Tagging Along

Dec.17

I was supposed to go to my block’s Christmas Party in Gilmore, but they said it’s not going to push thru, so I thought we weren’t goin’ to have one. They just changed the venue lang pala. So, I decided to tag along with myBaby instead. He was going to help his parents check out the sites of their catering services in East Ortigas.

But before we did, we went to Mizuno (eating Lapid’s chicharon on the way..hehe) to get his all white Bombonera Futsal shoes!

So we all met up in Bistro109 in Pateros then headed to East Ortigas Mansions, where Bistro is in-charge of the kitchen. Next, we visited Mayfield Park where it is currently being developed…almost done. It has beautiful Asian style living condominiums…more on Japanese interiors by DMCI.

Year Book Photo Shoot

Finally, the excitement & anxiousness is over!

Earlier, i had my yearbook pictures taken in school. it was so convenient for all of us, coz the make-up artists did well with our hair & make-up, & there were ladies helping us change costumes :) the photographer also lit our mood to let out our picture perfect smiles :) they were all supportive all in all.

Pictures taken:
1. w/ toga
2. formal
3. business attire
4. creative shot...cool! :)

Kinney brought her Pitbull, Bodi along...cool! :)
All of us were so cute in our creative poses! can't wait to get my yearbook!

I also had my Futsal team picture taking.

Dog show by the bay

Dec.11

It was my first time to attend a dog show live, & it was my first time to walk by the bay along Roxas Blvd. it's totally different now, but still so many people, esp. couples hangin' out.

Some of the Barkadings met up there. it was both to see Kinney again after so long(except for me ofcourse :p) & Cams birthday get-together (her bday was on the 12th...she's technically the "bunso" of the kada but really the "mommy" of the kada at heart...hehehe!)

So both Collins & Blash won in their respective categories, which was great! todo support to them & to the SBK!!! :) so congratulations!!!

Catering in UPD

Dec.10

I accompanied myBaby to UPD, School of Architecture grand reunion using their new Starex! :) i enjoyed the ride while watching tv...hehehe!

Anyway, when we got there, people were just eating & talking. then after a few bottles of beer & wine...people were dancing to the music of some band, jumping and shouting like crazy! hahaha! some photographer was also taking pictures of everyone then flashing 'em on the big screen.

architects goin' wild :)

It was kinda fun just watching yuppies & older people having fun and dancing to old music...hehehe!

All About Anne

3 beautiful write-ups for me :)

It seems as if this girl sprouted from a smile. Her cheerful disposition makes her a wonderful delight to be around with. More than that, Anne's innermost core exudes simplcity as she finds joy and beauty in the slightest of things. Her capabilities encompass both the academics and sports. She is an efficient multitasker, admirably maintaining a prductive balance among being a diligent student, talented futsal player, and most importantly, a person whom anyone can approach without any ounce of hesitation and with complete trust.

*************************************************************************************
*************************************************************************************

If I were to describe Anne with one popular line, I’d have to go with “the baby is now a lady.” This young lady was once a very sporty girl who did not really care about anything else but winning the game. Yes, it is true. This girl is really competitive. Her competitiveness tends to bring out the best in herself and in others. This is probably the reason why so many people gravitate towards her and would like her to be their friend.

Now, this girl grew up to be one of the finest women a person can meet in their entire life. She’s the girl-next-door type with a touch of class and elegance. Now, what more can you ask for?

All I can say, if you are looking for a winner. No doubt, you’re looking for this girl. Not only is she a winner in her own right, she’s a winner of life.

*************************************************************************************
*************************************************************************************

Anne is the type of person that you would like to be with. You could easily get along with her. In school, you seldom see her alone because she’s always got some company by her side. Well, that’s definitely the reward for being friendly! When it comes to fashion, this girl is much updated. Shopping is her weakness. Besides being fashionable, she is also sporty since she is part of the futsal team. Anne is very outgoing. She enjoys traveling especially to the beach.

