Oh hello there! I soooo miss my site. I’ve been busy processing things for a while. Finally, I’m so over working my ass off and all I have to do now is keep calm and wait. What a relief! In addition to that, my mom has been using my lappy-dear and of course it never gets easy using a mobile when blogging. (Plus it’s not fun, eek! Don’t you love a big KEYBOARD? I ABSOLUTELY DO.)
Me and Momma are soooo friends huh!

So August had been a major month for me because I had been out for a while. It was exhausting because of the trips but definitely amazing and fun. Let me start with August 3, 2014. I went to Manila for my medical and when I arrived the next day, I went directly to the Agency to get my medical referral stub. Oh gawd, it was a bad timing because it was raining so hard and it was my first time to meet my agent. Glad that I could turn on my Cellular data anytime so I could check whether I was getting the right direction or not (Technology technology technology, you saved my day). Around 7pm, I arrived in SM Bicutan and considering that I was all alone and young (Seriously, why is “young” even added here? :D), laziness got on my nerves so I decided to just take my dinner in Chowking because the weather seriously made me feel like I needed an amazing soup. Yum. I always love Chowking’s Soups, particularly Wanton soup and Beef Wanton soup. It’s great that most people in there are all by themselves so I felt a deep belongingness. Single Ladies everywhere, hurray! I wasn’t sure if all were single but still, they were alone so no questions! The next day was another hassle. I went to the Clinic for my medical and again, I wasn’t familiar with the location, but then again, thanks to the power of technology for helping me get by. The most amazing thing was that, finally, I got to know my blood type, yehey, and I’m a Type AB honey! yahay! After taking my blood and all the physical and mental examination (oooppz did i mention I got the highest score on the first set? hihi. I was overwhelmed.), I went to SM Manila to meet my friends Jam and San. I’m sorry but I guess it’s the worst SM i’ve ever seen because it’s crowded and it felt like i’d get robbed anytime. SORRY SM. REALLY. To my surprise oh oh, my dear friend just lost her phone in the area. Geez, like I said! The girls and I spent the night together with Nolan and Robin, our college mates. We stayed sober no worry. Hahaha

My dad, brother and cousin came the next day for their Passport Renewal and Application. My dad cooked an amazing salmon and shrimp sinigang for dinner yummmmmmmm. I love seafood. August 9 at 9pm, finally we’re home!
The next day, August 10, I woke up at 5am to again prepare for a Barkada trip in Buguey Cagayan. We had to really pack-up early so we could attend the mass at St. Anne’s Parish. I was with Dedj, Mae, Benz and Paul. We had an amazing breakfast with Father Tony, a Parish Priest. We really look up to him because he’s so nice and cool. He has always been a friend and a formator to us. At lunch, we all went to Gonzaga Cagayan to attend Kyro’s birthday party. We did a little walking in the area to kill our time. We went back to Buguey to continue the fun and of course, a trip in Buguey would never end without playing with the waves at the beach. Swimming! Great! Like the old days. It’s been a custom for us to visit Fr. Tony every year. Once again, ‘coz he’s amazing. Our sumptuous dinner was conventionally seafood and inihaw, it’s no surprise because we’re in Buguey and it’s always exciting. Yummmm. We loved it! Next day (Aug. 11), time to go home again but of course, it’s not the end. There’s always a next time for Buguey Fun. Hurray! Thank you Fr. Tony for everything, for spoiling us to the bones and for being the person you’ve always been.

Afternoon came on the same day, my sis-in-law and her up-line went to Lasam District Hospital to send a proposal. I saw my dear friend Bing, who just turned 23 two days ago, and we decided to have some girly bonding for dinner together with Dedj in LaVerna. I would say it was well-spent with the ladies as we had some real deep convo about being a grownup, including the future-talk and wife-instinct, WUTTTTT? They have that, I don’t yet. Yay! I meant, I loved the convo we had because it’s different from before but I don’t have that wife or maternal instinct yet. Not that I’m immature or what, but I’m more into sculpting my career and finding my real self beyond the existing. My time will come, that time will come, but for now, I’ve gotta keep my eye on the things that I’m holding other than the eventuality. My prayers of course always include the future and yea, my arms are wide-open for the possibilities. Hence, it was a night to remember. I wish to have another deep convo with my friends.
I wished my brother counted 1.2.3 hahaha (He was there too with his wifey and up-She)
Our cheeks came from…. WUTTTT FOOD! hahaha

