Who Nestles Poell ?

For almost 5 years, It’s been a ‘ritual’ that I celebrate my birthday, together with my family and closest friends on my dad’s folks at Lucban, Quezon since its also the province’s prestigious Pahiyas Festival (in honor of the the patron saint San Isidro Labrador.)

Not until today that I’m celebrating it abroad - with my newfound Phnom Penh family (celebrating it along with the Country’s King Norodom Sihamoni,56). It feels good to have a second family like the one I have in the office. Even with all the language and culture gap, they have been very supportive, sweet, nice and very thoughtful! I got more presents than my director who celebrated her birthday month ago haha!

Anyway, Id just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone ON and OFF-line for all your well wishes and greetings. Bloggers, friendsters, yahoo messengers, twitters, etc… To my folks friends in Philippines, my dad, tita and my lola. My batch mates, project partners jeff and ramsey, My partner-for-life joyce and aaron for being with me 24hrs. To my mom and my sister who traveled all the way from Phils., to my brother, my sister inlaw-kuno nina, to my cousin ate manel and partner mheanne, almost-brother jojo, bigboy, jean and and almost-sister franco and romyr, to roma and family, to mel and family who didnt made it to the ‘party’, to Mr. G for that very touching toast, to olive for that cute lil e-card, to my Khmer brothers and sisters — Kharen, Sorya, Deth, Phally, Vicheka, Udom and Chamraeun. To all the tuktuks that drives us safe. To everyone i forgot, that doesn’t mean you’re not in the heart

You’ll all be a big part of me and i will always live with it until the day i grow old.

Thank You and God Bless you all!

(oh yes, pictures to follow)

It’s our 8th month today

Love u jivy!

xoxo

Haha… another memorable remark from joyce! yeah, for real. she uttered that line while we were having a lunch break rest today. It’s actually an answer to my question “what if somebody, a millionaire with a jaguar goes (back) to you”

oh and also, id like to greet my best friend/ninang ruma kristine “kikay” for passing her nurse licensure exam! we’re  so proud of you!

I officially received my very very very first Valentine rose. Yeah, t’was me who received a lovely long-stemmed rose from who else, JOYCE!

Sounds silly but yeah, i was out of my senses when i found the “sweetest thing” (for the day) at my desk. Who wouldn’t! It’s us whose suppose to give flowers and not the one whose suppose to receive them. If you ever had the feeling or being in the state of “panic”, well thats how i felt.

I would have given her a dozen-dozens of fresh 2-feet-long-stemmed roses like what ramsey use to do to his girlalets during those flowerfarm.com days, but i didn’t.

I immediately went out with Phally, one of our sales and marketing executive. We were suppose to buy chocolates but the shop is 20 mins. drive away, so i have to get something not that far. I ended up buying Joyce the town’s best cake from Hotel Cambodiana, 5 mins. drive away from the office (big tnx to veronica for the discount)

We had our date yesterday the 13th and not today.  Simply to avoid the Valentine rush. The towns’ gone wild and crowded like crazy!

It was “La Korea” where we ate at. A memorable samgyupsal joyce ei?

Unlike last year - where we were just friends… we were out strolling in mall of asia unconsciously dating each other where we watched a movie, had food trips, and yes, we were walking on a red carpet last year — while playing around with the other couples on a candle light dinner at the esplanade. (T’was the best Valentine day to date)

Spread love everyone, Happy Valentines day =) Love u Jivy, Love you baby, Love you all!

again, another month that marks another 9 on my bizarre love-venture. And its the 41st this time.

Greets to the most beautiful corpsman I have in my life. Love you now! And I always will - against all odds!

and with my blogging break, sorry to disappoint my audience but I’ve just been very troubleshooting MYSELF. Lol. I’m trying my best to get back my self on track. Just hold on and hang on everyone!

I miss you all!
