These are all the many changes in my life...

Hahaha. Such a cheesy title. But the song is running in my head right now as I write this. I'll be hosting the last batch of the AICS graduation events this month. Bacoor this time. I'm already dressed up for the 1pm affair, and it's only 8am.

I've been promoted! From Creative Director to ASSISTANT STATION MANAGER! 'Stig! I think it's still in the process of sinking into my system. When Sir Joe (Joe D'Mango) announced it to us two weeks ago, it didn't really make a big impact on me. Maybe because I was still trying to absorb it all. Now, I'm starting to feel the pressure. And I know it's going to get even...well, better. Hehe. Trying to look at everything positively. I'm up for the challenge. I'm not that well-equipped, but I'm in and I'll do my very best to not disappoint.

Realization:

Grabe. Ang layo na pala ng narating ko. I started sa Wave as just "someone who pitches in for everyone else" - words from my boss when he introduced me during one of our events. I only had very, very few friends in the station back then. For some reason, most of the girls hated me. Now I'm thinking maybe some of them felt it or something - that someday I was gonna be their boss. I wasn't made to be a subordinate. My dad trained me to be a manager. And so I guess people saw that in me, especially the ones who were in-charge before. I guess that explains it.

Now, at 28, I am their boss, next to Garry who's promoted from Programming Director to Station Manager. Grabe noh? Ang bilis. Sabi nga ni Caress of MCA - "young blood" na ang nagma-manage ng station. I hope it's for the better. I hope that Garry and I - being young and all - will be able to make Wave the station that is envied by all, THE frequency to listen to.

Honey and I celebrated our 7th anniversary this month. Wow... 7 years of being together. No on-and-offs in between. 7 wonderful years of loving and caring and enjoying life side by side.

Love you sweetheart! Cheers to 7 years...and a lifetime of love!

Blessing!

We had a big mother's-side family reunion during the Holy week break. It was so big that there were more unfamiliar faces than familiar ones. But we had a good time. Especially my mom, who haven't seen them for ages.

One of our lolas said to my dad: ang swerte mo naman, ang ganda ng pamilya mo.

That's probably one of the best compliments one can ever receive. You have a beautiful family. And indeed we are. Not just literally. We really do have a great family. And during the holy week break, I realized how just how big a blessing that is, absolutely priceless, and a lifetime of thank-you prayers can never be enough.





Thank you God for showing me how great Your love is through my family.

Happy Happy!

Had my belated birthday bash at work. Treated everyone to lunch. As always, the delicious food was ordered from Leonardo's Lechon, c/o my Ninang Marilou. We had a blast!
Syempre my Honey was my special guest!


Daming food! D' best talaga ang Leonardo's!


Che, Pam, Jingle, George, Owa, me and webmaster Habs behind.


With my buddy Jada and darling Iza who doesn't want to smile... :)

Habs and my Honey - 'stig!

Smile Iza! Ayaw pa din. :)

Happy happy indeed! Thank you Lord for wonderful friends and people who care!

Almost 30...

It's my birthday on the 28th. And I'm turning 28. Almost 30. Ang tanda ko na. But I don't really feel old. Only when I'm surrounded by the young, drunken crowd in Eastwood. Hehehe..

There are so many things I wish for. More money. A flat tummy. More rakets. Something new and exciting in my life.

But then again, I think it's much more rewarding to stop and reflect on the blessings I already have. A wonderful family. A man who loves me like crazy. Great, great friends. A good job with a good pay. Nice things. God has been good to me. And on my birthday, I want to thank Him, for always taking good care of me.

Pero kung pwede pang pumayat ng konti, Lord, birthday gift mo na sa akin yun. :) Donate ko na lang yung bilbil ko sa less fortunate. Hehehe...

Happy birthday to me!

The new me!

I have decided to change my look.



Voila! I had Ms. Cherry Reyes of Essensuals Toni & Guy Crowne Plaza to chop off my long tresses and give me a chic and incredibly low maintenance bob. I LOVE it!

For the longest time I wore my hair long. But I always tie it up anyway, so it doesn't make any sense to me anymore. And I sooo look like a manang! Enough is enough!

So from this look...



...to this...



...I think the short do makes for a much more exciting me. :)

Europe 2010

Cheers to...

...cuss words and laughter...
...phone sex and Europe in 2010...




...friendships meant to last for life!

Happy 2007!

Huli man at magaling... hehehe, i don't know what's next. Basta - Happy New Year (belated)! :)

New year, new car for me. Yey! :)

I got me a brand new Honda Jazz! :)
Bid ZAC goodbye last January 19. My sister Adie owns him now.
Dad and Mom were with me when (after a week of processing the bank loan and all that jazz) I got my new car from Honda Fairview. Syempre may picture taking pa! :)

Me, mom and dad, Vincent the Sales guy, and one gigantic key! (which I wanted to take home as a souvenir, payag sila, but na-dyahe ako.)

While waiting for the papers and everything, Dad asked me to take a pic of him. Kunwari daw sa kaniya yung Civic on display. :)

When we got home, excited si Dad to test drive it. So we took a drive around BF, Dad doing the driving, me in charge of the cam!

Syempre kailangan may celebration. So we all went to Jollibee! :)

Yey! Happy happy! :)

Sunday. Hon and I went out on a date. Brunch at Chocolate Kiss. As usual, nag feeling-artistic na naman kami. Just wanted to share some pics I took. :)


I like this one :)


Hon tries his new cam...a Christmas gift from his beautiful wife! :)


Tryin' the features of my humble cam. Wanted to highlight the carrots. Kulang pa sa practice. :)

Aba!

Aba! Nagka-camera lang, feeling pro na! Hehehe :)



Just me and my beau trying to bring out our artistic sides (kung meron man)...


My first masterpiece. Kanin yan. :)


While lunching with Alvin, I took this one. He likes it. But his opinion doesn't count. Mahal niya ako eh. :)


Minsan walang magawa ang daddy ko sa pera niya so he buys weird looking furnitures and stuff for the house. Eto he bought for the sala.


Syempre mas artistic si Alvin. Mas mukhang "pro" ang pictures niya. :) This one he took while we were chillin' at Starbucks Libis.


At mas matiyaga siya mag kalikot ng features. So he was able to take a pic like this.


This one he took sa Starbucks Eastwood. Syempre ako lang dapat ang model niya. Ang galing mo honey! Yey!


Galing galing ng honey ko mag picture! :)


Eto nagandahan lang ako sa bahay namin. :)


Eto nagandahan si Alvin sa room namin sa Astoria Plaza.


Eto nagandahan siya sa akin. :)

Saya pala ng may camera! :)

Kwentuhan tayo...

Okay...updates.

We had the annual Radio Partners Xmas party, and the usual presentation per station. Wave was the Host Station this year, and the theme was Radio Music Awards. We did Motown, so here we are in our costumes. I was Diana Ross, and the Supremes were Jada and Pam. Rye and the other guys were the Temptations. Garry and the other guys (ulit) were the Jackson 5. Marv was Marvin Gaye, Tyrone was Rick James, Monique (of Dynamedia) was Mary Wells and Don was Stevie Wonder.




And WE WON! Champion kami! Yahoo! We bagged 35K!



So nag-celebrate kami...



...and celebrated some more!


Inuman at Tyrone's condo in Eastwood. Happy happy! And bonded by friendship!

Ang saya talaga kapag masaya ang pamilya! :) Thank you Lord!
