Oh my God.. It's been ages since I last posted... Thanks dear Russ for reminding me... =)

Hmm... How's everyone???? I don't even have the time to check my e-mails.. Update my blog.. Read friends' blogs.. Hayyy.. I need a break...

What I've been up to these past few weeks...
2 Saturdays ago, went to Tito Charlie's birthday party... Endless videoke.. hahaha!!! You know what.. I've found a new favorite from the magic mic.. It's "ALL AT ONCE" by Whitney Houston.. I can very well relate to the song.. Haha!! Sang the usual favorites.. Dancing Queen, Friend of Mine, A Smile In Your Heart, etc... Then spent the night at the Velarde's.. It was Marte's last weekend with us.. It's sort of a despedida weekend for Marte.. He went back to Seattle already.. We miss him na nga e.. I was quite sad when he left.. I just hate it when someone has to leave... It's the company and presence that I miss. I've gotten used to it...
That Saturday night, we played 1-2-3 pass... I ended up with a lot of lipstick on my face.. LOSER! Hahahaha!!! I looked horrible i swear! Slept at 5 in the morning..

Sunday morning, played monopoly with Jam and Ritzel. Lunch was superb! Grilled pork chops.. Mussels, Sinigang sa miso, Prawns cooked in cheese sauce.. Whew!!! Yummmy!!! In the afternoon, had a game.. I can't really say what it's called.. We sorta used the magic mic.. Picked a song at random... Ritzel and I were partners.. Jell and Kuya Mel, Marte and Ate Jv, Jam and Sir Pat... Lipstick marks would be drawn on the face to those who gets the lowest score.. It was so much fun! Hahaha!! Who would have thought that there was a song entitled Barbara Ann!!!??? Hahaha!!! Watched "ALL MY LIFE" for the second time.. I never really liked it the first time I watched it.. I kinda liked it when we watched it again.. =)

Some pictures over that weekend...
**********************************************************************************

Celebrity Crush... (",)

Last Sunday, we went to Paramount theater in Aurora, IL to watch the "Night Of The Champions..." We were given complimentary tickets again... Woohoo!!! Actually, it was only Sarah Geronimo whom I know from the performers that night because we are not TFC subscribers.. (Well, soon I hope...) I was still back home when Sarah won the first prize in Star for A Night.. I even see her then in UST (my alma mater.)

But that night, there's this someone who really caught my attention... It was Christian Bautista.. He was gorgeous! I've been hearing his song (THE WAY YOU LOOK AT ME...) twice from someone's website... I even asked my sister who sang that song, because I really liked it.. And that night, I found out it was him pala... It felt so much better to hear him sing it in person..

But of course, Rachel Ann Go, Sarah, and Mark Bautista were great performers as well... We also met Christian's manager, Carlo Orosa... He told us how popular Christian is now, back home... With the looks and talent he has, I'm pretty sure Christian will go a long way.. LOoking forward to their next concert here in Chicago.. (",)

We even have the same initials.. hahaha!!! C.B. and we're of the same age... Yeah, yeah, enough of this...Hahaha!!!



**********************************************************************************
Jen and Ben???

Are they really dating??? I've been reading in Us Weekly that these two are secretly seeing each other.. Well, I think, Ben never looked this good again since his breakup with JLo.. I hated his scruffy look then.. But now, he seems inlove, and it shows.. Don't they just look good together??? And the smile, it's so genuine.. They compliment each other..

Random Updates...




Friday... Book launching at the Consulate.. The author was a Jewish who stayed in the Philippines during the war.. His companion was kinda teary-eyed while relating their stories..

Saturday afternoon, dropped by at RC.. I was craving for the turon.. But by the time we got there, ubos na.. :( Just bought some of their suman which was really good. Mom also had to buy some other foodstuff.. Dad dropped Jell and I at the gym, where we met the Velarde's and Marte as well.. We didn't stay there for long since they close at 7 pm during weekends.. Dinner at Tita G's house.. Videoke.. Beer.. Took the cab on our way to Velarde's residence... Imagine we were 7 passengers in a cab.. Hahaha!!! Sleepover.. Watched The Ring on cable.. Slept at around two..

Sunday.. Ritzel's birthday.. Went to hear mass at St. Pascal. Spent the whole day celebrating.. Sir Pat, Ate Millet, The Velarde's, Christian (Ritzel's friend) Marte, Jell and I. First stop was Laser Quest.. Arcades.. Air Hockey, Laser Guns..We were running around like a bunch little of kids.. Hahaha!Next stop was Jeeper's.. Well, earlier, Kuya Mel and I tried to google about the place.. We thought it was Jeeper's Creepers.. (from the movie) Hahaha! Kaya pala puro about the movie un nahanap namin info sa internet.. Jeeper's lang pla... Hahahaha!!! Had nachos, pizza, chicken wings.. Yumm! We all tried to fit in at the neoprint booth.. Jell and I tried the little roller coaster.. It was okay.. I miss being a kid.. =) Last stop was at the bowling alley.. It was so much fun!

**********************************************************************************

Crab-mentality...

