You guys are probably wondering why the title of this post is “Hoy Angela.” If you really want to know – just ask Monica. LOL

I’m not really in the mood to write right now so I’m going to make this post something like a list without the numbers and bullet points. I just want to document our vacation without writing a full-pledged post. Before I forget all the things we did and the places we went to.

Last Saturday, April 4th me and my friends went to Guimaras. We had to ride a pumpboat to get to Buenavista. Then we headed to Kix’s beautiful house. It’s very relaxing there.

I was with Rino John(my little brother), Monica, Amy, Irene and Tim. Tawtaw and Kix met us up at the Buenavista wharf. Then we went to Kix’s awesome house. The ambiance there is like a rest house or a cottage at the beach. How I wish I could go back there. I might ask Kix if I could. ;)

We ate a delicious lunch prepared by Kix’s Tita. We were surprised because we didn’t expect them to prepare our lunch. We brought lechon manok but what we had was more delicious than lechon manok. Thanks to Kix, Taw, her Tita and her cousins.

After lunch we went to El Retiro Beach. Then to Roca Encantada. It is a big mansion built on top of a rock owned by the Lopezes. We got to go up the mansion and look at the view and it’s structure. Had our photos taken there. Maybe we could all have a house like that someday. Who knows. :)

Then after Roca Encantada we walked on the beach’s shore. We planned to bath and swim there but we couldn’t because there was heavy rains earlier that morning so the water was murky and there were big waves. So Kix and Taw suggested that we go to La Cheska instead and dive in the pool there. Which we did. And we had a great time. There’s nothing like a dip in the pool after a walk at the beach with your very close friends.

When we had our fill of the pool, we went back to Kix’s house again to prepare our dinner. Roland, Amy’s boyfriend arrived later that afternoon. After dinner, we had fun by having a long conversation and catching up on all our lives and gossip girl activities. LOL.  Kix, Taw and I have all resigned from Callbox last year. Irene is going to transfer to Callbox Davao. Monica is resigning this coming May and Amy is just planning to resign but no definite date yet. We talked about so many things, our experiences at Callbox and the people we worked with. Well good thing I’m over that. We went to sleep in the wee hours of the morning. We did some other stuffs but I won’t write them here. It’s our secret. Right guys? ;)

The next day, April 5th, after we ate breakfast we all decided to go to Jordan – to Alubihod Beach. Actually Monica insisted that we go to Alubihod. So we went there and we rented a cottage at Rico’s Beach Resort. Monica finally got what she wanted! LOL. We had fun bathing at the clean beach with the white sand, the caves and the big rocks. There were a lot of people there but not that much. I bet this Holy Week there are more.

We went home later in the afternoon. This time we rode the pumpboat from Jordan wharf to Iloilo City. We were all dead-tired and sleepy but it was worth it because we all had fun and enjoyed our weekend. Words can’t describe the feelings and the experiences we had. It was really great seeing you all guys! Thanks to Kix because she allowed us to stay in their beautiful house and for being our tour guide. Thanks also to all her cousins and relatives who were very accommodating. I just hope and pray that they’ll allow us to go there again. I’m loving the memories. It’s great to catch up with all of you guys! :)

I have uploaded our photos on my different accounts but I have the complete set in my Picasa album. If you wanna see them feel free to do so. The link to the album is below. See my sexy friends! LOL.

And lastly, if you’re curious to know the meaning behind the title of this post, feel free to leave me a comment and I’ll tell. LMAO. :)

My last party night with the Callboxers!

Last Saturday night we went to Ryan’s to check out Rockathon – a battle of the bands activity sponsored by the Xbox committee of Callbox. I realized that this was going to be the last party I’ll attend as a Callbox employee. I have resigned and my last day is going to be on the 4th of November. But I haven’t been to the office for a week now. I kind of miss my friends – especially Shey but I don’t miss being a telemarketer! Thank God I’m over that.

I went with Tim and my brother – Vinboy. I met up with Shey and Dianne. We gave all out support to our department’s band which is composed of Louie, Roger, Richard and Lynn. They were awesome and as expected they won. Of course – IT na guid na!

I’ll miss you guys. Text text lang ah.

