Quad-Birthday Celeb with my Brothers ♥
October 13, 2013.
Quad-Birthday Celebration. SM Mall Of Asia.
Yabu - The House of Katsu.
Insidious 2 Movie.
To start my very own version of "October Fest", I wanted to spend my birthday with my brothers. I really want to at least, spend a day with them, since we don't always see each other in Manila. So I guess, my birthday won't be complete without them.
We are four in the family. And yes, I'm one of the boys! I want to celebrate my birthday with them, in order for us to celebrate ALL our birthdays together! Roman celebrated his birthday last August, Me & Ryan will be celebrating ours this October while Rafael is on January. It's a one-time-big-time celebration for us. It's my first time to treat them this big! Haha.. Gusto ko rin kasi makabawi sa kanila for how many years na hindi ko sila palaging kasama. It's a Laguna-Cainta long distance relationship for us. Thanks to Skype, Facebook & Viber for our blessed communications! haha :)
I bought a small souvenir :) My gift to my brothers -
I gave the red one to Ryan, Military for Roman, Yellow for Raffy and Purple for me! Thank God they love it. :) Kulang pa yan para makabawi ako sa inyo :) I love you guys!
First stop at Yabu - The House of Katsu. We were about to eat at Mann Hann so that I can treat them for less. But eventually, I wanted something different for them. Yung lahat kami hindi pa kami nakaka-kain doon. So thanks to the virtual map that we end up waiting for our reservation at Yabu :)
Nemo & I was planning to eat at Yabu at Robinsons Magnolia. We're too busy that's why we don't have time to visit the place. Until, I wanted to eat here with my family, as we were browsing the menu, (it was too expensive for me, but it was worth it! Highly recommended!) I wasn't expecting that they have unlimited rice too! Just like at Tokyo Tokyo. They have unli-JAPANESE rice! Awesome right?
What makes it different from Tokyo Tokyo is that, aside from unlimited Japanese rice, they also serve miso soup, Japanese pickles, unlimited cabbage with sesame dressing and a bowl of fruit!
It was really worth the wait and even though it was so costly, I didn't regret treating my family at Yabu. Two-thumbs up!
Check out Ms. Ann, she was trying to discuss to us on how to do the sesame dressings.
Here's mine & Papa's order; Seafood Katsu Set, 120g Creamy Dory Fillet , while Roman ordered 120g Chicken Katsu Set. Ryan, Raffy & Nemo ordered Tonkatsu Set; 120g Rosu (Porkloin).
Hi Papa and bunso! :)
Ang gwapo na ng mga kapatid ko :)
Happy Birthday Buchok! Mauuna kang tumanda sa akin hehe :) I hope you enjoyed our Sun-DATE for the very first time.. I hope you also love the watch. Para tayong Voltes V niyan, just call my name and I'll be there! Haha.. Love you so much! *chim*
Family Picture! I love this photo of us, not because I found Nemo, haha! I feel like we're whole again. Masaya kami, oo, pero syempre, mas-masaya if mama was here too. I miss you mama! I hope you were here with us to celebrate as a one happy family. We will be good sons & daughters for you mama! This is for you! I love you!
And Nemo, of course, I know that YOU KNOW I brought you with us kasi ikaw ang photographer namin. Hahaha! And I just want to THANK YOU and give you HUGE HUGS for being an excellent photographer! All of our happy moments were captured. Thanks to you!
When you see it, you'll shit bricks! hahaha :)) Sorry naman! Mali pagkaka-basa ko eh! Laugh trip hahaha! Di ko rin makalimutan yung "kenchi" na order ko.. chicken dapat yun eh.. I was mixed up with "chicken" and "menchu" hahahaha!
Right after our lunch, we're scheduled on a 3:40 pm movie-date! Pig-asis attack! :))
(Pig-asis is our term for getting sleepy after getting bloated) Haha!
We enjoyed and I SURVIVED INSIDIOUS Chapter 2! First time kong maka-sabay sumigaw si Ryan! hahahaha :P
1st week - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
Thank you Lord for everything! For all the blessings you have showered me and my family. Thank you for giving us a chance to celebrate together, as one. And I hope that you will always take care of them, shower them your blessings and give them lots of happiness and good health through out life. Please don't forget Mama too.. I love her so much. Thank you for always being there for them. Amen.
