Some of my friends and I went to Kawasan Falls to celebrate my 25th Birthday yesterday. To those who have been to that place, you would know that there is a major hiking spree involve. It's my 2nd time there, the 1st time was with Wena when we went there right after shift and I ended up with no undies on my way home hahaha

There were 7 of us yesterday, Dada, Wena, Eds, Michy, Mik, Kim and yourstruly. Everyone got wet and wild except for Mik and his sister Kim, I think they just went there to take unadulterated pictures of themselves hihihi

Eds was the official photographer of the group and I'll just grab pictures from his site the moment he posts it. Wena and Mik gave me a purple elephant as a present, so cute! It has a really long name so changed it to Wik2x hihihi in honor of the parents (Wena & Mike). You might be wondering what dada gave me; he gave me a lovely Timex watch because I don't have a watch for the reason that I use my phone to check the time.

We packed up our things and started hiking back to the road at 4pm yesterday. Got back to Cebu at 8pm and we were all so tired because the ride home was a killer! The moment I got home I went to bed right away to just relax and then shower later but when I woke up it was already 6am hahaha

I Want a Violin!  

Posted by soreal

There is something enchanting and haunting about the sound a violin produces. Listening to it is like being in a trance and a pleasant one. Must be interesting to play it with eyes closed and just get devoured in the music. (sigh) I want a violin and I want to be able to learn how to make beautiful music with it. I want it tomorrow for my birthday but dada already got me my birthday present huhuhu guess i'll have to buy myself a present then. Too bad I already know what I'm buying so there is absolutely no way to surprise myself tomorrow..so sad!

My Cute Little Nephew

We went to home to Butuan to attend the 1st Birthday of my first ever pamangkin. Meet baby Sander, my oh-so-cute nephew! He smells so nice all the time, even his morning breath has none of the adult stink hehe. I don't know why babies smell so nice all the time but i'm glad they do. He is not fat but he eats everything you put into his mouth and he is heavy. I think the longest time I carried him was only about 10 minutes then I gave him to my father.
I bet if baby Sander can talk and you ask him who his favourite person is then he would answer, "lolo". They both share a really tight bond together. My father is the only person who can ever make him stop crying. Everytime he hears my father's voice, doesn't matter what he is doing (even when he is being nursed), he would perk up and crawl towards the voice. My father even has a silly song for him, a lullabye and it is really silly hihi I bet when Sander grows up he would think it's silly too but right now for him it's medicine.

Old Friend and New  

Posted by soreal

Dada and I had dinner last night at Casa Verde with my very dear friend April and her bestfriend Swit. It was sort of my unofficial treat for her 19th birthday. I'm friends with a 19 year old girl imagine that. She's is so much skinnier now and her best kept secret for losing weight is her course (Chemical Engineering). No thank you I would rather sweat it out in the gym. The last time I’m with April was last year and my bf then wasn't dada. I told her last night, "Isn't it strange how the past few years we only get to be together when I’m introducing a new bf?" We both chuckled at the realization. Well I certainly hope dada is the last bf I’m going to introduce her to.

It was her Birthday on the 21st and I owe her a pair of havaianas hehe she will still be here in Cebu when dada and I get back from vacation. I figured it would be better to let her choose which pair she likes so I’ll tag her along to shop for her flops then. Last night I got her a trendy, not-too-girlie bag instead. Oh shoot, I didn't take a picture of the bag so I can post it here.

Birthday Breakfast w/o the Celebrant  

Posted by soreal

It was Dada's 22nd birthday yesterday (Holy Thursday) so this is a late post. He was unhappy about the fact that his birthday fell on a day when society takes a halt in yielding to carnal pleasure. He works in Banawa so he couldn’t be with me and Wena that morning to have an early morning celebration. That didn’t stop us from eating heartily though hehe Wena and I celebrated his birthday with a sizable breakfast at Mocha Blends. I had Carbonara which I absolutely loved, Bolognese which I didn’t enjoy so much and House Blend Iced Tea Wena had Australian Beef Stew, Napolitana and Strawberry Kiwi. We never intended to gorge so much that morning but we did anyway and we went home each feeling queasy. That explains why I wasn’t able to post this yesterday instead.
