best valentines ever!

Turon and I had our very first Valentine’s Day date ever in the 7 years of our relationship! Yey! He usually gives me flowers, this year was no exception but we don’t really celebrate the occasion by going out on a date. However, this year, we had a Valentine’s Day lunch date at Italiannis! Yum!




Continuing with my valentines day, my shift mates and I decided to go on a group date since we were all stuck at work and can’t have dinner dates with our respective significant others. Roy, Volt, Derick, Gabz, Ivo Gladz, Jam and I braved walking through Ayala and went to Glorietta to eat at Tender Bob’s (Jam and Derick were craving the pork spareribs). Unfortunately, when we got there, the Tender Bob’s stall was already replaced with another resto… that’s how lucky we were. We then decided to eat at “Binito’s” (Aveneto), waited there for almost an hour to be seated but it looked as if we were in for another 30 minutes of waiting so we finally decided to eat at the food court! So much for our fancy Valentine’s dinner!

Seats were crappy, food was so-so, but nevertheless we still had a blast which proves that we really know how to have fun no matter what situation/place we are in! J After which our “Daddy Volt” was supposed to buy us cake (well, actually buy Gladz a cake) but again unfortunately, most cakes were already sold out! Lahat ba ng gusto natin ay hindi talaga matutupad??? The cake was changed to a gallon of ice cream, again changed to a scoop of ice cream for each and finally to a Jollybee sundae for each! Thanks Volt! Hahaha! Our misfortunes didn’t end there, Landmark was already closing up by the time we got there, we actually ran for the door since the metal gate was already going down! It stopped when it was time for Derick to pass… hmm… maybe Manong Guard got a sense of the royalty that was to pass (our queen bee according to Ivo… Luv yah Dek!) Moving on, passing through Enterprise and the underpass, all the escalators were already turned off!!! Jam was wrecking havoc on the Enterprise escalator! (May construction!!!) By the time we got back to the office, it was already 9pm and we were all tired and sweaty.

Valentine’s day is supposed to be celebrated with the people that you love and I’m very happy that I was able to do so! Luv yah Turon! Luv yah guys! Mwah! Mwah! Tsup! Tsup!

technical rant

It’s really frustrating when you are doing your best yet you keep making mistakes!!!

When you’re trying to prove that you can do it independently, life will find a way to prove the exact opposite.

Sorry life, I’m not done trying to prove it just yet!

usermod sucks!!!

maybe...

Few days back, someone asked Turon the perennial “abroad” question:

Officemate: May balak ka ba mag abroad someday?
Turon: Wala naman
Officemate: You must be earning well. The reason why some people don’t have plans to migrate is oftentimes because of the good compensation they get here in Manila
Turon: D naman sa ganun…

Yep, still no plans…

Officemate: Nakarating ka na ba sa ibang bansa?
Turon: Nope, not yet
Officemate: Ah! That must be the reason. Pag nakarating ka na sa ibang bansa, pag balik mo sa Pilipinas you would wish to leave again
Turon: Maybe…

Now that has got me into thinking.

Turon and I, when asked if we want to migrate in the future, without hesitation we say no. But then, she made a valid point… Maybe we just don’t know what else is out there. Maybe more opportunities are indeed present outside of our beloved polluted, crime infested, corrupt country.

Maybe...

signed! sealed! delivered!

Yup, it’s finally official! After almost a month of wondering and hoping… :)

Another great big step (exaggerated ba?) for Freya and Turon... well... mostly for him! Side effect lang sakin. Excellent side effects though!

Great things really do come to those who do not wait! Hehehehe.

realization and facts

First few days of the year and I am not feeling well. This morning I had my 2nd asthma attack after 1 year of not having one. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. This country is getting way too polluted for me… hay naku… but still, thoughts of leaving the Philippines still hasn’t entered my mind. Hehehe.

Anyhow, I just opened my Friendster account and while I was getting my daily dose of “stalking” I realized that many of my high school and college friends are getting married if they are not already married. Yep, our batch has officially entered the “marrying zone”, like the “debut-zone” during our first-second year of college only this zone is life changing. Add to that, some even have pictures of their kids as their primary photo in Friendster. Gawd! I’m kinda feeling old right now… honestly, my mindset is still on “new-college graduate” but then, I realize this. Time really does fly!

Moving on, fact is, I am and will continue to be swamped with work and responsibilities at my job this year. Yep, I know that and that is the cold truth. Yet somehow, I seem to still not be busy! Yes, this is me again, PROCRASTINATING! I know I should start working on some things already, get a good headstart, but I just can’t. I’m still on the holiday-vacation mode even though I had been working (on-shift) since January 1! I need to get out of this funk and really start working!!! GISING FREYA! MAGTRABAHO KA!!!!

Hmm… maybe I’ll start on Monday… Hehehehe.

First is a new watch from Turon. Love you babe!
Second is a nw phone!!! At last! This one is a combo gift from Turon, my dad, my mom, my aunt and myself. Ehehehe. Tulong tulong dba? Naawa na talaga sila sa phone ko.
