Valentine's Weekend

February 12-13

Overnight Trip

Seafront Resort at Iba, Zambales

Singles' Out of Town Trip! For those who weren't singles before the trip, they were already singles after the trip! haha! I dunno why there were so many couples breaking up before, during, and after Valentine's day.

I had the best road trip ever! It's the birth of the Mobile Club/Bar plus a new group called KSP. No need to share what it means haha!=))

Chinese New Year & Valentine's Salubong

Manor Superclub, Eastwood City

Right after Zambales, we went to Manor Superclub to celebrate Chinese New Year and Single's Valentine's haha!=)) Thanks DJ Ace for inviting us. We're too tired to party much so we just chilled at Jack's Loft.

The day I wished was not part of the Calendar haha!=))

Dinner date with Angelia at Mr. Kurosawa. Dani came, so were the Jabbawockeez guys. Haha so cool we got introduced, at least I didn't need to purchase a ticket just to meet them hahaha!=)) Too bad I forgot my camera at home.

MOBILE CLUB!!! :)

Long trips by land are great when you know how to enjoy during the trip...

I and eight more friends planned an overnight trip to a friend's resort in Zambales last February 12.

On our way to Iba, Zambales, around 10pm...

We brought Encore on the roads! Who says we can't party on a Friday night while on an out of town trip???

van + strobes + party music + party people =  MOBILE CLUB/BAR!!!!

Our favorite was the NLEX drive on our way back to Manila. It's so funny how the toll gate persons reacted. hahaha!=))

Revisiting Timberland

Yesterday was my 2nd time in Timberland Heights in San Mateo, Rizal.=) Thanks to my friend Jian, whose club membership allows him to take us there haha!

But first, let's review what happened during my 1st time there, July of last year.

Oh...photoshoot! All of these photos were taken by Jian Alvarez.

i love this drink...I think it's called Tropical Fizz (photo by Mark Duma)

Yesterday, we brought my friend Angelia to Timberland for some "overlooking Metro Manila" experience. haha!

This time...we were there for some food trip and sight-seeing!=P

 this is called the "love potion"

yummy sashimi, except the squid haha

very tasty Bistek Tagalog

sunset

Timberland is a place perfect for relaxation. They got yummy food, complete amenities, and nice views. It  may be far from the city, but it doesn't mean a long drive. It's just 15 minutes away from Quezon City and Marikina City.=)

We got plans of staying there overnight either on the last week of February or 1st week of March. I just wish that getaway will push through (fingers crossed).

Friends Meet Politics

Elections is coming near and I think a lot of people I know have been preparing for the past few months for their campaigns.

Let's see who's on the list:

1. MIRO QUIMBO - Congressman, District 2 , Marikina City

My frat bro and husband of my sorority sister...and I think I was right in convincing him to pursue politics in our city last November 2008.

2. SUSANA "JUDY" MAGTUBO - Councilor, District 2, Marikina City
She's my friend KM's mom and the wife of Cong. Renato Magtubo. Their family's one of those I have spent a really long time with, most especially during our high school days.

my friend KM and Tita Judy

3. PIA AGATEP - Councilor, Lasam, Cagayan

I'm quite unsure if she has campaign materials available already. But if she wins, I think she'll be the youngest councilor in the Philippines.

4. ALFRED VARGAS - Councilor, District 2 , Quezon City

A celebrity trying his luck on politics. But hanging out with his group last summer in Boracay proved to me that he's a good man.

5. KIT BELMONTE - Congressman, District 2, Quezon City

It was only at a birthday party last December when I met him and found out that he's my fraternity brother and learned about his political aspirations. Such a cool guy.

 

6. MIKE DEFENSOR - Mayor, Quezon City

And I didn't know that he's running. I just saw brod Mike's posters around Batasan.

And I became more involved with politics when I got to meet these candidates in several affairs:

BIRTHDAY PARTY of a media friend

  

Senatorial Candidate Mr. Ramon Mitra

VP Candidate Edu Manzano

Presidential Candidate Gibo Teodoro

GREEN VOTE: A forum on Environmental Platforms of Political Candidates which was organized by my college organization last week.

advocate of the environment VP candidate Sen. Loren Legarda

with my friend Myka's uncle, Presidential Candidate Nick Perlas

it was a successful project!=)

Congrats UP STPA!:)

And up to now, I still don't know who should I vote for. Still got a lot of assessments to do.

