Alabang Pictures With Friends

I haven't been to Alabang, Muntinlupa. I actually just went there with Church friends last Saturday. It was about 30 minutes jeepney ride from where I live. I haven't been to Muntinlupa and since Iwas with friends, and they know about the place and the Mall where the jobfair was going to take place, we didn't need a garmin trucker gps to locate the mall at Alabang! I was comfortable seated in the jeepney and make a little chat with my friends.

The mall wasn't open yet when arrived in Alabang. So we waited outside. There were already a lot of members of Iglesia Ni Cristo, anxious for the mall to open so that they can take advantage of the Caravan.

I had a hard time uploading these photos last week. But here are some of them now:

Excited For Palawan Trip This Weekend!

I'm excited about this coming weekend. I thought I won't be able to go with Raquel, Michelle and Jon because of my new job. But... lo and behold! I asked permission from my very nice supervisor for a vacation leave and she approved it! Yahoo! I'll be out of town this weekend, off to the beautiful land of Puerto Princesa, Palawan! I'm really so excited right now!

At last, I'll be reunited with the couple Michelle and Jon with of course, the good friend of ours, Raquel. I'm pretty sure I will definitely have a great time with them!

Finally Solitary After A Long Day!

It's been a long day today! It's amazing because I've done a lot of things today and I can't believe I've done all that in just one day.


First, I woke up early this morning to participate in Jose Rizal's 150th birthday celebration. Jose Rizal is our national hero. Commemorating his birthday is not really a bad idea. It was intended to be a "fun run" but it was raining cats and dogs so my Church friends and I didn't stay longer at the Luneta Park. We still have to attend to our Church obligations so we went home early.



Second, I was able to do my Church obligations and attended Church service. It's always nice to be able to hear God's words even though the weather isn't that good today. I went back to Church in the afternoon to participate in pagpapahid ng langis (anointing). I have been sick lately and I believe that God is the Almighty Healer. He's taken away my sickness. And I really felt so lightheaded after being smeared with oil.

Third, after the ceremony, I had a meeting with Church friends at an apartment. We had an open forum which actually hasn't ended yet and we are going to have to resume on some other day. We had dinner at the same house. It was just a simple dinner but it was really fun!

Now I'm back in my room, I'm back in my solitary. I like it this way. After a long day, it's finally peace and quiet!

I really had a great day today. Thank You, Lord for this day! :)

A Visit To Manila Zoo

Last Saturday, it was Iglesia Ni Cristo's 1st Unity Game. I have posted on my other blog about my participation by running a 400 meter-dash which almost made me collapse on the track! LOL!

Anyway, after that run, I went with Church friends (Irene, Jhong, Junnel and Jeff) in Manila Zoo. It was my first time to visit the zoo after more than 3 years of living here in Manila. :D I had fun checking out the animals. Most of all, I had a great time with my friends!









I actually have been going out lately. Who says being jobless could be boring? I'm lucky to have friends to spend great moments with!

A Night With Church Friends

I went out with Church friends last night. I haven't been doing anything at all the previous week. So I went ahead and had fun with friends. I was glad I didn't think twice about joining them last night. :D

We went to a friend's house to eat and chat. It wasn't anyone's birthday party. We just hang out. No liquor served. It was just a simple get-together. I hope we do a lot of these or it would be better if I receive birthday party invitations this month as well!

Here are some of the pictures we took last night!






I just can't help but smile whenever I browse the pictures. I really had fun last night! :D

Unable To Donate Blood... :(

Last Saturday, I woke up early because I was invited to participate in blood letting at New Era University. It's also one of our activities at Church. I was really excited about it because I have been wanting to donate some of my blood since last year. I thought to myself, I can finally help others by donating my blood.

Much to my dismay, when we got to the school where blood letting was going on, I didn't pass on the weighing. They don't allow those who are below 50 kilos. Unfortunately, I only weigh 49.5 kilos. I was really disappointed. I even insisted, ate at a nearby restaurant, hoping to increase my weight. But to no avail! I just watched my friends getting their blood transfused in a container. Sigh.

The least I can do is take some photos of ours! :D And have some fun with my friends!

A Date With Michelle And Friends... :D

After burning calories and doing my abs exercises at the the gym yesterday, I went to Boni High at Taguig City to meet up with my cousin Michelle and 2 of her office mates. I met them up at Contis Restaurant and was surprised with the delectable dishes that they've already ordered while waiting for me. There was a plate of Buffalo Wings, 4 plates of different Pasta, fish fillet with fries on the side and the yummy cake for dessert! Geez! Too bad I wasn't able to bring my camera with me. Anyway, I just couldn't help but give in to the tempting food right in front of me! LOL! I got a lot to burn at the gym on Monday.

Right after our BRUNCH, we went to Market Market and bought new clothes. I was able to buy a dress that I have been eying at a different mall. The price was cheaper at Market Market so I didn't hesitate to buy it for myseft! I'm excited to wear it later for Church service! :D

Michelle then brought me to a facial clinic. She also got worried about my pimples. They're growing on my face again. I'm a bit stressed out lately.

I can say that I splurged yesterday but the spending is all worth it! I've been working all week and have been very busy at Church lately. A little bit of spending sometimes can help forget about stress!

