Making My Momma Proud

Today is September 1, 2009. This simply means that today is the start of the BER months! Our calendars will surely be filled with lots of activities for the upcoming Halloween and the Holidays. For me, the 1st of September is truly special because my loving mama turns 47 today!

I had the chance to call my mom earlier. She is now based in England together with my brother Carlo. My mom answered the phone gleefully as she originally thought that I’ll miss greeting her on her special day. I haven’t talked to her for a long time (five days to be exact teehee) and she panicked already.

Let’s Go Surfing sa San Juan, La Union!

To celebrate his 1st year in the blogosphere, my dear friend Jonel Uy of LetsGoSago.net organized a surfing event for bloggers. He informed me about his plans months ago and I initially said yes, but due to my work schedule and other commitments, I begged off two weeks before the scheduled date.

Surfing for the first time in San Juan, La Union

My blogger friends harassed me that Friday afternoon. I figured out that maybe I can join them as long as I go back to Manila on Sunday morning because I need to go to work at 2pm.

After sipping my favorite mocha drink, I finally gave Jonel a call and confirmed my attendance :D

August 9 is Grand Kembot Day!

August 9 is Grand Kembot Day!

Spontaneous - > The perfect adjective to describe my third day in Cebu City with the Kemboteras.

We originally planned of going to Carcar and Talisay that Sunday. ‘Bohol’ also popped out in one of our conversations. With no final decision on how we should spend the next day, we ended up saying ‘Bahala na’ before going to sleep.

As expected, the four of us woke up late =P Thanks to Sinjin for waking us up at our hotel room. We ate our late breakfast while taking turns in using the bathroom. We canceled our out of town plans and decided to just eat lunch at the famous Abuhan Dos, where the famous Pochero is found.

So how was my second day in Cebu? Well, I slept the whole morning. The Kemboteras namely Eric, Aaron and Shena arrived in the Hotel that morning and went straight to CnT Lechon.
