We're going to Baguio!

In my previous post I was getting all excited about our trip to beautiful City of Pines. Sad to say, the greeting that we got really wasn't that lovely. By the time we got to the Lion's Head in Kennon Road, it started to rain. Still rained when we got to Camp John Hay. So we decided to eat at the Commissary in John Hay... Dencio's was the only feasible option. We were sixth in line, and they were all big groups, so we decided to eat at SM (Hahaha, I know pumunta lang ng Baguio para lang mag-SM, how ironic.). But there were still a lot of people because it was a Mallwide 3-day Sale. Still we ended up eating at Dencios (sana inantay na lang namin yung turn namin sa John Hay). By 3 or 4 pm, it rained really hard, as in zero visibility. So it was a good thing we were their so we wouldn't get bored. By 4 pm we went looking for the house we booked for the weekend. It took us probably an hour and a half to actually look for the place.

By the time we got there, we were all tired because most of them were in the graveyard shift. And they wanted to sleep. Anyway, by 8 pm some of the group decided to buy stuff at the night market in session road. So I had an hour and a half to take a rest and just talk before me and Kuya Tony down a bottle of tequila :P (yes 2 lang po kami, and by 1 am ako na lang mag isa). By 10 pm, more or less some people went to bed but at that time things got to be fun. hahahahaha in what way? just imagine a colleague dancing the locomotion. And this was just after an hour or so of drinking vodka. It was so much fun that by the time I woke up at 630 am, my stomach was full of gas (ganun katindi...).

On to the next day, itinerary (which I planned out to save gas)...
1) Strawberry Farm (first time to get here but it's too bad they won't let you pick strawberries anymore... should've done this years ago...)
2) Lourdes Grotto (Huzzah! i climbed the 100 steps, but I had several pitstops :P)
3) The Mansion (siyempre parang kelangan naman ata puntahan yun kahit sa labas lang)
4) Wright Park (have to post the picture of Jay looking like Juan tamad waiting for the Guava to fall down but instead it was a sunflower... looks really hilarious)
5) Mines View Park (so most people were doing their shopping here but honestly, they're a lot cheaper in Maharlika Complex)
6) Good Sheperd Convent (Ubeeeeeeeeeee Jaaaaaaaaaaaaam... long line but definitely worth it)
7) Maharlika Complex (Shopping for pasalubong galore!!!!)
8) Burnham Park (meet up for meeting... -_-)

So what was this meeting all about? I definitely want to put this here... So our dear supervisor actually wanted to go home after we finished our itinerary (she told me that while we were in mines view...) imagine my shock, but I didn't mind it because it wasn't my manager who wanted to go home. By 4 pm she sent us an SMS saying that we had to go home. -_- she did that while we were having fun shopping in Maharlika. Honestly, we were so pissed off that I ignored here SMS' and her calls. *sigh* Anyway it was decided that 4 of them use the other van and we'd cram ourselves in our van (11 people!). Enough of the fight... everybody reached a resolution. But of course we were pissed big time. But after that we still had fun shopping around :P I bought a faux louis vuitton bag for just 280. ehehehe saw a second hand genuine one for like 5k, kudos for fake ones ^_^.

Anyway by 3 am, we left for Manila and we got here before 9 am. Huzzah for kuya tony! I actually had a good time there. I was able to relax, save for the stress I experienced when they wanted to go home. I got to laugh a lot and genuinely forget about work ever for a little bit. Save for the aspect that I got drunk and... hmm... :P it's a good thing that he wasn't the person I actually sent an SMS to. But thanks to my trustable kuya, you showed me the light! :) what would I do if you weren't there. So now, I'm totally sober... and trying to finish this post :P hahahahahaha Ciao!

Looking forward to the long weekend and...

*stretches from one side to the other* *yawn*

Holiday on May 1. Leave for May 2 was approved. Certainly feels good that I'll be taking a break from work even for 2 days. I'm also looking forward to the trip that me and my teammates are going to take this weekend. Too bad he won't be coming... hahahahaha (my secret to keep). Wanted him to, but he had prior commitments. `Sides we're just friends (ang plastic no?).

Honestly hope this is going to be a good weekend. *prays to God* "Please please please don't let it rain this weekend" Just want to enjoy, have fun, de-stress, even just before I start training people and the Cluster 5 roll out this June. Just thinking about it is starting to stress me out. shigaretto! shigaretto! lots and lots of it! I'm making a promise to myself that I am going to enjoy this weekend, no matter what happens! :) :) :)

OK! this may seem superficial but I have to put this in. WT... Jennifer Anniston and John Mayer?! Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey engaged?! ZOMG !!! Paula Abdul saying she didn't like the first song and then liked the second song for an AI finalist? But he only sang one song... ADIIIIIIIK! I just can't help it, especially when you're watching E! News. I admit I am a Hollywood chismis addict. I can't help it! I just want to see some sort of flaw in those people that live oh-so perfect lives. hahahaha! So much for wishing other people good. And now I see my crush Fall out Boy bassist, Pete Wentz getting engaged to Ashlee Simpson?! Nooooooooooooo!!!! Another dream shot down. But wait, most Hollywood marriages have an average life span of 3 years. Look at what happened to her sister, and his comment about her "kinda like a super assistant that you can have *bleep* with" *nod me* pede pa... *evil grin*

Ok, isn't this is just plain irritating? Would a guy in his right mind send you SMS's like:

"Do you know what happens when you hurt people? They may begin to love you less and worst they begin to forget that they loved you once..."

"I guess love does fade. That sometimes the heart does get tired of longing. Of hoping. That sometimes, you just have to accept the fact that some things can never be and that you should be contented with things as they are. Leaving is a choice. But can never really ask someone to stay or to leave. It's a choice they have to make for themselves and sometimes, no matter how much you beg someone to stay or how hard you try to make someone leave. You really have no control on what they choose."

*keeps calm* as they would say, SMS lang yan! stop over analyzing the whole thing. *frowns at herself* this is so bad for me. I am not Joe the Mango and I am definitely not Dr. Love. But I could volunteer as a replacement for the girl who did that to you *gulong gulong*

Anyway, change topic. I want to watch "Sex and the City" the movie. Definitely something that I would really want to watch, I've been a fan of the show since... forever? I actually cried when I watched the last episode, that's because Big and Carrie got back together in Paris and also I wanna know how Samantha's younger model BF, cause he was so sweet.

Speaking of movies, I don't get why Robert Downey Jr. is IRONMAN. I just don't know why. Though I can't really think of a guy that should portray IRONMAN, but he definitely didn't cross my mind as the lead character. Maybe they're trying the cost-benefit theory wasn't just working for them. Till next post then!
