pics from last december

Yah i know, my entries recently are very late when compared to the actual dates when things that i wrote happened. Ok, this will be my last entry about last year. I just don't have the time to write the soonest. :P

I've already mentioned last year (hehe) that i was going to attend two weddings in December last year (hehe again). So here are some moments captured. The church pics, entourage and all other essential photos will not be posted here. I reserved the right of the couples to showcase those pics in their own online albums/sites. :)

Wedding1
December 20. Joanna & Raymond. San Isidro Church in Talamban. Reception @ Tabur Hills Talamban. Jo & Moi are both classmates in college. Momoi graduated Magna Cum Laude in our batch. (gifted child!) He's in Malaysia currently. Joanna will follow as his dependent.

Wedding 2
December 21. Nonie & Anne. Sacred Heart Church. Reception @ Chatteu de Busay. Nonie is my officemate. Their motiff was fruits and flowers. The group/band 3rd String serenaded the guests. They were awesome. One of the guitarist is the brother of my friend Carlota.

the reception has actually a nice view, dili lang maklaro sa pic :)

Talking about late stuff, here's the winner of all winners. This could pass up for a valentine gift already - my christmas gift from Manita Chikai. Hehehe! Finally, I received my gift yesterday. (grabee ka finally) Thank you very much Chikai. I should be slimmer to wear the sleeveless. LOL! :P

taoist temple revisited

It's been like what? 15 years or more? - since the last time i went to Taoist Temple - one of Cebu's few tourist spots! heheh! Well, of course not to mention the beautiful beaches. Geezz i'm that old! I still can exactly remember what i wore in my last picture then - a white shirt and a mint green pedal shorts. I was sporting a short/boy's cut hairdo. Though i can't remember how we get there and what's the occassion and who i was with? But most probably, i must be with my sisters and cousins. I can't seem to find the picture now for a comparison.

After Glorie and I met with Genalyn and company last month, Glorie had to tour around her other friend around Cebu. I accompanied them hoping i could be of help but apparently Glorie and I both sucked being the tour guides. We knew nothing which places to go to! LOL!

Good thing, i had the chance to check out Taoist Temple again. The Gaisano's had made some improvements on the property. It's more spacious too. The nearby temple, Heavenly Temple, brought back childhood memories. Used to go there with elementary classmates just trecking the mountains from Guadalupe Shrine to Lahug.

parties and such

I haven't been to the cyberworld for a week. I'm off from work and i don't have internet at home so it'll mean no blogging.

December 2 - the day after our Department Christmast Party, a few of my girl friends went to Jona's humble abode. We just hang out and ate and chitchatted. Our first time to visit her new house in Consolacion. It was fun. Her house is nice. The houses are nice. The subdivision is nice. Her husband cooked for us. Hehe! By the way, girl friends = girl officemates. :)

December 5 - our section party held at Tong's - a resto famous for its baked talaba (mussels) and oysters. After what seemed like forever of changing venues and etcetera days before the party, we finally concorded.

Dec 8 - our company wide christmas party held at NASA Disco. Unfortunately, i did not stay long as i wasn't feeling well. I had to leave early. Heck! first time my face is nowhere to be found in the group pics! lol! I got one pose to share though.

So basically during christmas season, i usually attend three christmas parties at work. One for the department, another one for the section and lastly one for the company wide. Aint that fun? By the way, thanks to my manita (Aisah) for the cute sling bag. :)

Dec 7 - nothing special. Just "officially" our last working day for 2006. You know bored people do anything for fun... :P


no need for a caption, heller! as usual ga pink ko noh! :D

Since i have nothing to do and i'm not in any way reporting to work - i finished watching 39 episodes of Grey's Anatomy! wahahaha!!!

