Ang Hot Air Balloon Festival (Na Walang Hot Air Balloon!)

A couple of weeks back, my friend mentioned that there was going to be a Hot Air Balloon Festival in Clark.  She wanted us to go along with the rest of our other gal pals.  We all said yes and we even checked the schedule of activities online so we can be there early.  

We planned to start the day veryyyyy early since the balloon take-off will be at 5:30AM.  But of course, since we were turtle-slow, the original time of 3AM was moved to 4:30AM!!!!! So that gives us an hour to get to Clark from Fairview! WTF? So anyway, off we went to NLEX to try and see if we can still make it in time for the hot air balloon exhibition.

We didn't stop for breakfast because we do not want to be late. LOL. It was a good thing that my friend brought junk food. It was our saving grace.

The drive was good until we reached Clark! It was bumper to bumper traffic!!!!!! It was already close to 6AM and the balloons already took off! We would not be able to see it up close if we stay in the car and wait for the traffic to subside.

So what's the next best thing than be stuck in this madness? Get out of the car and take pictures of what's left of the hot air balloons! Hahahahahaha! 

Me and my bestfriend! :)

We took pictures right outside the fence because there was a long line in the entrance!!! Baka by the time na makapasok na kame, wala nang hangin ang mga lobo! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! So inavail na namen ang picture picture!

By the time that we were able to get a good parking space and were able to go inside the exhibition area, wala na yung mga hot air balloons! LOL! :)) Buti nalang may mga ibat iba pang kaganapan doon. Hehe. So pwede na din. Hehe. And oh, I forgot to mention... it was soooooo hotttt! Had I known that it would be super hot that day, I would've lathered sunblock all over. Hay, grabe ang init, pramis!

 

Ang init init init!!!! Kung alam ko lang na ganito kainit, sana nag 2pc nalang ako! LOL.

Sabe ko sa Coast Guard umarte sya na parang sinasaktan nya ko. Aba, feel na feel masyado ni Kuya! :p

Ayan, best in bukaka ako. Ang init kase eh. Hehehehe!

The Retards. 

It's a very gloomy Monday... overcast sky + cold air makes up for bed weather!!!!!! I'll go back and sleep some more. I will continue my blogpost tomorrow. Hehe.

Have a great Mondayyyyyy everyone! Keep your dispositions sunny despite the weather! :)

Mwah mwah!

Bridal Shower

I organized a bridal shower for a friend. It was a semi-surprise party. Why semi-surprise? Because they knew that a bridal shower was going to happen but they didnt know where it would be held. Hehe. Sneaky, right? :)

I asked all the girls to meet-up in Metrowalk by 8pm and when most of the guests were already there, I told them to go to our party venue - Victoria Court in Pasig! Hehehe.  I booked the "Matrix"-themed room and I ordered a food package for 10 people. 

I also bought cake and lollipops for the bridal shower. Here are some of the "facebook-friendly" pics from last night. The other pictures are for our eyes only, hahaha.

Condoms, Banana and Lots of Ahermmmm.... Props for our Bridal Shower games :)

"Walang babaeng pangit, sa t*t*ing galit.... Hahahahaha!"

Matrix meets Transformers = Futuristic Loveseat! =)

It was a fun night! Makes me wana try their other themed rooms too! 

How's your week going so far?

Absent

I didn't go to work today because I'm not feeling well.  I feel like my head's going to explode plus I'm having menstrual cramps. (LOL, too much info).  I just feel soooooooo exhausted! I wasn't able to rest during the  weekend because I did alot of errands here and there. 

(pic credit: google)

So here I am, sick and reeking of Vicks and efficascent oil! :) Hehehe.  I feel like my whole body's in pain so what I did earlier was I splashed efficascent oil all over my body. Ginawa kong lotion. HAHAHAH! Sarap! I smell like a hawt lola! Weet weew. 

