I don't normally wake up in the morning for just anything,
but this was a special day! The Paulinians made an event to
help out the family of our teacher Mrs. Bronilla who passed away recently.

They arranged a volleyball tournament and all the proceeds would go to
Mrs. Bronilla's family - diba ang sweet? Everyone loved her so much kasi
so a lot of people wanted to help out


This is the stamp you get after you pay for your ticket



We were at the complex, watching the game, but then we got bored
and decided to explore the places where we used to hang out.


We wanted to see the canteen, but it was closed for some kind of renovation.



... We went in anyway.



Walked around and saw this - this little bag is where we put our lab gowns!



After leaving the canteen, we went to the lower floor of the senior building.
We were thinking about hanging out in the hall downstairs because there was
an aircon there - The heat that day was super bad



To our surprise there were mirrors there na!
(Used to be just walls when we were in high school)




That's Freya, Tal, Celine, me, Ellie, Gianina, Set, and Charmie!



... We were trying to be Avengers here



Our plan didn't fail! We were able to have a bit of aircon time!
(This area was off limits that day, but we really really really wanted some cold)



After getting caught by a guard and getting told to leave the hall,
we went back to the complex. This is where we graduated, by the way.
The building wasn't done at the time though, so if you guys look for
Ate's blog post about my graduation, you'd see how funny it was (and sad)



That's Freya, one of my bestestestest friends ever.
There is a wild Setset also, and I love her very very much as well!
(Freya sana you didn't leave so early talaga)



This is Soleil. She used to have really short hair, and she knows Taekwondo.
I have a video of her breaking her guitar in third year. :-)



This is Ana, (Yes, we are both Anas!) a classmate from seventh grade!
She is funny and tall and she plays guitar and she runs and she's the only
other Ana in the batch I know that has only one N in her name, like me



This is Jackie, I owe her her yearbook. =))
In fourth year we turned her into a goddess for an english project



That's Ski, Christie, and Je!



This is the tent. This is where we have our flag ceremonies and
this is one of the hang out places we go to when it's dismissal time and we're bored



Chicharon ka ba, Tal?



This is Mikha. I don't think we've ever been classmates but we became close, anyway.
She plays guitar and she sings and she can make pretty songs on the piano
and she has the most adorable little girl who I met for the first time that day



That's Aiden, Mikha's daughter! (Swear sobrang cute niya ano ba)



Watching the game from the stage



The official had a very interesting hairstyle



I think we won this game - I can't remember. :-))



There was a drumset on stage, too. And a bunch of them were telling me to play something
so we could cheer, but no one cheered with us! As in my batch just looked at the few of us
and then they just continued watching the volleyball. :-))



Anyway - it was a really fun day. I missed everyone and it was just nice to be
in St. Paul again - and with a lot of batch mates this time.

To end my post:
I'M AT A PAYPHOOONE TRYING TO CALL HOOOME


OKAY HAHAHA BYE

The title seemed appropriate since that's how I reacted when I first saw this little guy.

Yes, there is a new dog in the house!
(I can't believe I would ever type that down, seriously)

He is a three-month old pomeranian, and his name is Korra!
(Named after, yes, Legend of Korra, because it is my current obsession)
Most of these photos aren't focused - Korra doesn't ever stay still. Well, unless he's asleep.



I'm in love. Mom asked Kuya Manolo for help in finding a small dog,
and he went around Tiendesitas with Mickey the night before and found this cutie.
We went back there yesterday, and Mom agreed to get him na.



He puked when he got home, though )-: Nahilo ata sa car ride. Super kawawa
Still so makulit, though. Made him drink some water and he was okay na ulit.



He likes biting stuff (especially me)
He's teething so I'll go get him something to chew on later





He's so small, too! )-:





His first meal! (Syempre hindi nanaman naka-focus.)
He finished his food in 2 minutes, and even though
I wanted to give him some more, I stopped myself.
(He might get indigestion and that is bad)



He has fallen in love with my shoe, too.



