From Left to right: Elena, Jb, Cathy, Kat2 & Michelle

Got to get together with some highschool friends last May 19 at Sandbar. Interesting how we got together and looking back at how we all used to be and do.

Elena then: The classical singer. Very girly. Glasses and long straight hair.
Elena now: A nurse. Helps out in her family's bakeshop. Still very girly. Still sings. Different shades of contact lenses (love her brown and gray ones!). Hair depends on the season. Still single and looking.

Jb then : the honor student. Leader. Always spoke her mind and knew what she wanted. Popular.
Jb now: Its Atty. Jb now. Teaches in between cases. Married to another lawyer. Still speaks her mind. Currently trying to have a baby.

Cathy then: the school knock-out. Popular. Life of the party. Tallest girl in our batch. Was into modelling and being fiesta queen.
Cathy now: Wife and mother of Amaya. Bakes and joins bazaars. Based in Boracay in her husband's resort there and lives in Manila in between.

Kat2 then: a bit on the boyish side but a such a sweetie. Always a friend to everybody. She had her own clique in highschool but always got on everyones good side. A leader.
Kat2 now: a certified PT. Still a good friend and keeps in touch almost everyday. Still always ready to help out. Single.

Michelle then : quiet. Chess champ. Content with just being in the background. Known her since grade school.
Michelle now: a Doctor! Still rarely get to see her. A bit more outspoken now. Good for her! Still single and looking as well. Wonder if she still plays chess.

Wow its been almost 14 years since highschool. I guess these are the days wherein I can really look back to the life I had already.

Cebu weekend

Hilton Cebu... wish I had my suit with me. Dang! But it was a good day and the break I needed from the monotony of everything thats been going on lately. Aaaaahhh...

Praying for a new Philippines...

Election Day has come and gone, we now know who we look forward to "serving" us in the next 6 years. I do hope they do serve, as most of them have failed to live up to their responsibility time and time again.

It saddens me that some of my personal bets didn't make it. But I do look to the fact and reality that God is there no matter who stands before me. He is the only constant. The only One who has control over everybody's future.

So let us all lay our hopes and dreams in the hands of the only one who has a say in it. Praying for the best. Let us hold on to the victory that is in our Lord. Praying that the people elected will remember their place in our lives. That the Filipino people will finally work together. That we can make our country into a better one.

Congratulations to those who won!

Dumangas stop

Sundays are usually Dumangas days for us. I think we head off to this quaint little hideaway point almost every month. Its just a cool and simple way of beating the hussle and bustle of the city. Get back to the waves crashing and simple, honest to goodness food at its freshest. Shrimp, pork, sibingan... How could you go wrong?

It was such a hot day and we had to do a lot of errands. This was a good way to time out, even just for a few minutes. Then we were back to rushing to our appointments for the day.

The elders

Coming home to this was a classic scene to behold. It kinda reminded me of gossiping ladies on the sidewalks of New York or New Jersey with their sofas out, shades, a fan and just watching the world go by. Well, this is our version. Iloilo style!

This was so funny but something I won't forget for years to come. Its one of those sentimental moments. After all, Abuelita is a part of this picture. Literally.

A few moments later they ask, "What are we looking at, anyway?" Hahaha Classic! Gerard thrown in the mix for extra humour :D
