My sister’s birthday was fun even if we were just at home. I baked some goods and her request was cream cheese brownies. I kinda failed but she ate them anyway. AD gave us a visit and we were glad for it. She’s so sweet to us. Sometimes I feel spoiled hahaha.

Feb 2011

My birthday was fun XDDD We went to Binondo and ate at Wan Chai. It was KKB but I brought home-made cupcakes. And Valentine’s Day was pretty special too. JM and I went out for lunch in our favorite place: Twenty One Plates. We then went to Serenitea where I started crocheting my birthday gift to a friend, and in the evening we watched a play where his friends were part of.

March 2011

This was a cake month. Lol. My sister and I made two birthday cakes. One was for Josh who loved Sponge Bob Squarepants so we made him a chocolate cake with fondant as decoration. It was pretty cool :) And mom’s birthday was a week after and we made her one too. But something more feminine so it was a white cake with store bought icing flowers.

I think I met Madz around this time. Madz is a very talented girl and a great cosplayer. She even has a pretty pretty doll named Alice.

April 2011 

 
Glenn and Shane visited Manila :) We even had a family day of sorts hahaha. It was a day of bonding with them, Chelle, Josh, JP and his siblings, Martin and Renee. It was a great day! Too bad JM was out of town that day but at least Glenn and Shane were around for a week. :)

And Glenn was there when we went to Punta Fuego for our summer outing. It was me and my ‘siblings’ who shared the room with JM so all that time we had so much stuff to talk about. I wish Shane and JP were there too but they had to do other stuff that weekend.

May 2011

Surprise of the month was Enzo’s birthday party. I think we shocked him so well that his expression was so priceless. Everyone was in on the scheme! Including their high school barkada and his girlfriend. It was so much fun! I am not sure how we could top that next year. We also had bonding nights that time because we went OT on some nights and on other nights, we would be playing Taboo in the office, whether it’s just us or with Ruth’s sisters. XD The interns were such great
people to hang out with.

June 2011

JM’s birthday happened and because I didn’t really have enough budget  for a really big gift, I treated him to Yakimix because food is glorious! Hahaha. XDDD Food will always be special, I think. The banana muffins were fine :3

July 2011 

 
JM and I had a lunch date at Spirals Clair + Food = Happy Time! I dressed up a bit for a change and I was glad he really appreciated my effort in primping up haha and another special thing from that day was that he gave me a dip pen set. :3

Aug 2011 

August was the time that I visited Manila Zoo once again. I know I should go back because I really want to see how the animals are doing and if the handlers are doing fine as well. The visit we did was an eye-opener for me and it’s still at the back of my head, trying to figure out what’s the best way to help them. I need to follow up on this thing in 2012. :)

I think it was around August that I started frequently replying to Andhie and Kurn’s blog posts XD

Sept 2011 

Our company turned 1! We had a photoshoot at Citrus Snap and they were so nice and accommodating. We filled up their entire studio because everyone was there for the shoot. We had a party too and everyone helped out in making the decorations. XD I learned a little bit about flower arrangement from Liyan, the one who headed the decoration team. I also recall that September was the time that I
watched a fashion show which involved some of my favorite people from the internet: Cat, Chai, Luisa, Sese, Leny. After that, I added a new fave: Yapo. Not everyone of them knows who I am but watching them progress is just amazing. :)

I also had some fun learning moments during September. After all, FFC  happened then. :)

Oct 2011 

Surprise birthday visit to Glenn XD It was my first flight out of the country and it was really awesome! I wish our other friends were there too but it’s ok. At least we were able to give him a nice surprise. Not just the visit, but we also had a video for him. XDDD Had some shopping done in Sg! Cotton On is a great place to shop. And food trip galore in Sg too :D We also had a company event which involved trick or treats with kids from two NGOs. :)

The Ongaku gig happened in October. It was a blast! Funny thing was that my sister, our friend Anna and I all won at the raffle in between performances hahaha.

And October is special because I witnessed another special couple who got married that time. Glad to have met Sacha and Wayne again after so  long! All the way from Canada.

Nov 2011

I think it was November when we saw the schedule of the L’arc en Ciel pre-selling of tickets. XDDD I spazzed. Seriously. Hahaha! Oh and the last Momo Manila event was held in November. We were late but JM won a Blackberry Playbook hahaha XDDD And it turns out that some friends of mine from high school and college were there during the event too.

Dec 2011
December was a busy time! So much to do and so little time. Some notable things include meeting new people online and offline. :) And get togethers! This year was the most fun get together at my lolo’s house because of the bingo thing and the gimmicks that my uncles and aunts did. And glorious food! Again. I think I have a one-track mind XDDD I could just think about food food and food!
