Super FRIEND'ZZ


Friends that I will not trade for "PEACE, LOVE and UNITY" for all mankind :)

14 years and counting…

But the giggles still felt like we were still little girls, the late night “boys lesson 101”, gossip over people especially girls we don’t like – sometimes with our own J

All the element of the ultimate girl bonding moment except were not “girls” anymore!

I really can’t remember how we all started being friends. Hell! I can’t even remember why I ever got involve with those girls. One moment I my world revolves around my walk man, pen and paper on an empty classroom – the next I was constantly having lunch, dinner and spending all my in between times with them.

Its not that I’m complaining or anything its just felt weird on my part that time because if my old classmates were to have a poll on “ who is the most hate “ my name would probably be on number 2 if not number 1 (haha).

Perfectly imperfect





In life we really don’t get to choose what we really like. We must work hard for them, but having friends like mine don’t need a lot work and effort (diba Jelle?).

Then and Now...

I remember someone telling me one time that we all looked good together that she kind of envy what we have  that ours was like the “perfect friendship”.

Perfect daw oh!

My reply was all caps, violent “HINDI KAYA!”

Because we all have our shares of fights (diba Katie?), ka palstikan (diba Nina?), ka damutan, we bitch about each other a lot, and I’m sure all of us lied with one another at some point (ayoko na mag mention ng name haha!). So no, ours was definitely far from being PERFECT.

Anyway, who wants perfect when I can have the REAL one.

Soul Sisters
God has indeed blessed me for giving me these people. I could never imagine spending my awkward adolescent up to my present without them.

Our favorite activity - MAKE UP and KIKAY stuff
They helped  me see things in better perspective, made me see the goodness in people at the same time understand why some are not.

We might not see each other as often as we wanted to these days (Cehl is in Australia with hubby and kids, Katie is busy with the family life also, Van is well Van the ever MIA with her daughters and Nina – will have to check her schedule to accommodate us) except for manet and jelle but we still manage to nag (about love  and life) and bug (with favors and errands) each other at times.




“I see seven old ladies giggling over tea 14 years from now…”






Love you girls and yes I know "WE ROCKS!"

Cant really wait for Christmas to come… SEE YOU ALL! :) xoxo

"rearranging priorities"

Confused... Irritated... 

Happy... Excited...

They said that opportunities knocks only once. True. I'm just not sure if I wanted "that" to knock on mine. I know I don't sound practical. In denial even, because I know it will happen sooner or later  and stalling maybe won't work this time (or i will never hear the end of it).

I was like 50% happy to explore the "unknown" and 50% reluctant to leave my comfort zone. I like where I am now. But i know I couldn't argue with that because "practicality" will always win. And its selfish to think only of myself when I have other responsibilities. I also know that I'm being difficult when they only want whats best for me. 

Sure they said its will always be my call but why does it feel like the choice will not be mine to make?( and why does this entry feels like me reasoning out to myself???).

Growing up really sucks sometimes. 

But we all need to do what we have to do.

Mood: Cofused, Excited (sort of), Resigned...
Song: Dare you to move

Kaladkarin: Puting Buhangin + Borawan +Dampalitan Beach = New Friends

I was bitter for not being able to attend the SFC Icon in Bohol, where almost all of my "Sis" attended because my work wouldn't allow me to take a leave for 3 days...

It didn't help that my ever "sensitive" friends never failed to update me of their happenings (hindi ko alam if gusto lang nila i-share yung experience or talagang nang iingit lang...) from time to time which made me all the more envious because while  I work  my ass off they were somewhere in Loboc River, Chocolate Hills or in a beach!

I was like determine to enjoy myself comes weekend tho i don't know how...

************************************************************************************************************

Feng,  my very good college friend who also lives "three tumbling's" away asked if I wanted to join her with some friends for a whole day get away   - Alas! the answer to my bitterness. And being the KALADKARIN that I am I said GO! :)

They said we were going somewhere in Quezon to Island Hop.

Left home at around 3am - Meet the friends Regie, Ey, Joy & Eric. Alabang bound to meet Husband and wife Cat & Joseph. Arrived at Lucena Grand Terminal around 7 or 8am (I think) then took the bus bound  to Unisan. Then to Aplaya - the jump off point.

Travel time took longer  than I expected - that I  blame the "Bus" going to Unisan ( we didn't know that there's a van that can take us straight to Aplaya) who seems to be going 15kph. Plus the weather seems to be on and off sun and rain.

Rain, rain Go Away!!! We want to enjoy the Beach and Play! 


1st Stop: PUTING BUHANGIN and KWEBANG LAMPAS

Im in love!

Tho I already seen some pictures in Google, Still I never expected I would find a beach as wonderful and as captivating. Surely the pictures didn't do much justice. My worries about  the rain clouds suddenly went out of the window.

There were already some tourist when we arrive on the Island. Entrance fee is Php.50.00 (used in maintaining the island according to the Caretaker). There are also cottages available for rent for Php. 500.00.


Kwebang Lampas 


The shore is very clean with its fine white sand. Another thing I really like about this place is the clear - turqoise colored and steady water which is perfect if one would want to really go for a swim. Which I did! :)

*** Sad Fact: Along with the fast rising popularity of the place some tourist can't seem to help but "carve" their memories inside the cave... Hence, the Vandalism :(