Next!!!! I spent my “August 14-16” with my Aunt and cousins at Thomas Aquinas Major Seminary in Aparri Cagayan, that’s more than an hour drive from home. It was actually a Family Retreat/Recollection but I joined them because: first, I was invited, second, I love making memories, and third, I’M A FAMILY, not directly but still a relative is a family. My cousin, Errol, decided to enter the seminary as he believed of this “call/vocare”. He had been pretty active as a member of Youth Ministry in our Parish since gradeschool so I think it shouldn’t surprise me anymore. Moreover, I am very proud of his chosen vocation as it takes bravery to enter the seminary. (Imagine the celibacy-kind-of-life.)

Second day was pretty cool, I got to hangout with new friends like Mitos, Alyssa, Sheila and Kaenneth who also have brothers in the seminary. They are cool and funny, definitely no-dull moment with them til the last day. I look forward to seeing them again. :)))

August 18, 2014. I had to go to SPUP to process my authenticated documents. I was asked by the registrar to get my papers signed at the SAB Office and hola, I saw my cool and smart marketing teacher and of course there’s no way i wouldn’t give her a hug. I knocked on the table and I grinned as she told me to come closer for a hug. And yey, we hugged. Excuse my face as it’s literally a proof of fatigue and prostration. Wuttttt? 😀 Hi Ma’am Juvie, I’ve missed you so much.
Ma’am Juvie and I :)))

August 21, 2014. It was a sisterly bonding with my siztah Jaime. We went to Kinayuan and had some pizza, beef tacos and potato wedges. He had a couple of beers and I had a soda, not really in the mood to mess my head. Awww! I’m a SOBER! Oh yea!!! Cheers to that, oooppz, i mean, yay to that! Hahaha

August 23, 2014. I accompanied my sis-in-law and her up-line Shella in Lasam District Hospital to meet a prospect. She was not on duty that day so we decided to drop a brochure in a drugstore across the road, who knows, that could be a prospect too. :))) Go Longrich!!! We continued the walk despite the few raindrops. WE WERE SOOOO SUPERHEROES!!! We dropped by my Aunt’s house and they had a quick demo of their products. And did I mention that my neck was sore when I woke up? Awwwiii! I had like a lump in my neck. Geeez! Next day, afternoon, we went to Lallo for their demo. It was getting dark when we arrived home and it’s my Lola Saling’s 80th birthday so we drove directly to the venue for dinner. Yummmm!
Lola’s 80th Bday

Next morning, my sis-in-law and ate Shella went to Gonzaga. My neck was still pretty sore and to say it didn’t bother me was a COMPLETE BS because I WAS PETRIFIED. My mom had cysts removed from her neck and I had high hopes that it wouldn’t happen again, not to her, not to any member of our family. That night, I decided to sleep at my parents’ room because my dad wasn’t around. I was cold. Literally! My mom wanted to take me to the hospital but I objected, no please just no. The next day, I was undeniably weak. I had to spend the whole day in bed because I couldn’t get up and my head ached like hell! Except when I had to pee, brush my teeth and take a bath, of course I had to help myself and get up. There’s no EXCUSE for that! That’s common sense right? Hahaha Next day, that was wednesday, I looked terrible already. My parents brought me to Aparri for checkup because the lump became lumps. Yea, plural, I had TWO! I could hardly get up and carry myself plus I couldn’t move my head. It was horrible. We found out that it’s not just tonsillitis but PHARYNGITIS. My physician prescribed medicines and well, they helped, but tbh, I believed that my Picup even intensified my recovery and I will make a separate blog for that. It was a week of being weak because of that freaking Pharyngitis.
Practically, my August ended with “me-helping-myself-recover-from-this-inflammation” and after that, tada, THE REAL ME WAS SOOOO BACK! Mind you, that was exactly August 31 when I was completely well. Lol (And yea, I’ve never been sick like that!!! So it’s effin’ difficult.)
Oh gawd, I’m feeling like the BEST one ever when it comes to dates huh. Lalalala! This is more like a diary already, or novel? Hahaha Please let me dolls, I just miss this so much. Anyway. September is here, and yea, it’s almost sweater weather! Hahay! Or more like, Christmas is sooo coming (Halloween first, of course, and my birthday).
Tata! xxxxxx
