Dates at Sigafredo and Star Plaza

August 4, 2007

As I mentioned in some of my previous entries, the family went to Manila last week mainly for my cousin's despedida party and partly because of meeting Bodie Cruz of PBB Season 2.

I first met him at the Correctional for Women in Mandaluyong City for the Outreach program with Gee-Ann and Mickey.

I sat there for two hours just chatting with them about  the PBB Experience, Computers and IT, being controversial, his lovelife and more cool stuff. The Cruz family are real big PBB fanatics especially during its first season. Natutulog lang daw sila kapag tulog na yung mga housemates at inuunahan nilang magising para alam nila kung ano ang wake up call. You were just a pbb addict at first then after a year you're an official housemate already? isn't that cool?

I was able to meet Tita Lyn. She's a lot more prettier in person and she's not afraid to unleash her "wacky" side (No wonder Bodie and Djanin has more wacky pictures LOL). It was a happy night !

To be honest, I was more excited on my date the next day :)

Tita Rhodora and I met up on Tuesday afternoon at Star Plaza Hotel, Dagupan City. It's my first time to meet her in person (after being blog friends for four months and we're just staying in one city - Tita, what took us so long to meet up?). Yes, Tita Rhodora is also a Dagupena Blogger and so far, we are the only ones who are active here in Pangasinan.

He is also one of those people who encouraged my dad to try out radio broadcasting (my dad's voice is like a chipmunk when he was younger - i did listen to his audition tape haha) but then he developed this big voice later on. They even worked in the same company but in different departments (My Dad is on FM radio).

Aypee, their middle child is a schoolmate of mine back in high school (he graduated on 2002). He is also a fellow choir member and years later, he became one of the players of a lame game i started two years ago.

Ssa53470.jpg image by cybersistahAs expected, We discussed on a lot of stuff - family, my schooling, Carlo, the past, the blogosphere and the blog seminar that we are aiming to have here in our school. If ever, it will be my first time to organize a seminar about a topic that is not yet widely accepted here in Dagupan. Hopefully, this plan will push through :)

Tito Ike&Tita Rhodora, Thank you so much for that wonderful night. Thank you in advance na rin for helping us out with the blog seminar! :)

Dancing Inmates - Only in the Philippines!

August 2, 2007

I wrote an entry last week about my trip to Correctional Mandaluyong for Women with PBB Season 2 housemates Mickey Perz, Gee-Ann Abrahan and Bodie Cruz. It was a fun and fulfilling experience. I've longed to lurk inside a correctional since 4th year high school because of the script i've been writing for years and because of that experience, i can finally have a realistic ending to my masterpiece.

Just last Saturday, Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho made a feature about the 1,500 plus CPDRC inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center, Cebu, Philippines.

Mga barumbado at tigasin mapapasayaw mo? Impossible!

Pero naging posible! Thanks to Byron F. Garcia (who is currently the 4th Most Viewed Channel in Youtube - imagine the millions of videos uploaded at youtube from different parts of the world and a pinoy ranked 4th!) for coming up with a brilliant idea. The group is presently having millions of audience via youtube and they are best known for their own remake of Micheal Jackson's 1983 smash hit "Thriller".

It’s Raining.. Oh Baby it’s Raining

August 1, 2007

When the sun shine we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'mma stick it out 'til the end
Now that it's raining more than ever know that we'll still have eachother
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh eh eh-eh)
- Umbrella, Rihanna

That is my current LSS. I've been singing it since this morning and now it's really raining outside it's 1:00AM and it's the first day of the month!

Rainy days usually makes me feel relaxed and at the same time, emotional as random questions comes out like:
