My two-week vacation in Manila is legendary! I didn’t realize what I was missing until I was back home spending time with family and friends, isn’t that weird? Maybe I was too preoccupied (entertained perhaps) by the many things happening in ATL that it was only when I was back that I realized just how much I miss everyone!
Let me give you the highlights:
I was so happy to see my ever-kulit teammates, officemates and my friends! I was also looking forward to my Serenitea welcome drink c/o Joyce! (Thanks a bunch!). I also had the opportunity to have dinner with the former lunchmates crowd! It was a fun-filled night! I super miss the old times when we were all together almost every day – fun times!
Rendezbooze with my elementary friends: Arianne, Jana, Jazz, Iyah and Ayianne! It’s really good to see them all! We went to Centris to play Laser Tag (super fun and tiring!) – ate dinner at Dencio’s on ABS-CBN compound – then off to a videoke party at Music 21! Amazing Lady Gaga performance by Arianne; the ‘Patrick’ moments are the funniest; it’s also my 1st time to pull an all-nighter gimik; and surprisingly, I didn’t drink too much booze (maybe because I know I still have a very long day ahead!). It was really good to see and catch up with everyone – particularly with Arianne and Jana who we haven’t seen for a very long time! Aside from them giving me hard time (traumatic) when I was leaving in the morning, everything went great!

Went home from the Rendezbooze with friends, took a bath, and off to Makati to watch HP7 with Joyce and Ge! Here I am sleepless but was able to get there early to eat lunch before going to the movies WHILE someone overslept and didn’t make it to the movie at all! You know who you are. Haha Then off to Tagaytay where I doze off when we hit SLEX. Woke up when we were in Tagaytay already. It was Ge’s brilliant idea to hangout at Cliff House so I was able to try the famous mochi ice cream! Yummy! Spent the rest of the afternoon just talking and eating and laughing. Good times! Next stop, Leslie’s for dinner! Wohoo! Oh wait – there’s more! After dinner, we went back to Manila to party at Republiq! It was a blast! Jam and I have been waiting for this since our NY Trip last June – so yeah, we danced the night away!
I also had the chance to spend the day with my college friends (Tina, Jane, Loreen, Rhye, Raunche, Tin and Venn!) who I don’t see often and together. It took a lot FB Messages and constant reminder to make this possible. I was so happy to see them all together! Can’t remember the last time it happened, probably it was way back college days pa! Thank you friends for making all the effort to be there!
It was the most tiring two weeks to-date, but it was all worth it! I think being away from home makes me appreciate all the time I spend with all the people I care about and all the little (crazy) things that we do.
