Ziggy!

Yesterday....it was Ziggy's turn to be welcomed to the Christian world!!! His Mum Hazel was very kind to invite us to witness this special occasion. The christening was very solemn...and they had free background music. ;)
May wedding kasi sa main chapel...so nung bina-baptize na si Ziggy...may tugtog..."The Prayer".

I really really made an effort to be there...kaya 8am pa lang ng sunday...nagtuturo na ako. Nai-squeeze ko lahat ng students ko..for the morning slot...except ONE. Kaya kailangan kong umuwi sa bahay by 530pm.

Dahil nabitin yung 2 kong kasama...si "ninong Lino" and Joanne...nagkaya-yaan na manood ng sine. Tutal...one hour lang naman ang turo ko eh...so makakabalik na ako agad sa rockwell. Siguro mga 15 minutes bago matapos yung turo ko...tumawag si Joanne...720pm daw yung i, robot. Sabi ko..okay i'll be there!!!
Dumating ako mga 715pm...five minutes before the time. Gusto ko pa sana bumili ng banana smoothie tsaka ng pinatubo sa jamaican patties kaso gahol na sa oras. Swerte ko kasi shinare ni Lino ang kanyang food sa aken...at si Joanne naman Inilibre ako ng SINE!!! wow!!! Jackpot!!! Hwehehe...jahe talaga ako sa'yo Joanne...pero di bale..next time ako ang taya!!!

Habang papunta kami ng Quezon City...wala nang nangyari sa amin kundi ang mawala. Pero nahanap pa ren namin ang aming "way". Haay pagdating talaga sa QC...yung pagiging "navigator" ko eh parang napupunta sa deadspot...wala akong signal. Kaya the whole time na nasa QC kami...naging hobby namin ang maligaw. Enjoy naman kasi masaya ang kwentuhan naming 3. Mas nakilala ko si Lino and Joanne. I'm really thankful for alimasag.com for my NFFs.
Nahihiya pa kami dun kina Hazel kaya siguro di pa nakapag-usap ng matagal...di bale marami pa namang next time.

Ang bilis ng panahon...matatapos na ang July...at darating na ang August...YEY!!!! la lang...just felt like it!

Ziggy...your alimasag family loves you!!!

welcome Andie

 
Today...Amanda Isabel S. Moreno  "andie" was welcomed to the christian world!!! I attended her christening...at nakakatuwa dahel kumpleto ang parokya. Ito yung mga pagkakataon na talagang nakakapagsisi na wala akong camerang dala.
 
Anyway...tawa kami ng tawa dun sa isang part na pinalapit nung pari ang mga ninong at ninang at sinabi "ipatong ang inyong mga kamay sa bata"...maya-maya sabi nung pari..."ang sabi ko hawakan ang bata, hindi yung nanay". Hehehe...kahet kelan talaga...ang kukulet ng "parokya". Nakakatuwang makita silang seryoso!
 
Hirap na hirap akong makausap ang "parokya" kasi ang layo nung table nila sa amin...tsaka lahat ng kaibigan ko eh hindi mga "fans". Haay ang hirap...walang tumutulong sa akin para makipag-kilala. Ang busy-busy naman shempre ni Billie sa pag-aasikaso sa mga guests.
Nung huli...di ko na natiis at kinapalan ko na ang mukha ko... nagpa-picture ako kasama si baby Andie, si Mommy Billie and Daddy Dindin...kasama den ang parokya.
Nanghiram lang kami ng camera...kasama ata ni Billie sa opis yung may ari ng cam!...sana ma-develop.
 
mag-iipon na talaga ako para makabili ng cell na may camera...ang hirap!
 
 

Invites!!! Invites!!!

Hirap maging sikat ano? Kaliwa't kanan ang imbitasyon sa akin. (hwehehehe)
Okay tama na ang ilusyon.

Excited lang ako kasi a-attend ako ng christening ni Baby Andie. Ang first born ni Mr.and Mrs. Dindin Moreno (dakilang taga-tambol ng PniE). Highschool buddy ko ang napangasawa nya, si Billie. Talagang masaya kami nung highschool kaya naman tuwang-tuwa ako para sa kanya, sa kanila. Pinadalhan na nga ako ni Billie ng mga pictures ni "baby andie" and cute cute talaga!!!

Eto naman ang siste...I recieved another invitation from my other friend, 1st birthday naman ng kanyang baby. Haay, gusto ko mang daluhan ang 2 events...di naman ata kaya ng powers ko. Dahil sa nauna ko nang nasagutan yung christening ni "baby andie" dun na ako dadalo, at magpapadala na lang ako ng regalo para naman kay "baby carl".

