To My Dearest Friend Ada
One of the highlights in my blog last year are my birthday posts dedicated to my blogger barkada friends collectively known as ‘The Nyoks’. I didn’t forget their birthdays and I wrote my personal messages for them complete with pictures. Due to my trip to Cebu and Singapore last year, I failed to write a birthday entry for two of my closest girl pals and one of them is the one and only crazy yet admirable blogger named Ada Lajara of Adaphobic.com.
I am here right now in Cafe Amoree in General Santos with the SEX Bloggers (SOCCSKSARGEN Experience BLOGGERS lolz). When we planned this trip, Ada is a part of it. But she needs to stay in Manila for now and celebrate her birthday with some of the special people in her life 
Film Showing + Pasta Buffet + Doughnut Overload on The 12th of June
June 12 is the official Independence Day of the Philippines. It is considered as an important holiday for the Filipinos because it is the day wherein our ancestors finally had their freedom from the Spaniards. It also happened to be an important day for my second short film called The 12th of June. It has nothing to do with the history of the Philippine Independence, but errr… I consider it as a special day since it also falls on a Saturday this year.
Watching The 12th of June on the 12th of June, 2010
I first had my film showing at Mam Bebs in Davao City last year with the help of Avatar Media and had another one at Tomato Bomb. Some of my blogger friends were able to see Kuya Bunso and Positive. However, more friends were asking when I’ll be having the next screening. Since I wanted to host one so badly, I planned to have it on The 12th of June with no particular place or any other activity yet.
I first heard about Penpen’s Resto at Ping Medina’s Twitter account. The place happened to have Pasta Buffets on Tuesdays and the second floor is open for parties, film showing among others. I inquired through Ping Medina’s Facebook account and I’m glad that he replied. I then decided to have a Pasta Buffet Party + Film Showing there.
Now let me narrate everything that happened on my very own independence day:
Chloe The Hotlight Girl's Treat
I woke up late and bombarded my friends with text message asking if they’d make it on the film showing. My college bestfriend arrived at home straight from her work then we went to Krispy Kreme Greenhills to pick up Chloe’s surprise. I was surprised when I found out she’ll give out 35 boxes of original-glazed donuts! The staff remembered that i shot some scenes of The 12th of June last July 2009 and they’re asking me when I’m going to shoot again LOL.
Ratifying Mr. Alleba with a PicLyf Entry
Someone just turned a year older today. He happened to be the man behind a popular Filipino search engine which I wanted to copy when I was in high school (hindi kinaya ng notepad ang codes LOL). He also runs and operates a bakery somewhere in the South and not only that – he is also into baking blogs and ranks their hotness and freshness according to several factors which I don’t really want to discuss because I am lazy. He is also a camwhore who kept on imitating the Villar pose or the Jejemon Heart in his Piclyf updates. What a talented guy, right? He also happened to be my partner – at least on Facebook.
Ratifying Mr. Alleba with a Piclyf Entry
We last saw each other at the recently-concluded Cebu Blog Camp. I don’t know why all of a sudden, I saw myself in some of the newbie bloggers who were approaching me. The Devcom thingy at IT Park also made me remember that once in my life, I want to become a web developer/programmer. I want to run my very own website and yes, a search engine.
The Surprise McDo Kiddie Party
Were you able to read my blog post yesterday? I mentioned in my wish list that I want a McDo Kiddie Party for my 23rd birthday. I got the idea from a friend who hosted a Christmas Party for us years ago. We had fun games complete with party hats, balloons and kiddie treats. I really want to have one that’s why I wrote the following:
Turning 23 in a Kiddie Way - Love Ko 'Toh!
MCDO KIDDIE PARTY - I want my very own Mc Donald’s Kiddie Party complete with party hats and balloons. I want to play games too with jackstones as the prize and yes, I want to see Grimace dance and clap his hands LOL. (Sorry Jollibee, Honey Bee. Had my Jolly Kiddie Party when I was six teehee)
Who would have thought that even before I published that blog entry, my Nyok friends were already planning a surprise kiddie party for me?!
Bente Tres
I’m turning twenty three years old a few hours from now. When I was nineteen years old, a friend of mine who has psychic powers predicted that things will change in my life once I turn twenty three in terms of career, love and life in general.
We did it, Honey Bee 
Taurus people are known for being creative and emotional and I agree on that. I want to be emo right now, but I just can’t. Looking back at the previous months, I can say that I am really blessed – I’ve been to many places (Cebu, Tagaytay, Pampanga, Subic, Palawan, Dumaguete, Sumilon Island, Macau and Davao – From January to April pa lang ‘yan!), I still have a stable job (nothing beats getting paid doing what you really love to do!), My blogs are now improving (though less updated LOL), I have three short films under my belt (with the help of my talented friends, of course!), My online and offline friends are supportive and yes, i’ll be reunited with my mom and brother in England this November!
The only thing that I lack right now is my love life, but heck, I’m just twenty three years old. That can wait
For the meantime, I would like to share my very own ‘wish list’. I don’t really require (require talaga ginamit na term LOL) my friends or relatives to give me any of which, but I simply want to post it here.
