Over Coffee

Later today I will be meeting up with two of my good college friends. They have been my constant companion throughout college and are the closest thing I have to bestfriends. Both of them are guys, because I have always been known to get along with guys more easily. My theory is it is because I always wished I had brother. I was also mistaken to be a tomboy more than once in my life.

So we’re meeting up later around 7pm, over coffee, cliche right? Haha. One of them just got engaged, I’m sure it will be a center topic for later. Sadly, I’ve never personally met the girl and we’ve never been introduced. Even before, he always sort of kept a distance between his girl and his friends. Anyhows, I am glad he initiated the meet up. Good to know he still values our friendship. :) 
I am not all lost of friends after all.

//Update: I will be the tentative wedding planner of my friend's wedding, alongside my other good friend Nardo. (Photos added after we met up over coffee which I HAD TO PAY FOR. haha.)

He spent the whole day with me from start to finish. :) Thank you boyfriend. I quote my facebook post:

First ever birthday without my family and hopefully the last. Thank you boyfriend Elwinski Managbanag Jr. for making me feel all special the whole day and filling in the emptiness and loneliness I’ve been carrying inside. I love you :) And I miss you family! Maymay Yao Ang Suzanne Sanchez Suzette Ang Jin Ang and Miggy and Phoebe too. :)

my God is faithful and my God is good. :)

Cheers to TWENTY[23]THREE. :)

That night, after my birthday, 09.17.12 around 3AM, I started writing a 4-paged stationary letter to my boyfriend. I really felt special that day. :) 

Days Off

I am very happy to report that my days off lately, are productive. Yesterday, with the help of my cousin, I was able to cook the ordered siomais from scratch. I was also able to make putos which were gone within a span of 5 minutes and maja blanca for dessert. I was also able to squeeze in fried rice with no meat just before dinner. 

I look forward to making my days off productive, be it for business or hobby, or the blessing of having the mix of both. 

And with this I give a smile to the heavens above.

Dinner with Me

hard na to imagine life without you babs. at KFC

So since I’m working a swing shift now, 3PM-12AM, I hardly get to eat lunch with my boyfriend. Plus we only have Sunday as a common day off, so that would mean we won’t see much of each other. But thankfully, he gets off at 7, just in time for my meal break. Even if it means going home later than he supposedly could, and mean spending extra for dinner (plus spending on lunch for the earlier part of the day), the sweet one accompanies me for dinner. :D I love you boyfriend!

Went to the mall unwillingly to do errands of my grandmother who is sulking already because I didn't find time to do her errands right away because I was busy with my life. *rolls eyes*

My babs and I went to buy Potato Corner: Mega Fries (120php). I chose to do half cheese and half barbecue. After that we proceeded to doing the errands, which was to do some grocery shopping for my (physically) grown uncle. My grandmother wanted to send him some sort of care package or the like as a (very) belated birthday gift. A part of my grandmother’s reason for sulking is also because my sister and I forgot to greet her on her birthday. Honest mistake, I really did forget her birthday. Mother didn't remind me either, she’s usually the one to remember and just tells us to give our grandmother a call and to greet her. Anyway, the burdensome errand turned out to be quite alright with my boyfriend around. I’m just happy we got to spend some time together, even in the least ideal places or situations.

We had dinner at Sbarro, although we weren't really hungry after having eaten the fries. Boyfriend didn't mind not eating dinner, but I knew we both had to because if not, we’ll both be starving at night. 

And that was my night. Simple. Wonderful. Enjoyed it. Loved it. Because my boyfriend was with me. :D

Formal Tuesday.

So just for fun, we were encourage to wear formal attires today. Although, I think the more appropriate term would have been corporate attire. 

I wish we had uniforms like my outfit, a comfy office skirt and blazer. It will save most girls a few minutes in the morning not having to think of what to wear to work. I really pictured myself, when working for an IT company or getting an office job, in office uniform or corporate attire (the latter preferable). 

Not everyone joined in the whole formal attire thing though, some forgot and some didn’t have any formal (corporate) attire available for the day. 

And on the side note, it was my first official photos with the people I work with and the place I work at since I worked here. HAHA!