Haay...dati ang dinadaluhan ko mga children's party naming magka-kaibigan, tapos mga slumber party, soiree, tapos naging mga debut, tapos mga kasal, tapos ngayon kung hindi christening ay mga children's party naman ng mga anak ng kaibigan ko. Hehehe...it's a vicious cycle (GAg me with a spoon!)

tee-hee!!!

Huling LAST

Hay, medyo sa dami nang nagyayari sa akin...nagtambak na ang posts ko dito sa aking munting kukote.

Hello Friend part 2

July 1,2004

Woke up really early, 7am which is a feat since i usually doze around 3 in the morning. Today is different than other days...huling hirit namin toh para kay Thess, in a matter of days babalik na sha ng netherlands.

First Stop--> MEGAMALL

Sa tinagal-tagal na ang Megamall sa Pilipinas, biruin mong hindi pa napupuntahan iyon ni Thess. Kaya, minarapat naming i-tour sha sa buong Mega. As in literally BUONG MEGAMALL. Nagsimula kami sa Bldg.B tapos tatawid ng Bldg. A...hahaha...wala kaming nalampasan. Shempre...nakakapagod yun kaya nag-lunch kami. Hindi ko na ide-detalye kung ano-ano ang kinain namen...nagdi-dyeta kasi kami nun!!!

NEXT STOP-->ROCKWELL

Shempre...dun kami sa homecourt namin kung saan at home na at home kami ni Ivy. Sa Rockwell. Mind you, memorize ko den ang megamall dahil dun na ata ako lumaki (lapit kasi sa school ko noon) pero simula ng magawa ang rockwell powerplant mall...other malls fail in comparison. Ewan ko ba...i fell in love with the place I guess. Ganda pa ng cinema dun.
At dun namin mi-neet si joanne at sama-sama kaming nanood ng spiderman2!!!
After that, nag-window shop pa kami at naghanap ng diamond ring sa halagang 200php. Ayos den naman itong si Joanne, may balak pa atang makipag-tawaran sa mga shops dun. (hehehe, gawin bang ongpin ang rockwell? love yah jo). I really hope Thess had fun that day coz I did (tsaka sa tingin ko ganun den yung 2 gurlz na kasama ko). I also want to Thank her for taking the time to be with us all. Kahet 3 weeks lang sha dito nai-singit nya pang makipag-kita sa amin dito!!! :D

NEXT STOP-->BETTERLIVING

Joanne invited us to have dinner at her place...dahil ayoko pang tapusin ang araw na iyon, Game na game akong sumama. Sarap naman dun kina Joanne...nakakatuwa. Asikasong-asikaso kami.
Shempre kainan, kwentuhan, kainan, kwentuhan...yun naubos ang lakas namin dun!!!
Mga 130am of July 2, 2004 na ata nung naisipan naming magsi-uwian na. Bait naman talaga ni Joanne at hinatid pa kaming isa-isa.

Sinulit talaga namin yung day na yon to be with Thess, Gurl bonding kaming 4. Ngayon I feel closer not only to Thess but also to Joanne and Ivy.

Ayus talaga...i say it's for the books.

and then again...no goodbyes instead i say "HELLO FRIenDS"

BLOW OUT!!!

One week delayed...Last Sunday July 4,2004 umalis kami ng aking choir para manood ng spiderman2. Maaga kaming umalis ni kuya kasi bibili pa ako ng tickets. The night before...ang nag-confirm na sasama ay 11...plus kami ni Kuya...that makes 13. Sige pila ako sa napaka-habang pila sa robs mla sa cinema1 kasi yun ang pinakamalaki at maganda dolby surround sound. Since madami kami...di kaya ng budget ko ang sine sa rockwell kaya robs kami. Treat ko ito sa kanila, dahel sa pagsali nila sa recital ko. I appreciate their time and efforts to share their talents. Kaya, eto nanlibre ako.

Around 415pm dumating na yung mga kasama ko..."voices" kaso...uhm...6 lang sila. O well yung 5 pala eh hindi na makakasama...ang siste nakabili na ako ng tickets. Sayang naman yung 5 tickets na yun...tsaka sana sinabi nila agad sa akin para naman hindi na kami naabala.
At kung nalaman ko lang na 6 lang ang pupunta eh di sana mas nakanood kami sa mas magandang sinehan...walang mahabang pila, hindi SRO...haay. Buti na lang naibenta pa ni Kuya yung 5 tickets! YEY!

