No doc, I Can't Say AHHHHHHH.

I have a mouthsore. I have a monstrous mouthsore! I swear ang laki talaga! At sobrang sakit!

At dahil dun, I'm on a forced diet dahil effort ngumanga! Effort din ngumuya. At sobrang sakit pag nalalagyan ng rice yung singaw!

Bumili na ko ng Betadine gargle. Nagmumumog na din ako ng warm water na may asin. Lagi din ako sa clinic para magpapahid nung gamot na sobrang hapdi. Pero hindi naman lumiliit yung sore!

Ang arte ko din magshalita kashe di ke nge mashedong mabuke yung mouth ke.

Sabi nung nurse, kulang daw ako sa Vitamin C, so magtake daw ako ng 1000mg para mas mabilis gumaling. Tinanong ko kung gano katagal usually tumatagal yung mga ganitong singaw. 1-2 weeks daw!

Pakshet! So ibig sabihin, 1.5 weeks pa akong hindi makakakain ng mabuti. 1.5 weeks pa kong nde makakapagsalita ng maayos. At higit sa pakshet na lahat, 1.5 weeks din na nde ko pwede ichuva si Jimboi! Parusa ito, parusa!!!! I hate it!

Theirstory continues - and now the end is near

Fiona could only be too happy with all of Jimboi’s time and attention. She could feel him caring for her. She could feel her falling hard for him. But can all of this really be?

Princhecha Fiona could not believe that the stars made her wish come true. She need not dream no more, need not feel jealous when she sees lovers acting sweety-loverish.

Her very own prince charming. In real life. Finally.

Though the prince, being tough and all, wished that their relationship be kept a secret at first. Princhecha didn't care at all if it was to be a clandestine affair. Afterall, what could she ask for? They were lovers, doing what lovers do- dates, dinners and what-have-yous. Who cares if the world wouldn't know of the love happening between the prince and her?

But as they say, secrets don't remain secrets for long. The people of Far, Far Away began noticing the something between the two. Who wouldn't notice the magic in their eyes when they look at each other? Add to the fact that they were always together.

One day, Princess Hakira borrowed Prince Jimboi's phone on the pretext of tinkering with it. She was just really trying to confirm all their suspicions. And she did when she found a message from Fiona that read "I love you." With that, the secret was out to the circle. Prince Jimboi never spoke to Hakira again.

Fiona didn't mind that the relationship was known but she asked that the knowledge of the relationship be kept within the circle explaining Prince Jimboi's issues and concerns.

But Princhecha still did not disclose their relationship to her closest friends. Until one day, in a party, Prince Jimboi decided to reveal the relationship to all of Fiona's friends much to their delight (and shock - they couldn't believe that Fiona was able to hold something like this from them that long) .

The sweet and lovely years would stroll along.

And like in fairytales, the story wouldn't be complete without the usual sinister characters. For one, there is the wicked troll of the north, Flerryda, who fell for Jimboi. And who asked the prince: "Are you sure you're the only guy in her life? I mean look at her, she is a princhecha. I'm certain she has played around" and "I will never go out with the likes of princhecha. Well maybe I would if I drank a barrel of alcohol first" and "I am not sure of me and my partner's future together. How about you? Are you breaking up with Fiona anytime soon?". He even went on to give Jimboi an apple laced with potion so he could get what he wants from him. Albeit with tears and drama, these dark chapters soon came to pass.

But unlike in fairytales, this one would not end with "and they live happily ever after."


For this is no fairytale.





(To her wishes, I would let Princhecha Fiona finish recounting theirstory. The last and final chapter of the tale you would hear in her voice. You all have been very good audience, thank you very much.)

38:42

Yesterday I wore a singlet, put on a pair of running shoes and sported a short shorts. Because yesterday I ran my first race. Oh yes, I am a runner now!

I was expecting to complete the whole 5km route in an hour but I did it in 38mins and 42 sec. Well, that is according to my timer for the official results posted added 10mins to my "official" time.

