ELEAT Goes Bowling + Sleepover

I know, I know. It's a pretty late post, but better that than never right?

Last December, we went bowling for the first time (as a group) ever! It was really fun!

Afterwards, we went on an impromptu sleepover. Thank you to Tito Danny Pabalan for sponsoring our room at the Grand Regal Hotel!

Thrilla in Manila

Found myself on a plane with some of our friends over the weekend. RB and I took a mid-morning flight to Manila with Bryan and Telaw. Frank was supposed to go with us, but he bailed out a while back because of class. Lady wasn't sure until the last minute, but this escape was much more worth it than any of her med school dramas, I think. LOL

JV, as usual, picked us up from the airport and then we headed to Greenbelt for lunch. We met up with one of our first year high school classmates, Karl Pedregosa at Kitchen.

Discussing the wonders of sex, fame, and money.
Just kidding. They were talking about school, I think.

Glad you could make it to the party Karl!

Guess Who’s Home?!

Yep! That’s CHIC looking chic-er and sexier than ever!

Here are sneak peaks at what we were up to last night alone:

We have more adventures planned in the next few days so watch out for the full details!

Tales from February 2010

It’s been a while since I blogged here. My friends aren’t any help. I’m the only one who updates this site! Why oh why?!

And because I am lazy enough, I’ll be sharing a few highlights for the month of February in the life of Eleat. Prepare for a very long post!

CONGRATULATIONS, RN’s!

Our dear Lady and Donna are finally REGISTERED NURSES!!! After months of reviewing, and then a few more of torturous waiting, they have finally received the fruits of their labor!

The very hot and sexy Ms. Lady Jaizelle Daphne L. Fontilla, R.N., as seen in her most recent Facebook profile photo. She’s definitely feeling the summer season! *wheet weew*

The lovely Donna (middle) during her Oath Taking with friends Bon and Rose.

THE ROAD TRIP

To celebrate her success in passing the board exams, Lady’s family had organized a Thanksgiving Party for her in the mountains of Midsayap! Lady had been there since Christmas, and of course, a few of us from Eleat took the chance to have an impromptu ROAD TRIP!

 Frank, RB and I snuck out RB’s car, Sam, to North Cotabato! We were only supposed to ride a public van, but oh well we couldn’t let the opportunity that is Sam pass us by! :)

Unfortunately, Donna wasn’t able to go with us because (1) she originally didn’t have enough funds for the originally planned commute; (2) when we told her we’d be bringing Sam, her mom didn’t allow her to go anymore. Too bad. As for Omay, she wasn’t allowed to go with us especially since we’re going to a world-famous war zone! LOL

RB was our designated driver for the trip. It was his first time to drive outside the city limits! And what first time it was – 4 hours of driving in unknown territory!

Say hello to Pikit, North Cotabato everyone!

This is Frank’s former school!

  And this is the back of Frank’s house. We didn’t go in anymore because we didn’t tell anyone we’ll be bring Sam along with us. Our visit will raise awkward questions, I guess! So while we were passing through, Frank was hiding in the back seat so he won’t be seen by any of his “peeps” LOL

LADY’S THANKSGIVING PARTY

Lady’s thanksgiving party was the bomb! It lasted all night long!

The food and drinks were C-R-A-Z-Y!!!  The Fontilla family definitely wanted to fatten us up – as if we need any more fats!

Without planning it, the four of us wore black to party. SAN ANG LUKSA?! Haha.

And when I said the DRINKS were CRAZY…

I really meant what I said.

If you need further evidence…

Say hello to a drunk RB!!!

All of us, including the Fontilla bubwits, slept at around 3AM already. We didn’t have enough strength to wake up for the early morning mass with Lady’s family.

Before heading home, Lady brought us to their farm.

Welcome to the land of Coconut Trees and vast rice fields! But arggh. Midsayap is definitely feeling the Hell Nino fever!

We dropped by the Church from the farm. Their Catholic Church there is really pretty!

Right before going home, we took the chance to do a little PHOTOSHOOT FOR VALENTINES DAY! :)

Yes, Yes… We know we’re vain!

