It's Our First Anniversary!

Hello everyone! What's up? :0

This month, Briane and I celebrated our first year anniversary. People say, "time flies when you're having fun". It's true! I feel like we just laughed (and ate!) our way through our relationship. No kidding. I mean, we've had bad days, LQs, dramas, but at the end of it all, we just laughed (and then ate).

Briane is a natural comic and he said that one of his missions in life is to make me laugh. Exactly how you get a girl! ;) I, on the other hand.. Well, you know!



So, in between transferring to a new account, 2 jobless situations, and 2 hospitalizations, here we are, laughing (and eating!)

Anyway, I'd like to share with you pics from our anniv. I know.. "yawn", right? Well, it's a big deal for me because it's my first time to celebrate an anniversary with the person I'm in a relationship with.  The only other time was a long distance relationship, which really sucked then. Ok, so THAT, plus, you'll see that I am now bigger, rounder, fatter! Maybe, when you're happy you don't care about your figure anymore? NO. I am happy but I do still care about my figure AND health -- all the more now! It's just.. the party invites! Of course I can't say no - it's rude!

Ok, so here -- we had lunch at Tokyo Table. Food was really good except the sushis and sashimis and makis. Ironic that what's supposed to be their specialty isn't their best. I love jap food, and we chose to be there for that reason so it's kind of dissapointing for me. But all's well that ends well. The unlimited dessert! Oh...

who ate more??? ;)

we had to ask the waitress (who's very nice, btw), right?

Briane ate them all! I swear!

the resto. not a great pic quality - this is from a phone cam.

where's my wasabi???

ask me how many times did Briane go for another glass??? ASK ME! hehe..

i had to take a pic with the warrior

Briane's Miley Cyrus look! hahahahhahahaha

full and happier!

Then we headed to Mr. A, at Lower Busay to "chill". It's one of my favorite places in Cebu. The view's just awesome. Their coffee mixes and cakes are not bad as well. Well, too sweet for Briane's taste. We've been there a few times but for that night, we had beers and Crispy Pata. If you wanna go there, bring jackets as it gets cold at night.

we were their first guests!

and you have this for free

dating tip 1: put your phone down! haha

look what we did.....

look what HE did! hahahaha

I love the flavored beer (lemon). Briane went light - he has to drive

we couldn't grin more!

"The truth is sometimes things aren't exactly what you always imagined... they're even better!" One of my faves from the movie What A Girl Wants. I have always imagined what it's like to find someone you can really have fun with, and at the same time, you can really trust during the hard days.. and now, it's all happening.. and it's better! I am one very lucky woman!

Lastly, I want to share what Briane has to say..

Here's to forever! ♥♥♥

Thanks for reading you guys! And thank you for all your messages! And as you can see, I'm ok. And if I'm not, you'd know. I just don't have much time for blogging anymore. But this is hopefully a start.

♥♥♥ LOVE DAY ♥♥♥

Belated Happy Valentine's!!!

In between being at the hospital for a week and rehab, I now have just been able to share pix from Valentine's day. Apologies. Actually, Brian wasn't here on that day as he had to go on a business trip. We saw each other the next day, the 15th (which is our 5th monthsary), at around 2 am. His flight's delayed and the waiting really sucked! Plus my right cheek got soooo big due to my swollen tooth. Talk about luck on love day! I looked funny actually. Ha-ha! Anyway, despite that, I had a blast because I got to spend it with family, at my brother's house. Love was definitely in the air! Check out my pix:



I woke up with this!!! It's from my younger brother, Kab! It's already brown and withered because I just took this photo and obviously, it's been days since Valentine's.. Ü

 



My afternoon Valentine walk with my darling niece, Isla. I was teary-eyed when she picked up a pink flower from the ground, gave it to me and said "Happy VALENTIMES day, Auntie Nangnang.." My heart melted.. I'm so gonna miss her when she leaves.. She's just the sweetest!

Brian and I spent our 5th monthsary at Kab's house (my youngest brother Mac and cousin Titi was there too!) where I cooked Pancit Canton and indulged in some not-so-heavy drinking.

That awesome weekend resulted to my being at the hospital. But, who cares? My love day was spent with some of  the people I truly love and that's all that matters. I miss my Papa though.. :(

Thank you guys for sticking with me! I hope you get all your hearts' desires!!! Here's a big HUG from me to you all! xxx 

My 30th Birthday Pictures

I would like to share with you guys pics from my recent 30th birthday! I celebrated it a lot of times and the conclusion was last Saturday's disco where I danced like there's no tomorrow, my bones are still aching! Whew!

Thirty years on earth is something. I am excited for the future! I can't wait to be 40! Enjoy! xxx

AUGUST 10, 2013

my brother, Kab, treated me to lunch on my birthday! Thanks Kab!!!

