just senseless laments, ramblings, stories, tales, lies of a true-blue self-absorbed, two-faced, fun-loving badass (irl, she's indeed more than that)

When Canadians rocked PH! --part 2--

So yeah half way of my story. Foolish me for not finishing. Now where was i...

January 6 - Fireworks *snort*

In the morning, they went to Tagaytay for the every first of month trip my gramma does (which i never get to join. Gimme a break they roll before 6am!). So anyway, in the evening instead i promised to join to watch the fireworks *shivers*. I hate that mall!!!

As expected, we never found a decent parking space and ended up stopping at the middle of the road parked 3 lanes from the gutter. How cool was that? Dodging kazillions of people to meet the other half of the convoy, me and Pe insanely walked about (who cares which part of the mall we were) in dire search of his gf's black medium sized purse and starbuko. Lol! He kept on insisting that there is such a joint :P

The next mission was to help Ninoy change his MI3 ipod case *hums MI theme*. Lame, right? Meeeehh he admitted that anyway *guffaws* (Peace, Ninoy! It was really ok :P)

Last but not the least, where to eat??? It was hell looking for a decent place to eat with all those people prancing around the mall. So finally they started the show and people stampeded to have a glimpse of it. We took the opportunity to grab a chair and ended up at a chinese restaurant where the noodles are surprisingly good (oh i miss Thai street noodles).

And then we rolled... wait, where were we parked?? Oh yeah, on the road!

OMG, twas a friggin street parteeeeee!! All we needed was to crank up the stereo and just start the rave. Well we weren't that stupid of course. The then 3-lane parking turned into a road block. There was really no way out. So yeah we ended up watching the fireworks and they were marvelous :)

Talking sense out of them, instead of going to Malate or Baywalk we ended up driving through Evangelista. Voila! Greenbelt it was! As expected, Ice, Bed, Absynth's crowd were zombies. Why can't people party here like they don't care?? *missing Zantika*

January 7 - Antipolo

Antipolo was the hizz! Going there is always been a vacation to me. Meeh, am not gonna blab here about that... let the pictures tell you the stories :)

Did i mention how they always gang up on me??

January 8 - Chillin'

I so love TOSH's chicken parmegiana... can't get enough :) You know what, I can't even remember the details now of what we did that night. Better check the pix instead :P As far as i know, it was really being alcohol-free and be able to grab great coffee with the dudes.

January 9 -Nanay and Tatay's Anniversary

...and i wasn't able to join then for dinner. Well you know, I had to work :( and ATC is not really a stone throw away from GT. Instead, I think I just chilled with the eTel dudes that night and headed straight home.

January 10 -Rockwall Rules!

January 11 - EWcity sucked!

January 12-13 - Mount MANkilling :P

Meeehhh, let the pictures tell all :P

See ya guys in the dozen years!

When Canadians rocked PH!

Today is the day that they go back home. They haven't left the country yet but I believe that they have already boarded and set to fly back to Toronto en route Japan and Chicago. I am already missing those pricks.

January 1 - Welcome Back!

After a decade and a year, Pe, Noy and Earl with their folks landed PH moments before New Year's Day. Hoohaaaa! The two-week vacation has finally started. As expected, It took them ages to get to Manuela, grandparent's home and where they will be bunking. Oh you know, the typical New Year's coundown ceremonies and the juicy shindigs that follow everywhere. All psyched up with plans for the succeeding days, we rushed to Manuela to finally meet them.

OMG, they are huge! Not to mean badly, but indeed they have really grown collosally beefed up. I have already braised myself for that. Nonetheless, I still can't seem to shake off the thought that I, being a couple of months older than them, now looked so tiny and helpless with them around.

In the morning (errrmm... when i was still bumming in front of the TV and watching Happy Feet), they dropped by our place hoping they could catch me sleeping. Wehehe thank gawd I woke up early otherwise my room will be messier!

We had our usual New Year's Day luncheon cum reunion with rounds of wine and projected videoke. This year, though, we had Pe sang (scratch that-- tried singing... tried so hard hehehe peace!) local songs such as Mr. Suave and Sasakyan Kita which sounded awfully hilarious! Us, girls, needless to say were his back-up dancers :P Dinner was at Market Market! Seafood joint where we stuffed ourselves with soooo much food that could last 'til the following day.