The last time I spent Valentine’s Day with them was 5 years ago, I think. Back when were still in High School! After years and years and years of planning, we have finally “indulged” in a road trip!

SLIDEEEEEEEEE!!!

Soooo, on the next weekend, Frank and I planned another adventure! This time, we were with Abe and Omay!

Very early on the Sunday after Valentine’s Day, the four of us headed out to Samal Island to visit Maxima and it’s famous slide!

I’ve been there before already, so I played the role of photographer to my beautiful friends! That said, can anyone please remove Abe from the picture as he is not beautiful? JK!

We had a really amazing time out there despite all the body pains we got as souvenirs!

We tried the slide and the diving board several times! And to conclude the adventure, we tried the canopy walk at the top of the cliff!

THE END

So anyway, it’s such a lame time of the year for us. Hopefully, it’ll get better in the next few weeks now that classes are about to end, yes?

Lady just arrived from Cebu/Dumaguete today, and Chic will be home by next week for the Holy Week. Unfortunately, Jude is still stuck with his thesis, but you can read more updates about him in his BLOG. He is definitely Mr. American Idol! :)

Also, watch out for our out of town trip by the end of May! I’ll be blogging about it here for sure!

1-Xavier Mini-Reunion in Manila

 Reunited in Manila. (From L-R: Frank, Cams, Chic, Lady, JV, Telai, and Bryan)

“Good friends are like stars.... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.”

It’s not everyday that a lot of us are in Manila at the same time. Last May 29, 2009, Frank, Lady, Chic, and I had a mini-reunion in Manila with our 1st year high school classmates Cams, JV, and Bryan.

Chic works in Manila, Frank was in town from a visit to his relatives in Bicol, Lady was on vacation with her family, and I was there for the AmCham get together and for the Hong Kong and Macau trip with Lady and her mom. Although Jude is also in Manila for his studies, he wasn’t able to join us that night because it was his dad’s birthday.

It’s been 4 years since we’ve all been together.  Despite the time and distance apart, we’ve remained good friends through the years.

The Reunion

Cams and I were on the same flight to Manila that morning. JV picked us up at the airport, and they both dropped me off to Makati to meet with Frank as they headed out for training (JV) and org meeting (Cams).

Fresh from the airport: Telai, Cams & JV 

I had lunch with Frank and his family in Glorietta. Finally, I’ve met Frank’s baby brother Prince Tristan! After we sent off his family for SM MOA, Frank and I toured Glorietta, Landmark, and Greenbelt, while waiting for the others to finish off their appointments for the day. 

 Lunch with Frank’s Siblings at Pizza Hut: JR & Diana

When we texted Chic that afternoon, she was surprised to know that Frank was also in town! Since it was Frank’s first visit with Chic in Manila, Chic treated us to some delicious French Crepes in Greenbelt 3.

 French Crepes at Glorietta 3: Chic & Frank

We were supposed to go with her to The Fort, but Frank and I decided to wait for Cams in Makati, instead. After spending some time in Glorietta, the 3 of us decided to go to Mega Mall to wait for the rest of our friends.  We had dinner at Sbarro, and Bryan joined us there.  Afterwards, we went to Starbucks where a frazzled JV picked us up. We were so rowdy and noisy in the car, I think we may have shocked Frank a bit because he was the neophyte in our Manila escapades. We stayed at JV’s while waiting for Lady to be back from her trip to Pampanga.  There we freshened up, and chatted for a bit with his hot brother. We also played Guitar Hero, and then had so much fun playing Cooking Mama!

Playing Cooking Mama at JV’s: Cams, Bryan & Frank

However, we had to cut short our games when Lady texted that she was ready to be picked up at White Plains. We were supposed to go dancing that night but we couldn’t decide where, so we ended up having a few drinks in Pier One at Tomas Morato, where we met with Chic.

We didn’t like the service and the crowd, and so we went around the metro and ended up in Eastwood. Chic, Frank, Bryan and I had midnight buffet at Something Fishy, while Cams, Lady, and JV had cocktails. 