Oh, and I put him in my boot just because.




He likes moving around when he's asleep.
That stuffed pug was a birthday gift from my two friends, Jean and Bem. :-)




He likes sticking his face in corners, jdhslkjfhsjfjshd



Hyper as ever this afternoon






He loves getting his tummy rubbed, also. :"-)
My goal is to get proper pictures of this baliw soon




Dear Mom and Dad, thank you so mats

They woke us up that day suddenly saying that we had plans for lunch pala.
Me and Tisha were not informed!!! We wore all our clothes without taking a bath
and headed downstairs (buti nalang sa hotel pa rin yung lunch)

Miko's friend Sheena went all the way to the hotel just so she could say bye to me!
(ANG SWEET MO SHEENA ANO BA)

So yeah. We finally got to take a bath and dress up properly.
All just in time for check out. Whew.

Waiting for the van to arrive.



Hey Tracy, why you do dat peace sign?



Look, I have rabbits on my top!



Look at how much taller she's gotten



I love the van )-:



I love having my own row.



Airport - me and Tracy got Mcdo.
Quarter Pounder (without anything except for meat and cheese) for Tracy



Milo McFlurry for Tisha



And seaweed fries for Ana



Kuya Leo wanted a photo with his new bag



After we passed through immigration, the adults wanted to shop some more,
but Tracy and I wanted to rest nalang. I took her to a toy store where we found
nice origami books, then we headed to the lounge so we could try them out



Dad and Kuya Leo arrived a few minutes later and found us in the corner



Boarded the plane - Tisha said, "Take a picture! Kunwari tulog ako"



We all got left behind on the plane when it landed
in Manila because all three of us needed to pee.

When we finally caught up with the rest of them,
Dad asked me why we didn't just pee before landing.
It was because we were all asleep

Arrival - 9:10pm

Hi! My day started at around 5pm.

As usual, I was in the hotel room the whole morning to afternoon
because I had to work. I woke Miko up that morning, by the way!

It was around 10am and I was really hungry so I jumped on his bed
and he thought there was an emergency. Then I just said I was hungry.

He went with me to the free breakfast thing upstairs!

Since I only allowed myself to go out at 5,
I was super hyper and wanted to go to buy stuff
Tisha and Tracy had just gotten back from a day of shopping themselves,
so Tisha wanted to sleep first



Tracy agreed to go with me because she wanted chicken skin from Tori Q.
We walked to Paragon, bought food for her and Tisha, and then we
walked  to Cineleisure. I was hungry too, so I got some McDonald's first.
I had McBites (which Miko taught me to eat)



And seaweed fries (of course)



Tracy and I planned to start at the top floor, then work our way down.
I went with her so she could get a new pair of Vans

At around 6pm, Tisha texted, "Wru guys???" and that was when we remembered
that we still had her chicken skin with us and she thought we'd be back =))

When she found out that we were at Cineleisure though,
she said she'd follow cos she wanted to shop too

Ate Diday picked us up there and then we went to uhm...
A pizza place I don't know the name of for dinner.



Playing with the candle




Dear Tracy, I love this picture you took



Kuya Leo and Ate Diday



This was where they were making the pizzas.
I went over there and said, "Hi! Can I take your picture?"
The guy bent over in the photo said to me, "No! :-))"
And they all laughed so I took the picture anyway



I found this so interesting as in seriously



After dinner, we all swore to finish going around Cineleisure
+ they felt bad for me cos I was stuck in the hotel for to days cos
of finals. So yeah. We were back at Cineleisure again. =))

Something we did a lot during Singapore: Speak in a British accent.
How can you not do that anyway? Every time you say "May the odds ever be in your favor,"
it has to be in an accent or else it's no fun!



Tracy and I wanted toys from the Gachapon area, but we didn't have coins.
We went around all the eating places in the basement floor just to have
our bills changed into coins, okay



And we succeeded!



We were wondering why Dad and Mom had so many bottles of water in their room.
They didn't know why either.



