Work, Workshop, Shop

Monthly Habit?

Shuttling between Cebu and Manila for the past 3 months has given me the chance to spend time with my maiden family. First it was in Dec. 19 for the corporate Christmas party, next was on Jan. 19 for the interview for our US visa application. Then this week, it's another trip back to Metro-polluted (heehee) Manila for a workshop and a big meeting.

Never mind the traffic jams that clog the metro just like the smog that clogs every pore in my skin, a free trip and a chance to spend time with loved ones are enough reasons for me to take it....

  4. HI PAZ!
    Yey thanks! The frame is from i2i and the lenses are from Executive Optical. Total cost is LESS THAN P500. :D

    HI JUNNIE!
    a free trip and a chance to spend time with loved ones are enough reasons for me to take it... actually translates to "I love going back to Manila to enjoy some time with family" hehehe.

    HI DENDEN!
    She does, and she's even named after mamarazzi! :D

  6. Nice to know Mamarazzi and me are target beneficiaries of your visit here in Manila---meaning side-trips na lang yung E*i*t meeting and the SHOPPING around that you love most!

    Even if you don't have to say it, you can have the Crosswind naman for your tour of Metro Manila. Just don't forget to gas up and charge it to S*m*l*/E*i*t account. :)

  11. HI JUNNIE!
    Yup, we enjoyed the trip immensely! See Feb 14 post as a testament to that. :D

    HI PAPARAZZI!
    The trip proved hectic for our schedules but I'm glad to have been able to spend 24 hours with you and Mama and May and family. Short but sweet kung baga... kahit dotted with "asaran" as usual. Hehehe....

    HI VANGIE!
    Oo nga e, kulang ng kape! Hahaha... International looks ang dating namin kapag kumpleto. ;)

  12. HI JANETTE!
    Thanks! I agree, it's a blessing to be able to work and enjoy the travel because it affords me to spend time and reconnect with loved ones.

    HI TIN!
    Ako paid in PHP... Hahaha! Buti na lang may travel perks and Jerry and I work in the same company. It's actually a good thing for us, contrary to what some people think about the hubs and wife working together for one company. Enjoy nga sa totoo lang. :D

    HI ANALYSE!
    That's precisely my thought! :D If you bring bebe to the Phils for a visit, pagkakaguluhan sya sa ka-cute-an! ;)
