The Yummiest New Lawyer In Town Posted on Saturday, April 21, 2012 | 0 comments

Just a week after Kika's celebration, I was all set once more for another thanksgiving party.  This time it was for Ryan.

Ryan also passed 2011 BAR exams so kelangan bongga talaga ang celebration and most of all ako talaga ang nagbalita sa kanya that he passed.  But then, naguluhan ako sa sobrang excitement. I thought I saw the list of BAR passers.  Yun pala it was a list of BAR examinees for the year.  Oh diba? Kaloka! Buti nalang talaga eh pumasa si Ryan and confirmed na rin naman. Hence, this celebration.

I was super excited kasi syempre, proud friend ako! HAHAHA! Doting na nga on a certain level.

Actually, Ryan invited all my friends kahit hindi nya raw friend but then they were all busy.  Yung iba may flight, yung iba may date, and timing lang din that some went to Hong Kong to party at LKF. Hanggang ngayon envious parin ako! Soon soon! Watch out lang ang LKF na yan!

Best in recorded message pa naman ako using Kara's phone na sobrang daming takes! Imbyerna na ang lola mo sa kakaulit but supportive pa rin sya... Actually, wala syang choice kundi kunan talaga ako ng video because I was really begging for it. 

With a happy face, I flew to my friend Honey's condo para sabay kami pumunta sa condo ni Ryan since dun na nga kami magmi-meet with Ryan.  Syempre, hitch kami sa carlalooo ni Ryan.  On our way to Ryan's condo at The Fort, niloko pa kami ng taxi driver.  Best in Bisaya kasi kami ni Honey inside the cab and we did not realize na napalayo na kami.  But we arrived safely at Burgos Circle.  I was hungry so mega kain kami ng fries sa Wham Burgers.  Pictorials sana kami ni Honey using her digicam when we realized that she left her battery in her condo!  So before leaving the house, make sure that your batteries are attached to your gadgets or at least dapat malapit sa gadget nyo. Tapos all the while, we thought Ryan was going to pick us up sa Wham Burgers, yun pala nasa gym pa sya! Kelangan talaga mag-gym before the party? Well, kita naman ang hirap ni Ryan sa hunky body nya.  Eventually, nakuha din namin ang battery ang off we went to Alitagtag, Batangas!

At Ryan's condo... Pose pose muna kami ni Honey while Ryan was getting ready for the trip... 

On our way to Alitagtag, inulan pa kami ng bonggang bongga!  Stopover then go nanaman kami with our journey in life.

After almost 3 hours, nakarating din kami! =) At last! Malayo din naman pala and Ryan's mom has been calling.  Kaya nag Michael Schumacher na si Ryan and of course... SILENT type na kami sa likod.  

Sa sobrang bongga ng celebration... kailangan talaga ang mga borta police of Alitagtag, Batangas!  Walang nagbabantay sa kabayanan dahil andito sila lahat. 

Ikay and Ryan outside the mansion... Dyan nga pala kami natulog but meron pa yang twin mansion na napagitnaan ng gymnasium.  Akalain mo! May sarili pa silang gymnasium..

With Ryan's Ateneo Law School friends with their wives and girlfriends... Ang hirap kabisaduhin ang names nila! Super dami... =) 

At eto pa ang winner! Ang kanyang buong angkan... Chos! Basta dyan, kasama namin yung family ni Ryan except ata his Dad... Sobrang busy sila that night! Tsaka sobrang dami talaga ng tao!

Nag-moment din ako sa Alitagtag, Batangas! Feeling ko Big Dome lang! And na-realize ko na kailangan ko na talaga i-memorize ang Bad Romance by Lady Gaga para maitodo ko ang dance moves ko!  In fairness naman, enjoy na enjoy and crowd.  Napressure lang ako kaunti kasi ang mga sinundan kong mag-perform eh the likes of Sitti and Barry Manilow! 

