2012: A Flash Back.
Cheers for 2013!! yey!
Since I haven't blogged here for a very long time, I decided to take a look back on the highlights and wonderful experiences that I had last year, 2012. I had ups & downs, bittersweet life, happy & sad moments, and a whole lot more!
Here's my 2012 summarized ♥
Every year, it's a must to travel. Ever since I tried going out of town or out of the country, I got addicted to it and made me want to explore more. So for the year 2012, I got to see four destination places; Clark Pampanga, Lucban Quezone, Boracay Island and Baguio City.
(1) 02.12.2012. Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga.
Me & Nemo celebrated Valentines ♥ day at The 17th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2012, A Weekend Of Everything That Flies! We had an adventurous and unforgettable date together with the cool and huge hot air balloons.
(2-3) 04.07.2012. Lucban, Quezon.
It's my 2nd time at Kamay Ni Hesus (Hill Of The Resurrected Christ). The famous grotto at Lucban Quezon. It was good to be back! Noah's Ark was newly built, an addition to their tourist spot.
(4-6) 05.27-29.2012. Boracay Island.
The awesome Boracay Island. FINALLY! I was able to visit and hugged the solemnity of the place. It was very relaxing and away from all stressful events in manila. I felt rejuvenated with our out-of-town trip with Nemo & my family. In addition to that, wearing a two-piece suit -- was something I pulled out from my bucket-list!
(7-9) 11.02-03.2012. Baguio City, Philippines.
Another 2nd time! This time with Nemo too! There were so many changes since the last time I saw Baguio. The travel was tiring, but I enjoyed every minute of it.
Forever Zero. My Friends.
They have been with me for the whole year of 2012. It has been a very productive year for us and we almost celebrated every event sharing our most common interests with one another; Pump It Up, Gaming, Cosplay and a lot more!
Level Up Live 2012, Star City, Pump It Up International Fest 2012, Christmas Party. Those were some of our highlighted activities last year. It was awesome and fun too! I really had a great time with them, no boring parts!! I love my family, my circle of friends.
"We eat together, We play together, We win together!"
To my FZ friends, what I want to say to you guys is that, I am looking forward for everyone's success. As a pioneer, I am happy that almost all of us are more focused on our studies and on our work. I pray that we will be able to follow our dreams and make it happen. Work/Study hard, PLAY HARDER!
I'm addicted and I just can't get enough! ♥
We're on our 4th year and everything between us are flowing smoothly. I am very happy that I finally met someone who will always be there for me, for "us", through thick and thin. I don't want to expect anything but I just want to make the most of everything to make our relationship work, not only to make it last, but to make it as bright and as colorful as we can.
Last year, it seems like we've been together 24/7, and yes, there's always a doubt in me - na baka mag-sawa siya sa akin anytime. I always tell him how much I love him everyday; personally or on chat (para makonsensya siya haha. joke.) Just to make him realize that I really want to make him feel that he is loved. Going back, we have been together, exploring the world. Usually we go out-of-town with my family. Most of it, we save and splurge ourselves on our own.
On the other side of it, I love it when I'm seeing Nemo with my family, it's like he's part of our family now. An early husband-to-be in the making. It's making my heart melt and of course, happy that we are both legal with our parents (on both sides).
Speaking of parents, 2012 was the year when I was introduced formally to his dad, and had dinner with his whole family. It was a shivering night at McDonald's after Nemo's graduation ceremony at Antipolo.
On Pump It Up & Cosplay ♥
Yes, I'm a late bloomer. And I started to become a cosplayer late college days. Same as I started dancing Pump It Up when I was a college sophomore in CEU. I remember those days when I was influenced by my friends to do experience a costly hobby, which is, based on my experience - addicting!
So for my SILVER YEAR, I celebrated my birthday last 2012, by hosting a Pump It Up tournament called Pump It Up October Fest 2012. In collaboration with my fellow October birthday celebrants Jepii, Mark, Charles & Maku, and our friend who also joined us - Cheyenne. We sponsored the hosted event with the help of World Of Fun and Andamiro for the prizes and stuffs.
To make the story short, I was able to make my silver year worth-it. I had lunch with my family and had the event and dinner with my friends. It was my very first hosted event and I just want to celebrate also, aside from my birthday, my 5 years as a Pump It Up Female Speed Player. Awesome right?! Another part of the bucket list! ♥
In addition to my birthday celebration, I had a MIND-BLOWING celebration date with Nemo at The Mind Museum. It was my first time having a scientific date with him. Silver year it is! Thanks Nemo ♥
Cheers to my very FIRST TALENT FEE!
I was paid to perform my Pump It Up winning piece last 2009 Fun Pamilya Festival Year 2. It was World Of Fun's 25th Anniversary. All winners from previous contests was invited to perform. I received cash, gift certificates and a Woffy plush! Plus free McDonald's Lunch and a Jollibee spaghetti snack! I felt like I was famous for a day! Thanks World Of Fun!
