When I was promoted as a Trainer, the job didn't actually come with a handbook so I pretty much didn't have any idea what what my gains and misses would be. Apparently, there are more cons than pros and sad to say I only realized that now. But anyway, let me just tell you about our team building during the summer. Everything happened...
I don't see the point of late blog or album posts but since I have one right now that dates back to the Holy Week, It'll somehow have a point. Let's see, uhm, the photos perhaps? Yes, that's it! I'm photodumping here from my Holy Week 2011 album plus some words and captions to go with it. That way, it'll look like a...
Since I spent a good 4 years and 2 months in Baguio, when I go there I try to opt for food stalls/restos that I haven't tried before when I was still a student. I know I have a ton of places to go to, that's why Baguio and I will always meet again. But so far, let's wee the places I frequent...
I remember a couple of months ago, we had this top talent thing at work. Of course I was a newbie at our department so I had no idea was it was all about. I was just there innocently clapping my hands whenever someone's name was called. But anyhoo, I'm going to tell you about the place where we had the small event...
Updates! Updates! My mind is so rusty, instead of composing updates of what I did last month, I'd rather stay in bed and cuddle with my hotdog pillow. My weekend is almost over and I haven't done anything productive! Gaaah, this is bad. The weather is bad, it's keeping me tied to my bed. Ugh. Almost a month ago before we planned my birthday celebration...
I hate this feeling. Who wouldn’t? Every time I get into this kind of situation, it makes me want to puke. Throw up everything that I’ve eaten and everything else in between. I know trust should be one of the fundamental ingredients in a relationship along with love and whatever else you have in mind, but, it’s one of the hardest to acquire/maintain/keep...
I actually have to prioritize this post because this event happened in April but I was too excited to tell you guys about my birthday I forgot about it. Silly me. Last April, just like we always do, the University of the Philippines-Baguio Mountaineers had its annual Run for Trails event. The Run for Trails is a non profit activity that aims to introduce...
After being on hiatus for almost a month, I've decided it's time to come back because I simply miss blogging and I haven't updated my blog for the longest time. Wait, not really because last year I had a hiatus which lasted for 7 mos or so., can't remember but it's longer. So, moving forward, I have a lot of stories to tell!...
Last week, we had Dan's post birthday celebration at Banapple, exactly a month after his actual birthday. The last time I saw Dan and CG was during our LOB's team building, and since I got up a notch from the ladder, seeing them everyday seems a bit unlikely. Good thing we had a sort of pinky promise to still see each other once or...
I was browsing through Tumblr when I saw this lovely pair of open-toed pumps. I know there's a small chance it'll be available here in the Phils, but there' a bigger chance that there's totally something that looked like it. So, I was wooing bunny to buy me a pair as a post-anniversary gift. We celebrated our anniversary last December, too late I...
As my former LOB (line of business) started to face a lot of challenges, my promotion also was in the works so even if the LOB was in a critical situation, I had to leave. It was sad thinking I owe a lot to the LOB, I learned everything there. I would've wished to just be transferred to the same Account but God...
I'm supposed to be blogging about the food strip at Maginhawa St. but since I wasn't able to take a lot of photos when we went there, I'll blog about the dinner instead. Last Tuesday Paul, Len and I decided to have a food trip at Maginhawa St. We agreed upon things on Twitter and Boj decided to tag along as well. We were...
Have you ever tried to visit Baguio on a February? I suggest you don't if you're a bit claustrophobic. But if you really want to see the Annual Float Parade and is fine with crowded places, then go ahead. I wouldn't stop you because Baguio is just too lovely even with the influx of people during February, or summer for that matter. But I guess...
If I remember it correctly, I started joining a lot of contests mid-February as a part of the 22 things I want to do before I turn 22. The thing with me is that I join a lot of contests but I rarely win anything. I mean, just the fact that you'll be able to win something that you didn't pay for is...
Breakfast is one of the most substantial meal of the day. My dinner is technically breakfast. So I don't really know if I'll say I love dinner or breakfast. But basically, I want to say I love breakfasts! We frequent eat-all-you-can restos because we are what you call stress eaters(?). We eat stress out. No kidding, we eat to eliminate stress, then purge it after....
I love Baguio. It shouldn't come as a surprise by now because I talk about it all the time and I try to compare everything with Baguio.This is one of those days where I consider going up there to look for a decent job that will allow me to stay forever. But for now, a list of things and reasons why you'd love...
When you write something down or blog about it whichever way is more comfortable, I do feel like the universe really conspire and make things happen. But well that is just my thought so far because things have been going pretty good. Ha, at last! Anyway, after almost 2(?) grueling months, I'm finally assuming my position--for the promotion that is. You may have forgotten about that because I...
I love to eat. Last Valentine's day I had the luxury to omit some food I shouldn't be eating because of my diet. And yes, I commit to my diet intermittently. Whenever I'm really stressed out or hungry, I forget about it. But when I'm all okay, schedule has been followed, I'm tight with it. My sister Polly share the same attitude. Whenever she's stressed...
Hun and I agreed to sit out Valentine's day. I mean, it's such a cliche and it's everywhere as if it's the only day you can tell someone you love them. I kind of disagree with that philosophy. It's better if you treat everyday as a special day to tell your loved one that he or she is important and loved. Right? Anyhoo,...
First off, Happy Valentine's Day! How's your day so far? I've got no special plans for today for we had our 'date' last weekend. Right after my shift, I met with Hun so we can go to Pampanga together. Arrived there around lunch, Mom prepared a sumptuous meal for us! We had crabs, lobsters and Sinigang (no photos though, I was starving!) Had...
I'm the eldest in a brood of four pretty girls. Being the one, I feel like I have the responsibility to be a good role model to my sisters, a thing which I have failed to do so in the past. I think now is the perfect time to make up for it. I'm trying hard to reconnect and bond with my sisters...
Last year, I'm proud to say I was able to control sudden impulses of purchasing things I don't really need. I have learned how my mind works and acts so basically I just have to trick it a little to cooperate. Okay, weirdo in the house. Anyway, yes I was able to save a small amount from my gross earning of P***, 000.000!...
Upon being employed by my capitalist company, I have since forgotten how to prettify and organize my things. I always have been almost late for work, or have some more work to do when I think of organizing my things. But last December, I though I'd get it over and done with and once and for all clean up and organize my things....
I missed doing outfit posts! I had pretty cute and snuggly outfits for the past month that I have failed to post, but will surely wear again for me to share. Remember that bandage dress from Divisoria? Well, I was shit out of luck last Christmas eve and I had nothing to wear during the mass. Well I know it was pretty revealing, so...
I was supposed to post this ages ago, but oh well. I'm always fashionably late. I'd still want to share with you what I've had for my family. I shopped at Greenhills because the malls are too expensive for me, I can get my money's worth at Divisoria, but hell knows the money I'll lose out of snatchers and pickpockets is going to...
The Outtake Okay, I don't know got to start because I've been inactive for quite sometime. Personal issues and new year blahs. Let me tell you about my new year first. It was the traditional celebration with the family, as an employee working for a "global" company, we weren't entitled to any of the holidays. I was on leave for Christmas though and...
