Cause I am such a busy(?) person.. I haven't had the time to blog about all the happenings these past few days.. And since this is going to be a long post, I am going to write this in bulky paragraphs per topic and you'll have to read them all before seeing the pictures. It's easier for me that way.
Okay, here we go..
GOOGLE LETTER
✩ 11|13|2012
Let me start off with something I felt really good about. Google sent me a snail mail asking persuading me to try Adsense. It basically is asking me to pay them 500 pesos in exchange of them advertising my blog. I don't really know if every single blogger received this kind of letter from them but I'm oh so overjoyed to know that they do acknowledge my existence as a blogger! This is something for me since it is a big leap from writing research papers and using highfalutin, formal and highly academic words to writing day-to-day experiences using informal words, sometimes profanity in this blog. By receiving this mail, I feel appreciated. Of course, I still want to write research papers every now & then, and go and read literary pieces from time to time. After all, that's where I truly learned most of what I know. I will never ever get to fully understand literary criticisms and also stylistics but I will be eternally in love with literature. :) LITERATURE FOREVER!! Ü

Nth MONTHSARY
✩ 11|14|2012
Happy Monthsary to me and Rob!! ♥ yaaaay!
We spent the day gallivanting in 168 cause I've been dying to go there. When we got there, I was nostalgic! I remembered how everyday I would pass by Binondo church from school. I missed living in Binondo. I felt like a legit chinese when we were still living there. Huhu. Anywayyy, we ate at Mc Donald's cause I was trying to be thrifty. Yea, TRYING being the operative word. We bought a lot of stuff especially because the items are insanely much more cheaper than in Market Market!! I got two necklaces and a ring all for 100php. Compare that to 150php per necklace in Fashion Market!! Unbelievable!!! I also was able to buy the tutu dress for Roxy Jielaena Winter's birthday!!! So pretty and so affordable!! It's not from 168 though. It's from one of the new malls there. I was like a kid in a candy store! Divisoria is a heaven for cheap thrills! Food trip also! We then headed to Quiapo church to pray. I know! I don't look religious or spiritual at all. We bounced off to Robinson's Place Manila, where I bought happy lemon and named it after "fourteen". HANGLANDI!!! So high school! hahahaha. And of course, wherever I go, I always have to go and look for the E6000 glue!! ( Anyone who knows where I can get these hard-to-find industrial glue please contact me!!!!) I looked for E6000 just about everywhere! National Bookstore, Ace Hardware, etc. This time, I tried my luck over at Handyman but to no avail. Boo! :( While I was busy looking for the E6000 glue, he was too busy taking pictures of me cause he liked what I was wearing. Too different from the high school and college tshirt and shorts jhay jhay that he knew. Now, I dress a lot more presentable and sooo not nene anymore! After being sore loser at Handyman, we went and looked for somewhere to eat. We decided to eat at C2 (Classic Cuisine) just at the G/f of Robinson's Midtown. We ordered for Binagoongang Liempo(?), Pandan Rice and Leche Flan. Their food was so delish. I really love how the liempo skin was so crunchy and the leche flan was so sweet. Oh! I could eat liempo forever! All hail liempo!
After all these years, we still celebrate monthsary like a freakin' high school couple.
Peace and love to all. Choz.
BROKERS' ADVANCE CHRISTMAS PARTY!!!
✩ 11|15|2012
This is my first Christmas Party for the brokers with Alveo's Phoenix Team. And Christmas came really early! We held the said event in Vikings Restaurant on November 15. That's right! A Christmas Party on November! And this is because most of the bosses are going to... USA! Yey! Their going to have a roadshow in Los Angeles, San Francisco and I forgot the others... Anyway, on that day, I was not able to eat my lunch cause as early as 11am, Eric and Archie are already bugging me and Katz at our site. To cut the long story short, I was able to eat a hotdog bun and a mango juice for the whole day and so when the festivity started, tummy told me it's payback time! My tummy went really upset cause of my ulcer. huhuhu. I was not able to eat as much as I wanted to. THAT IS FREAKING EAT-ALL-YOU-CAN and I was able to eat a few makis, a crab limb, a few shrimps and halfway through eating, I cannot go on. Poor me! Poor little me! I wanted to gobble everything! I wanted to be gluttonous even for one night! :( My tummy attacks at the wrong time! WRONG TIME!! :( Anyway, I super enjoyed the photobooth, the raffle (even if I'm super envious of all the GCs being given away to these brokers), and the event itself. It is indeed more fun in Alveo. More fun in Brokers Network Group. :)
HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS GET TOGETHER
✩ 11|16|2012
On Friday afternoon, I received a call from my very good friend, Eda. She reminded me of our dinner for that night. I was taken aback! With all the things and events happening, I forgot all about the said dinner! I panicked cause I was not able to tell Rob. But anyway, we went to Mall of Asia for this dinner. Of course, after high school, the four of us were always the ones who get together and just hang out even though we have crazy schedules. I blogged about one of those days here. We always, always have the problem of where to eat and that night is not an exception. We ended up in The Old Spaghetti House. I forgot to take pictures cause we waited for like 30 loooong minutes before it was finally served. And so we instantly ate all of it. Just like that. I love their Tiramisu cake! I could eat that everyday of my life along with liempo, of course! hahahaha. I still wonder why I don't get fat. Dinner was pretty much about asking each other how's life been and that kind of stuff. When dinner was done, Alvin and her girlfriend, Zel, had to leave cause Zel has a 4:30am duty the next day.. We went to the seaside just like we always do and had our kwentuhan there. Joseph and Charles (and her wife) also came by that night. Mainly because we persistently asked them to come. Haha. We went to Padi's Point to have a few drinks. When the drinks flowed, the kwentuhan also did. hoho. We were done by around 2am. While walking towards the parking, I swear I almost fell asleep! I had to keep babbling and talking to prevent myself from sleeping. And since it's really late in the evening, the elevator was closed already! We had to use the freaking staircase up to level 4! Level 4!!! I was panting while walking towards the car. All the exhaustion of all the activities took its toll and I fell asleep in the car like an innocent baby. Next thing I know, we're home. It was a really fun night. I wish we had more time, energy and money to spare. I missed my high school friends! Those people are like family to me. Yihee. I love you guys! :)
And since this blog post mainly reflects my exhausting social life and career life, I would like to end this with a picture of me wanting sleep so badly. Zzzzzz.
