Mito's 1st birthday at Storyland:)
it was cool that our dear nephew shared this special day with selected kids from SOS, an orphanage in Alabang. Good times shared with a good heart.
we were so psyched! jam-packed kiddie party:P
can't wait to take the rides at Storyland...
it's been a decade (or so) since our last visit.
"you're never too old..."
we went wild(?) with the rides.
patulan na lahat ng pwede
i love it! i love mito! i love my cousins!
i love mi familia aguila:)
creds: photos by lai.
(i wonder when the eaglets would upload theirs.. earth to pampy and/or ram.. haha!) |

"This is so highschool" Friday.
Textbrig here and there, gathered everyone we could.
Loula's back in town. :) kaya dapat mag-meet?
Decided to meet at 7ish, Starbucks - Greenbelt 3.
Thanks for friends who always come on time.(pun intended)
Rehashed the plan.
Mitchie met us at Powerbooks. Lolled awhile. Jan D came, he was waiting at Sbx. Great diba?!? Everyone else followed.
(Hmm.. someone brought someone along pa...hmmm.)
8ish. waiting outside Cyma to be seated. Hmmm. "Good for 10 please."
Let's go Greek (pronounced "grik") this time...
Rules for the night:
(1) Partner-partner daw sa pilian.
(2) And take note, walang gayahan ng order...
(hmmm. i wonder who broke rule # 2?!? tsk tsk.)
(3) BAWAL ANTUKIN, HENCE, BAWAL MATULOG!
Late night dinner. endless chikahan. flashback on fun highschool memories.
Requisite coffee or tea time. Naudlot na game - deal or no deal at timezone.
Jamie, the motormouth... umaarangkada sa kwentuhan.
Si Madi, super tahimik. well, medyo lang pala.
Hmm. we discovered a new "loveteam" (pwede...)
...and no, it's not that "someone who brought someone" okay?
Ross was Carmel's eating parnter... "diet daw sila"
Carmel, shared her "drama" episode that morning.
Lyna's quirkiness, amused Chico, our "personal server"
and I designated myself as the official snapper for the day...
Ang saya. I loved every second of this quirky tambay.
Yep, even if we had to go home at 4ish... getting up the next day with a headache. But a big smile on my face, and a fulfilled "spirit".
I love my highschool friends... sa uulitin.
Sa mga nag-absent, oh well...

took this day for a spin.
ooohh, i heart spontaneity. wink wink!
thanks to lai's ahemm-ahemm fantastic driving skills, we got to the nearest "mall" in one piece.
tagged along with her to run this bitsy errand. we were such rascals, trippin' on everything we saw and stuff. had so much fun at the supermart:) sobrang saya, na nagutom sila... ended up having "real" food for merienda. cheapthrill is supreme! :)
bummed about coming home. bulb of idea sparked. decided to "dance till we drop" (dead) doing hiphop abs. gnarly, we forgot to take snaps of it. watched "futbol" while lounging at lai's. i love house-hopping:)
i heart summer. i heart bumhood (for now).
keep it coming! activities = lurve :D
disclaimer: i couldn't barely move. i almost died from dancing. but i'm gonna rest my eyes teeming with happiness. i love my family and the simple things we always do. thank You, Lord. i'm so blessed :D |
 consider myself a traveler...
yes, i know i haven't fulfilled much on trailing the world. but i've had a handful of experiences as reference.
i thirst for interaction.
and i don't mean, mainstreaming.
i search for something simpler yet more meaningful. and in a sense, enriching.
"a true traveler is defined by connections made... knowing the place beyond the surface. being one with the culture... even for just a day."
... i yearn to traverse the world with soul.

boracay island, aklan.
the arrival.
long-planned trip. i thought i can never join in.
thank God for sudden turn of events :)
celebrating "liberation" a few days. out of work.
traveling with my sisters (minus our folks) after x number of years.
pretty fun experience.
tons of retail therapy. i heart shopping. most definitely.
spur-of-the-moment "trekking" and getting "dressed" for it.
riding the sails. the paraw style. watch the sunset by the sea.
business opportunities for a friend. hmmm. pretty neat idea right there.
mingling with some locals. small talk goes a long long way.
day one was about life by the beach.
anything and everything that happens in between. |

boracay island, aklan.
bye-bye to beach life.
talk about short-lived vacay.
three days. gone that fast?
hmmm. if it weren't for day two's grueling but fun activities.
all i have of bora's memory would be about shopping and nothing more.
and yes, if it weren't enough. spent my last few hours still doing that.
hmmm. i heart it soo much even if it meant denting my finances. bleh.
tough luck. i had to leave a couple of hours earlier just so i could catch the 3pm flight. soo much unfinished business. :/
i vowed to be back.
and i'm definitely seeing those starking white shores and the natives' sunny smiles again. the question is when...
thank God for the experience. though virginal and all that.
i know i've been to better beaches. but "meeting" bora in a different light was a good take at traveling. it was a bit curt that's all. i sooo wanna go back (had i already said that???)
first shot at traveling with my sisters, and close family friends.
did learn a lot. had tons of realizations.
... i'm definitely a traveler. |

boracay island, aklan
the oh-so-strenuous day.
talk about jampacked!!!
think of every water activity possible and cram it in just one day.
yup, that's what you call tripping. from sun up to sundown.
talk about maximum human strength. and we are so cut out for it huh?
island hopping. snorkeling made more challenging, thanks for the big waves.
spelunking in a sense. 'cos we visited "caves". would've been fun taking a dip there if it weren't for the intimidating current. thanks to the strong winds.
foodfest. seafoodfest for lunch. thanks to manong jun, the banker(o) turned cook:)
squishing calamansi for handwashing. taking our trip back to the main island.
bananaboat for free, taking it a stride longer than usual. thanks for cres' connections.
couldn't head to puka beach by boat. so much for the strong winds, humongous waves. took the trike to complete the adventure.
puka beach was a personal favorite ^^ conversing with a local kid was so enlightening. beachcombing. wave tripping. swimming with a smash.
late night dinner with that panjabi feel. curries. masalas. lassies. and bloated naans. binging on FIC. i love. so much for the sudden rain, which ruined our mood to party up.
we're dead tired anyway...
disclaimer: thanks to cher and her underwater cam. 75% of these snaps are hers. the "switch" was indeed put to its full use. ^^ |