Finishing within the third quartile (and not collapsing in the middle of the race), I think I did not do so bad. Especially for a first timer. Especially for a first timer who has no sleep prior the race. (Much as I want to sleep the night before the race, I couldn't. And nope, it wasn't because I was excited. not entirely. I normally sleep at around 4-5am. The race was at 6am so I didn't even get forty winks.)

In fact I think I did a bit good. I wasn't fit. I had little to no preparation. But I still managed to finish ahead of some tall, muscular, hunky guys. So I say great job Fiona!

And I never knew there were a lot of cute runners! Oh my goodness there were a couple of eye candies! In fact I was running side by side with one but a quarter within the race he started pacing fast I couldn't keep up and all I could say (in my mind of course) was "Bye hun, catch you later at the finish line."

I would certainly be running again. Hopefully next time with some sleep, a little more training and a shorter shorts! (And without the anti-climactic finish and the incorrect race time.)



p.s.
I'll leave the medals to seasoned runners. I'm not running to win (coz I know I can't, try as I may). I'd just race for the fun of it, and definitely for the cute guys. :)
Ready, Set, Run!

Baby, I Want One Too!

Lately, I'm crushing on hot daddies na may karga-kargang babies.

Pati na din yung may mga tulaktulak na stroller.

Basta may kasamang baby, hot! :) Hehe

Ewan pero parang bigla na lang naging appealing sila sa tingin ko. Ang cute lang tignan, nakakadagdag sa macho factor. Basta, hindi ko maexplain pero parang may added astigin factor pag may bitbit na baby.



Kamakailan lang din ay isinilang ang first ever prinsesita ng barkada! Ang cute-cute! Buti na lang nagmana sa kanyang Tita Fiona! :p I bet beauty queen-model din sya paglaki nya! Hihihihi



At nung isang araw, nanonood kami ng TV ni Jimboi nang may mga nafeature na mga babies! :)

Sabi nya, "Ang cute-cute naman! Parang gusto ko na din magkababy!"

Sabi ko naman, "I want one too!!! Ready ka na ba? Ano, ititigil ko na ba ang pagtake ng pills?"

Nung gabi ding yun, nitry nga namin gumawa ng baby. Di ko lang sure kung gano pa kami katagal magtatry!

Boy That's Weird

I got tagged by Mugen. The rules are: This game starts with 6 weird things about you. People who got tagged need to write a blog entry of their own 6 weird things. They should state this rule clearly as well. At the end of the list, tag 6 people. Don't forget to inform each newly-tagged person by posting a comment on his/her own blog.

Since I don't consider myself weird I'm having a rather difficult time thinking what to write. (Yeah right! Actually, I'm having difficulty which six among the 100-weird-things-about-me I should include here. hahaha)

Here goes:

1. I love reading things most people don't even care about- labels, instructions, notices, warranties, receipts, manuals (oh I love reading manuals!!!) - everything! Fine prints and all.

2. I arrange paper bills on my wallet according to value and each "face" faces the same side.

3. I couldn't sleep without the electric fan on - even if it there's a storm. I'd have it on even if I am shaking with cold and am wrapped in blanket!

4. Sometimes when I am walking, I count my steps. Or if there are tile patterns, I'd secretly play step-no-step-yes. Or sometimes I play follow the line (stepping on/following the cracks or lines on the floor/road. Silly, I know but hey it's fun to be a child sometimes!

5. I love to sing but I really find it hard to memorize the lyrics. So much for auditioning for PDA or Idol. When I want to sing along with what's playing, I use google. If a computer is not available, then I just hum silently the parts I don't know then sing out loud the parts that I do know (usually the chorus hahaha). But I don't like "inventing" my own lyrics (and hate it when I hear people do. hihihi).

6. I tend to notice a lot of the things that are happening around me. It's not my intention to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, say in a restaurant or in puvs or in the mall, but I usually pick up what they're talking about even if I am in a conversation with someone. I don't really intend to listen in, but I do hear. (Oh, I'm such a chismosa.)





(I'm not tagging anyone but people, feel free to share your weirdness! It's good to know that some other individuals are in one way or another odd too!)

Two days of silence...


The sibuyas was found, two weeks after being lost, and the recipe is complete again.

Out of town ulit

I'm off to Subic tomorrow. Yoohoo! Much needed break from work stuff.

I'll bring pasalubong! ahihihi




xs

I hate myself this week. I don't know why but seems I somehow lost focus. I hate inaccurate reports, much more one coming from me. Oh life. Lesson relearned: always double check your data before sending out to your client.

Sa tarayan ng dalawang mataray, round six, ang princhecha ang luzvaldez dahel sya ang may mali. Syet!

Dalawang Mukha ng Gaylove

Sabado, tanghali
sa isang noontime show


May girlfriend?
Dalawa po eh. hahaha. Isang babae, isang lalake.
Hahahaha. Cge batiin mo na yung mga karelasyon mo.
Hi Jam.
Yung babae yun?
Opo.
Anong gusto mo sabihin sa kanya?
I love you!
Eh sa isa.
Hi Rommel. Kahit wala tayong pera, ok lang yun.
Alam ba ng girlfriend mo na may isa pa?
Hindi.
Pano na yan?
Eh bahala na si batman.
Anong sasabihin mo sa kanya pag nalaman nya to.
Bahala na sya kung pano.
Eh kung papapilin ka, sino pipilin mo?
Si Rommel po, kasi matagal ko na s'ya nakasama eh.



Sa parehong Sabado, hapon
sa isang fastfood chain


Ang hirap humanap kaya ng trabaho.
Gusto mo madali? Humanap ka na lang ng bakla.
Gagu.
Hahaha. Oo kaya. Madali lang di ba, kung kaya mong masikmura yun.
Ulol.
Hahaha. Oo, syotain mo lang, pachupa ka, tas hingan mo lang ng pera! Si Bam, syotain mo.
Gagu, eh wala din namang pera yun, baka makihati pa yun sa baon ko!
Hahaha, tanga, ba't mo naman bibigyan! Dapat yung mga bakla yung magbibigay sa'yo!

Autoless at labu-labong mga ideyang dulot ng 24 oras na paglagi sa opisina

Sa susunod na buwan, iuuwi ni Jimboi ang kotse sa probinsya. Namamahalan na sya masyado sa presyo ng gasolina, na tinataya ng mga eksperto na aabot pa ng P65! Idagdag pa ang bayad sa parking na kapag sinuma mo eh magkano din.

Naisip ko, kung kami ni Jimboi na nde pamilyado at masasabi mo namang may magandang trabaho ay ramdam na ramdam ang hirap ng buhay sa Pilipinas, paano pa kaya yung mga karaniwang mangagagawa na bumubuhay ng limang tao?

Nakakamanghang isipin kung paano nila napagkakasya ang kakarampot na sweldong napagiiwanan sa kangkungan ng mabilis na pagtaas ng presyo ng bilihin at kung paano ito hahatiin ng sapat sa pagitan ng pagkain, kuryente, tubig, edukasyon ng anak, gamot kung may sakit, pamasahe, at kung ano pang gastusin. Kakaibang imahinasyon, pagkamalikhain at pagkamaparaan ang ginagamit upang matugunan ang mga pangunahing pangangailangan at mairaos ang pangaraw-araw na pamumuhay. Kung may patimpalak na pagalingang magbudget, malamang sa malamang na ang panalo ay isang Pinoy.

Sa papahirap na papahirap na kalagayan ng estado ng buhay, ano ba ang nararapat gawin? Tipirin pang lalo ang salat na salat ng pitaka ni Nena/Juan? Hanggang kelan tayo magtitiis at makakatiis mamaluktot sa umiiksing kumot?

Sa totoo lang hindi ko din alam.

--------------------------------------

Sa kabila ng nararamdamang kahirapan, kapansin pansin naman ang pagdami ng mga malls at iba pang lugar pasyalan sa loob at labas ng lungsod. At ang pagdagsa ng mga taong tumatangkilik sa mga ito.