Tisha found me outside our room looking like this cos i couldn't open our door.
I had my shopping with me + Mom and Dad's dirty clothes
(I packed them in my maleta because I had a lot of space)



I asked Miko to do the bed pose - don't tell him I posted this, please.



And meet Mexican Fluffy. He's new!

Hello. On the third day, I decided to stay in the hotel because I really had to work.
All that happened was I got lonely, this,



and this. (I was trying to see what I looked like without bangs)



Anyway - I finally met up with Tisha and Tracy again, then we walked to Paragon.
Dinner was at a Peking Duck place.



This is to annoy Ate because she hates the peace sign:




Again, the two girls finished all the shrimp



Mister Alan-dude was taking out the duck fat before eating the thing.



"Healthy is better," he explained.



How could you even slice off the fat of this wonderful, yummy creature........



And of course, mango sago, my loveeee.



Us kids were allowed to walk around even before dinner finished, so went to
Toys R Us (Yes, I forced them because I think I'm the one who likes toys the most)

We got Iron Man, Thor, and Darth Vader masks, and then we dared each other
to keep on wearing the masks around the mall. :-)) We went to the supermarket like that



Uncle Lawrence took this. Kuya Leo wanted a picture with the heroes kasi.



Back at the hotel - ang pogi nung kotse.



And guess what - neither me nor Tisha took a key with us before we left.
We got locked out of our own room (so I rolled around in the hall)



The sisters sat by the door while we waited for Kuya Leo,
who had a master key with him. (A key that can open any of our rooms!)



OUR HERO

Day two was probably our busiest day! We went to Ion for lunch
LOOK IT'S MIKO (He was supposed to sleep over the night before but he had a project to finish)



Gio and Miko! (Wait, Miko, was his name really Gio or am I wrong?)


The other table - Ate Diday (who is missing), (Tita) Lani, Mom, and Tracy



... I love you.



Meet the chicken skin. We all love this, but when we ordered, we found out that there
were only four sticks of it left. We made a deal to have one each with no agawan.



Chicken wing, I love you too.



I think this is chicken, still. Chicken and quail eggs. Miko and Gio ate this all.
I will never understand boy's appetites.



Oh, and an update - I got a polkadot Blackberry case from Cineleisure the
night before! So I wore my polkadot dress and my polkadot leggings



We went around Ion some more, and I found a polkadot ribbon....
So I had to get it........



The two girls wanted some Tori Q chicken skin because we didn't have enough at lunch



It was just us three that afternoon, by the way. I really like this picture of
them but they're gonna hate me for it because they like
pretending that they hate each other




We walked to Wisma and Tisha wanted to go to Cotton On but me and Tracy were tired,
so she sat on the floor while waiting for Tisha who was fitting.

If I was with Ate, I would be the one sitting down,
but Tracy is the younger one now, so it's her turn to sit on the floor HAHA



I finally got my Famous Amos fix. (Ate hi I remembered you when I bought this)



Outside, we found this little cutie. (Tisha and Tracy found him disgusting,
but he's adorable kaya.) We had no idea why a lizard like that was hanging out
outside Wisma, but of course I had to take a picture, right?



Walked back to the hotel, but we passed by Sweet Talk first.
We're in love with their Milo bubble tea. Hello, who doesn't love Milo ba kasi



Polkadots everywheeeeere



Went to the chicken rice place we always go to when we're in Singapore!
Kuya Leo kept on asking me to take a picture of him with Mister Alan-dude
and (Tita) Lani - I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ADDRESS THEM, OKAY?



Muah muah muah



We didn't stay with them until dinner ended because Miko needed to get some stuff
from his apartment. Me and Tisha went with him there because we wanted to see his new place



The elevator looks like something from a mental ward
(Miko explained that it was like that because people were bringing in furniture all the time)



And of course...




The saddest T-shirt in the world.
We hate you, Miko. Who gave you this? It's depressing



After getting picked up again, we (as in me, Tisha, and Miko)
went to Cineleisure to meet up with Miko's friends to hang out and stuff



THE SEAWEED FRIES ARE BACK
(Dear Ate, no one ate this with me while I was there. I missed you very much.)