 Color Coordinated Outfits:
Cams & JV in Purple, Frank, Chic & Bryan in White, and Telai & Lady in Green

It was already 2:30am when we finished eating, and we were supposed to go to Manor, but last minute, we decided to go to Malate instead. When we got there, however, we chickened out and didn’t get down because of the ‘crowd’, and went on a joy ride instead. We ended up at Starbucks in People Support. 

At Starbucks: Bryan, Cams, Lady, Frank & JV

We started to head for home at around 5am already. We dropped Frank off at his hotel in Pasay, and then Bryan and Chic in Makati, Cams in Quezon City, and then Lady and I stayed at JV’s for the rest of the morning.

On the way to White Plains: Telai, Lady, & JV

We slept there for a couple of hours, and then Bong and I had to bring Lady back to White Plains at around 9:00am. I went back to JV’s to get more shut eye, and then after lunch, JV dropped me off at Trinoma to meet with Bryan, Telaw and Cams.

Dinner at Megamall: Telai & Telaw

We stayed out until 7PM. JV picked us up again, and brought us to our respective homes: Telaw in Espana, Bryan in Makati, and me in Pasay. Wheeew. What a mini-reunion. It still feels the same to be with them after all these years!

8 years ago, we were just innocent high school-ers who were in the same class together. Even then, we were already crazy and loud.  8 years later, this is what we’ve become:

CRAZIER AND LOUDER!

Sleepover Madness

Frank and Lady decided to have a sleepover at my place on Friday, May 8. You could just imagine the chaos that we created spending the night together.

PART 1: DINNER
They arrived at around 8PM and I haven’t had anything since 10Am that morning. I was STARVING! They brought a Box of 8 from KFC. Frank and I devoured the dinner while Lady was pretending to be on a diet. Had a big laugh while watching May Bukas Pa because of a misunderstanding.

Lady: San pala galing si Santino?
Telai: Sa stork.
Lady: (With a BELIEVING look on her face.) SERIOUSLY???
Frank: (Looking bewildered but I think he also bought what I said)
Telai: (LAUGHS OUT LOUD AT FRANK AND LADY’S EXPRESSION. Almost chocked from laughing too much. Tummy ached. Couldn’t stop laughing for a long time.) OMG. Naniwala talaga kayo???
Frank and Lady: (Didn’t get why I was laughing so hard.) WHAT’S FUNNY?
After a while…
Telai: Binili niyo talaga yung “galing siya sa STORK” na story??? *laughs more*
Frank and Lady: Ahh.. STORK pala. Kala namin STORE! Now we know why you’re laughing.
Telai: (Still can’t stop laughing.)

PART 2: SHOPPING
Went out to buy some stuffs for our sleepover. Our kitchen is embarrassingly under stocked since I had to do the grocery because my mom is out of town. (Read: BUDGET) Laughed out load at Lady’s bisaya terms.

PART 3: COOKING
Lady prepared us some Spaghetti for our midnight snacks. Frank and I were useless in the kitchen so we just accompanied Lady with occasionally helping lady stir the sauce, prepare the pasta, etc. Frank was soooo funny. I swear. He didn’t know how to cook the pasta. I can’t really explain it here. Plus, he got burned from the steam coming out of the pasta while he was pouring it into the strainer. Cooked a lot of food! There are still some pasta left in our fridge, but the sauce is gone.

Frank posed for this photo op and got burned in the process.

Frank and Lady: my house pest—err – guests. lulz

PART 4: SLEEPOVER PROPER
Lots of talks, laughs and cam whoring with Frank’s Mac. Got accompanied by our pseudo-housemate, RB, on the phone. We slept at around 5AM. The sun was already starting to come up by then. Woke up at around 10am. Had Pastel for breakfast, and left-over pasta for lunch. Frank and Lady left at around 3PM already.

Effort Photobooth-ing with Frank’s Mac

I really do miss hanging out with my best friends from High School, ELEAT. Wish we could do this again soon with more of us in attendance.
