jose cuervo

after everything that was done for the day.. we just can't seem to get enough of each other..... we decided to celebrate and partee. yes. we took it in our house.

there were smirnoff. coors. and of course, jose cuervo (tequila). chips. music and TV. everyone was game and that's all we needed. :D

.... hours and hours after. we never realized or we are not capable to realize anymore that it was 4am. i was tipsy. i know. but i was still standing and in control of everything.... nope. hinde ako gumagalaw lng mg-isa.. haha! two(2) of the guys stayed sa sala, tulog!

morning after, i woke up with a headache. i slept at 430am and got up at 8am. haahaha.. record! had the sudden rush to take pictures of the evidences and called it a day to remember....

i was too timid that day... had breakfast at Marmi's... played Dora.. haha.. which named me Baby and Marmi, Mommy. went home.. went to church. headed back at Mommy's for 4hr lunch. went home again to wash clothes and attempt to iron. cooked dinner, ate with Tin and headed to Mommy's for the last time. hahahaha! and we said to ourselves.... this is the life.... :D

yep. life has been nyc and God has been good to us. i was so worried in doing this job here. but i had d pleasure of doing things on my own. its tough. it's hard. sometimes, work just blows. but then again, if i think about it.... im not too unlucky after all. i met new friends. tried new stuffs. out here on my own.... i think i matured a bit and im doing it all while having fun.

looking forward to many next weekend.

downtown take 2

continuation....

as we are seekers of adventure and challenge.. we arrived at the train station just the time it was actually arriving at the station. you can picture the train and our car arriving at the place at the same time, and yes... we ran and we laugh. beat that!

this time we were with Ate Rachel (haha), we were more confident we wouldn't get loss because we already did that. and so, everything was planned to go as planned. . . .

4th destination. Supposedly Adler Planetarium.
i googled before-hand the bus routes we need to take, we took this bus 146 paid $2 and we're off. the driver said he could drop us off but he didn't. he made us take off a place too far from it, luckily it was the park's place. so again...

4th destination. Millenium Park.
well, it's a park alright.... we saw this electronic-like fountain that has an image of a face. a man or a women in it.. (moving) they smile, grin, move they're eyes... then after some time they act like they're blowing water to the ground.. only that water really comes off. :D its different. it was placed in rectangular pot-whole of sort.. (haha!) di ko lam idescribe... nweiz, it was fun! a lot of kids was enjoying the wet floor.

then there was this giant silver bean. i dunno why... but it's there.. took a lot of shots there...

there was a field with people doing some exercise like luneta. :D

what else, there was this metal thingy architectural structure that we also took shots of.

5th destination. Adler Planetarium.
and here we are.. ooh.. 1st time to get inside one so i was really really excited. we got off a free trolley. we saw an amazing view just outside the planetarium. chicago skyline was nyc. we were looking at it by the sea.... with the right kind of wind... with birds flying over.. wooo... perfect MTV and picture place. we even saw a newly wed being photographed.. aaaaawww.. haha!

nweiz, so we entered the planetarium. i would have to say, i was really excited. we had 3 tickets and an audio device to start with...

first ticket was the exhibit all-over the place, the audio device was for the narration... (aba! astig! ok na idea!)

second ticket was "Cosmic Collision", we were just in time for the show... of course, like any other expectaion. we were in a dome... the seats was soft and comfy... it was about collisions in space and its relevance to us. it was pretty cool, i really enjoyed it. the voice-over was nyc and the sequence was great. not too complicated and not boring.

3rd ticket was for the night sky. i should admit.... i was still excited. :D (sorry tlga 1st time) it was a bigger dome and a large geeky-complicated-lookin-contraption was in the middle. unlike the first show.. this was not really narrated. it was discussed by a speaker who carelessly uses this red pointer laser as fast as you can imagine and go around and arch on stars and constellations like it was a part of our daily lives. it was a discussion about constellations, stars, how you find things up in the sky, moons, planets.... there were a lot of topics and it really got boring. nothing magical or awesome about it. i did not enjoyed it.... the stars air-dome discussion at elem was even nicer.... as it finish, i was expecting a stiff neck. (haha!)

