversations of unprecedented intimacy as Julie, her parents, and her best friend chart their bumpy course through shock and various tactics of accommodation to final acknowledgment that Julie is dying. Julie's own accelerated growth into an enlarged consciousness of the shape of her own life and destiny, and Sam's growth into a kind of emotional and psychological independence she'd never known before are the focus of this story, each girl narrating her own side of the story in alternating chapters.

Team Angie @ Bolinao

2009-04-22T18:22:00.000-07:00

Hello and I'm back!

For a while, i failed to update my page, its because I got so many things to complete - reports, emails, updates, etc. whew!

Una ko agad naisip is i-post ung first ever team building ng team ko -- sa Bolinao!

Oh yeah! Can't get enough of Bolinao it's because i so love the place! dito ka talaga makakakita ng white beach.. well aside sa super sikat na Boracay (pagkakaiba is konti ang tao sa Bolinao and its cheaper compare kapag nagpunta ka ng Bora). Here in Bolinao you will find the ever famous Patar Beach!

April 4:

After shift, we are so excited all packed and ready to go kaso medo nabulilyaso kasi un sasakyan na ni-rent namin is late na dumating.. (call time is 11am but they arrive 4pm... ang galing! grrrr)

We decided to stay at Punta Riviera Resort -- nagandahan kasi sila sa mga pics namin nung last time na nagpunta kami dun...

Since late na kmi nakaalis sa Manila, we arrive at the resort at 10:30pm, we are all tired but we still manage to cook our dinner, good thing JR cooked adobo for us so konti na lang yun niluto namin... nga pala bago ko makalimutan -- thanks kay JR for the Adobo and to Donell for cooking the rice! :)

After dinner, some of them went outside to to check the resort while the others preferred to stay inside the room to get some rest... (that includes me...)

April 5:

I woke up 6am (courtesy of Mami Gel!), i helped them to prepare our breakfast -- then after that we decided to hit the beach... to my dissapointment it's super low tide, that is why we opt to have picture taking na lang then take a dip sa pool after...

Around 2pm we decided to leave the resort to hit Cape Bolinao Lighthouse -- medyo mataas ung lugar so makikita mo ung most part ng beach... love it!

After Bolinao Lighthouse, we went to Bolinao Falls -- medyo naligaw-ligaw pa kami cguro 1 hour din ung byahe namin from Cape Bolinao Lighthouse to Bolinao Falls -- kakalungkot because we weren't able to check the famous Falls 2 but we were able to check Falls 1 -- according to the natives Falls 2 is better compare to Falls 1 pero dahil 5pm na kami nakarating sa Falls 1 hindi na rin nakapunta ng falls 2 its hard kasi na bumyahe pa because the place is too remote... as in...

Bolinao Falls 1

Bolinao Falls 2

I'm looking forward to visit Falls 2 soon... *wink*

Thanks! :)

A friend...

2009-02-25T18:31:00.000-08:00

you're my friend and that is true,

but the gift was given from me to you.

we went thru moments that were good and bad,
even moments that were happy and sad.

you supported me when i was in tears,

we stuck together when we were in fear,

it's really sad that it had to be this way,

but it has reached its very last day.

miles away cant keep us apart,'

cause you'll always be in my heart.

Take Care girl! I'll miss you and I'll see you soon! :)

Punta Riviera Resort

2009-02-22T04:27:00.001-08:00

Punta Riviera Resort is located at Brgy. Malino Bolinao, Pangasinan. This is one of the great resorts located in the area, that is why we decided to spend our coaches team building here.

Its 4-5 hours drive from Manila pero super sulit sya because of the place... white sand, nice pool and even the crews are very friendly and accommodating... awesome! They also offer complimetary breakfast to the guests... (it's a filipino breakfast: sinangag, danggit, egg, hotdog, and coffee)

It's one of the places that i would recommend to my friends and to others who want to spend their vacation this summer! For those who are interested pls visit: http://www.puntarivieraresort.com/

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

Danger at Night...

2009-02-09T20:28:00.000-08:00

I woke up late earlier (ang lamig kasi...), so i decided to ride a taxi na lang so that i can arrive at the office early (compare if i'm going to ride a bus)...

2:30 am I arrived at monumento circle and hailed MGE cab (I feel safe kasi kapag yun yung sinasakyan ko na taxi) the driver was nice, kwentuhan pa nga kami (close noh?! hehe, nah! but admit it, some drivers are like that!)... when all of a sudden, an orange KIA pride went on our way... we were both shocked, after that we just noticed that the driver of the KIA pride is going after us, he even opened his window car and extended his hand to give the taxi driver a dirty finger... we just both utter that the driver of the car was drunk...

then along Cubao, narinig na lang namin na may tunog na nabasag... sabi na lang sa akin ni manong (taxi driver) na may tubo ung driver ng KIA and pinalo nya yung tail light sa right side ng taxi ... manong keeps on saying sorry... sabi pa nya "kapag sobrang nang-hassle na yung driver mag-signal na lang ako sa ibang taxi driver ng MGE" marami naman kasing pumapasada na MGE taxi at that time...

Thinking that it’s over, I was so shocked sa sumunod na nangyari, giniliran nya kami as in super close. Actually na-feel ko talaga na sobrang bilis na ng andar namin... but the driver of the KIA pride won't let us go... so when we reached Gate 5 (may taxi lane kasi dun and maliwanag since gasolinahan) nag-stop c manong, he open his window and the KIA driver did the same thing. Manong asked in a nice way "may problema ba tayo kuya?", but the other driver did not utter a word what he did is bumaba xa ng sasakyan nya and bumunot ng baril while approaching dun sa sinasakyan namin... that is the time I shake (because of fear) so I told manong na umalis na... good thing nakinig si manong sa akin... I even hear the screech of the tire... as in sobrang bilis na namin, when I look back I saw the driver of the KIA pride went back to his car (it's really obvious na susundan pa talaga kami...) when we reached emerald I look back again so I told manong na lumiko na... I asked him to make a right turn sa unang kanto (para at least hindi na nya kami makikita...) ilang liko din yung ginawa namin before me nakarating sa office. After I handed my fare to manong and because of my fear na rin I told him na wag muna bumiyahe. When I checked the back of the car nakita ko talaga na basag yung tail light nya...

I was still shaking when I reached my station (sa office). I still can't believe that I encountered that. I'm still thankful that nothing bad happened to me...

What an experience! This is the kind of thing I don't want to experience again!!!

... And to the driver of the KIA pride... I know Karma will find you! A**hole!

Lunch at Tender BOB's part 2

2009-02-02T19:20:00.001-08:00

I really want to watch Bradd Pitt's movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", let's say that i'm very curious about the story.

... so I asked my sister to accompany me but one thing led to another, Ate Kat told me to have our weekly gala na lang (ksi sasama daw niya si Ivan).
Ok fine. So we meet at SM North around 2PM. What's new? Just the same routine, check ng magandang stuff na pwedeng bilhin (I bought a blouse in Ba-Yo and Guess! sale kasi! Yohoo!)... After 3 hours of non-stop walking and chikahan. We decide to eat at Tender Bob's for the second time (kasi 2 lang kami ni Ate Kat ang kumain d2 before...)

We had long argument kung ano o-orderin, at sa haba-haba ng usapan sa pork chop steak kami nauwi... (hehehe. sarap kasi!)

TB's Pork Chop Steak

Syempre in between ng kain may pictures... hehehe

Ate Kat, Ivan, and Kuya Roy

with Thetta

After we eat, syempre check na naman ng good buys... We went home around 8pm happy and satisfied!!! *smile*

Kainan sa Seaside...

2009-02-02T19:18:00.000-08:00

Last Saturday, our team decided to spend the 8K at Seaside... This is also the best time to have bonding with the team since I don't have enough time as office para makipagkwentuhan sa kanilang lahat... (I am so excited! pero sayang kasi hindi nakasama lahat)

12.30pm, ding! All of us are out na -- it's time! Dampa here we go!!!

Good thing Peej and Donell offer us a ride, I am thinking to hail a cab papunta ng dampa kasi ang init -- buti na lang they offered their car (hehe! thanks guys -- sobra!)
We bought shrimps, crabs, fish, and pork -- for our main course (grabe! ang ingay dun sa may mini palengke nila!)

Jay R wants crispy pata but unfortunately i wasn't able to give what he wants kasi wlang pata dun sa mini palengke... (sorry Jay R)
I brought them at SIS Paluto (subok na kasi dun weh, sarap talaga nila magluto!) ... mga 15 minutes siguro kami naghintay sa food... nung dumating xempre, galit-galit muna... hihihi

Mwawala ba naman ang picture???!!

picture muna bago kumain...

ANG AMING FOOD... YUM-MY!!!

(we also had tempura but i failed to take a pic of it... best seller eh!)

Buttered-Garlic Shrimp

Crab in Sotanghon

Crab in Chilli Sauce

OUR KAINAN MOMENT

Grabe! busog-busog kami! c Jay-R lagi na lang akong pinapatawa kapag may event na ganito (picture will be post soon!)

after the kainan -- lahat ng malalaki tiyan sa likod! hehehe

Our tummy??! very satisfied! busog! (Burp! hihi) . After seaside, we went to J-jay's (since we still have money left...), we spent the money sa beer, tamang kwentuhan and inuman lang... We shared some good laughs... as in sobrang sumakit yung tyan ko kakatawa... Paolo is on the "Hot Seat"... -- hot seat na rin xa kasi di sya mapakali sa upuan nya.. hehehe

around 5:30pm we decided to go home na... Donell drop us along ADB ave (balik pa kasi sya office weh... Thanks Ulit!)

Super Saya -- I'm looking forward for another kainan and drinking session... with them!

PS: for Chinky, Veron, and Mannette -- girls next time sama na kayo ha?! :)

Thetta's Birthday

2009-01-22T16:02:00.000-08:00

Last Jan. 18, 2009, we celebrated Thetta's B-day... We went to MOA for a change hehehe... we also decided to bring the kids… (plan kasi na magpunta ng Star City) While on our way, my sister keeps on bugging me where to eat, Ate Kat wants to eat at Don Henrico's... but I insisted to eat at Harbor View Bistro (kaka-miss kasi weh!) and my sister agree with me! (Yehey!)
Good thing we found a good place na pagpa-parking-an (nasakto kasi maraming lumabas...)
Our call time is 10am pero xempre hindi un nasunod... We arrive at MOA around 1:00pm so we head straight to Harbor View since all of us were hungry... Sarap talaga ng food nila!

say "Cheese!!!"

Kuya Roy... ayaw nya mag-smile... :(

After we eat, we let the kids play... while ate Kat and I talked to the owner of the resto, I forgot her name, but she's very nice, according to her it’s their family’s business but she is the one who handles their branch in MOA. Bad thing we need to cut our conversation because Kuya Roy informed ate that Yuan is nowhere to be found (ay! kamote talaga!)... So we start looking for him, after 10 minutes of searching medyo kinakabahan na ako... but ate Kat told us that she already found Yuan dun sa pinakadulo! (ay sus! lagot ka galit na Thetta! hehe)

Chillax after lunch

playtime

with the birthday girl -- Thetta!

After we eat, we decided to go sa mall, and since that all of us are not into na mag-ikot.. (Maybe because we are just excited sa Star City... hehe) we decided to go na sa Star City. We are about to go back sa car when I saw Crepes and Creams... So I asked them to drop by there first (pampalamig ba..hehe) this time, ako ang taya! The bought chocolate ice cream for the kids, and crepes for the adults… Everyone loves it!

si Ate Kat -- ha!ha! sbi smile lang hindi laugh!

sarap!!! yum! yum!

say "Ahh"

After the crepes and ice cream craze, we head off to Star City... Actually the reason why we decided to go at Star City is because of the Dino Island (Yuan and Simoun are very fascinated with Dinos) I am so excited as well... excited sa magiging reaction ng mga kids.. hehe

sa entrance

Yuan was scared at first (scared kasi xa sa mga sobrang malalakas ung tunog), so Thetta decided to carry him, but when he saw the dinos na, ayun na-enjoy na nila... They're so amazed!! nakakatuwa!

Simoun, staring at his favorite dino -- the T-rex!

After we went to Dino Island, the kids want to experience ung mga rides unfortunately because of the height limit, hindi nila nasakyan lahat... (sayang because we bought the ride-all-you-can ticket pa naman...) but that's fine because na-enjoy nila ung mga pang-kids na rides (wla kasing pila.. hehe)
Around 8:30pm we decided to go home na because Yuan will go to school pa... Ate Kat and Kuya Roy decided to drop by sa haus (may dala kasi kaming kids weh and both of them are sleeping pa...) Thetta cooked Chicken with Tomatoes for dinner, sarap!
After small chit-chats ate Kat and kuya Roy decided to go home na rin (may pasok pa kasi sila the next day...) -- we said our goodbyes and we call it a day...