Since I have plenty of downtime today, I used that as an opportunity to start wrapping some of my Christmas presents. And by wrapping I mean putting them inside the gift pouch. LOL! Hindi kase ko marunong mag giftwrap. Good thing I saw these plastic gift boxes. Wala kase talaga kong ka-art art sa katawan. 

Yehey! At least kahit absent ako today, productive pa rin kahit papano. Hahaha!  I just wish I'll feel alot better by tomorrow so I can go back to work. I hate skipping work because the load piles up too fast even if I'm only gone for a day. Aguy!

And because I was just home all day, I did nothing but rest and watch news on TV.  

Maybe I just don't have a compassionate heart pero ndi talaga ko naaawa sa kanya kanina when I saw her on TV. Hay life.

Grabe, it's been 3 weeks since I last posted. I can already see cobwebs forming on my blog. Hahaha! 

So, what have you guys been up to recently?

Sick (in the head),

So this is how a "Barker" feels like....

What is a "Barker"?

Here's what Wikipedia has to say ---

A barker is a person who attempts to attract patrons to entertainment events, such as a circus or funfair, by exhorting passing public,^[1] describing attractions of show and emphasizing variety, novelty, beauty, or some other feature believed to incite listeners to attend entertainment.

The pinoy-version of a "Barker" is one who stations himself near where the public utility vehicles are (ie jeepneys and buses) and calls the attention of passengers. Yung mga tipong sisigaw ng "Kyaaaaaaaaaaappppooooooooooooo" or "Kuuubbbbaaaawwww" or "Onting usog dyan, sampu-an yan!" Ganyan. Hehe.

So what does that have to do with me? Pinasok ko na rin ba ang pagbabarker? HAHAHAHAHA! Well, not really.... but I now understand how a barker feels like after a longggggggg day of shouting and yelling and vocal chords-stretching. Haha.

Read on.

I hosted a party at the Fort earlier this afternoon.  The party was at 3pm but I was there an hour early because I need to prepare all the stuff that I need to use.

 It was a Hello Kitty-themed party but I didn't have anything pink in my closet and I cannot grow whiskers overnight (LOL) so I opted to wear something lace-y and girly.

Everything was alright except for the sound system.  The music was sucky and the microphone was not functioning!!!!!!!!! One of my pet-peeves as a host is when I am not given a good sound system.  It's easier to get your message across when you're clearly heard by the crowd, especially when majority of the crowd's composed of 6-years-old kids with short attention spans. Hahahahaha!

But of course the show must go on. There are people who were 'born with a silver spoon', and there are those who were 'born with a built-in microphone'.  Fortunately (or unfortunately? haha), I belong to the latter.

Parang lahat ng litid ko lumabas this afternoon! Hahahahaha! I had to keep my voice loud and clear and fun to get everyone's attention. Kalowka. But it was still an awesome party despite the slight technical booboos! The kids and adults alike had so much fun especially when I asked them to play musical chairs! Hahaha.

But seriously, it was a bit stressful to shout for a couple of hours straight.  Now I totally get how barkers feel like after a long day of work... Or wives who scream endlessly at their philandering husbands.... Or football fans who cheer and yell for their team during Super Bowl... Or bosses who scream because they've been given the wrong report... LOL! Nakakapagod sumigaw, pramis. Hehe.

I'm wishing you all a very serene, yell-free Sunday! :) Hehehe!

Ayan Kase

Our office sends out email alerts everytime there is a storm that's coming to the country.  I was well aware that a storm was coming yesterday so when I received a call from a client asking me to host a Luau Party, I begged off. Aside from that, I wasn't really feeling well. But they were very persistent so I ended up saying yes. Waaaaah!

I was at The Fort yesterday despite the storm.  It was a good thing that the party was held at the 28th floor so I had no reason to get paranoid about getting flooded.

Grass skirts and garlands were given at the entrance. And because it was a Luau party, it was mandatory that I teach the girls how to do the hula. (I sucked by the way, hahahaha!)

But I really did an awesome job in teaching them how to do the Hawaiian dance. 

