New Year, New Hair!

So today, I decided to finally say goodbye to my old dry curly hair! I can't believe napagtiyagaan kong ganun kapanget ang hair ko. Like seriously! When I got to Tony & Jackey and they were saying something like my hair is damaged and all, lumiliit ako ng lumiliit! I mean, seriously? Bakit hindi ko to napapansin! Hahaha!

So yes, a straight hair for 2011! I miss this! :)

Temporary Goodbye.

He had to go back to New Zealand because reality is there. Yes, the long distance relationship starts today.

I am crying because it will take a while to talk to him in person, hug and kiss him, do the stuff that we love to do and all the things together.

We trust each other both ways and we don't look at this like it's a very bad idea. Long distance relationships work if you're both willing to make everything work. Just because he's not here personally, means that I'm allowed to do whatever I want. We talked about love, that if you love me and I love you, we think before we act. That if I do this, Jolo/Jen will never get hurt or will look like an idiot in public. I love my guy so much that I take all things maturely. Hindi na ako bata ngayon, I know what I want and I am willing to keep it. No matter the risks. Plus, I know that God is with us. :)

I think I am always gonna cry everytime he will leave me for NZ. :| There's this feeling that I can't explain, separation anxiety! :) Just when I saw him cry for the first time? It broke me a million pieces. :| I love you Jolo. See you soon! :)

All his bags are packed and ready to go. I can't believe I cried in the backseat next to the grannies. :'(

An empty bed. Kanina lang we were making kulit and poof, now you're gone. :( I miss you already!

Meet the Dad & Bowling Night!

Jolo went home to meet my dad - AFTER 7 LONG YEARS! Hahahaha! :))

My dad is like the scariest dad on planet earth when you talk to him about me having a boyfriend and all the love stuff. He doesn't like the idea of me having a boyfriend. Ganun siya ka-strict! Well, as for Jolo, he thinks it's time na. Since he thinks na we'll be spending our lives together forever, he started by showing me and my family that he's really serious.

We bought pizza and sat in the sala for hours. My dad was nice and friendly, I think nabunutan siya ng tinik when he saw Jolo. He looked really nice and harmless! :D

We even talked to my mom over Skype. Too bad hindi ako nakapag screen shot! Imagine me and Jolo, and then my dad and my mom all in one screen! Haha. ;)

My mom told me na Papa was texting him the whole night saying na he can't sleep because I'll be bringing my boyfriend to meet him. It's just the sweetest! :) While I was in the shower getting ready to have dinner with Jolo and his family, I heard na he was talking to someone. I thought it was Kuya Pong. Then I realized it was my dad, they're having a conversation! :) It made my heart bloat with joy! :)

We left and headed to Eastwood to have dinner with the Tobias' family naman. Jolo's been staying at his Grandparents' house in Fairview. We went out with his grannies, Tita Em, her husband Tito Jon, and their kids Nico & Alfie (the cutest baby!) and Tito Bo. :)

We ate at Cyma then played Bowling after. Grabe, it was my first time and I had a lot of fun! Sila na magaling magbowling! :| Hahaha! I was never the kulelat though, not bad! :)

Jolo drove me home past 12 na. My dad was still up and we both said goodbyes na. Tomorrow, he's leaving for NZ again. He's always leaving me speechless. :)

FOOD FEST

So wag ka ng magtaka if I gained weight this year! :)) Jolo's been a big fan of eating, kaya I am as well too! We've been eating to different restos since he arrived from New Zealand. Lalo na kapag he hasn't tried eating to this certain resto, oh my! He will drag me and I always say YES! Hahaha!