2009-01-06T16:22:00.000-08:00

last Sunday, we went at Trinoma to celebrate Ate Kat's Bday... Thetta and I decided to bring Yuan along with us... (that's his price because he became a good boy for the whole week! kulit kasi weh...)

Sempio Family, Si Kuya Roy shy pa magpa-picture... hihihi

si Yuan, "ang batang gala" hehe

We decided to meet at SM North at 1:00pm(kasi mas madali kapag dun.. hehehe), we cannot decide where to eat so we ended eating at the customer lounge in trinoma (ok na rin at least maraming choices... hehehe)

The foods.. Yum!

After we eat, we went to the carousel (the kids love it so much!) good thing nadala ko ung Timezone Card!

Mukhang na-enjoy din ni ate Kat yung carousel.. hehehe

Kuya Roy also surprised us with a gift, Thetta got a bag, and ISkin for me (x-mas present daw nya... hehehe. Thanks Kuya!)

Well, what else can i ask for?! Perfect Happiness!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ATE KAT!!!

Nhilo & Aiza's Wedding

November 29, 2008 , I was able to witness the very special day of my good friend, Nhilo. It's a Garden Wedding at The Oasis Garden (along Broadway Centrum). Close friends and relatives lang talaga ang invited...

The Newlywed: Si Nhilo maga ang mata kakaiyak! hihi

I arrived at the venue around 3.30pm with Jen & Mhay, the ceremony started at 4pm (grabe buti na lang madiskarte ung taxi driver nakaiwas sa traffic!).

My Barkada: (from L to R: Dhan, Jen, Mhay, Nhilo, Me, and Itoy)

The reception followed after the ceremony, two thumbs up for the caterer sarap ng food! (Hizon's Catering) but what really caught my attention is the Chocolate Fountain (bukod sa masarap, nakakaaliw pang tingnan!)

To Ice and Nhilo :

Congatulations and Best Wishes!!!

Year End Party

2008-12-28T16:55:00.000-08:00

This is it! The day has finally come... magpe-perform kami, yes you heard it right! I am included on the presentation; I performed together with my team... (Imagine for almost 4 years ko d2 ngaun ko lang talaga ginawa 'to! whew!) We start plotting our presentation a month ago, but the final plan came up 2 days before the Party (imagine that!) I'm so thankful that we already have Peejay, he has the most creative idea sa team.(galing mo talaga! I really appreciate all your efforts from the props that we will use hanggang sa magarang mga ideas! grabe! *salutes*) and also for the team, without their cooperation the performance will never become a reality...

with our creative director -- Peejay (Yeeba!)

Dec 28,2008 - Our team decided to have a final practice before kami pumunta ng venue.

The team before the performance

Oh i'm so excited! Let me just show you our performance highlights...

Paolo -- as Freddy Mercury with the Band (from L to R: Pao, Tony, Jay R, & Nick)

Nude Band! (YEAH!)

After the performance, tsaka lang kami kumain... (honestly, hindi ko na-enjoy ung food because its not warm anymore, according to them the fillet is so difficult to chew, aside from that my stomach aches after i eat the BBQ... same thing happened to the others. So i don't know if its with the food or what...)
Anyways, Mawawala ba naman ang picture?!

At the end, all the hard work were paid off -- we won the 2nd place! Yohooo! -- Team Winter took the 3rd place and Team Vic won the first place... galing!
Good job guys!

So when I head to the office, I assure myself that I will have a great time! We had a small salu-salo with the team, we bought 4 half gallons of ice cream and 4 roasted chicken from San Mig (cla lang kasi ung bukas aside from ministop and 7-Eleven.. hehehe)... oh before I forgot, Jay R also bought Leche Flan (gawa nya! sarap!)

Foodtrip with Sarah

2008-12-26T18:18:00.000-08:00

Last wednesday, Sarah and I went to Mega to look for a best gift for her "friend". She also bought cake from Red Ribbon (uwi na xa mom nya coz according to her that's her mom's fave)... since na pareho naman kami ng way, i decided to accompany her...

When we passed by at Mexicali i craved for burritos, so i told Sarah if we can eat there (i was hesitant at first because i need to go home early... duties! duties!) but since i am really craving for it so i gave in... (tawag ng tiyan, haay! hirap talagang tanggihan! hehe)

We ordered Grilled Beef Burrito with Taco & Chips... while waiting i took picture of Sarah and her brand new phone (gift from her "friend" hehehe. nice! nice!)

Nokia 7210 Supernova

Xempre when the food arrived galit-galit muna.. hehehe (fave din kasi ni Sarah 'to weh... hehe)

Grilled Beef Burrito with Taco & Chips

After we eat, we decided to go home na rin (because it's already 3pm and i need to go home early pa!) we just pick-up the cake that she ordered from Red Ribbon and then we call it a day.

Twilight Saga

2008-12-23T15:08:00.000-08:00

"YEHEY!!!" -- I already completed the Twilight Saga Books (well this is my gift for myself!)... although i'm not yet done reading the book 2 that is fine at least i already have the other books with me... (hehehe)

I'm still waiting for the "Midnight Sun"...

It was an expected companion novel to the book Twilight by author Stephenie Meyer. It would be a retelling of the events of Twilight, but written from the perspective of Edward Cullen as opposed to that of Bella Swan... I can't wait to have a copy of it!

A Gift

2008-12-21T14:27:00.000-08:00

I received my first christmas gift... and its from JR (thanks talaga! how did u know that i have plan of collecting Twilight Saga Books?!)

He gave me a copy of Eclipse (3rd book of The Twilight Saga). I am so happy to receive this (because i really love it... ) i'm so excited to finish the first two books para mabasa ko na yung 3rd book... hehehe

"JR thanks for the gift! sobrang happy me sa bigay mo!"

Tada... New look!

2008-12-19T19:16:00.000-08:00

pimp some old stuff to have a new look...

I really enjoy doing this... actually i'm thinking to have it G-Masked but good thing when i went to Divi, I saw this cute stickers for only 50 bucks/piece (actually this is the same stuff that they use to cover Laptops, CPs, and others gadgets like Ipod!). This is not an ordinary sticker because hindi xa agad-agad na peel-off... (sobrang dikit nya promise!)

I super enjoy it and i'm thinking of buying another one for my sister's shuffle and CP! so Divi here i come!! *wink*

movie time

2008-12-17T18:02:00.000-08:00

The initial plan will be Videoke Trip at Red Box in Trinoma with the team, but to make the long story short -- hindi kami natuloy. PJ suggested to have a drinking session at San Mig instead since konti n lang naman un natirang sasama (which is true coz its only Misch, Nick, Arthur, Jay, Paolo, and Tony left...)

Afterwards, Misch wants to watch movie so i decided to join her -- found out that Paolo and Veron will meet so i asked them if they want to join. Jay, Nick, and Richard also came with us. Tony, PJ, and Art did not join na kasi they have other lakad pa...

chow time @ Taco Bell

We watched Keanu Reeves' movie "The day the Earth Stood Still" , for the first time i fell asleep sa sinehan... (well i hope u get what i mean... *winks*)

Filipina Girl

2008-12-09T21:27:00.000-08:00

Gui and Bien informed me about this song early this morning sabi pa nila "Gie, listen to this song... bilis saglit lang" and then Bien gave me his headphone and boom!

Filipina Girl... nice song!

The artist is Marcus Kim Davis, He produced and wrote an entire album "Feel Good Music," for the Philippines newest star Amber. With a hit album on the market and a number on song on the radio Marcus continues to produce Amber's live show as well as hits for other artists in the Philippines.

I also listen to his single "You Left"... nice! nice!

Lunch at Tender BOB's

2008-12-09T17:27:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, Ate Kat asked me to accompany her to buy clothes for Ivan (her son and my pamangkin) , she told me Ivan will use it for their X-mas Party!

So after the shift i went to The Block (dun kasi meeting place) i didn't eat lunch at the office so i asked ate if we can eat first bago mamili, which she agree naman...

We ate at Tender Bob's, the foods are good and the prices are very reasonable! We ordered Pork Chops, Ceasar's Salad with Grilled Chicken, Mushroom Soup, and their famous BOMB. Ate Kat ordered Green Mango Shake and Iced tea for me...

TB's Ceasar's Salad with Grilled Chicken

(Highly Recommended)

TB's famous BOMB
(Oh so love their creamy garlic sauce! YUM!)

TB's Chops
(TWO thumbs up!)

I also want their Banana Split, but Ate Kat told me to stop na sabi nya next time na lang daw bec its already late and we need to buy clothes pa... (huhuhu)

.... and Oh before i forgot try their Iced Tea, panalo! ;p

Twilight

2008-11-29T19:49:00.001-08:00

I watched this movie yesterday and i was so amazed with the story, it's not the typical love story that i usually watch... It's like Romeo and Juliet -- with a different twist!

Story:

TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern-day love story between a teenage girl and a vampire. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother re-marries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met. Edward is a vampire, but he doesn't have fangs and his family is unique in that they choose not to drink human blood. Intelligent and witty, Edward sees straight into Bella's soul. Soon, they are swept up in a passionate, thrilling and unorthodox romance. To Edward, Bella is what he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy.

"You are exactly my personal brand of heroin..."

ADDITIONAL:

I watched it again, this time with Paolo, Mitch, and Richard.. since i was so bitin when i watched for the first time plus i didn't watch the first part of the movie... i decided to watch it again (sakto they informed me that they will watch it so without any hesitation i join!)

After I watch the movie for the first time, honetsly i really got hooked, good thing Bee sent me the copy of the 4 books in PDF format so i was able to read the book!

when i watched it for the second time, that's the time i saw the flaws of the movie (remember the last scene where Bella had a cast on her leg, do you notice how she walked? it seems that she doesn't have a cast at all! she walks perfectly fine... ) Now i understand why the other's says "The book is better than watching it on the big screen..." maybe because maraming "kilig" moments sa book na wala sa movie na sana isinama nila... (errr! just a thought...)

Though i see some flaws of the movie, i can still say that Robert Pattinson did very good on the movie, galing ng arte nya and the character that he portays obviously melts thousands of girls (and gays) hearts...

Silver Party

Makidok and I decided to celebrate our bday in Red Box in Trinoma (nakagawian na... Coach Anne started it.. wahehe! anyway) ...

At first, i thought i cannot join since my nephew is sick (sad na ako kasi ang tagal namin pinlano tapos in the end i cannot join...) Well good thing they texted me that the kiddo is fine so that means i'm ready to go! weeeehhh!!!

Unfortunately, i need to finish my deliverables at that time (its our last day kasi!) so medyo nag-cram ako that time... well good thing came in when Veron greet me and surprised me with a gift, she told me that its from her and Ramel (Thanks guys! u never fail to forget! mwah!)

JR also bought a Sansrival Cake from Silvana's, I was so touched coz i never expect naman anything from him... (You really surprised me man! hahaha thanks!)

This is how the cake looks like... YUM! YUM!

The cake taste so good, actually its so creamy and i love it! Coach Marie is planning to buy one but when we checked the store location its only available in P'que, Shang-ri La, ATC, Glorietta, they also have branches in California (think its in Daly City and Carson City...)

since my shift will end at 12pm (and the celeb will start at 12 as well.. lunch kasi!) We came in late (i went to Trinoma with Gerger because we have the same shift)

We arrive around 1.30pm (sad!) but i'm so happy that most of them are present (except boss Anne and Tado! kasi naman kasi!)...

The Red Box Day is another success... so much fun!

JR, Kat & Jerry, Coach Berns, Sarah, Jamill & Joy, Coach Ron, Gui, Mitch, Mccoy & Weng (guys! super thanks! you made me so H-A-P-P-Y!!!)

... I LOVE IT!

After Red Box we went to Timezone (super na-miss ko 'to... i used to go here with my gurlfriends -- Bee, Nize, and Veron... and Ram) good thing Mitch got a card coz i forgot mine... (Mccoy & Weng went to Vitoy's Baby Celeb while Jamill, and Joy went home na rin after the Red Box Thingy ...) andami tao but that's fine coz isa lang naman ang gusto ko laruin that time -- STACKER!

HAHAHA... Coach Ron became addicted on this game as well!!! hehehe -- sayang kasi laging sa huling part sya nasasablay... kung kelan major prize na (sayang talaga un coach Ron! hayaan natin may next time pa naman! db?! hehe)

After that, we decide to part ways na since some of them have shift... and since it's still early and Mitch & I don't wanna go home yet, we decide to stay pa muna at Trinoma...

I remember that i'm gonna buy cake pa pala! So we went to Conti's and bought Mango Bravo (according to them that is their best seller... it looks so yummy! and it taste good too!) ...

kudos to Conti's for this super delicious cake!

I asked the lady from Conti's if its Ok if i can pick it up later (lilibot pa kasi kami ni Mitch... to look for some good buys! hehehe) good thing that is fine with them (just make sure to present the receipt! why not?!)

After i place my order we go ahead in the mall... Mitch is planning to buy a dress for her sister so i accompany her in looking for a sexy yet conservative dress (bawal daw kasi sa church nila ang above the knee...)

