These are basically random random photos taken from different places. My friend Krista or Itang to most of us told me over Facebook chat to post photos already cos it’s been a while as everyone knows. So yea, I went through my haul of photos back from Cebu and CDO just to have something for Itang’s little request :-)
Goodnight friends.

Hey hi. It’s really been awhile yea. Been what, five days? I was sick man, until now as a matter of fact. I caught a cold probably from work; waking up at 6 or 6:30 is definitely stressful for a summer break. This whole OJT has got its toll on me apparently. And everything at home has gotten so crazy, renovations are everywhere plus parents barely stay at home. Kid brothers continue being not so cool. That and everything else.
And last Thursday night I went for a quick run at our town’s rotunda-alone-how lonely can I get. I only lasted for 30 minutes cos I was running out of air. I felt good for an hour or so and then felt a massive muscle pain in my thighs the next two days. It’s almost unbearable that yesterday I could barely get out of bed. How about if I tell you I spent 90% of my time at bed yesterday? Yes that also means I didn’t get a shower until night time. Gross I know.
Anyway, lesson learned: don’t go for a jogging or running without warming up. But to my defense, I did warm up but it was only for three minutes or so if you even consider that a warm up.
What else…no outfit photos yea. Ace hasn’t been around until yesterday I don’t know what’s up with that guy. Hey Ace if you’re reading, I heard your voice yesterday, I was at Mom’s room, I fell asleep and when I woke up you already left. Uhm, I also haven’t been taking photos in awhile now because my schedule at work is unbelievable.
Well I guess that’s all for now. I am certainly hoping that things will get better and cooler in the next few days, including my Lola Thelma’s health, guys she’s currently undergoing Chemotherapy and I’m asking for your prayers. Everyone in the family is being strong and optimistic although we kind of know that she’s gonna get through it because she’s a fighter but it’s always better to make sure she’s gonna win. And thank God because she’s slowly recovering this past few days, we’re all hoping it will continue until she’ll totally recover and be in the pink of health again. We love her so much and the family’s in full support but I was thinking that by (finally) telling you this, I would get your support through prayers which will really be a good amount of reinforcement. Thank you so much you all and God bless us! :-)

Photos taken by Ace. Thank you again Ace! I’m certainly not having a hard time post-processing them :-) This was my outfit yesterday. I didn’t have my outfit shot today kasi I’m just in a jeans and a blouse and flats, not so nice because I was running late this morning and I got a wound on my left foot. My friends know how OA I could get if I get a cut or wound. Big or small. I get so OA and maarte and all that “duh” stuff.
Parents are home, yay!
And uhm, well, work continues until next week. How are ye. I miss writing useless random things like this. Hoping you guys would read up to this point.
Yun lang. I hope you had a nice day. I did, because I had two cups of coffee and I got to eat a slice of pizza and I got to eat food from Cebu which, hey, which was exactly what was on my dream last two nights I’m not even kidding.
Uy nga pala, I was being a good daughter two hours ago because I cleaned my parents’ room because Dad told me to do so. I cleaned it very well because they’re from a quiet long travel and they’re so tired and all so I want them to relax better by having a nicer and cleaner bedroom. After spraying an air freshener I told them to get inside their room immediately because I want them to smell the fresh scent right away. Grabe I felt like a chambermaid after the cleaning pero okay lang because they liked it anyway.
I’m telling you this para naman sabihing napaka-bait at napaka-cool kong anak he-he :-)

Happy Mother’s Day Mama Leah!
Thank you for EVERYTHING. I’m talking about everything.
And Happy Mom’s Day to all the Mommies around the world, you are all wonderful!
I love you Mom, like a love song :-)

Photos taken by Ace Callao. Thank you Ace! :-)
Wore this at office today. Nothing much has happened except for a guy who randomly went to me and commented about my entire look, I’m talking about the skirt and the bun, cos I tie my hair at work. I don’t even want to talk about it anymore, I don’t want to be misinterpreted :D
Anyway, I hope you guys had a nice day. How about sharing what happened to you today to your family? Have time to open up with them, trust me, it’s gonna do a lot of good to you and to everybody at home. Share your stories and hear their stories as well.