5th destination. Museum of Science and Industry.
we took a long way to get here and been in 2 buses. it actually took us 5 miles from the heart of downtown Chicago. when we got there, we saw that there are a lot places to see and places to go, plus we're seeing this show: "Grand Canyon Adventure". we got time to burn, so we explored the other exhibits. we first passed a carnival circus-inspired walkway... i enjoyed the mirrors and the 3d worm-like animation that you can "kunwari touch" (haha! hirap iexplain)

then we proceed to "UB505-Submarine". yea. it was a submarine on land. i dnt know if it's real but it really looks like it. there were missiles and the complete submarine thingy. another fee to take you inside. after that, we wanted to go visit "Smart Home" but then it would cost us another $5 so we passed(haha!) plus it would eat our time to the show. aaaww.... i would've wanted to see that.... they said the house runs on solar and it has this cool stuff that it does automatically just like in the movies. :D so we took chances, in seeing the "Space something" haha! forgot the name. we saw astronauts and their rockets. we even took a picture inside an astronaut suit along with the 5-7 yr old kids (wahahaha! sorri wala sa pinas!)

minutes after, we climb upstairs and saw the museum postcard in real-life. haha! waahahaha. Jake and I went wild on where to take picture. there was this huge train. airplanes. city skylines. more trains. more planes. and a miniture village. oooh wow! we were like kids moving from one picture opt to another. :D

and so the time is up and the show was on. we went in a yet another dome-like seating. (oooh.. not again! traumatic!) i really expected something extra-ordinary on the show but not. it was a documentary film about the grand canyon.. a little close to Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth". it started ok and the water rafting sequence was interesting but the rest was pretty boring. another option to the show was dinosours live! but we missed the screening when we got there. shoot! oh well.. took the time to rest.

after the show, everyone was either in "going-home" or "where do we eat" mode. yea. i was starving too.. we took a bus back to the park area and started walking to the station. wooh! no problem in walking, it's just that I was really hungry that time. I was merely doing a walkathon. hahaha! 15-20 minutes after we got there. i just decided to buy something from Jamba Juice just to get over the hunger. I ordered "Carribean Passion" and I think even if there was nothing passionate about it..... i didn't care. :D bought cookies too. woooh! food! yey! maybe a few minutes after, I was my normal self again. :D

we decided to go outside the station again and look for a place to eat. walked around the neighboring streets and amazingly most of the stores were CLOSED. whyyyyy???? it's only 7pm. weird!!!!! luckily this Jimmy John's store was OPEN. I didn't bother ordering, they served sandwiches and I'm not a fan plus I'm already full. Some of the guys, went back at the station to eat real food. haha! So, they ordered and I sat there taking pictures of the lights and the signs around. (love 'em) Jake had an unfortunate situation with his order that pissed him off, Marmi and Tin didn't enjoyed their very hard very cold sandwich either. haha! (wawa nman kmi...)

it was almost 8 so, we headed back to the station. we were one of the first that went in so we had nyc seats. everyone was tired and everyone was sleepy. I have to admit we were a lot tired the first time we got there. But everything was a blast. Buzzer Beater. Getting lost and Getting lost again.. Walking for an hour. No signal. Stiff Neck. Slyp Time. haha! We enjoyed every picture, every place and every stop. We were like kids getting to know the famous places in downtown Chicago and it was nice knowing them. ;)

bday



i'm taking it back. i said i was pretty sure that i'm gonna be sad on my birthday coz i'm not celebrating it at home. for the first time in my history il b celebrating far from the persons i wanna be with.... [aaaawwwww! haha!] but then again, that wasn't the case.. [wink*]

i celebrated with a bunch of new peeps in my lyf. 12 of them. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ok, 13. [waahahaha!] i cooked fettucine, fried chicken and corn n carrots side dish. [not bad! not bad!] ehem ehem.. hehehe! anyway, they brought me a "surprise" ice cream cake, pizza[16 inch?], soda[six 1.5], beers[box] and another chicken... wohoo! my cake even had a lettering that made me definitely smiling and happy. instant full blown party..... kulang na lng balloons n party hats! the ref got overloaded in an instant. ang saya!

i didn't expect all the effort. I really really appreciate it. The party didn't started early because we didn't come out early from work and I had a hard time cooking the chicken [and then sabi ng iba madali lng daw mgfried chicken.. hahaha] We didn't have a wok for me to do a deep-fry. It became a fencing battle against the pan and me. I had the cover as shield. I am already wearing my bday dress and its getting oiled. [hahahaa!] I had to make up for the time. We started at about almost 8pm. [waaahahah tomguts!] took me an hr to prepare everything...

