A nice Reunion


Konbanwa Mina-san!!!

Today was both disappointing and lovely. Disappointing because the position I applied for was granted to me. Apparently, I was very critical when I evaluated a call. LOL! Anyway, it was kind of frustrating but, I guess, God has prepared my heart to accept it since he revealed it to me earlier this morning when I did my Quiet Time. Perhaps, this is not the right time yet. Hope I get the post next time. Moving forward, I have to do my best next time.

Despite the fact that I was disappointed, today was not all that bad. We had a semi-reunion earlier with Tina. Tina is one of my closest and trusted friend. A person of wisdom and unafraid to state what needs to be said. She is just one of the circle of five people; me and Jhay are both part of it. The other two, I will introduce on a latter time. Tina works in Batangas, a 2-hour ride from where we are. She is a chemist who works for one of the biggest name in the world of gasoline.

We were so excited to see each other since it was quite a while from the last time I saw her. The other time she came here, my schedule wouldn't permit it. Today was different though. Even when I still had a meeting, I asked permission from my supervisor that I will be leaving early because I have to be somewhere else. Fortunately, I was granted my request.


When, finally, everyone arrived, we started walking and looking for a place to sit, eat and talk. Then Tina, as she always is, knew a good place to it in the mall. So she suggested that we try WHAM burgers. Honestly, I didn't know that there was a place in that name in the mall where I often go. But Tina, on the other hand, always knew the whereabouts of certain shops because she is a certified mallrat. And that truth is self-confessed. LOL! Go Tina!











When we got to the place, Tina ordered the food and had ourselves seated afterward. We started talking; well..., we continued our topic while walking towards the burger shop. We updated her about the latest news about ourselves and the latest buzz we heard.Then we reminisced those times when we were still working together. But our conversation were mostly the latest updates. It was fun! We talked and laughed a lot, especially when Jhay did all the talking. His vocabulary was very different and cute. Ahahaha!!! The food was tasty in all fairness to WHAM burgers. I was really full when I finished my share. After eating, we stayed a little bit longer then decided to take a stroll.

Since, we were really mallrats... we went to the department store to look for some hat and bonnet I had in mind. Unfortunately, the bonnets were out-of-stock, but as always, I didn't come out of the department store emptyhanded. I bought these plain black gloves that will be used with the clothes I had planned to purchase. Even if the clothes planned have not been purchased yet, I will be wearing these tomorrow. Anyway, after the department store, we went to BODY SHOP to have a look on their products. Jhay is thinking of buying a set of facial products. After the Body shop, we talked for a little while longer and then we had to part ways. It was sad that the time was quite short but am quite happy that I got to see Tina and got to spend some time with her. Jhay walked with me to Robinsons because he will be going to Quiapo to see his other friends. On our way and in the bus, we continued talking about our likes and dislikes. When we got to our stop. We alighted from the bus then went our own destinations.


I was totally exhausted because of the queue however seeing my closest friend helped relieved some of my stresses. Tomorrow is another day, I wonder what awaits for me then. Anyway, that's all for now!

sOREJya, MATA ne?!

OYASUMINASAI Mina-san!!!

an exhausting day!

Yesterday was kind of exhausting, I don’t know why! Anyway, I can’t remember much of what happened. The most that I can remember is that when I was on the bus on my way home. Then, I fell asleep and woke up realizing that I was past my stop. I had to wait for the bus to wait for its routine and paid an extra amount. When I got to my apartment, no one was there since my family has already left to go home to Laguna. A few minutes later though, ate Xyza and ate Marichu came knocking on my door. Then I remembered that my mom had already informed me that ate Xyza will be staying overnight at my apartment. Since ate Xyza is like family, I just let her be and let her attend to her own business while I went straight to my room to work on some articles for my other blogs. However, before I started to work, I had a talk with them first. Of course, since it was me, I blabbered about a lot of things. I guess, one could call it “updating people”. LOL! I was practically telling them what I saw doing and what I am studying. A little later, I left them alone to watch TV and went to work.

Not so long after, I got hungry. Guess what I had for diner. Well……………..?! : ) Okay, I’ll tell you. It is three slices of Yellow Cab pizza. I just couldn’t remember what time. Then I had a glass of soda to push the food down my throat. LOL!