While we are looking we saw Bee with his dad, May, Junjun, and Bry (hahaha Bee, i remember their name na!) ...nahiya nga me kasi super tawa pa ako nun tapos paglingon ko andun pala cla lahat! (tada!!!)

After we looked for the dress, we decide to get some coffee. So we went to Starbucks i ordered Dark Cherry Mocha Frap & Cinammon Bliss while Mitch ordered Mocha Frap...

While having coffee we share some chit-chats... we so forgot the time, namalayan na lang namin 8pm na... we just pick-up the cake then we decide to call it a day!

Chris Brown & Rihanna's Live in Taguig

2008-11-19T16:23:00.000-08:00

Whoa! at last i got the time to post this...

How will i start hmmm... the day before the concert i start texting Bee and Nize where and what time will we meet (honestly, i'm so freakin' excited! hehe) Bee and I decided to meet at Starbuck's at Trinoma... few minutes after 4pm i saw Bee and Bry na, they are having hard time looking for a parking place since it's so traffic! Few minutes after Nize texted Bee to inform that they are alredy in North, so we decided to meet her at Paramount, Nize also bought her ride... She had Wyeth and Choi with her (according kay Nize, Wyeth and Choi bought their tickets 2 days before the concert for half the price!)...

Anyways, moving forward, we head to the concert venue, it's Goddamn traffic (good thing Bry use to make patawa on our way so nalibang ako... hehehe)

I also texted JR and Anne, around 6pm guess what?! we are still on our way to the venue (F*** talaga!) JR and Anne replied and informed that they already on the venue and got a good spot na... (awwww!)

at last, around 7:00pm we arrive on the venue and since we are all hungry, we decided to eat first (para may energy sa concert!) Our first stop is at Serendra, but since all of the restaurants their are expensive we decide to eat at Gilligan's (The food is good but ang tagal nila magserve...)

Nize, Wyeth, Choi, Bryan, Bee, and Me @ Gilligan's

We finished few minutes after 8:00pm (thinking that the concert will not start agad-agad...)

Well to our disappointment, the concert starts at exactly 8pm (kamote!) I am laughing coz Wye said, "maaga nga tayo nakarating... late naman tayo sa concert."

Chris Brown was the one who perform first, unfortunately we missed his two first performance... (accdg to JR Chris Brown sing the "Wall to Wall" first...). It's hard to find a good spot because the place is already crowded.. (remember when Pope John Paul visit here... yung tipong hindi mahulugan ng karayom?! ganun!) they said that the concert have 70,000 audience all in all! (Whoa!! imagine that?!) I also read in some articles that some fans who bought the GOLD tickets were not able to enter the premises because its already overcrowded! (tsk! tsk!) But we still able to find a good place naman eventually, (yun nga lang, may mga tao talaga na nun lang yata nanood ng concert and ayaw madikitan?! nakakapang-init ng ulo!!! Tang***ng mga bisayang yan!) and then i just found out that Wye already making parinig na! (Galing mo talaga girl!) but of course, we don't wanna ruin our day so we just make "deadma" of those people and start enjoying ourselves...

Oh i really love when Chris Brown sings "NO AIR", he let all the female audience sing the part of Jordin in the song... (syempre kanta kung kanta ang lola mo!) and his finale "Forever" ah! i can't help it... in someway i dance (oh my?! did i?!!!) Included on his performance are songs like: "Run It", "Yo! Excuse me Miss", "Say Goodbye", "Kiss Kiss", "With You".

A Fireworks display happen after CB's performance. love the fireworks nakakatuwa! Then 30 mins after Rihanna's wen't out! She got "Disturbia" as her first song... nice! (she's just wearing a corset and a tangga! well accdg to us she's almost wearing a panty! she's so damn hot!) Other songs that she sang are: "Pon de Replay", "Rehab", "Please don't stop the Music", "Hate that I Love You", "Take a Bow", "Good girl Gone bad".

As the finale of the concert CB and Rihanna performed "Umbrella/Cinderella". Love the moment when CB kissed Rihanna's shoulder during their performance... Well the concert is the Best! Nakakabitin!!!

After the concert we decide to stay muna sa parking since it's still traffic... (Bee and Nize are correct sayang talaga ang gasolina...) We shared some chit-chats while waiting for the traffic to subside...

Around 1am we decide to go na, we decide to eat first before we part ways (hehehe as usual gutom na naman...) We ate at Yellow Cab in Eastwood, Libis. (we found out that Wyeth loves ice cream! grabe she finished first: sabi nga ni Bee: Now you see it, now you don't!)

We really had a great time that night! As in! (Ano Nize? ayaw mo pa sumama ano?! hahaha)

Here are the other pics:

picture taking during the concert...

after the concert...

at Yellow Cab in Eastwood, Libis...

As what i told Bee let's make the best out of it! (Bee, hope we will have more gimmiks with our "girlfriends" before you leave...)

** Wyeth and Choi! it's nice meeting you guys!!!

New Addiction...

2008-11-14T22:26:00.000-08:00

Reminiscin'

2008-11-12T18:09:00.000-08:00

I was browsing and here is what i found... nakakatuwa lang:

c charlie, hindi pa cla ni nizeth nung panahon na ni-capture tong pic na 'to
c jen and c alex pareho pa cla payat (if you will see them now, asus! medyo nag-gain cla ng weight.. hmmm bakit kaya?!)
c V, medyo mahaba pa lang ang hair d2... (ngaun sobra haba because of the suitors na naka-pila... hehehe joke!)
c Ramel, nung panahon na yan RAMEL pa ang tawag sa kanya... (ngaun kasi medyo sossy na... RAM... WOW!)

Hayy!! bottom line is: kelan kaya 'to mauulit?

Officially Yours

2008-11-04T15:35:00.000-08:00

Got the Ticket.. Finally!

2008-10-31T19:01:00.000-07:00

Nize accompanied me to buy ticket for the concert (Chris Brown & Rihanna). Stayed at the office till 4pm and all worth it! why? Got the tickets already!

... Finally i have it!

After buying the ticket, Ramel asked if we can eat first before going home... i'm watching the time and its kinda late na rin, but since na may point sya (kapag nakauwi na tulog na lang)... i said yes na rin.

We ate at Chef 'd Angelo, Oh my! i'm so full (coz the servings are big) i feel more sleepy after we ate. Aroud 7.30 we part our ways na... Natawa nga me kasi Ramel is inviting us to play billiards pa... ay naku! kung wla lang ako pasok y not?! hehehe

Nize also texted Bee to inform that we already got ticket for the concert...

Ohhhh! So excited na talaga!

If I Knew

2008-10-30T19:19:00.000-07:00

said it was over

and im slowly dealin

but deep inside there's this awful pain im feeling

i wonder when it will end

when can love start again?

told myself that you probably need some time and

maybe then you would come to change your mind but
now i know i was wrong

guess i gotta be strong

i gotta move on...

though in time things will heal in my heart

but right now im just falling apart

if i knew that you still love me i could

undo the pain i caused and i would take it all away

so you'd stay but its too late for that

coz your not coming back no more...

so much i'll never have the chance to say

though im still hopin that you come back one day

but dont know why i pretend

when i know in my heart i wont see you again

though in time i will have to let go

right now i just need you to know

I don't wanna have to close the door

and i dont want another view no more

is there nothing that i can do

to change the way you feel?

"but its too late for that
because your not coming back no more... "

Can't Wait... I'm so Excited!

2008-10-29T22:14:00.000-07:00

Yipee! I'm so excited because today Bee, Nize, and me will buy Chris Brown and Rihanna's Concert Ticket! (c Nize kasi tagal mag-decide weh)

Bee showed me the seat map in Bonifacio Global City Open Field...

2008-10-28T19:50:00.000-07:00

"fate brings you together, but it's still up to you to make it happen..we may meet someone by chance...but loving and staying with that someone is still a choice..."

these past week, i've been so occupied that i don't have time to browse the net... got so many things to do... so earlier during my free time i grabbed the opportunity to do the thing that i missed... BLOGGING!!!

when i open my acct. i dunno what will i put on my post so i checked friendster to look for some interesting pics...

... i found out that Joel had his Great Wall Adventure in China (kasama ung mga friends nyang chekwa! ahehe)

here is the pic kayo na ang humusga!

Ultimate Gimmik!

2008-10-07T22:47:00.000-07:00

Finally, i got the chance to have a gimmik with my ever dearest chevers friends! hehehe

At first, i thought i cannot join them since my team also have gimmik at that time (pero dahil sabi nga nila kapag may gusto may paraan.. hahaha)

Since I have earlier shift, after we logged out we went straight ahead in DENCIO's with my team, this is the first time that i will have a chance to get bond with the team (outside office of course!)

For more than 3 hours marami akong nalaman sa mga agents/new found friends ko... we shared lots of chit-chats and laughs...

... and of course we shared lots of BEERS! Cheers GUYS!!! (sa uulitin!!!)

------ anyway, itutuloy ko na ung kwento ko, around 4.15pm i received a call from nizeth saying that they are already outside waiting for me, so I bid my goodbye to my team and head to my girls...

My next destination, ROCKWELL...

This is where me and my girls hang out on that day! Kwentuhan while strolling (ay naku! kelangan maka-catch up ang dami ko na na-miss! hehehe)

We checked some good buys, ( i found a black blouse from Dorothy Perkins and i only got it for 500 bucks! yeheyy!!!)

then nung napagod.. we look for a better place to eat... then Bee told me that one of her teammate suggest to eat at Pepper Lunch!

The food is good and its very affordable! the food will serve to you sizzling... ohhh sarap! then u need to mix it while pan is still hot so that the meat will cook evenly...

I remember Bee, she can't even mix her food kasi natatakot sa na matalamsikan... (mainit kasi and masakit sa balat!) so i volunteered to mix her food for her...

and since maganda ang lights ng place... syempre, papalagpasin ba namin ang hindi magpa-picture???!!! so here it is..

Oh db? kanya-kanyang way ng pagpa-pacute! hahaha

syempre! mwawala ba naman ang mga wacky pic?

I would like to thank Nizeth for crawling under the table to make this picture possible.. hehehe

Bee's Ultimate Treat!!!

After we eat, nangabayo c nizeth, (yeah! here is the proof!)

In fairness, magaling sya mangabayo!!! HAHAHA

.... then nagvideoke kami, hahaha lakas ng trip lahat ng pambirit kinanta!

Bee, grabe! ang galing mo palang bumirit! *salutes*

Finally...

2008-10-07T22:36:00.000-07:00

Need to stay at the office till 3pm because I need to meet Joel before he go back to China... I browse my friendster and my friends profiles...
When i check Nyanin's profile and check her album, these pics got my attention...

when i'm looking at these pictures i really can't help but smile...

before we are just teasing them, pero ngaun... hihihi... i'm sorry gurl i grabbed these pics without ur permission... i'm just happy! hope u won't get mad! mwah!

Blog Tag

2008-09-30T17:01:00.000-07:00

Blog-tag has been started by Jeff Pulver as a game for a Virtual Cocktail Party. The purpose of the game is for your blog readers to know you better. Jeff Pulver's version only shares 5 things about himself that few of his friends know. Since the blog-tag has really gone a long way, the list of things that you can share with your blog readers have also been increased. If you think your blog readers need to know more than 5 things about you then you can always choose to have a higher number.

Same rules still applies.Here how it goes:

Share 8 things that your readers don’t know about you. Then at the end, tag 8 other bloggers to keep the fun going.

Each blogger must post these rules first.
Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
Bloggers who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog

Hassle sa Muscle

2008-09-26T20:15:00.000-07:00

Thank God its Saturday! at least the week is finally over for the team... so many things (note: stressful things) happened to our team this week, and i don't want to enumerate it... (baka ma-stress lang me lalo)...

sabi nga ni coach shei "tama na yan, inuman na!"
Thanks coachie, i'll take your advice! hehehe

Well, we are hoping next week the luck is with us... (pambawi man lang sa hassle na nangyari ngayong linggo...)

Team Building...

2008-09-23T20:29:00.000-07:00

Yehey! at last the waiting is finally over! We had our meeting earlier and we discussed our upcoming teambuilding. Yup! you heard it right i'm gonna spend time na with my first team ever! (YIPEE)

The team have a lot of ideas to share which makes me excite more...

We are planning to have it on Oct 27-28 in a resort somewhere in Subic (Elmer is in charge of looking for a nice place since malapit yun sa place nila), Nick suggested Fontana Resort, he even called the resort na nga nung pagkasabi nya na dun na lang (galante ang lolo mo! dami load! hehehe)

Unfortunately, accdg to him, we need to rent a room in villa for us to use the pool (which is for sure, mahal). Ayun, so we ended dun sa Subic...

