Lake Pandin






Pangarap ko ang libutin ang buong mundo. Pumunta sa iba't ibang lugar. Makilala ang iba't ibang tao. At malaman ang iba't ibang kultura. Masyadong malawak at mahirap na pangarap pero... libre naman 'to sabi nila, at malay mo magawa ko. Basta ang mag-tour ay isa sa mga BUCKET LIST ko. Pero, para mas maging makatotohanan ang plano kong ito sa buhay, mas gusto kong mag simula sa pinakasimple. Ang libutin ang bayan ko. Ang bayan ng pitong lawa... San Pablo City dito sa Laguna. Syempre mas mabuti na yung alam ko ang pasikot sikot at kasuluk sulukan ng lugar na ito bago ko naman puntahan ang iba. At dahil nga kilala ang aming lugar sa 7 lawa, e natural kailangang alam ko kung san saan, at anu ano ang mga lawang iyon.

Sampaloc Lake ang pinaka sikat at pinaka malaki sa lahat ng lawa dito. Alam ito ng lahat ng taga San Pablo kasi makikita lang ito mismo sa bayan. Mantakin mong halos ilang metro lamang ito sa aming City Hall. Pero,ang catch dito e,.. yung anim na natitira pang lawa sa San Pablo. Kasi marami ang taga rito na hindi alam at hindi pa napupuntahan ang lahat ng lawa katulad ko na lang.

Kasabay ng birthday celebration ng barkada namin, isinabay na rin ang Lake hopping. At ang first stop.... Lake Pandin.....

Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo...

My dear friend got married last June 22... At excited kaming lahat sa barkada kasi sya yung first na church wedding sa group. At syempre,.. double the fun and excitement kasi FIRST time ko ata na maging abay sa kasal. hehehe...




Actually, wala talagang preparations para dito. Nakareceive lang ako ng text sa kanya mga May 29th or 30th na ata yun. At sabi nga abay ako sa kasal nya sa 22. Reply ko pa nun..."kelang 22? this June?" At yun na nga... June na,.. at imagine naman na gaano ka-stressful maghanap ng damit, shoes at kung anik anik... Lahat hindi ready, even yung ikakasal dahil plan talaga nila ay civil lang. Umuwi lang kasi yung hubby nya which is Marke para ayusin ang mga papers ng anak nila for Canada. Medyo alanganin din yung date so, lahat kami leave sa work for this special day of a friend. And it is all worth it naman. So,. eto na nga... Cord Sponsor daw ako... ngek.. may partner?!? Request ko agad,.. pede ba matangkad din partner ko para hindi naman awkward pag naglakad na kami. hahaha.... In the end si Casao ang partner ko. Weh! Love team for life... hehehe...







The Bride & Me

Hindi naman halata na ngarag kami for couple of weeks dahil as preparation. Ilang beses din nag meeting kaming mga girls para sa dresses namin and.... VOILA! Coordinated naman kaming lahat.



Everything turn out very well naman... As in! Super saya kahit super simple...Suprisingly na naiyak ang Astig na Groom! hehehe,.. nabaliwala ang piercing and tatoos... ( how sweet ) That means na LOVE nya talaga ang friend namin. I hope na maging happy sila forever.



Naging semi reunion na din kasi namin yung magkakabarkada. Sobrang saya hanggang kinabuksan sa work may mga hang over pa kami ng kung anung nangyari. Kaya nag plan ule kami ng next kita kits....

Occasions Galore

It's August... and no doubt... next month is the start of the BER months,... meaning... there's so many things to do ( again ). And therefore,. I am still busy doing a lot of stuffs. On the 24th of this month, we'll be celebrating the 78th birthday of my Lola. Probably, we'll visit here tomb and gave her flowers. But I have this idea that maybe we should also include giving balloons too. Anyway, it's her birthday. I am still thinking of the perfect design / concept for it.





Then, when the BER months arrive. I need to somehow start my Christmas shopping... I have my list as early as June. And the names are keep on coming. Crap! I have to save a lot of money ( therefore ) Sigh...






But before Christmas... Halloween is also getting near. Yikes! As a kid, I am always fascinated on Halloween Stuffs. They are really great creepy creatures that's why I always make sure to have this Halloween ambiance at home. ( That's another part of my goal )






I hope I can make things happen according to my plans... How I wish! And then nest year mom will be celebrating her 50th birthday. And as I gift,... we're gonna throw a party for her... Actually, as early as today we're working on it.





I am excited with a lot of stuffs happening and going to happen. I hope I can still update my blog about it,... For now,. gotta go and work on it... CHEERS!
