Godmom and Best Friend Duties

IMG_0045This weekend and the start of my week was a total whirlwind in some ways. For one, I had to rush to SM Magnolia (from Antipolo) to see my childhood friend and give her some 'emergency godmommy kit'. It was honestly unplanned so I literally rushed to Gilmore station on a lazy hour. The trip, though unusually long due to traffic, was really worth it. I mean, just look at the picture on the left. Freakin' adorable!

The wrap wasn't too moist nor was it too hard as a chip; it was full of cheese though and had less mushrooms and pepperoni. Nonetheless, it was still a treat and we enjoyed it while drinking a large serving of Apple and Orange juice mix. Yummy!
Later that evening, I met up with my bestie, Jaycee at SM Taytay where we had dinner at Tokyo Tokyo and had a drink in my room back home soon after. We did nothing special but spending quality time with her (e.g. watching funny videos while pigging out and drinking vodka) is just as good as going on adventures with her and our other bestie, Ge whom, by the way, dropped by at around 3am and brought us food and a movie entitled "PK". It was an Indian film which stars Aamir Khan. As expected it was funny yet full of life lessons. Ergo, it was worth watching till 5am. Haha! Ge still went home as soon as the movie's over, leaving Jaycee and I to sleep.

We tried calling Ge, hoping that he could join us for a bite but apparently he's still asleep so what we did next was kinda 'nice' for our kind. Haha! We decided to take out his portion of the meal and delivered it ourselves only to be left waiting for a long time outside his apartment. It took him so long to open the door that we changed the sweet message we wrote on his takeout bag. Refer to the pic below. HAHA!

Sorry for the language. But yeah. We're still his best girl friends!

Daraitan, Tanay Rizal

WARNING: PHOTO FLOOD AHEAD. 

My besties and I took yet another trek in Daraitan, Tanay yesterday. It was the roughest trek I've been in so far, but it was worth it. 

We started the trek at about 9:30 AM. The road was muddy, rocky, and slippery. All in all, it was a tough and rough one. But we were able to get through those with smiling faces. We trekked almost until lunch time till we decided to stop for an hour to fill our grumbling tummies.

Soon after, we went back on the 'trail' to get to one of the caves. And mind you, the way gets even more difficult, I was even worried how I'd still make it home later on that day. LOL

This is actually my first time to be inside a cave, and it's far different from what I have imagined nor seen at the movies. It was actually better than I have expected and oh, the water was oh so cool but you don't feel chilly afterwards. I never knew that bathing inside a cave could be this awesome.

Nearly an hour later, we found ourselves climbing out of the cave and walking the trail home. But we made a pit stop by the river where we bathed again.

Once we're back to the town proper, we decided to grab some late afternoon snack at a local restaurant before heading back to my bestie's parent's place to shower and prep up to go home. 

I couldn't imagine this day going any other way. This experience has definitely boosted my confidence; there is definitely a sense of achievement in completing a total of 4-5 hours of trekking.

Visiting Jaycee at Work

IMG_0065Last Friday was payday so I decided to visit my best friends Jaycee and Gerald at McKinley Hills. I don't often do this but since I really missed them, I decided to visit Jaycee on her workplace where she's working her 4pm-2am shift.
I knew she was tired and was having some trouble with work so I decided to bring her some Pepero and basically just be there for her. We waited for her until about three in the morning and we headed to our house in Antipolo to get some stuff before we went to Ge's place and drank till 6:30am.
We were all clearly tired and sleepy but though the rest of the night was practically a blur, one thing's for sure and that's I had so much fun bonding with my two best buddies.
I woke up at about 10:30am, showered and sat with Jaycee for a bit while Ge slept soundly in the bedroom. I may lacked sleep but I'm really happy to have bonded with them. The time we spend together is really priceless.