Hay! really, ngaun pa lang i'm so excited na... out of town, away from work, and for sure we will have so much fun! (wish ko lang wlang bagyo... hehehe)

Life in the Morning

2008-09-17T19:46:00.000-07:00

Ganito pla ang feeling kapag morning shift ka:

Wlang traffic pag papasok ka ng office (hello traffic 3AM? A.S.A)

Ang bilis makagutom

Sulit ang tulog sa gabi

Ang init pag-labas mo ng office

May time ka pa gumimik after work...

ANG SAYA!!! Ü

Be a Huge Success

2008-09-15T19:47:00.000-07:00

Follow your passion. Try to drop tasks you don’t like. “Successful people focus most on the things they enjoy,” says Marcus Buckingham, author of The One Thing You Need to Know. Then…

Jump in. If you’re interested in a project, ask to get involved, no matter how small a role you play.

Find a buddy. See if you can team up with someone to divvy up preferred duties. “The person who hates giving presentations might be happier doing the prep work,” notes Buckingham.

Be strategic. “Think about how every task you do will benefit you,” explains Buckingham. For example, If I organize these files, my boss will have everything at her fingertips and I’ll have a less stressful day.

Meeting the Team...

2008-09-15T19:30:00.000-07:00

Hope to have more fun memories with you guys!

Joel's despedida

2008-09-01T12:51:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday, Joel had his “padespedida”. He invited Gelai, Papi Lloyd. Amar, and me.
It’s his last day since he will have his flight back to China the next day; we met at Gerry’s grill in J. Vargas.

I receive a call from Amar, informing me that they were waiting for me and Gelai since it’s already 9am and we are not yet arrived (mga pasaway naman kasi hindi nagte-text).

When we got there, Amar, and Joel together with his gf Irish starting their session na…

Tamang kwentuhan (si Joel kasi kinukwento nya yung mga experiences nya sa China)…

Then we called Yen (kaka-miss lalo na magkakasama ang barkada) unfortunately we don’t have the chance to talk to her ng maayos kasi napuputol ung line…

Tamang Chill din, we only consume 4 buckets of beer (pampaantok lang), then Joel ordered sisig and adobo shreds. (panalo!)

Nakaka-miss lang kasi ang tagal bago kami ulit nabuo (actually hndi rin kami nabuo since Yen was not there)…

We are looking forward after 30 days kasi magkikita-kita ulit kmi pag-uwi ni Joel…

According to him next time sagot na nya lahat! hehehe

Pimping...

2008-08-29T06:56:00.000-07:00

At last i changed my blog template n! nakakasawa na kasi ung dati... so para naman may maiba sa page ko... (hekhek)

well the reason why i decide to change it is because i saw a good header for my blog (hehehe again) ... and since the color of my blog and the header that i got won't suite on my previous blog template, so i decided to change it as well...

by the way i got the header in Hed Kandi website...

hmmm.. i'm still thinking what else i can add on my page. I just want something new...

Boyce Avenue

2008-08-20T07:22:00.000-07:00

The first time i heard their music is when we are looking for a dining set in some store in SM, my sister is asking who's the artist but we really have no idea...

When me and my college barkada met in dhan's house, i heard it again in nhilo's ipod so i ask who is the artist, its BOYCE AVENUE!

BOYCE AVENUE, a Florida-based band popular for its strong acoustic roots and constant drive toward a melody- and harmony-driven rock sound, consists of the three brothers Alejandro, Fabian, and Daniel Manzano, and Stephen Hatker. The band first came together in 2000, and then the rest is history...

What i love about them are their songs... so cool! (my fave is the Tatoo No One Where is the love Medley)

You can check more info bout them on this site: www.myspace.com/boyceavenue

Reunion '08

2008-08-20T05:36:00.001-07:00

For 4 years we didn't see each other, the last time we saw each other (well except for nhilo) is nung nag-graduate kami nung college...

that is why when i received a txt from dhan asking kung pwede kami magkita-kita, i did not hesitate to say yes, so they decided to do it in dhan's place... so it's me, Mhay, Jen, Nhilo, and Ice yung natuloy, nagkita kami sa MRT (North Ave, as usual late ako... hehehe) sad kasi hindi kami nakumpleto (hindi kasi nakasama c Rye, Ronald, and Jason)

so we went to Greenwoods in Pasig, grabe may kalayuan pero ok lang... ang ganda ng place very sosy... may pool sa likod ng house nila (accdg kay dhan, nung feb lang xa lumipat dun... ) nung makarating kami syempre pahinga muna and todo kwentuhan... (c dhan ang sipag kasi luto ng luto... hehehe)

hay nakaka-miss talaga...

More about me...

2008-08-15T06:08:00.000-07:00

Well here i am again, got nothing to do... lakas ng ulan, nakaka-inip so i browse the net and found this site wherein you can translate your name into Chinese character... Actually, u can select your name based on the characteristics you will choose...

I selected personality and Attitude; So here is my name traslated in Chinese..

The first character is my surname (Su), The second and third is my given name (Ai and Nuan),

Ai means - lush; affable, friendly while Nuan means - warm and genial.

Cool db?!

and here is more...

My first name means:

Spanish - Female Angel.
Latin - Female Angel; Messenger.
Italian - Female Feminine form of Angelo: Messenger of God; angel.
Greek - Female Feminine form of Angel, meaning messenger or angel. In 1535, Italian Saint Angela Merici, founded the Ursuline order of nuns at Brescia.
French - Female Angel.

My number is: 9
The characteristics of #9 are: Humanitarian, giving nature, selflessness, obligations, creative expression.

My expression or destiny:

The expression that you exhibit is represented bythe number 9. Your talents center in humanistic interests and approaches. You like to help others as you were intended to be the 'big brother or big sister' type. You operate best when you follow your feelings and sense of compassion, and allow yourself to be sensitive to the needs of others. You work well with people, and have the potential to inspire. This suggests that you could successfully teach or counsel. Creative ability, imagination and artistic talent (often latent) of the highest order are present in this expression. It's possible that you're not using or developing all of these capabilities at this time. Some of your talents may have been used at an earlier time in your life, and some may still be latent. Be aware of your capabilities, so that you can make use of them at appropriate times.
If you are able to achieve the potential of your natural expression in this life, you are capable of much human understanding and have a lot to give to others. Your personal ambitions are likely to be maintained in a very positive perspective, never losing sight of an interest in people, and a sympathetic, tolerant, broad-minded and compassionate point of view. You are quite idealistic, and disappointed at the lack of perfection in the world. You have a strong awareness of your own feeling as well as those of others. Friendships, affection, and love are extremely important.
Undeveloped or ignored, the negative side of the 9 expression can be very selfish and self-centered. If you do not actively involve yourself with work that benefits others, you may tend to express just the opposite characteristics. It is your role to be very involved with other people and their needs, but it may be difficult for you achieve this role. Aloofness, lack of involvement, and a lack of sensitivity mark the low road of this expression.

My Soul Urge number is: 1
A Soul Urge number of 1 means: Your Soul Urge is the number 1. With a Soul Urge number of 1, you want to lead and direct, to work independent of supervision, by yourself or with subordinates. You take pride in your abilities and want to be recognized for them. You may seek opportunities to display your strength and usefulness, wanting to create and originate. In your desire to manage the big picture and the main issues, you may often leave the details to others.
The positive 1 Soul Urge is Ambitious and determined, a leader seeking opportunities. There is a great deal of honesty and loyalty in this character. If you possess positive 1 Soul Urge qualities, you are very attainment oriented and driven to success. You are a loyal friend and strictly fair in your business dealings.
The negative side of the 1 Soul Urge must be avoided. A negative 1 is apt to dominate situations and people; the home, the spouse, the family and the business. Emotions aren't strong in this nature. If you possess an excess of 1 energy, you may, at times, be boastful and egotistic. You must avoid being too critical and impatient of trifles. The great need of the 1 Soul Urge is the development of friendliness, and a sincere interest in people.

My Inner Dream number is: 8
An Inner Dream number of 8 means: You dream of success in the business or political world, of power and control of large material endeavors. You crave authority and recognition of executive skills. Your secret self may have very strong desire to become an entrepreneur.

Sick Cycle Carousel

Lifehouse

If shame had a face I think it would kind of look like mine

If it had a home would it be my eyes

Would you believe me if I said I am tired of this

Well here we go one more time

I tried to climb your steps

I tried to chase you down

I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground

I tried to earn my wayI tried to change this mind

You better believe that I tried to beat this

So when will this end

It goes on and on

And over and over and over again

Keep spinning around I know that it wont stop

Till I step down from this for good

I never thought Id end up here

I never thought Id be standing where I am

I guess I kind of thought it would be easier than this

I guess I was wrong now one more time

Cause I tried to climb your steps

I tried to chase you down

I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground

I tried to earn my wayI tried to change this mind

You better believe that I tried to beat this,

So when will this end

It goes on and on

And over and over and over again

Keep spinning around I know that it wont stop

Till I step down from this

Sick cycle carousel, this is a sick cycle, yeah

Sick cycle carousel

This is a sick cycle yeah

So when will this end

It goes on and on

And over and over and over again

Keep spinning around I know that it wont stop

Till I step down from this for good

When will this end

It goes on and on

And over and over and over again

Keep spinning around I know that it wont stop

Till I step down from this for good

The Untied Knot

2008-07-25T07:03:00.000-07:00

Got nothing to do.. so what i did is to check cosmopolitan website... an interesting article got my attention...

Here it is...

"I’m turning 27 soon. Friends and colleagues have started marrying up over the past few years, and people have started to ask when I plan to tie the knot. You see, “plan” is the operative word in all this. My plan was to get married by the time I hit 28 years old.
Girls Will Be Girls
I grew up doing the same things most girls do—attend soireés in high school, indulge in the occasional flirtation with a cute crush, and celebrate a coming-out party on my 18th birthday. Eventually, I dated, fell in love, and got my heart brohappy ken. Throughout all these, I also dreamt of the same things most girls wanted: to find the love of my life, get married, and start a family of my own.
I do feel a tinge of envy when I see dear friends walk down their dream aisles, in their dream dresses, towards their dream guys. The inggit, however, lasts for merely a few seconds. During the next moment, I think: “Oh my! They’re seriously getting married now? Why so soon?”

Plan B

Don’t get me wrong—I’m extremely brohappy for my friends who’ve decided to tie the knot when they did. But during each wedding ceremony, I quietly wished that the couple did the math and carefully considered the costs of the wedding, the house, the life together, and the kids. Foremost, I fervently wished that before they promised forever, my dear friends had learned to be initially happy by themselves, before attempting to be happy with someone else.
Now, my personal plan is no longer bound by age pegs or “marry” musts. Instead, it involves having enough time to build a career, rake up a good amount of savings, and, more importantly, do all the things I like doing by myself—all before I settle down with someone else.

The Power of One

With my new plan in action, I now get to make decisions for myself by myself. I get to buy solo tickets to concerts, go out with friends without paalam, invest on gadgets without thinking of saving up for anniv gifts, go on impromptu backpacking trips locally and abroad, and spend time with people I wouldn’t have spent that much time with had I been with someone.
Today, I feel that there is no room for self-pity about my single status. In fact, it lets me be flexible and allows me to appreciate things differently. With this independent kind of financial and emotional perspective, I get to immerse myself in whatever mystery or adventure I wish to experience—carte blanche.
While waiting for Mr. Right to come along, I will keep sending my best wishes to coupled-up friends as I enjoy my sensationally sizzling, single life. Although I don’t know when it’ll happen, I know that one day, someone will sweep me off my feet and whisk me away with a promise of a happy-every-after. I also know that by that time, I’ll be able to confidently say, “Yes, I am ready to get married now. Take me!”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GELAI!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL!!! MWAHH!!!

Falling

by: Keahiwai

wanna tell you baby

That you're the one that Im thinking of

But your heart is still with her

And I think she's the one that you love

I only want you happy

Even if it's not with me

Maybe one day

You'll open up your eyes and you'll see

[Chorus]

That I think I'm falling

Maybe I'm falling for you

Yeah I think I'm falling

Baby i'm falling for you

[Verse 2]

From the first time

You laid your lips on mine

It feels like the smile on my face

Will last till the end of time

But Im not so sure

If you're the one that I should pursue

My mind tells me no

But my heart only says that it's you

[Chorus]

Bridge:

Only time will tell

The mystery has yet to unfold

Who's gonna feel love's warmth

And the other left in the cold

Yet still I'm falling

Maybe I'm falling for you

Yeah I think I'm falling

Baby I'm falling for you

That I think I'm falling

Maybe I'm falling for you

Yeah I think Im falling

[Chorus]

Baby I'm falling for you

Gone...

Sigayan Beach

2008-07-16T05:01:00.000-07:00

We had our team building last July 12, 2008 with Team Coyote at Sigayan Beach in La-Iya, Batangas... We leave the office around 9:00am then we arrive at the resort around 1:30 pm (i'm not sure bout it ksi antok antok pa ako when we arrive at the resort...)