And I taught them how to do arts and crafts as well. It was super fun!

When I got home, may lagnat na ko. Maybe because I was tired and I got rained on a little. Hayyyyyy!!!!

Next Up: Someone got me to organize a Bridal Shower. Kaaliw. Almost everything's set na except for the strippers! LOL. May kilala kayo? Hahahaha.

Have an awesome weekend everyone!

What's Up, Ketchup?

Christmas is just three months away. I am not a millionaire (and not even close to being one) so I only have a special list of people who I give gifts to every Christmas. At the top of the list are my pamangkins -  I have 3 nieces and 3 nephews.

For the past two (or was it three?) Christmases, I haven't bought them anything special. I just gave them money so they can buy whatever they want to buy. I am a bad aunt, I know. So this year, I want to make it up to them by giving them real gifts. And by real gifts, I mean, usable and practical and wrapped gifts. Hahaha. Because I know how special Christmas is for kids, right? And I know how they anticipate un-wrapping their presents.

I started my Christmas list a couple of days ago, and I bought gifts already for two of my nieces. I still don't know what to get my nephews. Ang hirap mag-isip ng gifts para sa mga boys =( I don't watch TV that much so I don't know what's the 'in' thing for teenagers nowadays. Hmmmmm... They might kill me if I buy them anything Justin-Bieber. Hahahahahhaa!

I remember one Christmas when I couldn't decide what to get for all 6 of them. So what I bought for them was these rubber shoes that had built-in rollers in them. It was what most of the parents were buying at that time so it gave me the idea that that was the 'in' thing for the bagets. Luckily, they all loved it. Hehe. Ndi nila alam, naki-usyoso lang ako sa kung san maraming mga bumibili sa mall.

Anyway, I didn't leave the mall without buying something for myself too! I like quirky, crazy stuff. So when I saw these shoes in the mall, I knew that I had to get them. Parang feeling ko ginawa talaga sya para sa mga loka-lokang kagaya ko. Hahahahaha!

Brogues + rubber = LOVE!

When I wore it the next day, my friends all said the same thing - "It's sooooo you!". I don't know if it's an insult or a compliment though, ahahahahhahaha!!!!! 

Anyway, what have you guys been up to lately? 

Don't forget to include me in your Christmas shopping, okay? :)

Bandila

K : Ang sama ng pakiramdam ko. =( Magkakaron na ata ako.

Officemate : Huh? Wag ka naman sanang biglang datnan ngayon dito sa opisina.

K : Bakit naman?

Officemate : Kasi puti yung blouse mo, tapos yellow yung pants mo, tapos blue yung shoes mo. Kapag nagkaron ka ng pula sa likod, para ka nang bandila ng Pilipinas.

K : Hahahahaha! Gago!

Astig

The elevator at RONAC Art Center looks like a Sauna Room! Kyooot! :)

I received a very good news last Friday. And then today, I heard another good news. God loves me a lot lately! Heheheh! :)

Have a great start of the weeeeekkkkk! Let's face this week with po-si-ti-vi-ty!!!!!!!

I hope may good news din na dumating sa inyo! Mwah!

Of Blacks and Self-Timers...

I don't shop often. But when I do, I usually buy clothes in vibrant shades. The colorful, the better.  Sometimes I think I look like a walking crayola, hahaha! Colors make me happy. My clothes are a reflection of who I am - playful, moody, full of life.  When I feel down, I wear my red pumps and I splash the reddest shade of red on my lips. It's my usual pick-me-up.  When I feel girly, I wear pink.  When I am feeling cheerful, I wear yellow pants. Hehe!

I was rummaging through my cabinet (closet pag mayaman, pag mahirap cabinet ang tawag, haha!)  today because I was looking for an old dress I havent worn for quite sometime and I noticed that there have been a few pieces of clothing that I havent taken much attention. Maybe because I just don't feel like wearing them at the time I bought them. Or maybe because they were in black. Period.

