What makes me super excited about the weekends? :-D

Weekends are the days that I'm most excited and it shows in my facebook that I always post weekly happenings with my high school friends (we call ourselves four one exclusive).  Yes, high school friends, which means it almost a decade that we have known each other. Most of us are already finished school yet all of us are working now. It has been a ritual of us to meet every weekend, and we always go to a lot of places, a different yet very fun bonding experience every week. It does take the stress away from the whole week of working. 

Our group is interesting since there is diversity in personalities and gender. Just for fun, we also incorporate Bekimon languange (gay lingo) into some of the words during the discussions. We will always find a reason to meet, either there would be birthdays, anniversaries, baptisms, funerals (of relatives) and even our own Christmas party!

We are very coordinated with all our night outs, it starts with a text brigade that sometimes reaches fifty messages in just a span of 3 hours! Good thing we are registered with unlitxt to we can update each other non stop. I also got into the texting ritual which seems like a chatroom just to decide where to go or what to do. 

Anything goes with what we would do on that day, we could either have food trips, discuss our experiences and plans that made us realize its already late in the evening! Time sure flies when you are enjoying with your friends. With these meeting we were also to come up with a surprize celebration for our high school teacher last December.  And now, we are also arranging our  vacation in Baguio this February!


With this we were also able to share our problem to each other and also do the best that we can to help. Having this kind of friendship strengthens our bonds and also makes us enjoy life more. Even if its Monday again, we we always look forward for another weekend and another night of fun and laughs.

ART IS A BANG: The Joy Luck Club



As the Chinese new year starts, Repertory Philippines shows a one of a kind master piece that is close to our hearts as we, just like the Chinese, share almost the same value for the family. The Joy Luck Club is a novel made by Amy Tan and was made into a film in 1993 produced by Oliver Stone and Wayne Wang. It deals with the lives of four immigrant Chinese women and their daughters who go through challenges in life as well as the Chinese values that clash with the American culture in which the daughters were raised.

Now made into a play by Repertory Philippines, the shows offers an experience of awakening the Chinese in all of us as it it very touching and highly entertaining. Featuring Repertory's Finest actresses and actors it is a must see for all, even you are not Chinese. 

Better prepare tissues for the funny and dramatic scenes that are strong and well delivered. The story would also bring you into the rich culture of the Chinese people as it shows a rich heritage and values that they have and how they share it to their families.

MARDI GRAS at the Central Colleges of the Philippines!

 Last year, I blogged about the schools foundation day although I was quite busy knowing the activities, but since I became more involved with the school this year, we had meetings on how the foundation day will be celebrated and the theme is now MARDI GRAS as it falls near the great celebrations this February.

Blah Blah Blogs: Ang Tunay na BBB!


Unang una, nais ko sabihin na ang nag-iisa at walang katulad na BBB ay walang iba kundi ang BLAH BLAH BLOGS! Halos malurkey na ang buong blog world dito sa Pinas sa pagsulpot ng issue ng Big Bad Blogger, nung una ay hindi naman siguro kailangang pagusapan pa ang ganitong balita dahil medyo madalas na mangyari na ang  mga ito, ngunit sa pagkakataon na ito, napansin ko sa loob lamang ng kaunting panahon, tulad ng apoy ay kumalat at lumaki na ito hanang nakaabot sa sa iba't ibang sulok. Nahihiwagaan pa rin ang karamihan, kasama na ako sa tunay na Big Bad Blogger (ayokong isulat na BBB dahil blah blah blogs ito, oks lang kahit mag type pa ako ng extra).
