This movie has made my day. Its hilarious and kakakilig! Although my katukayo, Sandra Bullock & Ryan Reynolds are not that bagay...hehe or for short walang chemistry. The story has made it all worth it.. I've been aching to see this movie since June. I thought it was showing already last June 29, mali pala its showing was last July 29. As I read some of the posts at Facebook, I was pretty excited and sure that this is a good and relaxing movie. And yes it is, it just made me laughing last night. My dear friend, Ate Susan is with me. Thought I was going to watch alone, and I was so happy she liked it too..no doubts, malakas ang tawa niya all the time.

Alvin's Homecoming

Thank goodness..may facebook. I was able to know that our dear friend, Alvin, is coming home. Her lola died and biglaan ang pag-uwi. Looking on a brighter side, we'll be seeing eachother again after 7 long years. Time really has stored something for us...

We have a get together last July21. Others were not able to come for some reasons. So it was Debren, Ram, Nina, Erwin, Raggie, me and of course Alvin. We met @ Glorietta. I can't help laughing out loud (as in literal!) ,how I missed the old times when they are all in OKRAYAN mode..as in ansaya. We had dinner @ Bubba Gumb in Greenbelt. We have pictorials and of course, Alvin had share her stories..her adventures..her transformations..Too many to mention here. We are all adults now, in our late 20's wala ng kyemehan..we mostly talked about the 3 letter word (SEX)..hehe I can't help laughing about the stories. I felt so happy, coz I realized how I missed the old times..our mall tours..our egg hunting..hehe basta lahat lahat. . . our gayness.. Right after dinner, we went straight to Starbucks 7650..(tama ba) basta yun sa tabi ng Shang Makati. Alvin has continued her story... she may have changed but I could still feel the more happier Alvin....I'm happy for you girl and your newly found bff..I now what you are now is what you always wanted to be...sobrang happy nako dun..thanks for the treat and take care =) I'll surely miss u again...haay another 7 years ule aantayin namin

Globe Run for Home

The long wait is over. Just this morning we ran for this big event of Globe. The weather is good and everyone is here unlike the week before. I was pretty excited... I just don't know why..hehe.

We arrived at the Global City just around 11 mins. before the 10K race starts. The place is so busy and parking is kinda difficult (I've been expecting this...as I've said this is a BIG event). Many participants are warming up..like running & stretching..basta of all ages andun. As we approach the location, I saw Rovilson Fernandez again. I think he's running for 5K also. This race uses the championship chip, kaya wala ng race bands ...high tech ngae. We simply attached it to our shoe lace. I ran for the 5k race, I think I better stick with this until I have a good improvement. There are around 6,000++ participants, kaya medyo crowded. But it is enjoying and organized. Today, I was able to run for about 39 mins, and 5 secs...mmmm kulang pa talaga. Walang improvement!

As I reached the finish line, I saw Karen Davila who also joins the event. And afterwards, I saw Anthony Pangilinan and Maricel Laxa..wow, I realized andaming nagjoin na talaga... Next run will be the Urbanite run, sana we could all join..this is something different..event will be during the night...diba?

p.s. thanks to my hubby, Dennis..what a big help u are..and improving may video na..hehe iba talaga may official photographer =) thanks to you

Fit & Fun Run

A rainy morning. We thought it will not stopped. But thanks be to God, it suddenly stopped. I just had an assurance that I can finish the 10K. I'm so scared of running again while the rain is pouring. (just like duing the Earth Run) We are 2 pairs, since this is a buddy run. Ate Michele & Niki were partners, while its me and Jep who are the buddies for the 10K race today.

I was half hearted to run. I was not confident enough to run with this, but we had no choice the only open race is the 10K and "kailangan tumakbo". I think I had so much rest since last week (physically ha..) I need to burn calories, so I have to join this.

This morning my visions are working so well. As in, 12 feet away I saw Rovilson Fernandez, who is heading to the parking lot, while we are on our way to the event. He was so nice to say "Hi" as my cousin says his name..hehe! After a few seconds, again, my visions are working again. I spotted Drew Arellano. He's really cute and Iya Villania is lucky ha..hehe. We grab the chance to have some pictures with them. Thanks to manongs in the area who are kind enough to give us a shot. As we are on the assembly area, we saw more celebs like Paolo Abrera and his wife, Suzzie, Ms. Pia Cayetano , and again for the second time around, JC Tiuseco..wink..wink..We are also joined by my cousin's friends, Mai and Abe, who are also running for 10K (ang saya lahat kami napasubo sa 10K!!)

In this event the 5K runners are the first to race, then followed by the 10K runners. This has been a tiring race for me. Kakahiya sa buddy ko. We have so much rest time and chat during this run. Haaaay parang walang katapusan. Pero it was fun and a good experience.

I'm scrapping again.

I was so surprised that I bought some stuffs a month ago with my dear friend, Cel, na I almost forgot..I can't even remember that I bought it..as in ganun. I joined the Scrappinmoms Idol 3. Just trying my luck and release my creative juices. I am happy to say that it has kept me busy and excited to go home after office. SO pahinga muna ang mall tour ko..hehe!

