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 park trails as an alternative to concrete roads for running and walking. It also hopes to promote the concept or trail systems within the city as conducive for physical, recreational and educational activities such as running, walking and bird watching.

Moving to Manila prohibited me from attending the past Trail runs, as we call it, for the past 2 years. But I wasn't ready to let go of it, so I prepared for it this year. I applied for my leave and was all set to conquer the mountains! Well, it's not as if I'm going to join because I'm too old for that, I wanted to attend the event so I can help them organize it. When I was still a student and a resident of Baguio, I felt like the amount of commitment I have given to the organization wasn't at all enough so I'm making up for it now.

When you decide to help, your main task would either be under the registration, the water stations or the posts. I was always designated to take care of a specific post so that's what I asked for when I got there. We were supposed to meet at around 4am, imagine the crisp cold wind at that time, then go to our respective posts. I was wearing shorts. DAFUQ, man. I didn't have anything else with me, I had a skirt and a dress so I opted for the shorts instead. 

I wouldn't go much into details for that would bore you if you weren't exactly there to feel how fun it is to be awake in Baguio at 4am, drinking coffee and eating pandesal while you can see the air come out of your mouth while you speak. I'll let you feel the event through the photos! 

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.

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 twice a month, and a better thing is that it's materializing. You know, it's not one of those pinky promises that gets buried six feet under. I love these guys, it's with them that I feel not only like a princess, but that I'm not a corporate monkey after all.

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 know, but still manageable as a gift, right? Hahaha!

Before everything went under control, I had to make tampo so I can convince him to buy me a pair and---

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 knows how my productivity and efficiency will be since a lot of people there know how to "help" newbies, if you know what I mean.

So apparently, our manager also had plans of moving on but I better not discuss that anymore. In lieu with that, we planned a team building,/going away/reunion party. That is too strengthen the team's bond given the kind of challenges they're faced with right now. This happened last week, the rest--its history!

I miss them, it's fine that I got re-assigned to a different site it's just that, not seeing them on a daily basis and not talking to them during break time feels weird.
