2014 beachin' in Paradise

It was around 6:30 in the morning when I got a call that my workmates are in the beach in my island. It took me about 5 minutes to change my mind countless times whether I'd hang out or not. It's Labor Day and I can just spend the entire day laying in my bed and spare my skin from the scourging sun. But then I found myself packing whatever in my bag and off I go to the beach.

 

 

 

NEW ORBIT

So it's been a while since I've typed in words into this blog. Much happened and I'd rather not disclose it now - not yet. I have decided not to write about the things that would make me sad - things that would make me return to events that I am still coping off >_< Although I can afford casual conversations once in every while but my "walls" are trembling and it's shaky so I won't test it - not now.

This should be a happy place - a happy blog! Yes to that!

So...

I wake up one day and it's already 2014!!! So for today I decided to list out any thing that is new.

1. New HP laptop from work ^_^ Dude, windows8 is creepy! hehe
2. New 1 GB WD hard disk. I got it with a very good deal - thank you to connections!
3. New Bath & Body Works scents. Thank you PHL boss! Now I smell like a girl hahaha
4. Incentive - I should keep myself mum about it :)
5. Finished a book - Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell. I promise to write a review on it - pinky swear!
6. 4 adorable puppies. Soon, I am bidding goodbye to those babies :_(
7. Team Badminton tournament - our team got a straight of 3 losing streaks. Hahaha


I think that's pretty much about it. I guess.

  

 

 

RIOT [post] birthday celebration

Just a few weeks after our barkada had a gathering in the beach, an  occasion called for second time around to hangout. It was Lester's post-birthday celebration.

Honestly, nabitin lang kami nung huli kaya isa pang pagtitipon - bakit hindi!

  

Na-miss kita Gerald!!! Ang leading man ng barkada.

 

 

10,20,30,40+ years from now...we'd still look great in pictures Les.

Credits to the famous "THROWBACK THURSDAY" paandar ng mga social networking. After posting series of old barkada pictures we all realized how we missed those good old days we share. 

We haven't gathered for quite some time so with just a text message we all decided to meet up last month. Finally!

And of course where else would we gather - in the BEACH baby!!!

Unlike previous gatherings, this time around most of the barkada came. 

Paulit-ulit man ang mga kwento - ang saya pa din! It was past 2am when boyfie & I decided to call it a night. Besides I had enough tequila shots hehe :)

Bottom line is it was a fun night with friends!

Back in the days when all I knew was school :)

It was cool to be smart and get all the attention & acknowledgment.

All this shiny medals used to flaunt in our walls but I decided to take them down and keep them in a box along with ribbons, certificates, and plaques.

I've moved on. No need to remind myself of what I have achieved.

A teacher of mine has left me this unforgettable message that I have instilled in my mind - "CHARACTER OVER WEIGHS INTELLIGENCE".
My brain cells can still keep up nowadays but they are stubborn. Hehe

Awards that are close to my heart. Left medal was from a poster & slogan making competition in our city where I won 1st place. Right medal was from a landscaping competition of our city also - we ranked 2nd.
