TAR 5, Manila and Calories

Wednesday, 9/22
It was a blessing that I have an official travel to Manila last Thursday. I was able to watch the live telecast of TAR5 over Studio 23 last Wednesday. Travel time ko kasi that day. It was good to hear the contestants gave comments like "wow!" "This place is amazing!" when they went to El Nido. It made me proud.

I would like to write something about Brandon Davidson, Nicole's partner in TAR. Brandon is the perfect boyfriend. I want him for Christmas!!! (I want Jun forever) He is so patient with his whiney girlfriend, Nicole. And he is soooooooo HOT!

Thursday and Friday, 9/23 to 9/24
I was in Manila. Allergy rhinitis strikes again. Hay, I really cannot survive in Manila. After my business in the Central Office, my boss and I went to INS Makati. Yup, magma-migrate na sila. They are scheduled for an interview on November and if they pass, they will be saying goodbye to Pinas next year.

We went to SM Makati to shop but I was not able to buy ( I can not afford pala) anything. I want to buy a pair of shoes sana for my badminton but my money was not enough for the New Balance I was eyeing. P3.500.00 I only had P3,000.00 to spare. Hay, ang tagal ng bonus!

Saturday and Sunday, 9/25 to 9/26
Balik bahay na. My cousin Donna and I played badminton for 1 1/2 hours. We were laughing all the time and I bet we burned 2x the calories from laughing than from playing. We were so determined to burned all the calories we accumulated from the "lamon sessions" we had. Playing badminton will burn an average of 400 calories per hour. So roughly, we burned some 600 calories but according to Donna, we accumulated some 1000 calories from our "lamon sessions" pwera pa breakfast, lunch and dinner. Hay, it is so hard to lose weight!

Here are some photos of Din Din and April taken during the weekend.

My so called lovelife

I am currenctly with Junjun right now. His real name is Reuben, Jr. How do you pronounce that? Reeyu-ben? Roo-ben? Ro-ben? I should ask Reuben, Sr. I like to call him Junjun because he acts (using my personal evaluation system) like one. He's such a baby!

When I introduced him to my friends, 4 out of 5 commented something like this: Mas mabait ata sa iyo ano? Whoa!!! Now it can be told, hindi talaga ako mabait!

Where together now for more than a year and we are matanda so everyone I know keeps on asking when are we tying the knot. Bakit ba sila nagmamadali? He wants to go abroad pa raw at ako naman, I still have some unfinished businesses I want to do as a single. If we can still stand each other (dapat ata love) after our unfinished businesses, then we can jump into the pit.

Who am I?

I was awarded the Caligula Award during one get-together (we like to call it our first reunion but unfortunately, hindi na nagkaroon ng second, third and fourth- or baka I was not invited waaaaa!) with my high school classmates. So that you will not ask Mr. Google, Caligula, ladies and gentlemen, is a Roman Emperor. Impressive ha? Wait until you read the next sentence. That same Roman Emperor is also described as crazy in our World History textbook (by Zaide???) because he appointed one of his horses as senator. Paging Joyce and Twinkle (the award committee) and all my high school classmates, am I really that crazy? Id like to believe that I was a perfectly normal teen back then. I was talkative but I was not/am not crazy!!!

I was a crazy (still cant admit it) teenager but a painfully shy child. You can ask my Aunt Liling. During one of our New Year’s Eve parties, all kids were requested (and paid) to sing or to dance. My cousins danced and sang to the glee of every adult relative there. But when my turn came, to the dismay of my very proud Nanay, instead of singing, I wailed! I seem to melt when in a crowd back then. I also have a photo during the dreaded Linggo ng Wika program singing but teary-eyed because of fear.

Look now, the shy kid and the crazy teen are gone. Here comes jona, the twistedly delicious adult!