Sometimes...when people give me the reason "nahihiya kasi ako sa'yo" i find it sooo lame. Mas ma-a-appreciate ko pa kung sasabihin mo sa akin yung totoo. Parang gan'to yon eh...may taong may utang sa'yo...tapos di ka pa niya binabayaran...tapos later on di ka na ren nya papansinin...tapos malalaman mo ang reason nya kung baket ilag sha sa 'yo is "nihihiya kasi ako sa'yo, di pa ako nakakapag-bayad". Diba mas nakakhiya yung ginagawa nya ngayon?

Minsan, ang mga tao...wala sa lugar ang pagiging "mahiyain".

Enough said. Closed book.

Moving on...masaya pa rin yung naging "date" ko with my choir, we ate at chef d'angelo--> pizza, pasta, chicken, iced tea...tsaaalaap...yumyumyum nagugutom ata ulet ako. Then we went to see spiderman2 (na 2nd time ko nang pinanood, 1st time was with thess,joanne and ivy) pero dahel sa gusto ko yung story, shempre ayun inulit ko!
The movie ended around 730pm so may time pa kami para mag-window shopping...tapos nag snacks kami sa mcdonald's. Hehehe...ang takaw ba? feeling ko nun di pa natutunaw lahat ng kinain ko last july1...eh eto na naman ako...kumakain Haay!!! Anyway, nung busog na ang lahat at masaya na...nag-uwian na kami. Hinatid ko yung anim sa sakayan ng jeep,masaya ako dahil nakasama ko ulet yung choir...halos mag-2 months na ren kaming walang practice...siguro by august magre-resume na kami!!!

Hello Friend!!!

I remember it quite well...I got an sms from Ivy saying "umuwi na ata si thess"...and i went straight to my computer...and visited thess' blog.
There it was...Marge Simpson...winking...and a little airplane...at the bottom...Oh My God...She's Coming HOME!!!

The next few days...well...I was really waiting for Thess to call me on my cellphone...I was surprised to recieve an SMS from her. Too bad I was at the bank that time (can't use cellphones inside). So I quickly went outside and texted her right back...!!! I promised to call her as soon as i get home.

Next Day Thess called me...!!! And so it starts...THE GAB FEST hahahaha...it seems so natural for me to just talk and talk and talk to her...and turns out our parents know each other...it's a small world after all That day...she already wanted to meet some of her friends (walang jetlag ang bruha)but she decided later on that it'll be better if we do it on a friday so everyone's pretty done with work.

FRIDAY JUNE18,2004
This is the day she chose for all of us to meet. 530pm...i picked her up. We were inside the cab, when she took out a wooden shoe from her bag and said "this is for you...winner ka para sa akin eh" WAAAAA!!!! And I did...I felt like a winner!!! And then she gave me...vanilla flavored-incense(now my room smells of vanilla). We went straight to Oodys at GB3. We reserved a table for 12...dami no? Lahat kasi ng ininvite nya darating :D soon...Lino came. He cancelled his previous engagement just to be with Thess that night (lakas talaga nitong si Thess o.) Then, Jethro came (straight from sta.rosa laguna...)then Fiona came, Joanne and Jeff (they came together..not to our surprise...yihiii)Wabi and rei, aves and Kim, Ivy and lastly Ronnie and Marlon. All these people came from different places mostly from work. some absented from work just to be with Thess. Just goes to show how special she is to all of us. ;)
And so...we ate, and, laughed, and ate, and laughed even more...it was really really FUN. It was one of those days that I hope would never end. Thess gave each of us "pasalubong". I was touched really...coz she really didn't have to. Just seeing her with us is enough for me...kaya Thess Tenchoooooooooooo!!!!! So..ispeysyal den kami para sa kanya. :D

RED BOX
Aves and Kim left earlier cause they still have an early class tomorrow (our group's doctors) so for a nightcap we went to Res Box...and sang the night away!!!! My, my, my what a talented group we are!!! Meron kaming ala Keith Martin ang boses through Jethro, Michael Buble through Jeff, Christian Bautista through Lino, Linkin Park through Ronnie and Marlon...sa mga babes naman was a variety of artists!!! Thess sang for us...ang danda ng boses!!!! :D
I liked Ronnie and Thess' duet "I Finally Found Someone"...coz it reminded me of the movie "the Mirror has 2 faces". Bravo! Bravo!
We were all so comfy with each other...Jethro even danced for us!!!! hahaha...may future sa dancing!!!
For our last number...Fiona, Ivy and I...sang "basang-basa sa Ulan".

It was a night of fun.
I didn't want to say goodbye cause I know...true friends don't say goodbye...so instead i say..."hello friend"

mamaya na yung part two :D
