Who wakes up at 4 AM on a Sunday???

For the first time in a long time, I woke up before the sun was even out..AND on a Sunday too! haha Woke up around 4AM to get ready for the Lakad Masa. Assembly at the temple was at 5 AM but we left the house around 4:50. Luckily there were still people at the temple when we arrived. Whew! The Lakad Masa walk-a-thon started around 6. We were to walk from Quirino Grandstand to Rizal Memorial Stadium. THe distance between these 2 places is pretty far, but it didn't seem as exhausting as I expected it to be. We were too busy talking and having fun, that we barely realized the distance that we had to walk.There were 3 representatives from the YAD; namely, Candee, Katz and moi. hehe We reached Rizal memorial stadium at around 7, but we didn't go in to watch the competition or something that they were having. We went straight to McDonalds for breakfast then home afterwards to catch up on some ZZZ's.
Oh and we went to Glorietta at lunch, coz we were all feeling hungry but didn't want to cook. hehe We watched the Pacquiao, Morales fight at TGIF. Actually, we were looking fro a place that has a TV. We could hardly find seats in the non-smoking area, but there were only a few people smoking and we wanted to watch the fight (since it was already starting when we got there) so we decided to sit at the smoking area. Was able to catch the end of Round 2 and the whole end of the game. It was fast...thats all I have to say. Our orders weren't out yet and the fight was already over. Well, come to think of it, it would have been kinda hard to eat with all the shouting and clapping that was going around. That would have like caused choking or indigestion. bwahaha

exhausting weekend

After weeks of planning and preparation, the fund-raising bazaar is finally over. It was gruelling two days of selling beverages.hehe At first, I was apprehensive since I thought that beverages might not sell well at a bazaar. But in the middle of te first day, with 10 wholesale orders and a sales record that was showing progress, I finally stopped worrying. We didn't do too bad. Earned about 40K(without deducting the expenses). Although, it isn't the amount that we hoped it would be, we are still happy that we were able to reach this amount.

Met a lot of people there, too. Saw Morris, Ernest and Erika. Then, I also saw Imelda Marcos. She was so tall. and a lot of people were taking pictures and such. There was a lot of commotion when she came.

BTW, we would like to thank the BLIA YAD volunteers who came and helped man the booth. We really aprreciate all the help.

Yellow Cab and Starbucks

Met up with Erika and Honey Lyn this afternoon. It was a small get together since Honey is leaving in a couple of weeks. It was nice talking and reminiscing about high school and catching up on what our other batch mates are doing these days.

It's kinda awkward since the topics we talk about are getting more serious every time we meet. Before, it wasabout books we read, restaurants we eat at, places we go to..now, what we talk about is more or less centered on life and what we plan to do with it. It makes us feel like we're getting old even though we are just about to enter the "real" world. hehe I wonder what our meetings will be likewhen we get even older.

first driving lesson

Had my very first driving lesson today. I was so nervous, more on the scared side...haha I was wishing and praying that I wouldn't bump or collide with anything while I was driving. I was driving pretty slow...ok fine, too slow. The cars behind me were honking their horns, which kinda escalated the nervous barometer.

The engine shut off a couple of times coz I kept on forgetting not to release the clutch so much when I'm just starting to move. Have to keep that in mind for my next lesson...and after the lessons are over. hehe

exhausting Nov 1

Fell right to sleep when I laid down on my bed last night...that was how exhausted I was.haha

My day started when I woke up at around 7 to fix breakfast and stuff. Then we went to Quezon City to do the offering and prayers for my Grandpa(Ang-Kong). Considering the time we left the house, we were already late compared to the other people. But we got lucky in Quezon City since we were still able to park inside the temple grounds, coz there was a car that was about to leave when we arrived. As we were approaching the temple, we noticed that there were cars already parked as far as a block away from the temple. When we got to the secodn floor of the temple where ang kong was buried, my eyes kept on tearing because of all the smoke from the candles and incense that permeated the air. Candee even found it hard to breathe. Anyway, we got there put the food that we were going to offer on the table, then lit incense and prayed to Grandpa. Honestly, I don't know what to say sometimes to Ang Kong. We hardly talked while he was still alive, although I remember he liked to take us(his grandkids) out to walk when we were younger. It's funny actually. I still remember the day he died...the night before he died I dreamt about visiting him and then suddenly his heart rate begins to drop, the next day the exact scenario happened. I wasn't there to witness it,but thats what my dad told me. Did he give me that dream because he wanted to say goodbye? That wasn't the only time I dreamt about him actually...There was another one after the funeral, where he was on our room and he was asking me to get the mattress off the bed. Mom says he probably wants us to "burn" his bed to give to him. But it was already too late since we had already burnt his belongings during the funeral.

At around 1140, we went over to Hua Zhong Xi to pray for GuaKong. The air in the temple was even hazier compared to the one in QC. I could barely stay inside for 10 minutes without wanting to close my eyes. After praying to grandpa we went to the temple on the other side to pray for Tua-ku and then to the one for the gods.

Oh yeah, before I forget, I met an auntie that belongs to FGS. She began asking me what activities the youth were having. Then she went on to ask why we don't invite her daughter to our activities. The reply I got from her daughter hurt… She told her mom, "Bakit naman ako sasama dun? Di naman ako member." I find this answer surprising. It seems that she doesn't even want to have anything to do with the organizationot (an organization she might not really know by the way) that a lot of people are passionate about( I don’t necessarily mean the members in this country alone.) She can at least join a few activities before making a decision whether she wants to join or not then. Hay…forget about it. I can’t force her or anything.

After the offering we went to Ama's house for lunch.After eating lunch, Candee and I played Cluedo with Koko. We played like 4 or 5 games then took a break watching TV. After that we played Deal or No Deal on the computer. It was so much fun. Everybody, even Ama, played the game. The suspense of knowing what the suitcase we chose had made us all jumpy and apprehensive. No one got the $1 million prize, highest was $150,000. hehe
We also stayed for dinner. A-pe went out to buy pizza from Yellow Cab. Ama ate leftover palabok from lunch coz she can’t chew the pizza.
