Unionbank Christmas Parties...

T'was my first Christmas at Unionbank, my new home...

Last Dec 16, 2008, we have our Xmas Party where all the Commercial Banking Units are joined together in one party. Party was celebrated at Unionbank in Amorsolo at the 3rd Floor, Training room.. Its a good one coz I was able to know some of them. We are the hosting unit, and as a newbie...we are assigned to host the games. But it was really fun. We also have Choral Presentation Contest...ngayon iba na ang meaning non, our group do more the dancing! hehe! This is the party where I first sang ...hehe! sa magic sing...never in my life pa talaga...pero buti nakisama ng onti ang vocal chords ko..haha!

Then yesterday, December 19, 2008, we have a mini gift giving at the office...not really a party. Again, first time na super higpit ng rules sa gift giving. Pero bilib ako sa pagtago ng secret namin sa code names..hehe! We used the presidentiables as the theme of our codenames... I got my wish..so happy that my mommy gave me a Calgon cologne...love it! thanks to ms beth. Then after opening the something something gifts (aside from the wish gifts) we all go out for a dinner which supposed to be in a KTV. But unfortunately all KTV's in the town are fully booked..We went to YakiMix in Macapagal...eat all you can Japanese Food...yummy! And thanks to Ms. Tina, our center head, for the treat...

Madscrapper's christmas party '08

Exchanging of scrap stuffs...

exchange pa din....

sige pa exchange pa....

Dress up the doll group contest entries...

our group entry. slit kung slit!

Ms. Lee in a chef costume, Janice as the cowgirl, and Ms. Candy in her
ethnic costume

Ladies posing up...

Cel has really internalized her costume as an NPA..while Me as Me..charming..hehe!


12.06.08 ..This is my first time to attend the Christmas party. Cel and I are present of course..this is something we can't afford to miss..hehe! I was able to know this event about few days ago (thanks to Ms. Nita & Cel) , since I was not able to surf the net regularly. I am so excited about it, however I was not able to participate with the theme..Di ako nakapag costume! Actually it was the night before lang na nalaman ko na may costume....next time talaga!..hehe!

The venue is at Makati @ Bel-Air Clubhouse. Cel and I have got no difficulty reaching the place at around past 10 A.M. I first saw Ms. Jeannie and Ms. Christine in their fabulous costumes. Then we signed at the registration (with Empress Cabbie and Hippie-Chic April) And to start the day, shopping is the first in our list. After shopping, the party starts, with a game. We won the first group game , (the act, draw and sculpt) Can't believe that I've guessed 2 items correctly. Then after it, we have our lunch. Yummy food is all there and I enjoyed it. We joined Ms Lee, Ms. Christine, and Ms. Imee. Then after eating, there's the judging of the best in costumes, so funny watching them posing their dress. Ms Jeannie David won the prize...Venus talaga ang dating. Then we have raffles and another group game. The game is the dress up the doll where we are 7 in a group. Too bad, I was not also able to join the exchange of scraps (no time talaga to fix it the night before) buti na lang si Cel, din kungdi ako lang ang di naka-join. Grabe, the ladies have difficulty in the exchanging of stuffs it took them 30 minutes...super kakatawa and ang kukulet! Lastly, we have the easter egg hunt. Not the egg thing talaga, egg like lang using scrap paper which was stick everywhere in the venue. I got 3...so I got 3 goodies..hehe! From the start , I notice already these things...sabi ko na eh...hehe! It has been a good day seeing them in this first christmas party. Its such a memorable experience...Merry christmas na talaga ...!

1st of December...

At Mann-Hann..tama ba? Yummy...

Strolling outside MOA..Dennis and I love it here!


thought that Edward Cullen is here...hehe!

Posing up...Parang nag gym noh..

We came back to MOA for this..hehe! I love to try these...hehe! Kaya super singit kami sa mga kids na naglalaro..Take note madaming bata kasi may field trip nun..

Mr. and Mrs. Yu adventure at MOA

Dennis and I finally have our date. We rarely have a whole day date since we have conflicting schedules at work. We have his off during weekdays while I have the "normal" off (every weekend). Its DECEMBER 01 ...a holiday for me while its my hubby's day off..so right!

So we arrived at the place at around 12 noon..Good weather+good mood+good food...its really a nice day and this is the time I felt that Christmas is in the air...the decorations, the music around, and of course with the happy people around. We started at the playgrounds (of course right after we have our lunch)..hehe! Fun to try the "gym"-like apparatus there. Then after we just stroll around and take a lot of pictures. We get to walk around alot. And my crocs is so helpful that I did not complain at all. We passed by booksale where I got to buy some scrapbooking magazines, its actually 3 magazines, so lucky that I was able to find it. During dinner, I was so hungry..we dine at Man Hann...yummy "lechon" macau! I'm craving for it. And after it, I spotted " Simple Joys" nearby. And there it goes...I saw some items on sale, di ko na napigilan. But before we leave...mawawala ba ang coffee..hehe! We stop by Starbucks near the bay..wow! Our mission: Accomplished! Its a nice start for December..

