it’s been a month?! that’s interesting. so i was really busy… hmmm…
last january, we had visitors from mexico. kasi they had to establish their own lab. they wanted to see lang how we do it here in manila. plus the usual sharing of thoughts among superiors regarding this and that over lunch. it turned out pretty well. one of them nga even said na we were doing a good job. but of course there are some work that still needs to be done in prep for april. more visitors coming… argh! why naman april!
prayer granted.
february one. finally! my dream trip to baguio.
after work, i decided to invite blessa for some coffee. (i was sooooo nervous talaga! i didn’t know why. so i wanted coffee… to make me more nerbyos!) it was already past ten when we finally decided to part ways. she went home. i went on my way to baguio (with my colleagues xmpre). at first i couldn’t sleep at all! because it was soooo masikip sa van. but then as time passed by, i found naman a comfy position. it felt like i have been asleep for a long time kahit hindi naman. i was naalimpungatan when we stopped somewhere sa baba ng baguio, baka daw may gusto mag-cr or whatever but i think the people sa van were half-asleep pa so who cares di ba?! hahaha! ayun! it was madilim so it was not so nakakatakot. the only thing that is nakakatakot is how manong is driving! how he takes on the curves! my goodness! hindi man lang nagppreno! di ata uso sa kanya yung break! i don’t know… basta!
6am na nung nagdecide akong bumangon. it was soooo malamig! buti na lang i brought some medjas with me. it’s freezing kaya there pag umaga! i went out nga to take some pictures and of course to feel the cool breeze of baguio. lamig! sarap! sayang wala me someone to hug!
first stop. bell church. most interesting thing i saw there: probably the small fountain with the tulips.
after don, we went to tamaw-an. i love it there! sobrang heaven! ang daming interesting pieces! and our tour guide allowed us to take photographs of some of the artworks. now that’s interesting! ayun! dun ako marami pictures na nakuha! and one more thing na masarap don e yung cold chocolate nila. hmmmm! it was sooooo masarap!!!!!!
we stopped by muna ata sa our lady of Lourdes grotto. we had two pictures taken with Igorots. 120 pesos kaya! pero we were not in the position and mood to argue with them naman kaya sige na. 120 pesos.
then we went to sm baguio to eat lunch. i had a hearty porkchop! nakakagutom!
more picture taking nung hapon. although i was soooo pagod na! but there are a lot of interesting sites and items dun. tska hello! first time ko kea dito so better make the best out of it deba? we went to botanical garden, minesview park, pma and camp john hay. ang ganda!!!! ang ganda talaga dun! although marami na ring houses. ayun! we bought pasalubong na rin that day. kasi me and ate joy were going back to manila nung madaling araw.
that night, we had a feast sa bahay nila jet (he’s the one from baguio! buti na lang he’s our officemate ha ha ha! how else would this trip turn out to be a reality if it weren’t for him and his wife beth?). anyway, ang sarap ng food! it’s like you are having your last meal na! after dinner, we made tingin na the pictures we took that day. imagine one thousand plus pictures yon! we hooked it up sa tv and made fun of each other! he he he!
i didn’t want to sleep kasi two hours na lang we were to hit the road again to go back to manila. sakit kaya sa ulo yon! pero i was sooooo sleepy na talaga! so sleepy in fact na i found the couch so cozy to make tulog! feeling ko house namin yon?!?! anyway, some time after that, narinig ko na yung voice ni kuya jet. waking me up na. tapos hinatid na nila kami sa bus terminal. a little before one, me and ate joy were both on our way to manila na. some five hours later, i woke up and realized na we were already at cubao na pala. half past 6, i was already at home. i just kissed my mom and greeted my dad and went off to bed.
february two o’eight.
i had to wake up na agad because i promised ate jo that i would join her sa pasinaya at ccp. ang nakakatawa don, naunahan ko pa sya sa manila. i had coffee. tapos when they (she brought someone along with her, si isko.) came na, we looked around for some food. they ate. i didn’t na kasi nga i just had coffee.
we saw philippine madrigal singers!!!! my first time! they are soooo galing talaga! and we saw tribu (this was the movie that bagged last year’s best picture sa cinemalaya). it was well made! the actors were superb! ang galing talaga! i wonder what preparations they made para sa story na to. i mean, it looked so natural to me! sabagay… no acting needed since they were like retelling their lives to the world. ang galing! they sure deserve the win.
after the loooong day sa pasinaya. we went home. the following day i found myself at work yet again. super toxic ko! sobrang toxic na i haven’t made bawi pa nga sa tulog! so there! that answers my being absent sa blogging scenario! but who cares! i’m back! (but still not myself!)

p.s i went to manila yesterday (feb9,08) kasi nga may ms excel workshop kami. wala pa sila when i got there so i decided to buy breakfast (softdrinks #1). then we ate sa tokyo tokyo (softdrinks #2) and played billiards (sobrang tagal ko nang hindi nakakahawak ng tako!) then i went to ust to meet jobs and blessa (thanks soooo much for printing the picture for me! i love you so much!) sa kfc (softdrinks #3). tapos i went to cubao kasi nga i was looking for a lomo. sabi ni reb meron sa fully booked boni. i thought naman na all fully booked stores have it. so i went to gateway. only to find out that my quest for a lomo was in vain. sadness! walang lomo don. i decided to grab something to eat on my way home. i missed taco bell sooooo much that i devoured quesadilla, some nachos and a large pepsi (softdrinks #4) while cruising the kahabaan of EDSA.
i slept around 8. had no more energy. period.
