birthdays birthdays!

YESTERDAY:

Happy 25th Macix! (in this photo: Mac's girlfriend, Vea)


TODAY:

Happy 50th GILL! :P (in this photo: sillyyeng, Ivor & HV)

DISCLAIMER: I don't have solo photos of them.

---

I am very very lucky to have both Mac and Gill in my life.

Mac is someone I couldn't imagine to be with (again) but at the same time, couldn't imagine to live without. He's just always there. ALWAYS. Despite and in spite of. He's like my Pau sans the romance. And like he always say, our friendship is one of the few things we know would last forever. :)

Gill is my EXACT opposite yet I feel at ease with her. She tries and teach me how to be a MODEL employee, and I try and teach her how to break the rules. :P I win most of the time! Haha. Once I heard someone say "work mates aren't friends; they're just colleagues." Gill can put that person to shame. ;)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUYS! *hugs*

50-1

So I have not turned my PC on for like... forever.

I'm always tired and couldn't be bothered to do anything else but play with my little bub.

Anyway... photos photos!

The best father and "lolo" in the whole wide world celebrated his 49th bday! I love you Pa! ♥

The whole fam went swimming to celebrate the big 50-1!

My little bub making "pa-cute"

The boys hang out!

The "moving" pregnant girl (A.K.A Ate) reached her last pose for the series of shots! :P

Mga sunog. BOW.

Shobe, EJ and Pau enjoying the man-made wave!

"Hurry up dad! The wave's coming for us! "

PRINCE GIANN! :P

More photos of dad's birthday celeb here. Also Bim's 18th birthday!

Last Friday dad left for work yet again. And for the 19th time (for the 19 years he's worked abroad), I cried.

I may not live with him anymore. But I cried. I cried for the tears he cannot show because he's a father. I cried the fears and sorrows he cannot mirror - the wishes he couldn't say.

My heart yearns for the year he won't have to leave us again.

---

Another thing that breaks my heart: Hell in All Its Fury is how The Age put it. It was something I never imagined would happen to Australia. Something that tragic could happen to the Philippines anytime. But even though Charles has told me bazillions of stories about bushfires, it still never struck me as something terribly serious. Until I read it today. :(

I'm worried and saddened and well, shocked.

Aaaah.

xoxo

just came home from Bim's 18th

And I am godawfully tired.

Last I've been this tired was when I was still with The Firm.

I am so tired I don't think tired can still cover for it. *That* tired.

But I am online nonetheless. There are some *pressing* things that I need to take care of.

But man T-I-R-E-D.

zzz.zzz.zzz

24

Super early birthday dinner with colleagues and friends at Dad's (11/14/08)

(with me love, Ivor) Yes I was famished and yes I was holding the chicken with my bare hands! Yay for me!


With Markets' AMs Gill and Pol :)


Everyone minus myself :P I ditched the dinner early!

Here's how the A's celebrated mummy A's 24th:

Eating

AND playing!

And here's a late birthday celeb with my bestest loves in the world (plus Ate, Kuya and Daddy Dan):

♥♥♥

Oh and also celebrated with Pau, Mac, Vea and Mcnaire. But we were so Twilight-enthralled and uber hungry to take photos! :P

Thanks to everyone who remembered and greeted me on my not-so-grand-and-happy-birthday :P It wasn't so bad though. Just wasn't uber happy either. But I guess it's the gift of another year that matters so it's good.

xoxo

HV

Happy "37th" birthday HV!

HAHAHA.

*hugs*

You know I don't like HR people very much, but you're my favourite HR person! :P Well, I guess you are EVERYONE's favourite! Mygod your line is always busy and you always have 'someone' at your post!

I love you HV. And again okay... EVERYONE LOVES YOU! EVERYONE LOVES CLARISSA! :P Haha.

my main man

Because I do not have the right words to say...

how blessed I am to have you

how thankful I am for this day

how wonderful life is with you

and how amazing that love grows despite and in spite of.

Here you go:

God knows how many times I've ran away from you. But you silently wait in one corner (because you're just that freakin patient when it comes to me!), knowing I'd be back. It's hard to breathe without your air.

Happy happy birthday to my happy pill! :)

xoxo

my other big little bub!

Mummy "Dishia" loves you soooo much! :)

xoxo

2 days late

Photos of our uber cozy workplace:

Before our move to hell, Gill and I have uber big work spaces! Like really. And now, we're very very close. I love Gill alright but we all know that relationships always need "space" hahaha.

---

Meet Mitzel. Well, call him Ivor 'cause he likes that nick better. :P He's our new Markets Officer. He can do Australian accent which never fails to make me laugh every time he uses it. Haha. That photo was taken 2 days ago when we're the only ones left in Markets! PARTY WOOHOO! ;)

Time to play WoW! YAY! Haha.

I love you

Exactly 1 year ago today I had you.

And from that day on, I had never let you go.

I never believed in love at first sight.

Until this day:

See, I have never really considered my self a "good" person. But now I know I did something VERY OUTSTANDINGLY right some time in my life. I should have. Because I was blessed with you.

You are the GRANDEST blessing I ever EVER received.

Happy 1st birthday Giann. :)

Thank you for the past 12 months filled with anticipation, anxiety, stress, patience, bliss, love and lessons.

Thank you for completing me.

Love,
mum

Good night all! :)

xoxo

the only one worth it.

How tired I am. BUT. Giann's worth it. :)

I will post photos tomorrow or whenever Pau decides to let me use his PC. This PC's USB hub is screwed. So yeah.

Thankyou thankyou thankyou to all those who attended Giann's birthday party! Even if the birthday boy spent most of the time clinging on to his mum and snubbing everyone. :P

Man, I am tired. I should rest now. Big day tomorrow (work) plus I need to re-arrange our closets to make way for Giann's UBER plenty toys and clothes! I'll show you his loot next time. They're overwhelming. :)

---

Pau answered the question "When are you online?/When are you available to play?" (on his WoW character) with "I'm online everyday. From 9am-1am, +8GMT." I read it, was not really surprised and teased him, "wow, you have NO life." He laughed.

Pretty amusing.

I remember asking him before, "if I leave you, what do you think will happen to you? What would you do?"

"Nothing. Just play WoW the whole day?"

"Ah. Very productive."

---

So sleepy but waiting for time! :D

P.S. Let's all hope Pau lets me upload photos soon omg!

xoxo

abusing The Bee! :P

While most kids cry when they see a mascot, it's a different story with Giann!

Look at me Jollibee!

Photo op with Jollibee!

The Bee doing the "worm" dance. Hahaha.

Kissing Jollibee :)

He's afraid of the OTHER bee though...His Ninong Tito Kim! :P

He is my soldier. ;)