OK naman ung resort, it has 7 queen size beds (which is sakto lang sa amin...), free 5 galons of water (with hot & cold dispenser), and gas stove... (don't ask me bout the beach cuz i never been there... well, accdg sa kanila maganda naman daw...)

After namin ibaba ung gamit, we head straight sa room, konting ayos ng gamit, then i saw katrina preparing our lunch... and since i'm so pagod and sobrang init i decide to take a bath first...

Then konting kwentuhan, after that we decide to sleep muna (kakapagod eh)...

unforunately i missed these ksi nakatulog ako (imagine i woke up 12midnight na!)

so bumawi na lang ako sa inuman... (eto ung masasabi ko na pinaka-enjoy para sa akin...) Y? kasi nakita ko c allen uminom!!! hahaha (bago un para sa akin!)

around 4am natapos ung inuman namin and since na hindi pa ako inaatok i decide na mag-shower ulit then start na magprepare ng breakfast (nagulat ako kasi c anne and jr gising na rin pala!)... after ko mag-shower kat woke up na rin... so kat and i decide na mag-prepare na ng breakfast (si JR nakaka-touch kasi sinamahan nya kami while we are cooking...) xempre "chika-chikaness" hehehe

imagine we start preparing our breakfast ng 5 am tapos 7 am na hindi pa rin kami tapos... (tingnan mo nga naman...) mga 7:30 am the others woke up na... then they told us na mag-snorkling daw... (unfortunately hindi ako nakasama kasi we need to prepare our lunch pa...) i'm happy na rin kasi na-enjoy ng team ung outing namin...

These are the pics that i got from them...

around 2pm of July 13, 2008 umuwi na rin kami... daan kami colette's to buy pasalubong...

Red Box Day part 2! (Gui & Jeri's Bday)

2008-07-04T06:14:00.000-07:00

For the second time around, we went to Red Box in Trinoma... why? because its Gui and Jerry's B-day! (YIPEE!!!)

Sabi nga nila mas marami, mas masaya. nakakatuwa kasi nakasama sila Coach Ron, Jayvee, Rovin, and Gers.

We arrive there exactly 12nn at Tri so we go straight ahead sa Red Box. (nakakatuwa nga kasi yung frontliner natandaan kami) we occupied Room 80 (sa bungad lang) infairness, mas malaki and mas malamig yung room... very very good!

Xempre pagpasok namin sa room, kantahan time na... It's Jayvee who sang first ( forgot the song na nikanta nya!)

Xempre hindi papahuli si Coach Anne... ahihi

Minutes later the food arrives and dahil lahat kami gutom na, galit galit na muna... hahaha sarap ng food nila grabe! (accdg to JR & Gui, masarap daw ung fish...)

si mak oh, serious...

c coach ron multi-tasking, singing while eating... hehehe

GRABE ANG SAYA!!!

... After we eat, xempre tuloy ang kantahan...

around 3, its's time to say bye bye na... we are planning to watch movie (HANCOCK) but since Mak, Jerry, and Kat has a shift today they decide to go home early... so its Me, Gui, Anne, Coach Ron, and JR who watched the movie...

We part ways around 6:30 PM, hindi rin ako nakauwi agad coz i saw my kuya so we stayed pa sa Tri. (hehehe...)

To summarize the gimmik that we had today, one word: SUPERB!

... grabe ang saya! (ulitin daw ba?!)

Thanks to Jeri & Gui for the treat! HAPPY BDAY!!! luv you both!!!

Its Anne's B-day last June 19 but since we have shift at that time she decided to treat us on our last day (grabe! napakagalante! hehehe. actually i never expected this gimmik promise!)... before the end of the shift we are not yet decided where to go... but since coach Anne never been to Trinoma, we decided to go there instead...

Coach Anne wants something to have other activity aside from eating... Videoke! So we decide to go to RED BOX... and since we arrive there early and Red Box will open at 12nn (nagtataka talaga ako bakit ganun cla nagbubukas...???) we decide na magpalipas oras muna sa TimeZone (since its located right beside Red Box!)

Since i lost my power card i decided to buy a new one... i played stacker and the other play basketball and racing...

Coach Anne can't wait to sing, kumanta na xa dun sa music box sa time zone... ahihihi

while we are on the music box JR informed us that Red Box is open na...

Grabe its cheap for only 199 you have sing all you can and eat all you can for 3 hrs (hmmm.. not bad!)

WOW! ang saya! simula nung pumasok kami sa room hanggang matapos grabe! puro kami tawa!

there are incident wherein Jeri sing and we tease Kat hahaha... (kilig!)

for the finale, Gui sang "Bed of Roses" by Jon Bon Jovi with actions! hahaha... sobrang sakit talaga ng tiyan namin... ahehehe

We went home round 4pm... sad to say but we need to end this...

Well no need to get sad naman for too long because we'll gonna have Red Box Day again soon...

10 quirky facts about kissing

2008-06-20T17:00:00.000-07:00

... while i'm waiting for Anne to finish i browse the web and an interesting article caught my attention...

Think you know a thing or two about kissing? You probably do. But the facts below are so off the beaten path, we’ll bet you don’t know them all—and they could come in handy. Not only could they provide some steamy “Did you know…?” chit chat, but they’ll help you see all the benefits a satisfying lip lock can bring into your life. Happy smooching!

1. Two out of every three couples turn their heads to the right when they kiss.

2. A simple peck uses two muscles; a passionate kiss, on the other hand, uses all 34 muscles in your face. Now that’s a rigorous workout!

3. Like fingerprints or snowflakes, no two lip impressions are alike.

4. Kissing is good for what ails you. Research shows that the act of smooching improves our skin, helps circulation, prevents tooth decay, and can even relieve headaches.

5. The average person spends 336 hours of his or her life kissing.

6. Ever wonder how an “X” came to represent a kiss? Starting in the Middle Ages, people who could not read used an X as a signature. They would kiss this mark as a sign of sincerity. Eventually, the X came to represent the kiss itself.

7. Talk about a rush! Kissing releases the same neurotransmitters in our brains as parachuting, bungee jumping, and running.

8. The average woman kisses 29 men before she gets married.

9. Men who kiss their partners before leaving for work average higher incomes than those who don’t.

10. The longest kiss in movie history was between Jane Wyman and Regis Tommey in the 1941 film, You’re in the Army Now. It lasted 3 minutes and 5 seconds. So if you’ve beaten that record, it’s time to celebrate! Ü

Kung Fu Panda

2008-06-16T06:54:00.000-07:00

A clumsy panda bear becomes an unlikely kung fu hero when a treacherous enemy spreads chaos throughout the countryside in this animated martial arts adventure featuring the voices of Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, and Jackie Chan. On the surface, Po (voice of Black) may look like just another portly panda bear, but beneath his fur he bears the mark of the chosen one. By day, Po works faithfully in his family's noodle shop, but by night he dreams of becoming a true master of the martial arts. Now an ancient prophecy has come to pass, and Po realizes that he is the only one who can save his people from certain destruction. With time running short and malevolent snow leopard Tai Lung (Ian McShane ) closing in, Furious Five legends Tigress (Jolie), Crane (David Cross ), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Viper (Lucy Liu), Monkey (Chan), and their wise sensei, Master Shifu (Hoffman), all draw on their vast knowledge of fighting skills in order to transform a lumbering panda bear into a lethal fighting machine. Now, if the noble Po can master the martial arts and somehow transform his greatest weaknesses into his greatest strengths, he will fulfill his destiny as the hero who saved his people during their darkest hour.

The Incredible Hulk

2008-06-16T06:42:00.000-07:00

Depicting the events after the Gamma Bomb. 'The Incredible Hulk' tells the story of Dr Bruce Banner, who seeks a cure to his unique condition, which causes him to turn into a giant green monster under emotional stress. Whilst on the run from military which seeks his capture, Banner comes close to a cure. But all is lost when a new creature emerges; The Abomination. Written by Graham Kroon
A cure is in reach for the world's most primal force of fury: THE INCREDIBLE HULK. We find scientist Bruce Banner, living in shadows, scouring the planet for an antidote. But the warmongers who dream of abusing his powers won't leave him alone, nor will his need to be with the only woman he has ever loved, Betty Ross. Upon returning to civilization, our brilliant doctor is ruthlessly pursued by The Abomination -- a nightmarish beast of pure adrenaline and aggression whose powers match The Hulk's own. A fight of comic-book proportions ensues as Banner must call upon the hero within to rescue New York City from total destruction. One scientist must make an agonizing final choice -- accept a peaceful life as Bruce Banner or the creature he could permanently become: THE INCREDIBLE HULK.

New Team, Movie Trip... Catch Up!

2008-06-16T05:18:00.001-07:00

WEeee! its been a long time since the last time i update my blog (kasi naman ang pangit ng station ko sa ofc.. *sad*)

Last week, Anne and I transferred to the new team (kaka-miss c lala...) the first day went well, we have a meeting (syempre more on getting to know each other.. introduce urself and the like...) it was wednesday when we found out that kat, jerry, and makidok will be transferred to our team since the account is lacking on L5 peeps during wednesday, Anne and I we're so happy about it! (can't wait to tell them the news...) unfortunately the day after when we tell it to Kat, Jerry, and Makidok they said that they are not happy about it (urghh... i am so so disappointed...) when i told Anne their reaction, she also told me that she felt the same way... (unfortunately the 3 do not have any option 'coz they are badly needed... ahehehe) When they transferred to our team we told them what we feel about their reaction and they gave naman reasons.. everything went well naman after that... (whew!) and since that we have a plan of watching movie, we decided to invite them na rin..

So 'twas last saturday when Me, Anne, JR, Kat, Jerry, and Makidok watched movie (since its our last day we decided to w8 na lang magbukas ung Megamall...) while we are waiting for 10am, i finished my fontym na rin (hehehe)

around 9am when i finished my fontym when Amiel and Dar saw me, they tag me from Amiel's station to the elavator... (ang harot grabe!) to my surprise my Crocs sandals gave in! (badtrip! kung kelan may lakad ako tska pa nasira...) when i informed them what happen on my sandals wala lang pinagtawanan lang nila ako... (mga kamote talaga! makakaganti rin ako sa inyo!!! *&^%)

I just asked Anne na mag-taxi na lang kami papuntang Mega coz i can't stand walking with my sandals (cla JR and Mak naglakad na lang coz they said that they want to smoke)... so Me, Anne, Kat, and Jerry head directly at the department store, i just bought myself a pair of Ipanema Sandals... (its nice and its cheap lang para sa design nya... c JR twag ng twag when we are looking for a sandals hehehe kanina pa kasi cla nakapila sa sinehan)
So after i paid for the sandals, we head na rin sa Cinema...

We watched Incredible Hulk, (nakakatawa c Anne kasi she's always bugging JR, she's telling that she cannot relate... aheeheh)... The movie was fine.. i like the effects and the story... (its just that i don't get some part of the movie, maybe because i'm not a Marvel Fan... *wink*) Afterwards, we head to Sbarro for some gurbs (gutom na rin kasi kami, mga hindi pa naglu-lunch weh...) Kat and Jerry informed us that they will not join na since that they need to go home pa sa bulacan... so its me, anne, jr, and mak na lang ang kumain...

Anne and I ordered Chicago Deep White and Baked Zitti with White Sauce (we decide to share na lang since Sbarro got big servings...) then Anne ordered Blueberry Cheesecake pa!
Xempre since what we ordered is my ultimate fave i finished my share while Anne got a little bit of everything (inaasar nga nila JR and Mak... hehehe)

Then after we ate... ikot-ikot sa mall... then Mak bids g-bye na rin since she needs to meet his wife sa baclaran..

After window shopping Anne asked us (me and jr) if we can watch Kung Fu Panda (since she really want it) i told her that its "fine with me... asked JR" (c small r kasi nag-iinarte that time)
so when JR gave in we head back to cinema to watch Kung Fu Panda, Anne treat us soda and popcorn (thanks coachie!!!)

Grabe when we enter the theatre sobrang dami ng tao! (nakaupo kami sa balcony na! ampotah! pero in fairness ang ganda ng view ha!) I can say that Kung Fu Panda is a good movie! grabe pinasakit yung tyan namin ni Anne kakatawa...

Around 6:30pm when we part our ways (gabi na rin kasi and Anne needs to meet Ian na...)

The gimmik was great! I myself admit that i really had a great time! ang saya sarap ulitin! hehehe....

Errr

2008-05-31T14:44:00.000-07:00

GO FOR COOK!!!

2008-05-21T19:17:00.000-07:00

YEY! David Cook bag the Title for the American Idol Season 7! I even stayed at the office 'till 10:30 AM just to watch the finals of AI... well its such a nice feeling to see that ur bet won the title...

The article below discuss the highlights of the finals night:

Season 7 was going to end with one of its Davids crowned as king; after close to 100 million votes, it's David Cook, the 25-year-old bartender from Blue Springs, Missouri, who wears this year's American Idol crown. ''I'm at a loss for words,'' Cook said after host Ryan Seacrest revealed he had received 12 million more votes than the runner-up, 17-year-old David Archuleta. ''This is amazing. Thank you.''

