MYMP live!

just got home from watching MYMP live! at 19East in Sucat, Paranaque. it was like listening to MYMP songs in my iPod except that a few steps infront of me was Juris and her band. Juris also sang some songs from their new album "New Horizon", my favorites of which are Only Reminds me of YOu, Nothing's Gonna Stop us Now, You Got it All and Crazy for You. Hmmm, all remakes...is this a sign i'm getting old? yaiks!!! Their original single, With You, sounds good too. They ended the show with the song that made them popular "Tell Me Where It Hurts."

Fil bought a copy of the new album and waited in line to steal Juris for a few seconds for her autograph and a picture.

What a smile! got something to show off to his pinoy friends back in the States hehehe :-)

our moment with the Pacman!

Fil and i were in General Santos City last December 27-29 to attend Grace's wedding. But i had more reasons to be there: to reunite with my former classmates and friends and see for myself how the city has changed since i left in 1991 (actually i was here for only one night in 1997 but i consider it not counted).

It was nonstop fun! dinner at the bride's residence and bridal shower till 1am, morning meeting with college friend Amy, tour of the city, stopover at my highschool campus for some quick pictures (nakakaiyak, it's been 15 years!), wedding and reception, to the hospital after the wedding to visit fil's cousin who gave birth, gimmick at babes bar with sharlene till 3am, 30-minute chat with my friend Arnel before we left for the airport.

And LUCK was with us! On our very first day in the city, about 4 hours after we arrived, we had a close encounter with Manny Pacquiao! The hotel elevator opened at the 2nd floor and PACMAN was there looking straight at us. PICTURE!!!

Finally, CAMIGUIN!!!

20-22 December 2006. For our pre-christmas activity, Fil and I decided to drive from Davao City to Camiguin with his parents and friend Eric. We left Davao City at night and drove for 7 hours to catch the early ferry trip from Balingoan Port in Misamis Oriental that brought us to Camiguin within 45 minutes. And aren't we lucky? playful dolphins escorted us as we entered the Camiguin channel and a full rainbow welcomed us to the island!

Camiguin is a pear-shaped volcanic island with a total land area of 238 sq. kilometers and is famous not only for its natural beauty but also for its sweet lanzones of which they hold a festival during the month of October. The island is so small, we literally circled the whole of it in a few hours! We stayed at Paras Beach Resort for 2 nights, said to be the best in the island.

We visited the usual tourist sites:
White Island (where we ate breakfast and i had fun running around in my bikini - you should see my videos hehehe), Katibawasan Falls, Ardent Hot Spring (although water was disappointingly lukewarm, not hot), Sto. Nino Cold Spring (really, really cold brrrrrr), ruins of the old church and the Sunken Cemetery. Anywhere in the island we could see Mt. Hibok-hibok and the other 6 volcanoes said to have caused the creation of this island due to volcanic eruptions and land movements. We also visited some of Eric's and Fil's relatives and friends of his parents and had a surprise lunch at J&A Fishpen, surprise because we went there to take pictures but ended up ordering whatever seafood dish they could offer.

yeah, we had so much FUN! Camiguin...wish i could "come again!"
