Christmas Getaway To Greenbelt (3 And 5)....With DORE-MON!!!! :D:D:D:D

-1 year ago pa namin ito plinaplano, but we never had the chance to do so....and now....NATULOY....YEY....thank you extreme home-boredom!!!! :D:D:D:D

- Arrived at Greenbelt with Dorenett around 4pm in search for Monica....

- Saw Monica....nagscandalo kami sa Music1. Hahahaha....

- Bought movie tickets for our 6:20 movie....

- Ate at Bubba Gump....plenty of catching up to do!!!!

- Bought gelato....grabe....the Nutella gelato didn't taste like Nutella at all. Drat. Haha....

- Watched our movie....haha....pumunta lang kaming Greenbelt para manuod ng Ang Tanging Ina N'yong Lahat. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....it was fun to watch....the reporter of the movie looked so much like Ms. Chan (please refer to the album "Yah Dharma Ke Pyaar Screenshots"). Then again, I did a little research and found out that it wasn't her....awwwwwwww....pero super kamukha kasi, with the voice, teeth eyes and all, parang mejo carbon copy ni mam....o well....

- Walked to Greenbelt 5....we shopped there....yeah....window shopped....nagWINDOW SHOP ng mga damit, pagkain, sapatos, mannequin, furniture, toys, lahat na lang....hahahaha....ang yaman namin noh....hahahaha....joke!!

- Super pictorial by the stairs....our so called "Greenbelt 5 Pyramid Stairs"....ala lang, may feeling na nasa loob ka ng pyramid eh....ayun, nagskandalo ako with my famous upside down shot....buti na lang kunti lang tao doon....kundi baka isipin ng guards baliw ako na bumubula-bula pa ang bibig!!!! *knocks 3 times*

- Finally ate a Cyma, grabe....super great ng food doon kahit kelan....haha....we ordered out cheese appetizer just for the sake of the "OPA!!" experience....haha....basta yung mga dishes na nagfla-flambe. Haha....tapos they do the flambe in front of you, tapos everyone (the staff at least) will shoud "OPA!!!!". It's fun when they do it to your dish, pero pag sa other tables, tapos mabibigla ka lang when every staff shouts "OPA!!"....haha....that opa thing gets me every time I eat there....nakakagulat, pero ang cute!! hahahaha....

- Finally went home....haha....grabe....one of my most memorable nights....haha....last time we did this was 4 years ago....with another person....4 kami dati....now 3 na lang....haha....oh well, it's ok lang. What a nice small family!! Hahahaha!!!! YEYYYY!!!! Super thanks Dor and Mon!! :D:D:D:D Till next time....haha....

Christmas Getaway To Robinson's Place Manila!!!!

-Met up in CKSC, 9am....na naging 9:30....na naging 9:45....tapos nagbreakfast na lang kami sa McDo....Haha....Saw Zachary (SSHS-Ateneo friend) there....

-Jessica wasn't able to go because she needed to do something daw....pero she was able to make it sa McDo....

-We chatted in McDonald's until around 12noon or so....and then we headed to RP.

-We ate in the Banana Leaf, ordered some Thai food and yeah....we ate on banana leaves....hahahaha!!!!

-After lunch, we saw Lalaine and Joanna....gah....haha....we chatted in front of the Banana Leaf Restaurant....as Lala pointed out, it was a form of "non-traditional advertising"....kasi it means daw, na, if you eat in the Banana Leaf Restaurant, you'll meet your friends....hahahaha....(It's a Comm/Advertising thing....haha) Also, I met Hannah Tan (Uno-Ateneo friend) and her mom (with another companion na hindi ko kilala sino....). Haha....

-Went to Paeng's and bowled. After that, we played billiards. Gah. Nanalo ang girls sa lahat ng games in bowling and billiards....Since bitter kami ni Oliver, sabi ni Oliver na "Pasko naman eh. Pagbigyan. Merry Christmas!!" HAHAHAHA!!!! Labo much!! Tapos grabe. I don't wanna say much, basta mejo nainis kami sa billiards part dahil sa service....haha....

-After Paeng's we ate in Greenwich (puro kain kami eh....haha). Met Jamie Chuah there (another Uno-Ateneo friend, Lalaine's blockmate). We also saw Joanna there....(Joanna 4-8 Prospex)

-After that, we went somewhere to meet Erlyn's little sister and her friends (yey, more CKSC people :D:D:D:D). After that, we went home around 5pm or so....it was a bit dark already....

