backlogs!

1. Warning: super late post-birthday post (OMG, what happened to me?! *Sigh*) Thanks to my now ex-teammates (Bo Sanchez's books) and my friend Agnes (an Esprit bag) for the gifts.

2. I attended the SGV Alumni Homecoming last July 20, together with my then teammates Mike (from Tax) and Lems (from Cebu branch). We had a great time, enjoying the food and each others' company and picturetaking. We had an opportunity to pose with (THE) Mr. Wash Sycip and I had a few minutes with my boss, Boss JAF.


3. Last August 3, as Mrs. President Cory Aquino's remains were being transferred from La Salle Greenhills to Manila Cathedral, the cortege passed by Ayala Avenue. The nationalism in us urged us to go out of our building and pay our last respect to her. Never mind the heat and the crowd, we were thankful to be a small part of the Philippine history.

the weekend that was sep 12-13: overdue

Last night, I had a sumptuous dinner with friends at John and Yoko. It was raining so hard and I was not sure if I can catch the last Binakayan shuttle trip so Irvin fetched me at the office. We were home at around 1 AM.

Saturday. A day of disappointments. First, we were supposed to go swimming but the plan was cancelled. Second, we bathed in the rain but it didn’t rained too hard. Haaay. We were able to watch (for the nth time) Rush Hour with Tatay. Irvin had a boys night out at Island Cove while I stayed at home, catching up on some readings.

Sunday. Chat with Ate and Rush Hour 2 with Tatay. :)

thought for today

Thanks, Bernadette!

Yes, weekend!

It's closing time and again, I've been harrassed by work. It's a tiring week for me. Irvin fetched me at around 4 AM of Saturday. Luckily, I got to sleep for 5 hours before going to Rosario. Just the usual family time. (I cried over an MMK episode starring Helen Gamboa and John Wayne Sace, it broke my heart.)

Sunday. I got to chat with Ate for 3 hours! Irvin and I went to SM to buy a DVD player for my Tatay :)

drooling over robin!

I still remember the day I bought this issue. I was calmly walking on my way to the office when I saw Robin Padilla on the cover of FHM in a magazine stand at 7-11. My feet dragged me through the glass door, my hands absentmindedly caught the copy. I paid for it and walked away with a huge smile on my face.

Haaaay! Excuse me, I need to wipe something off my face.

Another long weekend for me!

Fiesta sa Tanza kaya naman kesa problemahin ko ang transportation papasok at pauwi, I opted to take a leave. Nagpunta kami sa Cavite City para pick-up-in 'yung in-order naming panghanda, nagpaluto dun sa caterer namin nung kasal. Pag-uwi siyempre tumikim agad kami, hehehe! Nagpunta kami sa Suzuki Service Center, malapit lang kila Irvin. Then, nag-goodbye na kami kay Paula. Flight nya today.

Smooth naman ang araw. Gabi na dumating ang mga visitors. Usually mga relatives ni Nana at friends ni Enald. Napagod ako kasi nakikipaghabulan ako sa mga bata, in short, nakikibata. Bad trip din dahil hindi ko naabutan ang fireworks. Okey naman ang lahat.

The usual lang ang Saturday at Sunday ko. I took the chance to rest because I know that the coming week will be a busy one. (In fact, August 31 is a holiday but I have to work. Waaah!)

Tita (to Daddy): E kamusta naman si Lance…?

Daddy: Yan, isa pa yan! Napakabait! (sarcastic tone ulet)

Lex: Bakit hindi ako?!

Friday. Thank God it's holiday! This is one of the rare opportunities that I get to take advantage of holidays so I made this day a memorable one.

Paula will be working abroad and will not be back until after 2 years. She still has a week-long stay here in the Philippines so I grabbed the chance to be with her. I asked if she want us to have lunch at Tagaytay or if she prefers to watch Harry Potter 6, knowing that she still haven't watched it. She favors Harry Potter so Harry Potter it is!

We had lunch at Aveneto and went straight to IMAX after. This is a first for all of us.

We had a great time together. Old friends are really as precious as gold. Love you, Hips!

I had a usual Saturday - reading, ironing clothes, TV.

Sunday. Irvin, Agnes and I were off to Robinson's Imus early to watch And I Love You So (Bea Alonzo, Sam Milby and Derek Ramsay from Star Cinema). This is my second time to watch the movie, the first time was with my teammates last Wednesday. I enjoyed the movie so I don't have any uncertainties watching it again.

That afternoon, Nana, Enald and Hazel and Irvin and I attended Yuan's birthday at Amaya. We had real quality family time.

That evening, we Irvin and I accompanied Enald and Hazel to Cavite City to check out the laptop being sold by a friend. We went home with the Toshiba laptop. Good for you, Hazel!

Whew! This had been a eventful weekend :)

at long last...

At long last, I am back to blogging. What happened to me? Well, I really don't know. I think I just have to regroup my shattered thoughts and find extra time amidst the busyness of my schedule.

I just moved to another team where every month-end closing seems to be a challenge. For the past few weeks, I have been working late, loading information to my little timid brain and analyzing the increase and decrease of every account.
What about weekends? Weekends are the best times of my week. I get to bond with my parents and my husband so I don't waste so much time in front of the computer.

To my blogger friends, I am sorry that I have not been able to visit your sites for quite a while.

Oh well, I wish I could prove that I really am back to my blogging self.
