Summit Point, 1/5/2007

here i go again with my travels... ehehe.

so, we had an event last january 5. i was up at 3 am. we had to leave ortigas by 5 so that we could get to lipa, batangas by 7 am. we attended a golf tournament by some lsgh alumni batch at summit point.

sarapp ng buhay pare!!! haha. syempre, me and aya only had to work a total of two hours. my boss... well, he worked a total of 5 minutes then he went off to swing his golf clubs away.Ü everything was free. sagot ng company. had 2 cups of kapeng barako in one sitting, and still we fell asleep. sarap ng hangin. sobrang lamig, i had to wear a jacket (see below). it was also fun when the photog's golf cart crashed into the clubhouse patio. hehe. parang cartoons. nag-screech yung brakes, then you hear a loud thud, and the next thing i knew, i was looking at this girl's legs waving up in the air as she was stuck among the flower bushes. hehe. galing!

lots of old guys (batch 82 eh) and then there were the younger batches. mga batch 90+ na... hehe. actually, they were all guys. period. me and aya were practically the only girls there.

and then there was monsour del rosario. hehe.

aya: rach, papapicture ako kay monsour. kuhanan mo ko.
rach: okay.
monsour: hey (ref: me) dito ka sa kabilang side ko
rach: sino kukuha ng pic?
monsour: (looks at sir nino- the boss)
boss: sige tabi ka na doon

hahaha!

oh diba ni-request pa ko?! at ang boss pa namin ang kumuha ng pic! wahahaha. angkulet.

hence the pic:

ayun. sa susunod na adventures namin ulit!

21

i turn 21 today. i've always loved birthdays. i find it more exciting than christmas. or new year. or any other holiday on the planet. last night, i found it really hard to go to sleep. it's something i do every year. i wait until midnight to see who would be the first to greet me. last night, though, i had my first greeters even before the clock stroked 12. donna wins. at 11 pm, she had greeted me already while we were texting. then allan (real shocker). then aimee (praningles). then xenia (dude! tagay!). then dennis (how can i forget edsa shang? how can i top it?!). then ces. who called me exactly at midnight, even if the line was choppy.

of course, my mom had to whisper it in my ear last night. and then was freaky dancing earlier. haha. what a sight. and we're going shopping later. she got her gift sized wrong. hehe. whoopee!

then this morning, i would find myself waking up to the sound of my cellphone ringing. some old friends remembered. i never thought they would, because the last time they remembered, i was still in high school. haha. thanks noel (banker, libre mo ko). jonas and migs, too. i'll see you in another party, i bet.

jen left her gift for me on my bedroom floor before she went to school. grey's anatomy! yeey!

xyla (tigbak!) and binay (sana magkasama-sama tayo diyan) too. oh, but they always remember. they've always been just around the corner for me... hehe. i just tend to be a little anti-social sometimes. pschoory.

then there's mervs. we have a morning routine of texting already. umlauts will always be special to me.Ü right now, we're chatting on ym. my mornings will never be the same if i don't wake up to see his picture flashing on my phone. actually, my life will never be the same without him... awwww. i'm starting to get mushy. i'll be seeing him later. just typing that last line had me smiling already. he's the best gift life could ever give me. and he knows that.

another thing i liked about waiting for my birthdays is watching tv! hehe. i was watching myx last night and i absolutely enjoyed their backtraxx. 90s pop! all the songs i know from way back when my hair was one length and short, and i was rail-thin and buck-toothed. haha. i was 12 when those songs came out. now i'm 21. woow. baliktaran. deep. haha.

ayun. that's the end of my birthday post. thank you, to everyone who remembered.Ü hope we all have a good year.

Food Trip

i saw this in friendster. sinagutan ni jobs. sabi ni mervs, mag-update ako... wala pa nga lang akong maisip na i-update eh. hehe. work? nagsasawa na ko, sa totoong buhay lang. bahay? don't stay here long enough para magka-issue. heehee. labs? shempre! okay na okay!Ü babasahin nya to eh. hehe.

but the reason behind posting this survey is this: we're (that's mervs and me) are trying to lose weight. we've been eating out a lot last year... and we're trying to lessen that now. kaya lang, napapareminisce ako sa food ko... wahuhu. kaya isulat nalang natin sila dito para ma-realize ko naman na ang dami ko ngang nakakain. hahaha.