* Tempura, Tongyang, TGIF, Mister Kabab, Sizzling Pepper Steak, Aruba, Condo ng Boys sa Taguig, Sbarro, Flavors of China and a whole lot more which will take me a few hours to recall! ;)

Hello, Mr. Tummy? How'd you do? :))

Tongyang

Jolo gave me and my sisters a treat at Tongyang! :) He misses my sisters and the kiddos too much he had to make an appointment to catch up with them. Too bad Dani wasn't able to make it. :(

Food attack! :)

Manila Ocean Park

I've been planning to bring Jolo to the Manila Ocean Park. Another day with the fishies are always fun, yes? :)

We watched the Sea Lion show, those fellas were so awesome! Then we said hello to our fish friends, watched the Fountain show and ate at Sbarro! Tiring but absolutely worth it! ;)

BORACAY 2010

As planned, Jolo and I went to Boracay during my long weekend. :)

We stayed at the Grande Boracay Resort, owned a room with 2 beds (Why 2? He didn't know until we got in!) for 4 days and 3 nights. Here's a recap:

Day 1

He picked me up straight from work (my 8 - 5 am shift) with the driver and his NZ buddy Jester plus his wife, Rolyn. Been very early in the airport. Grabbed the power breakfast meal and waited around. First plane ride was awesome, he let me sit beside the window.

Inside our room before heading out to see the beach! And yes, we wore the same shirt. :) The resort was so perfect for us. I loved it! The room was cozy and well furnished, the pebble-ish resting place outside, the food! Oh heaven :)

The beach is great! :) Boracay is different from any white sand beach I've ever been to. No words can explain how happily Jolo & I swam together with the fishes! Everything was so great!:)


Day 1 ended by trying out the night life in Bora. Like what most say, had a good time! :) I didn't get drunk! Here in the picture, couples Jester and Rolyn are with us sharing the night. They are just the cutest! Both 20 years old and married! Like, MARRIED! No, she's not pregnant or was pregnant, Jester loved her that he married her and willing to take her to New Zealand. :) Like Jolo & I, they were together since High school.

Day 2

It's Sailing/Snorkeling day! :) I fear the ocean, like seriously! I am the person who doesn't like swimming that much. I know how to swim, I just don't do it. I am scared to death. I think I'm gonna drown if you don't put a vest on me. Yes, I was very giddy to travel from island to island and snorkel, it's Boracay anyway! ;)



Saying hello to my dear fishy friends! No to shark and anything not friendly! :\

Had a great lunch nearby the Shangri-la shore. Jolo drew Spongebob and Patrick, a very sandy version of me, and a lot more doodles I seriously laughed my heart out. :)

By night we went Fire Dancin'! :) Beer, Shisha, Tobacco, and Fire dancers! (The lead fell in love with Jolo she wanted me to go home :|) HAHA!

Day 3

Early in the morning, it was cloudy though, we went to try the Reef walking. The pictures weren't uploaded yet but I saw the video already! The experience was a real blast, I was under the ocean grabbing fishes by my hand, feeding them, wandering around! I feel like I'm a fish! Except that I don't swim, I walk! :))

And the best thing we did, Parasailing! :) No words can explain how fun this is!

At night we had a Lobster Fest! Jester since day 1 wanted to eat lobsters. So yea, before we go home, why not? We bought too many lobsters we had to take the rest in the hotel.

Day 4
Packed our bags, left Bora with funfilled memories! :) He went home with his braided hair!

I spent my 4 days in Boracay without even spending not a single penny. It's like celebrating my birthday for 4 days! Haha! Thank you so much, Jolo. Taking me to this place meant a big deal to me. Spending every bits of it with you is the cherry on top! :)

Before work, Leslie, Kevin, Jolo and I decided to go to Metro and eat dinner at Aruba. :) Kevin & Jolo had to meet since Leslie is my best friend. I was really happy they get along just fine.

Earlier this year, I had my own troubles getting along with my best friends' boyfriend. It's not only jealousy that drove me crazy but also the other side of Kevin someone told us about. The thing that's been wrong with me is that I believe to rumors very much. Just because he looks like he can do it doesn't mean he did it. And so I gave him a chance. I've accepted the fact that my best friend will never leave this guy so what's left for me?
So, I tried my very best and played nice. Everything went well. I stayed out with rumors and ignored the boys when they say something that's about Kevin. The guy is real. He is nice and childish and he loves my best friend. And after all the bonding and dinner dates with these two, I got nothing to say about him anymore except all the good things. ;)

I also introduced Jolo to my new found girl friends Shaine and Meg. When Jolo was in the country way back 2008, Shaine and Meg were only my colleagues. Now, they're like my best girl friends! We share most stuff together! ;)

