Summer’s Over
Thanks to Hazel, Aneesah, Theresa, Psycho, Xtel, and Iruka for leaving comments in my guestbook. I really appreciate them. And I finally made an image gallery. Visit Memories. 
I took a break from working at our store on Thursday, April 7, 2005. Hunbun and I spent quality time together since he is going to start his OJT (on the job training) soon. We ate lunch at Italiannis in Green Hills. It’s a nice cozy place which also happened to be very expensive. *hehe* Good thing I had a Php500.00 gift certificate left over from last Rose Sale 2005. 
I loved the unlimited yummy bread dipped in black vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. *mmmm* We were interrupted though by hunbun’s cell phone. It was his superior in Software Ventures International (SVI) confirming his job. *yay* We shopped a bit afterwards and watched Hide and Seek. It came across somewhat like The Village - which I really really regret watching. But this psychological movie was better. Of course, it didn’t hurt that I’m a fan of Dakota Fanning.
April 9, 2005 was “Araw ng Kagitingan”. It is a national holiday commemorating the fall of Bataan in April 9, 1942, when Filipino and American troops reduced to near helplessness by hunger, disease, and numerous casualties, and under heavy aircraft and artillery shelling from the invading Japanese forces laid down their arms and surrendered, after months of defending their last stronghold. (Source: WOW Philippines ) Since it was a day off, I convinced my mom to go to PowerPlant. 
Hunbun and my aunt came along too. I bought a pair of very pretty black stilettos and a gorgeous white bag. 
We stopped by Milky Way for a snack. Surprising, they had very delicious barbeque spare ribs. We even took some home. *hehe* That night, I “spring cleaned” my closet. With the help of 3 maids and hunbun, I was able to part with the clothes (plus bags and accessories) that I rarely use. I had a hard time giving them up. 
Well, at least now I have more room for new clothes!
The following Sunday, we celebrated the first birthday of my cousin’s son Myles. One of my brothers then invited us to try out the new ACE hydro spa. I immediately called hunbun if he’d like to come since it’ll be more fun with him around. I’m glad he went with us because I enjoyed and loved the hydrospa experience. They offer a lot of amenities including the regular swimming pool and floating stream. They had various underwater hydro massages, each one focusing on a particular part of your body. It was really relaxing especially the hot herbal pools. Although I won’t ever go near the ice cold pool again. *eep* We were all extremely hungry afterwards since we stayed there for about 3 hours. They all had dinner but hunbun and I had to refrain from eating too much because we still had to go to a dinner party at Blue Bacon and Green Eggs for his brother’s birthday. After dinner, Hunbun and I lingered at the restaurant’s quaint little cafe. We ordered a tiny Haagen Daaz Belgian Chocolate ice cream and shared it. We went on a memory trip reminiscing the early days of our relationship. *awwww*
April 11, 2005 was grade distribution day and hunbun’s first day at work. I was extremely delighted with my 4.0 QPI. *showers everyone with confetti* For lunch, Marge, JV, Cla, James, J, and I ate at McDonalds. We’re scrimping obviously. Then, all of us (minus Marge) went to Shangri-La Plaza to watch Sahara. It was an okay movie - not one of my favorites. *hehe* Hunbun fetched me there at around 6pm. I surprised him with yummy Starbucks food.
The next day was summer class registration. 
The new procedure was extremely unsuccessful! I spent the entire day just waiting for my random number and being a proxy for hunbun. I had to go back on Wednesday to pay hunbun’s tuition fee since the cashier already closed at 4pm. *sigh* Thursday was the very first day of summer school. 
Goodbye rest and relaxation. Well, It went okay except the load revision part because I had to go from one building to another. *hehe* I changed my Introduction to Sociology and Anthropology section.

Ooh, I like the image gallery, very neat and organised!
Are you saying you have THREE maids? In your house or… do they come or what? You must be rich!
Teehee, anyway, it’s pretty nice to go and clean out old cupboards and stuff, I always find old clothes that I’ve only worn, maybe 2 times, and it’s already too small. It doesn’t help that I have no sisters to hand them down to!
Wheeeeee, congrats on the 4.0, though I’m not sure what QPI stands for. ^^;

She’s a tough cookie! Semestral QPI stands for your average grade at the end of a semester. Getting a 4 there means having an A for every single subject! (WOW!) Also, she’s taking Computer Science which is like one of the HARDEST subjects in our school. Way to go Gretch! Hehe!
(I’m bored at work…)

Yes, Dakota is definitely a great actress. I thought that this movie geared more towards Secret Window because of the outcome, but they all have their little twist and turns, don’t they?
I love those breads with the oil. My friends and I always eat them, and then by the time our actual food gets there, we’re all already full.
I always have the hardest time putting old clothes away that I rarely use. I somewhat convince myself that I’m gonna use it again one day. Everytime I have room in my closet after cleaning, it doesn’t take long to fill it up again. I guess I’m just obsessed with clothes, purses, and shoes. Typical girl, huh? LOL. Well, take care!