Thank you mga kapatid ko! I love you and I hope nag-enjoy kayo sa Sun-date natin :)

Nemo's 23rd ♥
It was an awesome birthday celebration for a week! Nemo turned 23 last tuesday (September 17, 2013) And it was an overload of mixed emotions and what I really want to do on his birthday, is to make him happy & making him feel that he is loved :)
Sunday. 09/15/2013
Nemo chose this day to celebrate with me & with our friends.
So early morning, we had a rainy brunch at Banapple Katipunan. I was craving for Cream Dory that day, that's why he took me to Banapple for lunch ♥
We went straight to Timezone Gateway to meet our friends x Pump It Up couple buddies - Jaz & Mean. We decided to spend our time together dancing & exercising while playing Pump It Up.
At around 7:00 pm, went straight to Fiesta Villa to meet our FZ friends. It was a pancit treat from Nemo. The long-life trending pancit with lechon toppings :) His Sunday with me and our friends was worth-it!
Tuesday. 09/17/2013.
Nemo wants to celebrate his birthday with his family. So he wanted to treat them for a dinner after work, at home.
Nemo went to Red Ribbon to buy himself a cake. It was a promise made for his father's request and for his niece, the adorable Jhaika! The sales lady asked Nemo - "ano pong kulay ng candle sir? Blue po o pink?" Without hesitations, Nemo chose the pink candle -- Sabi nga ni Nemo, "for sure kilala ko na kung sino ang magblo-blow ng cake!" haha :)
I was planning to do a theme for Nemo's birthday. It was a surprise which I eventually failed. I was having a hard time to sneak out from Nemo. I got the idea from the movie, My Amnesia Girl. The "post its" remember? But I don't have time to do it. I was able to ask help from his mom and dad, they allowed me to sneak out at their house at 5:30 am so that I will be able to do my surprise in the morning, right after he wakes up.
I failed.
I wasn't able to do it, one thing is that it was too early for me and I was so exhausted the night before since I was also rushing to finish the post its. So I decided to do a Plan B.
I didn't put it on his wall, but I did put it on his bed! I even spread rose & orchids everywhere! Tadaaaah!!! I guess it worked, he was surprised! Haha :P
Disclaimer: All drawings were grabbed from HJ Story Illustrations. However, some thoughts written was originally from the bottom of my heart! ♥
It was endurance and fellowship of the house party protocol. ♥SURPRISE!!!! Iron Man Casing and a 16GB USB Flash Drive ♥ I know you want it! Love you!
Thank you Jarvis for making Nemo sooooo emoooootional! Haha. Here's our chat the day after I gave him the Iron Man USB, he was about to cry! :)))
Here's my favorite part! Hindi ko kayang i-explain yung nararamdaman ko when it comes to having pictures together with Nemo's family. Feeling ko, I'm part of the family na talaga.
I hope, I was able to make Nemo happy and make his day extra special. In a month, we're going to celebrate our 5th year together, and I really can't wait at all for I have another surprise for "us"! Hahaha :) I love you Nemo! You're a God's gift that I will always treasure for a lifetime. I wish you more birthdays to come and also good health. I will always be here for you no matter what happens. I will always be your best friend, your partners-in-crime, your girlfriend, your bff, LAHAT NA! *chim* ♥♥♥

International Pump Fest 2013
I wasn't able to make it :(
It marks my 2nd time of losing. But what my lose inspires me about, is that - life's isn't always about winning. You need to accept failures for you to be able to understand how hard life is. So definitely, I know I haven't been serious in playing Pump It Up this past few weeks, so as expected, I have no way of winning at all. Practice makes perfect - pero wala akong practice - pag nanalo ako, isa na akong chambalera! :))
But then again, it was fun during the competition. I met new friends again - some were old ones, some were familiar faces. I can't help myself reminiscing my Pump It Up life way back four years ago.
Somehow, malungkot lang, kasi not all of my FZSL friends were there. My GF, Mean, that supposed to be my frenemy in every PIU competition and my boyf Nemo who has work on that day. :( It was really a downpour of sadness. I just want to thank Carl, Eric, Mhia & Stanley who came despite the heavy rains. And of course, I want to congratulate Nick, for being able to make it to the finals. He may not made it to IPF itself - at least, he got one step closer to the edge!