This was at Crab King, a Singaporean style restaurant. I told the waiters that it's my birthday and voila, special treatment! Or maybe they're really just nice.. Ü.. Anyway, this is a huge, HUGE crab and it's delish but pricey.

On the night of my birthday, I treated myself to my first love: ROCK N ROLL!!! My friends Vanessa Rhea Labesig and Douey Joy Cagud went to the Tanduay T5 Party. It's in an open field and there was a lot of people. I came to see my favorites Wolfgang and Rico Blanco! I had a blast! Remember Woodstuck? Yup, it felt like it!

Rock N Roll means oily, make-up free face! hahahaha!

AUGUST 11, 2013

I went to see my family in Cagayan de Oro city the next day. This is my birthday cake! It's from Red Ribbon. This is huge and it's cheap at Php 650. We just bought flowerettes. Oh and btw, I was the one who put the candles that's why it's crooked. Decorating isn't my niche.

and the obligatory cake pose! hahahaha! my ate (elder sister)  had dinner catered! thanks te! This is the pic I uploaded on WIWT.

my cousin Hazel, my aunts Jean and Teresa, and my uncle Rey

my cousins dj and damdam - they've grown!!!

This moment right here is priceless. These are my siblings.. I don't know what to do without them..

AUGUST 12, 2013

and the queen of my heart, my mother! I had fun taking pics of her while we're in the hotel. She's the strongest person I know.

 

This is at Seda Hotel. There's triple red alert but it didn't stop us from having fun! My family is the best! Of course we miss our Papa, but I know he's just right there with us, having fun as well! Ü

 

August 17, 2013

And the disco at MO2! It was a bomb! I had to take my shoes off! Actually, I didn't really dance. I was jumping and jogging and shouting - all at the same time! hahahaha! Van gave me my tiara - it was so pretty! It suited douey more but it was mine so I wore it!

Again, THANK YOU!!! It was my best birthday, more than anything because I was with my family! My family rocks! And just like the cliche, I must have done someone right to deserve them.. Godpseed! xxx

Badminton?!

NOT! Because it was a weekend and the courts were full. So armed with rackets and large bags containing our sports shoes, we went to the nearest beer pub. And by near, I meant 20 steps. Why do they have to put a gym and a bar in the same compound anyway? Gosh! We finished just 1 bottle though. Then we headed to KFC for some grub and went to the park to play where a guard told us that it's not allowed. Talk about party pooper. Oh well. It's good to go out before the storm. Here are our pics (click for larger view):

 

yeah, THAT is pineapple! Ü

"we don't even have to try, it's always a good time"  ---  INDEED!

we take turns taking pics.. these were taken by Douey Joy..

and the whitest of them all, douey joy! :)

Have a good one! xxx

Sunday Funday

Crazy, unexpected, cool. I know it's not original (TLC album, remember?) but those are what I'd describe last night. The last time I drank alcohol was February and last night, the not-so-huge amount of it certainly took its toll on me. I wasn't actually really drunk but the hangover was like hell! Man.. What was suppose to be just a chillout night turned out to be one for the books! Gosh! Oh well, I'll just let the pictures do the talking.  

 

You can find almost all kinds of tea blends in here! The interior is super duper cute! It's in IT Park, Lahug Cebu City. One thing though, the chairs aren't comfy. I guess being cute comes with cons. Ü



I had spicy breaded chicken pops (which is so tender and flavorful) and Banana Cocoa Green Tea (which doesn't taste like banana at all!).

my constant dates! HAHAHA

yes, we had time to make delivery! hahahaha

we also went window-shopping!

let the drinking session begin!

had company, Ryan (who's from my hometown, Aurora) and Francis. there's a drunk man who mistook me and Van as his companions and acted like he woke us up and for a minute, I was scared but we ended up just laughing it all off! It was crazy!

I went home aroud 6 am. Tsk.

I hope this happens again! Take care you guys! xxx

IT, Flame It, World War Z

Oh yeah, so basically the title says it all. After a very hectic week, it was chill-out time last Saturday. The plan was actually to just go home and sleep but of course we all know what happened. I was with my constant date lately, Vanessa Rhea. She took my outfit pic and she's good. She told me my blog deserves better pics! Haha! It's true though. Oh gosh if only I have time to take pics outside  my room.. If only I know how to pose and not look awkward in front of the cam.. But I guess that's what makes me unique.. Yeah, I keep telling myself that! Haha!

 

World War Z was a super thriller (Van and I didn't feel sleepy despite being wake for more than 24 hours) but I think Brad Pitt could've done better. I couldn't see fear in his eyes. I couldn't help but compare his acting to that of Will Smith's in I Am Legend. The latter's just beyond amazing. Maybe he could teach Brad a thing or two. Oh well.. Here are our pics:

 



it was cheat day! Ü

she's one of the most honest people i know!

who else?

and another of..

and my outfit.. Ü

 

Enjoy the rest of the week! xx
