Just because my sister got a work already for her ojt, our family have decided to celebrate her 19th birthday earlier. I’m one proud ate. But i can’t believe that it has been a year since her debut! Time flies so fast. Read more here

This was a first look of world-renowned photographer Tom Epperson’s Smoke at Greenbelt. If you know me, I love looking at artworks and masterpieces because i am passionate (wow haha) about painting and photography.

It was so awesomesauce because there was a mob dance just outside the mall! It was like a real-life high school musical! Cool beans!

And it was my sister’s dream (because she’s forever matakaw and she never gets full nor fat) to have an eat-all-you-can Japanese birthday dinner!


We hungrily attacked the buffet table and happily grilled them while patiently giddily waiting. We wolfed down the tempura, sushis and slabs of raw salmons while our meat was being cooked. Then we feast upon the gastronomic entrée! Chicken, pork, bacon, beef and shrimp. It was heaven on earth!


We were happy campers and though our stomach says no already, we still grabbed some dessert! I am a sweet person (not literally haha i hate being mushy and cheesy). I could eat chocolates and ice cream for breakfast and even munch on them for the whole day. Phenylethylamine, found in chocolates, releases feel-good chemicals called endorphins and it’s the same one our brain releases when we fall in love. Hihi. So when i saw these make-your-own halo halo and loads of ice cream toppings, i gave in! Screw the calories! I’m gonna enjoy life

I remember my first time to eat at Yaki Mix and i was rushed to Tagaytay hospital that night
I have gastritis and the excessive food i consumed that late afternoon (because i skipped lunch) gave me heartburn until i couldn’t breathe anymore. It was the worst! I thought i was going to die. I learned my lesson so this time around, i made sure i had enough lunch and didn’t divulge into too much dinner.

Hey nigger squatter sister, why you so clingy and smelly? Hahaha! Just kidding.

At exactly 12 am on her birthday, she woke up to a bouquet of pink roses from Jaspher <3 On her special day, i taught her how to ride the bus and jeepneys here in the Philippines because she had work at Makati. I remember my first time to commute and it was fun (if not exhausting). I waited for her ’til her office hours is over and just stayed in a coffee shop. I spent my time writing prose and drinking strong brewed coffee with espresso shot so that i wouldn’t shamelessly fall asleep in public. Our close friends surprised us and met us in Makati before going home and being with them is always fun and hilarious. Then we had the lovely birthday family dinner at Italianni’s. Here are some Instagram photos from the day

To the most annoying, funniest, dirtiest, loudest, weirdest, craziest and sweetest person on Earth, Happy Birthday!
We were always mistaken as twins and i think you were born to make fun of me. Hahaha. I remember mom and dad’s reminder to feed you like a Chihuahua. Hahaha. And now that you’re growing up, always remember that i would still do anything for you
Love you so much!
