Carcar: coz I used to like YELLOW

Sadly as it may get, my monitor is still under renovation (my oh my) and my whale shark and other island trips are yet to be put on hault.  So moving on, I give you my blah-blahs of Carcar.  It was so way back but a very memorable trip for me.  Very memorable indeed, for it gave me seldom nightmare-ish after the said event and had brought back the same experience I had, w/ Villa Teresita.  It was the sort of same place but the different people involved.  LOL, you'll definitely tell me that this has been the lamest event that had happened to me.  It's a bit scary but same time ridiculous (i know you guys will go for both), okay, I'll cut the crap rope now to make the story short, I almost drowned in a 6ft pool but the catch was, the savior wasn't at first convince that I've been sort of struggling for like 23 years of my existence in the pool for air.  Ms. Johai just thought that we were jerking around and just want some camera attention, took a photo of me yelping and waving my hand in the air for help. While Tina was diligently pushing me down so that she will float (yes, she used me as her floaty), so much for surviving.  After breathing underwater, I could feel Ms. Johai's hand grab my arm and for an instant I was back to reality and Tina was still struggling but on 4ft level.

The thoughts that came to my mind was, this would be my last breath of air and after this, I don't know.  I couldn't leave Tina alone, for she is desperately off balance and trying to not drown in a 6ft pool (she is 5'6" btw).  I could actually, just swam below but I can't leave her, she was totally panicking while some of my friends are finding ways to help us out, which btw, CAN'T SWIM as well.  Flobelle, bravely swam by our side just trailing her fingers on the poolside just not to sunk down and offered her left leg for me but then the current change as Tina was also trying to grab her leg and eventually she is about to be one of us.  Good thing she said to let go of her leg and so I did as I've realized as well that its not gonna give me or Tina ample time to escape from our pool quicksand.  Irish, tried to get the pool cleaner, the net like that is used to get the fallin' leaves on the pool but then to no avail, she will be dragged down the pool due to our adrenaline rush strength and so Ms. Johai was our SUPER HERO.  Thank you Ms. Johai!

As soon, as we've escaped from our ordeal, I've joked around with Tina telling her, "Hwag kang lumapit sa akin, Maawa ka gusto ko pang mabuhay", but that was still a friendly joke.  So ti'l now, everyone knows about that mishap and everyone would tease us esp. Tina.  Everytime we set foot to our outdoor company activities, we always make sure that Tina will be safe first, we give her the ORANGE.  

Though, with that experience I've still got the time of my life.  Sort of fulfilled my long life dream for adrenalin rush (oh well i did get the adrenaline rush that i've supposedly deserve but not that way, please), CLIFF DIVING but this one ain't no cliff but I did made a splash.

Photo bombing AWAY!!!

our SUPER HERO: presenting Ms. Johai

This was the event wherein Janice shouted, the clue for her suspected Manita and that she thought was Cleofe but sadly I have already the knowledge that it was ME and so I just kept mum bout it.  And when it was her turn, she deliberately shouted in the crowd, "I THINK SHE LIKES YELLOW" then sashaying her ebony hair to Cleofe who was in deep shock that she received 2 gifts on that time.  Everyone was giggling now and so I just came forth and grabbed the gift and said "ITS ME! AND YES, I USED TO LIKE YELLOW" everyone now is bursting with laughter hence I told her by the time she had a talked with Christine in the CR regarding her Manita that she was suspecting some one and elaborately talked bout how the Manita drew something in the paper which I did draw the bag (LOL Janice).  But, Janice wasn't the only victim there, I was  a victim of Irish, in which she knew all along that she was my Manita and so she accompanied me to buy the mouse that she wrote in the wish list.  I've even told her that I think it was Ara (ikr, how stupid am I), that's why when I've chosen the cheappy laser mouse while she sort of convince me to choose the expensive one (no idea at all), but sorry Irish, my money- my rules, so I've bought the cheappy one but still, I've kept up with her wishlist.  So after discovering that she was my Manita, another burst of laughter ensues.  This is one memorable team outing.  Thank you , thank you for the fun.

Running with my DECEMBER...