But carry lang kasi KABOOOOWG pa din like the fireworks below wherein , ginulat ang puppy ni Ikay at talagang nag-poo poo sa turquoise nya na dress.  

After my peformance may fireworks! Mega palit ako ng damit sa sobrang basa ko ng pawis! Yuck diba? Pero carry talaga... Kasi feeling ko mission accomplished ako for making Ryan, his family, his friends, and the whole Batangas happy!

For now, I'll just pout and wait for another story to chika with you guys!

Most likely, alam nyo na why this post is so gay --- tinamad talaga ako mag-English! 

Bongga ang title ng post.... May halong pagnanasa! HAHAHA! Love you Ry! =)

Legally Gold! - Atty. Kika's Thanksgiving Party at Opus Posted on Saturday, April 14, 2012 | 0 comments

About roughly two weeks or less since the results of the 2011 BAR exams came out, we sashayed to Opus at Resorts World Manila to celebrate Karen's thanksgiving party for passing the said exam.

I did not have plans of going out but for Karen, who we fondly call Kika, I just had to exist.

Everybody was in the mood to party... Some flew in from Hong Kong and of course Dumaguete to make this date very memorable for Kika.

I've even heard from a "reliable source" that someone spent a little less than 20k for such a couch party.

The bottles above were there for the sole reason that alcohol is equivalent to fun not until the moment you get out of the club feeling all wasted.  We wrote our well-wishes on that Grey Goose bottle for Kika's safekeeping and to keep her reminded of that one fun-funny night.

We had one waiter assigned to us for the whole night and we thank him for being so patient with all our requests for photos and a marker (pentel pen).

The pentel pen story was ridiculous! We asked our waiter to get us a marker so we can write something on the Grey Goose bottle for the low low price of Php 500.  A marker for Php 500!  I cannot believe it.

I think that's how special Kika is to Budat. 

The night cannot just wrap up without some boy on the sidelines.  He was this sweet boy from Ilo-ilo who was more than happy to strike a pose with your very own VIVI!

I rocked this clutch which was so Alexander McQueen.  

I am loving this look! 

So tipsy geisha ...

Before heading home, we ate the night away at Cafe Republiq and marked the end of our diets while the celebrant - Atty. Kika walked barefoot at Resorts World holding a plastic that saved her life!

The Lovely Kara Has Arrived Posted on Wednesday, March 21, 2012 | 2 comments

My summer started early when my best friend Kara arrived from New Jersey last March 5.

In one of our trips to the mall which is just a bridge away from the hotel... The same spot where we saw Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes who we taught was Heart Evangelista and Daniel Matsunaga... (LONGEST CAPTION!!!)

At the poolside, making the most of our hotel stay...

I did not get the chance to pick her up at the airport because I was on-duty so I went directly to EDSA Shangri-la bringing some Chicken Joy (2 pcs), Jolly Spaghetti, and sans the Peach Mango pie because it was out of stock. (Grrrrr!)

I know how famished she was! =)) And I know how much she missed Jollibee.

I was very excited because it was almost a year ago since the last time I saw her and we always had the most fond of memories.

First, we had to go to Shangri-la Mall because she needed some hair-pampering. I was more than willing to be her chaperon. Catch-up moments at the salon can be fun.

After freshening up, we just waited for her cousin Justine and went straight to Agave where our other friends hung out.

The common denominator is? Justine! =) While waiting for our orders...

Had some chimichangas, nachos, and unlimited Margarita which tasted like pure sugar.

Patty, ViVi, Kara and GJ ---- Showing off our best poses!

Only one person liked this photo on Facebook.... Don't you think this photo is pretty? HAHAHA!

It was time to level up the fun so we went to Skye Lounge at W Tower. The place was pretty chill and the plastic grass was relaxing to the feet. The people weren't dancing so I obliged and danced the night away.

No caption needed! LOL!

The world is a big dance floor! =)