Marahil ay ginagamit itong daan upang takasan ang realidad ng hirap ng buhay. Marahil ay sawa na ang mga tao sa dramang dulot ng mga personal nilang problema, dagdagan pa ng sirkus sa gobyerno. Maaaring pinipili nilang makaranas ng kapirasong karangyaang nararamdaman nila sa tuwing naglalakad sila sa malalamig na gusali nila Sy at Ayala at napapaligiran sila ng mga mararangyang bagay. Maaaring sa puso ng mga malls, nakukuntento na sila sa pagtingin-tingin at pangangarap. Minsan, masarap magpanggap na wala kang problema at ang lahat ay maayos at matiwasay.

--------------------------------------

Malapit na ang Araw ng Kalayaan ngunit naiisip ko kung may relevance pa ba ang araw na ito? Ayaw ko namang maliitin at ipagwalang halaga ang mga buhay na nabuwis upang madeklara ang "kalayaan" ng Pilipinas ngunit tayo ba ay malaya na talaga?

Sa aking palagay ay hindi pa sapagkat tayo ay natatali pa sa maraming bagay. Nakikiapid pa din tayo sa kahirapan.Nakagapos pa din tayo sa impluwensya ng mga dayuhan. Hindi pa din tayo nakakatakas sa hawla ng bulok na sistema at kurap na mga opisyal. Nadodominahan pa din tayo ng mga patakaran ng iilan. Ang mga bibig natin ay binubusalan. Ang mga kamay natin ay nakakadena pa din. Pati utak natin ay nananatiling bihag ng mga taong nakabaro't saya, nakasutana o naka kurbata.

Ang pagiging malaya ay higit pa sa pagdedeklarang may bagong panganak na republika.

Ano ang laman ng chinese thingie? A gift hunting activity.

Naisip kong gawan si Jimboi ng mini treasure hunt of sort dahil mahilig naman sya sa mga ganun. Ang laman ng box? Singsing? Yan din ang inaasahan kong maging hula ni Jimboi nung ibigay ko sa kanya yan.

Pero ang tunay na laman ng kahon: susi ng cabinet namin. Kailangan nyang subukan kung alin sa apat na pinto ang kayang buksan ng susi.



Sa loob ng cabinet, may note: "Look inside our treasure chest upstairs." na nakalagay dito:



Patakbo pa syang pumanik sa taas at dumeretso sa plastic chest na lagayan namin ng mga libro. Natatawa ako habang naghahalungkat syang parang basurero. Nang wala syang makita, nangiti sya at lumapit sa bago naming juvenile cabinet. Akala nya ang next clue na ang mahahanap nya dito. Ngunit pagbukas nya, ito ang nakasabit sa loob:



Tanong nya, pano ko bubuksan to? Sagot ko, sirain mo yung running stitch. Napangiti sya sabay sabing parang alam ko na ang laman nito.


Ano nga kaya ang laman ng chinese-chinese shirt?


+/-

Wedding bands itu? hahaha. Yez, dahil echosera ako, feeling ko lang ikakasal na kami! Walang pakialaman ng gift ng may gift! Inferness, pinageffortan ko to! ahihihihih

At syempre hindi maaaring wala ang dear ate charo letter na nasa loob din nung chinese thingie.

Habilin ko sa kanya, kahit magbreak na tayo, wag mo to isasanla ha? hahahahahahaha

Pigs

Pigs are pigs regardless of form, age, sex, color, size, educational attainment.

But what sent my eyebrows flying skyhigh is this pig who is literally a pig! Dude, come on (eyes rolling)! Where would you even get that idea? Why do you have to stare at me like I'm an alien or something? You disgusted by my presence? And you think I am not by yours?

I'm sorry but I am not a cannibal - I don't eat my own.

And who do you think you are? In a room full of eye candy, would I choose a porkchop? You got to be kidding me. I didn't know pigs can be funny too.

HBDJ!