My 1st ever ASAP experience

A snapshot of John Lloyd during the commercial break! Can't believe I was able to call him and tadan! tumingin sa camera...

Ann, Angie & Sandra

Last Sunday was supposedly my relaxation day. I planned of staying at home all day , sleep and of course, do some scrapbooking. I woke up early that day, when I checked my cellphone, a friend of mine has text me...well, Angie is asking me if I could come to watch A.S.A.P live at Channel 2. No doubts of joining her and Ann. I was so excited, this is something unexpected! Its my first time to watch TV show and of course to see the beautiful people in person..hehe!

We meet up @ Tomas Morato at around 10 a.m (as early as that). At past 10, we arrived at the audience entrance of ABS-CBN. We waited for more than an hour to enter the studio, (as in!) and we are quite hungry that time. My head is aching so badly, but with my eagerness to see my "crushes"....I forgot about it..hehe! This was my first experience to watch a TV show and I was so starstruck with the beautiful people, whom I just see at television every weekend. Me and the girls are even more "kilig to the bones" when we saw John Lloyd Cruz...panalo talaga, lalo his cute eyes...buti na lang andun siya and he saved our day. Wala kasi si Piolo Pascual & Sam Milby. The show started at around 12 noon and ended by 3pm...For short, we have no lunch...we did not even manage to go to the washroom since we are at the center of the stage. I enjoy the experience of watching them live..they are really talented and entertaining I should say. After watching we headed straight to Napoli...we are starving to death ! And kilig kwentuhan has been continued there...Another moment I shall scrap...so happy!

Keeping in Touch=)

(l-r) Bojo, Candice, Ging, Emily, Rose & Sandy..@ Starbucks in Ali Mall

How I missed these guys...They used to be my officemates at Digitel. I missed the kulitan and asaran everyday yun ha... So excited to go out of the office last Friday, November 7, 2008. I admit, I missed scrapping but I guess I'm preparing to scrap tons of memories..hehe! meeting with my friends for the past few weeks. I met Ging @ Gateway and we go straight ahead to Seafood Island, where we'll treat the rest. Yup..kami ang "taya". We have the Dagupan's Pride (a seafood platter) The food is good and enough for 6 hungry persons..hehe! After some pictorials at the resto, we headed to Starbucks for more chikahan. The girls are too kilig about "Twilight", too bad me and Bojo can't relate...but I'm planning to read it one of these days...pag sipagin na lang but my first priority is to scrap. We hang out at Starbucks til past 10pm. SO happy that I get to meet them again after 4 months. Hopefully we could do this again....miss u guys! I really have a great time as always...

Sharing my 28th Birthday and 1st Wedding Anniversary

My idea...to imitate the poster....His idea? He just put the camera on the railings..a narrow railing! a yellow mottif now..love it!
our simple joys..."macau rice toppings, ice tea and brocolli w/ garlic"...The food is great!

Last October 27, 2008 was my 28th birthday and our 1st Wedding Anniversary. How time flies so quickly, that I can still recall the happenings last year (yeah!..). My husband woke me up at 4 am , just before he left for work. SO early! I was just so happy that I could not get back to sleep.

I got to go to work, coz I still don't have my birthday leave, maybe next year pwede na talaga. It was just like one of the regular days..but the difference is that I got lots of text messages, calls and even emails greeting me and so glad that most of them recall that its also our anniversary..Thank u sa lahat=) After office, I got a lot of "Alay Lakad"...from our office in Binondo to LRT 2...then from Santolan LRT station to SM Marikina, where Dennis and I agreed to meet. Hehe! Sanay lang talaga ko maglakad...pero I'm starving to death!

We decided to have our date..a simple date @ SM Marikina. We dine at Hai Chinese Restaurant and Bar. Para maiba...and I love to dine there when I saw the "Macau Rice Toppings"..so as Dennis...he likes it din pala. We got a lot of time to take photos while waiting for the food to be served. We got lots of kwentos, as always. We rarely got time for chit chats since we got different scheds for the past few weeks. Hopefully we could catch up with more kwentos next week..(as if di nagkikita noh..hehe!) To Dennis...I'll walk beside u..mwah Happy Anniversary!

Our life together ...1 year na!

I couldn't believe it...We are on our first year together as husband and wife...one more thing..I'm a year older again! hehe. I am so excited that I'm done with my card for our 1st anniversarry..sshh! its a secret.. I just like to make it short and sweet=) wink!

Love u dennis..always..i'll walk beside u=)

I just miss them so much, and I was happy to see them for 2 consecutive months (august & september)..minsan lang yun kaya sinulit namin ang kitaan.

E Rocks!

Last August 30, was the Reunion concert of Eraserheads held at Fort Bonifacio open field. This concert was really unexpected, I never thought it will pursue due to many valid reasons. I was so happy that it was pushed through..lucky fans! I never even thought they will still come out with this kind of reunion. How I missed them so much. This is my first time to watch together with my hubby, Dennis. The concert is a blast though, we all know that it has to be cut short when Ely was rushed to the hospital. I felt lucky also, my brother who happens to know someone in Saga (the events company who handle the concert), included me and Dennis in the guestlist...we are certified VIP's. BOGCHI!
