its more beautiful in the philippines v.2012

last year, a lot of filipinas marked a history in beauty contests - ms. universe, ms. world and ms. earth. they may not won the title (just runners up) but it still. being one of the finalists makes me very proud of our race.

5.33 AM/5.41 AM

i am a morning person. even though i sleep late, i can wake up as early as 4.30 am. so, its not a big deal for me to make a morning run and/or fetch her. hhhmm...i assume you know who am i referring to. for the past couple of months, i fetch her every morning and then i go to work. 6 am bus ride makes me an early bird for i usually arrive 7.30 @ mandaluyong.

goodbye my friend

my reebok shoes (trail) is now a record holder. so far, it is my longest running buddy. he used to be my gym buddy as well. i just love it! but like any other love, you need to know when to let go. it is so hard to say goodbye to a friend like my shoes. i may look stupid to some folks but i really love this one.

pilgrimage to madrid v.10

afterwards, nagpunta kami sa Palomeras Altas (sana tama ako...lol!). this is where kiko initiated the neo catechumenal way. dito kami kumain ng lunch tapos konting explantion si luigi tungkol sa place. iba yung feeling nung nandun ako. i felt my root. diniscuss sa amin how things went through at may mga pinakitang pictures with kiko and carmen. luigi reminded us of what kiko and the pope told us...

day when i gained 4 lbs

this day is really special. we had a team lunch - our lunch team lunch here in chicago. we ate at Cheesecake Factory. i ordered diane's steak with herb crusted salmon. it was served with mashed potatoes. it was really good.

RockStar is on his way to Chicago

hhhmmm...the day concluded with a grin in my face saying goodbye to some of my peers...

it was supposed to be a very sad day because this will be my last working day in manila but i see to it that no tears will flow to my eyes....(iyakin pa naman ako)...Kristine is not successful in teasing me.

instead of crying, i was surprised with my team's little gift before i go. they nominated me to become the rockstar for the month of november...(saya di ba!?)...and i even won the award...



i hate goodbyes, but i have no choice but to bid farewell. to my co-workers here in manila, see you online! to my kids - bill, aiza and kristine - , thank you for being good kids to me.

chicago, go! go! go!

December 7…I do not know what is happening with me. I should be happy yet so sad. I should feel excited yet so numb. If someone else will be given this opportunity, he/she might be shouting out of joy but here I am sitting in my bedroom talking to you…

…I am not feeling well. For three consecutive days, I was suffering from severe cold (baka nga sinusitis na). I was hoping that I could attend my last Christmas Party with Helen and Que but I guess I can not…

…My Mom is not around. I am not comfortable if she is not around whenever I have cold. LOL. Quite funny but it is true. She attended the Grand Marian Procession in Intramuros. I would like to come, too. But I am really not feeling well today…

…I do not want to start my countdown but I guess I have to. It will be 27 days to go. Yes, I was supposed to leave on January 3. This might be what Ana explains to be last minute tutut.

Whatever this feeling is, I DO NOT CARE. All I want is this feeling to be tutut. NoW!