Jimboi turned another year older and since we are feeling a little Sam&Piolo-ish we decided to celebrate the night with a buffet dinner in Spiral at Sofitel. (Goodluck to my midyear resolution!) It was unfortunate though that my head decided to ache so I couldn't enjoy the evening as much as I would want to.

Anyway, since it was a buffet, food was aplenty! I almost got full just by looking at the selection! I coudn't decide what to eat!!! Pig out itu kahit pa masakit ang ulo! Labo-labo na to, lamon kung lamon na parang wala ng bukas! :P

I started with a Korean soup (I don't speak Korean so I don't know how to pronounce what it's called much more to spell it. Pasensya naman!). I liked it so much I consumed 2 bowls. haha. Then Jimboi asked me to try this Chinese soup which he says his mom always cooks for them. I was about to eat the herb thingie that looks like a bark of a tree but Jimboi told me not to. He said it's there to add flavor and has a medicinal property (to cure what, I'll never know) but you're not supposed to eat it. The soup was good but not as great as the Korean one.

Next I stuffed myself with seafood! I got three oysters, two prawns and a crab. Then I got a grilled prawn and some Salmon Teriyaki which I liked much so I got a second serving. hihihi. I also got a small portion of a grilled fish, I don't know what it is called and I didn't bother knowing, I didn't like it.

Then I sampled meat. A little lamb chops, some roasted chicken and peking duck, a portion of meat in red wine sauce, a little piece of grilled meat that I don't know what is but liked, and a bacon wrapped asparagus which I didn't like. Whew! I took some leafy greens and a bundle of buttered asparagus too! But I didn't take any rice save for the two piece california maki.

When I first saw the dessert bar, I was ecstatic! I kept thinking what I'd have, thinking if I'd have a little bit of everything! lol But by the time I finished my meal, yes I still have room for desert that's not the problem, I didn't have the urge to eat sweets anymore because my head was killing me. I wanna cry! All I could manage to have was fresh fruits and a little halo-halo! :(

So I rested for awhile. I looked stupid slumped on the table when everyone else was busy eating and drinking, but oh well. Then when I was feeling a little better, I decided to walk around and take pictures. When I got back, I sat, and then Jimboi went (I thought then for a few more dessert). But when he got back, imagine my surprise when he got me this.

It's not my birthday but his and I get to have a cake? Weird but sweet! He said he just wanted to thank me for being there and for celebrating his birthday with him. I was touched and kilig and all.

Too bad my "real"gift didn't make it in time, but I think it will be worth it. My "not real" gift was a big automatic golf umbrella which I said he should put in the car because rainy season is just around the corner. Not sweet, I know, but that's not the real gift remember!

We got another surprise after the dinner. When the bill arrived, we were given a 15% discount just for being fabulous! :) Great, right? :) So try Spiral out! :) The food was excellent and the service was great! (Plugging again!)

After that we hung out by the pool area (where I slept for about an hour in the lounge chair! haha), then we took some pictures. We were supposed to watch a movie but I was already feeling a big ball in my head so we just headed home.

Then I gave him my second gift (which still isn't the "real" gift by the way) and it was a nice way to cap the night.

Not Your Daily Routine

There's nothing like a shared cyberspace adventure to spice up your lurrveee life a little.

But you do not want it to be an everyday activity or the experience will be jaded.



And don't do it when you know you have a scheduled gym session the morning after... *wink, wink*

Midyear Resolution

I am not a fan of New Year's Resolution because I end up breaking them anyways. Let me try if changing "new" to "mid" would make a difference. So here goes: I, Princhecha Fiona, resolve to live a more active lifestyle.

I know I am a little bit overweight. I have been since I started working. Currently, I am carrying 42 lbs of fat, of which mostly are concentrated in my mid section. I used to not care. Heck, I still don't care that much. But I am beginning to care a little.