Anyhow...
I was able to spend time with our fellow FZerians from Gateway.
And met Hanah (which won the 1st place for female division) and Camille (on 4th place).
That's us for the Female Division, actually, we're 6 to compete - she went home early that's why we weren't able to know her better. Going back, I was in the 5th place and my friend from FZ Sta. Lucia - Lidy, got the 3rd! *yey!* Play To Unite I guess, we're all PROUD FZERIANS *sabog confetti*
Group shots!! Photo (c) Marius/Jefferson.
Check out who made their way to compete with the other countries!
Sooooo.... Here's one of my reasons why I joined - Freeeeebiees!!!
I felt like I didn't lose at all! This is going to be my 2nd Pump It Up Jersey! The other one was from last year's International Pump Fest 2012 wherein I was on 3rd place. So hoooooray for my freebies!
Thank you so much everyone and I'm really working on my best efforts being an assistant supporter. HUGE HUGS TO EVERYONE!
Congrats to Nick too! He had his first Pump It Up Cap for his consolation prize! *sabog confetti* 0 comments

Level Up Live At Its "FINEST"
I'm an avid Lu Live event goer for four consecutive years now. And as I have posted on Facebook, the 4th one was a package of disappointments and epic failures.
And this, was the WORSE LU LIVE I have ever attended in my four years of gaming experience. *sad*
Going back, what happened to LU Live this year? Is it because they were merged with E-games? Or, is it because they push the event on an earlier month since LU Live usually hold its event every November of the year? Or was it really my expectations that went too high?
I can really see the difference (most especially on my yearly post!) I can see all the excitement and fun I had during the last years. But this year, IF NOT BECAUSE of my friends [FZSL / Forever Zero Guild], July 6, 2013 will be the dullest day of my life. *Exaggeration to the highest level*
COMPARE! Here are my LU Live Blogs for the past years!
Level Up Live 2010 -- 1st time! Very Nostalgic.
Level Up Live 2011 -- With my brother :)
Level Up Live 2012 -- my fave among the three ♥
Going back...
FAIL GRAND CHASE DIGMAAN.
Me and my friends are Grand Chase Players. That's the online game we usually play together. I'm not a full-fledged gamer, but I'm addicted to specific games - one of them is Grand Chase. So technically, we attend Lu Live for the yearly Grand Chase tournament which they call "Digmaan". It is a much awaited live PVP - which eventually ended up re-scheduling the tournament on a later time due to technical difficulties. We players call it - "LAG". So those issues weren't solved on the spot for they have tried it several times on air. Hearing only Arme saying "The Holy Light Will Lead Us" repeatedly. Plus, additional rules came up like "no Ley summons" -- they were hoping the lag will stop. But it turns out, it didn't.
FAIL SIDE ACTIVITIES.
Are you guys really kidding me??? Check this out, the game we played under Grand Chase at the community area. Mechanics was to simply shoot the pencil inside a cup, with unlimited time. The one who shoot the pencil first, wins.
From this game, we got 3 pieces of Grand Chase power cards, which equivalent to an ordinary in-game prize. I can't stop telling myself that Level Up is trying to cost cut! My goodness.
What happened to the Grand Chase Roulette? The Poring race? The cute side games of Level Up where art thou?!
With Carl, Xylee and Mean. Trying to smile ♥ despite the disappointments.
FAIL IN-DOOR PRIZES.
And where the hell is my 50.00 php worth of LU Load dear?? I paid 50.00 php for my entrance fee, so where's my load now? This was the first time we attended LU LIVE without a load! Just like what Cloud The Playboy said -- "OMG! SCAMMER! HINDI BINIGAY ANG 50php LU LOAD KO!"
In addition to that, ONE IN-DOOR PRIZE FOR ONE GAME POLICY! WTF!!!! You Level Up has cost-cutting issues - aminin niyo na! My goodness gracious!
Because of that, no more Grand Chase stub hunt for us. :( Which we believe was one of the weirdest things we do inside WTC. haha - talking to strangers and asking for their Grand Chase stubs -- that was so exciting and fun. Plus, meeting new friends! Until, Level Up took that away from us. *sad*
ENOUGH OF THIS NEGATIVITY.
