Wednesday, August 10, 2005I know, I know. I haven’t written in this blog in what seems like a million years. I’ve been busy lately. I get the chance to go online only at work… and when I’m at work, I… well, work. Hahaha! It’s only now that I got the chance to write something. My last entry wasn’t even an entry. Hahaha! A lot of things have happened since I last wrote here, and now I will update this blog with whatever has been happening in my life since my last post. There were so many changes, but one thing remains the same: I am still single. Hahahaha!! March 5, 2005. That was my last entry. And it probably shouldn't count as a real entry because it wasn't really written by me... Hehehe... I'm blabbing. Anyway, lemme just run by the stuff that's been happening to me since the last time I wrote here... March 12, 2005. Toby's Party at Waps' house! Super fun! (toby-bobs-erix-tammy-waps-steph-chuck-mike-dino-juvi-pj-igoy-jem) March 14, 2005. PIA ARRIVED FROM AUSTRALIA!!! FYI, Pia is my sister. Well, not really. She's actually my cousin. But since we're soooo close (add to that the fact that my mom and her mom are really close as well), she's almost like my sister. =D March 17, 2005. "Reunion" with cousins at Eastwood!!! (pa-josh-nina-erik-rica-tita gang-uncle nuj) March 19, 2005. Lola Ester's birthday party! Josh played the guitar for the mass, and Chil, Bobs (yes, Bobs!) and I sang. =D It was a fun party, considering most of the people there were twice (or maybe even triple) my age. Hehehe. March 20, 2005. Joshua's Grad! Hehehe. Proud Ate. March 23 - March 26, 2005 - BICOL!!!! (tammy-kaia-wawie-mikey-dandan-lee) March 23: - Went to Telegrafo to catch the sun - Went to Cagaycay and had a "boulder climbing" adventure - San Jose Idol (Mikey's idea), episode 1 --> Tammy--Out! March 24: - Went to Aguirangan (an island), and soaked up the sun! - San Jose Idol, Episode 2 (Dandan was the wild card and he beat Tammy, but Tam gave way. hahahaha!) --> Lee--Out! - Survivor San Jose (Again, Mikey's idea), Episode 1 -->Lee--Out! ** wawa Lee. Hahaha! March 25: - Watched Kung-Fu Hustle! - Stations of the Cross... in the rain! - San Jose Idol, Episode 3 --> Wawie--Out! - Survivor San Jose, Episode 2 --> Tammy--Out!

Bwahahahaha!!! - Survivor San Jose, Episode 3 and finale --> Kaia--Out! Wawie=Sole Survivor! Bwahahahaha!!! March 27, 2005. - Manila-Bound -- :( We had lunch at Buddy's in Lucban, though. I had yummy Lucban (duh) Longganisa. :) March 29, 2005. - back to work... Not. Long story. April 1, 2005. - Southridge-Poveda Dinner at Eric's house! Yey! Super fun night! We ended up laughing hysterically at Friends. Yes, Friends as in the TV show Friends. None of us knew that most of us have an obsession over the show. hahaha! Wonderful night. April 2, 2005. - Wawie's wonderfully striped grad dinner party! - Dinner at Bento Box Palanca with Chil, Bobs and Anj - Adventure at the Urdaneta Park hahahaha!!! April 4, 2005. - My 1st time in Divisoria!!! hahaha! Went with Tita Jing and Bobs. It was super fun! Did a lot of damage to my pocket though... Damages were: 10.00 - MRT ride to Cubao 14.00 - LRT ride to Recto 5.00 - Jeep to Divisoria 95.00 - CD Wallet 45.00 - Ponytail holders ( I swear, kuminang talag mata ko when i saw how cheap they were!) 40.00 - phone thingee for joshua 40.00 - Lighters for Days 175.00 - Lunch! 600.00 - Capris and Jeans 100.00 - Strawberries 180.00 - Tapis (this cool towel with a garter and velcro that you can wrap yourself with after you shower... nifty!) 150.00 - Eyelet cloth for skirt 130.00 - Cologne (bwahahahaha!) 14.00 - LRT to Cubao ** took the taxi going home, and Tita Jing paid for it. hahaha! Spent P1,698.00 ... Not bad, diba? :) APRIL 8 – 23, 2005. I co-facilitated with Jon my first CCT class! I handled several modules on my own, but most of the time, I was assisting Jon with the rest of the modules. It was really fun! During the first few days, I knew right away why I wanted to become a trainer. On their graduation day, I couldn’t help but shed a few tears. (Sinong iyakin??!) Hahaha! Jon and I sang “The Promise” for the class before we let them go. APRIL 15 – 17, 2005. A-Days batch 28! Yey! We had it at LEAP, this pre-school along Greenmeadows Avenue. I missed Friday night because I had to go to work, but I took Saturday off. Chil and I were the music heads for that batch, and… Let’s just say na ang galing ni Jess dahil ang dami niyang pinadalang anghel para sa amin nung batch na yun. APRIL 25 – 29, 2005. I co-facilitated with Mac. She was actually in the middle of her run, but I got used to the trainees right away. By the end of the first day, I had memorized all of the trainee’s names! Hehe!!! I wasn’t able to graduate them, though, because… My boss’ boss talked to me, and said that I had to go back to comm coaching because they needed a tenured comm coach for a new (and critical) account. I was perfectly happy where I was (because I really wanted to become a trainer), and I didn’t know that that would happen. I never thought I would cry in front of the CCT manager, but I did, out of disappointment. Needless to say, he felt bad that I felt that way, but not bad enough to make me stay in CCT. **update on this later. May realization to eh. Hahaha!** MAY 1, 2005. TQID outing. This was sooooo fun! Mac had “slept-over” the night before (enclosed in quotation marks because we didn’t really sleep). It was my duty to keep her awake during the trip to Laguna because she was driving. The resort was nice, although it could have been nicer. Hahaha! We played A LOT of games. I belonged to tribe Malatungay. We won the first game (buko-pie eating contest)… but we lost the succeeding games. Wah. I had so much fun! But I was also DEAD TIRED after. MAY 2 – 6, 2005. I attended ESL training. It was fun, although it was boring at times. I had fun because I was with the CCT trainers, who I probably will not see in a long time. On the 5th, I developed severe lower back pains. I don’t know where the pains came from, but a lot of people said that it stemmed from me wearing three-inch heeled shoes for three consecutive days. Tanga. Hahaha. MAY 6, 2005. I was supposed to have dinner with Tammy, Glenn and Fr. Dacanay, but because of my sked, I wasn’t able to follow :( sad. Anyway, I met up with them (sans Fr. Dacnay) at Ateneo. Then I had coffee with Tammy ad Chiara at Starbucks. After a while, Tammy said that she needed to take a dump (sorry, Tam, I had to include this. Haha!). So after about 30 minutes in Starbucks, we went to her house. Little did I know that my friends were already there! They had planned a surprise party for me! Hahaha! Ako naman si tanga, I didn’t notice the 10 million (hyperbole yan ha.) cars parked in front of Tammy’s house. I was soooooo surprised and happy! People from A-days were there, my college friends, and of course, my wonderful high school barkada (whose name I will not mention because I probably will be greeted by angry stares the next time I see them. Hahaha!). I had so much fun! There were a lot of drinks, a lot of food, and good company. We went home at about 4am na! MAY 7, 2005. I had dinner with my family at Dad’s. YUMMY. As in. I was seated beside by cute (and favorite… secret lang ha. Hahaha!) cousin, Chinchin. After my first round, I stood up to go to the other end of the table to play with my other cousins, Mico and Yssa. Here’s what happened: * Kaia stands up Chinchin: Saan ka pupunta? Kaia: Puntahan ko lang sina Mico. Chinchin: Bakit? Kaia: Kakausapin ko lang sila. Chinchin: Bakit? Ayaw mo na akong katabi? Hahahah! And take note, this kid is two and a half years old!!! Super smart! Mana sa panganay niyang pinsan! Hahaha! So anyway, I stood up and went to my other cousins. After a while, my dad asked me to go out with him to smoke. After one stick, we went inside and I went to the buffet table to get dessert. When I came back… Chinchin: Saan ka galing? Kaia: Doon, kumuha ako ng food. Chinchin: Ah. Hinahanap kasi kita eh. Hahahah! CUTE. Josh and I went to Starbucks at Pearl to meet up with my friends. Sinalubong namin nila Tammy, Trey, Mike, Toby, at PJ and birthday ko. Hahaha! It