Get Togethers
Yay! I finally got around to making a theme for Cherubelle. It’s entitled Transcendentals and you can learn more about it here. And the content pages are 85% done. 
And feel free to contact me if something is amiss.
As usual, I’ve been really busy with life. *heh* Last July 17, 2005, hunbun and his future-sister-in-law Greer had an early birthday celebration at Gulliver’s of San Francisco, Great Eastern Hotel. The restaurant had a really fine and romantic atmosphere. Too bad I’m not a fan of their food. Of course, hunbun officially turned 21 last July 19. 
I made him a little graphic but he chose his own birthday gift. The two of us had a mini-celebration during lunch at The Old Spaghetti House in Libis. That night, my family treated hunbun to an impromptu birthday dinner at Kaya, Podium. Yum!
July 23, 2005 was Kaingin’s “Big Day”. Hunbun and I were almost late yet again since the call time was really early. Dianne rode with us in hunbun’s car (with driver) to Big Tom’s Resort, Rizal. The Kaingin EB really prepared for this and had a lot of planned activities. Still the most memorable one for me was the “killer” card game. I’m really not cut out to be a detective (ace) but I was a decent healer (queen). But during one point of the game, I healed hunbun but it turned out he was a killer and he killed my character. 
Bad hunbun! *lol* We went home around 5pm and some people hiched a ride to Ateneo. Afterwards, we changed clothes and headed directly to JV’s house for his birthday celebration. Good thing we made it but we missed the yummy food. The cake was incredibly yummy though! And I had a near-death experience at their attic. I was climbing the extremely steep stairs in stilettos holding a glass bowl of chips - then, I slipped. I was hanging on the doorknob to the attic for dear life! Thank God hunbun was there to keep me steady. *sigh of relief*
That wednesday, July 27, 2005, was an incredibly busy day for my organizations. First, I attended CompSAt’s EB meeting, then held Celadon’s major food sale GA, and dropped in to Kaingin’s make-up GA (which we really did not need to attend).
On Friday, July 29, 2005, we had a 6pm-8pm long test for CS101. Eep! 
Anyways, Lori, Kris, Gen, Steph, hunbun and I had a late dinner at Bento Box. We went there squeezed into hunbun’s 4-seater car. *hehe* The conversation was nice and it was a lot of fun but I was really tired that night.
The next day, I went to see my dentist and received good news! I will be having my braces removed in 3 weeks! 
Then, hunbun and I had lunch/snack in Quezon City Sports Club. I just can’t resist De Lai Shun’s fried squid with salt and pepper. *yum* Hunbun’s mom accompanied us to Podium supposedly to buy hunbun another pair of shoes. Well, coincidentally Just G was having a sale, so I bought 2 mini tees worth only Php200.00 each! 
I ate at hunbun’s house for dinner. Their barbeque viand was really delicious! And I got a lot of little keychain accessories from hunbun’s mom. She also gave me a shirt from Esprit but it’s too big for me. *aww*
On July 31, 2005, which was a Sunday, Steph and I were required to go to a field trip for our history class. Dianne and hunbun tagged along. I took some pictures but the trip itself was so blah. Probably the worse field trip ever! *lol* When we returned to Ateneo, I indulged myself to an order of fettuccini from Italiannis. 
Afterwards, I slept soundly for 18 hours straight!
I finished reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince from an e-book. I loved it, especially the couples who ended up with each other. Although I really wish there was a happier ending. I cried when he died. It was such a betrayal and such a shame. I hope Book 7 will be incredibly long so that all our questions would be answered.

Wow, the big 21st birthday! Good that you guys celebrated it up in style with everyone :).
Yay for getting your braces off! That’s definitely good news :) Cute pics from the trip btw.
Oh I know what you mean about the latest Harry Potter! You do feel kinda betrayed by it all. Well, 1 more book to go.. let’s see how this ends…

Lovely new theme! I especially love how the two different colours match so nicely together. Usually, green and pink don’t really match but in your case, it looks pretty good together.
Congrats on getting your braces removed soon! I’ve been wearing mine for the past 6 years and still going strong.

Ang neat tignan talaga nitong theme na ito
and honestly, I looked at the dictionary to know what “Transcendentals” mean. New word kasi para sa akin.
Hmm.. iniimagine ko yung nangyari sa iyo sa attic. Sabay naalala ko yung girl na nadulas sa may hagdan ng school namin, buti nalang nahawakan siya ng friends niya kundi tuloy tuloy siya sa baba.
Buti nalang maalis na yung braces mo and you can eat lots of chichirya na. Yung kakilala ko kasi ayaw kumain ng popcorn, baka raw kasi kumapit sa braces niya.

Yay for your braces being REMOVED. I had braces too when I was 13 or 14 and I hated it - luckily, I didn’t have to wear them longer than 6 months or so.
And good work you did on this new theme! I like the color combination, rosé and light green :)

uy!!! nice job with the them and all!!
and congrats for having your braces taken out in a few days. nakakaexcite ba?
feeling ko HP7 will be extremely long and action-packed!! parang cliff-hanger nga ang ginawa sa 6 eh. And feeling ko may twist about sa death niya.
