9 memorable moments of 2009

2009 has been such a year. It has its fair share of fun (my graduation day, having a job, etc.) and tragedy (Typhoon Ondoy, Maguindanao Massacre, economic recession). Truly, it is one of the years that I would never, ever forget because a.) this is the year that made me an adult and b.) because lots of things happened so there’s no way for me to forget it haha. And like I always do, here is a picspam of my 9 memorable moments of 2009.

1. Caleruega Retreat



2. Baccalaureate Mass



The fireworks, the signatures in my uniform, the singing and the picture taking. Oh good times.

3. Graduation Day



Graduating with honors is one of the best things that happened to me this year. Thank you Lord.

4. Having a work



I am so blessed to be working with such great and talented people.

5. Gossip Girl: Kiss on the Lips Party



6. Tagaytay Trip with officemates



7. Winning contests, yay!

I won a Republ1c shirt and DC shoes, thanks to my determination! Haha. I love it! I’m too excited to claim the prizes on January. Will post the photos once I got my hands on them.

8. Meeting my new crush (gigglezzz)

I cannot post a photo of him here in my blog because there is a chance that he could stumble upon this. :) But you’ll know more about him on my 2010 post hahaha.

9. ‘Summer and Smoke’

I never thought that this will be a major fail, but I truly learned so much from this experience.


Let us welcome 2010 full of hope and determination. Believe that 2010 will be awesome!

Happy New Year! :)

christmas of 2009

So this is the first Christmas that I already have a job. And just like how I envisioned it, I was able to buy gifts for my family, for some of my aunts and uncles, for some of my cousins and for my best friends ever. Shopping gifts for the people who you value the most is so much fun. I swear I can shop from dusk ‘til dawn.

Our office Christmas party will be on the 28th and I hope I will have a blast. Partying with very supportive officemates can be so much fun, right? Haha.

In other news, I’ve been so busy joining online contests. :)) One contest stands out amongst all for a very simple reason---I like the guy. Such a SLW, I know. But I’m the only girl in the competition and I am definitely kicking asses.

Hmm anyway. I have to wrap this blog post because I am not yet finished wrapping the gifts and prizes for our family Christmas party tomorrow. So excuse me while I creatively wrap the gifts as I listen to Peaches and eat the pili nuts I scored from my future father-in-law‘s event that was held in Greenbelt 5 last week. Gigglezzz.

Have a great Christmas, loves! Let us all have a good and meaningful one.

recurrent dream

She is at the backseat of the car wearing a gorgeous little black dress.

He is at the backseat of the car wearing a gorgeous tuxedo.

They are seating beside each other as silence rules the whole vehicle and city lights keep on kissing the windshield.

He is staring blankly; her hands are on her lap. He places his hand above hers and holds it tightly.

She looks at him with sad eyes. He looks back, gives her a faint smile and holds her hand a little tighter.

She looks at her lap where their hands are placed. Now their fingers are interlaced. She looks at him again and kisses him on the cheek. She rests her head on his shoulder as she slowly closes her eyes.

His eyes became sadder and sadder. He looks at her and kisses her temple. He closes his eyes as he tilts his head against hers and holds her hand even tighter.



And it went on and on again. Such a weird feeling to see yourself a. in your dreams doing some stuff you don’t even know why and b. with someone you barely even know.

because these days are epic

This post was long overdue, but I just had to blog it.

I will never forget November 12-14, 2009. For the first time in my life, I felt so free and independent. I was able to do what I want without giving a damn on what others will say. I just did what I know that could make me happy. I took a risk. I took a goddamned risk.



Tagaytay trip was… memorable. Here are the following reasons why (in no particular order):

1. I spent it with my dear officemates (Upper, Jan, Denice, Claudette, Ian, Paelo and Emma). It was my first pseudo-company outing, with no proper itinerary whatsoever. It was really fun.

2. I was bad ass and did what I wanted to do. FINALLY. I love you daddy for letting me do my own thing and protecting me from mom’s rage. Haha.

3. I almost drowned. This was seriously one of the most unforgettable moments in my life; I really thought I was going to die. Claudette was teaching me how to swim and she slowly brought me to the deeper side of the pool. When my toes weren’t able to touch the pool’s tiles, I panicked. Then somebody saved me.

4. I had a mini-drinking spree for the first time! I didn’t get drunk (which kind of disappointed me, haha). To summarize, Pale Pilsen > Red Horse. Rhum Coke tastes disgusting, but The Bar vodka is worse. The only drink that I liked was the Vodka Cruiser.

5. Random things: Having lunch at Leslie’s Tagaytay which turned out to be really expensive; that was the reason why we weren’t able to zipline anymore (this made me sad and frustrated). To somehow forget how expensive the lunch was, Jan, Denice, Paelo and I hungout in a nipa hut overlooking Taal Volcano. It was beautiful. And since we do not have money to spend anymore, the whole group just stayed and rested at Picnic Grove, which turned out to be the perfect location to shoot our ‘teleserye’.

Hopefully, this won’t be the last trip I’ll have with them. :)
