Weight Gain?

Almost everyone said I gained weight. Actually, everyone from JB. My mom still doesn't think so, and Bong, from CL (whom I saw a couple of weeks ago) exclaimed I was so thin! According to our unreliable (read: defective) weighing scale, I gained five pounds this year. Oh well. Whatever they're saying, it was great seeing everybody again.

Saw more people this time, and chatted with a lot of them. NAP & ROR said they're getting transferred, and Julia's getting thinner! Papits had wonderful news, and I'm immensely proud of him.

Celebrated Ryan's birthday at Lumil and saw Lhon, Jhe, Cindy, and a problematic Ivan there. Terry and Elaine came as well. And we were such a noisy bunch hanging out in the parasol while waiting in vain for the ever-choosy Papits. After Lumil, we went back to the store and I was finally able to ride the shuttle, even for just a photo-op. Back when I did closing shifts, either I had the adventure, or I rode with M'Utchie, so I never really had the chance to experience the shuttle.

It was great catching up with all of them, and it was such a stress-reliever being able to laugh and talk and goof around just like old times. Definitely, definitely worth the hassle of going to Sta. Rosa.

So, going back, what do you think, did I gain weight?

Going Farther

Yep, I am proud to announce that this girl's got her passport. While the destination may still be indefinite, one can't argue that this is not one very concrete step towards that international journey, or journeys, mind you.

I can still remember a few months ago when I told Ry that I can save up for HK within the year. Well, I never thought that the passport would come earlier than the funds, but hey, it's still just barely the second quarter of 2008. With this, I would like to thank the good people who made securing my passport possible.

I'm resolved to go places with this passport. We'll have so much bonding time together, I believe. And I'm just bound to be permitted to pass safely and freely, and, in the case of need, be given lawful aid and protection. Sweet!