Marmi was my official photographer. :D tnx marmi. we had fun taking group shots... obvious nman d b? All things was set except for the one person we call now "Pouch" [Bern in real lyf] Called him twice and i think he was still dreamin.... [asar!] Nweiz, since food comes before friendship, we started eating without him. [wahahaha!]

we began with the important part of candle blowing. :D i had a lighter as a candle. weehehehe...
shempre masaya tlga ko. didn't really got to a wish. i wouldn't know what would it be anyway......

then the moment of truth begins where the chef gets judged and I think I passed. :D [ehem! ehem!] I had a few mistakes that was being edited by a secret ingredient but that was it. [naks! pwede na.. pwede na...] after that, we hit the cake... it's an ice cream cake. it melts. :D woo! sarap! hehe.. and after... we, girls took the pleasure of cleaning out the kitchen. no, the party wasn't over.... we were just getting ready for the real party. [if u know what i mean...]

boys went out and bought Jose Cuervo Especial [tequila] huwaw! i knew then mahaba-habang inuman to... i couldn't imagine tomorrow. :D after a few beers, took Jose Cuervo for a test. no available shot glass so bahala na... hahahha! slice lemons and salt ready. So, the test started execution.... one straight drink after another... after some rounds, i should say that the drink already passed the first tym. hahaha! [no, wonder why it had a commercial] i was drinking pure tequila... woo! grabe! am i drunk?! no. but i was tipsy. may tama na ko. but i was still my normal self. ganun tlga ko e [sanay!] hehe.. hinde. i try to think, fight and not entertain the alcohol in me. i usually keep myself as is and active. believe me, it takes it away. try to walk too.. that really helps... [just be careful on the first] time passed and drinks was being emptied and half-emptied. it was a wednesday and we still need to be at work the next morning.. i was already the next morning when we finish... haha! but at least, its just 12 or 1am.

it's been a long nyc nyt. thank u guyz!

of coarse, i can't forget the peeps back home who never fails to be there for me on my special day. my family, thanks bb! miz ka na ng ate! huhuhu... thanks mimi, didi, iyo and iya for the txt and greetin'.... dnt stop mizzin me..... haha! mahihirapan lng kyo...

downtown take 1

the much awaited gimik since we got here... i searched and tried to plan our day and come up with an itinerary...... then here's what really happen.... =p

at exactly 7 o'clock we were leaving home and the challenge began... we needed to get our ass's at Lake Cook train station before 730.. woo.. buzzer beater! while we were on the ride, Carla called.. "Rege, asan na kyo? Nawawala kmi..." we were laughing at first, coz it looked like we'll be arriving first.. turns out.. we were in the wrong station... as I read the words Deerfield station. huwaaat?!! it's a little less than 15mins before the train. they even said, that the station is closed on weekends.... huwaaat??? it can't be. noooo!!!!! we met with Jake at a lost on what to do... Chris parked and took chances in asking.. he said it's opened and we rly needed to hurry.... we go over the other side and parked again and ran. i was laughing about the fact that we are not in Lake Cook. haha! baliw! baliw! we had a short momment of taking pictures all-over the station... we got excited! first tym e.... called Cholo to ask where are they??! more likely we just needed to say we are not in Lake Cook... we already saw the train coming and it's coming in fast. we were all worried despite the fact that we can't stop taking pictures... then we saw Owen and Marmi running.. yey! train's here....

train was nyc. nothing like PNR. wala sa kalingkingan... aircon, 2 floors, moveable seat rest, ticket holder and shempre malinis. its $5 unlimited ride for the day. took us 45mins. got off the very busy Chicago Union Station on Adams Gate. We were mistaken for kids by a guard. ehem! ehem! outside, picture galore! [wala pa kming 30mins at downtown mukang ubos na batt] haha! downtown baby! :D

the view was nyc. if I only have an SLR.. nweiz.. i did have a few nyc shots. try to get more next tym.