I tried them on to see if I'd feel any different. And you know what, I feel like black's my long-lost pal! It's like black and I have met somewhere before and we have recently been re-acquainted. Hehe. I still feel like I'm the vibrant, cheerful me. But with a little more pizzazz and sophistication. (Sophistication daw oh! LOL)

At dahil dyan, ilalabas ko na lahat ng mga black kong damet at sila ay gagawen kong pambahay. LOL! My tastes in everything evolve through time. My taste in style, in men (insert BIG question mark), in major life-decisions have developed as I grew older. Have they become better? Or have they become worse? Hahaha, that's the big question.

 How about you, what's your favorite color?

Good Morning Manila!

I visited my parents last night because I miss them and because it was Father's Day. I am busy with work on weekdays and I have school on Saturdays, so the only time that I can visit them is Sunday/s. It was raining like crazy last night, OA! We were driving along the Timog area and most of the resaturants were full. Ang daming daddies na nasa labas kagabe! Hehe.

My brother's hungry already so we just decided to eat in Hap Chan in West Ave. I didn't take alot of pictures because gutom na ko e, haha! Galit galit muna.

After dinner, I slept at my parents house. I rarely sleep there eversince I moved out. So last night, my dad made lambing to me and asked if I can just spend the night there. So ayun, natulog kame magkatabe. Kyooot! :) I will always be my dad's baby.

I woke up at 6AM this morning because my friend called me up. Magkape daw kame ng six-freaking-AM! Wag na daw ako maligo! Hahahaha! Kadiri diba? :) Pero ayus lang yun, nagtoothbrush naman ako eh, pwede na yun! Hahahaha!

So we're here now in Starbucks.. enjoying what's left of the long week-end.

Cake pops! My peborit!

Ang laki ng sala ko diba? Hahaha, bahay na bahay lang! :)

How about you, what did you guys do over the weekend? Did you go somewhere fun? Share!!!

Let's all have a great week aheaddddddd!

Weekend Tales : Luau Party

I'm sick. I've colds and I'm slightly feverish. Maybe because I've been to too many parties this weekend and exhaustion caught up with me.

One of the parties I've attended was this Luau party at Ayala Hillside Estates. The recreation center was nice. The infinity pool was lovely.

My only beef about the place was that there wasn't enough ventilation considering that the party was held in the afternoon! Buti nalang ndi ako nag-ayos kung hindi tunaw ang make-up ko. Hahahaha! Arte lang.

We were given garlands at the entrance to complete the Hawaiian-slash-Luau feel.

Attended the party with my close friends so it was an afternoon well-spent despite the heat. Hehehe!

I'm taking Bioflu and Mefenamic but I don't think it's effective. Sigh. I think I'll just stay home this coming weekend so I can catch up on sleep/rest.

Hope all of you are A-okay! :)

Murang Gloria!

I define my life in the same sense that I define the things that make me happy. I always strive to have a positive outlook about everything even when it seems that there isn’t anything positive about it anymore.


I was having a rough day a couple of weeks ago so I decided to hit the mall. And of course, nothing can catch my attention more than a big red sign on the department store that screams the word “SALE”. Wooopppeeee!!!! It’s like sipping an iced-cold can of Coca-cola after roughing it out in the gym... Or seeing a half-naked Gerard Butler waiting for me in my bedroom! Double wooopppeeee! (You don’t know who he is? Click here)... Ika-pitong Gloria diba? Haha!

I went in to check out the goodies and to my delight, I saw a nice pair of pants. The downside was that it’s one size smaller than what I usually wear and when I asked the saleslady if they have it in my size, wala na daw! BUMMER!

I bought it anyway eventhough it’s a little bit tight in the crotch area. At P99, I wouldn’t mind sporting a bit of a cameltoe! Hahahahahaha!

So there you have it, ladies and gents, that’s my obligatory Holy Week post. LOL! Kala mo profound no? Hehehe! But seriously, what I’m trying to drive at is that happiness doesn’t need to be expensive.