This was the cutest game at the arcade. I cannot explain what it is because
I cannot remember its name right now.



When we finally left the arcade, we found Mister Alan-dude with everyone else outside.
He instantly bought us tickets to Hunger Games as in wala kaming choice okay!!!



"Take a picture of me pointing to her so it looks like everything is her fault!"
(He said this because I told him I had to go back to the hotel because I had to
work on finals and it was already around 12:45 when this was taken)

Mister Alan-dude was so nice, though! He got us food and drinks and everything!
Plus, I finally got to watch it huhuhuhuhu yehey



Oh! And we did this:


After the movie, (which was around 3am,) Mister Alan-dude, (Tita) Lani,
and Mister Alan-dude's brother, (Tito) Lino walked us home.

I really don't know how to address them all. Just the first name feels weird
and adding a "Tita" or a "Tito" feels weird also =)) Ewan ko na

Hello, I know it's late, but I really couldn't blog in real time
for the past week because of finals (IT'S FINALLY OVER, AMEN)

For Holy Week (or what was left of Holy Week, because our break didn't
happen until Thursday,) we went to Singapore to visit Miko.

I was supposed to sit next to a random person on the plane, but
Kuya Leo saved me by trading seats with me, so I was with Tisha.
Before the flight, she ordered an orange juice and didn't finish it.
She started panicking when we were about to take off because
she said her drink might spill everywhere


In the wise words of my sister, (who is in Holland) "We are a Rimowa family"



Tracy and I mostly sat in the back for every ride we had in a van.
(You might have read this before, but I want to say it again. Pake mo ba)
I love the car rides from the airport to the hotel and vice versa



We kept busy with some apples while Ate Diday fixed the room arrangements



Something new on this trip - Tisha decided that every time we see a bed,
we should have pictures taken doing this pose. That is probably a deal
we will keep for the rest of our trips together, because it is quite fun




For dinner, we went to Ming Kee. The only place where I like eating crab. We had fish skin again! Mmmm
(Down there is a drawing of me annoying Tisha while she was playing with her iPad)


We filled up two tables cos we were so many



It was freezing



This clam thing looked like it had legs - really maarte legs.



This was the duck that looked and tasted like bacon



Tracy with my lens cap + Tisha making epal



Their favorite - shrimps (They can eat ten million of these things, am not kidding)



I was Tracy's tagabalat-ng-hipon for the trip



Shrimp moustache




This was the crab I was talking about



After dinner, us kids were nangangati to go to a mall, so we had
ourselves dropped off at Cineleisure where we were sure some places
were still open. We ended up only getting some bubble tea.
Why are the bubble teas here not as cute?

I mean look, there's a fishball bunny man on the cup. Kakagigil.



We walked back to the hotel, and we passed by this scary guy on the way.
I brought my wide angle lens with me so I couldn't take a closer shot,
(kasi din takot ako lumapit kasi baka bigla siyang gumalaw huhuhu)

Lunch last Sunday was at Mandarin Hotel, cos Ate
told us to try the Thai food nananana thing basta she blogged about it!

Update 1 - I covered my 3DS in stickers because I do not like the color blue
and there were only blue ones available at the time I got mine



Update 2 - I haven't had mango and sticky rice in the longest time and
I was so excited to eat it. I was disappointed kasi maasim yung mangga :-))



Update 3 - A giant tuna was hanging out at the sushi part of the buffet


... Of course I had to poke some part of it.



Update 4 - I still love raw fish. Salmon only, though



Update 5 - Guys, may cotton candy sa Paseo Uno!!! We were laughing because
the cotton candy was going out of control and the guy couldn't get it on the stick anymore




Update 6 - I had work to do but I decided to go to Tisha's house because
I wasn't able to visit this cutie the week before


Look at that face huhuhu



Whenever you have food, he automatically does "sit!"
He has a new trick, though! It's called, "Leave it!" tapos when you say it,
he really won't eat a treat even if you put it super near his face


Gigil bwisit



That thing next to him is his new bed!



