I got the sniffles! :(

Sick and kawawa. Why do I always get sick pag malapit na mag-Underground? I was supposed to host the first Underground event with my partner Rye two years ago. Then I got sick about two days before the event, and I never made it. Now, with Underground Extreme just three days away, I'm sick...again!?!

Darn.

No! I shall not be absent this time. Burning fever or not, I will be there on December 10! (with a haughting, stubborn expression on my face.)

Punta kayo ha. It's EAP's big event. Giggle...snifff...giggle. :)

I won't take no crap from you, life!

People deal with life's crap differently. Some eat. Some don't eat. Some drink. Some drink too much. Some go out. Some hide in their shells. Others shop! And shopping is definitely a wonderful therapy.

And so on a crappy Thursday, I SPEND! After my dubbing, I went to my favorite sanctuary, with its bright interiors and its classic Christmas music - The Podium. I treated myself to a good lunch of mushroom salad and minestrone at Sugarnot, two new maxi dresses, one chic sundress, and two new tubes of lip gloss. I love it!

So when life isn't so nice, I compensate by loving me a little more. Next time, SHOES!

:)

I passed French 2!

Yey! Yey! Yey!

Our techer Cinddi texted me the other night with the good news. All fourteen of us passed the exams! (Just fourteen because Daddy Elpi wasn't able to take the test, and he doesn't need to anyway because his French is darn good already. Hehehe)

So come January, the Department of European Languages of UP Diliman can expect another mass enrollment for French 3. C'est incroyable! Can't wait!

:)

At nagsama-sama ang magaganda!

Diba naman?

Dinner at the new Central along Pioneer. I swear mas mura talaga doon sa old Central. 7 pesos lang yung rice doon. Now, 15 pesos na sa bagong Central. Pero in fairness, matagal na yun. Madami na nga namang nangyari since the last time we ate at the old place. Sabi nga ni Jeje, naging president na si Obama. Nagkaroon na ng rice crisis. Nagkahiwalay na si Ding Dong at Karylle. Hehehe. Marami pang iba na nagkahiwalay at nagkabalikan. Yun naman!



Whatever life throws at us, the most important things are:

1. Magkakasama pa rin ang magkakaibigan
2. Magaganda pa rin tayo
3. Magtawanan na lang forever!



Galak na galak! :)

Tara, inuman ulit!

Updates...

Gas prices have gone down by 5 pesos this week, can you imagine that! Now the price per liter of Shell V Power is just P37.85! Hurrah! For my 500 pesos, I now get about 13.++ liters, compared to the 10.++ last week. What a blessing! And just in time for Christmas, too.

Now I know a lot of people are still not happy about this, thinking the gas companies could do better in bringing the rates down. Bahala sila. You won't hear me complaining. Basta ako, I'M GLAD AND THANKFUL. :)

I'm buying me a new camera this month. A Canon SX10 IS. Can't wait! I've been wanting to do some practice shots for the longest time. Nakakahiya kasi minsan with my simple digicam. Soon as I get my new gadget, I'm gonna shoot like there's no tomorrow. Hehehe. Hey, practice makes perfect, right?

My beau Alvin and I are a duo of novice photographers. We haven't added much to our site since our Bohol trip. Hopefully, we can share more photographs soon. Sana dumating na yung camera mo, Babe. :)

Now that I'm done with my French 2 course, I feel like I should start learning something new again. French 3 doesn't start until January. I was thinking of enrolling in a Web Designing course, or Graphic Design. I've always wanted to learn Photoshop, and I don't just mean knowing how to edit photos. I want to be able to create nice ads or artwork. I want to do something creative and productive. Any suggestions?

Wave 891 TVC Shoot

November 23, White Avenue in Tomas Morato.

We sacrificed one Sunday to finally shoot our TVC. After 48 years! Hehehe...







Best effort to look genuinely HipHop/R&B. But the one thing we did so effortlessly that day was laugh, drink, bond and have a BLAST!



The Wave 891 TVC will be launched next month. Watch out for it! More pics here.

Usapan ng magkasintahan...

I was going to buy me a kitten I haven't seen yet, and excitedly planned to call it Sirius Black, after my fave Harry Potter character. But when I saw the picture, he didn't look like a Sirius Black at all. I was crestfallen.

Anne to Alvin: (wailing) Honey, this kitten doesn't look like Sirius Black at all!
Alvin to Anne: (amused) Honey, Sirius Black is not a cat.

Onganaman.

:)

Then he calls me Baby Gurr... like before.

And I melt away.

Told you so!

How many times should you tell your partner you love her?

The answer?

Before someone else does.

I thought I'd told you...

Oh Edward...

...I am unconditionally and irrevocably in-love with you.

Experiencing Bohol!

Our Bohol trip finally pushed through, and despite a harrowing start (we missed our plane, rerouted to Cebu and took the ferry), we had a wonderful vacation.



Hon and I stayed at Bohol Beach Club. We hired a car and tour guide (courtesy of Mr. Gerry Lugod) and marveled at the lovely sights of the island. I finally saw a tarsier up close! (I only saw pictures of these furry creatures in History and Sibika books.)



And I got to see the famous Chocolate Hills!



We experienced almost everything there is to be seen, tried and tasted in Bohol. The floating restaurants along Loboc River, the old churches and museums, the Blood Compact Site, the famous Bohol Bee Farm with its organic palate pleasures, the sea with its powder-fine sand and starfish treasures! Saya!


The Baclayon Church, one of the oldest stone churches in the Philippines.

The man-made forests.


Bohol Bee Farm holds organic wonders aplenty!


Cultural entertainment along the Loboc River.


The Blood Compact Site.

If, like me and my beau, you wish to escape from the stresses of the city, find some peace and quiet, and the perfect shots for the photographer in you, then Bohol is one of the most perfect destinations.



Balik sa Bohol, balik!