I know.. 2012 was the YEAR OF THE GANGNAM... So here's a surprise birthday treat to my one and only, Nemo!♥
Tadaaaaah!!! Edited some photos of Nemo and made a collage letter for his birthday, added a Street Fighter X Tekken PC game, which I SUPER KNOW that he's going to LOVE IT MORE THAN HE LOVES ME! NOT. hahaha :P Going back, It was a very successful surprise despite our 24/7 togetherness! I'm good at sneaking out you know! LOL.
Gave him LOVE PILLS too! I made it myself. haha ♥
Going back... Aside from Pump It Up, 2012 welcomes me for a comeback. After how many years, I went back cosplaying. This time, I was Evergreen from the anime Fairy Tail. I stopped cosplaying way back when I was graduating college, that's 2009 if I'm not mistaken.
This kind of hobby is very costly and that time, I'm trying to manage a budget for my needs and wants. So I always say NO to cosplay every now and then. Until such time, my friends was so eager to push the Fairy Tail group cosplay. So, definitely -- I WAS FORCED TO DO SO! hahaha... Went through planning stage, until I had second thoughts, until I backed-out and there -- I became Evergreen! hahaha! Nemo cosplayed too, he was Mystogan.
What makes this cosplay event more special? That's when I saw my college classmate friend, Mark Canada, cosplaying as Laxus Dreyar, wherein Laxus and Evergreen is on the same tribe in the anime Fairy Tail! Small world! I was able to chat with him even for a short period of time. Cool mini-reunion for us!
The Then and the NOW ♥
How about going back to the old times, shall we?
Kawaiiii Hello Kitty!!
It was 3 years ago when I hugged Hello Kitty in person! That's why I am very glad to hear that she's coming back in the Philippines for another meet & greet event at SM North Edsa. I was such a kid that time! So much Hello Kitty-ness inside me.
How about seeing Vice Ganda the 2nd time around?! It was another unkabogable night with Vice Ganda in his talk show Gandang Gabi Vice. Wherein I saw Ms. Universe 1st runner-up Ms. Janine Tugonon and Fernando Po Jr.'s daughter - Ms. Grace Po. The taping is boring, I admit. But during the discussion, it was a jaw-breaking experience laughing with Vice Ganda and his guests. I wasn't able to have a photo with him, but I was able to have a screen shot from the teaser of the show! hahahaha.. photobomb! :P
Going back....
Talking about work. Yes, I'm a Marketing Assistant at Computer Avenue Trading for 3 years. I'm working for my aunt so that I can help her around with her business. Eventually, I'm planning to go abroad to explore more opportunities and to try to compare life from both sides. And of course, to help out my mom. If you're going to ask me, I really want to put up my OWN BUSINESS. Something that I worked hard from scratch. I have a lot of plans in my mind, but I still don't know what should I do first. My goal is to make a little difference on what I'm already used to and save money - for real!
Anyhow...
Here's a stress-reliever from work. Had an Army Navy dinner with Ma'am Imee and her husband Tito Orly ♥ It's our first time to go out together as a double date ♥ I can really say that it was MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! :)

This Is My December ♩♪♫♬
Last year of December 2012, it has been a jam-packed month full of awesome events and festivities! I wanna call it a hell month but it isn't really a "hell" for me. Awesome invites from different events and attended most of my first times memoirs. I wanted to blog everything of what had happened but It will take a whole lot of my blog to emphasize everything. So what I did, I'll just give you the highlights of my December 2012 ♥
To begin with....
12.21.12
Nemo's Graduation ♥
I am also happy, that for the very first time, I had dinner with your family. After 4 years of waiting, at long last - hearing something like "part ka na ng pamilya namin" from your father, is the most unforgettable moment of my life. Thank you for introducing me to your family ♥
12.16.12
Computer Avenue Christmas Party ♥
My office mates together with their families, Computer Avenue had an Eat-All-You-Can lunch Christmas Party at Zensho's Japanese Restaurant. They cook just in front of you! So we don't need to line-up at the buffet table or to race for crabs and shrimps. Isn't it making an ordinary tummy orgasmic?! awesome ideas are awesome!
12.20.12
Pump It Up Fiesta 2 Field Location Test ♥
I was invited by Andamiro's Pump It Up Supporters; Jefferson Magsano, to witness and try, for the very first time, the newest version of Pump It Up - Pump It Up Fiesta 2. Andamiro's representatives, Macnom, brought the Fiesta 2 HDD in the Philippines for its first Field Location Test. This is to market their products to selected amusement parks such as Timezone. So we, as members of the Pump It Up Philippines team, we tried the newest version at it's finest. We had the privilege to make the most of the Fiesta 2 upgrade just so before everyone can play with it when it's out to the market. Luckily, we we're allowed to bring someone with us, so I was with Nemo the whole time! Thanks Jeff & Recca for the invitation. To sum it up, Fiesta 2 is awesome for me!
