Goodbye Year of the Pig, Hello Year of the Rat

Here I go again, saying "Hello 2008, Goodbye 2007". Saying hello for the new opportunities that will come and goodbye to the year/s of good opportunities and blessings. One question does strike me, "have I really lived the past year good enough to be given another chance to experience the New Year?" I guess so and I guess not. Do I sound sentimental? I hope not.. I just want to reminisce all the things I have done and make sure that I can start the new year right. Well, I just want my friends and anyone who will be able to read my blogs how lucky we are to experience a new year.
2007 had been a good year actually not only last year but since the year I was born. Given the chance to see the world and be blessed to experience the wonders of the nature HE had created. Every good and bad thing happened to us are all blessings, a rare chance to experience how it is to be Human. Honestly, I haven't been kind enough to be blessed but He gave it to me because He wanted me to accept and feel that He love me and will continue to love me inspite and despite of my imperfections.
In this spirit, I will want to start my 2008 and the years ahead. Do I really worth to be here? I guess so, because I know I am still here for a purpose and I know deep down in my heart that I haven’t fulfilled that purpose yet... Now, let us together shout, "Goodbye 2007 and Hello 2008"

Elementary Barkada Reunion

We just held our annual reunion/get together of my elementary friends last December 29, 2007. It was held in Jenny's house and thank God, daming umatend grabe... not only the usual/common attendees from the lst reunions but there came also Roldan, Jason, Alejandro and Wilfredo. Nice huh....One thing nice also was the sky. I have given a chance to experience the beauty of the stars... nasa labas kasi kami ng bahay eh... Then konting inuman at kainan, ng kanya kanyang dala.....It was one of the get together that I will definitely miss and treasure.
Next year, I am really looking forward to our annual reunion and hoping that more of our friends/batchmates will comet to celebrate it together with us......
Happy New Year!!!

Gimik with College Buddies

Last saturday, me, Mia, Fritz and Coco went out for even just one night to unwind. It was supposedly scheduled last week of November but unfortunately due to some urgent personal reasons, it was push out until that day(121507). Anyway, there is a saying that "Better be late than never"... hehehehe. It was a very goodnight, we started the night by dining in at Gerry's Grill in MOA, then take a stroll near the Manila Bay(dunno, what is the name of the place but it has a very nice fountain....) , then we went to Pier One just to have sme drinks.... Hay, c Mia, lagi n lang pixs ang hinhanap, good thing, Fritz, brought his camera... Just as we were already tipsy, we have decide to get a zip of Starbucks coffee at Blue Wave... Kwentuhan to the max up to 3:00am then we decided to part ways... Ay ang saya talaga.... Thanks Guys! I really had fun. Hope to See you Again!

Trips to Taiwan

After my US adventures, here comes another adventures that I have expereince, this time in one of the Asian country which is Taiwan. To date, I have been in Taiwan for three times now. My first travel to Taiwan, I have been to Taipei 101, CHiang Kai Shek and Tamshui where you can find the so called "Lovers Bridge", with my elementary friends who are working now in Taiwan hahaha.... My 2nd travel was quite boring, I never got the chance to visit any place that time... Wala kasing kasama eh... However my third time there, I have got the chance to join Chipmos guys on their trip to Janfusun Fancy World. There I have experience to ride a roller coaste, floorless p un ha... It really worth it that I have given it a try... It was experience I will treasure for the rest of my life.
Just want to share some pixs and at the same time, I will just say thank you for the Chipmos guys and gals for allowing me to join their gimik... Xie Xie... and See You Next Year!

Everyday is Christmas if you are with her, she will take good care of you just like a mother or sister will do.....
Honestly, I just want to say that I still love the way the Filipinos celebrate Christmas....there is something in Filipinos that was making each holidays truly worth celebrating.....
I just want to qoute one thing here, " Year 2006 had been a year of blessings, and God was great to remind me that in every loss there will be a corresponding gain..." And now we are approaching the end of current year, let's all give thanks and praise that we are given an opportunity to leave and to experience the blessings He continually dispenses to us.....

My Despedida Party in North Park, SJ

December 23, 2006, marked the day of my despedida party given to me by my San Jose family. My flight back to Phils was December 29, but since it will be holiday season, I have decided to make it on the last working day for December. Among those who were present: Kuya Eric, Ate Kris, Erica, Kuya Tonio, Ate Arlene, Ate Jo, Kuya Joseph, JL, Ate Maricel, Charles, and Kuya Froilan's family. Daming kids, sobrang saya.. JL's dance in the tune of Bulaklak, some kids got the chance to sing their favorite nursery rhymes... The food was good also, courtesy of Ate Kris, Ate Arlene and Ate Jo... Bait talaga ng mga ate ko.... Magaganda pa.... Thanks po sa food and for taking care of me when I was still there in SJ. I will never forget the hospitality you've shown me...
Thank You very much again and Hope to See You all Again!
