A 'Not-so-Lucky' but FUN Day! =)

March 4 - My day started at 5am as I accompanied Kim in her first paid project: Photoshoot for an upcoming culinary school's brochure. I was sleepy the whole time 'coz I slept at 2am and work up at 4:30am.=P Anyway, it was just weird that Kim had fewer photos than the other models. But it's okay, credits for the experience! Uhm...and the P3000-worth of Dencio's Gift Certificate wasn't bad at all. haha!=))

at Terry's (Pasong Tamo)

How about some chill time at Greenhills after the shoot? Great idea!=))

 crazy shades!!!
 sizzlin' pepper steak

I was so sleepy that I fell asleep when we got home. When I woke up, I decided to go to my "real" house, but I wasn't able to stay there 'coz we had to accompany my grandmother to the dentist. While waiting for her, we all turned crazy!=))

 i heart you haha!

Then Maze failed to make it to the airport again. Therefore, she missed her Boracay trip again. haha! We went home for dinner and off we went to try our luck at Resorts World Casino!!! It's my first time actually. But "beginner's luck" didn't work for me. haha!=))

 First timers! haha

After playing inside, we spent some time to bond at the parking lot....more like a photoshoot! haha!=))

 hahaha! i love my friends!!!

Then Edge Manila team spend the rest of the night together at Mark's place. Another crazy photoshoot haha!=))


It was such a long day...but it was totally fun!=)

Brothers and Sisters


It's been a couple of weeks that I've been staying at my friends' house. They were three siblings (Jian, Dos, Kim) and it felt like I was the fourth and Mark was the fifth. haha! But that didn't stop there 'coz we keep growing in number. Maze became officially a sister....while Angelia was just a part time sister haha ('coz she's not really based here in Manila but in Iloilo).

March 3 - It was supposedly Maze' flight to Boracay but she chose to stay so we all went to Timberland to swim!=) Wow, we're all livin' a bum's life while our Kuya Mark's busy at work in his office in Eastwood. haha!=))

in the car
 Timberland!
 power rangers!=))
 yummy milkshakes!
go go power rangers! haha! (locker keys)
star!
sunset
what a good life! haha

We spent the night at Eastwood City where we had dinner (Dencio's) and watched a movie (don't ask what it was 'coz it bored me haha). Kuya Mark's work was done so he was able to join us.

 haha random craziness
 my brothers and sisters =P
 hey look up!=)
dinner (too little servings at Dencio's)

It was such a fun day with my pseudo-siblings!=) I am looking forward to more moments like these. I love my brothers and sisters! Truly awesome treasures.=)

Work and Play Part 1

I have been so busy since my friends and I started our business--an events and talents management company just last February 18. But we were not all work of course, 'coz we also know how to play while working.

Being together 24/7 resulted to so much attachment to each other. We're not just business partners, nor friends, but we consider ourselves siblings! I feel so lucky to have them with me.

How do we work and play at the same time? Well we work at day and party at night, or sometimes we just chill together. These photos show how we work and play, and how attached we were with each other...