After a dainty meal, I proceeded with working on my blogs. Oh I forgot to tell you guys that before I went home I purchased four items. They were a box of hook pins, a Japanese calendar, a hanging thingy and a padlock. The hook pins were for my necklace collection. Yes! I am starting a necklace collection. Since I already purchased a cork board beforehand, I only needed the hook pins to get my necklaces hanged and organized. Not only am I collecting necklaces but also I am collecting caps; and that was the reason for the hanging thingy. They will be used for to hang my caps so that it is easy to see and grab them. It will greatly help me when I fix myself in the morning. The other hanging thingy was for my belts. I have very few belts and I have not decided whether I should add more. I want to buy bonnets as well, I saw one at Megamall. It was the cutest thing. It was black with a glittery skull print, isn’t it cute. Going back to the items I have purchased, the third item was a Japanese calendar. I wanted to install a calendar in my room. Since I am studying Nihonggo, I believe that it would be beneficial if I bought a Japanese calendar; and so I did. The last item was a padlock. It is for my locker in the office.

The day was long, so after writing an article or two, I went to bed.

The Reunion


To continue my s
tory! As I stated in my earlier post, my old team from CVG decided to conduct a reunion Christmas party at RED BOX Trinoma. Many agreed, and the people who came includes me, Jhay, Dona, Jen, Zara, Jaja, Lani, Dhang, and Tony. It was fun seeing them again. It's just sad that the rest of the team couldn't make it. Wished they could come next time. Anyway, going back to what has transpired of our reunion.... well, how should I say it?! Hmmmm.... Well, it was buckets of fun. Everyone was laughing. Jhay and his antics are the best-sellers. Of course, the rest cracked jokes as well. Everyone has had their own shining moment. During the event, the sickness occurred. You see, whenever I am in a KTV and starts singing, I tend not to let go of the microphone and sing all sorts of song even those that I don't know. So, with great effort I tried letting go of the microphone every now and then.

While everyone was taking there turns singing some were already eating the food prepared for us by REDBOX. It's really delicious. In fact, I ate about 31/2 plates of food serving that excludes the rice count... ahahaha! To be honest, I am not really that hungry during that time but I had no choice but to eat a lot because we will be ask to pay an extra amount if there are leftovers. I guess that is one of the rules of ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT food. FIGURES! While eating that much food, I felt like I was committing sin; the sin of gluttony. Anyway, it was better than way than throw away food right. hehehe!

Moving on, my old team mates and I had a blast. We sang all sort of songs. And because we were such a silly group even the server was played a joke on the server. It was really a fun reunion. At the end of our time their, everyone had their exchange gift except for me. Sadly, I wasn't able to bring any but that doesn't matter... so long as I had fun.... I didn't lose anything.... LOVE you girls! Hope we do it again next time!

A Meeting with a Friend!








KOMBAN MINA-san!

It was and still is an exciting and tiring day!

Today, I meet with one of my closest friend from CVG, JHAY! Today, we are suppose to go to a reunion party with the rest of our old team mates from CVG at 12 noon. Since that is the case, we decided to go to the mall early; and we did. It's been long since I last saw this friend of mine so I obliged myself to go to the meeting place early. I miss talking to him. We met at around 10:30am in front of Timezone. After seeing each other, we decided to stroll around the mall so we can check for thhe price of an airbed. Unfortunately, the personnel who was suppose to attend to us was far too slow that we decided to leave and find a place to rest instead. After a while, we decided to get ourselves some drinks from Starbucks. The pictures I'm posting along this blog are those that we took while taking a break at Starbucks. We talked about a lot of things. I updated him about the current happenings of my life and he did the same. I was amazed, shocked and disturbed when I heard his story. I am happy that I got to talk to Jhay today.... him and his personal vocabulary... After sitting for an hour in Starbucks, we decided to get ourselves fresh in the restroom and register at REDBOX. Unfortunately, we had to wait for 30minutes before our registration can be processed so we decided to sing a song or two at TIMEZONE. I miss singing with Jhay. He owns this awesome voice that I envy. Anyway, not long after we were singing... Jhay received a text message from the rest of the gang. It seems that they have arrived. So we went to meet them and proceeded with our reunion Christmas Party! I'll continue the story with my next post!
