tonight i'll be doing something new...something i've never done before. i never thought i'd have the guts to do this work (?). ganito pala ang feeling...those really close to me know what i'm talking about here (please don't comment).. those who don't, you'll probably know din...

waaahhhh!!!

last saturday, my high school friends and i went on our very first out-of-town trip...we went to far-away tagaytay! milestone na ito for us! though we've been there 10 years ago for our retreat, eto ung pinageffort-an tlaga at with bf pa! (husband in my case)..

first stop was breakfast at antonio's for lunch (so breakfast for lunch).

next was sonia's garden. my friend, agnes, and i had a full body massage (which I do not reccommend for the oil factor! mantecado effect after..but the massage was good though). the others naman had footspa and back massage. sayang lang the place was fully booked so we stayed lang in the common massage area. it would have been nice to stay in the huts or villas (don't know what they're called).

after the relaxing massage, nagpasakit naman kami ng katawan coz we went bowling sa royal tagaytay.

for dinner, we tried the grill by antonio's. another resto from mr antonio..grabe dami nyang alam na luto! ok un resto..fresher dencio's..similar menu but better un quality, ambiance was also better since maaliwalas (antonio's white walls, chairs and nice toilet). also, the sinigang na gulay was very good.

it was a super fun day but sayang lang coz philippine-based friendships lang ang nakajoin..chame's in sing and iris is in the states..annie naman just joined us for a couple of drinks (non-alcoholic drinks *corny*) at chef and brewer.

so i think this is it!! im sure sunod-sunod na ito! wish ko next time naman ay mabasa kami! another milestone you should watch out for is makapagswimming kami together!

magazines, bazaars, and wwe

some of you may have checked my profile and have seen that one of my interests is wwe. yup! its wwe - world wrestling entertainment. been a fan since it was wwf - world wrestling federation. dami ng changes but some wwf superstars still play (play nga ba or still act?!). among the classics na present pa sa wwe are sina 'heart break kid' shawn michaels (i think nga dapat 'heart break man' na sha dhil kinda old na sha for a 'kid'), ric flair (na kabatch pa ni hulk hogan pero sige pa rin!) and the undertaker (minus paul bearer na may dala ng urn nya..fyi, namatay 'daw' un nun nalibing sa quick-dry cement)...weird tlaga mga plots pero enjoy pa rin ako. of course, ultimate favorite ko si bret 'the hitman' hart. sayang lang he stopped wrestling na since his brother, owen hart, died sa ring mismo.

anyways, may new breed of superstars na and my most favorite and crush din is randy orton. he's only 24 tas nag champion na sha..he's the youngest wrestling na nagchampion in the history of wwe.
here he is (cutie noh!)...

here naman is his signature pose...(waah! cute tlaga)

after randy orton, i started liking naman si dave batista..read in an article sa inquirer that he's half greek, half pinoy...his dad daw is pinoy and his surname is actually bautista (this i have to verify...)

eto naman sha (man na man naman sha that's why i like him :)

im sure most won't understand and appreciate what i'm talking about but i don't know..i'm so hooked eh..

happy and inluv!

Our June 2-4 trip to Bohol was the biggest fashion event of the year for our group. Not that it was fashion week in Bohol or Manolo Blahnik held a fashion show at the Bohol Beach Club, it was just the biggest trip our group had in 88 years!! Weeks before the event, almost everyone had their swimsuits and boardshorts ready, and havaianas soaked, brushed, and cleaned (since most of us have light colored flips)! Everytime we go malling, I remember shopping for at least one item that I can use during our stay. It was absolutely the venue for us to showcase our new swimsuits, halter tops, and flipflops! But after seeing the place, the 'fashion show' pala was not actually the main event. It was just Bohol and its richness. I realised that there are just so many things I liked about Bohol.

#1 - The beach - Ganda! White sand, clear waters, plus palm trees surrounding the beachfront were great backdrops for picture taking! We heard that there were also sites for dophin watching (but didn't had the time for it) :(

#2 - Tarsiers - I never thought I'd love them! I thought they'd be scary but they're not. They're so cute sobra!

#3 - Chocolate Hills - They were just breathtaking!

#4 - Lunch at Loboc River - Sayang it started raining already so the river was not so blue anymore. Still, the experience was nice - the floating restaurant, fresh air, and good food!

#5 - Man-made forrest - Green all over! The air was so fresh. Just standing in the middle of the road mafifeel mo na.

#6 - Baclayon Church - Being there and knowing its history gave me goosebumps! This church is like hundreds of years old. Surprisingly, they were able to preserve the benches, altar paintings, murals, and even the confessional box!

I'd go on and on and this list won't stop. The people, the food, the souvenir shops (of course I wouldn't miss this!), the culture of Bohol are so great! Bohol is definitely a place that will be in my travel itenerary in the future. I doubt if my company will take us again there :( Anyways, when I have kids, I'd definitely take them there (hope the tarsiers will still be around for them to see)! :)

Finally!

At last, I'm able to start my blog! This is my very first post, a month after I created my blog. I hope my blog can carry loads of pics that I have been wanting to share to all my friends! I have lined-up pics from my wedding (almost seven months back), my honeymoon in bora (just a day after my wedding), and from the biggest fashion event of the year here in our office - our trip to Bohol (last june 2-4).

I also have pics of my recent best buys from my weekly trips to market!market!.

Expect pics from me from time to time, not much journal-writing. As friends know, I do sales for urc export monday to friday, 9.6 hours a day (okay, probably 8.6 hours a day since I always come in late!) and a big part of my work is to handle correspondences with my Japanese buyers (we email many, many times a day, as in!). So I think I have enough letter writing already. :)

Next post will be our office's Bohol trip! The beach is great and the tarsiers are so lovable you'd want to take them home!