was fun, we were reminiscing about college… Then after midnight came, we left na (talagang inabangan lang ang birthday ko eh no!). Hahahahahaha!!! MAY 8, 2005. Chil, Josh, and I had dinner at Friday’s Tomas Morato and coffee at *bucks Loop. I had so much fun, although my back still hurt like hell. We had to go home a bit early because I had to go to the hospital the next day to have my back checked. :( MAY 9 – 13, 2005. I had my PST for the new account. I met new people, and I had fun. My backaches worsened. It would take me about 10 minutes to get up from my seat and walk to the elevator to go down and smoke. That’s how bad it was. But the pain wasn’t enough to stop me to get up and smoke. Hahaha! MAY 14, 2005. Mark’s birthday party!!! Super fun! Though it was in Paranaque, we didn’t mind. We saw high school friends, drank wine, and more wine, and more wine… Hahaha!!! ** Tammy was drunk. She made out with Johnny Walker. MAY 21, 2005. Twinkle’s surprise party! Twinkle is my Days daughter. My favorite Days daughter. Hahaha! Nag-iisang anak? Hahaha! Joke lang, A22! I had fun concocting drinks for everyone. We came up with “good job,” which is gin, vodka, sprite, blue curacao, and island lime. Hahaha! I just put whatever was at Twinkle’s bar, and I magically made a drink that everyone loved! Hahaha! Honestly, maybe I should make drink mixing a career. We visited the Convergys Commonwealth site, and I saw some of my former trainees. We were still supposed go back to Twinkle’s party, but I figured it was too late to do that. Hehehe. JUNE 3 – 5, 2005. A29! It was a great batch. Chil and I sponsored one participant each. I sponsored Peejay, and she sponsored Martin. It was a great batch. I was entertainment head with Wawie, and needless to say, we made everyone laugh with our well-rehearsed dance numbers (imagine… Dandan topless dancing Totoy Bibo, Ria being carried a-la Vilma by Grip and Josh to the tune of Macho Papa… hahaha!)… It was a successful batch… But then again, what batch isn’t? =D JUNE 8, 2005. A month after my back pains started, I went to see a neurosurgeon. Turns out, I had a LUMBAR DISC BULGE WITH NERVE COMPRESSION. Go figure. Bwah. JUNE 18, 2005. Fete de la Muzique Rocked!!! (although it would have been better minus all the sweaty, topless guys sitting ON Julia Vargas and ADB ave.) But nonetheless, it rocked!!! JUNE 26, 2005. Chil, Josh, Kiel, Wawie, and I had a raket at the Makati Sports Club for Microsoft. They had a kids’ camp, and we were tasked to be in the day care group. I was assistant team lead, although what I did wasn’t really much different from what the others did. Chil, Wawie, and I were assigned to the toddlers, while Josh and Kiel were assigned to the Pre-Teens. Talk about RIOT!!! Some kids wanted to go home, some wanted to eat, some wanted to go to the bathroom, some wanted to play with the computers, some wanted to hang around Jack, Alice, Word-up, Excel-lent, Penelope Powerpoint, Mr. Encarta… Long story… I had TONS of fun, though. I had a favorite kid. Her name’s Jinka. She’s so adorable. She was soooo behaved. She was wearing a simple corduroy shirt dress, and her long and beaaaaaaautiful hair was put in place by a shadam-dadam (ahahaha, I just had to call it that). We were there from 10am-6pm, we had coffee at *bucks Valero after, and when I got home, I plopped down on my bed and went off to a deeeeeeeeeep sleep. JUNE 30, 2005. Pilar left for Spain. So sad. We all trooped to her condo for some quality time before she left. I was late, though, because I woke up late. I got here about 3pm na. Here’s something funny: * Kaia walks in Everyone: Kaia! Kain ka muna! Upo kana dito! Kain ka lang! Dami pang manok oh! (pointing to the bucket of KFC) Kaia: Okay! Thanks! * Kaia proceeds to eat KFC chicken. When she was on her 2nd piece… Tammy: Okay, guys, that’s (insert amount here) each for the chicken. * Kaia dramatically drops the chicken Kaia: PUTANG INA! Hindi ko namana hiningi to ah! Bwahahahahahahaha!!! Seriously, tawa kami ng tawa nun. Hahahaha! Nagbayad naman ako no. Hahaha! We couldn’t