The two-hour wait to learn the winner of the duel of the Davids was filled with music, with all the top 12 Idol contestants reunited for several group and duet performances. The finale also featured guest appearances by Seal, Donna Summer, Bryan Adams, ZZ Top, Graham Nash, the Jonas Brothers, OneRepublic, season 6 Idol champ Jordin Sparks, season 4 winner Carrie Underwood, and a grand finale appearance by George Michael.

Among a mixed bag of taped comedy bits, Jack Black, Ben Stiller, and Robert Downey Jr. performed as Gladys Knight's Pips, and Mike Myers plugged his summer comedy The Love Guru, appearing as that film's Guru Pitka doing shtick with the two Davids. Myers also turned up on stage, as did late-night host Jimmy Kimmel for a quick roast of the judges.

To end the night, a tearful Cook stepped to center stage for his first performance as Idol champ, singing the winning tune from the Idol songwriting competition, ''Time of My Life.''

It's a Morph Thing!

2008-05-21T15:55:00.000-07:00

We have a game in our office wherein you will submit a picture of your team mate then his/her look-a-like... while we are looking for a possible victim from our team, we found a website wherein you can morph your picture with a celebrity, you can check http://www.morphthing.com/

It really catch my attention and my curiosity, so we tried it... (actually you need to sign up first to use it.) First, i tried Kat's picture unfortunately we did not create a good morph because Kat is smiling on pic. (accdg to the website, for us to create a good morph, the image should be like a passport pic...) so we tried to morph my pic and Kat's pic.. here is the result...

Ang cute di ba?! hahaha...

and one more thing you can also have your morph pic an art... like this...

It's so cool and nakakatawa! hmmm... 'till here hahanap pa ako ng ibang mabibiktima! hehehe

Apmf!

2008-05-20T11:13:00.000-07:00

I just checked my mail and i remember what Amar told me na mag-send sya ng pic ng gwapo... i got curious but due to some restriction sa office hindi ko na sya nabuksan until now...

when i checked what he sent to me... this is what i found...

A.S.A eh di picture nya... ampF! wla pa ring pagbabago 'tong pare ko na to...

anyways, i miss you 'bro! hope to see u soon!!!

Team Froi's Team Building

2008-05-19T05:31:00.000-07:00

Bagyong Cosme is here, but Team Froi's still decided to pursue the team building...

The night before i texted Gelai if we will still go to bataan since its signal no.1 there and i saw on the news that the waves are so big.. (thinking that we will not enjoy it because of the weather..) but around 10pm they told me na it's tuloy daw... so i pack my bag so that i can leave the house early (since that i'm coming from bulacan pa.)

... around 9:30am i arrive at the office so i texted Gelai and Nyanin to inform that i'm at the back of the Wynsum Bldg. (anyway umakyat pa rin naman ako just to check if all of them are logged out na...) i saw Nyanin and Berna and they told me that Gelai went to the apmt to get the stuff that we will need on the outing, so we went down and there i met Jet (Nhad's gf)... Jet was so nice and she is so cool! Ma-chika din sya kaya nagkasundo kami ng mga girls...

around 11:30am we leave the office (nauna na cla coach froi since we waited fro nerio and paul pa...) then we met the others when we have our stop over sa Tabang NLEX... syempre kapag may stop over picture picture muna...

during ng byahe the weather is gloomy... but i'm still hoping and praying na wag na umulan, unfortunately hindi dininig ung prayers ko because when we are at the pampanga approaching clark bumuhos ang malakas na ulan ampotah! as in hindi na namin makita ung daan because of the rain... We are teasing Mikay pa nga na may balat sya because she told us na its the same scenario when they had their team building before with Team Zweet (at that time its bagyong Milenyo who hits the country...) hehehe

Anyways, to make the long story short we arrive naman sa resort ng safe (Haayyyy!) so we check the place first and unfortunately because of the typhoon hindi masyado maganda ang place... pero syempre mawawala ba ang mga pictures...

After the picture taking, we head to our own rooms na... It's me, nyanin, berna, dayrit, gelai, lloyd, jet, and nhad shares the same room while the others occupied the other two rooms... After that, nagyaya na magswimming (at that time sarado pa yung isang pool so punta kami sa beach, grabe as in sobrang lakas na alon! Ang sarap!)

afterwards, Dayrit and I went to the other pool wherein to our dismay is sobrang dumi! Dayrit called in "wilderness " because the are lots of dried leaves on the pool and because of that it looks like "tubig baha"... but still kahit ganun xa pinatos pa rin namin ni dayrit... hahaha kami ay mga walang patawad! then we jet, nhad, mikay, and nhad followed us sa pool so we just stayed there for a while then we decide to go back on our room.

Badtrip! when its time na para mag-shower wlang tubig, brownout pa! (good thing may tubig sa bathroom ng mga guys so kahit na mahina ang tulo tinyaga ko na lang makapagbanlaw lang...)

then after a few mins they announced that its time for us to eat our dinner.. WOW! sarap ng food fish and liempo! swak! after dinner, since its still brownout we just decide na mag-inuman sa tabing dagat! (ang sarap kasi ang lakas ng hangin sa may beach front! ang lamig! sakto sarap uminom!)

Then the next day.... its SUNNY DAY!

kung ano ang kinapangit last night binawi the next day, bukas na yung pool sa harap ng beach and medyo mahina na yung waves sa beach (although malakas pa rin yung alon kasi lampas pa rin sa ulo ko yung waves...) Hay! sa sobrang ganda ng weather hindi na namin nagawang umahon... hehehe

then around 3:00pm we decide to leave the resort, pero syempre picture picture while waiting for the others...

medyo umuulan na non buti na lang papaalis na kami ng umulan at least our swimming at that day was not ruined... hehehe

We just have our stop over in Subic Freeport to buy pasalubong...

Well, over all masaya kahit binagyo ang team building nila... i met new friend and have time to bond with my previous team. Hay! Sobrang saya talaga being with them... sa uulitin...

Happ Birthday Simoun!

2008-05-19T04:53:00.000-07:00

Last May 16, we celebrated Simoun's 2nd B-day... i filed a VL since his parents aren't here in the country... (It's me and thetta together with their nanny ang nag-aalaga sa kanila ng kuya nya...) nag-decide kami ni thetta na i treat yung mga kids.

I went home early on the same day (since it's 2 hrs ang byahe pauwi sa 'min from the office, and our main plan is to invite our relatives para kumain sa hauz) ...

Pagkauwi ko sinabi sa akin ni Thetta na her coach did not allow her to go on VL, so we decided to cancel it and go to the mall instead.

Simoun with Kuya Yuan

So we went to SM and have some lunch and go to Storyland since the kids prefer to go there...
We just spent 5 hours sa mall since may pasok pa si Thetta sa gabi...

The kids had fun and i'm sure about it... before we go home we bought the kids new toys, since they like dinosaurs we went to Toy Kingdom to buy some dinos to add on their collections...

McDonald's Hamdesal Meal

2008-05-15T15:30:00.000-07:00

It was last monday when i saw the new commercial of McDo about their new selection of burger meal (i dunno if they call it burger.. basta sandwhich ang tawag ko sa kanya...) it's the Hamdesal Meal (instead of the usual burger patty they put Ham with scrambled eggs and coleslaw) when i first saw it on the commercial, mukha talaga syang masarap (nakakatakam talaga...) so plan to go to McDo for my lunch.

unfortunately, the next day is very awful since i'm sobrang inaantok, so i prefer sleeping at the pantry rather than going down to eat...

its wednesday shift when Joel asked me to go on lunch, we also called Gelai to go on lunch with us... i'm so excited kasi at last matitikman ko na xa! (harhar)

So i told them to eat at McDo and informed them about the burger... So, We went to McDo in Strata.

Ano pa ba ang nangyari?! Xempre yun ang inorder namin, Hamdesal with Hot Choco (Panalo!) ...

to tell you honestly, i found it very masarap and very cheap (since it only cost P54 for the value meal) ...

I had a great breakfast at that time... as in Sobra!

Kaya for those people na gustong maiba naman kapag kumain sa McDo try the Hamdesal Meal!

(hahaha tama bang mag-sales talk?! hehehehe )

BrrrR!

2008-05-12T05:08:00.000-07:00

its raining hard as in! kung kelan papasok na ako tska uulan ng ganito kalakas... (bad trip! kelangan ko tuloy labanan ang katamaran... urggghh!)

I arrive early sa office (7:30pm, my shift is 9pm), so i do my daily routine, check ng friendster, update ng blog, check ng mga ka-bloggers, check my e-mails... (hehehe lahat bawal.. pasaway ako eh. bakit b?!)

... i'm still thinking of other things just to make me busy

... pero wala akong maisip, hehehe... sleep na lang muna ako sa pantry!

Wasted...

2008-05-09T04:48:00.000-07:00

Waaaahhh... i want to go home! My mind is not working... just wanna lay down and sleep...
i'm so wasted!

27 Dresses

2008-05-02T16:29:00.000-07:00

I've been planning to watch this movie before but i don't have time... Good thing Bee lend me her Itouch. I already watch the movie at last... (Thanks Bee! lav yah gurl!)

A single woman who has served as a bridesmaid a shocking 27 times wrestles with the prospect of supporting her sister at the altar on number 28, despite having fallen helplessly in love with her smitten sibling's handsome husband-to-be. Jane (Katherine Heigl) has the kind of altruistic traits that everyone looks for in a friend, yet lately the perennial bridesmaid has begun to feel as if something is missing in her life. One night, local newspaper reporter Kevin (James Marsden) spots the devoted bridal attendant racing between receptions in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and quickly surmises that her quirky tale may be just the story to get him off the bridal beat and into the big time. Immediately suspicious of the cynical reporter's motivations, Jane butts heads with Kevin just as her younger sister Tess (Malin Akerman) shows up in town. While Jane has always put the needs of friends and family before her own wants and desires, she's suddenly prompted to reevaluate her priorities when her boss -- with whom she is secretly in love -- falls for her younger sister Tess. When Tess and Jane's boss George (Edward Burns) make plans to marry, the smitten younger sibling mistakenly assumes that her lovelorn older sibling will be happy to take part in the wedding. For as far back as Jane can remember, she has sacrificed her own happiness for the sake of those she holds dearest, but now that her heart has been broken, she's finally found the courage to be honest with herself. Now, as Jane finally comes to terms with her true feelings, her life begins to change in ways she never expected. Judy Greer and Melora Hardin co-star in a romantic comedy scripted by The Devil Wears Prada screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna and directed by Anne Fletcher (Step Up). ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Forget About Me

2008-05-02T06:54:00.000-07:00

You Said It Wasn't
Gonna Be Like It Was Before
Then It Happened Again
Pushing Me Back Out The Door
Thought It Would Be Forreal This Time
Love Me Forget About The Signs
So Now What Do I Do
Now, That I Know That We're Through

Wish That I Could Move On
Can't Let Go, It's Too Strong
Just Like That And Then You're Gone
Is This How You Wanted It To Be
Everything You Had To Say
Sent The Tears Right Down My Face
Now I'm Trying To Escape
The Misery
Why Don't You Love Me
The Way I Loved You
It Feels So Crazy
Cause I Dunno What I Did To You
If You're Gonna Hurt Me
Then Do It Quickly
Cause I'm Tired Of Cryin
If You Don't Wanna Stick Around
Then, Baby, Forget About Me

Too Late, Sorry
I Didn't Even Have The Chance
You Said You Were Happy
Baby, I Don't Understand
Gave You Everything You Asked For
And Was Ready To Give A Lot More
I Would've Given The World
Right In The Palm Of Your Hand

Wish That I Could Move On
Can't Let Go, It's Too Strong
Just Like That And Then You're Gone
Is This How You Wanted It To Be
Everything You Had To Say
Sent The Tears Right Down My Face
Now I'm Trying To Escape
The Misery
Why Don't You Love Me
The Way I Loved You
It Feels So Crazy
Cause I Dunno What I Did To You
If You're Gonna Hurt Me
Then Do It Quickly
Cause I'm Tired Of Cryin
If You Don't Wanna Stick Around
Then, Baby, Forget About Me

Boy, My Heart Was True
And That You Can't Deny
Don't Be A Fool
And Walk Away From All The Lies
It's Up To You
Cause Heaven Knows I've Tried
Tell Me You're Still In Love

Why Don't You Love Me
The Way I Loved You
It Feels So Crazy
Cause I Dunno What I Did To You
If You're Gonna Hurt Me
Then Do It Quickly
Cause I'm Tired Of Cryin
If You Don't Wanna Stick Around
Then, Baby, Forget About Me
Forget About Me...

