thanks god

Thanks God natapos din ang kalbaryo ko... I can breathe easy now! At least for a few more weeks.. Will not disclose any more information. =)

Some pictures I found and just need to share! I love these chinese soda cans. During our first night in Shekou.

Actually Jig namimiss kita!

Just have to send a shoutout to Patty who let me tag along to her five-star accommodations last week! Yumyumyum.. sarap kumain at matulog. The life of a blob rocks.

Alessa, kamusta ang buhay beach bum? So glad you got home safe after that super intoxicated phone call!!! But I love it, the beach-bummin-who-the-hell-cares-where-i'm-sleepin-tonight kind of life. We really need to go away together and get wasted on the beach sometime soon.

Miss you guys, magpa-foot spa tayo ulit!

the balikbayan brigade

I swear, this summer has just passed me by! Today is just the second day of school when I got to thinking... Nakapag-summer ba ako at all? Hmmmm... Let me count the ways.

1. After school was out I got to be an award-winning couch potato;

2. Tutored Jennie from BSM;

3. Went to Bohol and had a picture taken with a tarsier on my shoulder;

4. Then a few other couch potato episodes;

5. Then they arrived.

Check out THE BALIKBAYAN BRIGADE (tan tanan tan!!!!!)

It was just sheer chaos... and too much fun. Tito Manny's whole family from Redwood Shores, CA including their families and the families of his wife Tita Corinne's siblings were there. I don't think I've ever had a more jampacked three weeks in my life.

At Terrazas de Punta Fuego with our convoy of ten (take note: 10) cars, vans, SUVs, name it. Give yourself five seconds. Can you find me?

When we ate at Dalampasigan in Nasugbu for lunch it was so funny how our table had to be curved to a U-shape kasi hindi talaga kami kasya. Ask anyone (especially when we all congregate in Tagaytay), the Galvez family is really notorious for its number.

Welcome the Bagets.. Hailing from QC the Real OC (thanks Ale) and the ones from the real Orange County in Cali.

Hindi ko ma-explain yung intensity nung gimmickan namin because most of us are in our late teens and early twenties, so todo labas talaga. Tipong every night wasak tapos out of town kami the next morning, may mga hangover pa. Special mention to Brandon and Jeremy, mga bawal uminom sa US pero dito walang bawal bawal! Favorite line ni Jeremy: "Waiter, could I have another Vodka RedBull?"

The best nung tinanong nila sakin at Mezze...

(Muffin drinking a tall glass of Weng Weng)
Noelle: Muff, what's your drink?
Muffin: It's called Weng Weng.
Noelle: What's in that drink?
Muffin: Beats me... some hard ass stuff.
Jeremy: So, why's it called Weng Weng?
Muffin: Because after a few big sips you'll feel like, "weng.... weng.... weng..."
(Wahahahahahahaha)

Nakakamiss sila!!!!!! They're been gone a few weeks but I miss them a lot. So glad to catch up with them again. Totoo nga, friends come and go but what can be better than having family as friends too?