-Had fun!! Wished we watched a movie too, wala lang....parang bitin, or maybe it's because we weren't complete....hay....Oh well, looking forward to summer's trip!! :D:D:D:D

-Hayz....we had fun remembering stuff too....oh well....nostalgia....:) :) :) :)

- Dec. 6, 2008, Fernwood Gardens, 6pm (which started at around 8 something already....haha....)

- I went to CKSC around 5pm to meet up with Tal, since I would be carpooling with her and Leanne....They had their scout meeting pa so we left around 6 something....haha....

- We arrived in Fernwood looking like we got "lost" somewhere....apparently we haven't changed into our costumes yet....hahahaha....

- We had fun there....tapos 18 Treasures din pala ako (halong boys and girls yung treasures niya....hehe....), tapos I think I was the one with the longest speech....hahahaha....

- We never knew that they had a "Mr. and Ms. Fashionista Awards" that night....the host only announced it during the awarding itself. Sigh, we never knew that we were all "stalked" the whole night....Wahahahahaha.... Ayon....tapos, ayon....Andrea was Ms. Fashionista....with her Hairspray inspired look (gotta love her hair sobra....), and ayun....ako naman si Mr. Fashionista (shocking noh??....haha....)....hahahaha....Cinq Overload....hahahaha....Pero seriously though, everyone looked great that night!!!! Maraming tao ang kumareer sa getup nila....hehe :D:D:D:D

- Before Tal, Leanne and I left, we camwhored first....hindi namin palalampasin yun....hahahaha....oh well....Haha....the set was nice kasi eh....hahahaha....

- Special mention pala to Danielle Ong....she was the one who made the 3 braids that hung down from my pants....haha....she made those 3 years ago for our 3rd year travelogue (India) in English class....haha....(napansin ko andaming 3 ah....3 braids, 3 years, 3rd year....hahahaha)

- My attire for this debut was the wildest attire I've worn among all debuts. Hahahaha....This attire even beats the attire I wore for Jane's debut. Hahahaha!!!! Panu ba naman, this time, pati eyeliner and everything na....hahahaha!!!!

SURPRISE SURPRISE!!!! LEANNE DY'S SURPRISE 18TH!!!!!!!!!!

- November 29, 2008, Kiko's Restaurant, Puregold, E. Rod. Avenue, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines, 6:30pm

- Nalate si Leanne and Jelvin (like mga more than an hour late....) so kumain muna kami....haha....yey buffet....

- Everything went well naman, haha....

- Kelan pa natutong magguitar si Nellie?!?!?!?!

- Attire for the night: Black Chinese top with golden highlights (the garb was reversible, the other side being gold with black highlights), slacks and a little Chinese ornament that I placed through my belt. I positioned it where the slits of the Chinese top could be found, so the ornament could be seen. Haha....Grabe, buena mano itong debut ni Leanne sa black suit ko. Hahahaha....I call it the Chinamerican look. Haha....Kasi the black Chinese top was of course, not the best thing to wear in a typical Chinese occasion, but the top was going for the pseudo-Americana-polo look, which made the suit formal. Haha....Wow may ganyan pa raw akong nalalaman. Hahahaha....

-more pics to come :D:D:D:D

THE DEBUTSPEDIDA (Debut + Despedida): ERVINA TAN'S 18TH (Advanced Celebration)....

-katable ng Cinq (and shobe ni Chabert) ang mga DLSU friends ni Ervina....then ayun, binubuking namin mga some things about Chabert sa kanila, and sa shobe ni Chabert....hindi ko nga alam kung may naintindihan yung mga DLSU friends ni Ervina sa amin eh....wala kaming ginawa kundi tumawa nang tumawa....haha....

- mageexchange student si Ervina sa Singapore, so it was like a despedida party also....

- Andun pala si Sir Judes....:D:D:D:D Wahahahaha....wala lang, shocking....hehe....

- Despite the very traditional Chinese setting of the restaurant, I chose to go wearing an Indonesian batik polo (it's a printed batik sadly....not the handmade one....), then with an added touch....the copper-brass necklace that I bought in 2007....it was supposed to be for display lang, kasi alam ko pambabae siya....never in my life did I ever think that I would wear it someday....well I did, and bagay pala....hindi mukhang gay....just, multicultural....bwahahahahaha :D:D:D:D
