I got my neney a simple gift and this cute little card for his birthday.

Last week was very exhausting for me: deadlines to meet, bothersome clients, and my neney got sick. And you know how stressful it gets when someone gets sick Anyway, when my neney was recovering, she was advised that she needs to relax. And the best way to relax is to go on a vacation. So that’s exactly what we did.

Saturday came and we went straight heading to a private resort in Lucena, Quezon for an overnight vacation. Upon arriving at Lucena, we still had to take a boat to go to the resort. When we arrived there, we hurriedly unpacked our bags and went to dinner immediately. Dinner was really great; imagine fresh large prawns cooked only by steam, pinakbet, corn chowder with crab meat, sinigang na lapu-lapu and, of course, inihaw na liempo which was grilled to perfection. Muy delicioso!

After dinner, neney was really excited to go swimming. That’s when I found out that she doesn’t know how to swim. So I was giving her lessons on how to float which we dumbly called, “floating exercises”. *hehehe* Anyway, we had to do all that all night but was cut short because it was getting late.

The following day, we got out of bed early because neney’s dad wanted us to go around the farm jogging. We rented one of those golf carts (I don’t know what to call them) so that when someone got tired they could ride on it. Actually, it was fun driving one of those carts.

After that, neney was again asking me to go swimming because she was getting the hang of floating that night and wanted to do it by herself. After some encouragement and her perseverance to learn how to float, she started to float. Though she needed more practice to perfect the skill of floating, she’s doing great for an amatuer. Well, that’s my neney after all. She’s great on everything she does. *smiles*

Lunch came, and man, again it was feast to remember: pansit Lucban, inihaw na manok, chopsuey, cream of corn soup and linasing na hipon.

I really enjoyed that vacation and what makes it more enjoyable is that, I spent it with my neney and her family. I don’t know if we’re going to do it again soon, but the important thing is, we enjoyed and the memory that comes along with it will always be remembered.

Here are pictures that we took during our vacation.

last friday night, i went out together with my boss, one of my officemate and our visitor from embarka, bill nutt, to metro walk in ortigas. it was the last day of our training so my boss decided that we go out that night. later that afternoon, my neney was also anxious to come with me to metro walk since it was the album launching of spongecola, one of her favorite bands. in short, i was not able to accompany her because i have to go with my boss to entertain our guest.

we arrived at metro walk around 9:00pm because of the traffic. while i was looking for a bar where we could stay, i saw spongecola up on stage playing. so i hurriedly called my neney up thinking i would make her happy by just letting her hear the music playing on the background. but it didn’t turn out the way i hoped. she was mad at me after that. so i was explaining to her that that was not my intention and so on. after a while, everything was fine. and to make it up with her, i bought her a cd of spongecola. no it’s not a bribe, it’s being thoughtful. *smiles*

yep, that’s right folks. me and my neney are giving away two free tickets at the embassy to attend the i-on day2nite party. this will be happening on august 31, 2006 and starts at 6pm.

what’s the catch?

well, i don’t know if there is any, but in exchange for the tickets you guys need to answer some questions.

the questions.

1. why do think you deserve the tickets?
2. who are you coming with and why?
3. do you have an imaginary friend? if so, would you take him/her to the embassy party? — i don’t know why neney wants to know about this.

be sure to answer all the questions in order to qualify. the contest will end on august 25 and we will be announcing the winners the next day.
