Pizza, Pasta, Pichi-Pichi, Pochero, Pareng Jack!

Happiness is an understatement. This was indeed a grand long weekend I have looked forward since a few months ago. Although it did not turn out the way I've first planned it, but everything was just... perfect!


Saturday, Sept 22
Long weekend commenced with a Shawarma food trip at the bus stop where Lloyd met me after work. Their shawarma was more affordable and less "smelly" but more tasteful compared to the one we usually buy in Festival mall's food court. This, to date, was the 3rd shawarma i've ever had. EVER! :)

When we got home, Papa welcomed me with "O, cheerdance na!" So I dropped everything and turned on the tube to catch UP Pep Squad while Lloyd thought of what to order for our dinner. I literally dropped everything. Haha. Yey for UP! :) So anyway, we ordered Amber's Spaghetti bilao, 20pcs BBQ stick and the all-time favorite Amber's Pichi-pichi! Mama also cooked my favorite pochero to complete the meal. Oh, did I mention that today's a double celebration for Mama and Lloyd's birthday? Mama turned 58 on September 21 and Lloyd turned 27 on September 23. Fun, right? :)

pochero, BBQ, pichi-pichi, and spaghetti
(with biiig hoootdogs!) yum!

ate chin-chin saying grace

raawwwrrr!!!

the boys' bestfriend: PARENG JACK

and the night's highlight: Online inuman session with cousins in Bulacan. :)

On-the-spot fun was the skype inuman session with my cousins in Bulacan. They're really my closest cousins and the first kuyas whom Lloyd got along well with. The boys were on skype until 12 midnight, until they welcome Lloyd's turning 27. :p


Sunday, Sept 23
Goodmorning Lloydieee!!! weeee...haappeee birthdaaay! :) We just had but a simple lunch in the Carmona home, then went to church with his family. This was my first time to hear mass with his family. During the mass, I really prayed that he and Nanay and Tatay will always be healthy and strong. There were just a lot to be thankful during the mass - his life, our relationship, our relationship with our families, and our own family that we will build someday. God is the sweetest!

After mass, we headed straight to Shakey's Biñan for his birthday dinner with Nanay, Tatay, tito, tita, Lyeo (his brother) and Mich (Lyeo's gg). :)

the fam! 

Thanks sissy Mich for the cake!

The day was capped off by his friends' own version of "Lloyd's day!" (i.e., lloyd+JC+jessie+a few more friends+fun fun fun). Nevertheless, thank You Lord for this one special weekend. But lo, our weekend is just ain't over yet!

High School Musical. :)

I knew there's something special with today's date.

recall...
recall...
recall...

It made me reminisce back to my highschool days.
The first person who sat in front of me on my first day high.
The girl whom I shared the same passion with Music.
We joined the Glee Club together and even join singing contests together. :p
We would stay out until around 8pm, when our class ends at 4:40pm, because of rehearsals and church engagements.

We even tried to form a band, together with our girl classmates, and tried to play "So Young" here at our place..
"yeah...yeah....yeaaaahh yeah yeaaaah, we are soooo yoooung!"

We shared each others crushes, and everytime this certain guy passes, she would sing
"'cause you bring out the best in me, like no one else would do, that's why I'm by your side, that's why I love you..." :)

We would have lunch together, and will sing songs at the canteen.

Together with our classmates we would do the then-famous Coke jingle
"ito ang beat sabay-sabay, ito ang beat bawal sablay, pabilis ng pabilis..."

Or sometimes get our creative juices working and do our own version of songs...
"Jikaw Zamang Qan Tangakong Wahalin..." ('remix' kuno of Panunumpa)

High School was a sweet memory, and it was made sweeter by this wonderful lady.
I'm truly proud of what she has achieved now.
I know how strong she is, and I know she will always be strong, in anything, in everything.

Happy birthday, Joan! :)