1st Destination. Sears Tower.

the view was nyc at the north side.. you can see the buildings, the sea and the small layer of land that divides them. you get to see MJ too.. [Michael Jordan] on the wall.. and a lot of falling in line.. :D plus dnt forget to buy your photos at the end. ;)


2nd Destination. Field Museum.

accdg to mr. google, it's a 41min walk. other option was to take taxi or the free trolly or a bus. we walked.. took a walking appreciation of downtown Chicago and it was fun. it was hot but it was a nyc experience. I got sun burn and i didn't care.. it's summer. [at least here, it is] the walk was enjoyable until we got to a turn... we reached Grant Park and a Lollapalooza event was going. That explained why we were suddenly walking with a whole bunch of people.. couples.. a band was on. people were wearing the best out of their summer wear... as in wow! felt i was in a beach. the sun was freakin' in heat pare! we were walking the street and i felt every drop of perspiration moving down my back. ugh! are we there yet?!!!

so we got there and saw the architectural columns... oooh... wow! piktuuuuuuuur!!!! what a view! im definitely away from home... we got in and huwaw! T-REX men! waahahahaha... elephants.. as if i was in a movie.. i felt like all the other kids around.. look MOM! look! so amazed! and then we headed to McDonalds.. hehe. tomguts pare! after we headed to the very interesting "Underground Adventure". (crap!) hehe.. kht onting adventure wala. it really was for kids... the museum composes of three(3) floors... so last stop was upstairs.. we passed by some of them just so we get get a glance of everything and we went it to look at our "Evolving Planet" and took a fast flashback from 400 billion years ago. (so, meron tlga dinosours dati!?!) =p woo! enjoy!

3rd Destination. Shedd Aquarium.

whoa! long line! but thanks to City Pass we didn't have to be in it. :D wooh... fishes! hang dami! can't really choose where to start... hahhahaha.... we got seperated from the pack... [haha! prang wolves lng] we started roaming around the oceanarium, then the underwater viewing deck?! hehe. then i saw the dolphins, a show was on-going. ooh! astig! i never knew that they swim upside down underwater.... huwhaaay?! and i was never prepared for a nyc shot! hahahaha! afterwards, we decided to go someplace else while waiting for the next show. we headed to "Wild Reef" and to our surprise it was an exhibit of... drum roll please.... about Pilipinas. It even said in the entrance: Welcome to the Philippines. We're home. Saw shars, stingrays, "Dori" fish, corals, corals and corals... =p Mabuhay! Kudos!

and then we're off to the oceanarium again, run a quick pass to the Beluga whales then we headed to the seats. txted the other pack to join us. Show started on time and the seats were filled. The dolphins were cute. The show was pwede na... haha! I expected more. Last stop, the penguins. the glass was already all wet and full of moist. I can barely see them and i think they're tired. aaawww...

4th Destination. NEXT WEEK.... to be continued.

it's been a week

july 19. i got on a plane at 9am to tokyo, japan; narita airport. it was a 4hr flyt via JAL (Japan Airlines) Yep. there were a lot of Japenese going to Japan. haha! the plane fud was kinda ok. i can say that it was really catered to satisfy the way of the samurai.. hehe. so we got there (me and 3 other) and saw more Japanese.. hehe! i saw one and his eyes was unbelievable merely like a line.
(i should've took a picture!) whoa! tlga! i can say that the Japanese knows how to dress and represent themselves.. especially the guys.. they are clean, formal and are classic business man types and they pack light unlike other nationality i know.. like me.. haha! nweiz, so we were there trying to get our next leg of the flyt race... to chicago. we were scheduled to be leaving by 4pm but... a very fortunate event happened. me and another colleague was called through the terminal... and we met this japanese girl...

she said: "you came from the philippines right? and you are on you're way to chicago?"
we said: "yes"
she said: "we are currently overbooked with our flyts today.. so would you be interested in taking the next flight and we will upgrade you to business class?"
we said: "sure"
she said: "ok, thanks for your cooperation"

wohoo! a free ride to business lounge came with it. unlimited drinks and snacks with the business class people... hahaha! since we are filipino, we shared our tickets to our 2 other friends so they could enjoy the same priveledge.. hey! we got it for free.. so it's just right to share and like i said... we are filipinos.. hahaha! we snatch a lot of snacks as we can.. so we dnt go hungry, money saved right? we were doing that for about 4hrs til we get on our flyts.. hehe.

and then the wait ended and we had to leave... we walked in a red carpet. cool d b? we didn't get the chance to buy any souvenir coz we didn't really wanted to spend... only souvenir i took was these pictures. yep. you're seeing a weird sign. i dnt wna give the detailed pictures on what it means.. better see it first-hand!



