Random Thoughts at 4 in the Morning

7 Replies

I’m currently listening to Gwen Stefani’s ‘4 in the Morning’ as I write this entry. It’s 3:56am as I type these words. That simply means that four minutes from now, it will be 4AM here in the Philippines. The time stamp of my blog is not accurate though LOL.

Last week, I went to Cebu with the Nyokers. The trip is very memorable for all of us. Photo walks, food tripping, camwhoring, emo moments, videoke, kimmy dora and much more. I want to blog about the said trip but sadly, the photos are not yet up. For the meantime, I’m just giving you an idea that I had fun with the last Cebu trip. If you want to know more, I will look into it.  I’ll get back to you. I’ll give you an update. RAWR! 😀

Pangarap kong maging slacker at maging jobless - Jehz Liit

Pangarap kong maging slacker at maging jobless pero naka-checkin sa Marco Polo - Jehz Liit

Last year, I wrote a blog entry on how my ‘Kuya Nyok’ touched my heart. I am really lucky to have him as one of my bestest buddy. He really reminds me of my real brother Carlo that’s why I really can’t help but pinch him whenever I see his cute face.

To be honest, we rarely see him in events nowadays. He is a busy guy. He is busy making money online while sleeping. He is busy being a slacker and being jobless. He is also busy reinventing himself though his hair and his weight. Want proof? I present to you the Evolution of Kuya Bunso:

THANK YOU! – The Sweetness of Gratitude Photo Contest

7 Replies

‘THANK YOU’. Two simple words yet the impact is very strong. MARAMING SALAMAT. Dalawang simpleng salita na napakahalaga sa bawat isa sa atin. Don’t you just feel good whenever someone sends his/her gratitude whenever you do something to make a person’s life easier or to make them happy?

toblerone2

As I write this entry, I have a lot of things to be thankful for: My family in England is doing well, my career is on track, my friends and I surpassed some challenges yet we managed to stick to each other, my plans are turning into something big and many, many more! Indeed, life is really a box of chocolates – it might be bitter or sweet, but it’s quite addicting. I am really thankful for everything!

Though I am not really ‘showy’ to my real feelings, I see to it that i say ‘Thank You’ to my family, friends or co-workers whenever they make me happy. Some of these moments are best captured by a camera.

In line with the National Thank You Day (October 20), I am now conducting a contest here in my blog together with Toblerone. The contest is simply called ‘ The Sweetness of Gratitude Photo Contest’ and I want you guys to join!

So what do you have to do?

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!

With Carlo and Mama before my graduation last November 2007

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!

18 Replies

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. Who would have thought that I pushed through with the trip and decided six hours before the scheduled departure time? 9ms75xyenf

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. My former officemates also invited me for a very special get-together that Friday night that’s why I had a hard time deciding. After sipping my favorite mocha drink, I finally gave Jonel a call and confirmed my attendance 😀

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. I, on the other hand had different plans. We will be riding the popular Edge Coaster, meet up with a cousin whom I never met before and dinner with the Cebu Bloggers Society at Larsian’s Barbeque.
