Hello Kitten and Hello Mimi's La Salle Adventure

Hail, hail, alma mater, hail to De La Salle!

The above pictures were taken after my best friend and I (also known as Mimi and Kitten: the porkchop [slash spicy chicken or chocolates and tahong chips and other yummy foods] duo) attended the wedding of Jhen, the literally red girl who completes our "threegeder" group of friends. teeheheh!

It was nice to be back in La Salle... Naturally, fond memories came back to me as soon as I stepped at the front gate and informed the guard that we were there to claim our yearbook. I can't help smiling while remembering the Madambas' Angels hanging out at the kubo, laughing out too loud without a care in the world about poise at the canteen and other inappropriate places (i.e. the library, the chapel), walking the vast grounds of La Salle without feeling tired at all, stalking our crushes and looking at bulletin boards for ideas about their whereabouts... Et al... Hay, college was so fun!

Anyway, we were there and I can't help but be awed at how big the students were. I guess the petite group (our batch and the others five years ago) is now over and the generation of big boned students begins. Hehe, ang lalaki kasi nila talaga!

Moving on... We were able to get our yearbook (finally, after 6 years!), which weighs like 10 kilos (seriously)!

The end.

Balik Pinas 2010

Hello Philippines, Mabuhay!

After one year of being away from Pinas, I'm reunited with my family and friends. I'm elated to see them; I miss Momon though... I wish it's like last 2009, when we went home together for a vacation.

I get to meet the newest member of our family, my cousin's cutie baby, Nicole.

And just in time for the San Juan fiesta, bonding with the looban friends is enjoyed!

Reunion with my high school friends, Tetey and Darci @ Bonifacio High Street. I lurve the Japanese Food (Tetey's libre to us)!

Of course getting together with the Madamba's Angels is required; kahit na hindi kami makumple-kumpleto. Naturally, sangdamakmak na tawanan, kwentuhan, kainan, tsismisan na naman ang naganap.

Mimi's new haircut

try lang mag side bangs. hehe!

goodbye, h♥me...

"Home is where the heart is."

I'm going back to Philippines in a few days time and I would like to say goodbye to my home, a.k.a. wherever Momon is; coz that's where my heart is...

Sad, inconvenient and needless to say unwanted expense it is to go back to Philippines at this time, I still don't regret resigning from my work. I would not have changed my decision had I known that my visa will not be processed in time. Surely, I will miss my hubby :( but I'm choosing to look at this circumstance as just a small hurdle to a will-be happier life in Dxb.

Yessah, optimistic kung optimistic ang dating!

Yan yan!

Nyam, nyam, nyam! Yey, YAN YAN!!! I get to eat Yan Yan again after so many years... Its magic is not lost on me at all. Masarap talaga ang Yan Yan. Nakakatuwa pa ang mga wala lang na words na nakalagay sa mga stick biscuits. Nonsense lang; parang itong blog post na to. hehehe!

i'm leaving hell :D

Finally, I'm resigned!!!

thank you, Papa Jesus for enabling me to leave a toxic, stagnant, pana-filled workplace...

Flatmates in Wonderland

Springtime in Dubai is like summer in Philippines hence, the perfect time for swimming! We finally got the time to enjoy the sun, have fun in the water & get wacky on the slides before the dreaded Dubai summer, which is synonymous to hell (probably) hehehe...

wonderful time @ Wonderland with Momon, Deej & Roy, Debz & Ice, Lhai & ate ni Lhai (Salvo) =D

walang tawiran...

People say that Filipinos are pasaway… that we really find it hard to follow even the simplest of rules. Evidently, it is quite true coz even if there are signs like this plastered over Metro Manila, people would still do this:

Here in Dubai, people find it very hard to jaywalk. Main reason is the roads are divided by fences or hedges so even if you want to cross it, you’ll just be stuck in the middle. Secondly, even if you get the guts to climb the fence, police will be all over you before your feet land to the other side; thanks to the CCTV cameras all over the place (and yes, Dubai police officers really watch it somewhere near by). Then they’re gonna ask for jaywalking fine of Dhs. 500, which if you cannot provide will land you in jail for three days. That is why in footbridges we shall cross. \m/

Despite all these, there’s this one road in Dubai that is very easy to cross without using the pedestrian lane:

AL RIGGA ROAD

Last night, Momon & I went to Deira City Centre to pass the time and to eat dinner. We were already looking for a place to eat when I realized that what I crave is bulalo from Tipanan, a Filipino restaurant near our place in Rigga Road so; we hastily leave DCC, rode the metro, go down at Rigga station and walked to Tipanan. We got our bulalo to go and crossed the street, not bothering to use the pedestrian lane coz it’s ridiculously far from where we were. We were on the middle of the 2 roads, and I was thinking how nice it is to walk on the grass and how it’s a good thing that Dubai has the facility to maintain the growth of the trees even during the sweltering hot of summer when suddenly I heard a swooshing sound. The next thing I know, Momon & I are being drenched with water coming from the automatic sprinkler! We can’t immediately cross the other road for the traffic is still moving so we just stand there, laughing while getting showered with water (which I hope is clean and without fertilizer); thanks to you, grass sprinkler. Hwehehe…

Pasaway kasi e! Hmmm… now I want to make an appeal to Dubai Government. Better put this sign in Rigga Road:

WALANG TAWIRAN, NAKABABASA

:oP

parang tanga lang
