"with all that i've done wrong, i must've done something right"
- from the song butterfly kisses* by bob carlisle
1. got sent to india last may for work-related training. and got to visit taj mahal. (my own set of photos still yet to be uploaded, though! linking you to robbie and pamy's first...)
2. received two cool job offers: bayan-anihan and philippine center for entrepreneurship.
4. met these strong and fun climbers in yangshuo, who turned out to be sponsored athletes. one was also a photographer, who took my photo and was able to use it for PATAGONIA!!!! (i'm the one in red beside the butterfly!!!! i was so psyched when i found out about this!)
6. given a slot for an upcoming event by the chinese mountaineering association. i'll be off to huguan province, china on Thursday!
7. know a reliable travel agent. rina is the best!!!
8. have a mom who founded chocolate kiss. she went on a vacation over the weekend, so last Friday, i had to receive -- on her behalf, along with Minette our UP branch manager -- an award given by the QC government for being part of the Top Ten Restaurant Trendsetters in Quezon City. this was one of the activities in the QC-na event. grabe, sobrang nakakataba ng puso!!!
9. loved by loula, our family golden retriever. kahit na hindi ako ang pack leader ;)
10. take part in a beautiful, meaningful wedding. congratulations to my friends nina and yuklid :-) super happy for you guys.
there are more, but if i list them all, this will never end!!! :-D
*super sappy song, but this particular line struck me and has always been tucked away in my mind...

ReplyDeletegood things come to good people =)
ReplyDeleteYep, sort of have the same feeling, when things go wrong they sort of straighten out as if on their own will... it gets scary sometimes... as if someone has a secret agenda with you... kinda' feels spooky...

SI ATE NINA AT KUYA YUKLID KINASAL NA??????? *WOW!* Nagulat ako!!! Dati (CMLI days) nagpapatulong pa sa akin si Kuya Yuklid dahil akala niya ayaw sa kanya ni Ate Nina! :-O Naalala ko nung binilugan ni Kuya Yuklid lahat ng 'ni' at 'na' sa libro niya ng El Filibusterismo...kami ni Angela Bunag ang magkasama nun at hindi kami makapaniwala dahil natapos niya talaga yug buong book! Alam ko anniv nila dati March 17, kasi b-day yun ng mommy ko, hehehe, naalala ko lang lahat... How do I contact them kaya? Gusto ko lang sila i-super-duper-congratulate :)