Support Team Building RAMA Beach Resort

2008-04-28T05:14:00.000-07:00

Yehey! The long wait is over, Finally, natuloy din yung team building namin!!! (Ilang beses din nare-sked kasi... sadness kasi hindi naman lahat nakasama)

The Support Team Team Building was in RAMA Beach Resort in Zambales (4 1/2 hrs drive from Manila)... Actually, me at first is nalilito if i will go or not because it's Team Anne's team building (my team) and nobody will take care of the kiddos at home... so at first i'm so wlang balak sumama but nung medyo malapit na yung outing i'm so nagdadalawang isip... (bec i really want to go...) syempre ang nanalo is yung sumama ako , good thing my sister txtd me and say na makakauwi xa ng april 25 (since she is in Baguio at that time... yehey!)

Its Me, Sarah, Jen, Tado, Mcoy, Vitoy, Migz, Ferdz, Sir Alex and Sir Deej ang magkakasama sa isang van while Dayrit, MJ, Lynn, Harry, RB, Madel, Madz shares on the other van.

On our way to the resort we have lots of jokes and chikas (which is lalong nakadagdag ng fun!)

First stop namin sa NLEX(dunno exactly where it is but i know its still in Bulacan proper)... the others bought food, others on bio break (hehehe), and the others just took pics (and that includes me! hehe)

We just stayed there for 15mins then we continue on our byahe...

Second Stop is at the Subic Freeport because Sarah needs to use the CR for bio break... so xempre while waiting for Mommy Sarah picture ulit! (mga adik sa pics!)

Then past 12nn coach Ron called to inform that he will join us (yehey!) then after that, we txtd the resort to inform that we will be there 'round 1:30 pm (para ma-prepare na ung lunch tomguts na kasi kami weh!) Nakakatawa during nung byahe ang dami kasi namin nakita na night club along olongapo, Tadz and Sir Deej teasing Sir Alex saying that they know na where will Alex go after the team building... hehehe

Sakto mga 3mins past 1:30pm we reach the resort, What good about the resort is that the people (crews) are very mababait and very accomodating... Inasikaso nila talaga kami! (KUDOS to y'all)...

After that, we went to our own rooms, Our group occupied the Dorm with 3 rooms inside. On the first room its me and Jen who shares in one room, then its Sir Deej and Sir Alex shares the next room, then its Tadz and Mami Sarah shares the 3rd room.

After that, Kainan Na!!! We ate our first Lunch in RAMA, sarap ng food! Our lunch contains of Pork BBQ, Chopsuey, Bihon, and Rice (wow! charap!) Sobrang Busog kami pagkatapos...

after that the others went at the front beach (kasi nandun yung videoke na ni-rent namin!). Pahinga lang kami ng konti ni Jen then we took shower just to freshen up (kasi ang init sa byahe!) then sunod kami sa beach front to join the others na nagvi-videoke (that's where i found out that kuya Mcoy has a talent! Ang ganda ng boses nya!)

Syempre ano pa bang bago, kasama ng videoke ay ang alak! hehehe (i only drink 1 bottle since i'm still full at that time)... we had videoke till 6pm then we head to the beach afterwards...

Its already past 7pm when we leave the beach, konting videoke, then Sir Deej informed us that the dinner will be serve at exactly 7:30pm. So I went back at the cottage para magbanlaw while Jen is waiting for me (she is talking to her love, Alex.. hehehe)

Badtrip kasi nung lumabas kami ni Jen tapos na lahat cla mag-dinner and worst, umuulan! good thing may payong cla ate Edna (isa sa mga crew sa resort) kaya nakatawid kami papunta dun sa kainan ng hindi nababasa...

After the dinner we just go back to the room para magpahinga... Jen and I do our usual chikahan. Then hindi ko namalayan nakatulog na pala ako...

Its past 6am when i woke up (good thing nagising ako ksi c Tadz kukunan ako ng pic ng tulog... pagtripan ba ako?! hehe)

Tapos labas kmi ng room para mag-coffee (the others ordered Hot Choco), then lots of pic and chikahan while waiting for our breakfast...

Sarap ng breakfast namin! AHHH superb! sogbu na naman (sarap ng Tocino and Daing na Bangus!)

Afterwards, ligo ulit!!! sadness kasi hindi ko masyado na-enjoy yung pool kasi required na naka-swimsuit ka, bawal ang shirt and short ampf! kaya nagpunta na lang me sa beach para mag-swim... sarap kasi medyo malakas yung alon...

Then 'round 11am, Jen and I prepared our things (12nn kasi ang check out) so as Mami Sarah.
tapos kwentuhan kami while waiting for our Lunch...

We leave the resort 'round 1:30pm Sunday. then we head at the Subic Freeport para bumili ng pasalubong. When we get there we saw Team Anne, I'm so shocked and Excited bec i never expected that we will meet there... hehehe

I bought chocolates for my pamangkins then we ate Shawarma (accdg to Mami Sarah and Mcoy sarap ng shawarma dun! well... they are correct! YUM! YUM! YUM!)

Afterwards, hinatid namin si Ferdz sa Dau (kasi uuwi pa xa ng Baguio... wow bilib ako sa u Sir!) nag-stop over muna kami sa LakeShore, nakakatawa kasi while me, mcoy, sarah, tadz, vitoy, ferdz, and coach ron is ngkwe-kwentuhan sa labas ng van. a foreigner (that i met at the women's CR) approach us and have a small talk, when he ask us if we will just go to the beach or will head back to manila, nobody have the guts to answer its like we are all lutang! so i answer the guy then after the guy left ang lakas ng twanan namin! Imagine sa call center nag-work hindi masagot ang kano. (HAHAHA pagtawanan ba ang mga sarili?!) Ang sakit talaga ng tiyan ko nun kakatawa!!!

Well, to make the long story short the outing was AMAZING! ang saya! (sayang coach shei, di ka nakasama...) lots of mem'ries and the bonding... WOW!

Happy Birthday BEE!!!

Afterwards, the others came in (charlie, jen, tadz, coach shei, jarmie & rain with jersey)...

T-REX TEAM BUILDING @ LEMERY, BATANGAS

2007-11-26T12:23:00.000-08:00

yeah this is it! after i spent my birthday with my siblings... here i am celebrating my birthday with my former team(this team is really close to my heart aside from the team where am at right now!)...

who else,TEAM REX!

i woke up around 4:45 am to prepare my things when i received a txzt msg from gelai stating that there is an icky who wants to join.. at first i want to back out since i know that it will ruin everything as in EVERYTHING!!!

but still, since that they are the reason why i take a VL from work i said i'll still go..(bahala na!)
so i went to the office to finish my phonetym (since wala pa talaga akong fonetym for the week!).. when i went there everyone is not in the mood so i was very worried thinking that the Team Building will become unsuccessful...

gelai and i talked about the icky thingy, then decide not to join if the icky will join. then during my fontym i notice that coachie is very mad and i heard that he will not join anymore! i was soooo bothered thinking what's the problem(though i already had a hint what is the main reason)... so i talked to coachie and asked what's the prob, he told me nothing to worry.. so i continue my fontym... afterwards around 11am we packed our things para sa pagpunta sa batangas (the team building held in LEONOR Beach Resort in Lemery, Batangas)...

while we are on the road i'm thinking of talking to coach(because froi told me that the reason why he don't want to join is because of me!) my God sobrang bigat talaga ng feeling ko nung nsa byahe kami, good tthing nyanin, gelai, yen, jamill, and berna are there to cheer me up(since na kami yung magkakasama sa sasakyan)...

ang saya nga kasi c berna gusto makita yung bulkang taal so we had a stop over pa sa tagaytay para magpapicture.. ahehehe

around 4:00pm we arrive in Leonor Beach, pagdating namin inayos na namin ung gamit namin then we check the place...

afterwards, joel make yaya to play volleyball since that its been 6 years since the last time that i play volleyball, i'm so excite to join!(badtrip nga lang ksi puro ako sablay! ahehehe... nakakahiya tuloy)

i saw dennis g. played volleyball and he's so good! as in napa wow ako.. (ang galing nya mag-block ng ball!)
well, c aepol ang lakas mang-asar! actually aepol make a scene wherein he rolled on the sand... (ang sakit ng tyan ko kakatawa kasi he's waiting for someone fall on the sand! yun pala xa pala gagawa nun! ahehehe)

well, playing volleyball is such a great time, then coachie together with team Ron arrive around 6pm...

I gathered too much guts to talk to coach to clarify everything, i explain my side and he also explain his side then he talked to gelai and yen...Good thing everything went well... whew!
after the heart to heart, everyone are happy!(GOOD THING!)

after dinner coach asked for a program, so mami gelai starts the program, we are so excited since coach rex don't have any idea that we have something for him... before we gave our present we gave coach a small message(since this is the last team building with him... sadness)kuya froi started then followed by the others, coach rex became so emotional to the point the he cried!(i actually he cried on the entire time that we're giving him message... ahehehe) then its my time to give the message, actually i dunno what i'm going to say since it was an impromptu... i just find myself crying while hugging coachie, because i can't hide my sadness, because coach rex is my friend, my mentor and my adviser while i'm still an agent... we already have our ups and downs but still we remain as friends.. that's why coach rex is really close here sa heart ko...(love you coachie!)

then after the presentation with coach, i was so surprised because they shout "OY! C ANGELA NAMAN!!!" then yen blinfolded me... i have mixed emotions, i dunno and i can't explain what i'm feeling at that very moment (i'm tense, excited, so happy, basta!) then when they removed it i was so shocked because all of them holding flowers... coachie gave me the first one then asking for a dance (hahaha i just blurted "F&^% ano 'to cotillon? ang baduy!" then i'm laughing out loud!) actually.

i really don't know what will i say i'm so overwhelmed and running out of words to say.. then followed by the others(i'm also surprised because coach ron and kuya mac is also included!)then afterwards coach hand me another rose and ask that if i will not dance then dapat sasayaw ako sa last... its just so happen that its aepol! i'm so nahihiya for myself coz i really don't know how to dance! then aepol just make a small dance step then hand me the last flower! after that they gave a cake (its a black forest from Bread talk)... the cake is sooo sarap (YUM!) since the chocolate that they use is dark chocolate (my favorite!)...

i'm so happy! believe me i'm so happy the entire night..i dunno how will i thank T-REX for the surprise that they gave to me! i was so surprised!

after that, the drinking session started.. i only took one shot of FUNDADOR then after that i stopped (since i'm not in the mood to drink!)... so what i did is to make chika with the group!(hehehe) the next day, we decide to go to beach with gelai, yen, papi, nerio, nyanin and berna... the beach is shallow since its morning but the waves are big so what we did is we wait for big waves then nagpapatangay kami sa alon... we have so much fun in the beach(lalo na kapag naalala ko yung expression ni ninya! ahehehehe)then afterwards, nagbabad nman kami sa pool!(nakaktuwa c berna kasi first time nya na makagitna sa pool.. ahehehe)

grabe! we spent so much fun in batangas! then around 2:30pm our service came and its time to say goodbye to the place...

all i can say that its the best team building that we had! i just hope that this one will happen again... this team building with coach rex...
hayyy!! coachie, i will miss you promise... but i know you'll be back! and by that time i hope we will still have this great time together with the team!VON VOYAGE COACHIE!!! mwahhh!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGIE!!!

2007-10-20T07:09:00.000-07:00

A good friend, an A-1 student, a good daughter, a sister....

that is jee ann... i met her way back in college from small talk we build friendship. We apply together as a student assistant in our school... from there, our bond become stronger...

we've been together for more than 4 years, we build dreams together...

when we finished college, we part ways, never heard from her for a long time...

last time we talked is last Oct 15 2007, the regular kamustahan and all... after that I never heard anything from her, till the news break it...

jhing was gone, she is one of the victims of the Glorietta Bombing happened last Oct. 19 2007...

at first i never believe that its true, i thought it was just a bluff...

i thought they just have the same name as hers....

then i start receiving txt msgs askin' if the news is true, actually i can't answer them, because i don't know the real deal...

so i called one of our friend. from him, i confirmed it... its true, she is gone...

i was shocked, i don't know what will i react, its so sudden... out of many people why she?!

i dunno what will i say about what happen. i'm so sad but we need to face the fact that she is gone...

... she is in a better place, where there is no hurt, no sadness... where she can find eternal peace...

JHING, wherever you are... i want you to know that we will miss u... very much!

till we see each other again...

Baguio Trip (Excited ka na ba?!)

2007-10-16T15:20:00.000-07:00

Wow! at last i already created a blog re: this trip... (ang tagal ko na ring balak i-post 'to kaya lang ang daming nangyari...)

Well, going back. Thinking of what happen on this barkada trip, one thing to describe it: SUPERB!

We go to Baguio last Oct. 5 2007, we leave manila very excited at exactly 2:00pm with Joel, Yen, Gelai, Lloyd (Gelai's bf and my good friend), and kikay (don't ask who is kikay, ok?!)... It's a very long journey because we arrive at Baguio at around 8:30pm...

It was so cold and we are all excited. The excitement arises when we found out that there is a smoke came out in our mouths everytime we speak (oh diba?! akala ko sa states ko lang mae-experience un! hehehe)...

