Diamonds are Forever ( Christmas Get-together)


Warning: This blog entry doesn’t involve negative vibes, so expect good stories only. I repeat no negative vibes, just pure happiness. (Friends, I bet you know what I mean)

December 15, 2012 | Saturday | Yes, this is a Christmas Dinner/Get-together

What I love about December, it’s like I’ve been attending a get-together almost every week. Christmas party here and everywhere, I so love this season!

This weekend is dedicated for my highschool buddies. As planned, we dined at RSM in Halang, yes, not in McDo or anywhere in SM. SM is a hell of a crowded place, seems like all CalambeƱos are present and are all busy buying all their pamaskos. Good move to choose RSM.

The 13 of us: Me, Alexa, Hibek, Ceffrey, Froiland, Faith, Leomel, Oliver, Darwin, Krizia, Nard, Julie and Nona. FYI, this year’s organizer is Nona. I know you lovable readers (if you happen to know Nona) won’t believe, but yes, she, THE Nona, is this year’s organizer. <Slow clap for Nona!>







Delicious foods fill our empty and growling stomachs. It’s my first time to go there, and I must say that it’s a good place if you want to stay away from all the blockbuster restaurants in SM. The ambience is perfect for an event like that of a mini-Christmas party.

As expected, good and bad memories are brought up once again. But the good thing is, we’re just laughing at whatever memories we all shared way back our highschool years. We catch up on so many things and issues in life. What a happy life. Let’s define LOL on this part. Hahaha!

Want more pictures? I want!












More blogs about Christmas Get-together, up next!

Hooray for McHappy Day!


December 2, 2012 | Sunday | McKinley Hill
"In running, it doesn't matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say, 'I have finished.' There is a lot of satisfaction in that." -Fred Lebow, New York City Marathon co-founder
Running has become my new love. It’s very addicting. Every step, every sweat, every hingal gives more excitement. It gives me more determination to finish the race.

Another first happened just last Sunday. I, together with my younger brother, joined this year’s McHappy Day Fun Run. It was the first time that I joined the McHappy Day. Obviously, it is sponsored by McDonald’s Philippines with the help of other private business sectors. This activity aims to help the Ronald McDonald’s House of Charity.

Professional Runners, amateur runners, TV personalities, kids and even pets joined hand-in-hand to make the event a successful one. But you know what makes this Fun Run different from the others? This McHappy Day is not just a running event but also serves as a family day.

Here are the pictures!
 


DJ's random solo pictures :D

Mine's up next!


I feel sad because I can't upload some of my better pictures. They automatically rotate to 90 degrees. So for everyone's sake, I didn't include this in this entry. This is so sad. <Moving on>

Our souvenir!

Aside from the run, there are also fun activities that people can enjoy, that kids and kids-at-heart can enjoy.
 





I must say, this is the best Fun Run Activity I ever joined, so far. I am hoping to join next year’s McHappy Day Fun Run.

Hooray for Todaaaaaaay!

Superb Weekend!


WARNING! THIS IS A LONG ENTRY.

I personally believe that money can’t buy real happiness. I worked hard (okay, not so hard) to support my daily needs and to tolerate my selfish unnecessary expenses, but that doesn’t give me the satisfaction and contentment in life. A part of me envy those people who have luxury of time to do the activities they wanted to do, like reading, hanging out with friends, staying late just to watch their favorite TV shows, going on a date with loved ones, or even sleeping. (Though I don’t have any regrets on what God blessed me to have) And to those people who have to work 8hours or more just like me in everyday of their lives, a long weekend is something we always look forward. Happiness that money can’t buy. So, as I have my long weekend, this is how my rest days turned out to be a blast!

Friday | Christian Grey
I spent my first rest day reading Fifty Shades Darker. I’m in the book 2, and I’m hook by the way El James gives life to Christian Grey. I can’t resist not to read the book because it gets more exciting as you read one chapter to another. I’m not yet finish reading book 2 because I have to spend the night at Maligaya’s residence for tomorrow’s activity.

Saturday | SponsoRun Mo 2 Fun Run
My second time in joining a fun activity like this still feels like the first. Another set of good experiences, new environment, new set of co-runners, and newly found friends. This is such an epic day. I’m with my fun runner friends Kreng, Monica and Ranell. Too bad the working boy Jonas wasn’t able to come with us, as well as Kevin. Anyway, it was a raining day before the schedule of the fun run. But thankfully, Mr. Sun is up on the day of the run. The run starts at 5:30am, we arrived 6:10am. LATE COMERS indeed! Luckily, they let us to run despite our tardiness. 5K baby! It’s no joke. Unlike in BGC, our run in Nuvali is a bit easier. The roads are broad and straight making us to run smoothly. Marshalls were all polite and courteous in greeting all the runners. Very supportive ha. After the run, we went to Paseo to treat ourselves with delicious and mouth-watering pizza.

Just after the tiring fun run activity, we went to SM Calamba to watch a movie. Can’t believe we still have the energy for a movie date. We watched This Guy’s in Love With You Mare, a rom-com movie that gave me so much expectations. In a scale of 10, I gave a 5, not so high, not so low. Just right. (Okay, so much of being a movie critic) :-)


Our souvenir!




After the movie date, and my dates went home, I came to meet my mom and treat her for merienda. Kwento here and there. I’m so proud that I still have the energy! Whew!

You guys will not believe it, but after the fun run, the movie date and merienda date, I still have tons of energy to meet my high school friends for a get-together. Though I can’t deny that my body is aching, literally aching.  I’m a superwoman! Hahaha!





Do you think that’s the end of my day? Nah. Nah.

After our guy friends left us, I and the rest of the girls went to our house to chit chat. The never ending bonding.  Alexa and Rochelle decided to stay over the night while Nona, Krizia, and Faith decided to go home.

Che, Alexa and I watched movie and stayed awake until 3am. And yes, finally, I called it a day.

Sunday | A Secret Affair
A boring Sunday welcomes us, so as we wanted to make the most of my last rest day, we decided to watch Anne Curtis’ film, A Secret Affair. Actually, there’s a story behind our decision to watch the movie. Let’s just say that the showing of the movie is very timely, right Rochelle? Just kidding. Rochelle along with Archelle join us in watching ASA.

So here goes the movie critic again. :-) In a scale of 10, I gave the movie a score of 8. As I expect that this one is going to be another No-Other-Woman type of movie, it gives me a leap that this is way different from N.O.W. The camera techniques that were used, the script, the actors and even the concept deserve an 8-point score. Good job! The lines are cuteee and of course, Anne is exceptional.

"Yun nga yung sayang eh. I know the love is there pero wala na yung trust. And as much as I would like to fix this, the damage has been done."

And tada, that’s how I spent my long weekend! Superb isn’t it? Can’t wait for another long weekend in the next 3 days! Yeyyyy!
