pista sa nayon

ok. just finished my toka. baked mac. suddenly we feel like we're in the philippines, preparing para sa isang pista sa nayon. hehehe lahat, mega hiwa ng kung anik-anik, mega cook, mega hugas ng plato, mega tikim, meka taktak ng salt and pepper sus. kulang na lang daw ay halaya at leche flan, authentic pista sa nayon na. =)

we're cooking lunch for 50, not 10, people tomorrow. well, it's a farewell lunch for our trainers and everybody who helped us out during the training month. we're having a couple of filipino dishes.

* sana may lasa ang baked mac ko ang hirap tantyahin ng pasta eh. sumobra ata ang noodles sa sauce hehehe. medyo maputla pero niremedyohan ko.. pero parang matabang pa rin. good luck sa mga kakain tom. ay mamya na pala yun geez.

three

more days and i'm outta here... yahoo! uyyy super excited to go home! can't wait to see everybody back there. my kuya and my mom haven't expressed this much affection to me before. every night, mom said they were counting the days 'til they see me home (naks song). well, si win manhid pa rin ever. hehe. mabuti ito medyo naging mas affectionate kaming lahat sa isa't-isa naks drama.

and well, uhmmm... kase... basta. pano ba? mahirap i-explain. we'll see what happens when i get home. something to look forward to? i guess so. waiting has never felt this good. hehe... ano ba ito. basta. it's not the waiting-in-vain-slash-crap type of waiting. yata? it seems? hehe ang gulo. basta. ang labo ko.

nonsense? definitely, hindi. =) ewan ko. hehe.

blast from the past

why past? i've spent another best weekend (hehe could there be two bests? well i now define two bests) with my good friends from HS, michie and thecx. i never thought i could be with them again after all these years and the distance.

i've missed them for 7 yrs (thecx) and for almost a year (michie) and i'm missing them again now. you can't really have enough of the best things in life, but sometimes, a weekend is too much to know that you have it all. =)

spent friday night in ohio, saturday in kentucky, and back to ohio on sunday. we wish we were in cali, where the sun's not lazy and the weather's so aloha-ooh. why didn't we think of it earlier? but fast is fast hehe ang nakaraan ay nakaraan ba hehe and we had the best times just the same. actually, i would be contented kahit na maupo lang kami sa damuhan at magkwentuhan. hehe... but we just had to make pasyal sayang naman ang pag fly nila dito diba?

i'll definitely miss:

checking in to a couple of inns and sheepishly laughing at "do not disturb" signs at the door mwehehe! katukin sana namin eh kaya lang baka mapulis kami.

pigging out... i mean, eating out an awful lot!

road trip! woohoo! with either mich or thecx as the driver. yeah, i get to be the passenger always... princess me hehe.

viewing fishy fishes and other under the sea creatures

super giggles and laughs and senseless but sentimental talks

being discriminated and discriminating hehe

trying out white castle and crispy creme

seeing snow for the first time awwww

walking under the rain and snow and cold wind just to make pasyal together

picture-taking... a lot!

exaggerated stories

maki-alam sa buhay nang may buhay sa friendster

group hugs!!!

sharing of uhmmm... insights about "it"

subaybayan nang parang tele-serye ang "cable shows" ya know... "cable shows"

at gumawa ng mga kung ano-anong characters gaya nina: manong, ate, officer, inspector

maka-miss ng someone because of way too much panunukso... geeez...

scouting for ref magnets

mapagkamalang triplets ni lolo sa white castle. he was like, "excuse me, are you triplets?". and we were like, "hmm... no we're just good friends". and he replied in disbelief, "that's impossible! how do you do that?". hehe si lolo aatakihin sa sobrang wonder. hehe!

habulin ni manong guard sa grocery when we bought beer. "excuse me, are you all above 21?". and i smiled and answered, "yeah, we're 24!" hehe. sagot si manong, "just making sure..."

pics... pwede bang mawala 'to?

roadtrip! woohoo! that's me, thecxy, and ms. driver michie woohoo!

weekend na naman... choose mode: =) or =(

hay this is our last weekend here. can't really tell if i'm disappointed or i'm glad. i mean, i like it here. parang walang problema hehe but i love my home and my family and friends back home =). and everything i love and need is back there. =) so i guess it's just good enough that i had a taste of what it's like to live here for quite a short while.

ang alam ko lang... excited ako kse in a few hours, i'll be reunited with another set of great people. hehe todo bola! pero nde bola yun. lahat naman ng tao great! =) hehe!

michie and thecx, welcome! aloha! mabuhey! well, you don't know my blog site, but just the same i send out my thoughts hehe!

i guess we should get ready for sleepless saturday and sunday, a great deal of rain and thunderstorm (and possibly snow [wee and boo at the same time]). pero nothing can stop us now! hehe! woohoo!

*on 360 - i tried this yahoo 360 thing. it's like a friendster/blog/album thing and i think it's cool. ang hirap nga lang ata mag maintain ng 2 blog hehe. pde bang copy paste na lang? baduy!