Dated: November 10, 2010 :)

After 2 years and 3 months, Jolo went home. :)

It was indeed a spontaneous decision, I won’t tell why he went home. :D

Went to the airport to pick him up, with his Grandparents and the driver. It was kind of a VERY long bonding sesh at Shakey’s because his flight was late. I was very nervous and scared because it was my first time to go out with his grannies. But then again, God loves me. His grandma (which he calls mommy) grabbed and squeezed my hand and told me not to be nervous. They are NICE. Like super NICE. :) While waiting, they shared stories about their trips all around the world, the time where his grandma worked in Paris while his grandpa worked in Singapore. They are the cutest. I envy them. :)

We were late because of all the sharing, we forgot about that time. Instead of us waiting for Jolo, he waited for us! Hahaha! They can’t even find him, I did! :)

I don’t know how to feel or what to say when I saw him, he hurriedly opened the door and gave me a kiss and a tight hug. He missed me! :D

They made me stay at their house at Pearl, East fairview. We didn’t sleep, he told me his never ending stories about New Zealand, gave me a HUGE Nike bag and his pasalubong for my best friend - an NZ shot glass! :)

Of course, he told me why he went home. Fine.

You’re getting old. Maybe one day you meet someone and think you might want to settle down. I can’t, can’t take that. So, this is it.

I am getting old. Yes. :D

A lot has changed, his voice, his height, how straightforward he talks to me, and the other stuff. One thing stayed the same, he still loves me.

And yes, he went home for me. :)

Red is the color of my energy :)

I've been really happy with what I've been getting as of this moment. :) It's like full of mixed emotions!

I wasn't able to go to work last Friday because I was very sick. I haven't gotten any sleep because my body clock is very weird. But then again, we all love Fridays. :)

I got my salary!

I pulled my 2nd month savings altogether and bought myself an iPhone! It was a really tough decision for me to take but yeah, I am happy with what I got!

I bought a red silicone which will be it's temporary case since I'm broke! I named it Pugsly :)

I've been very blessed as I was telling you. ;) My dad was happy for me because I can buy the things that I always wanted. My best friend, Elleryn, too! She said she's happy that I've been very independent when it comes to money and all.

I am really happy for everything. :)

I went to get my phone last Friday though I'm still sick. Went to meet my best friend, Les, after her work. We went to eat at my all time favorite, Five Cows! She get to treat me Nachos (the guhreat Nachos ever!) and I love her for that! Haha! Then her boyf, Kevin, went too. We had dinner at Mister Kabab.

Friday was great! Get to spend time with best friend, get to buy my iPhone!

Today:

And as for today, I had an appointment with my Dentist though I was very lazy to get my ass off of my bed! Thanks to my good friend, Len, she agreed to accompany me. :)

The adjustment of my braces was painful as hell! Well, I should be thankful I only have front teeth issues. :D I got my xrays too so now I don't have to worry about them anymore. :)

After the Dentist, Len and I went to Shangri-La mall. Strolled and caught up with the latest in office since I was gone for 2 days. We went to eat at Wham! and it was her first time. :) Had a really great bonding with her!

This is Len enjoying her Wham! :)

I was very tired when I got home. Caught some sleep and hey, I'm awake again, blogging. :)

With everything that's been happening to me since I started working again, much has been said. :) I love everything! All goes well I guess!

And yeah, changed from Pink to Red! ;)

Hasta! :)

Sick & Tired.

I've been pretty sick the whole week! Today, I decided to use my sick leave. It was a really bad day for me. :( I had to skip work or else my performance won't do well.

I think I've been saying this a lot lately, but really, work is very tiring! A lot of issues are coming up and I guess I'm not used to this! But hey, I ain't complaining. I know I've been very blessed and all, I'm just saying I kind of feel the pressure now.

Oh well. I help the medicine will work and same with resting the whole day.

Hasta friends :)

I love Sundays!

