I'm closing yet another chapter in life and it is a pleasure for me to open up a new page to write the story. I guess this time it's no longer just MY story, it's OURS. (Not that I don't share bits and pieces of what's going on with my love life.) You guys pretty much are in the know of what's going on in that department.

I don't think it's just a coincidence that it happens to be the LOVE MONTH, the YEAR OF THE METAL RABBIT, or that it was our anniversary a few days ago when Noodle Boy gave me his HEART set in stone. AHA! I bet you know what I'm going to say now, don't cha?

Who says Halloween is the only time to dress up? The Annual Christmas Party of the Barks & Co. was yet another success. For my new readers, Barks & Co. is my barkada, the ultra solid circle of friends whom I trust with all my life. I found them and have been with them for the past decade of my life. You could say they're like my brothers and sisters. Anyways, so this year's theme was MOVIE CHARACTERS. We were supposed to dress up as our favorite protagonist/antagonist of our favorite movies.

I didn't quite expect everyone to give it their best (although I couldn't hide the excitement as I prepared for the night!) and was very happy how the night turned out to be.

From last year's Hip Hop Theme to this year's Movie Buff theme!

If you've been following me at Twitter from the beginning, let's say for the past 644 days, you would know that my everyday life is nothing but a live-for-the-moment kind of thing. I know I have to plan for the future one of these days, but hey, I still don't see myself getting married very soon. I have found the man I wanna spend the rest of my life with and the man I can't live without; however, marriage is a whole new world (or should I say completely different galaxy) and it's not something I want to rush into. Okay? No amount of convincing from anyone will make me change my mind, unless of course, I won that 700M lotto then getting married surely would no longer be an issue.

Okay, I'll tell you why. I want to get married for the right reasons.

I apologize for not updating this blog so much. My days are so hectic, not just because it's the Holidays, but because I've considered career changes as well as other things a girl has got to do to eat survive. Aside from all that, I also have a role to play in the community now...

This may sound weird to most of you but I just had my first M. Lhullier moment! *fist pump* Weeee! Also I am aware that this may not mean anything to anyone but to me, it does. Because now I don't have to deal with Paypal and pay such exorbitant fees. With XOOM (yup, xoom.com) it's so easy to get my ka-ching hassle-free! Shout outs to Peachy of Innuendo for all of these!

Many of you should know by now that tomorrow is D-DAY for me. Yes, I am running for office... as a barangay kagawad/councilor. I know it's not like the most grandiose or prestigious position but we all have to start somewhere, right? It doesn't mean because it's a teeny weeny bit of status that I won't be able to do much. I beg to differ.

Penny for your thoughts?

 

Tonight was a night like no other. Well, it wasn't as bad as that incident with the crazy lady back in 2008. But this was quite the adrenaline-pumping action I just needed to get the Cobra out of my system. I should stop drinking that stuff late in the day because it gives me insomnia at night.

A story of change... and no, I didn't attempt to write it in Tagalog! =P

First off, let me tell you that as a night owl, this is the first time this year that I have woken up this early. I don't think I can ever be a morning person. But for the sake of photography, I found myself taking part of Scott Kelby's 3rd Annual Worldwide Photowalk in my dear hometown, Ormoc City.



1,111 areas / 33,483 photographers according to Scott Kelby.

And so because the celebrant was so busy running around and taking care of Mamerta's Cocina, she didn't get a lot of pictures taken. But we did! ^^,

So good to be around family & friends.

Happy Bithday Mamerta! & Happy Anniversary to you and Poppa Jimmy!

Location: Foodstreet (3.7.2010)

A night with my parents, my boyfriend, my childhood BFFs who are back in town for a visit (Marjorie & Marchette) trying out the frozen iced tea at Mamerta's Cocina, and crashing the soft opening of The Jeneral store soon to open across Maybank.

Just your normal night out in good ol' O. C.

^_^

Honestly, I haven't been to the lake for 8 freaking years! So it's been a really looooong time. T_T

We missed the turn and almost ended up farther up (in Gaas?) but good thing we figured we were heading to no man's land so we turned back and eventually found our way back to the other side of the lake... Whew! The woods can be tricky sometimes...

Take nothing but pictures.
Leave nothing but footprints.
Kill nothing but time.

RameNoodles invade Lake Danao!!! ♥

Lots of pictures to tell the story. Wait for them to load.