To say the least, I had a blast with Michelle and her friends! Looking forward to doing it again with them some other time! :D

Spent Time With Vinoya Family...

I spent time bonding with the newly weds - Michelle and Jon together with Jon's family in Lake Sebu the other day. Lake Sebu is a municipality in South Cotabato that is known for it's natural lake, stunning 7 waterfalls and their T'Boli culture. It has become even more popular because of their 200-meter zipline right above the 5 water falls - the highest zipline in the country! It was a thrilling experience being able to experience riding the zipline! Almost everyone of us took the chance to experience the adrenaline rush - zipping!

Too bad, I wasn't able to bring my digital camera. I still have to wait for the Michelle to upload photos from her camera. It was so careless of me to forget it! :D I'll be making another entry for the photos. I just want to say for now that I really had a great time with the Vinoya family. I also took advantage of being able to spend time with Michelle and Jon. Who knows, maybe next year or the years to come, they will be making baby birth announcements! We won't have the chance to do something adventurous like the one we had in Lake Sebu! Besides, I might move back here in Mindanao for good. That's my tentative plan, actually. So I took advantage of the moment to spend with the couple!

The Lake Sebu photos will be posted soon! So please stick around! :D

Citi Of Angels

Last Saturday was our account's Christmas Party and annual recognition day. It was a night of fun! The party was called "Citi Of Angels" wherein, obviously, most employees wore angel costumes. I didn't because I don't want to spend as much. LOL! I performed with other singers that night and we called ourselves "the Sessionistas".

Here are some of the photos:

The roof deck of our building was filled with angels!:D

Posing with the white and black angels...

Pretty friends/teammates! :D

Isn't he a cutie? LOL!

The Sessionistas

It was tiring but it was a rockin' night! :D

Shopped At Gingersnaps Warehouse

Night market at Pasig City was canceled yesterday. It was all my fault. So Judith, Julie and I ended up going home early after. We we're able to go to Gingersnaps warehouse though, which is also located in Pasig City. It was a long ride but it's all worth it. I was able to buy skirts at very low prices! Unfortunately, we got there an hour before the warehouse closes. So we really weren't able to buy a lot of clothes. We hope to go back there soon and do our best to be there earlier.

Here are some photos with my girl friends! :D

I always enjoy being with these friends of mine! It's fun knowing that you can share and do something fun with real friends!

Pictures To Remember Judith's 27th Birthday!

Yesterday was a day of fun with friends! We celebrated Judith's 27th birthday at Julie's newly renovated home. Here are the photos that say how much fun we had!

The birthday girl so happy to have read greetings for her on Facebook! :D

Our favorite Ambers delicacies
Pancit Malabon and piche2x

Baby Lajon more excited to blow the candle! hahaha!

He doesn't like eating too much, does he? LOL!

The birthday girl with pretty Julie and Lajon

Shots with the birthday girl!

haha!

Thanks a lot Julie and baby Lajon for being such great hosts! Thanks for letting us invade your new home! Love you both! Mwahh!

Nauseous But Had A Great Time With Friends

I got home a few minutes ago feeling nauseous. I ate plenty of food before I went on my way home. The pollution in EDSA, a few minutes ride in the bus and walking past 2 footbridges made me really dizzy. A cup of coffee and a few minutes at the comfort room made me feel better! LOL!

I was with friends earlier today : Judith and Julie and Julie's cuddly 3-year old boy - Lajon. Today is Judith's birthday and we decided to celebrate it at Julies new home after my workout this morning. Judith and I were the first friends of Julie who invaded her newly renovated home. We brought along with us some delicious foods (pancit Malabon and piche-piche) from our favorite Ambers Restaurant.

Geez! Why couldn't I control myself from eating a lot? Then I have to punish myself on my workout tomorrow. It's going to be an intense workout for sure!

It's a happy day, to say the least. I was able to celebrate a dear friend's birthday! And was able to bond with true friends and wrestle with the little-big boy! I'll be posting the photos tomorrow.

Karaoke After Work And Money Matters

After our shift ended at work today, my friends: Julie, Judith and I did karaoke at the office. Yeah, a karaoke at work! :D A lot of call center companies have this type of room for sure! Our company just got one recently. It also has a billiard pool in it. Other companies actually got a gym, ours don't. It would have helped me save some money if they offer free workout program for us! :D

Me singing my heart out with 2 pretty friends! :D

I missed singing so I invited my friends to hang out at that room today. I had fun! I know they did too! We just stayed there for about an hour and headed home.


It's time to pay bills tomorrow. Time to pay for the apartment, internet service, my pension plan water and electric bill! Geez! Money is slipping away again! Lol! I should have signed up for an affordable term life insurance rather than the pension plan I'm paying for every month! Well, pension plan will still be a big help in the future. I'll just sign up for the insurance when I'm done paying for the pension plan.

Despite money matters, I'm glad I was able to have some fun with girlfriends today! It's just a wonderful way of ending our work week! It's 3 days off after today! I'm not planning to go out because I don't have enough money to spend anymore! LOL! It's time to relax and pretty much stay at home! :D
