1. luis' birthday party + gcf family day (dec 11)
drove to kenny rogers q ave for luis' birthday party. small venue but 'twas ok. finally got to see baby luis again after 4 months. then went to gcf for family day. lots of stalls (tiangge) and lots of food. sayang didn't see the praise factory (kids choir) performance and some of the people who were forced to sing kse nagbayad (request) ung friends nila. praise factory performed the same set of songs na kinanta nila sa galleria the day before so ok lang. i remember ni-recruit din kami (UP cherubim and seraphim kids choir) ng galleria dati nung grade 5 yata ako. and onga pala, pastor luis got wet hehe.
praise factory performance @ robinsons galleria
2. my bro's birthday party (dec 17)
i babysat 14 ten year olds without pay! unfair! haha. anyway, it was my bro's overnight bday party. ngayon ko nakikita gano ka-babaw ang mga pinagaawayan ng mga bata. haaaay.
3. lola's death anniversary (dec 20)
dec 20... my lola's death anniversary. i stil remember when lola died, we had the burial kaagad kasi parang ang pangit daw ng may burol sa araw ng pasko. dec 23 yata kme naglibing nun. sad christmas. i miss my lola.
interesting thing... dec 20 talaga ang birthday ng kapatid ko. so wala syang choice but to spend his birthday sa bulacan. ok nga daw kasi sure na na laging may handa kasi nga death anniv ng lola ko. madaming pumupunta kasi sa bahay kaya dapat may pakain. pero this year, nagkasakit ako so hindi ko nakain lahat ng food. oh wel.
4. christmas eve (dec 24)
christmas eve was better than last year. i think we had more food this year saka may exchange gift. i didn't win though. daldal kasi ni kuya hensy, nalaman tuloy ni ate eileen sino nabunot nya. played basketball with my cousins. para makasali si jethro, we just played 21. we were cheering each other acc sa school like go green archer or sumthing like that. pagdating sakin hindi nila alam ano ichcheer nila hehe. ung cousin ko namang isa nagaaral sa st. lukes tapos "lukemians" daw tawag sa kanila. hahaha.
5. christmas day (dec 25)
my family @ christmas day
lots of food. it was a happy christmas kasi nanalo ginebra hahahaha. saka kuntento naman ako sa grades ko. not because mataas but because i expected it na kasi. sa hapon, we went bowling. i scored a 141! haha! nakakainis nga eh kse ang daming open frames. grr. sana tumaas pa kahit konti. watched so happy together. panget. haha. un lang po.
6. tagaytay reunion (dec 26)
went to tagaytay early morning to go to our family reunion. this time, sa mother's side naman. ang daming bagong addition sa family. jeya, ashiang, and aina. had some games, food, gifts, etc.
favorite gifts this christmas: pink halter saka fila jogging pants.
thank you Lord for everything.
yeah, birthday ko po ngayon! if hindi mo ko binati, hindi na tayo friends! hahaha. JOKE LANG!
1. thoughtful friends
i want to say thank you to joseph, kuya gelo, ate lala, kuya mike kingli, ate wawa, ate chette, missy, cecilia, ferron, jayson, nestor, debie, allen, kuya mang & ate grace & lian ed, kuya elo, kuya alvin & ate anna, the rest of the martin family, ninang owa, ninang zeny, ninang nancy, tita susan, ate rose, sir ellery, and ching for greeting me a happy 19th birthday today.
2. day out
thanks to ferron (thank you sa moonflower!), jayson (thank you sa fruitcake! pero may utang kang $5 sakin! hint: $5 = Php 150. hehe) and cecilia for coming. funny thing hindi ko kaagad napansin na pareho ng get up si ferron at jayson kanina. napansin lang namin na parehong pareho sila ng order pati drinks! turns out, pareho din sila ng color combi ng shirt saka pareho pang naka-jeans hahaha. we ate at sbarro. then we went bowling. first tira pa lang ni ferron strike na! kaka-pressure hehe. tapos dalawang beses napunta kay ferron ung headpin na pink! pressure! haha. kasi they have this promo na pag pink ung headpin tapos na-strike mo, may prize. hindi na namin inalam ano ung prize. we played billiards after. went shopping. nakakainis ang daming khaki pants, pero hindi ko dala ung babagayan ko na shade ng khaki so hindi ako makapili. may gusto akong nike rubbershoes sa nike stadium. waaah. but then again, sneakers na lng para mas mura. pero ang ganda nung rubbershoes eh. waaah. ferron and jayson went home after getting some jollibee for take out. tapos sinundo ko sa church ung bro ko. mishka had glasses! new look. hehe. then dropped cecilia off and went home.
