Okay so I’m throwing out these entries about my stay here in Silay without any order because I’m lazy and busy like that.

Anyway, I don’t even remember when we went there. We didn’t really have much to do and it was Sir Paul’s last day here so we decided to go on a trip. Well you can’t even call it that since Balay Negrense was like three or four blocks away from where we were staying.

After munching on lots of pizza at Greenoz and drowning on Coke, we headed to Balay Negrense.

The food here was surprisingly good! Great value for your money. The monstrous pizzas back home were usually famous because of their size but the taste isn’t so satisfying. Here, they actually taste great! Thin crust, loaded with toppings, and very affordable.

It was kind of tough taking decent photos since it was too sunny and bright. I got so impatient adjusting my camera’s settings that I just point and shoot.

Dining hall at the second floor.

Creepy clock.

I don’t know what you call this part of the house, but this was at the back.

That’s not a bicycle. It’s a motorcycle.

Wonderful pieces of art made from a single piece of wire. Awesome.

Creepy dolls.

What I really loved about this place was the garden.

They said this is an Acacia. I don’t know anything about trees but this definitely didn’t look anything like the Acacias I’ve seen before. It’s pretty but very creepy at the same time.

They really requested for a “pre-nup” shoot.

My favorite shot

Julian just got home from his month long vacay in Palawan. He was definitely tanner and a tad bit taller. Anyway, he has a blister near his neck that’s almost the size of a five peso coin.

We were talking about this blister one time.

Julian: Bawal daw ako sa malansa sabi ni Mama Baby.

Me: Ah. Bawal daw ang eggs, chicken, at fish.

Julian: My, ano nga yung sour?

Me: Maasim.

Julian: Maalat yung salty di ba?

Me: Yes.

Julian: Ano yung malansa?

Me: *cricket sounds* Di ko alam..

Julian: Ano ba yan. Nag-i-English ka hindi mo alam.

Happy birthday to me!!!

One of the best birthdays I’ve had. I’m not one to make such a fuss about my birthday but friends and family made me really feel like it mattered.

I suck at saying thanks, so … Thank you!

I got these really early. Like what I said before, my sisters know me too well. I never thought I’d appreciate a purple bag before. Also, I love pink but I have never owned hot pink shoes ever.

I am not a morning person so I wasn’t exactly thrilled when my mom was screaming like crazy at around 7AM that I get my ass up because it’s my freaking birthday and the dad prepared breakfast for me. Not to mention that she was armed with a camera at 7 AM and she won’t stop taking my pictures when I’m at my loveliest state. Oh and yeah, she wrote a birthday greeting on Facebook exposing all of my deepest darkest (chos!) secrets, too.

Gifts from Myda and Micah! I love that Micah bothered wrapping it and leaving a note that I should probably wait until my birthday when she knows I wouldn’t be able to stop myself.

You have any idea what this could be? Cutest and girliest thing I own now.

Surprise! Well the whole thing was caught on video. But we have the worst videographer. Ever. Yes Ta Din, accept it.

I had to pull off some stunts before I was able to get these! So sweet.

Yay! Events team! I was usually the one preparing surprises and stuff but you did a great job hiding this whole shebang from me. I was completely clueless. (L-R: Micah, Trish, Ta Din, Myda, Yuwan)

And the cake! Good thing they remembered to leave some for me.

Pre-birthday lunch. So full!

Again, thank you so much for making this year’s celebration very special.

Here’s a little something the girls did. Can’t say I hate but hey, it’s the thought that counts.

Happy birthday to me!

After ______ years, nagkaroon na din ng out of town chever! Spell biglaan? April 30 ang lakad, pinagusapan kahapon lang. Hindi masyadong prepared ang pagkatao ko plus kagagaling lang namin sa swimming, pero dahil baka di na maulit muli, go!

Boss: Sinong gusto sumama bukas? May lechon, pagkain, alak, at sasakyan.

Me: Wow. Lechooooon!

*Turns out wala palang lechon. Boo.

Anyway, tinubuan muna kame ng ugat bago nakaalis ng opis. Ambusy ni sir kasi. Nood muna Korean something about dads and their kids, sangkaterbang selfie, kwentuhan, naupuang bubble gum, at kung anu-ano pa bago finally pumunta sa resort.

Pagdating, kain ulit kahit na kumain na ng pagkadami sa office pa lang. I swear para kong may bulate sa katakawan.

Eto yung matitino pa sila.

And! Eto na after maligamgam na tubig sa pool, food, booze, at videoke.

Hello sa braso mo Andoys!

Jamie and her photo bombers. Pagkatapos umubos ng sangkaterbang hotdog, eto naghahanap pa.

This “park” was right beside the resort. Nakakatuwa siguro lalo to pag natapos na. Ganda eh.

Eksena din ang paguwi. Dapat uwian na agad eh. Kaso tagal ng sasakyan. So kanya-kanyang pwesto habang naghihintay. Meron sa bench sa labas, sa sahig, may sumiksik sa room ng boys (pinalayas muna ang boys), at di ko na alam kung san yung iba. May pesteng nag selfie sa tabi ko habang mukha akong bangenge at syempre di ko ipo-post pictures ko non.

Hello sa paa mo Jamie. Liit pala ng paa mo no?

Derecho office kame after. Sampay ng basang damit, hanap ng pwesto, pahinga konti, at walang katapusang diskusyon sa pagkain (ang lechon na drawing pala at ang di namin pagpatol sa tapa at tocino habang andun kami). Trabaho pa din na parang walang nangyari, tulog pag may chance. Lahat pagod eh.

Sana may next time pa! Magbaon pa ng mas madaming hotdog! At i-video ang mga ganap for a better laugh the next day. Hahahahaha!

Happy Labor Day everyone!