july 20. we were flying and enjoying the business class ride to chicago. i should say wow! ganun pla pag business class.. upgrade lht. fud was coming right after another... di ko na tlga sya makain nung huli except of course for the dessert. hehe. cheesecake! woo! sarap! uber bloated and busog! there was wine, nuts, salads, chicken, juice, coffee, fruits, bread, veggies, etc. like there's no tomorrow.. and some of the drinks come with refill... san ka pa? they give the usual stuff but upgraded... thicker kumot, mas ok sa sounds na headset, mas kumpleto na groom kit (which i took home), slippers, ala lazy-boy seats (with massage function and TV/Radio) so the 13hrs was great!

we arrived in chicago about pass 5pm july 19. tooked awhile to get everything done.. immigration, buggage and the call for taxi. haha! di nmin alam pano e. we were calling at the wrong phone. nweiz, we got home... our taxi driver was an Albanian of the American Taxi Dispatch Service. took about 30mins.. as we were looking around i can say it was a nyc lookin neighborhood...

and i said.. this is it. as we opened the door to our new house.. "this is it!" and "whoa!" "waaaaaaaaah" "ang ganda nman d2" "oh wow!" "grabe!" haha! in short i enjoyed what i saw... i never imagined something like it. it was a complete house and a very nyc house in fact ---- fully furnished with balcony, kitchen stuff like all cooking materials, microwave, dishwasher, oven.. flat TV and DVD plus the room.. wow!!!!!! (i jump on it! haha!)

since we just got here then... we had dinner at our other colleagues house.. with inuman til midnight... hehe.

then the next day(the chicago july 20) they took us for grocery... im not a cook, il cook what i can... so that pretty much inspired the grocery... which meant canned goods, for fried stuff, for pasta stuff and other home stuff... we amount to $214 / 2 = $107 each. a month's worth grocery. :D bought fones too.. had them loaded and activated... visited some other colleagues.. inuman! (try mike's hard time!) sabi nila beer 2x daw un pro di nman ako msyado tinamaan... hehe. (malakas tolerance ko.. tsk tsk)


july 21. (chicago time) our first day at work. needed time-in was 9am. we left house almost 830.. haha. pa-VIP. we didn't have our car for the carpool yet so the rent-a-car service took us to their place first to pick it up and then go to the office.. woo! crunch time.. haha! we were given a Chrysller. not the coolest ride we wanted but this saves gas and it's still a Chrysller. no other available mazda 6. huhuhuhuhu... our other service car is a mazda 6 and mazda 3. astig!

so we got the car and drove to office. we got lost for a while but we got back.. hehehe... arrived almost 930. met with Mr. Marshall and Mr. Wiener and the others.. meet up with the Department and other counterparts on the client-side... short overview meeting... got settled on our workstation... (we got a office phone each and its not an ordinary phone) took us for a tour.. got our IDs taken so we get our access badges. took lunch at the canteen for $5-$6 max. received our laptops then configured (wahaha.. so may 2 ako ngaun..) and started on some reading....


july 22 - 25. every work day was pretty much the same day. checking-in mail.. conversing with the client team. doing the task.. statusing back n forth.. taking pictures(haha!) after work, we got a habbit of going to TARGET (kita ko si Megatron n Star Scream; nglaro din ako PS3 coming soon na game kso nakalimutan ko... astig! prang street race.. ok ung pag-crash astig sa graphics). it was WALMART/FRESH FARM for the first days.. haha! i dunno why.. there seem to be always a reason to go. it's our new 5 o'clock habit. yep we were checkin in at 9 then checkin out at 5. we have a 30mins lunch time and a 15min break for mornin and afternoon. lufet! internet is available but not encouraged. laptop is for you and for work, install is available but also not encouraged. :D

at 5pm the sun will be like it was 1/2pm in Manila. really hot. at 8-9pm, the sun is still up. and then you are expected to take dinner at 6-7pm. and slyp.. whoa d b? pano mo ggwin un? eh may araw pa? hehehe..... im home at an average of 6-7pm.. 7-73opm, we prepare dinner. my housemate cooks the rice and i cook the ulam... walang rice cooker e... so di ako marunong sa kaldero... i fry. i do any breakfast. i make pasta. i know the simplest dish: adobo, nilaga. ano pa ba? wala na.. hehe. at 730-9, we eat dinner... and start the dishwasher.. clean the kitchen. 9 onwards.. i watched the TV, log on the net(8am nun sa Pilipinas), call home or be called here or have a house party... haha! we do come around and visit each other... (kht mgkakasama na kmi buong araw) they liked our place the best bcoz of the balcony.