Tracy was feeding him liver here.
Apparently, dogs really love liver



CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE GDSJHDGFJSHFJSH



He doesn't bite me that much anymore!




Look, he's stepping on my really veiny foot! )-:
I love it when dogs step on me or walk on me or lie down on me :-))



This is his other bed. I think the towel is his kumot.




Cameo appearance by Tisha's prom dresses there at the back!




Princess Simba



Update 7 - Simba's tooth fell out! I was the one playing with him at the time
and I panicked because I thought I did something wrong!
Dogs are like people pala, when they're kids, their baby teeth really fall out
so the adult teeth can start to grow! Super cute. Ate Diday kept the tooth!



Mukha namang hindi masakit. He didn't really do anything
after the tooth disappeared, so we just kept playing.
He looks happy here!

Ate Diday told me long ago that they were gonna have this dog grooming truck
come by their house to give Simba a bath. That day was two Sundays ago!

I was really puyat the night before and I was planning to just sleep the whole afternoon,
but then they reminded me about it and of course I had to be there, right?

Simba's as close as I can get to my own dog right now, so duh.

We stayed in Ate Diday's room that day thinking that the truck would get there agad,
but then the grooming truck texted and said they weren't done with two scary
chow chows wherever they were and they'd be late daw.




In the meantime, Simba was being his normal self - adorable :-|


I think he liked the plastic more than the toys that were inside it



Super nanggigigil siya, okay



I think it's the cutest when dogs have their butt up like that. :-))



Hiiiiii don't you just wanna hug hiiiiiim



Oh, and we tried going in his cage. It was fun.
I tried doing this with Broken and Chief's cage too.
(Broken was Ate Diday's last dog)



Tracy wanted to make gaya also.




... Yeah she's being Sadako here



Simba was chewing on some red dinosaur when I took this



Look at his paw )-:



I don't care if he bites me all the time
I don't care if he eats my hair all the time too
I love this dog so much



The truck finally arrived at around 5, so we all went out to
help him get unscared... :-))




I know Ate blogged about this truck a while back eh.
I can't remember when, basta I know she did




Yuck bakit ganyan buhok ko + look at Simba nalang and how big he is na



He looked like he didn't want to be there!



Kawawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa



HAHAHAHAH this is how he looks like when he's getting a bath




This is what a wet chow chow looks like



His face was getting squished! They were drying his hair.



We all waited there until he was done



Yay, he was starting to look all fluffy again!



SUPER BANGO!!!

I've been spending a lot of time in Paranaque lately.
I'm group mates with my friend Cheska in VIDPROD2,
and since her house is awesome, we've been shooting there
a lot for our films (I was thinking of typing "plates," but are films plates also?)

She has three dogs, but this one over here is the only one she
officially officially owns. His name is Chief, and he's a Boston Terrier. :-)
He's around 5 months old, and he's a genius!



This is Almond, a purebred Shih Tzu that they found somewhere in the village.
When no one came looking for her, they decided to keep her nalang.



That's Chief's favorite toy!
... It's dead now



Look, he's in an outfit! (Whenever I go over to Cheka's house, he's
always wearing something else. :-)) )



Chief reminds me of Ina's dog, Miso. He loves everyone he meets too. :-))



This is Mallows, Cheska's oldest dog. If I'm not mistaken, she's 5 years old. :-)
Sometimes we're friends, and sometimes she hates me. I can't hate her though,
look at that face. She's too cute. )-: She's a Lhasa Apso + Shih Tzu mix!
(She's bigger than both those breeds though, so 'di ko gets.)



Mallows is so cute, seryoso lang.




Okay, I won't talk na. Look at the cuteness nalang.







Hahah this is the film we made about Chief.
Basta naiinis ako cos I could have fixed the focus more pero kjdhfkjhjk
And ang daming panty hahahahaha