Last Saturday, when we arrived at the gym, Jell and I tried to proceed at the locker room. We were in a hurry since we only had an hour and a half to do some exercise. The fat lady at the counter tried to stop us.. (Which was kinda odd.. Coz as soon as the employees see us, they would tell us not to show them our card anymore..) The fat lady (who happens to be a Filipina) asked us if we were residents.. We told her we weren't.. I explained to her that our card was given by the director. (Which is really true..) I told her we've been going there for more than a couple of months already.. From the tone of her voice, she was suspecting that we weren't telling the truth, and we were just gatecrashing.. She told me to just leave my card on the counter and get it from her when we're finished.. Kuya Mel learned about what happened.. He argued with her and told her he'd want to talk to the director.. The girl called the director and asked about the card.. To her embarrasment, the director told her that indeed, he gave us our card..

You know what's even more annoying, the other employees who weren't Filipinos never did that to us.. They'd just tell us to proceed right away.. They were friendly towards us.. But this fat lady, (Filipina pa siya ha..) grrr!!! She really didn't treat us well.. I hope she learns her lesson..

*Shared Wreck sandwich and veggie soup at Potbelly's

It's been quite a while...

It has been quite a while since I last posted.. Been very busy these past few weeks..
Anyway, just let these pictures show what I've been up to.. =)

Martin Nievera and Patti Austin's Concert...



It was a dream come true for me to be able to watch two of my favorite singers..What's even better is that we were just a few meters away from the stage.. I've always loved Martin and Patti.. Aside from his awesome rendition of his songs, what I love about Martin is his spontaneity.. There was never a dull moment during the concert.. Guess what??? He even sang OVERJOYED (which is my all time favorite) as part of his Stevie Wonder medley.. Patti was really great as well.. Her version of "It Might Be You" moved me.. Well, actually "Say You Love Me" and "In My Life" also did, but it was really the very first song the struck me most...For their finale, they sang "How Do You Keep The Music Playing" which gave them a standing ovation from the audience. It was all worth it..

***************************************************************************************************************
It Feels Sad To Be Back...

My family just got back from a 3 day camping trip to Zion, Illinois.. At Beach Park particularly.. We were with my dad's officemates and their respective families. It was so much fun!!! I felt sad when we came home while we were there, we didn't have to wake up early.. I could wake up as late as I really wanted to, and sleep late as long as I wanted to as well.. Games kept us busy.. Volleyball, Badminton... Eventhough the water was chilly, we still managed to dip in and enjoy the waves. As usual, I slept with the Velarde's, together with Marte and Sir Pat.. My second fam... On our last day, we headed to Pleasant Prairie to do some shopping.. I got myself a new pair of Nike rubber shoes, which I'll exclusively use in the gym.. =) I got a new pair of paints and slippers as well from Gap, an orange cap from Nike, a black long-sleeved shirt from Banana Rep, a pink V-neck shirt and beach towel from Polo. Yahoo!!! When we got home, I just ate Chinese food for dinner, fixed my bed, and dozed off to sleep.. I slept from 6 pm till 6 am this morning... Whew!!!

I Totally Freaked Out... Thank God For True Friends...

This afternoon, as soon as I got off from the green line train, I decided to drop by Potbelly's and have a sandwich... I tried to call up my dad and tell him to drop by so we could go home together. But I guess he left the office at exactly 5 coz no one's answering. So I just stayed there all by myself. When I went inside, I saw a long queue of customers waiting to have their orders taken.. I was the last one inline. I opened the fridge and took a diet Coke. I tried to call up my dad again but no one really answered.. As I tried to put my phone back in my bag, I noticed that there was this man in front of me waving his phone at me. I pretended I didn't see him.. He ordered his sandwich.. I ordered mine.. I told the lady, "I'll have a wreck please.." As soon as the man heard what I said, he told the lady that he wanted the same sandwich I ordered.. As I waited for the cashier to punch in my food, the man asked me, "How old is your camera phone?" Again I didn't answer.. He was interrupted by a phone call.. I proceeded to my seat and started eating my wreck. After a few minutes, I saw this man take a seat in front of me.. I started to freak out but I didn't show it. He glanced at me quite a few times.. I started to call some friends.. First was Ate Millette.. I asked her if Kuya Rommel was still around and she said he already left for the gym.. Same with Sir Pat.. I asked her why she was still in the office, and she said she still had a lot of stuff to do.. This man checks every single person who leaves Potbelly's. And then glances back again.. Checks if I'm still around.. I tried to call Ate Grace but it was her voicemail that greeted me.. So I tried to call Sir Patrick.. Told him what's happening.. He was already in the train.. He said he'll come back.. Kuya Mel was with him as well..I told them they don't need to because it was inconvenient.. But they insisted.. Told me to just stay because this man might follow me.. I was shaking at that moment.. After a few or so minutes, the man decided to leave. I texted Sir Pat that they don't need to come back coz the guy had left. But they said they'll be coming in a few minutes.. I felt releived when I saw them.. Kuya Mel said I looked "maputla." I was still shaking and my hands were cold.. I said sorry coz they still had to come back and fetch me, but they said it was alright.. They said I made the right decision to call them.. I really did... Thank God For True Friends...
