See You Again, Tere!

-
Blogging today to share that one of my dearest friends, Tere will be leaving real soon to Canada. :( It's really sad because she's one of my life-long friends and I've never been a fan of seeing friends leaving. Huhu. I've known Tere since 2004 (if my memory is serving me right), and we first met online, through Tabulas (a blog site that was so famous during early 2000's). Fast forward to 2006, never did we expect that we'll end up being college blockmates because we were really just online friends. Plus, I live in the province and she's a city girl. Hehe. Then here we are now, both one of the "Boys", our college barkada. Small world, right? Hehe. And up until now, she really is one of the friends that I've really kept. :) 

She's also the very reason why I'm enjoying my current job so much. She has hugely helped me with my entire employment since from the very very start. That's why aside from all the things that she has done for me as a friend, I really owe her big time for helping me have a good career path. Many thanks again, Bulos! Hihi. <3 <3 <3

She's leaving this month, BTW. And since we're all (our barkada) crunching with time, we decided to hold a simple send-off party for her. We had it at Bubba Gump (Greenbelt) and we started at past 1PM, yesterday. It was really simple because we weren't able to put any decorations anymore and all. Instead, we just prepared some stuff for her, like the "Moving To Canada Starter Pack" (LOL) and handwritten letters from all of us in our group. And to cherish these moments, here are the pictures from yesterday:

 *Grabbed photos from Jamie.


She looks so happy when she saw the "Moving To Canada Starter Pack". Hehe.

 

"Puruntong" PJs from Jona. Haha. JK, Jonabels! Labyu!

And Filipino goodies from the lady beside her, Aimee.


Bonnet and gloves for the winter, care of Jamie and other stuff like Efficascent Oil, Salonpas, Chili Patches, travel blanket that we thought will help her endure the cold weather there in Saskatchewan.


The next part of our mini programme for Tere is one of the exciting ones - eating time. LOLLL.


Shrimper's Heaven.
Huge Mud Pie that we all loved! *drools*

LOOK!
Chocolate Chip Cookie, one of their bestseller's. :)

Then after all the eating and all, we just had some catching up & gift givings. We had a box of Alfredo chocolates fresh from Malaysia and cute string bags from Thailand. (Hi, Aimee and Jona! Many thanks again!)
And here's Abbey, modeling the chocolate. Hehe.

Then group pictures after and the saddest part, seeing Tere for the last time before she flies.

Huhu. That's me, hugging her. :( :( :(


And here's us, complete in attendance. <3


Hi Camille! :D

 MISSED YOUUU, BOYSSS! :* And thank you again, Boys for being always present at significant events like this! You guys never fail to make each of one of us, special. See you again on our upcoming get togethers! <3 <3 <3

Hugs and Kisses,
Dona

Ohayou, Japan! (Day 5)

Ohayou! I'm back again for my Japan blog. This time, it's gonna be about our 5th day in Japan. And as a recap, here are the links to my previous Japan blog posts: Ohayou, Japan! (Day 1) Ohayou, Japan! (Wizarding World of Harry Potter) Ohayou, Japan! (Day 2) Ohayou, Japan! (Day 3) Ohayou, Japan! (Day 4) Okay! Back to the story-telling. So, our only itinerary that day was this: 1.) Arashiyama Bamboo Forest 2.) Fushimi Inari Shrine 3.) Don Quijote (for the last time 🤣) Technically, we only visited 2 tourist spots during this day. How chill, right? Just the kind of travel that I want. Hehe. But as early as 7AM, I and my friends made sure to be all set and ready to go. We also wanted to avoid the crowded hours that's why we all decided to be up kinda early. Here's Shav and Con checking out the Kyoto map in our hotel. Also, in our hotel, there was a Freedom Board. And guess what? My work friends have decided to write our team

Mother's Day Special

After years and years of missing a Mother's Day Celebration with my mom, finally, my work schedule has somehow permitted me to celebrate it with her. Yay to that!  Oh, just please allow me to share this little rant of mine. Prior to celebrating it with her, I only had 3 precious hours of sleep because I worked on a graveyard shift the night before this. So, hello zombieland on a friggin' hot afternoon! But the heck I care, it's Mother's Day! So I shouldn't worry about anything, right? :)  So there, I battled the extreme weather, the Manila traffic and all, to have lunch with my fam bam who went all the way to Manila from Bulacan. Oh oh oh! I should give them an award for their effort too, I think. *wink* And now, let my photos do the talking. Had our lunch here at Hanamaruken Ramen , since Una prefers to have meal with a soup on the side or anything that has a soup in it. Told them that I'll be taking a snap shot and Una was in &qu

Elyu 2023

  Ola banana! My gosh. Has it been that long? No blog for almost 6 months? LOL. Sometimes, I just don't have time to write even I badly want to. Anyways, so here's a recent ganap which happened just last month - April 9-10, 2023 (Sunday-Monday). Together with my highschool friends, I and my husband went to La Union! Hooray! Nakakamiss rin namang gumala with the peoplets. My last outing with them was 2018 pa . Our outing fell on a Sunday -- which is actually Easter Sunday. Before our gala, one of us thought of attending a Mass on our way to La Union. Luckily for us that we found a Church along the way, that's kinda near our destination actually. I think, it was an hour or less than an hour before our destination. Our destination by the way is, San Juan (the surf town of La Union). Here's a photo of us inside the Church. Grabe. I can't help but mapa-throwback sa highschool days namin and the Masses that we used to attend altogether. Hehe. Inside the beautiful Basili