bring Pilar to the airport anymore because of transpo problems… So we all said goodbye to her at her condo. I’m gonna miss that place. I’m gonna miss the comfy couch, the champagne ice cream, the smoking balcony. I’m gonna miss Marie, Sumo, and Otis… I’m gonna miss Pilar. Awwww… I LOVE MY FRIENDS!!! July 14, 2005. Convergys Makati had its 80’s theme day! Hahaha! Everyone was required to wear anything 80’s inspire, or else they had to pay a fine of 50 pesos. Knowing how I get worked up about these sorts of things, of course kinareer ko! Hahahaha! Mia Pratts ito!!! Seriously, I had a lot of fun dressing up, and seeing all of my officemates dressed up as well! Never minds the fact that I was wearing a sheer top and it was FREEZING in the office. Hahahaha! July 15, 2005. Watched Kyla in Beauty and the Beast in Meralco with Erix, Trey, Bobs, Baba, Mikey, Cholo, Twinka, Lee-Ann, and Chai! Yey! Hooray for Kyla!!! **Applause, applause!!!** July 16, 2005. Hay. Everyone is leaving. Third’s despedida party… We arrived late, but we had TONS of fun… We played the “may iniisip ako” game… Nakakatawa yung mga pangalang lumabas… Hahaha! Mga… BoyBitsVictoria… Samboy Lim… Armando Goyena… Tessie Quintana… Wehehehehehe! CLASSIC!!! The fun part ended, though, when we had to leave… I ended up crying because I said good-bye to Third. I’m gonna miss him sooooooo much. He’s like the kuya I never had, and he left na. Wah... But he had to do what he had to do. I’m happy he’s happy with his wife Itin in Australia. =D Third, come home na, and take Itin na lang with you. Hehehe. July 23, 2005. Eric and Cheska’s birthday party!!! Erix, Anj, and I trooped to Alabang (in less than 30 minutes, in fairness!) and celebrated Eric and Cheska’s birthdays with our Southridge friends! Suuuuuuper fun! We spent the whole night laughing (about a lot of stuff… Carter getting drunk, Carter entering the gates of the Chinese temple, Everyone wanting to leave for Tagaytay for coffee… Hahahaha! We love you, Eric and Cheska!), and drinking wine, and watching friends, and talking about friends, and taking pictures!!! Ria dropped by too for a while. =D Anj, Erix, and I went home at around 5am na! Hahaha! But it was really, really fun… Worth traveling to the South! Hahaha! Kidding! We love you, Southridge friends! July 30, 2005. Toby’s surprise party! Hehehe! For no occasion at all! Super fun! Even if I didn’t drink (because I had to wake up early for EK), I had a lot of fun. We just spent the night hanging out at Tammy’s house, catching up, eating, singing, and laughing!!! July 31, 2005. ENCHANTED KINGDOM wahooooooooooo!!! This was supposed to be Joshua’s surprise party, but… It didn’t turn out as much of a surprise for him because the only people there to surprise him were Cybele and Timo. Wahahahaha! But we had a lot of fun anyway! I just fet bad that I couldn’t ride the Space Shuttle because of my back. Stupid back. Pero sulit. Sobrang sulit pa rin ang EK (kahit na umulan!). Hahaha! After EK, we went to town to have dinner with Eric and Cheska at Italianni’s. We had dessert in Eric’s house after. Josh and I got home at around midnight, an I literally plopped down on the bed and drifted off to lala land. Hahaha! August 6, 2005. Tammy’s surprise despedida Party!!! (I swear, everyone is leaving. =( wah.) This was suuuuuuuuuuuuuuper fun!!! Anj and I picked Tammy up at another surprise party for a friend of hers, we blindfolded her, and took her to…. HER HOUSE! Hahaha! It was funnycoz she was the one who shouted “SURPRISE!” instead of the people who were waiting for her! A lot of people made it to say goodbye to Baba… people from A-Days… From Ateneo… From Southridge… and of course, her ever-beautiful barkada!!! (especially the two people who planned the party **wink, wink, anj!**) Hahahah! I had so much fun! There was a lot of drinks, a lot of food, a lot of good friends… and a lot of tears… =( hay… baba! I will miss you! I was going to see tammy the next day but I wa crying when I left her house… **sapak** hahaha! I love you babooshki! //Sunkissed at 4:24 PM
