US mems... I miss you guys!!!

Boston, Massachusetts. The land of Ally McBeal and The Big Dig, the land of Harvard and MIT.. Actually, it's just the land of Kuya Gino, who treated me to a surprise US Airways flight from Los Angeles to Boston not too many months ago.

Here we are at this happenin' club called Mantra in the freezing city of Boston, MA.



Kuya's friends Raffy and Carmina del Rosario live in New York where Carmina is a shoe designer! Isn't that d coolest? They were the nicest people too.



This is Ria del Rosario, Raffy's sister, who used to study in Poveda. We were together in the Drama Club grade school days.. can you believe it? Now she lives in Boston. This is Brent, her boyfriend, and yours truly.



South San Francisco, CA. With Mielly in her house and in front of that cafe where we ate the meanest blue cheese burgers ever. I miss you Mielly!!! New Manila and SBC ain't the same without ya!!!!





Vanness, dahil mahal kita, I had to run after this cable car just to take a shot.




Onli In Da Pilipins

This is what I was missing in the US.. Only my beloved Aers of course! Sleepover at my place, with Barbie, Kim, Candice, Kaich, me, and Miam. Bea was smoking outside during that time. Magic mic all night, 5 bottles of red wine, cuervo, potato chips, dip and other chichiria. Fun, fun, fun.



Anyway. Moving on.

Congratulations to my soul sista Donut Bajones Galvez. On being officially discharged by the Poveda Community. Good job Jones!! You make our mama and dada proud.



Happy Anniversary also to my dearest Mama and Dada on their 27th year. Here they are with my anniversary gift.. A paper ball made by my co-teacher with different thank you notes inside. I love you both!! "You're the meaning in my life, you're the inspiration..."



And, YES. I am officially a teacher in a secret institution. Hehehehe. It's really grueling and tedious, but I've met some great people who if not for them, I would most definitely have slept right through the first few days of work. Here are my ladies at the secret institution.



Yo yo yo to Pam, Ria, and Ma'am Chu!! See you on Monday for more SRP!!!! WOOOOHOOOOO SARAP MAG-SRP!!!!!!!! (Ya rayt.)

My messy area.



Whoops. Shame on me. Sleeping when I should be working.



And today's lunch at Sbarro, Megamall, with Miss Rose Villareal, Social Studies teacher of Grade 12. Hay naku.. because we made lakwatsa, na-late kami sa bundy ng 15 minutes. Sorry nalang. Bawas sa leave. Hehehehe.



Bad lighting due to Sbarro's red lighting. Zorreeeeeee.

By the way, I want to give a shoutout to Roi who just got back from the US! Kwento ka naman pare! And don't ya worry about them flowers. Wala na yun men. :)

Candice, asan ka na ba sa Europa? Manila ain't the same without you! (She sent me this exact same message when I was there last year and she was here.) Magparamdam ka naman!! Miss ya girl!

Ok, you. Hope you're well. Be silly, stay silly, make other people happy, and pray the rosary.

Kisses. Muffin

officially busabos

I just realized my latest pictures make me a perfect candidate for the most-unkept- 23-year-old beauty pageant.

Found some pictures from Tags with my mom and sis taken during New Year. Pansinin ang floral boxers. Actually I'm wearing them now. Haha.



This is in the house with the I-just-came-from-the-Mahogany-Meat-Market-and-decided-to-take-a-picture-when-I-get-home-look.

This is right before New Year fooling around in our parents' bed. Sabi ko close up pa. Nevermind the big ass zit on my chin.



The three people who drive me nuts. Can't live with them. Can't live without them.



After fetching sis at school. Burger King Galleria. Perhaps one of my better days. But then again, better na ba iyan? Parang ganun din.

March 3. Mommy's 84th birthday. What would I look like at 84? My slammin' lola, on the other hand, looks like this. At freakin' 84.



Cheers to you, Mommy!! You are definitely the coolest lola around. Thank you, thank you, I love you.

These are the del Rosario ladies. Well some of us, at least. During one of Mommy's past birthday parties. During that time, pink was the new green. Or something. Check out the uber short hair, by the way.



Paris hotel in Las Vegas, October 24, 2004. Imagine, still jetsetting at 83! I was just in it for the ride. And the eat-till-you-die buffets, of course. I wear sweaters to conceal indigestion.



Mommy with my new cousin, Boey. Talk about spanning generations.



And the rest of us. After a very hearty meal. Obvious ba.



March 5. Denise's birthday. Jack's Loft, Wilson. Mga bagets sa kama, mga oldies sa sofa. Masakit daw sa likod yung kama. Arthritis kicks in on bad restaurant seating. Hahaha.

Fooling around. Look at my dad. Ganyan talaga siya matulog. Joke.



Kuya ko ayaw makisali sa pose namin. Tawa pa ng tawa. Asar.



Anton, Michael, Jigger and his girlfriend Tin. In one of the beds.



Tin, me and birthday. Talk about having a bright blue bra for everyone to see.



My parting shot. I am officially an AMAZONA. Imagine I did this pose in the presence of other Jack's Loft patrons. Well, audacity was always my best quality.



See?
Not even a remotely decent picture in the bunch. But what the hell. Being busabos is a lot more fun than having to dress up fo-sho. I love being me. And I love making my whole family do my stupid poses. Fun, fun, fun.

Anyway. I'm getting bored.

So, goodnight, all. I am off to another exotic destination in Korea now. Wherever my novelas take me. So far I'm in Shanghai, China. Ni Hao. Wo xie Muffin. Yada yada. Adios amigos.
