A Necessary Farewell
|
|
| Quote: | Don't be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain .....
-Richard Bach |
After stressful and frantic preparations leading to this day...
no matter how much we would have wished for these loved ones to stay...
The time has come to say "adieu" to Junnie and Mitzi,
who are off to Canada to start a new life, you see.
May the good Lord keep you safe and shower you with his abundant blessings ALWAYS!
Au Revoir... See you soon!

TAGAYTAY
|
|
Being in Cebu for most of their lives, it was Matt & Kyle's first time to see the Taal Volcano this morning. Looking at our pics at Taal Vista Lodge where we had a sumptuous buffet lunch courtesy of Junnie and Mitzi, one could see what a treat it was for the boys...
Er, ditto for Tito Junnie who (at the Residence Inn) dared to wear a python on his body for photo op!

The Boys Arrive!!!

The trip from Grande Island this morning was not as treacherous as the trip going there yesterday. We had a short stop at the Royal Subic Duty Free for some shopping. I didn't buy a single item and that is something for somebody as impulsive as me! 
Going back to the office where Paparazzi was to fetch me took longer due to the regular Friday traffic in the metro. Long story short, I was glad to see my boys, Matt & Kyle looking good after their morning flight from Cebu. Jerry was caring for baby Jake so he was just home waiting for our arrival.

Paparazzi was kind enough to drive me at 5am to Cubao to make it in time for the bus ride to Subic. It was a long ride with the bus slowing down every now and then as it passed through the flooded streets of Pampanga province. I'm quite surprised that with the floods and rainy weather, we are still pushing through with the plan. Oh well....
The activities for the day were great. It was like we were on Amazing Race and Fear Factor trying to beat the time as we figured out the challenges. Two thumbs-up for the adrenaline rush!

Arrived in Manila late afternoon today after spending the morning in the office. Do I get a medal of recognition for reporting for work on the day of my trip to Manila? I guess not!
Glad to see Paparazzi, Ma, Junnie, Mitzi, May and Rommel after two months.  Though it was stormy, we managed to get together for a Japanese dinner at the Power Plant.

The Imperial Circus at the Ayala Center Cebu
|
|
|
It's human nature to gripe and whine when things don't go his way. And lately, I have seen myself on several occasions doing the same.
With the new boss who is naturally expecting the best from his team, the workfront has never been the same. I feel I am spreading myself too thinly trying to fit everything in my schedule- the General Assembly today (yes on a Sunday) and tomorrow (8am-6pm), the teambuilding in Grande Island on Aug 25-27, the family trip to Manila on Aug 27-29, and my group's deadline for month-end reports on the 31st... yada-yada...
Yesterday, I decided to take a breather and went with my family and in-laws to see the Imperial Circus at the Ayala Center Cebu. The show was amazing and you literally hold your breath watching every stunt onstage. It was really great watching it with the family.
With so many things at hand, this was just the thing I needed to keep my life balanced.

Pareho tayo eh! Parting is really sad no matter how we keep telling ourselves it's not that bad. My only consolation is the thought that because of you and Mitzi, Canada is now added to our MUST-VISIT itineraries.
. Ingat din dyan sa Singapore! 
Just couldn't help feeling blue... Thanks for the compliment about the pics!
