Waley Wednesday

I know I have my lamyerda diaries and all but when I’m not scheduled to be out and about exploring the world (naks jetsetter) I am an actual living homebuddy. I love the outdoors don’t get me wrong, but also, there’s something so appealing to me in just lying in bed, watching movies, eating, not having to move much and make an effort to not look weird around people.

So that was me the past weeks, or months maybe. I was always struggling to get myself out of the house just for the mere reason of going around town. But, finally today, haaaa! I managed to beat my ass out the bed to enjoy the sun, and my ultimate motivation? This. Cheese& Bacon Chicken Royale + Chips + Large Cola + Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Unlike back home, we don’t have a large variety of orgasmic restaurants (orgasmic talaga teh?) so BK would suffice plus, I am so hungry I want my food ready as soon as I order it. 😁

Aside from devouring this meal, I also enjoyed my favorite spot in this resto which is..

this spot makes my eyes so busy, I just love looking at people while eating. Those mere seconds they pass by allows me to read them (wow!) and their personalities and body language and all the chenezes in this world. Yeah, I know. Me already hahaha

Aside from eating, one of the things I would do on a day like this is shopping, for books that is. I love going to charity shops, where I buy 5books for a pound. Unfortunately, there were none I was interested of so I ended up looking through the hangers and since it’s already spring, thought I might need to see what I could add up to my wardrobe apt to the weather.

Ps. I am a very very very good thrifter (lol is that even a word?) or should I say thrift store shopper? Che, basta magaling akong mag ukay2. And hello, UKay in UK is so.. something! (Naubusan na ng english) Hahaha! And yeah, I found some summer ready clothes to spare

As they always say, Spring has sprung! So, I found myself attracted to flowery prints

Okay di to flowery but Basta! Hahaha Also lucky to find some denim

I also found this nice dress which I thought: “Mukhang bonggels ito pag gora ko sa Paris” but, apparently not when I wore it. Fail.

Then I also saw a light coat but the fit was horrible on me so fail ulet

All in all, I got 8 items and just spent under 20 quid! Bonggels! Tipid pa more!

Since duvet season just bid goodbye, i also thought of buying new sheets and a lighter blanket

Gray + yellow = 😍

And as for my book of the month challenge, I decided to end my romance/mushy love stories and start with a more exciting plot which I thought I could get with the twisted writing of Gillian Flyn. I read and watched her Gone Girl and I just thought it was brilliant.

My April and May pick

And finally, ending my day (almost) and cooked some Cordon Bleu (which I hope isn’t too bad)

So far so good! Back to work again tomorrow, and so far this day has been lovely! Catch y’all later!

Welcoming Summer 03.03.2011

Our place Tuguegarao is known for having the extreme temperature ever. When it’s November-February we can have the coldest weather (nearing Baguio) BUT during summer, we consistently have the HOTTEST temp and I hate it. But, what’s good about it is, we get to enjoy the different pools and resorts around.

So since March marks the 1st day of summer, we decided to go for a dip @ Ivory Lodge, Buntun just near work and our boarding house.

When we arrived, daaaaang it was cold. It feels like it’s not summer at all. But what the hell, we still went for it anyway.

Thank god for TIMER!

Time for the solos ladies!

ok, me first!

Party @ Nevada [08.2009]

I was browsing old pictures in my drive when this special folder struck me… We were in 5th year college, Baguio City for our staffing. It was a Saturday night; Perfect cold weather. We were all in the mood to go out, chill, relax but since we’re minors, we weren’t really allowed to go out without any consent from an adult or family member; we we’re also days away from going back home and about to start for our review for the boards so we we’re like “wtf. let’s do this!”.

We had an early dinner then immediately went back to the dorm and prepared. Since most of the girls I was with we’re the “good girls”, I noticed that I was the only one overly excited for the night out. They we’re apprehensive. They we’re afraid that we might get caught. I already put my make-up on, ironed my hair so I went down to the boys bunk who seemed to be more game and more prepared than the girls. I was thinking with or without my roomies, I will still go out. The guys will be there anyway, and since I’m “one of the boys” I wouldn’t have any problem. I just BADLY NEEDED to go out.

When I went back to our room, I did a little convincing until they said yes and prepared. While preparing, we strategized on how we can pass the guards outside. So we came up with an idea.

“Sabihin natin kain tayo sa Jollibee. Tas alis na tayo. Okay lang pag ganun.”
“Oo pwede yun kasi pag pm shift naman tayo nakakalabas pa naman tayo eh!”
“Dapat makaalis tayo dito as early as possible para di sila makahalata”

I was official the promotor. :) I was goin’ up and down also checkin on the boys. I was uber excited!

Vanity time while waiting (clothes were all thrifted.)

I also helped my friend, Mattina to get ready. She didn’t want too much make-up. Just foundation, liner, and a little gloss.

And so once everyone’s ready, we all went out. Of course the girls all went together. We did pass beyond the guards. We were laughing cause we didn’t look believable. Imagine! “Kuya magjajollibee lang kami. Babalik din kami agad” pero nakaoutfit lahat! With matching make-up and heels? hahaha!

So we were already at the highway waiting for a cab when suddenly one of our batchmates called up and said the guard reported that students went out and we should go home cause our clinical instructor was looking for us and wanted us to submit an incident report for going out late and without permission. Damn. Our dreams were shattered. And yes, we did go back. The guard was even smiling when we went back and said “ambilis nyo kumain ah!” and we just replied “sarado na pala kuya”.

So as we went back to the room feeling all sad and low, we talked to the one left and asked what happened. The one who got caught was not us! It was our other batchmate! Oh shit, we shouldn’t have bothered to go back, they didn’t even notice we were gone! So back to planning. We knew we’d have trouble going out the main entrance cause it was getting late already and our lame excuse of going to get food is not gonna buy the guard again. I called up the guys who were apparently at the bar already and said we could go out at the parking lot gate but there’s a catch: ALL GATES ARE LOCKED AND WE’D HAVE TO GO OVER THE BAKOD.

Oh hell yeah I could do that! I’m desperate but of course, I can’t be selfish. I’m doubting if the other girls could do that. There’s also a guard house beside that gate and we should do it quietly so we would not bug the guard who’s already sleeping.

We had a thousand attempts. (not really a thousand but yeah we tried a lot of times). It was quite a high gate and we were in heels for that matter. So we’d really have to try. Some of us we’re already getting mad cause some girls keep on laughing while trying to climb and that could wake the guard.

It’s 10pm already and fun’s about to start so I tried once more. With the help of the beki’s, finally! I’m out. Others followed and when we were all out, we were running real fast away from the dorm until we reached the highway. Then, took a cab and HELLO NEVADA!

We weren’t really familiar so we went to the bar that looks attractive and doesn’t really have a lot of people yet. TANGERINE.

When we got there and got settled. We were all catching our breaths. No one even had the initiative to look at the menu to order. Some adventure we got there. After a few minutes, we’re back to reality. No one was excused from drinking. Alcohol is a MUST!

DOING MY THAAAAAANG!

Next stop… Albertos.

I was just chillen’ on the last stop. Pero sila wagi ang energy! Just took pictures nalang muna

We all got home almost 5am. We all fitted in 2 cabs. Funny cause when we got to the dorm, the guard was shocked when there were two FXs that stopped filled with people- students and the guard had nothing to do but to look at us. We walked quietly until we got to our respective rooms and knocked out agad! The next morning…as if nothing happened. hahaha. We didn’t get caught! Galeeeeeng. Super memorable experience. I would treasure it forever and ever AMEN!