Here's my final verdict for the Pump It Up Fiesta 2 evaluation sheet.
12.22.2012
World Of Fun 25th Anniversary ♥
Cheers to my VERY FIRST TALENT FEE!!! I received cash, World Of Fun gift certificates and a Woffy Plush. I just have to perform my winning piece for their event! Awesome right?!
I never thought that I'm earning for only playing a game. I am telling you - it was an awesome experience for me, since I really love and enjoy what I am doing. Would you believe I received P10,000.00 just for playing Pump It Up? How cool was that?!
Going back..
All the winners of their previous contests and events, were invited to perform all of their winning piece during their winning moment. It serves as a flash back for 25 years of gaming and fun activities at World Of Fun. So there, I was the 1st Runner-Up last 2009's Fun-Pamilya Fest Year 2 for Pump It Up Speed Category, that's why I was invited. Luckily, I was able to file half day from my work. Together with me was Rocky, winner for the Year 1's event for Pump It Up Freestyle Category. Some of our FZ friends went too. And what I loved the most was the part when DJ Rico Panero still recognizes me! He's also the emcee during my winning moment. haha! And still, after 3 years, he still remembers me! Thank you so much Sir Rico ♥
12.23.12
Hello Kitty Meet & Greet @ SM North
Fun Time Fun Challenge @ SM Fairview
The last time I went to the Hello Kitty Village at SM North, I was able to purchase P790.00 for my Hello Kitty Top at Forever21. I also bought a Hello Kitty stuffed-seat and Hello Kitty Gelatin. That's the reason why I was able to have my passes to meet and greet Hello Kitty in person! Minimum of P500 for you to be able to have free passes.
So there, I went back last December 23. Hugged and kissed Hello Kitty the 2nd time around! My first time was last 2009 at SM Megamall. As far as I remember, Hello Kitty came all the way from England. ♥
Right after Hello Kitty, I went straight to SM Fairview to judge a mini Pump It UP Competition. It was World Of Fun's sister company - Fun Time (located inside the Bowling arena at SM Fairview). Mr. Michael Ignacio invited me as one of his judges.
Congratulations!
1st - Jazwell Poquiz
2nd - Nick Nishino
3rd - Joshua Maramba
12.22.12
FZSL Christmas Party ♥
A whole lot more of a Christmas Party with my FZSL friends! Exchange gifts, contributions for the pancit bilao, drinks and ampao prizes, games and kwentuhan bonding experience all at Mean's place. It was another, unforgettable night. We almost went home by 2:00 am. Some of them went to Jepii's house for an overnight while others went home already.
That night, was really enchanted for me and my friends. All my hard work in organizing this one of a kind get-together party was worth it.
12.24-25.12
Family Christmas Time ♥
Spent Christmas with my family, and with my brothers as well. Treat them with a Shakey's Grand Slam pizza (for the first time) and went to Eastwood to watch El Presidente Movie. I was also showered with blessings, caught $4 from a random stranger showering blessings from the 2nd floor of the mall. Shouted a HUGE THANKS to him & her (they said they were OFWs) It was a cool experience, raining money around Eastwood. Such a kind heart sharing their Christmas blessings with us!
Me with my boy band family ♥ How I wish Mama was here. Merry Christmas everyone!
Cheers to my awesome Christmas Nemo Chichi Online Shop's customers! Nemo Chichi Online Shop was still open even on Christmas! Thank you so much for all our December Nemo Chichi customers! I love you guys!
~♥ Anna & Mitch.
12.29.12
Christmas Dinner with Ma'am Imee
Had an Army Navy experience with Ma'am Imee and her husband, Tito Orly. It was our first time together to celebrate a Christmas Dinner. We're planning to have a Yellow Cab experience, a New Year Dinner I guess?! haha..
12.30.12
Medina-Diaz Nuptial.
Alpadi Estate, Antipolo.
CONGRATULATIONS Achie Juliet and Tito Ivan! Your love story was very inspiring ♥
12.31.12
Year-End Date with Nemo.
Spent the last day of the year with a Pump It Up exercise in the morning, then Nemo bought a Christmas gift for himself, watched Sisterakas, went to Santolan LRT Station for a meet-up with one of our suppliers for Nemo Chichi Online Shop and a Pizza Bluemoon Dinner together. It was a productive day for us. Thank you Nemo ♥
And lastly....
Minutes before New Year... Prepared something for my family ♥
Pizza Hut and Balot as my simple treat for them :) Happy New Year!!!