I just had an awesome Sunday today! :)

I planned well though watching Eat.Pray.Love didn't happen, it's still a win/win day! :D

I woke up early and read a couple of my magazines then headed off to meet my sister. We went to buy clothes in a Thrift Shop! I got myself 4 new blazers and a cute top. It's very affordable and pretty! :) Then we went to the mall and I took her to lunch. :) When I was a bum before, she used to treat me to everything! Now I think it's kind of my turn! :) I love it whenever I get the chance to buy something for her since she's been doing it to me for years. :)

After eating, she went home while I bought stuff that's on my list like stuff for the office, a Women's Health latest copy and all the other things.

I went to Starbucks to wait for a friend who's meeting me to grab a coffee and just chill. Jeah has been really sweet to reserve her day to meet me. I love it when a friend schedules a day that's just for the two of you. I've been the hang-out planner eversince. I get to make everyone attend on a certain date and I think without me, nobody's seeing nobody! It's just really nice when someone makes an effort to see you, sit with you and chat about stuff lately. :) So yeah, that's what we basically did. Jeah's been one of my truest friend, like the truest person I've ever known. She's never been hiding anything from me and I really love having conversations with her. I love it how she talks about boys and how she handles her heartbreak. I sooo envy her! :)

After a lot of gabfest, we went to eat crepes! :) I miss eating those since the last time I had one was March! Way back my review days! :)

Then Rea came to see us and we also had a VERY long talk. A lot of disappointments I might say!

I bought a new flats from Tomato! Spell awesome! :)

Hasta! ♥

New Blog! :)

I know it's crazy to be posting yet another new blog again. I have like 3 other blogs out there. The last one was from Xanga and yes, it's not very much updated but then again, I wanted to keep my blog a little more private now.

I haven't been updating for the past weeks since work has been tough on me lately. I will try my very best to cope up and fill as much as information as I can tonight. Since I'm doing nothing, I'm gonna update my newly loving blog. ♥

Friday and I'm not so in love.

You're supposed to say "It's Friday and I'm in love!"

But what if my Friday kind of, suck? (Forgive me while I rant!)

In the office, I was kind of having a hard time trying to adjust with our new audits. Everyday, we are being audited regarding our previous cases. It's been a routine. The thing is, we are not being audited properly. We always have to do rebuttals. I just don't get it. Why don't they audit something that's real?

I've been careless for the past week because the job was really exhausting. You do your stuff the right way and still there's something wrong with your work according to some people who don't even do their job well!

I was told that somebody will be coaching me next week since I have major errors (no, not to worry it's not only me!). What's stressing me out is that, who will be coaching me? Please don't give me someone who gets the same error as everybody else had. I mean, what is the point? You teach me something we both know? And who do you think you are to coach me? Have you seen your errors lately?

I just hated how it sounded like someone came up to me and told me that he'll be sitting next to me because he's gonna "coach" me. It's degrading! What is your basis?

Okay, it sounded like I really had a bad day. I can't help it, I had to let it all out!

And take note, it's not only me who had a bad day. Someone came up to my desk hours before dismissal and literally cried. I know how stressed he's been lately and I can't blame him for crying. I just told him to hang on and be strong. All the hard work will eventually pay off, I guess.

Several other people were not in the mood at work too. Friday madness!

Wishing for a better week in the office. As long as everybody gets an error, I know I am not the only one!

Hasta. ♥

Movie of the day: Toy Story 3

Okay, forgive me if I am such a bummer and I haven't seen this movie when it was a big hit months ago. I have no time for movies anymore. I used to watch alone whenever I can but now, days have been cruel or mostly I'm tired to move. Haha.

So yeah, tonight we watched this movie since my sisters and my nieces are at home for a weekend. :) My dad was also up and he watched a couple of scenes then realized the movie was VERY childish, he went inside his room. Lol.

What's great about Toy Story 3 is that it made me cry. Like literally! My eyes are all teary and my nose, Gah my nose! :))

I guess it's been really catchy to me because I used to own a lot of good stuff when I was a kid and I've been in Andy's shoes. I am the type of person who holds into things as much as I can. My mom and my sister always says that. I cried over my stuff toys when they were given by my mom to some random kids because I used to own too much of them. I take them with me in bed too just like Bonnie. ♥

So yes, this movie is definitely a favorite movie! 'Nuff said.

Hasta! ♥
