BITS AND PIECES

Just booked my flight to Dumaguete. Nakakabadtrip tumawag sa PAL. First, 48 years before an operator attends to your call, pero syempre magtyatyaga akong maghintay kasi "sayang ang miles". Tapos, unfortunately, walang straight flight ang PAL ng Manila-Dumaguete!!! Ending up, i'll fly via Air Philippines!! na wala ring miles!!!!!!!! Damn!!!!

change of plans...

Been busy with Petron training lately (well actually until the end of May). I’ve been out of the office most of the time and yeah, im kinda loving it. For the past couple of days, right after the Vigan trip, I found myself wandering around Makati and Pasay City, hopping from one Petron station to another. This weekend, I rove around the area of Laguna – San Pedro, Biñan, Cabuyao and Canlubang. And what I am looking forward to are the successive out of town trips scheduled – Bataan, La Union, Baguio, Quezon, Isabela, Batangas, Romblon (which in turn would end to Boracay!!) and Davao. So, for those who want to be tagged along (yup… free transpo and accommodation) just let me know…*wink*

This weekend also, was another day spent with marlo. Syempre kami pa rin ang magkakasama. It’s a really different peaceful feeling whenever we are at the cemetery, kwentuhan lang, all knowing the he’s just with us.

And, we’re spending the upcoming holy week vacation with him…with his mom and the rest of the family.

back from a long weekend road trip...

my first beach getaway for 2008 at Canoe Beach Resort at San Antonio, Zambales for our company's yearly team building.

a "back-to-vigan" trip after our 2-day company outing. A 10-hour drive from Pampanga to Vigan via an L-300 no aircon delivery van, it was really a ROADTRIP... It was then, our most memorable land travel ever...

to my long missed home...

for the next couple of days, i'll be away...

This year, I personally declare Valentine’s Day as the SINGLE’S AWARENESS MONTH. Haha!! Nah! I am not pathetically bitter about being single. It is actually my choice not to be in a relationship now right after that painful stage of Marlo’s death. It was traumatic. And I have no reason to be emotionally stressed just because I am “now” single.

But even if that’s the case, we (or should I say I?) even celebrated it… for 3 consecutive days…*wink*

FEB.14 – THE MAIN V’DAY…
Aside of course from that dinner with a “friend” (on which details I can’t reveal for my own self’s sake) we (the kagerz + gracia “parteegurl”) had dinner and a bucket of beer at Metrowalk. 

We call this “cheers-to-singlehood” night out. We had our favorite Shawarma first at Behrouz and then the bucket of beer at Bacolod Chicken Inasal. Going out with friends really helped. It always makes me realize there more to the world than to get stucked on the thought of being left alone.

FEB 15 – A POST VALENTINE TRIP
At Pier 1, Fort. As per someone's request, i wouldn't post the details...  hahahahaha!

FEB 16- A POST VALENTINE MOMENT WITH MARLO
Of course I wouldn’t let the season pass without spending a time with him. Even if he’s not here anymore, I still can feel his presence and there is still my longing to be with him.

But this time, it was different. It was not just me and him. But us and him. The four of us --- me, nel, anthony and ryan --- took time to spent a post valentines moment with him. I know, each one of us had been a great part of his life and shared precious moment together. And now, what’s good is that we are all friends.

we share one common ground: him and the good memories he left...

And the most meaningful thing that happened that night: all complicated issues was resolved.

anthony, rye, daei and nel with tita mirla--  marlo's mom: 

closing the chapter of complicated issues and opening a new book of friendship...

And it all makes us feel better.

it has been a long day...

had a meeting at Petron with the Petron Fleetcard people and my other co-trainors for the upcoming nationwide retraining program.

wasn't able to report back to office because we ended up past 6pm and since we're already at makati area, i decided not to go back and just head straight home.

tired...

i wanted to sleep... and i tried.. but i can't...

still have lots of things to do... deadlines and projects...

ganito ba talaga pag walang lovelife? sa trabaho lahat napupunta?