last thursday was movie night for RCG Chicago. The Dark Knight din. daming pictures sa entrance.. hehehe... watched the 730 slot. finished at 10. mahal ng fud.. no one wanted to buy except ung mga sobrang gutom. shared the popcorn and giant drinks.

then last friday (being it our first friday) we had a house party.. i volunteered the house and the sounds(may dala ko speaker) and chips, sila sa the rest (fud, beer, etc) til 12 rin ata kmi.. cut short kc we'll be having the team building the next day..


july 26. team building. yep. it's my first team building with RCG and luckily d2 ko pa sa chicago sya na-experience. i met other RCG folks este saw lng pla.. hehe.. they have their names and all pro i didn't really get the chance to talk kc late kmi.. we are suppose to be there by 9 pro almost 10 na kmi dumating.. dahil sa isang ka-bad3pan na morning na ginawa ng mga boys... haay.. napikon tlga ko.. hmpf! boys will be boys and there's 7 of them, wala pa ung ibang kakilala pa nmin...

so we got to the venue. ate McDo sponsored breakfast with matching Dunkin coffee and the games started.

1st stop, was the "get to know other RCG questionairre game". hehe.. i was suppose to go mingle and ask others for the answers but then i ask around our group and do it. haha! bad3p kc ko e.. wala ko sa mood mk-mingle. nweiz, i saw other ex-antico seniors... can't help but talked to them with Sir.. nagagalit sila.. hehhe.

2nd stop, "form a group thru Taco Making game". we were taco incredients that needed to combine and form a group, in the end we were called the green team (soz!)

3rd stop, the "ala Amazing Race form Cars Puzzle game". there were clues for each puzzle piece group that we have to search around Century Park (di nman sya malaki, masyadong malaki lng!) the park was very nyc and very relaxing, very picture opt place.... there was a lake where you can fish and has a dock. when we arrive a fat man was there fishing as we are running along the docks that shakes the floor which got him to yell at us. "what are you up to?" (duh?!!) we finished 2nd place.

4th stop, the "very complex, very hard and full of rules group obstacle game". there had to be 5 members that needed to be put through a small size hulahoop without touching being it above the ground (so bubuhatin), other 5 members would need to ski using wood planks tied on weak strings on the grass and back(so iipitin mo na lng sa toes), then all 10 members needs to be blindfolded in returning to the start line where they will pass zigzags... and a paper window like structure that need not be stepped-on or moved (so nandaya kmi sa blindfold) eh pucha! ang hirap e! we finished 3rd.

attempted 5th stop, "4-way tag of war that never worked game". it never worked... the ropes are too thin and too weak.

5th stop, "water transfer on bottle relay game" members just needs to be fast in transferring water to a bottle then run to and back. we finished 2nd in speed and 2nd in water content.

over-all champion, kmi.... tied with blue team! damn! (luto!) we were the newbies team and we did great! mga bibo e! we made a name. :D

after awarding, picture taking and we're off to Best Buy. soz... ang daming ok bilin.. DSLR, PS, Laptop(again), Cordless.. hehe tsaka na cguro... iisipin ko muna.. bka ung DSLR na muna. :D and the 2nd bad3p momment. nakow.

july 27. looks like we are not going anywhere today. we were suppose to go to church but our driver had OTY. puyat! 9am na natulog.. church is at 11. the car is registered to him so anyone else is not allowed to drive. im not confident na walang mangyayari sa amin.. yoko mahuli with a car not registered to my name... hehe... dapat kc ngpa-authorize kc kmi nung ni-rent sya.. (kso di nmin un ginawa.. after a month na un ma-eedit)

nweiz.. so we woke up late. mga 9am. hehe! had breakfast, then started preparing lunch (weekend so dish kmi dapat.. adobo this weekend) while watching Parent Trap. haha! then do laundry... lunch. iron clothes. fold. vacuum house. then sit around and chillax. hehe sabi ko mkksabay ako mg-jog kung sino man.. or mg-gym(pra mg-jog) kung sino man at least an hr. kso minutes lng nila trip.. wahahha.. labo. at minutes nga lng sila ngstay.... there were 2 of the boys... for 15minutes ata.. haha... then they drop by here.. wala lng.. (nanggulo at nanginain...) took off with my mem card (digicam) then bbalik daw mmya for CS (meron kmi at mga adik tong mga boys) at mkk-laba sila... (may nglalaba daw sa knila)

oooops... pass 8 na pla.. hehe... maliwanag pa kc e.. better have dinner. :D so there...
i'm here in chicago and it's been a week.
