Seriously Drunk

I was a diligent student. I never had liquor when I was in high school and college except when there were school events and friends were drinking. But outside school and school-related events, all I had was soda.

One friend labeled me as a “very good girl” for not drinking. I only got drunk twice in my entire life. So, I asked two good friends last week (during my mommy break) to take me to a bar and get drunk – for the sake of being drunk. And it was fun! Especially when one friend started to make sense all because of the alcohol. We talked about abortion, mining and he even shared some insights about a cigar blog recommended by the DJ. I was beyond drunk, thanks to margarita and screw driver (part orange juice, part vodka). All I wanted to do was sleep! So when my friends dropped me off at my hotel, I just changed into my sleeping clothes and dozed off to lalaland. The following day, I had to travel and all I did was sleep on the way.

Anyway, it was indeed a memorable experience. My hang over lasted for about 18 hours! My friends said that they had as much fun as I had and that we should do it again some time. Me: Yes, we should do it again AFTER 10 YEARS! Hahaha! I just dislike the hang over period when I can’t do a thing but sleep. I might do it again next year – with the same company of course.

Refreshed!

And so we are back from a relatively long vacation which I’ve dubbed as my Mommy Break. It started when we made the big move. Having no social life, being a work-from-home mom and a full time domestic goddess, I felt that I needed some time to reconnect with my old friends that I left behind. It has always been a refreshing experience and this recent trip is no different. My super friends found time to see me, I visited the university where I used to work and the restaurants where my friends and I loved.

My BFF noticed that almost all of my posted photos are in front of the dining tables. Haha! Obviously, I am friends with people who just love to eat!

Anyway, we are back to our normal programming. School shall start for our daughter next week and we’ve already bought her the school supplies she needs. We still need to do some other tasks related to her going back to school and it’s a good thing my husband volunteered to do some of them so I am not that harried anymore.

So there. It feels like New Year for me. I so ready to tackle on the new school year, I feel refreshed and inspired to work even harder. And that’s vacations are for.

Checking In

I have been on a trip, seeing and spending time with my old friends. This has become a tradition for three years now and I have been looking forward to doing this as I miss them so much. I dine out with them almost everyday since I arrived and it won’t be a surprise anymore when I gain a significant amount of weight once this holiday of mine is over. I have been staying in a really nice and affordable hotel with free wifi, thus, I can finish some online work and finish tasks related to my online business while on a vacation. However, I discovered just now that one of the windows’ seals is broken, the reason why my room is not cold enough. I will report it tomorrow to the receptionist as I am very sleepy right now.

Anyway, ciao! I still have one week more to enjoy this trip!

Our 2013 Hot Air Balloon Festival Experience

Last February, my family and I along with some of our friends attended the 2013 Hot Air Balloon Festival at Clark in Pampanga. It was one memorable experience for all of us and I had so much fun! Since I have been too lazy to bring with me my DSLR, I used my impressive Lumix camera. Here is one of the photos I took. This is in fact, my most favorite:

And no, this picture is not turned upside down. The balloon itself is upside down! Can you guess who this character is?

Humpty Dumpty.
