I got to spend some time with my college friends last Saturday. Even if I did not sleep any wink at all, I did not cancel on them and still pushed through with Lola's birthday celebration. It was nice to be with them for a change. As much as I love my work friends, it gets a little tiring to be with them all the time. In addition to that, I realized I should spend some time with my other friends.

It was fun to be with them. Of course I got drunk and bumped my head (but I'm fine). I told my friends I did it so that there will be a funny story we can talk about afterwards. Lol!!

Ok. Here are some of the pictures with my college friend.. love them to pieces..

my first plant for 2012!

Yey! My friend Rona just gave me a plant! As I have mentioned previously, one of my resolutions for 2012 is to take care of a plant/plants. I have been bugging her about where to buy a pot of plant, that she gave me one instead (courtesy of Mrs. Jabonitalla of course). I think she gave me one so that I could just stop bugging her. :) So now, I think I'm gonna bug Kitz so that she'll give me one as well. Operation Bug Kitz will be in full motion tonight! LOL!

Talipanan Beach, Puerto Galera

This Puerto Galera post is long overdue. :)

When people say Puerto Galera, we immediately think of the famous White Beach. It is like,IMO, the fake Boracay of the Philippines. I have been there twice already and eversince I have experienced Boracay and the other beaches of our country, I have never looked back. So when the Quezon plan for our Thanksgiving off was shattered in to pieces, I did not think of Puerto Galera as the alternate destination. But since I was already slightly pissed off, I just said yes when my only companion for the trip said we should try out Talipanan Beach of Puerto Galera. I'm glad I said yes and did not decide to stay at home for four effing days..

My friend manage to make a reservation to Lucas Miramare. It was an Italian restaurant in the island first but they decided to have a small lodge as well.

Since Talipanan Beach is nothing like White Beach at all (no loud music, no teens getting drunk and being rowdy and not too many tourist) all Sam and I did was swim, eat, take pictures and appreciate the scenery.



someone told us that this was Ayala's beach house *envy*


And did I already tell you all we did was eat Italian food which is like my favorite food besides Korean food and Filipino food..




breakfast with a view ;)

Tanduay Ice moment again with a view

I cannot remember the type of pizza

Sam with the huge serving of Pasta Marinara

I remember being so full (that I felt like I was dying) every after meal. I wanted to smoke so bad every time we finish a meal, but since I quit smoking already, I did not bring any. It was a good thing though..

It was a great experience. The beach, food and the location was awesome.

no more fatty me..

So, I have been doing Zumba in the privacy of my room since Tuesday morning. I decided to do it since I have gain so much weight after chowing on delicious food last Christmas and New Year.  Since I don't have the money to enroll in a gym, I thought why not go on YouTube and seach for Zumba. Whalllla! There are a lot of Zumba videos that you can choose from. Of course I chose the hip-hop ones that will burn my fats more.

It has been four days and I feel like I have lost weight already. I will definitely continue doing Zumba on my own until I loose all this fat! I don't want to be a fatty in March, on my birthday, in Singapore! Hell no! hahaha..

I will buy me a weighing scale this weekend so that I will know my progress, and of course this blog will be my weight loss diary. Lol!!!

PS: If I continue to do this, I will be successful in attaining one of my resolutions for 2012! Aish! :)

2012 Resolutions

I am a terrible blogger. I have not updated this blog since November 2011. I have a couple of trips that I have been meaning to blog, but was too lazy to even start. This year is going to be different. This year will be my year to improve myself for my own good. No more doing things for others and no more lazy ass. LOL.

So here goes my resolutions for 2012.

• Take care of a plant/plants. I don't know why but since 2012 started, I have been thinking that it will be a good thing for me to take care of some plants. Work friends Rona and Kitz would give me two flower pots next week. The plan is to see if by the end of 2012, the plant are still alive. This would also improve my TLC skill.
• Blog atleast three times a week. :)
• Exercise more. I will not be fat ass Amie!!!
• Learn something new. I haven't decided what it would be yet, but will definitely do it this year.
• Become a more giving person. 'nuff said

I hope to cross out all of them by the end of this year. Aja!!
