Deejay's farewell dinner

Monday--January 26, 2009

Greenbelt 3

I got a long weekend and I planned to go to La Union and Baguio with Ayka and Weng but then unexpected things happened and it was postponed. One of the reasons why was DJ..she was in town and she wanted us and our other highschool batchmates to meet up. Well, I'm cool with it. Who doesn't want to see her batchmates, right?

Meeting place: Starbucks, Greenbelt 3

Okay..I arrived first in the meeting place. Good for me. I think I'm now a punctual person. Thank god for our company rule which is--one can't be late even a minute. hahaha! Then, DJ arrived then followed by Carlo, Astrah, Apyang (though she's not our batchmate but she's like an adopted alread..;]) then Miguel. Oh! we were busy calling people to confirm if they were coming or not while waiting for the others to arrive. mmmm! Some people are just too busy that it's hard for us to have a get together...after few minutes, we decided to look for a restaurant so that we can have dinner...Gosh! Everybody was hungry already...

Krocs grill, Greenbelt 3

All right, we had some drinks before ordering food then snapping of pictures then chatting about our lives then other people's lives or shall I say our batchmates' lives.

The topics were:

1. the high school love teams--the unforgettable high school love teams like sssshhhh...

2. the batchmates who got married--Oh! we made a list and I think it was quite a long list. Maybe I'll post it one of these days.

3. our career and lovelife--I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing that everyone of us are single hahaha!. When it comes to career, I think everybody or maybe almost everybody are contented.

To wrap it up, the dinner was great. It was so fun! It struck me how I miss my high school friends, our school and our escapades. I'm also glad that we had that dinner since it was DJ's farewell party. It might take us years again to meet. For us who are still here, hope we will find time to hang out...

Long awaited weekend of the Angels

It's been months since we last saw each other. The last time was in Grace's birthday and it was ages ago. Anyway, the ultimate reason why it took us months to hang out together was our SCHEDULE especially Grace, Weng and I...So guilty that we some kinda stood up Nancy and Ayka. They were the ones who kept on bugging us about our meeting. Grace and I were too busy last term because of our papers and Weng had busy sched. Busy, busy...blame it to our sched..hahaha!

The long awaited weekend...

Finally, we decided to meet last SUNDAY. Since it was the only time that we were all vacant. hahaha! The time was settled but there were last minute a night before. Instead of going to Tagaytay, we ended up hanging out in Alabang...Well, it was not bad since it seemed like we were in Tagaytay because of the weather. It was so chilly.

PLAN:

Meeting place: ATC at 11:00AM
Lunch: West gate
After Lunch: Bowling
Late afternoon: Have coffee

Well, as usual we did not all arrive at 11:00AM..hahaha! Congratulations to Ayka and Nancy. They arrived exactly 11:00 or before 11:00. Followed by yours and truly..I arrived 15 minutes late. I was so engrossed in revising my paper that I forgot the time. Then followed by Shey and Grace. They were an hour and half late...Oh! We were so hungry. Then finally, Weng arrived and the time was 2:00PM...wooh..[It's better to be late than not to show up at all]. We could eat anything and anywhere but then we decided to have late or shall I say very late lunch in Westgate.

Each of us got a gift from Nancy...The cutest picture frame..hahaha!

Last Saturday was my first time to eat Paella because it looked yucky but then when I tasted it..Oh! it was so delicious. I think this will be one of my favorite dishes now.

AFTER LUNCH

We went to Paeng's bowling center in ATC. It was Ayka's first time to play bowling but then she was one of our highest scorers. hahaha!

AFTER BOWLING

Last stop...back to Westgate to have coffee in UCC. It was my first time to have coffee there since we decided not to have Starbucks because it's been our hang out place ever since. In short, we wanted to try another coffee. BTW, it was Weng's treat for us..for being late..hahaha! So, I really want to thank her for treating us. Also, for giving me the shawl (the pink one that I'm wearing).

The coffee in UCC is one of the best. It's heavenly but it's very expensive so I don't think I will always hang out there. hahaha!

Flavor of Life by Utada Hikaru

When you say thank you to me,
for some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesn’t
get undone even after the good bye.
the faintly burning pain.
The flavor of life

Neither friends nor lovers, in uncertain terms
like an un-riped fruit dreaming about the day of harvest
because of being unable to just move one more step forward
It’s just so frustrating

When you say thank you to me,
for some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesn’t
get undone even after the good bye.
the faintly burning pain.
The flavor of life

Sweet talk and tasteless conversations.
I have no interest in them
even when things do not go the way I want them
you make me believe that there is still something in life

When asked ‘ whats wrong?’
I answer ‘its nothing’
‘i like you’ instead of ‘i love you’ is more like the person I knew
the flavor of life

The more i wish to believe in you,
For some reason it hurts even more
‘i like you’ instead of ‘i love you’ is more like the person I knew
the flavor of life

I wish I could cherish the white color of the falling snow like I used to
by the time I would remember the scent of the person I’ve nearly forgotten

A future tender and warmer than a diamond
i want to grasp it, in this limited time we have, i want to live it with you
when you say thank you to me,
for some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesnt
get undone even after the good bye.
he faintly burning pain.
The flavor of life

another year has come...

I had 5 days vacation because of the holiday. I spent most of my days in Batangas, hanging out with my cousins and of course watching DVD. I went back to Alabang last Saturday because I didn't want to be caught in a traffic in Tagaytay. Anway, I did many things these past few days and one of them was to contemplate and think about the things that I want to do this year and the things I should minimize doing. Here are my random thoughts:

1. I realized that sometimes I take my friends for granted. Blame it to my busy schedule but seriously, I'm glad that they're always there for me. I just need to spend more time with them and let them feel that they are important in my life.

2. I want to have time with myself. I mean, you know going to a spa, dermclinic or salon and maybe shopping. I want to pamper myself so that I will feel that I'm neglecting myself. I will really do my best to look at the mirror and comb my hair even though I'm super duper busy. Of course, I want to be updated in fashion again. I think I was lost last year. Don't know what is in and out.

3. Live a healthy life little by little...I don't think I can get rid all of my bad habits this year so I don't want to promise anything.

4. Travel--I have to go somewhere that I've never been to.

5. Spend less.

These are some of the things that I could think of right now. There are a lot of things going on my mind and one of them is really bad or let's say scary but I'm not yet in the mood to blog it.
