Sunday's Best

Linggo ng Umaga. 8:15 to be exact, nasa Mandaluyong na ako agad. Ang aga nuh? Here is what I did on that day:

Pagdating ko sa unit nila Austin, pahinga lang konti and then we went to the nearby palengke to buy breakfast and something that he will cook for Lunch. Ang main agenda kasi namin that day is to watch the basketball game ng mga ka-team namin and planned to have lunch at Austin's place. We went to the basketball court at around 11am. Austin left the court to continue to cook the Sinigang na Bangus. I waited for the game to end and for Girlie to arrive. Unfortunately, they lost the game. When Girlie arrived, we just took a rest for a while and headed to Austin's place.

What a heartful lunch. Everyone was there -- the basketball players which include: Joel, Mickey, Kuya Benjie, Ralph and Kuya Dudung plus Kuya Dudung's wife and another companion. And then Earl catched up. Panalo yung Sinigang na Bangus ni Austin. Galit - galit muna habang kumakain habang nanonood ng tv. Gutom ang lahat eh. ☺

Pagkatapos kumain, nagkayayaang uminom. So we had Tanduay Ice while watching My Neighbor's Wife. I had 4 bottles, I think. Wala namang lasingan or basagan. Tamang chill lang.

Then we decided to go home by 6pm. Dropped by at the pool area real quick and headed home.

Christmas Party of Pakwans

We celebrated our post-Christmas Party at Jhen's place. Everyone is there, except Reciel. Yep, everyone icluding Gerby. How? That's all because of the power of Skype. And yes, Rosalie and her husband is there as well and si Nena. Mawawala ba naman siya? Siya lang naman ang official photographer namin. :D

First batch who arrived at Jhen's place are: Me, Josette, Kisel, Charlene and Jo. Next batch are: Shaira, Rosalie, her husband and Nena. Syempre nauna na kaming kumain. Gutom na e. Nagtira na lang kami ng food para sa kanila. HAHA!

When everyone is set, Skype na with Gerby. Nagkaroon pa ng difficulties kasi nakikita namin si Gerby pero kami di niya nakikita. Although naayos rin naman siya at inabot kami ng 2am.

Namiss ko ng bongga si Koy. Although nakita at nakausap nga namin siya pero iba pa rin kung kasama sana namin siya. Gusto ko sanang umiyak pero ipapakita ko pa bang umiiyak ako imbis na natutuwa ako na nakikita at nakakausap ko siya? Pero miss na miss na talaga kita Koy. Sobraaaa.

Anyway, tulog time na. At bilang sampu kami at medyo maliit lang yung kwarto ni Jhen, problema kumpano kami magkakasya. Well, nagawan naman ng paraan. Iba kami eh. HAHA :D

The following day, bongga ang breakfast. Sunny side up, Meat loaf, Hotdog, at itlog na pula. BONGGA! Basta masarap. Tapos, nood ng Friends with Benefits then prepare to go home na. Nakaalis kami kila Jhen ng mga 5pm na siguro.

All in all, masaya to be with them. Nakakamiss. Lalo pa ngayon na yung isa sa amin e manganganak na. At syempre, we will be the gorgeous Ninangs. Can't wait to see our beloved Mik-Mik Goteng-guan Balala.

'Til next time my dearest Pakwana. Alam niyo naman kung gaano ko kayo kamahal :P

xoxo, Nikki

Bonding with my cousins gets better and better :D

My last bonding moment with my cousins was this New Year. I think every friend that I have knows that I haven't celebrated New Year in San Mateo ever in my life. I always celebrate it in Parañaque, where Gunio, Acevedo and Pagharion resides.

My celebration of New Year was the usual -- Videoke, Lotsa' Food, Fireworks.. at siyempre mawawala naman ba ang alak sa angkan namin? Siyempre hindi. Lahat ng kamag-anak namin, dumaan, dumadaan at dadaan sa Masteral sa pag-inom ng alak. At hindi na rin ako magtataka kung kamag-anak kita at matuto ka rin manigarilyo dahil karamihan sa kamag-anak ko, e nagyoyosi.

The highlight of my New Year was when we went to my Ninang's house, not far from the Pagharion residence where we usually start our countdown. Dun kasi sa tapat ng bahay ng Ninang ko, may nagpapaagaw ng pera. Well, sino ba naman tatanggi e pera yun. Dati, kokonti lang kami nakapila dun. Ngayon, dumami na!! Kaya konti lang nakulimbat naming pera. HAHA. Dati, yung nakukuha namin dun, yun pa yung ginagamit namin para makapunta kami sa EK. Pero bilang kokonti lang ang nakuha, waley ang EK.

And then we went back to Pagharion's place para ituloy ang inuman at para maglaro ng Poker at Pinoy Henyo at para magvideoke. Ang saya niya lang kasi iba talaga ang bonding namin magpipinsan. Dati hindi kami ganito, pero habang tumatagal siguro at nagmamature na kami, ayun na, close na kami. May kanya-kanya nang tawagan. At chaka kami kami na lang rin magkakasama in the future, magkaka-artehan pa ba? Okay rin siguro na we are of the same age brackets kaya nagkakasundo-sundo rin kami. Ang cool talaga ng samahan namin. SOLID.

Minsan nga, naiisip ko, okay na kahit sila na lang. Pero dahil mabait si Bro, ibinigay pa nila KAYO sa akin. Dagdag kayo sa mga taong ittreasure at mamahalin ko :))

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE ☺
