BFF's McDo Moment

The morning of December 31, despite the not so wonderful weather, there were signs of dark clouds everywhere, I met up with my best friend Chi. It was the first time in probably 3 years, that we saw each other again..Sure we update each other through text messages but nothing beats the conversations over fries and other knick knacks...She brought along her eldest, who is my godchild, and after I handed the boy my christmas gift, Chi and I started our never ending how are you's and chitchats...Just like the good old days....And funny, we seem to not notice the time, before we knew it, it was way past lunch time, and we had to send Chi's son to play some arcade games while we continue to laugh about our stories and reminisce about our college days. Nothing has really changed after all these years and I made sure I had my camera with me so we could take some pictures..The last picture we had together was in some 10 years ago, both of us in our rocker fashion, Chi in a Kurt Cobain hairstyle, both of us making the peace sign...Now, we still are rock fans but sports a more "girlie" fashion..lol..I posted here one shot of us together, never mind how it looked, it was intentionally captured this way, quite a clear view of my Best Friend For life, the already empty mcdonalds drinks and fries and a peeping me...lol..

Lunch at Oniv's...

[Time really fly so fast, my six day vacation is over but I couldn't complain more, I just made the best of it...lol....A few days before Christmas however, I got a text message from my cousin Oniv, who leaves just a few blocks away from me, inviting me to come to their house because they have a party. Much as I wanted to, I had to decline because I had some shopping to do and was not somewhere near his place...hahaha.... While I was on vacation, he sent me a text inviting me to come over for dinner at his place, and he further told me that he also invited my two other cousins...I had to reply informing him that I am in the province for the New Years, and he understood]...So finally, after a series of coordination, with my other cousin, we were set to go to Oniv's. So I asked him if they were home and told him we were gonna go to his place...Thank heaven's he replied, Ok....lol....Arriving at Oniv's was a riot! His kids and my other cousin's kid's instantly bonded, played around, got really loud while we-the not so young spent the rest of the day, laughing at stories of long ago, watching dvd's over carbonara and other delicacies that Oniv prepared himself....What a party host! We spent the whole afternoon at Oniv's and went home late...We were too carried away by our stories and must have forgotten that it was already getting dark, had not my nephew started bothering my cousin that they should be going home....I'm looking forward to the next get together....Guess, the holiday's not over yet....

Tonight, I'm packing my things...no, I have already packed them but had to re-packed so I could sneak in the stuff that my sis asked me to bring home...talk about "pahabol"....lol. Anyhow, tomorrow, I'm going home to my hometown, which is where the majestic, perfect cone Mayon Volcano is located and will spend my New Year there...It's nice to be going home again, as the holiday festivities is much more fun, extravagant and loud. And there's also my cousin's wedding which I will be attending, so it means reunion for us..Yahoo!!!

Will be away for six days and won't be able to update this site as often as I'd want to so as early as now I'd like to greet everyone...

Have a Blessed New Year!!!!!

On Getting Invited to Wakeboard

Last week, a friend invited me to go with her group to CWC. She must have some very good convincing power to make me join her, though I have some second thoughts because of the dark clouds and heavy rains that has been hitting Metro Manila, I'm thinking there's no way we can experience a good weather in Cam Sur. Plus I don't know how to wake board in the first place so I wasn't so much interested at first. But she was persistent and I obliged. It was an 8-hour drive from Manila, and when we arrived there...we couldn't get settled in easily. All of us just wanted to to try out wake boarding right away. If you're a first timer, you get to try knee boarding first. I was successful in that one and I was all set for the wake board experience. After several bumps and unsuccessful attempts I was able to launch only to fall right away but who cares? It makes the whole experience more exciting.
When the cables are shut down and after everyone ate together, we took a nap at the very cozy cabana... We had some time to splash in the swimming pool as well....and we ended the night by having a massage which is also available at the complex.

The next day we were on the road again back to Manila, all of us sunburned, but had a lot of stories and funny anecdotes to tell.