3. down side
every story has its down side. well, lets just say not everyone remembered my birthday =). hmp! hindi man lang nya naalala mag-"happy birthday".
i know ate cheri forgot my birthday as well, but ever since naman yata na nakilala nya ko, akala nya dec 11 ang birthday ko! she would text me around 12 midnight of dec 11 every year thinking na sha pinakauna na magggreet sakin. haha. siguro ittext na naman nya ko sa 11. hehe. quite funny actually.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i want to thank the Lord for another year full of blessings. i pray that i may know You more as more years are added to my life.
before anything else, happy birthday to my mom and to kuya gelo!
ok, so i wasnt able to blog yesterday kahit na nakapagonline naman ako. too tired i guess.
we arrived at changi airport yesterday around 745 am. kuya gelo was waiting for us already coz wobs was taking the earlier flight at 915 am. we checked in and went to starbucks/BK for breakfast.
missy and chin arrived some minutes later. (miss them already). they had to go to school pa pala after. wobs was the first to go and we walked him to the immigration area. wobs was actually walking ahead of us and funny thing, he was about to enter the first class SIA VIP lounge. hahaha. buti na lang nakita namin.
then we had to board our own plane. PAL had its own entrance for security reasons(?) but then wala namang ginawang checking or whatever. weird. last call na pala kami nun hehehe. we boarded the plane and flew to manila.
manila. haaaay. cant say na ang daming ngbago. same old airport. ang tagal sa imgration, and tagal ng bagage! kasabay pa kse namin ang isang flight from narita. so after nakuha na namin lahat ung bagage, we went out and buti na lang may celphone na ko (globe sim) so nahanap ko kaagad ung sundo ko. andun na rin ung sundo nina kuya gelo, ferron, and ate angel.
same old traffic. oh wel, as if naman mawawala un. same old floods. in our town (hagonoy, bulacan) madalas magbaha kahit hindi umuulan dahil sa high tide. pag umapaw ung river, baha na samin. and another thing, after ng bagyo, saka pa lang talga babaha sa amin. kse ung tubig galing sa pampanga and other places, saka pa lang magfflow papunta samin pag wala nang bagyo. might seem weird but yeah, floods when the sun is already shining brightly.
pero the few changes that i noticed were the footbridges na finally tapos nang gawin, especially the one at the munoz intersection. yey! mas madali na magdrive ngayon. the one at the north ave-westave-edsa intersection is almost complete. pero nadadaanan na sya ng tao so maluwag na rin dun. cool! other small stuff were the new pan de manila near our house and that they moved the burger machine sa corner (near our house as well).
i already ate chickenjoy, turon, menudo, corned beef, and saba con hielo. hahaha.
baby luis is already turning one this december. party daw sa saturday! yey! pero wala pa pala akong gift.
hey, those coming on thursday: around 1230 pm sa megamall powerbooks or sa mga pupunta sa merced quezon ave (jayson, wayne, ferron) 1030 am. kor, brian, i dont have ur celphone numbers.
today was fun... and sad as well.
FUN: in white, SAD: in red
went to takashimaya @ orchard to meet the youth pips for lunch. chin, mark, nina, gabby, and shai were already there when we arrived. ate at mos burger then they played one game of tong-its. i was surprised nina knows how to play and she actually won kanina. hehe. then i bought some kikay stuff (hahaha)... then we went to church na.
we went to mcdo first and robs got another burger and i got ice cream for dessert (nina and chin got ice creams too). nina and i both agree that the sundae was unusually sweet. hmmm... nways, we went up to traders hotel na for service.
after service, we did hang out for quite a while muna. the youth pips sang a happy birthday song for me and gave me a nice present. thanks you guys!!! then we prayed for certain stuff. hugged erika goodbye and said my final goodbyes to kuya kris, tita ethel, kuya minic, tita persh, tita cora, kuya pheng, ate cla, rovin, shai, marc (in case u cant come tom hehehe). will miss you all! :(
then ate tin and i went to plaza sing. we ate at pizza hut. tapos dun din pala kakain ung staff ng church hehehe. then we went searching for shoes then watched bridget jones. cool tlga ni bridget jones. hehehe. will miss ate tin too :(
9 hours til take off!
