My Weekend... ♂♀♪♫

Welcome home Kuya Embet

Saturday.. overlapped with my Friday.. went home past three in the afternoon after my lunchdate with ate Aubs. My cousins and I had planned to have a mini get together this Saturday, even before Kuya Embet decided to come home for Lolo. We did it and amidst the all-rain-days fnally the sun came to shine! I slept and woke up a bit late in the evening. (Friday is always tiring because it extends til Saturday. =P) I didn't see the sun but I saw the moon.. hahaha.. not much of raindrops and clouds.. lol.

IT WAS A PIGGED OUT SATURDAY YET AGAIN!!! food is everywhere plus drinks. We had dinner, shabu-shabu, chips, nachos, pizza, etc.. It was a tummy-filling-crave-satisfying-night after the long rainy daysss! It feels like we're ants and we celebrated the end of the rainy season! What a funny thought! I can't be an ant! I'm too huge to be one! Lmao!

nothing left but bottles

Wonderful night with Family!♥♥

♥

long and wet Friday...

Kuya Embet had a delayed flight.. traffic swarming the cities which includes flood and the nonstop rain brought about by Falcon.. It was scary and a bit terrifying after Ondoy's wrath in 2009. Everybody seems paranoid about the rising water levels in the different areas here in Metro Manila. Well, as for us, we still need to work.. I arrived in the office at around 9:30pm..it was tiring!!!! super! I am just to start my day and I'm already tired to want some rest and food! really was hungry when I came around.. I wonder why? is there such thing as cold weather makes you more hungry? or maybe, you spent your energy warming up yourself because it's cold that you need to fuel up more than the usual?? lol. *crazy thoughts.* I crave to sleep soundly at times like this with lots of pillows! or laze at home with warm coffee/cocoa in hand, a good wine will definitely suffice too! warm food and good company.. small talks and funny conversations will be great! ugh! I dread that I need to go to work.. =P oh well! I need my money and I want to stay away from any emotional tension at home even for a bit. I want it loud and noisy when times like this come because it keeps me away from thinking unwanted stuffs that could drain me whole in a hole.

Well, I've set a lunch date with an old friend, Aubrey. I fondly call her ate Aubs, not because she's older or anything like that. We've been classmates some-when in elementary. hehe. hmm.. Lunchdate and I still have hours to spare. I'm off at 6am, extended til 7am to let the rain pour some more. Luckily, I need not to wait by myself. My Freak-o was there to accompany me for breakfast. And so we met in this rainy morning in Cubao and searched for food! We went past McDonalds, KFC, Krispy Kreme, Cafe Adriatico, etc. for Tropical Hut. It was literally a search for food. lol. It was raining and we wanted something nice and our last resort was Tropical Hut. We dined and talked. Hyped with energy, we're quite noisy and funny! hahaha... It was fun! Too bad I wasn't able to catch a picture with her. We split up at around three-quarters past nine in the morning. And I was left with nothing else to do til eleven o'clock so I tried to walk and walk and walk the empty mall. It was fun for me too. I walked as slow as possible to let the time pass.

Gateway, Araneta

I checked out the movies, watched the rain, searched for books at National Bookstore, used the bathroom, did retouch (which I don't usually do, but since I have nothing else to do, I did it anyway! lol.), walked back and forth in BreadTalk (meeting place)... etc. So basically, I just walked and walked until the mall was filled in with people from different walks of life.

Where's my shoes? lol.

Empty CBTL

Rustan's from Above

It was really interesting watching them. I see some smiled at you even so you are of no acquaintance, others eye you with the unknown reason, and some brushes you off annoyingly. I see people waiting, others busy talking, etc. But after a while, I feel all tired and texted my friend. I almost cancelled it because I received no response from her. Good thing I didn't! Well, she was just late. haha.. We had no trouble in picking the restaurant, we love each other because of Japan and so we chose to go Japanese, and Teriyaki Boy it is.

The haggard me..er.. O.O

Ramen for me and Tonkatsu for her. I enjoyed our talks and catching up. We lack time, I'm tired and all but it was all nice to finally see each other again. I missed her!!♥

my Yogato for dessert

For me, communication is the best way to keep friends, and meeting once in a while is still the best way to keep in touch than catching up online or texting or doing phone calls. The very reason why I'm really in love with dating! I think it's always more intimate to talk face to face. ^^, I'll never get tired of meeting everyone I dear. (I love busy scheds!) haha..

rainy days...

waaahh..!!! Lazy day! Lazy day!! Tropical Storm "FALCON" is making me feel so tamad! lol. It's so windy outside that it could ruin your umbrella.. Cold is nice, so I like it.. ;) except the bad hairday that comes with the wind! hahaha.. I was teased at work being all dolled up when it's raining cats and dogs. But then I am certainly not! I am in my everyday look.. I don't understand.. lol. it's so funny and flattering at the same time! hihihi.. it boosts my egooo! woot! ^^, way to go confidence! wahahahha! =D

I miss Palawan with the rain. The paradise I love!

Thick as Blood??

Blue Agave

Dreadful family politics..

How do you stay away from Family issues??

My personal tips. LOL. =P

#1 Don't get yourself involve. Anything you do to make things work better will make more trouble.

#2 Let them do the talking. Less talk, less mistakes.

#3 Listen but do not believe easily. There's always three sides of the story.

#4 Never comment conflicting statements. Misunderstanding complicates everything.

and lastly...the most effective way..

#5 CUT ALL TIES!!! (optional! but certified effective! lol.)

The end!

Summer Solstice.. will be a really long day..

hmm... longest day is on June 22nd!!
I want to take a time off from work, spend time at home or spend time else where.. I don't know.. Lolo's health is deteriorating way too fast I can't grasp it. Way too fast is unbelievable, and unacceptable in this particular situation. It's sad. Really really sad. I wonder what's more difficult than putting up a fight where you can't win, holding on onto something you can't keep anymore, hoping for something hopeless, and believing in something far from reality. What's more hurting than losing someone dear not only to you but to your loved ones all the same..??
I wish to sleep it off the whole day not until I need to wake up for work, but it scares me not to see Lolo again..

about Summer Solstice..

The summer solstice occurs exactly when the Earth's axial tilt is most inclined towards the sun, at its maximum of 23° 26'. Though the summer solstice is an instant in time, the term is also colloquially used like Midsummer to refer to the day on which it occurs. Except in the polar regions (where daylight is continuous for many months), the day on which the summer solstice occurs is the day of the year with the longest period of daylight. The summer solstice occurs in June in the Northern Hemisphere north of the Tropic of Cancer (23°26'N) and in December in the Southern Hemisphere south of the Tropic of Capricorn (23°26'S). The Sun reaches its highest position in the sky on the day of the summer solstice. However, between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, the highest sun position does not occur at the summer solstice, since the sun reaches the zenith here and it does so at different times of the year depending on the latitude of the observer. Depending on the shift of the calendar, the summer solstice occurs some time between December 21 and December 22 each year in the Southern Hemisphere, and between June 20 and June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere.
Worldwide, interpretation of the event has varied among cultures, but most have held a recognition of sign of the fertility, involving holidays, festivals, gatherings, rituals or other celebrations around that time.
The word solstice derives from Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still).
