Annual Kada Getaway


We had our annual kada get together last week. Actually it was a getaway of some sort because for the first time we went out of town for it ;) We (actually Mhina) tried to make this happen last December by starting to organize it as early as October but alas, everyone already had a booked December calendar.
I am just so happy to see these girls again. We only see each other once a year & we are almost never complete ;( Shoutout to MK & Marjo!!!!

January 7 started early. Meeting place was at Starbucks 6750 and meeting time was 8:00 – 8:30 am.  I thought about it and said to myself, I know my friends I’m sure they won’t be on time haha ;) The early bird in me won & I arrived at 8: 30 and found Mhina & EJ there already. I expected EJ to be there but Mhina?! Cool! Next was Girlie, then Edz… We put our stuff in Techie & Jan2 car so we wouldn’t have to bring it with us on the shuttle. Where was Vida you may ask? As expected, she would meet us at EK already… hehe ;) 

Who said we went to EK for the rides would be laughing at us coz we took more pictures to last a whole year! Maybe compensating for not seeing each other as often? All in all we only got to ride, the following rides: Up, up & Away, Flying Fiesta, Rio Grande Rapids & the Wheel of Fate! So much for making the most of an amusement park! Hehe ;) Well, the fireworks made up for it & the priceless faces of my friends while on the wheel of fate… (They would remain nameless!) hehe ;) 

After the EK pictorial we went home & started with the gift giving & whole lot of laughter & kwentos… You guessed it…. More pictures!!!! hahaha ;) 

This was a memorable overnight because for the first time, we all gave up early… Tired from all the poses & walking. I love my friends, I really hope we continue this tradition until we grow old & gray. Although I would prefer to have more meet ups during the year not just during the holiday season. Here’s to more years of friendship! ;)

(If you are wondering why I mentioned a whole lot of pictures but did not post any, it’s because EJ & Jan2 were the official photographers of the kada using their trusty DSLRs J )

YM Withdrawal


I survived almost 2 months without YM! ( and counting hehe)
I didn’t think I could survive without it during office hours but surprisingly I did! Haha
All part of getting used to my new working environment & culture…
One step at a time…

Taking Chances


Starting something new is scary, nerve-wracking & exciting.
I will be starting a new chapter in my career tomorrow.
I will be starting in a new company.
I have high hopes that this company will contribute to my growth as an HR practitioner.
Some say all things we are not sure of are risks…
Well this is a risk I’m willing to take a chance on…

Dancing Away With My Heart


Got this song from cutie’s blog… Liked it too ;)

Dancing Away With My Heart

I finally asked you to dance
On the last slow song
And beneath the moon that was really a disco ball
I can still feel my head on your shoulder
Hoping that song would never be over

Chorus:
I haven't seen you in ages
Sometimes I find myself
wondering where you are
for me you'll always be 18
and beautiful and dancing away with my heart

I brushed your curls back so I could see your eyes
And the way you moved me was like you were in my mind
I can still feel you lean into kiss me
I can't help but wonder if you ever miss me

repeat chorus

Oh you headed out to college
At the end of that summer when we lost touch
I guess I didn't realize even at that moment we lost so much

repeat chorus

Nah nah nah(repeat 3x)

Away with My Heart

Nah nah nah(repeat 3x)