I enrolled in a fitness center last week. No, I don't have a ridiculous plan of growing my muscles bouncer big (I have nothing against muscledmen though, my Jimboi has a gymbod, I just don't see me having that!). What I'm aiming for is that I won't live a sedentary lifestyle anymore. And I want to lose my now-big-soon-flat tummy! Hopefully in 12 weeks time, I'll be in my ideal weight already, one pound a week is not that bad!

By signing up in the gym, I am facing my fear of getting the what-is-she-doing-in-the-men's-locker look. But I'm trying to ignore all those and just do my thing. Let the chauvinist pigs think what they want to think, all I know is that I would just want to use the gym facilities for my fitness. I am not there for any other hankypanky business. I woudn't even want to look at their parading naked asses and bulging, ehem, muscles for crying out loud. I'd rather look at my Jimboi noh! :p

Now, I also have to discipline myself not to always take a cab to and from the office. I figured that I'd cut my transpo budget to pay for my gym fee.

Also, I now have to be conscious of what I eat. Hard as it may sound to a sweet tooth as me, I'd have to figure a way to lessen my "unhealthy" food intake. I wouldn't want to put to nothing what I lost in the gym to only gain it back in the table. I'm starting with chocolates, junk food and candies and with my upsized drink habit!

The trainer at the gym asked me, after 6 months of going to the gym, how do you see yourself? My answer: if I don't see this tummy, then I'm happy!

It's not that hard a target right? Wish Fiona luck but I know she can do this! :p

I can already see a healthier me! See you all at the gym!

Ang Grande Island Team Building Episode- Bow! (updated with pics)

"A breathtaking experience of Adventure, Nature and Pleasure in one Island.

Grande Island Resort, an island paradise set amongst acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and chalet houses overlooking the crystal white sands and blue waters. Its unique tropical ambience makes it a perfect getaway for couples celebrating a romantic interlude or a family vacation where kids can enjoy adventure activities.

Grande Island Resort takes away life’s pressure." Ayan, pree flugging fa di ba?

Gaya nga ng nasabi ko last Friday, nagpunta ang team namin sa Grande Island Resort sa Subic. Mabuti na lamang na kahit may bagyo ay hindi umulan habang andun kami. Kaya may tan line akong baon pauwi kahit papano! :)

Tulad ng karamihang litrato sa mga campaign ads, kaaya-aya ang Grande Island nung nakita namin ang kanilang website. Ngunit, datapwat, subalit medyo parang hindi ata ganun yung nakita ko sa totoong buhay. Oh well, siguro dahil unang bumungad sa akin ang shoreless front beach, sumunod, yung man-made lagoon na walang laman.

Tas syempre para tipid yung kinuha naming rooms eh yung pinakamura - yung mga hotel rooms. Pero dahil medyo ngarag ako the past weeks, magchoo-choosyfruitgum pa ba ako sa a bit of R&R davah? Ok na din naman, medyo malaki yung napunta sa aming room. Tas may cable TV naman, may ref, at may hot and cold shower.

Tsaka yung mga chalet rooms nila mukhang magaganda! Double nga lang ang bayad, kaya kebs na. hihihi Wit na choosy pag nagtitipid noh!

Bawal "daw" magdala ng food sa island, kaya syempre no choice kundi dun lang sa restaurant kumain. Pero ok naman, masarap ang food! Sa unang tingin parang medyo mahal, pero sulit na dahil madami naman ang servings! So lamon galore ang ginawa namin dun! Patabaing baboy ang mga bakla, oink, oink! ahihihihi

Kapansin-pansin ang pagiging winnur ng customer service ng mga staff ng island. Mababait at accomodating silang lahat, kaya tatlong bagsak para sa kanila (plak, plak, plak!)!