January 2 - Batangas

The longest day ever. We woke up so early as advised but ended up setting off before noon because the car won't start. Whew!

We reached the resort dying of hunger (i know, i'm exaggerating) and in dire need of a clean bathroom (remembering that nightmarish gas station bathroom somewhere in the town after Lipa City). I have always loved the feel of beach sand on my feet until that time. Note to self: It's stupid to have a footspa even days before you go to the beach. To aggravate matters, the sand there are aquarium sand (if there is such a thing). My soles hurt!

Despite of that, there are 3 funniest things J's camera captured:

1. Tatay on pink Speedos
2. The horny dog
3. The betlogs taking their photo with Jollibee

Hilarious!

January 3 to January 4 - Subic

Supervised FUN -- that's how we call it. There are so much things to do there (ie. go cart, night life, swing for life, bungee jump... erm, that's too much) but we never did had the chance. One, because we are with the grandparents and they tend to be so cautious (well they are just concerned) ; two, because we don't have J's ride ( read: the official car for the below 30) as "upper management" said we should only bring two cars. Hehe peace! Well, to be fair to them I agree that it was safer that way than to bring 3.

Tita Carolle was so kind to book two 3-bedroom houses. One for us kids and the other for the over 30 :P We were actually imagining ourselves being in one of those reality-tv contest where you are housed in one joint for a certain duration until you get voted out. Guess what, i got voted out first! Haha I was advised to stay with Nanay on the other house across :(

Dinner was in a restaurant with a nice view of the pier (or was it really a pier?) and a funky age-old gigantic fan!


After dinner, we went back to our joint. Packed with local beers and music from J's laptop, us kids just thrashed the joint and spent the night catching up and remiscing the good old days. We finished at 2am and by that time, no one was up to open the door for me and I really don't want to wake up anybody. I went back to the kid's joint and ended up taking the couch instead.

Come morning, breakfast consisted of hotdogs, bread, last night's leftovers, chocolates, kegs of potato chips, egg, and of course the instant pancit canton. Charged with that, the first stop was in the 20 feet water falls.

Awestruck we were when big Earl Jo actually too the plunge! The falls itself is morethan 20 feet high and the puddle was about 20 feet deep as well. He is the only one who had the balls to do it with of course the prissy Ramona :) Yiiihhhiiiiii!! Kidding aside, i personally think what they did was really cool!

Subic's beach is waaaaay better than Batangas'. Didn't enjoy much of the sea as there are no available water activities to do anyway except to swim (which I happen to suck big time). With my ex-vasity jock now big bellied dad Kuya on the team, beach volleyball was the shizz! Surprisingly, Ninoy played really well, too.

The after lunch activity is even nastier. Pepe taught me some yoga moves which i hardly copied... urgh, i really need to lose weight! We threw some sand a bit and then decided to bury Earl. Cool boobies, dude! Woohoo!

El Kabayo hizz came next and a merienda at at the yacht club before we set home.


January 5

Probably exhausted from the trips we had... Friday was dubbed rest day for everyone. Meeehhh not to me at least. I went back to work and then went out with Chip, Neil and Elrond :P Hey, cut me some slack... it was a Friday night!

A messed up project

Yahoo really broke my heart (if i have one) with that email. It really did!

Thanks, boss, for coming to the rescue.

Well, it was my bad... in spite of everything, indeed, its a tough job to manage everyone's expectations. *sigh*

Swinging my badunkadunks up there


Two weeks of irregularity and this is the most awesome thing me and the Betlogs did! Ever!

Never mind the sore and raw fingers and palms, never mind the broken nuts i've caused (newbie handler here), never mind the body aches... I just want to swing my badunkadunks* up there!


WTF is badunkadunks? Let me tell you this:

Keekai: .... i'm like morethan 110 lbs., dude! I really can't go below that with this boobies... it's like 25 lbs. each!
Ninoy: Don't forget your badunkadunks, too!

On compliments and fireworks

What a compliment:

Pagpasensyahan ninyo na lang siya. Because she is beautiful, go ahead and give her the instructions at least twice.

Wahahaha :P


We just watched the Pyro Olympics from the office window. How cool is that? :) Well, ermmm... actually, that just means we are so effin busy we don't even have time to go to Roxas Blvd. to watch. Lame-o!
