Of long weekends and Nostalgia

Spent the long weekend at Ilocos with my highschool friends. I am so glad I joined the trip. Every penny was worth it. The great scenery, the trip, the food, the bonding, the pictures, everything about it was a great and fun, fun, fun experience.

'Twas my second time to visit the place. The first was in June 2010 with my friends from Meralco. However, I was still blown away by the beauty of Ilocos - the vintage establishments, the history, and the beach.

From L to R: Maricar.Princess.Camille.Dim.Jojo.Gene.Jhul.Kit.ME.Mikes.Rona.

The whole trip was crazy and full of excitement and laughter. There was never a dull moment while we were awake. It was like running back and forth memory lane. We talked about a lot of stuff; most are crazy and some are serious. Oh my, it was really fascinating to see how each of us have grown and  matured but is still the same person that we were back in highschool. One got engaged already; most are still single; one is heartbroken; the other came out of his closet and is more gay than I can imagine. All of us have a job but still figuring out if we really are on the right track.

It was fun to look back on the old days. The place was perfect for our trip because it was like going back in time when we were just highschool kids who dreamt of having the perfect job and making good money.

P.S. I highly recommend EXPLORE NORTH. They offer affordable and well-organized tour packages. Check them out.

Spell cool? "T-O-D-A-Y-!"

Today was awesome. Planned a Valentine weekend with my Meralco "couple" friends (Rhoss and John, Leri and Francel, Kat and Anjo, and of course, Mitch and I) at Subic. Booked a round trip flight to Palawan with Musiqality scheduled on March. Can this day get any cooler? I don't think so. Fast forward to February 12 please!! Then to March 5!! :)

Lord, thank you for this day! :)

keepin' hopes up high =]

I woke up with a good mood today. Wish it will be that way till later. Though yesterday sucked big time, I guess there's nothing wrong with keeping my hopes up high, right? We'll be going out later for the station of the cross and I don't know what will happen next. I just hope we won't be attending the Seven Last Words again. Ang haba -haba nun eh. I remember last year we were inside the church almost the whole day and most part of it was spent on hearing the Seven Last Words. Nakaka-exhaust din lalo na't sobrang init and ang daming tao.

Had a dream about going to Baguio. UKay galore. Maybe that's why I had a good start for this day. Know what, maybe I really should do that. I really should go to Baguio. :) Pero after na lang ng graduation march. I heard pag graduating prone sa mga accidents eh. Better safe than sorry, I always say.

Everybody, may we all have a meaningful good friday :)

..on travelling

I've been from bulacan to laguna back and forth every now and then and sad to say, for a couple of months now, that's the farthest I was able to get from home. I miss going on a trip, yung long drive... the ones where stopovers are required. I have this feeling that I've been a downer lately. Ang boring lang ng buhay ko ngayon eh. Everyday is just like yesterday. Nakaka-relate pa rin ako kay Veronika of Veronika Decides to Die. How pathetic can I get?

Anyway, I heard dad's going to Palawan on April. I really wish he'd let me come. Goodluck naman diba? Goodluck namang isama niya ako sa business trip niya. But who knows, he might want some company this time. Most of the time, my days can't even get plainer than ever. Total bore talaga. Like now, Hell's Kitchen lang ang pinagkakaabalahan ko. It sucks, I know right. Sana a more exciting day is waiting ahead for me.

I wanna go to an unfamiliar place and actually have fun.
