Despedida at year-end party rolled into one! Wala kasing budget masyado kaya ganon.

Ako na may separation anxiety. Hindi talaga mag sink-in ang lahat ng kaganapan until finally pagpasok ko eh wala na si Carler.

Missed the kainan sa office kasi well.. Ako na late. Feeling panauhing pandangal. Buti na lang very good ang mga tao at pagdating ko may binalot for me: sangkaterbang spaghetti, isang malaking tumpok ng chicken, at ISANG pirasong shanghai (alam na ang best-seller).

Labanan sa biritan talaga. Take note, pati mga walang karapatan bumirit (like me!), go lang!

Yung palagi nalang na mas malakas ang mga second voice kesa sa bida!


Kay Micah talaga namin pina-table ang mga bagets. Hahahahaha!

Yung totoo Baby Doll?
 Ang pinaka nakakaloka sa kainan eh may coffee station!

Hindi kailangang painumin bago ipahiya ang sarili sa videoke.

Boss namin. Yes, boss talaga namin.

Bakit nga ngumawa si Zhane?

Naks! Ang tamis!

Ang mga may karapatan kumanta!


"Oo sandali lang tayo dun!"
"Mga 2 or three hours pwede na!"
"Ilang buckets lang."

-- Ang mga kasinungalingang paulit-ulit naming sinasabi pag lalabas. Official uwian time: 3 fucking AM!



Dahil more yosi sa loob, tambay ako sa fire exit no. Fresh air eh tsakal less ingay dahil kesehodang i-raid kami ng mga pulis sa kaingayan, wa pakels talaga sa pagbirit. Akala mo walang ganap sa fire exit? Yan din ang akala ko but I was so wrong!

Hello Sir Paul! Sana mapanood to ng mga trainees mo, alaga, si Ms. A at Sir Armin. Hahahahahaha! This is why you don't want me sober sa mga ganap. Official photographer and taga record ng mga kahihiyan, at your service! Uy joke lang. Secret lang natin to at ng buong company.

P.S. Tongue tied at nabobo talaga ko sa usap na to ha.

Sa uulitin! Sana hindi na dahil sa meron nanamang 'lalaya'. At sana wala nang buwis buhay na pag-uwi. Mga leche.

This one's already SOLD. Oh yeah!

The youngest sister is actually talented. Believe it or not. This is her latest work. 

She'll paint for food! But money is better. WAY better. Lots of paintings scattered around the house, some we use to cover unwanted holes on the walls. 

It's high time we earn money from all the paint, canvass, and shit you waste sister!

The model's not me, by the way. But if you have the guts, she'd gladly do your very first nude painting!

La Luz Resort, San Juan, Batangas

I can't even remember the last time:
my toes touched sand,
the family went out of town (yes, Batangas is so out of town),
I've stayed under the sun for so long.

If it weren't for my sister and her husband, we would never have pushed through with this trip for many reasons I don't want to bore you with. I know they weren't too pleased with how much they spent for the short vacay but they still did anyway. I'm kidding. They're very generous with us.

Getting there was a little bit tricky. Well a tricycle driver tried to trick us. I think there are three bus stations for Batangas in Alabang: Starmall, near Hen Lin (across Starmall), and at South Station. Fare is 90 pesos to Lipa City. Then we went to Robinson's via jeepney. From Robinson's you have two options: jeepney or van. We rented a jeepney for 1,300 pesos. A really good choice! The trip from Lipa to the resort was longer than the trip from Alabang to Lipa!

The first thing my dad wanted to do was sleep on the cabana. Couldn't really blame him.

   Lunch! Forgot to take pictures of what was on the buffet table. Hunger got in the way.

Chicken with pineapple sauce and bagnet! Sweetened bananas and sago. Father was not impressed: "Walang kare-kare o bulalo?"

As the eldest, it's a big relief to know that your younger sisters are with good men. My sisters are not really very feminine or the best examples of being ladies so I'm really happy that they're treated liked a princess by their partners. That's me, what more my mom.

Arkim, Chong, Me, mother, Jewel, and Ronnie

   He was so excited to get in the water!

Best buds. If it's just the two of them. It’s a completely different story when there are others around.

   Well the flip sister of course has a flip boyfriend. Is that so surprising?

I'm pretty sure she's a heavier than Ronnie.

Before you make any conclusions as to how this happened to her, the boyfriend put her there. Well she asked us to put her there, but she dug a hole first then asked us to cover her with sand.

"My precious..."

Julian, mother, Chong, Me, Jewel, and Ronnie

Them: swim all day!

I just know that I can never pose like that. Cheers!

Happy first wedding anniversary to two of my favorite people in the world, Chong and Kimy!

I hope you guys had a blast at Canyon Cove. Congrats Chong for getting that watch you were raving about.

To Kimy,

Thank you for putting up with my sister, for taking care of her, for being patient with all her quirks, and for loving her almost unconditionally. Wala kang masyadong choice eh.

Remember this?

No alcohol for us so we ordered food fit for those who do labor work.

Dear Jamie,

I promise I’ll make you that pasta next time. It was already late when I learned that you were coming in to work!

Anyway, happy 24th! I was hoping we’d celebrate it with the other girls but I remembered how we celebrated it last year so the dinner wasn’t really bad.

I was going to wish for your significant other to take care of you and the babies but I realized that should be automatic and not something any of us should be wishing for. Instead, I wish that you become stronger and more resilient. I also wish that you stick to your standards, keep them high.

Stay bibo and radioactive! We miss you already. Walang attitude sa opis eh.

We love you!

Weeeeeeee! A silver medal!

My mom's idea. Told her that Julian's probably not ready yet and he might take it really bad if he loses. So I refused to enter him in the tournament and didn't pay the fee.