There's no month like December-my December.  While writing this, am wishing with my seemingly gleeful smirk that its December (wake up call! its still June; i have 6 more months to count).  IKR, you also love this month hence comes lots of VLs (yay!vacation leaves for us who are working with our aching backs and getting psyched with the humungous digits of sales), gifts duh??? its Christmas and for me its my month. 

Back in my renegade elementary years, anyone with cha-ching ($$$) in your class will celebrate birthdays in the classroom (dunno how our homeroom teacher/s squeezed it in with our academic sked).  Either have food prepared or if they are soooooo overly abundant with the cha-ching they have what we call a program.  So I had it instilled in my head that it should be that way once your birthday is up, but sad to say my burthday (yes you should enunciate it with an air popping out as the tip of your tongue touches the upper teeth; just like most Brits do;LOL) is really way back, yes back end, back door, second to the last as we say or let's correct it third to the last dates of the freakin' DECEMBER.  So most of the time, its unknown to my classmates but I don't have to worry I grow less old with my batch mates (yay! 86-ers TIGERS;we rawr n we rock;rolling of the eyes). 

So much for my novel length explanation for my back door (this is now the official term for loooong anticipated dates) burthday (don't forget the air in the tongue;good;wink).  Oh well, my December 2011 BOOMED like no other:

For the very first time of ancient history (yes its ancient coz i preferred it that way), that I've agreed to host our company's Christmas Party (you might be thinkin' that the crowd went silent DEAD while i was laughing in the middle of the stage;your definitely havin' second thoughts there).  Well,  its not a one woman show though, were like four (thank goodness or I'll be like a dead log amidst the crowd).  Our theme was Mafia.  More of guys going for sleek hairdos and girls going pin ups.  Please take note that I've as well been multitasking here, I'm also one of the participants in our dance showdown in which our concept was MJs tracks (yes, I've made my AWWWWW! moves minus the moon walk and the gravity thing).  To tell you honestly, back in the days were I was a geeky, bookish --ok let's just cut off the crap NERD back then-- I'm amused watching cheerdance, anything that are performed using our body (yes; it always gives me the pink cheeks).  That sort of dream-- came true when I started working---I've been a cheerdancer (give me an L-O-L;LOL!), hip-hop dancer (yeah!SWAG it) and just last year an MJ let's say back up of the back up dancer (AWWW! for that ey-gen). 

Capo De Capei Party 2011

After the smoky (not only my eyes back in the party) Christmas Party, Ken2x, Amy (ey-gen;are you seeing now the pattern?) and I joined Earth Run but were not running (lazy bones) but were one of the Marshals on the said event.  We had the opportunity to be tied up with some known sponsors like ETC 9 (this is the channel that broadcasts your American series here in Phils. for free).  We've invited James a.k.a TM (that's his alias for being a person with multimedia tendencies) and Sunshine a.k.a Sanchai (yes that's Daomingso's chai) and a.k.a Girl @ d back (that's another of the Daomingso kind of thing but his not Dao; i know your confused right now;just leave it as is).  We had fun waving the flags and assisting runners early in the morning, well, actually it was still in the break of dawn.

EARTH RUN 2011

And came forth my burthday (winks).  Ken2x had prepared and loaded layer after layers of SURPRISE revenge for me (his learning from the wise JEDI;winks).  He gave me a handful of books---my fave Stephy books (very good source you've got there Ken2x) and on the next day he treated me to St. James (sort of circus thing with rides).  In which I can't definitely forget the black tide or was it pearl or pirate (i forgot the name of the ship ride) thing, my soul literally separated from my body the very moment it swung its way from side to side hence Ken2x was the one who suggested to be seated at the very tip of the boat.  I think he did it on purpose--my insides are coming out (i can still hear my scream the very moment I'm writing this part of the post).  On the very day he surprised me with a cute cake with a candle and eventually the next day he gave me his ULTIMATE gift ---- PONY (nope its not the live, kicking and neighing thing;its a pair of SHOES) but this time its his share of epic fail coz the size was way too big for me.  He gave me size 8 (am no big foot/yeti).  Good thing, with the receipt still on hand--we can still change it with a different size but same style (thank you sales man; i wouldn't have worn my dream pair of shoes if not for you;pat on the back).  The effort and lots of effort was undoubtedly seen and appreciated by my meek ♥.  THANK YOU KEN2X (with a gusta smile).