To most parents, happiness means seeing the smile on their children’s faces. To most bachelors I know (and some married men too!), happiness is a few thousand bucks for 3hours of pleasure. Hahaha! But for me, I find joy in the simplest of things.

In a world full of catastrophes and rising price in gas and everything else, you got to find ways on how to be happy. Life is beautiful!

Ikaw, what gives you “Murang Gloria”?

Let’s all have a meaningful and muni-muni filled Holy week!

P.S. Do you know of establishments (restos/spas/bar/etc) that are open on Good Friday? Let me know please. Thanks!

Past Life

I have a friend who thinks she’s a princess in her past life because she’s drawn to all things gold and sparkly. She has a collection of gold bangles, gold (colored) shoes, and dresses with (fake) gold studs.

I have a friend who thinks she might have been a song writer in her past life because she’s musically inclined and she can remember the lyrics of a song even if she’s just heard it once.

I have a guy friend who thinks he’s a rabbit in his past life. Because rabbits are known to be….  You know the rest of the story. Hehehehe.

Me???

Well, feeling ko “bading” ako in my past life. And here are the reasons why :

1 – I love all things furry, frilly and colorful.

2 – I have a lot of gay friends and they love me to bits.

3 – I don’t have jugs. LOL!

4 – I don’t think Piolo Pascual is hot.

5 – I love watching gay porn, M-to-M is the bomb! Hehehe. 

How about you? What/who do you think were you in your past life?

Happy New Year!

2010 has been a good year for me. I was able to go out of the country thrice this year. I was able to find balance between work and school. I was able to enjoy my time with my family and friends.  I was able to find love (or so I thought).  I learned to love myself more.

I have a lot of realizations and lessons learned this year. And I will be bringing these lessons with me in 2011.

I am grateful to God, to my loved-ones, to my friends, to you. Thank you everyone for being a part of my 2010! :)

I always spend New Year's eve at my parents' place but this year is different because I'm spending it alone in my unit. My original plan was to just sleep and rest and let the holiday go by but I figured, life is too short to be "KJ"! Hehehe.

So what did I prepare for my New Year's Eve meal? Hmmmm... well, I have Pasta Paella, Seafood Pizza, Cheese & Crackers, Cake, Fish & Chips and milk! Yeheyyyyyyy! It's a party for one and I'm loving it! Hahahaha.

I hope everyone's having a fabulous time this New Year whether you're spending it alone or with your loved-ones!

Let's all welcome 2011 in style! =) Cheers to a bright and fruitful year ahead of us!

Merry Christmas!

December 24

I had a fun Christmas Eve. I spent the morning of December 24th with a good friend I haven't seen in awhile. We had breakfast in Technohub. We updated each other with our respective lives and it was super fun! We laughed, we cried, we bonded. I love it!

I met up with a friend of a friend on the afternoon of the same day. We had lunch and then coffee. We shared stories about life and work. And then we did a bit of shopping and ended the day with a few bottles of beer.

It was a good day. :)

December 25

I went to my parents' house. All my siblings were there too so it was a lot of fun! Ndi kame naghahanda kapag Christmas.  We treat it like a normal day. We always celebrate on the 26th because it's my Dad's birthday. So earlier, I just brought pizza and icecream. My sister brought pasta. My other sister brought salad. My brother brought himself. Hahahahah!

Tulog pa sila kanina so I woke them up when I arrived. Hehehehe!

My sister gave me this silk nightgown para daw magka-boyfriend nako! Hahaha!

My super cute inaanak! She's so pretty and chubby! *gigil*

We bonded the whole afternoon and we heard mass in the evening. It was a good day spent with my whole caboodle. Tomorrow's going to be fun because it will be our Christmas + Dad's birthday celebration. I gave my dad his gift kanina and he loved it. He was smiling like a little kid. Super cute :)

Merry Christmas everyone!

Here's a short video to show how much I appreciate all of you for reading my blog. Hehehe.