I just found that that I made it to the round 3. The new challenge has a twist and its getting difficult this time. I can feel it. I need some inspiration...haaay!

Whatever it is..

I'm doing okay as far as I can see.

I'm putting some things into the right places in terms of my personal life and work issues. I'm keeping myself busy. Time just passed by so quickly (i believe). Never expected that I have to do this just to let time pass by. I'm taking all my chances. I joined Scrappinmoms Idol 3, and lucky that I was still in the round 2. I'm now busy working for the new challenge. Then, of course my other activity is the marathon. I'm really addicted to it.

Reality still bites.. I have to wait and see. Patience and understanding..that's what I need..

GIG Run

I was excited for this run, of course I love our green singlet!

We were early for this run, we arrived at around past 5 A.M. And most of the RUNSOME members are here. We run for the 5K race except for my brother, Sam, who run at 10K. The route is different, and I felt na mas malayo...(?) basta iba ang pagod ko dito, but I did really enjoy. I was able to run again after a week. Next run...will be my first 10K experience...hair-raising ba? can't imagine talaga running 2x of the 5K..sana kayanin..

PTAA Charity Run

I never was so sure joining this marathon.

Not until I was pressured, when I visited the store of Mizuno at Trinoma. Heck, the saleslady said that registration is still open and the forms will be picked up anytime that afternoon last Saturday (June 13). Medyo nataranta naman ako. So there I was, I fill out the form and ask Dennis to treat me..hehe ganun yun. And I texted my dear friend, Cel , that I just registered. I just decided to join, coz I think I got to burn the carbs that I have that Saturday (as in).

This was my first race at U.P. I was with Dennis all the way there. In there, I met Cel, Jenny & Ryan. My other running mates were absent that time...We run for the 5K and the run started at 6 A.M. I made a difference this time. I decided to have less walk unlike last week and try to apply what was taught to me (to breath with my nose and exhale with my mouth....) And medyo effective coz I manage to jog lang when I'm tired. Right after the race, we get to meet again in the venue. We have some pictorials and Dennis was our photographer. And surprisingly, during our pictorials..Cel's name was announced and she just won an accommodation gift certificate in Boracay (wow talaga sa swerte..). Next run will be on June 28. We have a rest this coming weekend. ..

60th Birthday Celebration

Papa and Tito Ronnie

Just before leaving...

Beautiful ladies..

My dear Father-in-law just turned 60 last June 9. We celebrated his 60th birthday at Tramway Garden Buffet at Timog. Together with other relatives, we have our lunch buffet last Saturday (June 13). There were no kids actually, except for Caitlyn, who enjoys going out the resto while we all enjoy our hearty lunch.

Hectic Weekend

Caitlyn in her fairy dress...ang cute!

Chey & Caitlyn ..with Chey's friends

posing after the marathon...hay sarap!!

I love being busy, of course with the company of friends and family...Last weekend has been a busy one. It started last friday night (06.5.09), where my former UCPB officemate/dear friend, Susan, celebrated her bongacious birthday bash at Coffee Nook @ El Pueblo. It has been a reunion for my former officemates. It has always been fun, good food and lots of drinks..but I had ice tea for this night..hehe! not really in the mood to drink.

Then last Saturday (06.6.09) was Caitlyn's 1st birthday. I thought the celebration will be on the afternoon, around 12 noon pala. The party was held at McDonald's Marcos Highway. The party was attended by family, relatives, and friends of my SIL. And as usual, I can't avoid the food there, hey...favorite ko dun..hehe! Dennis was the official photographer and while Byron, my BIL, took the videos. Its a good thing my hubby got the new videocam. After the program and hearty meal, Birdie and Hamburgular take the stage. The kids really adore them and I even take the opportunity to have a pictorial with them..hehe! antagal nila magpakuha parang ayaw..

The party ended at around past 2 P.M. In the evening, Dennis and I drove all the way to Lagro where will stay for the night coz it will be another day for me...my 2nd marathon..

TGIS! 06.7.09...Its 4 am when I finally get out of bed.. actually ako huling bumangon..lahat gising na and almost done. Dennis is our official driver/photographer for the marathon, since he's not really into it.. We left our house at 4:30 am. Imagine how fast I have to move to fix myself.. no make ups..hehe! Our first stop is to pick up my friend, Cel, who's also joining..Next stop, to pick up, Nikki, friend of my cousin na friend ko na din...hehe! Then off we went to the Fort. My brother, Sam, is getting too worried coz it was already past 5 am and we are still in Commonwealth..He joined the 15K run, which will start at 5:30 am..eh kaming lahat by 6am pa. We reached the location at exactly 5:30am. Late na bro ko, while us, even have warm up..onti lang. So ayun, we run at 6am..kakapagod pero it was still fun for me..same feeling of excitement I felt. After the marathon, we register again for another one to be held at U.P. (GIG run) on June 28. Addicting talaga. And then we had breakfast sa walang kasawa-sawang McDonald's...ulet..McDonald's weekend pala eto..mali ang title ng topic ko..
