Summer to Fall

Last night I realized that I haven't updated this blog in ages! I'm sure a lot of things happened between May and now, but I'm too lazy to go into details so I'll just share with everyone a few of the highlights of these past months...

Surigao, Let's Go!

Frank, RB and I, along with Cams and Lloyd, went on a road trip to Surigao del Sur on the long weekend of August! I grew up between Agusan and Surigao, but the rest of the group are first timers.

We stayed in Northway Hotel in San Francisco, which was an hour drive away from Surigao del Sur. For our day trips, we visited Tinuy-An Falls in Bislig, Enchanted River in Hinatuan, and Letty's Terraces, a private resort, in Lianga. And because I wrote about this in detail already, go read it here.

House Party at Chic's

We were still hung over from a crazy road trip when we met up again at Chic's. She was in town 2 weeks after her birthday, but we still partied like it was her natal day!

I don't have a copy of the photos we took, but allow me to still share how crazy it was. There were too many food - all of them DELICIOUS, if I may add - and there were too many drinks! Again, thanks to tried and tested games, and very creative punishment negotiations, Frank had stripped naked before the night ended. HEEHAW! Who says we don't make good deals?

Omay: Still Young at 23

We were all crazy busy so we celebrated Omay's 23rd days late. But awesome people that we are, we celebrated it with a bang! and a splash, and laughter, and tears, and more laughter!

The winning line of the night would have to be from RB. Read more about the sleepover here.

Oktoberfest

Fast forward to October - since we didn't see much of each other following Omay's birthday. It's another semestral break for students and Lady was back in town! I went to the salon for a supposedly quick visit and hola - I ended up having my hair dyed! After dinner at Lachi's, I cancelled on going to a friend's party, and decided to drink and christen the Fontilla's new crib instead. We had an impromptu sleepover with the bubwits because I ended up sleeping in the middle of watching a movie. Oops. 

And then came RB's birthday. He invited us for dinner with his family. I intentionally ignored all his text messages and calls the whole day, and it was only Lady who mentioned about going since the rest of them are either busy or out of town or just couldn't care less. Our surprise consisted of ourselves and a cake! Yay! Plus we ended the evening on a discussion about love, life, and sex over a hot cup of coffee and 2 slices of Blugre's chocolate moist cake. Happy birthday, RB.

It was also Jude's birthday a few days later, but we didn't get to see him so... Belated Happy Birthday Jude!

Happy Halloween

While Lady and I were hanging out at the newly opened D'Leonor Inland Resort, we've decided that she'll be going with me to a halloween party my friend Zhaun is throwing at Marco Polo. I convinced her mom that they should donate some GC's to promote their salon. That aside, we ended up going with Eric, their new stylist. I had a blast especially since I got a little bit drunk, but not enough to make me lose my mind and drive intoxicated! 

Fancy Night Out

And just last Sunday evening, Frank, RB and I went out for a fancy dinner at Mamu's. A bottle of bubbly (because they ran out of cheap read wine haha), some really delicious food, and an intimate ambiance was perfect for the relaxed mood I was looking for that night.

And we had coffee at the Roof Garden of Gaisano Mall for a nightcap. Ahhhh, life!

Sky High

Because it was ladies' night.

Universal Studios in Black and White

Because I just felt like doing something different. When we were at Universal Studios, I decided I wanted to just take Black and White photos, so here you have it.

They were so busy looking at something...

Well, hello there Street Boys! Proudly Pinoy!

At talagang nag-pictorial sila! 

Universal Studios was really a visual paradise - all the blending of colors was a sight to see! These pictures in black and white have really given the place a different feel.

That's it!

Just got back from my trip with Lady, Chic and the buliliits! Here's a photo teaser of what we've been up to!

Can you guess where we've been?

Post Holy Week Trip

After Holy Week, I'm going somewhere with Chic, Lady, the Fontilla bubwits, and the Jarabelo bubwits! Too bad RB won't be able to join us. :(

Anyway, looking forward to going out of the country again! It's my second time out with Lady, and our first trip abroad with Chic! With all the bubwits were bringing, it's gonna be a riot trip!

Villa de Mercedes

Villa de Mercedes is Davao's premiere residential resort about 15 minutes away from my place. You have to be a guest of a homeowner before you will be allowed to use their swimming pool and other facilities. Their coffee shop is open for the public though (I think).

I was supposed to go with my boss and a few people from work to Bohol that weekend, but I decided not to join them. But because I was jealous of their trip, I called up my boss and asked him to hook me up with a reservation for Villa de Mercedes. Saturday morning, we were confirmed for sponsorship!

Thank you bossing! You're the best!

Saturday Night. 

Telai: Frank, let's go there early coz Telaw has to leave after lunch.

Frank: Ok. Let's leave at 7AM.

Sunday Morning.

7AM: Telai has: Cooked. Cleaned. Laundered. Packed.

9AM: Frank, Nigel and Telaw arrived. No food whatsoever. No RB in sight.

After they picked me up at home, we went around Toril to buy ourselves some food for the pool party. When we got to VdM, we found out they only allow food brought in the picnic area in a separate place inside the subdivision. 

The pool was still being cleaned when we got there, so yay! We decide to make use of their huts in the picnic area for brunch! We were assigned in Kubo 4, and were joined by a lot of pussies during our meal. HAHA. 

Brunch was a riot. Lechon manok and grilled pork! Parang nasa beach lang. 

When we finally got to the pool area, we were so amazed at the beauty of the place! What's more - there were no one else around but us! A vast swimming area and grounds exclusive to us = PARADISE!

For the rest of the day, we lounged, we swam, we played, we laughed, and we took lots of pictures! We completely forgot about sunblock, but who cares when you're in seventh heaven! We stayed there until they've turned on all the lights at the resort. Forget about Telaw having to leave by lunch time! Tumbling na lang!

Here are some of our photos from the outing:

Villa de Mercedes is definitely one of the nicest places I've ever been to in the city. I could live here. *Matawagan nga ang MFF (Mother Father Foundation) at nang makapag-raise ng funds to buy a house and lot here* HAHA. 

Here's a panoramic view of the resort at twilight:

And to end this post, here are a few clips from the videos we took on our outing:
