Something for the heat!

Extra-Ordinary Door Lock

Our Office Comfort Room's door lock is jammed.  

We found another way on how to lock the door.

Aside from putting a chair in front of the door,

a yellow post-it says it all.

Kamusta ang mga Bakasyonista?

From L to R:  Uncle Peping, Tita Rose, Nanay Mercy, Tatay Tino, Mama, Auntie Precy, Uncle Milo,

Angels and Demons (Rewind)

Finished the film for the nth time.  The heavy traffic @ Talaba Area sucks less, coz I've got my

handy-dandy Ipod-Touch ready to save the day.

***My mama is a text bomb today.  She's been sending me updates about their

Project: Bonding @ Island Cove because I ask her to do so.***

Packing.

Sa wakas!  Natapos din mag impake ng mga dadalhin ni Lola sa kanilang "outing" mag-iina.

Yey!!!  Enjoy the pool and the park, parents. :)

Happy Easter

Thank God for another Easter Sunday.

It will be another fun-filled Easter Celebration with the Villamer Family.

Project: Bonding Reveal Day

Today is the day that we will reveal the Project: Bonding to the parents.  And it was a huge success.  The Parents did not argue.  They were touched.  And that confirms that it is indeed a successful plan.  They just raised few questions but we were able to answer it.

Now...let's just wait until that day comes and we'll see if there stay at Island Cove will be a blast.

Enjoy the overnight accommodation and Spa Treatment that awaits you.

Original Digman Halo-Halo Special

Original Digman Halo-Halo

Digman-Digman, ika'y aming pupuntahan,

Upang ang lasa mo'y aming matikman.

Sa haba ng tinahak naming landas,

Sa paghahanap sa iyo'y ilang ulit lumampas.

Ng ikaw ay matanto, doon sa may kanto,

Ang pagpaparadahan nama'y walang pwesto.

Kaya ang kalsada'y aming diniretso,

Nakahanap ng parkingan sa may Munisipyo.

Kaya muli naming binaybay ang daan,

Patungo sa Halo-Halo Special ng Digman.

Digman-Digman, kami'y iyong binusog,

Kaya ang tiyan nami'y kay lulusog.

Halo-Halo Special

It was scorching hot...and a cold Halo-Halo Treat from Chowking definitely lessen the heat.

Tupig for All

Meryenda Madness!!!  Tupig freshly made by my Aunt.

A new place just for today

Since SM Molino was closed because of Holy Week Schedule, we went down to Emilu's RFC Branch to see if it's open.  And it is!!!  So we grab one of the push carts and started searching for what's in my Mama's list to buy.  After we are done , we went to McDonald's Molino to grab some food.  It was supposed to be a Chowking Food Trip but the place was jam-packed and there is no way we can be able to squeeze through the whole chaos it's in.

My music from A to Z

Thanks for the world wide web for the pictures of the bands in this collection.

Thank you for the good music!!!

To the heavens, after life.

I remember, I was just in 2nd Year High school when my father left us for a better place.  I was just starting to see the complexities of life when he died because of diabetes.  I was already a young lady who have lost not just a father but also an inspiration, a hero and a best friend.  But then, who am I to complain about how young I was when Papa died when I saw my younger brother back then - fatherless.  He was barely 10years old (or maybe younger) at that time.  I can still remember how my brother took the news that our father is already gone.  Mama was already crying hard, as in hysterically on her best friend's shoulder.  All she can do is weep.  And there just right beside her is my younger brother watching "Mojacko" on the television and not a single tear lingers in his eyes.  With his tender age, he still don't know the damage losing a father can be.  On the interment, it was only then when I saw my baby brother poured his hearts out.  That's the only time he felt that we had lost our dear father.  

We remember our father most of the time, when it's his birthday, Christmas, New Year, their anniversary and most specially, on father's day.  We even thought about what if he is still with us.  Most of the time, we thought we could have spend that one great day in our life with him.  But what makes me cry whenever I remember my father, is that does he knows that I love him.  I wish I could have told him that before he went to the province...before he had gone to the heavens.

***

We have lost another good man in this world.  Condolence to the people whom my Uncle Digo left - to my Aunt Letty, cousins Randy, Maricon, Roleth, Jomar and Yani.

Telebabad Cut Short

I was having dinner when Mommy called.  She just saw the pictures I posted from the surprise birthday celebration of Uncle Peping, the youngest brother of my mother.  I was talking to her about how the plan started, and how my Uncle even requested for a birthday party not having any slight ideas that he will be having one - a grand surprise party.  And so me and my mommy chatted for almost an hour, when she cut me and said..."We'll talk later, customers are starting to call..."  And so we bid goodbye in a hurry.  And when she calls back again, the story  telling will resume.

Just for Me

Since ayoko ng buto-buto...nag prepare si Mama and Auntie Nelly ng hiwalay na ulam for me.  Nilaga na puro laman.  Hehehe.

I love!!!

When Nasnips conquered Island Cove

***My supposed to be post last night, got so caught-up with the "kwentuhan portion" with Lola, Mama, siblings and cousins about how our Lola Meling managed to raise her 6 kids then.  Upon hearing these stories, the more I thought about how The Project: Bonding must push through.***

Because of Project: Bonding, team nasnips we're able to have some bonding time also.

Too bad, the 2nd agenda of that day didn't pushed thru...the "Taste the Digman's Halo-Halo Special."

But at least we still have something to look forward to next-next week.

Date with The Script: The Big Dome Roared!!!

The concert was worth every single penny that costs the ticket!!!

Seeing Danny O'Donoghue and Mark Sheehan + Glenn Power LIVE and serenading the whole Araneta Crowd is definitely a night to remember.  Every song they sang and performed, the crowed goes "gaga" over it.  Screaming on the top of their lungs and raised the roof to heavens.  

I love it most when Danny grab his acoustic guitar and started playing "I'm Yours"...I was like Agnes of "Despicable ME" when she saw the Unicorn.  I was so happy that I've got to see them.  Danny even said, "Thank you so  much for this great-great reception.  To hear you guys singing "I'm not moving" makes the hair at the back of my neck stand up." right after they played "The man who can't be moved".  After their last song and took off the stage, the crowd asked for more.  As the whole Araneta cheered and screamed "We want more! We want more!"  the band went back to stage and had an encore.  They played "For the First Time" and the Coliseum roared like thunder.  Just after the last note on the song...the crowd screamed louder..."Breakeven! Breakeven!".  And so the first chord on the song Breakeven was played.  Once again, we screamed LOUDER.  And this time, when the band had their final bow marking the end of their tour for real...we clapped and yelled with contentment.

The people who had watched the concert wear their biggest smile as we walked out the Big Dome.  Another concert to remember. Checked!!!

The night we've been waiting for!!!

*** This was supposed to be my post last April 15, 2011.  I got so busy and forget all about blogging what had happened.***

A very surprised Uncle Peping came in the resort "Jardin de Dasma" knowing nothing but a dinner with his wife and kids.  This party has been in the making for almost 4 months since December of 2010.  And I must say, it was worth the preparation.  It was a successful Party Planning by the whole Villamer Family.  And the effort made by the nasnips is commendable.

From the table setting, the food to share, the birthday banner and the invited guests....everything was a 100% success.  Well, except for the floating candles to be lit on the pool...it was a failure.  But still, we got to enjoy the pool after the party.  

Our folks went back home @ Molino and had an extended drinking session.  The oldies had some "catching-up" session back @ the Hacienda Villamer.  While us kids had a Pool Party.  It was a blasts.  As always, a night with the nasnips...may it be a drinking session or just a swimming activity is always a night to remember.  But this time, it was an extra memorable one.  We have made another day to keep in our memory treasure boxes.  We've met new people and gained new drinking buddies.  I even got to see some things that I intended not to see.  But the uncontrollable circumstances made it happen...and the damage has been done.  ROFL!!!

Happy Birthday. Uncle Peping!

McDo Solo

Got to dine (solo) @ McDonalds - Binondo after office.

Nasnips' Souvenir for Icon

Nasnips' Souvenir for Ate Tal

The best souvenir gift that the Philippine nasnips can ever give to our fellow Australian nasnips...are the memories captured in these pictures.

Need I say more?

Still Sealed

Magazines from Daddy and Mama in North Carolina

These magazines may be last year's issues...but still tightly sealed and un-opened.

Thanks Mommy and Daddy for sending me new set magazines.  I deeply appreciate it.

And then I screamed more!!!

Duncan - instagramed!

Duncan while singing (apparently, to me, in this shot)

Me and Duncan Ramos

I love him when he was still Gary V's front-act during his concerts.  Duncan was just 11 years old back then (and so was I, i guess).  

I loved him more when he became South Border's vocalist (a prime band back then).  

I loved him most...now!!!  I love him most when I got to see him up-close and personal.hug him (felt his love-handles, lol!)  Seeing him grove and belt the highest notes melts me.  

This Saturday is worth-it even if the "nasnips"

didn't got the chance to bond.

The night I screamed out loud

Bruno Mars' DooWops and Hooligans Concert Tour

I screamed like a little girl!!!  

Hell Yeah! I really like the quality of voice.

It was just like I am listening to his records, only better!

All set for you Bruno

I'll see you tomorrow, Bruno Mars.  Even if I am a bit sick, I'll ride the Light Rail Transit then the Metro Rail Transit on rush hour just to go there and see you.  

I'd jump in front of the train for you...

You know I'd do anything for you!!!

Happy Birthday Nanay Mercy!

Saturday.

Even if I was at the office till almost 8:00pm...I still got the chance to spend the rest of the day...in this case the rest of the night, with my beloved cousins whom I called my "nasnips".

The first time I hated my Friday!!!

Jeumir's Perspective

***  I did not made the 3D Model...but I was part of the team that made one's life an easier one.*** 

This was supposed to be my Friday Blog but happened to got home @ around 12:30 am of Saturday already.  And so I was so tired to even plug the cord of the PC, what more to open it and begin typing.  My energies were all drained up to the point that upon giving the "konduktor" my fee for the ride home, I immediately went into sleep-limbo.  To think it was a Friday night and I was supposed to be spending the rest of the night with my nasnips @ LAX-Mall of Asia.  And the plan didn't pushed through because of this!!!  Good thing it's finals week.  This other job will resume by June.  I just hope my other boss will not be taking Summer.
