karen's birthday bash + reunion ng tatlong itlog

After my trip in Sg and Malaysia, Greg and I flew to Cebu the day after my bday...I was so happy coz, the day after my natal day is Karen's turn. Not to mention that I haven't been to Cebu for more than a decade now, regardless of the fact that it's just a 45-minute plane ride (walay pamasahe hahahah!). Excited and flushed from my previous trips, it was a pleasure to go to a place where familiar faces and intimate hugs are waiting for you. Anyways, one bonus is that kitten is also in Cebu...so the three of us went to have a good time together...wishing Kate to be there at the same time, but grinning like wild dogs because of the fun we are anticipating, now that we three have finally found time to be together.

Karen is my partner in crime...we both do the dirty work, while Kitten covers for us with her innocent miming look. But before you judge us, it is kitten who is the "palahubog"* in the group...drinking as early as 6am...hehehe! coz she works at night as a telcom specialist. mweheheheh!

We scoured Ayala for dinner and went to Mango for some karaoke...the karaoke part was kinda hard - we have to wait - when we got our reservation, we decided to go to Karen's apartment so we can stop hauling my luggage - which, by the way heavy...then the inevitable happened...i fell asleep...needless to say. no karaoke happened. grrrrr.

Seeing the two of them brings back high school memories. It's amazing how we've managed to keep in touch and remained friends despite schedules and distance.

Fast Facts about Cebu (http://cebu.islandsphilippines.com/)

Often called the "Queen City of the South" and the Seat of Christianity in the Philippines, Cebu is the country's oldest city. Exploring Cebu City, one encounters a rich historic past. Cebuanos are extremely proud of their cultural and historical heritage, a legacy which has endured thru the centuries from the time the great explorer Ferdinand Magellan first planted the cross on Cebu's shore.

My birthday wish list

My birthday is coming up!!! I'll be 24 soon. huhu! i can still remember, when i was about to have my 20th bday, i was kinda sad knowing i'd be a "teen" no more...*sigh...I'm getting old and hopefully more mature...anyways, on this birthday wish list, i'm omitting the "long-life-good-health-kinda-stuff". I already know my life span will not reach the ideal age i want. Didn't Descartes once wrote - "a being is a being towards death"....and that is a statement that made me realize that birthdays are actually morbid?! waaaahhh! before i ruin the moment...here's my list.

my birthday wish list:

• a new phone (ehehe!)
• someone to pay my power bill so i can buy a center table (*evil laugh)
• a date with johnny depp
  
  but this guy ----> is kinda acceptable.
  
• bavarian chocolates
  
• new batteries for my skype phone.
• a good book.
• center tables for my bedroom downstairs, for my bedroom upstairs, and my living room.
• fake flowers that look real for my kitchen.
  
• a cook!
• a luis royo art piece
• a scholarship certificate for a fine arts course.
• a good massage.
• certificates that entitles me to a diamond peel.
• a wooden-rocking-horse-toy-thingie that i can pass on to my son.
  
  
• someone to scratch my back till i fall asleep.
• breakfast at mcdonalds with everything i want, from syrup to pies to that big mcdo burger that's 5 stories high.
• seven-eleven slurpee... why oh why can't 7-11 build a store in davao?!
  
• steak
• ice cream and cake
• canisters
• anime manga
  
  that's what i can think of...for now...