First thing we do is to look for a place to stay. We found A.J Penthouse (it's along Leonardwood St), the place is nice (the room can accommodate 6-8 person...) and the restroom is so clean (good thing)... I never expect that the place is so nice and relaxing because before, mami gel and I thinking of some creepy apmt in baguio... (good thing wala naman nakakatakot ksi mamatay ako! nyay!)...

So after we check-in, we just leave our things there then we head off to the "plaza" to look for a place to eat... while we are looking for a resto, we saw the SITEL's office, we are planning to take a picture of it but ended up not to do so because we are so hungry na... we end up spending our dinner at Sizzling Plate Baguio...

WOW! the foods are so masarap and the servings are good for 2 people... I ordered Liempo and believe me, hindi ko xa naubos as in sobrang laki ng serving...

then the others ordered roasted chicken, pork barbeque, and sisig (and yes! before i forgot their soup is soooo masarap! mmmm)... we are all feel bloated afterwards.... (Burp!) then we head back to the penthouse to rest for the next day agenda...

Oct. 6 2007

I woke up around 8am(sarap matulog.. lamig!), its rainy morning, so we just let the rain pass then we head to plaza again for our breakfast, so we went to MAMI's... its just like a carinderia but the food is great i ordered tapsilog and goto (oh db heavy breakfast?!) then after that we went to Our Lourdes Grotto...

... and i'm telling you, i hate stairs i really do! that's why joel, yen, and mami gel are laughing at me because we need to climb the stairs to reach the grotto...

so i have no choice but to follow.. I want to laugh of myself because i'm so napapagod na but i still want to climb (actually i can't move my legs na beause of pagod)... so i try to pass by on the kiosks near the grotto i look for some silvers and their goodies... i even call lloyd to accompany me on checking silver accessories... then we head back to follow the others. (good thing i found a shortcut so we don't need to use the stairs! brilliant!hehehe) I uttered a short prayer...

then took some pictures (thanks to the camera phones, we are able to take pics since that we do not have a digicam)...

Next stop, IBAY's.

Saya! because they have 50% off on their accessories, i bought 2 rings and a pair of earrings for my sister, yen bought necklace with a letter "Y" pendant... saya talaga! then we go to palengke to buy umbrella since its raining.. then we head to the strawberry farm that is located to La Trinidad

... unfortunately because of the storm the strawberry field doesn't look good.. so pinagtyagaan na lng namin yung isang bunga ng strawberry at least remembrance na nagpunta kami...ahehe

then Bells Church...

I found out that during Chinese New Year the Bell Church is at its busiest when many local and foreign Chinese tourists come to Bell Church to pray. From afar, you already know that it is a place for Chinese meditation. Although we are not a Taoist or Buddhist, we come to visit the Bell Church whenever I go to Baguio for some quiet meditation. The whole place is very quiet, and you won’t hear anyone uttering a single word. Those who wish to say something speak in a hushed tone so as not to interrupt the people praying. There are two dragons atop the entrance, and between them is a bell. The grounds are intricately landscaped, full of lush gardens and colorful flowers. There is a huge temple in the middle of the garden, and smaller pagodas scattered across the grounds. There is a lotus and fish pond, where you can drop a coin and make a wish. The dominant colors here are green (because of the plants) and red (because of the buildings and arches). A local said that there’s fortune teller in one of the Pagodas, but we have never seen him. The fortune teller is a priest of the temple, and for a fee he will tell you about your future. Taking pictures in the grounds is fine, but once you go inside the main temple you have to turn off your cell phone and you can’t take photos of the altar. A festival that I have never had the chance to see is the Lantern Festival. The local said that lanterns are lit and carried by children in a parade. The Lantern Festival is celebrated during Chinese New Year.

Syempre after we visit the church, picture picture na.. hehehe.

Then, we went to Burnham Park to look for a place to eat.. i dunno what's the name of the food stall but their bulalo taste good (obviously, i ordered bulalo for lunch.) We ordered it and share it with joel, then mami gelai share her food with Lloyd then yen ordered something that looks like sisig and share it with us..hehehe then after we ate our lunch punta naman kami ng Burnham Park para mamasyal...

and i'm tellin you its soooo cold! we are planning to ride a boat but decided not to because of the wind...(duwag kami weh!)

we also visit the sikat na sikat the Ukay-Ukay there, (i bought a bag and a jacket for me and my sis!).... since that the day is still young, we decide to visit "The Mansion",

unfortunately, our tour guide, Joel forgot the place so medyo nalagpas kmi.. ahehe... good thing the gate is open so we got an opportunity to enter and took a picture with the mansion on the background, we even ask the guard to take a picture so that all of us will have a souvenir...

then we went to SM Baguio, I found out that the mall do not have an air con since its open air (cool!), since its our last destination for the day and we are all tired, we decide to buy pizza (from Pizza Hut) for dinner. Then Joel treat us a botlle of tequila then we head off back to the penthouse to take some rest... after we ate our dinner, we start our drinking session...

they use salt and calamansi(opt for lemons)... unfortunately i don't like the taste, and because i'm so tired after 3 shots i gave up... They are calling me KJ pa nga because i'm the only one who did not join the session,... and yeah! i sleep early.. hehehe

Oct. 7, 2007 we are still in Baguio! sunny morning! WOW! we are so excited because the weather is sooo fine! so we make ourselves ready to attend sunday mass at Baguio Cathedral...

First time i visit the church so i make a wish(i dunno, but i usually make a wish when i visit a church for the first time because they say that ur wish will come true if you do it...) after the mass, picture picture xempre then i bought a rosary for myself..

afterwards we ate somewhere near the Plaza (i forgot the name of the place...)for our breakfast. We even ate ice cream afterwards (di ba astig?! baguio tapos ice cream...)

then we went to Mine's View Park...

there we see lots of goodies best for pasalubongs... i even txted kris because he is asking me for a headband (miss u 'tol!), unfortunately no color of his choice is available.

so i just bought peanut brittle, choco flakes, and lengua for pasalubongs. then i also bought keychains as my pasalubong for my team...

then we go to Good Shepherd Convent...

...while we are walking going to the place (since its located near mine's view ) we saw a pretty vintage car! (i can't help myself, so a took a pic of it)

I thought before that Good Sheperd is just a kiosk that sells goodies that was made by the nuns, its only there i found out that the store is inside the convent compound... (i bought their famous Ube Jam and it sooo masarap talaga!) the view on the compound is amazing daming puno and flowers good for picture picture! (xempre hindi ko pinalagpas nagpapicture ako! hehehe) i can say that the Romana's Peanut Brittle and the Mika'san choco flakes are the best.. sarap! we dropped by to Burnham Park again after since joel promise me that he will treat me the famous burger in baguio which i can say that its really masarap for P15 you'll have a burger with Tomato,Lettuce and i forgot the other one (san ka pa db?!)...

... and only in baguio i experience the binatog with milk and sugar! (kakaiba db?!). sobrang busog kami pagkatapos! panalo talaga fud trip namin!

then after that we went back to our place to pack our things... we check-out and leave our things to the frontliner of the penthouse... then we went to Crystal Cave.

Crystal Cave is the farthest place that we visit in baguio, at first we are wondering how to go there since that there are lots of houses build within the area, with the help of the natives we found out how to reach the cave... at first mami gel and i afraid to enter the cave since its sooo dark inside, but with the help of the tour guide we enter the cave safely... during our trip inside the cave one of the eldest tour guide discuss the unique things inside the cave (she also have a good sense of humour, and its hard for me to give a healthy laugh...)

we took a few shots inside the cave... in addition the Crystal Cave adventure is the best! its a very wonderful experience... afterwards we went to Camp John Hay.

Overall, the whole place in Camp John Hay is awesome, and the houses... WOW! they are all nice! (how i wish i owned one of those houses... *sigh*) its a long walk but the experience was great!

then we went back to the penthouse to get our things and make ourselves ready to go back in manila...

All in all, our Baguio experience was great! i will surely miss the cold air and the beautiful environment (*sigh*)... I can't wait to go back in this place!

We will miss you...

2007-10-12T03:01:00.000-07:00

There is one day in my life when i met a person that is very true...

Before i thought that he is pasaway and hindi ko makakasundo, but i was very wrong because this guy is so kwela! xa yung nagpasaya sa akin kasama ng team jezer... kaibigan totoo, kahit kelan hindi ko nsabi na nang-iwan xa...

... till Oct 9,2007...

i was shocked, i cried because i don't want to believe that he is gone, iniwan na nya kami. first time nyang nang-iwan pagkakaiba hindi na xa babalik...

Kris, kung nasan ka man tandaan u ma-miss kita at ng buong team.. wala na kaming astig and makulit at malambing na teammate na dreads ang buhok!

till we meet again... in heaven!

I would have known that you had to go.

But so suddenly, so fast.

And how could it be, all the sweet memories

Would be all,all that wed have left.

Now that youre gone, everyday I go on.

But lifes just not the same.

Im so empty inside , and my tears I cant hide.

But Ill try to face the pain.

Though Im missing you

Ill find a way to get through.

Living without you.

cause you were my brother, my srenght, and my prode.

Only God may know why, stll I will get by.

there were so many things

That we could have shared

If time was on our side.

Now that youre gone, I can still feel you near.

So Ill smile with every tear I cry.

How sweet, were the losses to spare.

But Ill wait for the day,When Ill see you again...

Elliott Madness

2007-09-30T10:06:00.000-07:00

Its been a couple of days now since the last time he visited and performed here in the philippines, but for me all the mem'ries are still fresh..
it all start when i heard his music "Wait for You" aired on the radio, actually i never thought it was Elliott from AI until i saw the music vid, my eyes won't believe its him because of the big physical changes... OMG! he's so hot with the curly hair and all!!!
then i heard that he will have a several mall shows here in the philippines, then i said to myself "this is it!"...

Sept. 21: Elliott Live in Trinoma

I was so excited to see him in person! so i txted my friend to accompany me in watching, fortunately she told me that she is also coming with some friends since that she is also an Elliott fan... (i'm so lucky!) so we decide to meet at the mall since she will have other errand that day... i arrive there at 5:30pm since the show will start at 7:00pm... i went directly at the activity center and there i saw AARON (Elliott's percussionist, at first i thought it was elliott because of the resemblance.. hihih) and RUSELL (Elliott's guitarist) then after few minutes ELLIOTT appears on the stage... my heart skips a beat when i saw him sings a few lines from his song... after that i immediately txt my friend telling that Elliott's already at the mall... then i receive a call from my friend telling me to go down (since i'm on the 2nd Flr of the mall) because she have a ticket so that we can sit at the front part of near the stage (WOW!)...
so we look for a good place to sit and there i met other people who's so into elliott...
It hits 7:00pm then the stage went dim then the annoucer introduce Elliott.. everyone is screaming and very excited to see him... (NOTE: i'm excited but i'm not screaming...) then he start singing (i think 8 songs including Wait for You)... then after his last song "A Song for You" he bid goodbye but the audience starts screaming for more, his band already went down and he's stuck on the stage, he sings Moody's mood for love in accapella, and i'm fascinated... really, i'm very fascinated!!!

Sept. 22 and 23: Elliott Live in Glorietta and Market Market respectively

unfortunately i never got the oppotunity to watch the shows in glorietta and in market! market! since that i need to go to work... =(... so i just make myself contented watching the captured videos in youtube.com *sigh*

Sept. 28: Elliott Live in Alabang Town Center

This is his last day in the philippines *sadness*... so me any my friend Gel decide to watch Elliott for the last time, unfortunately we're not able to went there in the morning para makakuha ng ticket but its okay we just decided na lang na pumunta kahit wla basta makapanood lang.. so we went to ATC (Note: First time naming makakapunta dun!) and we arrived at 5:30 pm, so same routine we head to the activity center and look for a nice spot... (actually the place is not good since that its too small)

so me and my friend decide to stay near the backstage since na malapit din xa sa stage... (actually we are planning to check the mall while the show isn't starting but we preferred to stay na lang because we are afraid na mwalan kami ng pwesto...) while we are waiting we saw the list nung kakantahin nya the entire show... nakakatawa nga kasi para kaming mga ewan dun.. hehehe

then same routine, at 6:30pm the stage went dim then AARON and RUSSEL went to the stage.. we are so shocked because the door of the backstage is just a few inches from us... then the announcer introduced ELLIOT then everyone start screaming... me i'm just waiting for him to go out from the backstage (but actually my knees are already shaking...) after a few secs he went out and he waved to the audience. (My heart skips so fast because he is so near from us)... then the show starts he sings, we sings, we scream (Yeah! i screamed at the top of my lungs and i don't care on everybody! hehehe) and we are all happy...

after the show we meet Gel's friend, Jo and Mel (Miss u guys! hope to see u soon!)... have a small chit chat and all...

actually the whole show is great! its worth remembering... can't wait for next year, because Elliott will have a big concert here.. YES! a concert and i will never let it pass...
