UPDATES!!!!! With PICTURES!!!

Almost a month has passed since I last updated my blog...*ducks to avoid the glares thrown his way*...and quite a LOT has happened since my last post. Here we go!

A Close Encounter with Cory

No, not in the ethereal sense. :)

I was on my way to see Gail during the day of Cory's funeral procession from The Manila Cathedral to Sucat, and since I take the SLEX heading to Makati, I grabbed my DSLR in the rare chance that I spot something nice enough to shoot. As I drove up SLEX heading to Makati, the people along SLEX kept getting thicker and thicker...so what the heck, I stopped a grabbed a few shots.

I then got stuck in traffic right be fore the Buendia/SLEX intersection coz Cory's funeral procession was near, so I decided to climb on a truck to get a better vantage...and whaddyaknow, she passed right next to the truck! That moment was awesome...right before she passed by, people were noisy, cheerful...a couple of moments before she passed by, people suddenly hushed up in a moment of silence...and as her truck came closer, everyone spontaneously cheered and chanted her name. Awesome, I tell you.

Ella and Paulo

No, they're not together...di sila talo. :P

Ella and Paulo have moved on to...er, greener pastures. Or "to pursue their passions." :P Ella is now working for a company that is uber top tier, while Paulo is now marketing director for a fashion company. We had official despedidas for them in the office, and since we're cliquish, we decided to extend the despedidas to an overnight in Tagaytay!

Dreams and promotions

For Gail, that is. :) She was just promoted and got all the benefits and perks that come with it...well, almost all the benefits and perks. :) Here's hoping the car swap happens! On top of that, she also got accepted to be a faculty member in DLSU-CSB to teach her passion...WINE! (woot) Congratulations honey, I'm so proud of you! You deserve every little bit of happiness that you're getting coz you worked so hard for it! (cozy)

Coron

Organized by the legendary Jillian Sze, a huge chunk of the MDO and our respective significant others went to Coron in Palawan for 4 days of fun! Tiring fun, but fun nonetheless. :) Swimming, snorkling, shipwrecks, hiking, twin lagoons, a safari...FUN!

Paulo also shot some photos of Gail and myself...beautiful!

Till the next update! Hopefully it won't take too long this time. :)
