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!

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!

Frank’s 22nd Birthday Celebration

We celebrated Frank’s birthday late, as usual! But it was still so fun. FOOD TRIP!

A while back, Frank and I decided not to repeat eating at restaurants we’ve already been to so we could explore the local dining places. Last night, we decided to have dinner at this new restaurant, BUONA TERRA Deli and Creperie. According to their menu,

“Here at Buona Terra, we attempt to provide you with a glimpse into the regional Southern European flavors, where the taste is robust and clear, unfettered by complicated sauces and heavy dollops of cream and butter.”

As usual, Chic, Lady and Jude are not around to celebrate with us. :( That aside, we had a great time over great food!

Congratulations RB!

A total of 32,617 out of 77,901 passed the Nurse Licensure Examination, conducted last June 2009, the Professional Regulation announced Saturday.

Among these 32,617 passers is our dearest friend RHYAN BEN M. DASALLA!!!

Our first REGISTERED NURSE! We are all so proud of you RB! And I know your mom must be partying in heaven right now from happiness and excitement at everything that you’ve achieved.

I guess all the screaming Lady and I did while we were in Hong Kong must have paid off! We always knew you could do it!

WE ARE PROUD OF YOU RB!!! CONGRATULATIONS!

Eleat would also like to extend our congratulations to our friends Trisha Wee, Soleil Ang, Janna Buelis, and all the others who passed the June 2009 Board Exam.  All the hard work finally paid off! 

And good luck to the November 2009 takers, Lady and Donna!

YAY RB!