Tapos na eh, so hindi na mababalikan pa. Just to summarize -- PANGIT ANG LU LIVE THIS YEAR.
On the other side, I just enjoyed the night with my friends. My FZSL friends, My Guild Mates.
Tadaaah!!! WORLD WAR FZ! :))) Hahahaha... Those are aftershocks of an EARLY BIRD..!
They went to World Trade Center by 10pm of Friday for attendance, stayed overnight (I heard they went to KFC & MOA seaside), went back to WTC by 4am of Saturday for confirmation and then they went inside the hall by 9am. So there they are! All feeling tired, borlogs and bangag all the way! That's for an in-game pet prize :)
Here are some of our Level Up Loots :) *ang cute ng background*
That's what Nemo brought from the Sulit.ph booth. I guess that is from the anime Full Metal Alchemist (not sure haha)
Here's mine! hahaha.. Nemo gave me a cutiieee patootie Deviling plush & Mean gave me a Ley keychain too ♥
Couple pouch naman para maiba ♥ poring pouch I gave for Nemo poporing ♥
Cheers!! Dio mugs for Jepii & Jaz, Luxus for Mean and Ley for myself ♥
Our ONLY GROUP SHOTS! No more photo booths and no more free prints. :(
I really love this pic! ♥♥♥
And lastly, 10 shots dinner at MOA Food court. ♥
So there, I can't hardly say that we didn't enjoy LU Live. But just like what I've been emphasizing earlier, if not because of them, I might not enjoyed the rest of the day or I should have went back to Sta. Lucia and play Pump It Up instead. Thank you guys! You always give me a reason why I keep on loving FZSL. United we rock! ♥♥♥

SURPRISE!! A JAWBREAKER Spongebob-y 18th for Mariel! ♥
04.15.2013
Mariel's 18th Birthday ♥
Zark's Burgers
We came all the way from Cainta to Taft, (take note: after work!) just to surprise Mariel on her very special day, her sweet 18th ♥
Mariel is my one and only sister I had. I really consider her as my sister (because she's originally my cousin). She's older than me by blood. But I'm older than her by age. We've been together since her birth. And I love her since birth *mushy.. eeew*
Going baaaaaack :))
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!
This was how we trolled Mariel on her 18th birthday! SURPRISE!!!!!
as a surprise birthday attack sa dorm niya. While I was preparing everything at Zarks, Nemo was trying to bring Mariel to the site, with her eyes closed! She was blindfolded while crossing the streets of Taft Avenur going upstairs at Zarks. hahaha!
What was unforgettable was, it feels like a flash mob! Everyone inside the restaurant sang & clapped their hands with us! We don't even know each and everyone inside the restaurant!That's why everything went awesome and successful that we made her eyes a little teary. ♥
WATCH HOW IT HAPPENS at Zark's!
We ordered Zark's specialty! The JAWBREAKER ♥
Unlimited Drinks!
It was a JAWBREAKER 18th for my sister, a burger-y and Spongebob-y day as my sister gets a little bit older!! SURPRISE SURPRISE!!
I just want to thank ALL the people who witnessed and sang with us! We felt like her 18th was flashed mobbed! haha! Thanks guys! And thank you too to the staff of Zarks! ♥
Hope we really made you happy on your birthday! We love you so much, hindi lang halata! haha.. chims! 0 comments

Night Swimming ♥
Two consecutive Saturday nights of swimming at our Village Pool! Quality time with Nemo, I supposed. Until, we had company on our second week!
First Saturday Night!
We talked about our future, our goals and plans over the Jacuzzi. It was very relaxing.
Second Saturday Night!
Uncle Mike & Marvin joined us that night. We also saw my friend from Parish Youth Ministry (my church mates) Aia with her volleyball team. It was cool since Aia is in Poland right now. It was my last bonding night with her before she left Philippines. Bon Voyage!! ♥
We're looking forward for another night swimming together. Hopefully we could invite some of our friends too.

Alay Lakad 2013
It's our 4th year of Alay Lakad and again, we had successfully reached Antipolo Church together with our friends (which was their first Alay Lakad) - Mean, Nick and Marky. It was a simple way to let Him know, how much He means to us. God Bless everyone! 0 comments
