... for the year. :)




Hello!

Me Again!

Me Always!

Me Already!

As always, documenting an eventful, insightful and foolish day. Making this very blogsite a repository in case someone needs a recall. haha

Yesterday we went to Quisao ulet to join Sonet's 4th Birthday Celebration.
The meeting place was at Mc Donalds near Sta. Lucia Mall Cainta at 10am.

I was there at 9:48AM.
They came 11ish.
Read a good 3 chapters of Mockingjay before they finally came. (By the way, I recommend this book, the trilogy of course, especially to those who loved Battle Royal. I think it will be epic on the big screen. Come March and 'The Hunger Games' movie will be released.. hahahaha)

As usual, may sariling sasakyan and royal couple (bornats and mary) and as usual ulet 'nakihitch' ako sa starstruck ultimate love team (carlo and mitch)

Dinaanan namen ang 'THE MONARCHS' (Ae and Marah with very cutie baby Yienne, naiisip ko pa lang si yienne nanggigigil nako) hahaha...

Unfortunately, di pala nasabi ni Carlo na merong exchange gifts and them being Monarchs had no time to check each messages sa FB. hahaha

So we stopped by a charms store named 'IVANKA'S TREASURE'. Alam na!

After taking all in what we have just seen, we headed to QUISAO.

It's around 2PM when we reached Quisao.

Pahinga konti.
Playing with Yienne, a very happy baby. Nababadtrip lang pag ang tagal nakaupo ng may hawak sa kanya.
My inaanak have those curious eyes and a very firm grip. :)
Always smiling din sya.

Then Sonet Dale's Party time. Thomas and Friends Theme. The holies were in cute Thomas shirts. :D

Si Olive ang host. Sabi nya ako daw opening prayer.
Sabi ko ayaw ko.
Sabi nya "for the opening prayer may we call ninong Alex" on the microphone.

DEYM!!!

So I did the opening prayer.
Nervously.

hahahaha

There are kiddie games of course.
And for adults.
We were invited to join Pinoy Henyo game.
I teamed up with Bornats.

The word was "katawan". (KATAWAN is actually the title of the song the celebrant performed during their school presentation).
I was able to get the word naman few minutes before forever... hehehed (2min).

Di naman kami nanalo. The other team got the mystery word 'BIRTHDAY' in 20 seconds or so...

Tomjones nako.
hahahaha
actually kami lahat.
Di pa kami naglunch... hahaha nagiimikan pano sasabihin na tomjones na.

THEN its buffet time.
awesomeness...

nauna ako sa pila. sumunod na ako agad sa mga ate ni sunny.
Sa likod ko ang royal couple.

di ko alam na may VIP treatment pala kami.
pagpasok ko sa bahay ng royal couple eh may nagseserve ng food sa MONARCHS and Starstruck ultimate love team..
ohokey! kayo na!

so there.
we had lechon...
menudo
lechon ulet
di ko alam tawag na ulam
lechon ulet
pancit
lechon
spaghetti
lechon
lechon
and another lechon
sira ang diet.. hahaha

then kwentu kwentuhan
picture picturan na may konting laglagan ( di na ata to mawawala)

then the much awaited exchange gift... which by the way is something that best describes yourself.

DISCLAIMER: Ung gift ko eh nabili ko couple of weeks before it was decided na ganun ung theme ng gift. So I insist that my gift does not describes me at all. haha

We used the new bunutan system we came up with nung nagdampa kami. That is kung ano ang gift nang pangalan na nabunot mo will be given to the person to your right.

And they have this rule na kelangan iexplain, you know, the kind of thing they do during a 'prayer class' where u speak and the people will clap and sing alive-alive.. ganun ba ung dating. harharhar

We begin these almost-non-sensical rotation of gifts with Dolls. Dolls pick was Bornats which will be given to ME as I stand next to Dolls, on her left. It was a mini USB speaker. A red one. :)
Why Speaker?
Bornats: Kasi naghahanap ako ng speaker.
All . "ano daw?"
Bornats: Kasi nga naghahanap kami ng speaker.

So ayun speaker best describes Bornats at that very moment. ohokey!

Then it's my turn. My pick was Marah. The person on my left was Mitch.
It's a lucky charm, an arwana made of gold coins.
Do we need to say why this describes Marah? hehehe
Mitch loved it. In fact she mentioned about lucky charms on our way to Antipolo. And she got it!!
see?! moments like these just shows how the universe conspires to give you what you want.. hahahaha... it might sound so material but shaking the paradigm, we can say it still applies. :)

Then next to Mitch was Carlo. Mitch pick was the conjugal gift from the Holies.
It was an umbrella.
I first thought because its blue and the Holies wear blue?! hahaha
But the simplest reason and a very heartwarming one is - because we provide shelter.
Alam na kung san pupunta pag wala kang shelter. Deym! My moneys on this.. T-H-E-Y W-I-L-L P-R-O-V-I-D-E !!!
(hahahaha kidding)

Then Carlo's pick was Marycel and on his left was Ae.
Ae got a headset.
Why headset?
sorry.. hahaha i didn't catch this one. All i remember was because Marycel was a good listener.
oh diba?

Then on Ae's left was Marycel and Ae's pick is actually himself.
Marycel got another charm. This time a dragon.
Sorry ulet I wasn't listening closely to Ae, di ko alam ulet bakit dragonny charm. Maybe because like his wifey, lucky!

Then sino pa ba ang dapat katabi ni Marycel?
Marycel's pick was Mitch.
Bornats received the 'pahirap mirror' from Mitch.. hahaha pahirap talaga?
di naman masyado that's just how i see things na kailangan pa iassemble.
Why Mirror?
One word mitch gave us. VANITY.

Then Bornats pick was ME and on her left was Marah.
Marah received a 'NANO Block'.
alryt alryt
let me just tell you what nano block is just in case walang idea.
NANO BLOCKS are actually a toy puzzle very much similar to a LEGO but on a smaller/tiny scale. Its like a super miniature lego.
enough said.
ulitin ko lang, i bought it October pa.

Then Marah's pick was Carlo and on her left was Dollie.
Dollie got a pillow.
Why Pillow?
Si carlo kasi masandal tulog.
nakakatulog kahit nagddrive... :|

So there. natapos din ang exchange gift.

a little later... there is a very nice looking dessert being served.

blueberry bits and sauce on top.
perfectly whitish layer on top of the brownish crust.
A BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE!
texture was perfect.
the kind that you can order from somewhere.

BUT TO EVERYBODY's SURPRISE. gawa ito ni Dollie..
Owss???

Well apparently yes... we have a dessert chef. kung ano man ang tawag dun.
Sweetness/'Cheesyness' needs a little push.. hahaha ako na ang cheesecake connoisseur (tama ba spelling? pasensya na mahilig lang sa matamis! hahahaha.)
Perfect ang texture and i love the crust! :D
Good Job Dollie! pero hahanapin ko pa din kung san mo nabili! hahahahaha bad ko!

After devouring ourselves with the desserts (there's another salad, fruit and buco salad by Sunny), we decided to play the Pinoy Henyo game.
