Back At Gym

I'm actually working out again and on my 5th day in the gym. I enrolled in a gym near at my workplace for convenience. So far, the equipments were fine, they were all branded. The area is wide and I think, it's even complete. Plus, I like the fact that I can use their sauna. And since it's still my 5th day, I can't see visible results from my work out. Hopefully tomorrow my trainor will give me a a set of program to follow.

Wedding Anniversary

One colleague of mine shared with me how he and his wife celebrate their monthsaries. It's interesting to learn that they usually spend their monthsary the night before that special day. They unwind and bond together the night before and wait for the 12 midnight to strike and greet each other with warm hugs and kisses. Since they're newly married, they plan to celebrate their wedding anniversaries that way and as for their third wedding anniversary they plan to go on a vacation abroad. Probably by that time, they were already in Canada.

They usually don't give presents during their monthsaries but will be giving anniversary gifts by year. Everything is planned in advance. And I think for me, the best gift would be an offspring. They should be considering that in their plans.

Cyber Monday

Because we don't have an internet connection at home as of the moment, I want to make my first day of the week as my Cyber Monday mainly because I report to duty earlier that my regular schedule so I have the time to surf the net and to blog. It's pretty hard not having an internet connection at home but I'm getting use to it, hopefully. I just hope I don't get hack using public computers in the cafes.

Baby Shower

How exciting it is to look forward for my friend's baby shower. Just early this morning, I received a baby shower invitations for my friend who is soon to be a mother. My friends and I were all excited. With too much excitement, I am even now pressured what present I would give. Something cute and functional, I think. Hopefully, she will be delivering her baby sometime early this month.

The Retreat


It was a one day overnight retreat at Malaybalay, Bukidnon. I was invited by the ORNAP Davao Chapter to take part on this event. It was a blessing for me as I get to see the magnificent view of this monastery, the Benedictine's Monastery of Transfiguration. Their church is situated on top of the hill surrounded by mountains and hills that is breathtaking. It was one silent and relaxing venue. The monks were accommodating and hospitable and we were given the chance to pray with them as they pray seven times a day on their church.

Their voices were soothing and calm, as if you were listening to an angel's voice when they chant their prayers. The food were sumptuous and fresh, and I especially love their brewed coffee. I even take some at home.

The experience was one of a kind. I appreciated life and it's simplicity.

An Early Prom Shopping

It's still the month of August but surprisingly, I can see a lot of shops selling prom dresses this early. Must be cheaper to buy this time of the day than cramming next year, right? And you can even have the luxury of time to choose which dresses that would best suits you and have the chance to hop from one shop to another. Anyway, there's this cute black dress I saw online and if I am the one going to a prom, I would probably buy this kind of dress.

House Party

It was one fun night at one of our friend's house. He just moved in from that new house and invited us over for a drinking session. There we met his cute little puppy, a two months old labrador. Drinks were abundant that night but glad to say that no one went home drunk. Everyone was cool that night. His house seemed like a bachelor's pad with bean bags as his living room set and a log furniture outside the house for guests who wants to stay there.We were all hoping for another house party sometime next week.