Here are some of our photos:

You Choose To Be On The Side Of Me

I was doing the laundry yesterday morning when I heard this beautiful song. It has become my habit to listen to the radio while doing my chores. My father told me once when  I was young that singing or just simply listening to the radio will make any chore or work easier and it helps pass the time away. Before you know it, the dreaded job is done. I have since followed his advice and I’ve grown to love it. Well back to the topic. Hehe. I was listening to Home Radio 89.5 when I heard a new song. Home Radio 89.5 by the way is my favorite radio station. When my ears are not plugged to my iPod–I listen to Home Radio. I heard  a very beautiful song that caught me with its inspiring and heartwarming lyrics. I remembered my bebeh when I was listening to it. How he was there when I needed a friend and someone to help me. That time when I was so down. That time when I had to go away because of some bad thing that I’ve done. And countless times that I’ve been bad and needed his help. My bebeh knows all the ‘skeletons in my closet’ and yet he still loves me and accepts me for who I am. Instead of forsaking me he helps me overcome my bad side and helps me grow. He’s always there by my side to guide me and make me not be the person I was before. Now you guys whose wasting the time to read this post know the reason why I really love my bebeh. Why I am always writing about him. I’m just so addicted to my bebeh. I keep telling him that he’s my lifeline and I’m sure that I’ll die if he leaves me.

Now back to the song. I didn’t know the title of the song so what I did is I wrote down the chorus then googled it at the office. I found out that this song was written and sung by Corrine May (born Corrine Foo May Ying) . She’s a Singaporean singer-songwriter whose currently based in Los Angeles, CA. I am now a fan of Corrine May. And this song is going to be a part of my wedding.

On The Side Of Me
Corrinne May

I’m not the easiest person to love
I’m often the one who lets things go unresolved
Yet you choose to be, on the side of me, on the side of me
Yet you choose to be, on the side of me, on the side of me.

I’m not too proud of some things I’ve done in my life
The skeletons in my closet are too big for me to hide
Yet you choose to be on the side of me, on the side of me
Blessed charity, you’re on the side of me, on the side of me.

Everyone needs a friend to hold
when it’s cold outside, and there’s no place to go
Everyone needs a friend to hold
All alone I cried there was no place to go
I remember when nobody cared but you.

I’m not the easiest person to love
But you opened your heart and show me what I’m worth
Cos you choose to be on the side of me, on the side of me
What a mystery, you’re on the side of me, on the side of me.

Everyone needs a friend to hold
when it’s cold outside, and there’s no place to go
Everyone needs a friend to hold
All alone I cried there was no place to go
I remember when nobody cared
I remember when nobody cared but you
Cos you choose to be, on the side of me, on the side of me.

Hey guys! I FINALLY HAD MY EAR PIERCED FOR REAL!!! I had my left earlobe, on the upper right part pierced. I bought this really cool cross stud with a faux diamond stud at Unisilver earlier this morning, around 9AM then I had my ear pierced for free. The lady who did it used a gun (not the real gun but the gun used in ear-piercing of course). I had to make my own waiver and to sign their waiver as well just to persuade them to agree to do the piercing. Because they’ve had bad experiences with dumb clients who complained when their ears got irritated because of the ear-piercing.

I have one wee problem though. Tim is in Bacolod and he still doesn’t know about what I did. He knows that I really want this done ever since before we met and he has always told me that he doesn’t want to see me sporting a stud. But because he’s not here well nobody stopped me so the DEED was done. And I’m feeling so cool and elated.

I thought my ear was going to hurt so bad that I won’t be able to sleep but right now I’m feeling so drowsy that I’m going to end this post already. I only hope that my bebeh won’t be so angry with me when he sees my new earring. Hope he’ll understand.

I’ll have a photo here of my new fashion statement within this week guys! So proud of myself! :)

*post written October 8, 2008

UPDATE:

October 14, 2008. My bebeh and my parents had seen the stud. My parents – no comment. My bebeh – very angry (of course as expected) when he saw the stud then ignored me for a day. I felt a little guilty but then the deed was done so there’s nothing anyone can do about it. Anyway, he’s ignoring the ear too. Fine with me. as long as he doesn’t pull the stud off. Hehe. ;)

November 14, 2008. After a month, my ear’s still a little sore but I think it has healed. I can sleep without feeling it hurting now. And I don’t care much of hiding it anymore. I love my stud. ;)

*photos coming soon!
