For the past years, I’ve been spending my holy week with my dear brother Carlo. We were stuck at home in 2006 and we joined the procession and swam in the beach of Zambales in 2007. I had a hard time decided where I should go since my grannies planned to go to Bicol with some of our senior relatives. They advised me not to go with them because of obvious reasons.
I originally planned to go to Tagaytay alone and lock myself in a hotel room with my laptop and try to write a script for a dramatic short film. When I realized that I hardly know anyone from Tagaytay and I don’t even know how to go there by myself, I decided to post an emo entry on my Multiply Journal about it.
Luckily, my favorite starstruck avenger turned close girl friend Jade and her family offered me to spend the week with them in Tanauan, Batangas. I was a shy at first since that week is supposed to be spent with the family only yet a non-family member is a saling pusa. Jade convinced me to join so I did
I do really feel like I’m at home in Batangas and I don’t really know why. I had the same feeling when I went to Lipa last year to visit Sheyna and spend my labor day there (I had my ojt that time so there.. feeling manggagawa LOL).
The batanguenos especially the ones in the neighborhood and the barrio are nice. I somewhat spotted the similarities of Batanguenos and Pangasinenses and I won’t reveal it here until you ask me too :p
I had my first procession there, I met up with Sheyna, we visited some of the quiet places, visited a good friend’s house, ate one of Batangas’ popular fish (and i forgot the name haha), ate a lot of buko juice and halo-halo and I had some photos taken! Here are some of the shots:
Will enjoying our photo op, we saw some kids playing football. Ate Nheng actually thought someone was playing golf on the other side because she saw some golf bags in the place,
It’s nice to experience a taste of provincial life once in a while.
naks! showbiz lol! di ko na nabutan si jade
Wow, you two are pretty close
Tell Jade I really like her, and the way she dances.
See yah at the I.ph party!
Posted by Cai at April 23, 2008, 8:23 pm@Frida - She had a short hiatus because she had a new manager and she was offered to do a comedy show at abs but it didn’t push through. GMAAC asked her to sign again last Feb so she’s a kapuso artist again. You can catch her at the afternoon sinenovela Kaputol ng Isang Awit as Daniella
@manilenya - hehe yun ata yung time na umalis po kayo ng pinas?
@Cai - She was my favorite SS1 avenger and now she’s like a sister to me. She’s a good actress, dancer and ermm.. singer? nope nope haha :p
She might come with me on Saturday
kalahatian ng starstruck 2 ako umalis parang di ko sya nakita dun e. avid fan ako ng starstruck dati, kaya nung bago bago ako sa Singapore panay panay ang tanong ko sa amin kung ano na ang nangyari, hindi nanalo yung mga manok ko lol!

Jade Lopez is my favorite Starstruck Avenger. Where is she now? I mean did she retire from showbiz already? GMA needs wonderful talents like her.