Even if she is the youngest in the family, there are a lot of responsibilities entrusted to her already. Whenever given a task, she remains patient and perseveres to get it done as soon as possible. You can definitely rely on this girl! Though she can be busy at times, she still devotes time to talk to the Lord and thank him for all the blessings.

Poems

I'm feeling poetic today. so here are some compositions...

Like a Book

I'm a book.
Like my cover?
Wait 'til you look inside.

The real story is in the chapters of my life.
Open the pages and you'll get to know the real me.
It takes time...have patience.

*************************************************************************************
*************************************************************************************

This is the story of myBaby & me

Admired but overlooked.
Befriended me.
Pleased yet ignored.
Rejected you.

I turned as you halted.
Thought I'd be followed.
Didn't see you behind me.

Out of sight...
lost, dazed, confused.
Didn't know where the road was goin'.

Out of nowhere,
you appeared.
Saved me from my loneliness.

I said, "Come, let's take the road together."
You declined,
yet took my hand.

Complexities.
The road not taken.

Free spirits.
Led to the fields...
into the dark woods.
Brought me to paradise.

I love you hon!

*************************************************************************************
*************************************************************************************

For myBaby...

Oh Sweet Reverie!

I can’t sleep.
I can’t stop thinking about you.
I like the way you make me feel special.
It makes me smile just thinking about you,

Remembering every inch of your body,
your smile,
the creases of your cheeks,
your eyes.

I remember how close are bodies were,
breathing gently,
kissing my ears softly…it tingles,
swaying to the music of the wind.

It feels wonderful!
We’re dancing on the clouds.
It’s like touching the heavens above.
It’s surreal…ecstasy!

Full of love,
full of promises we can’t await.
We locked our hands and made our lips touch…
it weakens my knees.

I want this to be forever,
but alas I wake in somber.
In the faint of dawn I wonder,
was it real or just a dream?

Yet every morning of everyday
I wake up to this bittersweet reverie,
Then I see you standing…
waiting.

One touch of your hand
I know that it’s real
It was then I realized
You have made my dream come true.

This one's written by a lovely friend...

~Addicted to Love~

An image full of strength
I slowly see fade away on the mirror
It grasps to be seen, to be visible
As if holding on to the peak of life
But as she knew, she failed
No matter how hard she tries to escape it,
She simply can't
Addicted to love, addicted to pain,
That is what she is
Her once beautiful innocent image
Will forever be gone
She stares back at me one last time
Shamefully, she cries
Shamefully, she admits
Love captured her once again

this is my trucker cap! :)

Shopping and more...

I looove shopping! i don't go to the mall often but when Christmas season comes and all these bazaars start showing up...expect me to visit one of them...bargaining!!!

When i shop, i go all out...well at least 'till my budget can handle it. my eyes just get bigger and my radar on high mode! the good thing about this is that i don't only get to buy stuff for myself...i also think about others too! (well after i buy those stuff i really fall inlove with & can't stop thinking about) haha!

Earlier i went to St. James bazaar in Ayala Alabang. the stalls were awesome, but damn...it was sooo hot! hot like summer! so i have to thank Mos for bearing the heat & perspiration, and accompanying me, doing all the rounds in the bazaar :) thanx hon!

And as promised, he gave me my trucker cap!!! Yay to me! Remember the pink+brown trucker cap? well, this one comes close...it's a pink Roxy trucker cap!!! no brown color...i'll be the brown to that! haha!
Bought some other neat stuff too!

Boy, were we exhausted afterwards!
Before goin' to the bazaar we went Starex hunting! well not exactly. we just had to check out one in Hyundai, Alabang. Mos & his family are upgrading their van. It looks really good! this one is 2nd hand though. but it's well maintained...it has a tv/dvd and the thermometer thing for clubs. (i didn't quite get what they were talking about, so there) hehe :) He picked me up early this morning, both of us skipping breakfast. so damn! we really starved! fortunately, Mos' parents came to check out the van themselves. they treated us in Pancake House after! so i got to order my favorite taco! yumeh!

Mos is really excited about the van...coz he's the "driver" of the family, and this one is automatic! what a relief for him! The good thing about this is that they're getting it tomorrow! so yay to mos! hope you can sleep tonight and stop thinking about the van! hehe :)

I was reading my e-mail tonight, & my godfather sent me his usual "Daily Bread" messages. It really caught my attention 'coz it was so perfect for this day. (I only started reading his "Daily Bread" messages yesterday from the time he's been sending it to me for almost 1 year & ++months!) The lines at the end strike me, and it goes:

Our heart is made for God alone,
For only He can satisfy;
But oh how much we yearn for things
That in the end are but a lie.

Within each one of us there is a God-shaped vacuum that only God can fill.

So there! I've been thinking about shopping for the past few weeks 'til maybe the holiday season ends. I was thinking...the more i go to bazaars, the more i want to buy stuff for myself. it's true, i can't be satisfied w/ the clothes, bags, shoes, etc. It really got me thinking 'coz many people lost their homes after the typhoon last thursday, and here i am just shopping for myself...thinking of myself!
how bad am i?

Good thing it's never too late to help out. i'll sure be donating some goods, and ofcourse i'll be praying for them. i'm sure you will too. :)

i want a pink+brown trucker cap!

Hang out w/ Mela

NOV. 20


model girl Mela!

Man, i miss this girl so much!!! she's been really busy being a dl in DLSU & busy as batch rep. for her course :) nax! (am i right w/ that?). And i've been busy w/ projects in school myself. our scheds just don't meet. i promised her pa naman that i would spend some time w/ her during my sembreak, but wasn't able to 'coz of ACM.

Anyway, she invited me to watch a movie at her place or hang out in Westgate or Figaro. so she,Mike&Chari picked me up & ended up just hangin' out in her place like old times :)

Young girls in their innocence
Friendship and experiences formed.
Pain and laughter shared
Through the years of winding road.

It was just yesterday I saw
A familiar face outside the window.
As time flies by
Life moves on.

Moments have passed
Yet the memories live on.

Girl Dates

NOV. 19

This day is pretty memorable for me. I had a bunch of girl dates...oooh! :p

Kinney, Tookie & i went to podium after class to check out something for our project in E-Commerce. Tookie went home early, so i was left w/ Kinney. I was gonna wait for Moses' text that he was goin home from the hospital (he was confined overnight 'coz of viral tonsils) :( so while waiting, Kinney & i did window shopping & had our lunch date in NYPD :)

After lunch, we bought some seedless spicy thai sampaloc as pasalubong for my mom & moses' mom :) mmm...mmm! my favorite! sweet ko noh!? :) hehe
So i brought Kins home & went straight to Makati to visit myBaby who was still recovering.

Anyway, when i got home that night Cams called me up to say that she,Danie&Ina were in Figaro,Posadas. It was Danie's "good-bye make up" for Ina 'coz she wasn't able to join us in Puerto Azul. So, they picked me up & stayed in Figaro...did some bonding & said our lil' good-byes to Ina (there's the finale "surprise" good-bye) :) awww!

Puerto Azul

NOV. 13-14

After ACM, i go straight to Puerto Azul after a few hours...time to relax! it was really for Ina's despedida (she left wednesday morning =( *sob*sob*).
It's really nice there...love the fresh air! love the beach! i took some time out to enjoy the company of my long time highschool friends, and ofcourse myBaby during the last week of sembreak! :)

it was funny 'coz we were all in a tight budget, so we had to sneak in a lot of food in the cottage!(food & drinks aren't allowed in the cottages of puerto azul). we hid all the food insider our bags, then the guys had to get the drinks during the night...and so when it was time for booze, the guys did their best to hide the beer & look innocent. unfortunately, Mike was too obvious for the security guard...hahaha! they ended up drinking the beer in the parking lot! take note, the beer wasn't cold...eeek!

myBaby & i had a stroll on the beach that night & we saw a shooting star! cool! it was moses' 1st time ever to see one! hehe :) it was special 'coz it had extra 2 seconds before it disappeared. hahaha!

moi!