Let's vote wisely everyone!=)

Oh, and I didn't know that today is the kick-off of the campaign period. I just saw it in the news a while ago. haha! What a perfect timing to blog about politics.=P

Fun and Fabulous Friends Forever!

I still can't get over of last night. It was an epic!=)

 

Dinner at Eastwood...then convoy on our way to ENCORE!=)

Top 3 reasons to celebrate:

1. MAGIC 7 was complete! This time, no minus one nor minus two. We're SEVEN! yey! And it's a "drink 'til we drop" night for we got a VIP table worth Php 8000, which I think we were not really able to consume up to the last peso.

 

nice photo...if only without the smoke! haha

who wanna get drunk?

2. A good friend of mine from Iloilo was here in Manila for vacation! We finally got to party together again after a very long time, 'coz the last time I saw her was in Iloilo on November '09, but we weren't able to hangout much. And the last time she was here in Manila was during her Starstruck days, before getting eliminated at the Top 20. Oh, she's Gabby Ong by the way, but she's still Angelia Ong to us.=)

3. Our good friend Dani was back from Switzerland! He's been away for the longest time and we're so glad that we finally got to party together again. The last time we partied was around June '09 I guess. And now he's back...and so was Mickey! I missed these guys. Too bad, Ryan left for Switzerland so he's not with us...but Gee-ann and Serg were as fun as well.=)

Dani, we missed you!!!

who's missing? RYAN!!! you better come back now!

SERG...our new dancing buddy!=P

dancing with Mickey and Gee-ann

It was one of the best parties I ever had! For sure, there's more to come! I'm so lucky to have such fun and fabulous friends!=)

the girls

the boys

EVERYBODY!!!!

An Apple a Day...Keeps the Badtrip Away! =P

It was only now that I got to check out the Apple iPad thoroughly. Last week, when everybody's in a craze over this new innovation from Apple, I was too preoccupied by some other stuff. And I just heard about this Apple iPad through my friend's retweet of @bryanboy's tweet: "The world doesn't NEED a bigger iPod Touch." hahaha! And I actually agree! I guess if you already have an iPod Touch or iPhone 3GS and a Macbook, those could already keep you from getting an Apple iPad.

But wait 'til you see this video from Apple...

Oh my...Watch it closely and listen carefully to what it says...wouldn't you want to own one? Oooh...temptation...temptation...temptation! hahaha!=))

$ 499? Hmm...let's compute: $ 499 x Php 45 = Php 22,455!
Let's compare to iPhone 3Gs 16gb = Php 34,200 (via Ebay Philippines)
Plus the fact that cellphones easily get stolen...

Goodbye iPhone...Hello iPad! hahaha! Omg, I got less than 3 months before my birthday...
Uhm, calling all my relatives abroad...FedEx and UPS are always ready to serve you. hahaha!=))

Horoscope is getting freaky!

I downloaded the Daily Horoscope application to my Blackberry two weeks ago. I make it to a point that I read my Horoscope every single day, but I tend to forget it sometimes.

During the first few days I was using this application, I really enjoyed it. It gave me a lot of advices, it was able to explain why things happened, and its predictions even came true. It usually matches the situation I'm in.

But this time, it's already freaking me out! It seems like it knows everything about me--the things I do, my feelings, my decisions, and everything that's running in my head.

It was only tonight that I was able to check my Daily Horoscope because I have been busy the whole day thinking how would I express my disappointment to my boss. Well it's kind of a long story to explain why I'm feeling this way, but I am so sure that I want to talk to him so he would know how disappointed I am with him. And just a few minutes ago, I got shocked about what my Horoscope said:

Don't let your disappointment in someone show if you can help it. If you believe that someone has let you down, try to be empathic and put yourself in that person's shoes. You may have had very high expectations and that's a lot of pressure for this particular individual to handle. Maintaining a "good try, better luck next time" kind of attitude will make everyone involved feel a lot better. If you really allow that sentiment to sink in, you will indeed make out better next time. Maintain your faith and be more realistic in your expectations.

And so I have written this blog entry!
