happy birthday, donna! happy birthday, kaloy! happy anniversary too!

when i think of donna, i somehow think of kaloy too - one way or another. just proves that they are a package :) hearts beat as one :) john en marsha :) kaya ni mister, kaya ni misis :) hehe. their birthdays are extra special because they share the same date... almost hehehe. 28 and 29? what's the difference? bwahaha! pareho na rin yun! so grand celebration ito. sa mansyon nila.

i went with suzy and dacks and we almost got lost on our way to their gorgeous house. food was great. daming visitors. finally, i met the characters in donna's teleserye :)

suzy, dacks, and i had a good dose of updates aka chismis hehehe. nakakatuwa. suddenly the spi characters came alive. awww. nakakamiss naman ang spi.

after dinner, we had a tour of the mansion and then off to tequila rounds. 2 rounds pa lang, we bid our good byes na rin kasi medyo late na e. oh well, we didn't make it to the last mrt. cab it is. kay mahal! kaya nga, hangga't maaari, wag ka nang mag convert!

cheers to donna and kaloy! spend the rest of your birthdays together! happy anniversary! aha! may nakita kaming libro mukang gamit na gamit! bwahahaha!

ang pangarap nyang lumpia

nag text sakin si wawin kahapon. sabi nya, "wala kong bagsak :)". ayan tuwang-tuwa kami dahil ga-graduate na si wawin! yey! sa tuwa ko, napatawag ako sa kanya.

chika chika, kumustahan, kulitan. hanggang naitanong ko kung anong ulam nila. sabi nya, humiling daw sya kay mami na magluto ng lumpia. peborit namin ang lumpia ni mami kse may pagka-thai ang style nito. imbis na lagyan ng itlog ang hilaw na giniling na baboy, ginigisa na na ang baboy (walang itlog) kasama ng carrots at pinutul-putol na sotanghon, saka ibabalot sa lumpia wrapper at ipi-prito. champion.

so si mami, upon baby's request, mega run sa pure gold para mag grocery ng ingreydyeynts. ok. matapos ang ilang sandali heto na si mami, dala-dala ang mga supot. "yeheeey, lumpia ulam!" yan siguro ang naisigaw ni wawin sa isip nya.

bwahahahaha! tawa ko na lang dahil sa makatuwid, ang lumpiang thai style ay nauwi sa lumpiang ready-to-cook straight from pure gold. just prito-prito and you have your lumpia. bwahaha, kawawang wawin. sabi ni mami, "tinamad ako mag prepare. langya, puro pala patatas yung lumpiang nabili ko!" hahaha.

to further degrade wawin, nagluto ako ng lumpiang thai style ni mami. at ininggit ko sya bwahaha! ang bait ni ate. talaga naman. ang pangarap nyang lumpia, sa mga kamay (at tyan) ko naisakatuparan. *evil grin

jana's visit day 3

day 3 for jana: possibly a brief malaysia experience and singpore zoo. how will i document it if i'm here at home? hahaha. i woke up with crashing thunder and lightning, pouring angry rain. self-check: headache's still there... agonizing headache. argh.

so ate josh, i leave jana in your hands. :) have a good day and enjoy the animals! animal scent and all! haha ;)

jana, hope you had a blast in your stay here in SG. as i said, there may have been flaws that tainted your grand vacation, still you had the grace and composure to be happy. woohoo! luvya girl!

i'm walking on sunshine wohoho!

it's been a very long time since i had a good walk under a nice sun. yesterday, on my way to meet the HS girls:

* it was 10 am
* the sun's good
* walking my way to the bus stop
* i had a mega relaxed pace - as opposed to my daily hurried and heart-pumping steps to work
* good music was playing in my ears (coming from my player, mind you. and not just ringing in my ears haha)
* i was singing along with every song (96.3 ikaw ba yan?)
* though i was squinting at the sun, i love the feel of sunshine on my hair, face, skin!

i needed this moment. i call it my sun-shiny-moment. woohooo! i love it!

jana's visit day 2

so again, according to the magic starbucks tissue, day 2 = sentosa (aka sentowsa). meeting time was 10am, vivo city. but since we are filipinos, we met at around 1130. :) mind you, this is due to unavoidable circumstances: ate josh's MC and my need return the dvds i rented. hehehe.

after lunch, we headed to straight to sentosa - with prickly heat and all. highlights were:

luge and sky lift(?) - still the best attraction for me! if only my helmet didn't fall off. good thing it was still strapped... on my neck! bwahahaha hindi naman ako masyadong na-srangle to death. great ride! next was sky lift - it stopped for a few minutes while we were way way up there. scary but good. what's funny? we saw this kuya pinoy coming from the opposite lane. we asked him to take our pic! he did so and asked how he will give it to us. ang sagot ni jana ay: "anong friendster mo?" bwahaha... pinoy nga naman.

underwater world and dolphin lagoon - *flashback* newport aquarium with thecx and michie awww... miss these girls. *flashback*..... this is my 2nd time to see the sentosa underwater world. jana had lots of pics to keep :) good for her! after the aquarium, we stopped for snacks and uh, naps :) yes. thanks to delifrance's good terrace we were able to steal some naps. and then time for the dolphin show. i wish i had a dolphin. they're creatures so sweet! hehehe. i heard from a colleague that one of the old dolphins in this show died some time ago. i bet it was one we saw last year. :( poor creature. may he rest in peace.

next stop supposedly was the songs of the sea show. i felt the heat was too much for me... by this time i have a terrible headache and a general feeling of being unwell. i said my goodbyes and best wishes to enjoy their night still and headed home - with a subway sandwich for me and kuya.

i feel good for jana. despite some flaws that happened that morning, everything will be ok jana! :) nice talk during our delifrance snack/nap time. :)

jana's visit day 1

so jana's here :) according to the itinerary so carefully documented on that darned starbucks napkin, friday = jurong bird park, marina bay, clark quay, bar. i wasn't able to avail my planned sick leave 'cause work didn't permit me to. oh well. ate josh - justified SL and all - made a great job touring the tourists in our absence(s).

i met them (ate josh, her mom, her kuya, and jana) at the merlion site at around 6pm. yes, i had to do the seemingly 100km walk/dash from suntec to city link, to esplanade, to merlion. loooong walk.

next stop was dinner at clark quay. ate josh and i were experts in commuting around singapore - so we opted to take a cab bwahaha! no luck in hailing a cab though so we took a bus instead and went to vivo city for dinner.

after dinner, ate josh wasn't feeling very well. as i said, justified SL. so it was just me and jana and clark quay. there was an i-don't-know-the-name festival, really festive with all the lights! we thought of going to MOS too. we searched for it with all our hearts and souls. block c! darn it, took us 10 years to locate MOS. and when we got there, we didn't know how to get in. bwahahaha! so back-out ito.

i dunno how we ended up drinking a mug of beer and eating chicken wings on this boat resto. surreal! it now beats the weirdness of the aloe vera incident. and we were like staring blankly at the waters - over the whole MOS thingy! hahaha! sheeesh...

overall, the theme was: "we didn't get our butts inside MOS!" hahaha very funny! and so the day is over, tomorrow is a new day and adventure :)

offline on a sunday

this seems weird - everybody on my ym buddy list is offline!

i'm chatting with camille, though (invi mode). still, it's weird all 148 chums offline!

aha! i see april online :) and now josh! :) they're waking up :)