This might just really be a year-long 20th celebration with all these “pahabol” gifts coming in.
1 - Wedges from Mom. (Look at my blog entry below please thank you)
2 - Twilight, yes TWILIGHT book, from cousin Kristina and a baller with my official official nickname on it.
3 - Satchel from my high school classmate Melinda
4 - A cool shirt, because everything from Artwork is cool, from my debate friend/college friend Reynel
You guyyyys, thank kee! So much, the thought melts my heart. :”)
I’ll take a photo of the other ones I received for my 20th, some are also tagged pahabol. And I’m still waiting for the others to come. Yes, pressure ;-)

Wore this at work today. I should tell you a story about yesterday’s outfit (photo soon). I wore a red top and these shoes for my second day at the office hoping I would stand out. Guess what, employees’ uniform of the day is…red. Did I mention anything about standing out?
HUHU.
Last night I made sure I should look like a boss. Turns out, I look more of a, uhm, anak ng boss. Do they call that an, ehem, heiress? ;-) He-he.
Momma bought the skirt and the shoes for me, by the way. I am saying, she is supportive of my fashion pursuits. #nagmamayabang
Photos taken by my cousin Ace Callao. It’s cool because he’s also into photography. We’re cool. I just said it.
Oh one last story before I end this.
So somebody at work today asked me to join our town fiesta beauty pageant this June, to which I said no. Then she said “You’ll be wearing makeup anyway”.

This feels cathartic. Hehe. Finally done with Cebu. It’s time for my lovely hometown.
How was my OJT in Cebu, you ask. It was awesome. Therefore, this post, will remain as thoughts. I am saying, I’m on the right track baby I was born for this. ;-)
Outfit posts might just be back on track. We shall see.

Hi I have a story, it’s about my adventure going to Tambuli.
I don’t know if you have read my Facebook status that says “I spent this day in an adventurous way.” This was the “day” I was talking about (28 April). I didn’t tell my parents about this adventure beforehand because it’s just so dangerous. Although I know what would my father have on his mind: experience. But for my mother: asdfghjkl. You don’t even want to know it. Hi Mom if you’re reading. :-)
You must know how we only had everything initially planned the night before, though we’ve already thought about going to the beach in the past few days but nothing has really properly discussed upon. We know nothing about Tambuli Beach Resort and we only have Google to rely on with outdated information. But that didn’t stop us to take the adventure.
I was thinking you probably want to know how we went there including the cost. So okay, be my guest.
First we went to Ayala (because we were from Echavez) and took the 20A PUJ going to the Parkmall. We paid nine pesos each. It was a good ten minute ride, approximately. And then from Parkmall, we took a multicab that has the “Bag-o” signage, the security guard told us it means it would cross the new bridge connecting Mandaue or the mainland Cebu to Lapu-Lapu/Mactan, Cebu. It was, I think approximately a 20 or 30 minute ride. We stopped at Savemore Lapu-Lapu and paid nine pesos each again. From Savemore, we took a taxi going to Buyong, Maribago. We paid 152 pesos. You can tell the driver to drop you at the intersection, in our case, we stopped right in front of Bluewater Beach Resort. From there, you should take a tricycle to Tambuli. It’s a 5 minute ride or so. We paid ten pesos each. Then you can walk your way to the lobby area.
So we made it. Like a boss.
Entrance fee is 500 pesos, the 400 pesos is consumable. You can enjoy their pool if you’re not the beach-y type. They also have rooms that starts at 2000 pesos per night, good for two.

















Naz had a hard time getting the shot she wanted because she was using kit lens so she asked me to take that shot instead.

This is the shot.




Going back to the mainland was a lot easier and seemed shorter. We took a tricycle going to the intersection, we took a multicab that has a “Hi-way” signage that’s gonna bring us to Parkmall, we paid 16 pesos each. Then from Parkmall, we went to Ayala, we stayed for a while there for dinner.
Naz: Kim, this is the Terraces.
Kim: Oh Terses.
I don’t know, but I find it funny. Haha. :-D
When we got in the pad, I asked for a high five from each of the girls and shouted “We made it back here! Oh my God, we’re so responsible and so amazing and so sexy and so, wala lang.” We ended up laughing together.
Safe and sound (smile),
A.
