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!

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:

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!

Trip to Kapalong

It seems like we're always finding reasons to go back to Kapalong - home to the Alegre's! It was my third time to go back there last week!

The first time I went to Kapalong was back in 2006; for EJ's (Omay's neice) baptism. I went there with Abe (Omay's beau), Chic and Frank. We didn't know how to drive then so we took the bus to Tagum, and then Omay's family driver picked us up from there for Kapalong. 

My second time in Kapalong was this September. Omay had a belated birthday celebration there, and so RB and I went with her and Abe. Unfortunately, RB had to leave really early the next morning so he really didn't get to see much of the place.

My most recent trip was only last week. After we had our little Christmas Party, Frank, Lady, Omay and I had a road trip to bring home Scarlet. We made a deal that we'll drive her to Kapalong so long as she joins the party. LOL It was Lady's first time there, btw. Chic wanted to join us but she was supposed to arrive only later than night so it wasn't really possible! 

We really had loads of fun going there - especially in Omay's dad's prayer garden! Totes awesome! 

I am definitely looking forward to our next barkada road trip. Perhaps to Agusan / Surigao next time? :)

Happy Holidays!

From our family to yours, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Happy Christmas mga bru! <3