O sya tama na ang rebyu! Di ko to forte! ahihihi

Kung kapansin-pansin ang pagiging winnur ng customer service, kapansin-pansin ding walang may facevalue sa mga guests ng resort. (Oh well maliban na lang sa amin davah! ahihihihi.) KALURKI! Walang mga cutiepatootie, nasayang ang dala kong two-piece chicken joy! Ok sige may isang cute pero hindi masyado, so not counted! Umaasa pa naman akong may mabighani akong isang boylet at maitakehome ako sa chalet! grrrrr... (naghanda na pa naman ako ng excuse sakaling mawala ako, lech, di ko den nagamit! ahihihihi). So much for cruising, hunting and possible tyrst! ahahaha

(Ay wait, may naalala lang ako, meron naman akong nabighani pala! ahihihihi May kumindat na boylet pala sa akin. Di ko lang alam kung napuwing ba sya o sobrang lasing lang talaga nya! ahihihi, pero at least nakindatan ako. Meaning, maganda ako! Che!)

Syempre hindi lang naman puro pagpapakataba at paglalandi ang ginawa namin dun! Nung pers day ay naghost kaming dalawa ni Maria Abigael ng Tresure Hunt of sort! Effort kung effort, effect kung effect! Lingid sa kaalaman ng aming mga teammates ay "humiram" kami ng mga personal items nila na nakakalat sa mga workstations nila - yun ang ginawa naming treasures! Josko po, sa lawak ng island, 100 pounds ang nawala sa akin pagtago pa lang ng mga trinkets! At syempre kelangan pa naming sundan yung 2 teams habang naghu-hunt sila ng treasure para maibigay namin yung mga susunod na clues!

Challenging yung game physically at mentally! ahihihihihi (Sample: Maroon is the color of the third number clue.) Umiinit na ang ulo ng mga teammates ko sa pagod at nagbabanta na silang bugbugin ako kung di daw ako magbibigay ng clue! ahihihihi. Pero masaya syang laruin! Bukod sa exercise itu, naeenhance pa ang team work! Try nyo to gawin pag may team building kayo, masaya swear! (email nyo ko if you want instructions and effects... ahihihi)

Next team activity, ang walang kamatayang charades! Pero may twist. Imbes na isa lang ang magpapahula, isa lang ang manghuhula. Lahat ng iba pa ay kailangan magact out. Ang topic: movies. At hindi lang basta movies, susme may mga pelikulang pinalabas pa noong 1940's! Naman! Sinubukan talaga ang aming galing sa pagarte! ahihihihi. At syempre pa, team ko ang nanalo! Heller, para san pa ang Best Actress in Portraying a Tree Award ko from the Academy kung hindi kami mananalo noh! At ang iskor, masyadong malapet! ahihihihi 23-9 lang naman! Winnur davah?

Ang huling activity na nilaro namen ay obstacle race with pass the message! Matapos ka pahirapan magtatakbo, maglulundag, magsusumampa at maggagapang ay may-i-pass-the-kwento ka and it goes a little something like this: "Si Aling(hingang malalim)Bakokang na anak ni(hingal, hinga) Lola Bokokang ay labandera(hinga ulit) ni Mang Inggo na may alagang Kingkong"! Effort di ba, kamustahin? Ahihihihi Pero happy-happy! At naman, tinatanong pa ba kung sinong team ang nanalo? Syempre yung team ko ulit! Aanhin ko pa din yung 400m-run-against-toddlers medal ko na nakuha ko nung family day sa office nila papa dati davah!

Tapos nun, relax relax na. Kain kain. Picture picture (favorite part ko to dahil naapply ko ang mga natutunan ko sa ANTM). Swim swim. Kain kain ulit (mas favorite part ko to!). Tas kwento kwento.

Haaaay, matuling lumipas ang tatlong araw. Parang di ko man lnag namalayan, maya-maya lang kelangan na umuwi. Babalik na naman sa busy-busyhang buhay.

Pero keri na, kahit pano nakapagbonding with the team. Nakapagpahinga ng konti (kung pahinga mang matatawag ang treasure hunt at obstacle race)! Nakapagrecharge gutierrez din kahit paano. Para ready na namang mangarag kinabukasan!

Tama nga ang linya sa website. Sa tatlong araw na yun, Grande Island Resort took away life’s pressure, may cute na boylet man o wala! (naks, plugging ulet? kelangan may bayad na to!)

(Thanks kay Gladymae para sa mga pics!)