gug's birthday

Her nickname is Gugs. Quite unique for a name huh! But it used to be Love. Ay katam-is! Once our manager said "does she have other nickname?" Hmnnn must be sensational calling his subordinate Love. An offshore counterpart once said to my male colleague - is she your girlfriend? She must have heard him calling Love all the time. Tsk! makaduda! Seemingly, some of my male officemates find it unenviable to call her Love. I eventually started calling her Gugma. It is not as slushy as compared to the english term right? Well, what do you know, there came the word Gugs! Ain't that hip and cool for someone whose real name is Ma. Fe Lovella? Happy Birthday Gugs! Thanks for the treat! :) --> Trivia: She's got that healthy appetite yet she never gets fat!


sum-ul na kaau ni among nawng duha sige kuyug! :D


nakalugsong man! sa di masayrang rason,

octoberfest '06

Have you ever experience those times when you overslept, say you slept for over 12 hours? You woke up with a severe headache as if your head was hit by a raging stone? Then when you get back to sleep at night, sleep is an elusion? Saturday night was miracle of all miracles, I got to sleep at around 1:00am, that is way much earlier than my usual 2:30am sleeping time. I slept like a baby that I woke up around 4:00pm the next day, sunday. Inasmuch as i was happy I had a good long sleep, i was miserable i woke up nursing a headache. Apparently, my eyes were wide awake last night so i'm like a zombie right now. :P

Going back to the post title, niagi ug nahuman ang oktoberfest nga wala koy nakita nga kalingawan. Activities from previous years were usually held in SM Mall or Ayala Mall. But i guess since these two malls are busy reconstructing (adding new building), they pass up having the octoberfest held in their vicinity. So the octoberfest in Cebu this year was held in Colon, in the old SSS grounds. It was jampacked when I pass by the area but i guess the venue is not too auspicious to the 'conos' if you know what i mean.

Personally, i was never an avid fan of the octoberfest. I don't usually go out on nightouts. But in the long run, i came to enjoy going out once in a while since my peers are up to such events. Here are some photos from last year's octoberfest.


mga models sa RH! murag true sa? :D para lang ingnon nakainom! ehehe!

kumbate! :D

ngano man ka tish? hehehe!
I'm not so sure if this was the SMB octoberfest itself. I think this was just one of the events in Courtyard in The Village. By the way, The Village no longer exist today.

Table 7

Last Saturday was the long over due 'date' courtesy of Gugs - thanks Gugs! We had been planning to check out Table 7 in Ayala but because we always report to the office mid-shift, we never get to do it on weekdays after office hours. Finally, we had the time last weekend. Guess we all needed a break...


lenny & tints (feeling koreana sa ilang posing :D)


me & gugs (bday celebrant ingon ang waiter hehe :P)


they served us breadsticks while waiting for our orders, cute noh? :)


grilled spareribs, gugs said it doesn't look like grilled though :P


my order - fusion of chicken & pork adobo, cute presentation in fairness :P


pork chop, lami siguro nahurot man ni lenny :D


baked chicken with pasta, tints said the pasta taste good :)


waahh jerky hands, dessert man ni nako, chocolate decadence

We got in the resto at 5:00 and finished eating around 7:00. We can't wait for the live band to play at 9:00 so we got out and strolled inside Ayala. Bought some burloloys and ek-eks. Cute akong belt, rocker ko tan-awon! hehehe!

Don't ask me to rate the food because i'm not good at it. I just eat ok? LOL! Bitaw dili pud super lami, dili pud bati. But the place is cozy and the waiters are nice. Nabitin si Gugs sa iyang dessert kay wala cream iyang pineapple crepe! hehe!

Da Vinci

not the code... but the pizza.

The SWV Cutties went out last Monday (Aug 28) for a little gathering at The Vinci Pizza in Marina Mall in LLC. Haayy at least we now have 3 options - MBs, JCAs and DaVinci! As you may know, there's not much place to hang out around here in LLC. There are a couple of restos in Marina Mall but they close as early as 9:00pm. It's good to be with the group once again...

repository of events

I might get anmesia or suffer any form of memory loss so i'll take this blog as my repository of events. Maybe viewing pictures will get me back to my senses. Hehe.. *knock on the wood*

So, i'll be retrieving some posts from my old blog and post it here.

As what my blog title suggests, this blog will contain pictures, pictures and pictures.

Enjoy viewing! :)
