in davao

and here i thought i wasn't going to hook up to the net until january 6. well, as planned, we celebrated Christmas with my lola and other relatives in Leyte. Lola turned 88 on december 26 pero nung 25 kami nag-kainan. =) and then, i went home to davao with my parents. whoohoo! hence, here i am, blogging. =D we just got here. as in 2 hours ago lang ako umapak ng Davao!

nag-land trip kami. from Calunangan, Leyte to Ormoc, Leyte, then to Lilluan, Southern Leyte by bus. Then the bus goes on a ferry to Surigao. Then we get off the ferry and bus ulit from Surigao to Davao. We passed through Agusan del Sur, Compostela Valley, Tagum, then Panabo, then Davao City! Yehey. so dito ako mag-new-new year. yehey! Masaya ang NPA. Mabuhay Philippines! hehe.

to all, a belated Happy Christmas and a very Blessed New Year. Salamat sa mga nagtext at nagparamdam through email, friendster, multiply, ym, at lahat na. see you soon!

at last!

Finally! we had our last exam for this year at 8am this morning. And we're out for the year! YAHEY!!! This is the last break I'll get until I graduate. And then it's the Boards to worry about. wahhh... But for now, I'll focus on enjoying this "last" Christmas I have.

I'm leaving for Cebu tonight with my classmates. Nanay will meet me at the pier tomorrow and then we'll go to Leyte. Hopefully, maka-abot kami sa program sa church dun para kay Lola on Sunday. She's turning 89 yata... not sure. Anyway, I'll be in Leyte for the Christmas break. I don't think Lola has Internet at home.... so this is it...... dito na ko mag-gree-greet sa inyo, this early.

Happy happy Christmas and a Blessed 2008 to you! *hugs*

May the Lord bless you and keep you, make his face to shine upon you and give you peace.

May you be met by the Reason we are celebrating the Season.

busy thursday @ IVHome

Yesterday, nag-christmas party na ang IVHome (with guests na streetmates Balay Bisaya, IVHome Annex and Extensions) dahil aalis na si Nic sa Saturday (going to Baguio for a quiz bee and leadership training) and si ate Ging naman aalis na sa Wednesday next week (for her Sabbatical) at hindi kami pwede today dahil duty ni Leng sa hospital. O diba, andami kase namin sa ivhome so dapat lahat i-consider. Corny naman kase kung may absent diba. Kaya ayun, kahapon ang napagkasunduan (nung Tuesday lang!) na christmas party date namin.

Nyak. I was behind the cam.

After eating (at may utang na paghuhugas sa IVHome ang Balay Bisaya ^_^'), we played a couple of games and halos mag-kainan ung mga guests (ung mga Bisaya) namin sa pag-career nila dun sa charades and name game. Hahaha! Funny. My other housemates thought they were angry with each other dahil nagsisigawan sila lahat! Then, may konting presentations. Di na ko nakasayaw. Nahiya ako e. Haha.

Anyway, when the non-IVHomers went home, kami naman sa IVHome ay nag-exchange gift at nag-kick out party kay ate ging. Yep. KICK-OUT party. =) Inay ko, we ended at about 230am! Nag re-enact kami ng mga Priceless Ate Ging Moments and Unforgettable Ate Ging One-Liners. Tawa kami ng tawa. Heto ang ilan:

"Rats?!? No kidding?!? Is it big? For real?!?" (Nang sinabihan sya ni Leng na may nakita syang rats sa may likod ng bahay.)

"I'm seeing a half-naked man in my house at 11pm!" (si Naldo, ang former IVHomer, ay nasa kitchen. Kakaligo lang siguro.)

"Manong, could you please do something about this... 'cause it's so muddy!" (Kausap ni ate Ging ung mga gumawa ng deep well sa may garden namin. Nag-nosebleed si manong sa English ni ate Ging.)

"Manong, we don't know how to make this work? Can you make this work?" (Ang sabi ni Ate Ging kay manong na taga-ayos ng computer. At nagdugo din ang ilong ni manong.)

"Manang, how much is the fish? And 4 boxes po ng Knorr." (At sumagot ang tindera sa market.... 'ah, ung fish?' Dumugo din kase ilong nya.)

"Honeeeey, I'm hoooooome! Honey?" (Everytime she arrives. Sige ate, may sasagot din sayo if you do it often enough!)

L-R: (standing) Ate Ging, Naldo, Brian, Leng, Nang Jimjim. (center) Pam, Nic (bottom row) Nang Bjo, Tint.

pink weekend

This past weekend, I and Leng went with Nang Bjo to Roxas City, Capiz after we fed the trisikad drivers sa street namin. (Every year we have this 'Bless the Trisikad Drivers' activity on the first saturday of December. Pero dahil IVDay nung first saturday ng december this year, nilipat lang muna. This year lang. Next year balik ulit sa dating schedule. =) So ayun nga, pumunta kami sa Roxas ni Leng. Kase daw may piyesta at makikikain kami dun at baka daw hindi na kami makapunta dun dahil busy kami and blah, blah, blah sabi ni Nang Bjo. Anyway, so pumunta kami dun nung Saturday morning and we were there until Sunday lunch. Then dumaan kami sa Cuartero, sa house nila Nang Bjo pauwi. And then na-late kami sa Vagina Monologues sa CAP. Nyek. Buti na lng ilang maikling minutes lang kami late. And then we went to CPU para manood ng Bahandi Concert. At pagtapos nun ay dumiretso kami sa Smallville para i-celebrate ang birthdays nila Ate Ging and Nang Bjo.

I wore pink shirts the whole weekend. ^__^!

3 different shirts. All pink.

tsokolate!

Recently, nakatanggap kami ng isang box ng tsokolate. (salamat po kuya andre!) Halos maligo kami sa tsokolate! Literal. Ayan ang housemate ko na si Libay. <== Andami tlga. Naumay nga ako kakatingin e. Pag masyado palang madaming tsokolate nakakaumay na, tumitingin ka pa lng. haha. (salamat kuya andre!) pero enjoy kaming nagpapicture sa mga chocolates. Pero in a few hours.... ayun, naka-repack na sila dahil meron nang mga pagbibigyan. Mas nag-enjoy tuloy kami ngayon dahil konti na lng ung chocolates at unahan na sa pagkuha everyday. weird noh.

Naalala ko tuloy ung song na ito nung binuksan namin ang box ng tsokolate:

Kung ang ulan ay puro tsokolate/O kay sarap ng ulan

Ako'y bababa/at ako'y nganganga aaaaaaaa

O kay sarap ng ulan!
