My Birthday Celebration

High School never ends! It never did, and it never will.

I organized an overnight party where I invited my favorite people from HS. It was soooo fun reliving our crazy "habits" and introducing new ones. I guess that's what makes reunions memorable - the fact that even after months have passed, it feels as though there hasn't been any distance.

Sweater: H&M| Shorts: Giordano

Karen Soledad. Vary Jonson. Jerone Malangen. Jana Medel. Gel Nobleza. Jeanne dela Rosa. Lia Pangilinan. Angelica Ferrer. Lexie Reyes. Riva Quizon. Charlene Dacara. Arisa Watanabe. Gui Adriano.
To those who weren't able to attend (you know who you are), don't worry kids. I still love you :>

I didn't bring my camera so all the pictures in here were grabbed from several Instagram accounts

The "Forever" Friend

All of us have that special friend whom, no matter what, we can't say no to. For me, that friend is Vary Jonson. I may have not shown myself to others as frequent as they would have wanted but with her, I'm always just a phone call away. I don't know how she does it but more often than not, things would work out such that I'll be able to leave everything behind just to spend some hours with her. And as I've repeated constantly, she has always always made me laugh, since first year HS. And counting... So when she told me that she's throwing a birthday party, I knew right there and then that come high and come low, I will be there. I had a class that day, leaving me with no time to change and prep up that's why I wore something that could make me look appropriate both in school and for the evening event.

 
TRIBO - my favorite persons ever

Maan and Jeanne - two people who have greatly contributed in making 3rd year HS the best year in my life as a student

I missed you so much, Labs! I hope to see you in more birthday parties to come.

TRIBO - (L-R: Jerone, Verlyn, Dacs, me, Gel, EJ, Jana, Vary, and Karen

Lexie Reyes' VIP Party

At long last, I was allowed to attend a debut of a High School friend after so many months. It felt so good being with the persons who know me, from inside out. 

Happy Birthday, Lex!!! :)

The following pictures were taken in Robot Restaurant and Lounge by everyone who brought their cameras that night. I brought mine along but stupid me, I forgot the memory card.

The Wolfpack - Neill and Ton can't stop talking about Hangover II and kept on referring to each other as members of their own wolfpack. Total weirdos :)) Kidding! 

Meet Jyn. She's one of my friends who, despite having a busy schedule and all, finds time to check  my blog eversince I  started blogging. She also is one of the sweetest! :)

The guy between Riva and I is a guy coming from the other party. Way to go, R ;) I wish I could tell you guys how we met him HAHAHAHA

Jana and I having so much fun, and Jeanne looking drunk :))

Look at the top right picture. Extra ako eh :)) - Hello Rie and Marga!

Let me share with you why I was alone in the center. The people who were seated were bullying me :( They said that if I'll throw a party for my birthday next year, I'll only have two visitors, Eliz and Lexie, since they were the only persons whose debut I've attended.

My two favorite Js in the world: Jerone and Jana

P.S. THANK YOU, GUYS, SO VERY MUCH FOR NEVER FAILING TO FIND TIME TO BE HERE ON MY BLOG. IT MEANS SOOOO MUCH TO ME :">

Thanks to Jyn Enriquez and Lexie Reyes for the pictures

Sudden Loss

11PM last Friday, 10 February 2011, my High School batchmates and I were shocked with what happened to one of us. Our friend Rishei Bartolome has finally joined our Lord Jesus in heaven. She had been diagnosed of Brain Cancer and had been going in and out of the hospital for a year. Earlier this afternoon, after my LEAP class, I hurried in going to Sanctuarium, where her internment is being held. 

Only 17 years old

She was one of the kindest and most diligent girls in our batch. May she rest in peace eternally.

Exclusive Date

It has exactly been two months since I last saw any of my TRIBO friends. It follows too that I haven't been updated with the ins and outs in their lives. So last night, when I finally decided to "show up" in the form of going to Yna's exclusive birthday celebration, I was teased by everyone, telling me how snob and unapproachable I was for the past months. Gosh, really, I didn't mean not to show up guys! Hahaha.

the celebrant, Carmina Reyes

the only TRIBO attendees: Verlyn and Jana 

What a way to celebrate pre-Valentines Day <3
