Today I surrender the only thing that ‘s left tying me to that place. As walked out of that small room, I felt a little chill.. This is it! It’s time to go. Then I suddenly remember how it used to be the greatest of them all, how new and shining the days were… but maybe all things would really have to come to an end. So I’m just grateful… not all the days were rewarding but it had undeniably walked me through some years… I am just glad that I became a part of it. This time, no holding grudges.

And as they say “when one door closes, there opens another.”  And maybe opened wider…

So I’ve been a very bad, lazy blogger. I won’t deny that. Since I don’t think I can still give full details of what had happened for the past months, let me just give you a recap… I can say that this is such a remarkable year to some of my friends and I’m just happy that I was there to celebrate with them…

There were weddings…

My boyfriend’s best friend is a bachelor no more.  It was my first time to witness a wedding at Philippine Consulate, there were 5 pairs getting married all together. Fun and crazy!

Stephen and his Best friend Bro

And the latest was the move of two of my best friends from Bahrain to Dubai.  It was the biggest surprise of the year. I cannot find the words to explain how happy I am just to have both of them here. Then the thought of having a second home to stay at, Starbucks session anytime, girl bonding over dinner, movie, hubbly bubbly or even just a lazy weekend… I’m excited! Exuberantly happy!!!  Welcome to Dubai Gem and Dei!

My TFC Craze.

In my opinion, isang patunay na ikaw ay ganap ng OFW kapag fan ka na ng TFC (The Filipino Channel).

Many people conclude that it gives us a taste of our beloved country and I could not agree more. I am a subscriber for a year now and just because I’m going gaga over PBB’s Big Night yesterday, I want to remember the TV shows na kina-aadikan ko sa TFC while I’m here in the Middle East.

WOWOWEE. Oh yes! One of the shows na hindi ko pinapansin noon sa Pilipinas. Now, I like it when I’m off on a week day, I would wake up at 11am, would turn on the telly and there maya maya I’m laughing over Poky’s joke or crying over people’s story in Willie of Fortune. At first I do not understand the fun in watching this till I started appreciating the amazing prizes they were giving away. I know some people would think it’s baduy to watch Wowowee, yeah I’m one of them — only not anymore. I think this is a show that gives hope to a lot of people lalo na to those who are less fortunate. Of course, I’m not saying that people should solely rely in game shows but it is fun and with luck, it really could change people’s lives. I would even want to play for Cash MoTo or Hep Hep Hoorah in the future! I think it’s really fun. Hahaha! Crazy!

ASAP XV. Ah-huh… Sunday Variety Show. Isa lang ang masasabi ko. Walang laro ng PS3 si Stephen pag Sunday coz’ it’s my tv night. Yes. Gabi po ang palabas ng noon time shows dito. Lurve the production numbers and Supah Dance. Astig most of ABS-CBN’s talent and of course si Sarah G, Everytime I watch this, I feel that it’s Sunday afternoon at home with Mom and Ayen, all lying on the couch tapos after ASAP aantukin na, magmemeryenda and pag gising mo, The Buzz na. haha! Brings me back to weekend life in Manila.

THE BUZZ and SNN. Speaking of, as much as you want to deny na hindi ka chismosa, you would still find your self hooked to these shows. It’s entertaining and very Pinoy. Even if you get the same answer to “What’s the score between the two of you? – Friends lang po kami.” I still love Boy, I like Kris and I love Ruffa’s gown and make up. 🙂

PBB (Pinoy Big Brother) The recent Double Up Edition is the craziest! If I get home late, hinto ang pagluluto pag PBB na and if Pen is in the middle of his PS3 game, hinto din kung hindi gulo na ito! Hahaha! I would always ensure that I had freshened up before 10:45 at night kasi pag 10:50, PBB na! Yey! Now I am a bit sad ‘coz it already ended yesterday. I think buong Pilipinas kagulo din kagabi. Haha! Buti nlng simultaneous ang airing last night kaya we were at pace with Pinas! Even Facebook and Twitter were flooded with PBB Updates. My bet was Paul Jake but he came 2nd best. Pwede na din ‘coz Melai is also a real big winner – very comical and funny. People love her. PJ Happy, Isay Happy, Everybody Happy! Kudos to their team and to their beautiful hostesses Toni, Mariel and Bianca and syempre si Big Brother!

So there… the show that entertains me the Filipino way. Some people say that Filipino Channels are such a waste of time, that it’s a joke and full of drama at the same time. Yeah maybe they’re right, but maybe those are also the same exact reason why a lot of Filipinos abroad are subscribers; because even if we have lived away from our country for number of years, being melodramatic and being happy people are two things that you cannot take away from every Filipino.

Okay… Enough. I sound like a fan. On the contrary I don’t really like all the teleserye except if it’s John Lloyd-Bea or a show that involves my ultimate crush Anne Curtis. Ok fine. Sige na nga. Fan na!

Ah. Basta. Ako. Kapamilya.

The last week of ‘09 was a whirlwind.

It had been so busy, exhausting and fun.

Two of my best friends came for a visit and sad to say, instead of accommodating them; they were the one who accommodated us. Power and water supply had been interrupted for five days due to some neighbor issues. Anyway, to make the story short, I felt like I haven’t really spent quality time with them since we only see each other at night at their hotel apartment when we are all about to sleep. Sorry Gem and Dei… =( I was also working afternoon shift so it’s really hard to plan late at night, lalo na dito sa Dubai na wala namang masyadong masayang mapupuntahan sa gabi. I may not have told you this pero babawi kame next time. Pramis. But all in all, I am glad to see you guys, yung makita ko lang kayo, masaya na ko. I know you are too. 🙂

Xmas Day

Though most of the last days were really tiring, there had been some highlights aside from Gem and Dei being here…

Our Xmas Party at Sharjah and the video we made really rocked! (See my last post.)

Kapamilya Christmas Party

This New Year, we’ve watched fantabulous fireworks near Burj Al Arab (the only 7-star hotel) – only we’ve positioned at the wrong side pero pwede na din.

Fire Works at Burj Al Arab

And Some More!

Love u Guys!

And lastly what completed my holiday was Hub’s Christmas gift.

Bare Minerals. Mabel had been endorsing this product since August (I think)?  And at last, I have it! I know you are very happy for me and as you already know, you were right, it was amazing and at the first day that I’ve fully used it, Pen said: “Wow, You look beautiful!” Yey! I love to hear that! I owe you this one Mae and I promise, since I’m turning 25 this year, I’m gonna experiment on more.

Thanks Hub!

Yey!!!

I heart it!

That’s it for now, HAPPY 2010 Everyone!
