Merry Christmas Beybeh

My most awaited vacation is here at last. Thank God I wasn't tempted to waste away all my leave credits last month or I'll be left alone for the holidays. My twin and I reserved tickets a week before our trip we thought it'll be such a hassle to get one on the day itself especially during this time of the year where everybody's going out of town for the holidays. I hate falling in line but we had no choice they don't have online reservations yet it's a long queue at the terminal. 

We waited roughly thirty minutes for the 6 PM bus to arrive. We arrived past midnight yesterday the bus stopped in front of our vacation house since it's along Marcos Highway it's still kinda dark the moonlight lighted our path. Sissy rang the doorbell our brother opened the gate it's good he's still awake. We're so tired but it's good to be home, I miss home, my family and real food of course. My parents are quite surprised and worried at the same time they haven't seen me in months they noticed that I've lost a lot of weight they thought I got sick or something but I told them that I'm okay I'm just on a diet because that's the truth. I'm not going to forget about my diet while on vacation but I promise to myself that I will eat properly I don't want to be so hard on myself. 


I need quiet time and I definitely will make the most out of this vacation. We slept early so we missed Noche Buena we opened our Christmas presents in the morning. We loved mom and dad's gifts, a cute rabbit coin banks, yay! We gave them a digital photo frame in return and they liked it a lot. I got my niece two pairs of baby leg warmers she's wearing it right now it fits perfectly. 


That's about it for now. Have a Merry Christmas to y'all. Cheers!!!

Baguio Christmas 07

I just got back from Christmas vacation in Baguio and it was all worth it. I had plenty of sleep of course. There's plenty of food was I forgot about my diet for a while. I'm glad our parents liked the digital camera we bought them for Christmas in fact they had their pictures taken right away. I bought ukay ukay stuff as usual from a Wagwagan (ukay ukay store) fronting Prime Hotel and another location beside Silvertone Inn along Session Road where I got a leather laptop bag. My sister and treat ourselves with "banana split" at this place called "Session Delights" where else but in Session Road, our favorite place to have dessert. We love their yummy banana split it's worth coming back to every year. 

It was really cold during the night we can't help but sleep early. We have lots of music, and movies on our laptop so we had movie marathon from dusk till dawn. We're big fans of Ghost Whisperer so we watched everything. We're almost done with season 3 unfortunately, episodes 11 and 12 are not yet available for download. 

We heard mass at the St. Joseph the Parish Christmas day then we head over to Mine's View to buy some souvenirs. Last stop is at Maxi Photo Digital services to have our pictures printed. While waiting for our prints mom treat us with "halo halo" so we can cool down at bit. I just stayed home the following day and watch the fogs go down in our veranda, it's a lazy Wednesday afternoon. We left Baguio in the morning and arrived in Manila after lunch time. Good thing my shift's at 1am so I was able to rest. I brought distributed pasalubong to my team mates. Vacation's over but it's  pay day, so good!

Up and Away

I'll be off from work tomorrow I'll be spending Christmas out of town to be with my family. It's been a while since I went on vacation that's why I'm kinda excited about I'm packing my stuff right now so I'm ready for tomorrow. We'll be leaving before lunch time I don't wanna forget anything. I'll bring my laptop with me so I'll be without internet for a few days I'm pretty sure my inbox will be full when I come back. I don't think i'll be bored since I have lots of movies saved on my laptop. I have to enjoy this vacation it's now or never ever again for sure it will take long to have one like this again. We're expecting heavy traffic tomorrow we better leave as early as possible. I can't wait.

Give It to Me

I woke up prematurely, now my head is aching terribly. I was in the middle of sleep when Jack, our resident dog bit me in the hand I think that was around 4 in the morning. I realized that I'm starving so I checked out the fridge and decided to cook my breakfast. I ate an easy to cook Carbonara and 2 slices of toast.

I had my haircut about 2 days ago at the newly-opened Reyes Haircutters in Shaw. I like it better than my own haircut. I cut my bangs recently but it was a disaster, it made me looked like I'm wearing a wig I swear I'm not doing that to my hair again. The stylist fixed my bangs he cut it just a little shorter but i'm happy it turned out good. 

Christmas is coming close but we haven't even hang our Christmas lantern yet like we used to since we will not be spending our holiday here anyway. To be honest I'm a little disappointed because my Christmas leave got disapproved for some reason even if I filed it early, I think about 3 months ago. I swear I will be absent on that day because I still have leave credits that I haven't even used since I got regularized. I heard our mom is planning a trip to Sagada and I haven't been there. I heard Sagada is 9 hours away from Baguio so if we really want to go there I need a couple of weeks of vacation. 

I really hope I can just travel worry free.

Baguio Forever

My twin and I spent our birthday in Baguio I just got back Monday afternoon. I had an exhausting and uncomfortable trip. It's undeniably summer. The bus we're in overheated. I miss Baguio already so I'll just think happy thoughts and recall my stay at our lovely humble abode.

I enjoyed my stay in our vacation home. I miss the view of the mountains as well as the cold afternoon breeze. It rains in the afternoon pretty much everyday. It's not too foggy unlike in December until January. We went ukay ukay shopping but this is not the season for nice finds I just bought a few.  I got myself two pairs of cool shoes for Php250 a pair which originally costs Php400-450 but I haggled and promise to the lady that I will take both if I get a good price. I also found myself a huge messenger bag and ethnic slippers. We dropped by in SM and had lunch at Solibao it was dad's treat for his birthday. The following day we had breakfast together with mom at a local restaurant called Rainbow Cafe. I ordered Banana Split since I'm craving for dessert. 

I still can't get enough of Baguio I don't want to think about going back to work. My 5AM shift started this week I think I like it despite of the queue because the call floor is not as crowded unlike graveyard. My body clock is still adjusting but I'll get the hang of this.
