No fear at all to wear these head-dresses and hats all around the city because fact of the matter is... everyone's wearing one, too! Taking the opportunity to roam around shamelessly with these! :D
Naghasik ng lagim, that is :)
And yes, welcome to the world... Mayeehhnn! :)

~A mini reunion with Mayen and her tita Myna :)
It was very fun spending the whole Saturday afternoon with these wonderful girls from my short-lived years in undergraduate Psychology! I don't usually get to spend time with these girls, but every time spent with them is really fun and de-stressing! Never mind the fact that my whole legs get sore from all the walking! It was all worth it!
We also tried that virtual roller coaster ride which absolutely took our breath away! I forgot the name but it is located on the 4th floor of SM City Cebu adjacent to Toy Kingdom. Price is @ 120/person/ride which lasts for about 5minutes! But believe me, it's really, really fun! It's amazing how people's minds work! You could think for a while that you're in a real roller coaster ride! Hahaha!
Anyhoo... Moving on to something Christmassy...
Here is my number one wishlist for this Christmas is this:
I am in size S or M :) You can visit Soak here. They've got all the lovely swimwears in the whole world! The best of its kind yet in Philippine swimwear revolution! I really, really love it like super! So please do care to get me one for Christmas! Hahaha! I'm hoarding for the summer! ;)
my head is garbled,
~tSin
So please do accept my garbled writing. It's hallow's eve and I'm either... excited or afraid! Idk, really.
It is somewhat depressing how I've seriously gained weight and gone wider down the hip bones. And as though the fact that I have bloated is not traumatizing enough both my mum and pop couldn't keep themselves from reminding me how fat chubby I have become. Last weekend I went to this party of an old high school friend and all the people there have noticed that I have gained about 10 lbs from the last time they saw me (I swear it's just my hips getting wider by the second, really!).And how I want to pierce their eyes everytime it hovers on my bloating stomach! Ugh. I seriously need to lose weight, but I can't seem to stop eating! Is this some eating disorder of some sort or something? Just when I finally got myself hooked to Coke Zero I am now forced to give it up because no matter how convincing it may sound that it's really zero calorie or what not... it's still soda and it's still not going to help me in losing weight. Later on, I would have to give up on the chips and dessert and some other food... or I might just give up eating! As though eating healthy could help me up with my savings. Never really. Eating healthy is just very expensive - like super! It is not easy to live the healthy way, but I want to roam the streets of the world for a longer time so I will have to sacrifice and spend whatever cash is left of me to eating healthy. Btw, The Boyfriend couldn't help staring at my once-triangle-now-round-face-according-to-him.
Anyhooser too much about me rambling about my very depressing weight gain... On a lighter note, last weekend Officemates and I went to Tabuelan for the quarterly (seems like) team building with a budget provided by the company of course! Not much but enough to get us a room for a night and an overflowing supply of food! And these are just some of it!
grilled pork belly and fish! put on the garnishing for the pork belly and made it more colorful and inviting! heheh...
the couple cooks! my dearest friend Julie finally found the love of her life (hopefully!:D)
There's nothing very special about the place really, but it does give you that peaceful provincial feeling which you can enjoy and savor while thinking forgetting for a day or two the busy city life. I am also not a very big fan of the northern shores so my judgement might be a little biased here. Here are a few photos of the place and you can see for yourself ;)
there's the beach and look at those clouds forming the gates to heaven! :D
the shoreline in the morning... the water gets really far during low tide and it doesn't come back to shore until about 10 in the morning seems like a regular thing.
sadly, the sunrise doesn't show up in this part of the world... it does look gloomy but it's not!
And yes, no photos of the sunset again because... I think you already might have an idea. Oh well, after a few good shots of heart-warming and head-thudding liquor I passed out with an excuse to go to the room to have my camera battery charged! I was later found sprawled like a dead oil on the bed with my swim wear on! Haha! Good thing they were all too tired to take a picture of me sleeping! I slept for about four hours and woke up just before dinner got served. It's crazy how I can no longer vividly remember what we did or ate for dinner that night... I was all too groggy! Even the shower didn't wake me up completely at all!
The next day we walked around the place and honestly, I thought I would be able to run but due to my laziness I let my chance slip away! Phew! Good thing though that we played the classic game of patinteroonce everybody was up. It was pretty exhausting but all worth it cuz we scored with a proud one and a zero to our dearest opponents! *grins*
Sweating our hearts out in action! :)
After a couple of rounds we had to end the game because all of us were already gasping for breath and air and oxygen and we were all very hungry - we only had a sip of Milo before we went on for the game. Corned beef and egg omelettes were served for breakfast! And then our number one time-eater followed. KARAOKE until our company service came to fetch us to bring us back to the city and reality.
Sure, it was a short vacation - not even a vacation really - but it did give us some time to unwind and forget our busy corporate lives for twenty-four hours! :D See all of our photos here and enjoy! This little kid right here also made our team building really fun with her cuteness!
this is Juno's daughter Xierra the newest contractual member of the Dispatch team. haha! kidding! isn't she oh-so-adorable?!
And this is me right here saying goodbye to Coke Zero... for real.
I think I must be too happy to write anything that would make sense today. So as promised I'm just going to post some of my pictures from the Slumber Party that I really slept on last weekend. It was a blast though, as in supermassively fun! A lot of my girlfriends went to Love's place to just hang out and catch up with the things that has been going on in our lives! Now, the photos:
us girls plus a gay (heheh.. peace chin!)
let the goofing and horsing around begin!

