The month of November was so far my busiest month ever! That's the reason why I was not able to do any blog.
NOVEMBER 1, 2011- My whole family spent the whole afternoon in cemetery to spend some time with our relatives who passed away.
NOVEMBER 4, 2011- My half brother, Leon, celebrated his first birthday. :) Luckily, my boyfriend, Vincent who will be leaving by November 7, was able to come home with me in Bulacan to celebrate with us. But we spent so little time in Bulacan and we went back in Manila to watch Ginebra game (it's our first time to watch a PBA game live together) long day indeed!
I've decided to set this Basketball game before he left because it's been our plan for monthssss already! Finally! the day came that we're able to watch our favorite team play LIVE!watched together with Vincent,his cousin, Kevin and Kevin's Girlfirend. A well played ball game although Ginebra lost in this game still a game to remember! :)
NOVEMBER 5, 2011- It's Vincent's despedida! We went to SM Mall of Asia and watch Puss in Boots 3d together with our closest friends namely, Gab, Erwin, and Ruth (Gab's girlfriend). We had lunch at Gerry's Grill and went to Timezone for some arcade time.

After that tiring afternoon , we went back to our dorm to have some rest and wait for John and Raechelle. When they arrived we've decided to stay a bit in the dorm and play 4 in a row. couples battle! Gab and Ruth played first and the record was 10-5 in favor of Ruth. And then Vincent challenge me to play the game, so i accepted it. After 5 games the score was 4-1. And it's in favor of me of course! :) Ruth and I teased the guys "LOSERS" and finally, John and Chelle played the game! and for the win, Chelle won the game with a reacord of 5-1. :) We girls laughed to death because the guys scores were really low.
And then after the 4 -in-a-row games we've decided to eat dinner at Bulaluhan sa Espana. the food satisfied our hunger. it did not take us a lot of time eating, afterwards we went to Lacson to play Rockband (our favorite bonding session when we're in college)

NOVEMBER 6, 2011-The rockband session was really fun!! 3 hours of laughing, teasing and singing. :) we've decided to do it a battle between girls and boys. the song will be played twice (one for the girls and on for the boys) The guys thought that by this time they will win over us. But they expected too much! HAHAHHA! SORRY GUYS! WE GIRLS RULE! we won over them even though they are really great on playing but we're great on singing. :)) YAY! :) I forgot the score, I think it's 11-9 in favor of us, girls! :)
John, Gab, Vincent
The Kolokoys!! :)
We're teasing them all night looooongggggg! :) We went back to the dorm to get our stuffs. We don't have plans for that night after that rockband session. And because it's Vincent's last weekend, they want to spend the whole night with we ended up going to their house in Caloocan at around 1am. When we arrived at their house, his relatives were playing poker so he joined them and John too! while the girls and Gab were playing 4-in-a-row and some ipad games. We slept at around 4am I think. I did not sleep, I can't sleep knowing that I'll just be spending 1 more day with him. I was in tears that night when light turned off.
At around 8:30 am I went back to dorm to have some sleep, change clothes and to get some stuff that I will give to Vincent. unfortunately, I still can't sleep! so I just took a bath, prepare some stuff and then went back to Caloocan. We spent the day, eating, playing Pusoy, FB etc. John came back at around 10pm because he'll coming with us to the airport. at around 12pm they started preparing I was quiet the whole time because I know if ever I will hear a word in relation to his leave it will just trigger my tears. He asked me for a hundred time if I'm going to cry. I don't answer it because I'm sure tears will automatically fall from my eyes.
NOVEMBER 7, 2011- Time came that we have to leave his place and go to the airport. we left his house at a little bit over 2am. While w're in the car, he was sleeping and I was crying. Time came, we arrived at the airport at around 3.30 am. And he left. :( That was heartbreaking! I did not cry in the airport when he left but when I arrived home, BOOM! I was crying out loud. I was so depressed. I can't sleep even though I am not yet sleeping for two straight days. He texted while he was in airport using his cousin's phone. That made me relax. So I fell asleep. At around 5.30 am he texted me "hoy lakas mo magdasal eh noh? hindi kami nakasakay may problema pa ulit" and another text at around 8 am "bahay na kami ulit hahaha pagod much" when I read, I got confused. at first I did not believe it, and try to sleep again. at around 12 pm, he texted me again. by that time I am sure of it that they did not leave. Mixed emotions indeed. I don't know what to say. another extension for us! :) when I woke up around 2pm, I contact my friends, Shari and Camille to ask their where abouts. and they told me that they're going to Rob Manila. since It's been a while since the last time I went out with them, I've decided to follow them there. When I arrived at the place, we're looking for this shoe salon for Camille to be able to buy the shoes the she wants. unfortunately she did not see the shoes she"s been looking for. what a disappointment for her. Because of that they've decided to go to Mall of Asia to see if there is the shoes that she's been looking for. And thank God, we found it! I was rushing by that time 'cause it;s kinda late already and I have Bridal shower to attend to. After buying the shoes, we've decided to eat our dinner at a Korean Restaurant somewhere in Malate. and the food was okay. :) at around 10.30pm I arrived home. and yes! I am late for the party. The party started already. By the time I came in I saw a young man doing dirty dances. I was in the state of shock! It was my first time to saw that kind of performance, LIVE! I thought the party would just be simple, but no! it was fabulous. games, over flowing drinks, foods, and the stripper. the party ended at around 1am. i rush to go home because I was really exhausted because of the sleepless weekend.
NOVEMBER 8, 2011- I went to work and get back to the dorm right after because we'll be seeing each other. We spend the afternoon together. We waited for Gab to ask him of he wants to go with us at West Ave for dinner. :) We ate at Dad's, Kamayan, Saisaki and happy tummy for all of us.

Vincent and Yca <3
NOVEMBER 9, 2011- He went to US Embassy to attend a seminar for Immigrants right after his seminar, he went to the dorm and spent another day together. :) We went to TriNoma to buy a dress for my cousin's wedding. and then we went back to UST to have some haircut and ate at Mang Inasal at around 9pm, late dinner indeed. He's thinking if he'll go home or would be sleeping over in our dorm. And happy me, he ended up sleeping at our dorm. :) It will be Gab's 21st birthday the following day. We've decided to welcome it together. We bought some drinks and food at Mini stop.
NOVEMBER 10, 2011- we're all waiting for 12 midnight to arrive to greet Gab. and finally, midnight came and we're all up to greet him. cheers! we played Pusoy dos while drinking, chatting and laughing another fun day with them. moments to remember!! :)

One more time. :))
NOVEMBER 11, 2011- The big day! It's the day my whole family have been waiting for, the wedding of the year. :) I'm up at around 8 a because my sister picked me up around 9.30 and went straight to Manila Hotel to prepare for the wedding. The make up artist arrived LATE! and we're all in a rush. We went to Manila Cathedral at around 4.25, we're not late. HAHAHA! The entourage started wlaking around 4.28pm. and the wedding started on time. The Mass was fast.so by 6pm we're back in the Manila Hotel for the reception. The place was perfect and lovely. dance presentaions, AVP's , games they're done by 10.30pm. after that it's PARTY TIME! dance all night, drink all night, photo booth all night long. It was indeed a perfect wedding. The preparation was toxic but after the wedding it's all worth it. Congratulations Ate liit and Kuya Dave stay in love! :)
NOVEMBER 12, 2011- Went to SM Fairview with Vincent and had some Karaoke time and early dinner. Went home in Bulacan at around 7pm:)
NOVEMBER 13, 2011- Day before he leave. :c I attended Celestine's Baptism at around 11.30 am. right after we went back home for the reception and to watch Pacman's game. I was supposed to leave the compound at around 1pm but I was not able to do that because of Pacman's game. hahaha! :)
I left at 3pm and arrived at our dorm by 5pm. changed clothes and went straight to Vincent's place and attended the 7pm mass. After the mass, we went home and waited for John and Chelle they bought us some dinner from Chicboy. after an hour or two they have to leave because it's kinda late and chelle's parents were looking for her. We walked them upto the waiting area. And when we're heading back home, we stopped at Vincent's friend house who was celebrating his birthday. And he was an instant celebrity!! Everyone of them wants to hug him and talk to him. I can tell, they were a bit tipsy by that time. :) They've been telling Vincent to take care, my shoe is 8, go back home as soon as possible, etc. You can feel how much they will miss their buddy, Dota-mates, basketball teammate and so on and son on. So they walked us back home. When we arrived at their home, one of their friends was crying already. and I can sense that Vincent would cry anytime soon but hie holding it back (he's good at it, btw.) I went inside their house and play Khyle since it might also be the last time this year that I would be able to do that. tears shed outside their house, his whole barkada were there already saying their final last goodbyes.
Yca and Ate Abbey :)
Vincent, Khyle, Yca :))
NOVEMBER 14, 2011- This is another heartbreaking day. This is it! This is really is it! :( I officially welcomed the Long Distance Relationship. It's sad but I know he's worth the risk. This challenge would be the hardest, but I know we can do this. Tears fell from my eyes when Tita decided to go home. I waved at him for the last time. I thought I was ready, but sadly I am still not. I was alone in our dorm and i cried for the 100th time. We texted until they're ready to fly. This time it's for realllz. I slept wearing his jersey cause by that time I already miss him.
heartbreaking </3
I know we're miles and miles and miles away, but you'll forever be in my heart.
I went home in Bulacan with my not so puffy eyes. (thank goodness). I rested 'cause I am dead tired with all the occasions. Finally, it's time for me to rest. I woke up around 6pm and rushed in to the shower to get ready. I was not informed that Briana's birthday celebration (my ever so kulit pamangkin) will be held by that night. Our dad picked us up at around 7pm. Most of my cousins were asking me about my boyfriend and their migration. And I was just in poker face mode. :) went home a bit late. and was not able to sleep well because I am waiting for my boyfriend's message that they arrived safely.
NOVEMBER 15, 2011- around 5 am Manila time, Vincent's mom texted me and told me that they're already with their Papa. Finally, after the long wait they arrived safe. Thank you Lord! LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP, WE'RE READY FOR YOU!! :))
NOVEMBER 17, 2011- It's our little princess Nikka's 5th birthday. :) and for the first time, she and her family celebrated her birthday here in the Philippines. But Ate Lake, Nikka's mom, decided to celebrate it on a Friday so that most of kids can come. What just they did was we just ate at Greenwich Waltermart. Overflowing foods and drinks, pizza, pasta, chicken, french fries, name it!! Happy time mode courtesy of Ate Joyce and family. By 5pm, the whole family went to they basketball court to watch Kuya Nikko and kuya dick's game. unfortunately, bad luck for them they lose the game. :l
Let the game begin! :)) Kuya Nikko is the wearing the #10 jersey and Kuya dick wearing the #18 jersey.
NOVEMBER 18, 2011- almost every morning and evening we do video chat to update us in our everyday activity. By 1pm Manila time we're done chatting and I went down t see how's it going, the preparation for Nikka's party. I helped on doing the Pabitin and ate late lunch. We also did some Jell-o shots. it's my first time to do hear it and do it. after all the preparations, I fell asleep and woke up at around 5pm. BOOM! it's all set! the party is on! clowns, foods, guests, we're almost complete. we all waited for the kids to arrive since it was a weekday all of them would be coming straight from school. It was absolutely a fun night. everyone enjoyed it even the adults. Jell-o shots were served by 9pm. TADA!! perfect Jell-o shots! not too strong. and everyone got addicted to the Jell-o shots. the party ended by 3am I think. :)
yummy lechon! :)
NOVEMBER 20, 2011- It's Daniel's surprise birthday party planned by Laya, his girlfriend. Because he's waiting for PBA game, Vincent stayed late but eventually he was not able to make it. :p after our super long chat, I went to Cuabo to meet Joey, John and Ted. The meet up time was 7.30 and I was there by 7.15. THEY'RE ALL LATE!! hahaha! :) Joey arrived first and then John followed after 15 minutes, Ted met us in Santolan station. We bought some food to bring. by 9pm we were already there. :) Ojay, Cy, Raymond, Diego, Allan arrived just in time. I was super happy to see them, SPS Family. they turned the lights off, clue that Daniel will arrive anytime. And that's it! Daniel arrived, as expected he said his expressions and asked "why are you here? how did you go here?" after months and months, finally, we saw each other again. I missed him so much. Daniel is one of my closest guy friends. I already knew he would tease me right after he saw me, and I am right! he just did it! hahaha! He woll never be Daniel if he would not tease anybody. we laughed all night long and drink of course. :) by the time it;s past 12 we said our good byes cause almost all of us would be going home to far away land. Raymond dropped us in Philcoa, rode a taxi and went to the our dorm.
Ted, Daniel, Joey, and me :)
NOVEMBER 24, 2011- another Basketball game of my cousins. and it's the last game for Kuya Nikko since they're flight is on November 28. It's a good game indeed. a well battled basketball game. although they lose in the game, still it;s a fair play. :) I saw my town Idol in the game named Kimpee Castillo and my high school schoolmate Kyle (who is really good at playing basketball) the game was over by 10.30pm and we're all not eating dinner! we're super hungry!!! we bought some food and ate by past 11pm.
Hello, Kyle! :))
Kimpee Castillo :)

NOVEMBER 26-27, 2011- whole day of swimming! slept late and woke up early. That has been my cycle for couple of days already. my family had this swimming party at ACI in Pulilan. Swim, eat, swim, eat, swim, eat!! whole day of that! :)) by 5pm we're all set to go home. I'm tired!! but unfortunately, I still can't rest because I have another swimming party to attend, same place. call time was 6.30 pm but I arrived at around 9.30 cause I rest first before the over night party. almost all of the expected guests were there already and I was happy to see them all. It's been a while since the last time I saw them. As usual, the whole area was filled with laughter. :) Indeed, a night to remember it is! ANOTHER TIRING DAY!!

NOVEMBER 28, 2011- our first monthsary away from each other. Spent the day on front of my lappy. aside from it, it's another heartbreaking day. my cousins who stayed at our home for 55 days would go back to the states at this day. Our house would be back to normal, quiet. I will surely miss them, especially Aiden, Ate liit and kuya Dava's first born. He was the super kulit one and the super pilyo. tears shed our terrace when the time came that they need to go. Hopefully by next eyar, they can come here for Christmas because it's really different when we're complete by Christmas season, we're all extra happy. see you soon cousins! :))
NOVEMBER 30, 2011- last day of Sale in Havaianas. We're just suppose to go to Marquee mall in Angeles, but Daddy said that we'll just go SM Mall of Asia. Sad to say, I was not able to buy the slippers that I want. But tried another Milk Tea, Royal Milk Tea of Chatime. :))

Hapy reading! :))