So there goes my weekend spent with the bestest friends in the whole world one could ever have!
Helloooo everyone! I had an amazing weekend - like supermassively amazing! A blast, in fact! I was sleepless from Friday until about four in the morning Sunday... I'm still a happy kid though!
July 19, 2009 marked my sixth month in the company and that means that I have just been regularized! I was once sooo anxious about regularization day cuz of my absences and I am just glad that I'm now part of the company without a doubt!
SATURDAY. From work, Tim and I went straight to visit my doctor for my monthly follow-up check up. He recommended I read the Seven Habit of Highly Successful People and The Puprose Driven Life - unfortunately, two of the books in their category that I'm not a very big fan of. For the sake of compliance I'm gonna go ahead and take a shot at The Purpose Driven Life since I already have a copy of it anyway. In fact, I have already started reading the first part of it. Oh well, Dr William, you better give me some credit for this!
i know it looks old,
it's been left on the shelves
for years already.
I guess it's time I know my purpose in life.
and what I'm missing exactly.
As for the other book, I'll be praying that somebody will give it to me probably as a gift or something or I WISH HE (MY DOCTOR) will provide it instead, like give it to me for FREE (he could take it from his PF! heheh...)
The moment I got home I had take off again to the city to pay my bills and have our internet connection, well, reconnected. And it so happened that Tim and his family were also in the city. His dad just arrived in time for his sister's birthday and also he did mean to be home earlier so he could join his first granddaughter's, LJ, first birthday! I had lunch with them and didn't stay for long... I had to run again for some other chores! I swear I didn't get any sleep at all, but I'm not complaining! It was all worth it. And I had my dose of
The night before, the rest of the team agreed to celebrate this historical day by partying like rockstars! Hahah! Although we weren't really complete because of some inevitable reasons... those who weren't able to come were excused and apologies accepted. No worries at all. So moving on, we had dinner at AA's. The food was amazing or perhaps we were just really hungry or maybe this particular restaurant really serves good food. Well they're pretty popular around the city though...
LOOKIE:
sizzled milkfish
(that's not really the name of this food, I'm just making
that up! heheh..)
pochero!
very appropriate for the cold weather.
It's really funny! We even weren't able to take decent pictures of the food anymore cuz we were seriously starving already! Like super! Right after dinner we went straight to hit the Videoke Bars. The first destination was packed, good thing Governor Julie (peace Chul! :D) had friends in this other Videoke Bar, Gimik. She asked them to reserve a room for us and we were solved! Although we still had to wait when we got there. It was a Saturday after payday, for crying out loud, what was I expecting?
Us, Dispatch, outside AA's L.A.Hug :D
with the security guard directing our poses, hahah!
the videoke room lights :)
yes, i see rainbow!
in this picture we were supposed to show off our pearly whites
but then juno chose to give out that
pretty pucker! :D
"i can see you through my heart."

and flowery dress!
"peeking through your heart."
woisy in a see through black and white tee
"here's my heart!"
juno all smiles in her orange dress,
simply elegant! :) made her look like
she just came from a debut party! PEACE!
junz, you actually won outfit of the night!
"heart misplaced cuz i left it in meadowland."
me wearing my sister's ULTRA violet tee-hee! :D
The videoke was really crazy in a good way and really fun! Since the four of us - Julie, Lois, Juno, and Me - were the only ones left (Xtian and Ainz had to leave for their Saturday commitment with work), we took the oppurtunity to take control of the place with nonstop singing of random hit songs like Spice Girls, Heart, The Rembrandts, Incubus, Katy Perry and our very own local bands Eraserheads, Imago, Rivermaya, and our favorite of the night: AEGIS! It was very liberating to be singing Aegis songs!
After the Gimik we went straight to Vudu to continue partying. Unfortunately, I was already tipsy with the Weng2x and that other drink which I couldn't remember the name at all I couldn't help taking a nap on one of the tables just outside the dance club. Crazy me. And Lois' tum-tum went bad she had to go home early. I think I might've slept for like half an hour and when I woke up I already had a cup of frap! I had to drink it so I would feel better. I did a bit, but then later on craved for spaghetti! We had to walk to the nearest McDonald's to get my fill!
Lastly, thanks to Julie's PR prowess we met some new friends! :D
in this picture is Niña.
and here is Sid, William, and Jepoi
on our way to McDonald's
we strike a pose at the overpass! :)
Earlier that night, when I kissed my mom good-by she said that I should go home early and that I shouldn't drink. I'm sorry mother I couldn't help it... Well, I've been a good girl though cuz I went home early... in the morning! Sorry, really. I seldom go out now so please reconsider! I love you! :D Sheesh. I did get home very early on Sunday at about four in the morning and I fell asleep in the cab! Good thing the driver was nice enough to have awaken me five minutes just before our place. I was all groggy and dizzy I didn't mind anymore that he asked for an additional P20! I was just glad I was home and will be able to roll in bed and doze off. After sending my text messsages to Julie and Juno and Lois and of course, Tim - I let myself be knocked out. And guess what? I missed mass because I had a really painful headache! :O
SUNDAY. I spent the whole day sleeping at Tim's place! And the moment I got home I was surprised when my mom met me with "Hey, someone dropped by to give you these..." and she pointed to a package on the couch. It was a Nissan toy car (which turned out is for my sister Lique2x) and this:
I'm not sure who that is. It could be me or my sister Lique2x or Lovely or a mixture of the three of us! Hahah! A good friend of mine gave it to us and I'm not sure if it was him who made it, but it's really cool although again I couldn't figure out if that is me or one of my sisters!
I guess this should be it for now. I think I have blabbered enough and it's time I hit the sheets... I still got work tonight! Oh by the way, noticed my lipstick? It's soooo cute and I really, really, really love it! One last picture before I leave for slumberworld (OMG! It's already 5:00 PM!):
Fashion 21, Aqualicious in Little Mermaid Pink
just the kind shade of pink that I want!
alright, sleeping now,
~tSin
P.S. somebody just made my day today! I am definitely so smitten!
