Throwback: Friends through and through

Tifa: Eh? She's calling
Mau: Keep smiling you guys Mac's about to take the shot.
Cherry: She's really calling. Shall we answer?
Tifa: No! Don't
(Cherry went ahead and swiped the screen)
Cherry: O.o the lock isn't working
Me: What are gonna do? it's  not ringing anymore.
Mau: Just keep smiling and be natural. Oh he says ready! cheese!

I miss this. ♥

Who would have thought that what we thought was an eminent down pour of rain turns out to be a ray of sunshine?

Sunshine in both the physical sense and the abstract sense. How wonderful must that have felt. I, too, am glad that I have a ray of sunshine with me. A sunshine that still glows even the sky is somber. A sunshine that when you feel cold, you'll be enveloped with warmth inside and out.

Thats what my friends are to me, a ray of sunshine. Bright, alive and real.

I miss this.

I miss them.

Let's do some of these next time guys.

Mockingjay

It's the first day of December everyone!!!

What a good way to start the holidays other than by reading a good ole book. Oh, not just any book but The Hunger Games. I did mention that I was rereading them and did a synopsis to the last two in honor of the Mockingjay movie, didn't I?

Uhuh! Good memory you guys! so without further ado here's the last book of the best-selling series.

......

In the last and final installment of the The Hunger Games Trilogy.

Can we still say the odds are never in their favor?

We shall see...

Now, that there is no more District 12.

.......

Upon learning that there is no more District 12, Katniss struggles her life in District 13 as she struggles in this new place and holding herself knowing that Peeta is in the capitol being held captive  Through her act of defiance the whole districts of Panem had now fully rise to a rebellion. Feeling somewhat manipulated as the fire who started the uproar , Katniss reluctantly agreed to be the "Mockingjay" (the symbol of rebellion) with conditions. 

She wants Alma Coin, President of District 13, vows to grant immunity among all Hunger games Tribute including Peeta who had previously made a propo (propaganda) to have a cease fire which made the people in 13 angry and deemed him traitor and most but not the least, she gets to kill President Snow.

A rescue team was sent to the Capitol to rescue the captive tributes as President Coins word after witnessing Katniss upheld her own. What seems to be a heartfelt reunion between her and Peeta turns out to be one excruciating reunion. Peeta didn't think twice of attacking her and claiming to her to be a mutt.

Torn, hurt and humilated Katniss shunned Peeta to the point of avoiding him and treat him with hostility.

In this last installment a thrilling and action packed adventure awaits.

What will Katniss do now that President Snow is on the hunt to make sure she's dead.

What will President Coin do in order to get what she wants?

Will Katniss and Peeta grow back together?

Will she know who the real enemy is?

And this time for sure...Will the odds be in her favor?

Throwback: Tripping

Back when we still have black and long hair. *sighs
Eating at KFC after work. ;D

It's raining cats and dogs. The sky looks dark and ominous. The atmosphere is rather heavy. I bet most people would complain and feel down because of the weather. Still look on the bright side, at least the trees and plants can have much water as they can not just blazing sunlight.

Anywho, it's Thursday again and you know what that means right?

For this week, its all about "Tripping". Tripping for what? Well, Me and my friends really love to eat. We've been to many places already. It's like an adventure for us be it be Food chain hopping (is there such word?) or just spontaneously go somewhere we've never been before so long as its f.o.o.d. 

One of my friends who happens to like food is Tifa-chan. I guess it we eat almost once or twice a week in different fast food restaurants that can be found within our working vicinity.  Sure, it's not healthy to make a habit out of it, but, what can we do? Our tummy's were grumbling and that's the closest place we can go to. 

(excuses, excuses, I know. kekeke) 

It's not just all about the food you know, food is a major part of it I admit but more or less its the bond, the laughter and memories we share with each other that's why we sit down, relax and of course eat until we're full. Both our tummy's and our hearts. 

All for One and One for All: The Hardcore Team Building Part 1

All for One 

and 

One for All!

This is will be our motto for the day.

WE are HARDCORE!

It's been 3 weeks since the first ever team up of both A.M. and P.M.  Hardcore Callan shifts for their first ever team building (why am I excluding myself? Hah!). Planning this outing is not an easy matter, there are a lot things to consider from food budget down to transportation (whew!). Let us not forget the tons of inevitable circumstances that occurred. There even comes to a point that we almost didn't pursue our planned itinerary due to some well, shall I say  circumstances? (Let's not get into specifics, agreed?)

Nevertheless, a midst the up and downs. The bend and curves. The straight and swirls. We finally manage to see eye to eye and the long awaited team building has finally come into a reality. (three cheers!)

Throwback: The Originals

It's another Thursday morning! and you know what that means? Another throwback!

Time sure does flies so fast, doesn't it?

If you don't pay close enough attention, you wouldn't notice that it has been what? a week? a month? year since then? 

That sure does happen to me, stopping to think how long ago was it since then. Then I started browsing through my old photos and finding some good ole pics that brings back a lot of memories...good memories. That surely made me smile.

To Team Gahi's first eat out ever featuring "The Original" cast ;)

At Music One from left to right: Ms. Nice, Ms. Aj, Ms. Jelly, Ms. Ian, Ms. Lee,
Yours truly, Ms. Mayu and Ms. Jonah

Though others may have chosen a different path, they're still part of the team though not physically at least within.

Goofing around sounds way better ;D

Till we meet and get together again Missus!

Team Gahi then and now...rocks!

Catching Fire

Can't still get enough of the first book?

Why wait when you can grab a copy of the second book and start reading? In my case, I've already done it. No matter how many times I've read it. I still swoon and sigh every time I came across that part of the book. I'm not telling you what it is. It's for me to know and for you to find out. Fufufu.

If you're truly curious about what happens next, you better start reading. You already know that I tend to give some sneak peaks about almost every book that I've read. Hmmm...if it's not a sneak peak then a synopsis (Aren't those two words one and the same?) I'm going to continue to do so until the future.

So buckle up as I give you the book's much awaited synopsis of Catching Fire:

.....

The story opens after Katniss and Peeta won the 74th Hunger Games and became the District 12 victors. Deemed as the Star cross lovers of the capitol, both of them looked at each other's eyes as two people who were deeply in love with each other and cannot live without each other. In Peeta's part it's all real but for Katniss, everything is all but a show she needs to put up in front of the capitol, which the former soon realize with a heavy heart. Without facing the cameras, their relationship becomes awkward and soon enough have nothing much to talk about. 

In every games that had won, there's a "Victory Tour" for the victors to visit each districts fallen victors. Katniss, however, had her first visitor unexpectadly and it's none other than President Snow. His visit is to express how disappointed and angry he was with her for breaking the rules at the last Hunger Games (there must be only one victor in every game but due to Katniss's act with the berries defying the capitol to give them their victor, she and Peeta lived and became the first two victors of the same district) Not pleased with her, President Snow told Katniss that by doing so she incited a rebellion from other districts.

In order to defuse the "fire" that she created Katniss must convince Snow that she meant really no harm that she only did that to survive. A deal was struck between the two. Katniss is determined to do what she was told to save the people she love and cared for.

But what happens when it goes wrong?

What will she do now that the Quarter Quell is coming?

What would she if the 75th Hunger Games is also coming up?

Will her estranged relationship with Peeta mend and continue to act as Star crossed lovers?

and what's worse can Katniss diffuse the fire that was catching?

......

Read it and find out in Suzanne Collins second book of the best selling "The Hunger Games"

Throwback: When we met...

THEN:

Do you still remember this? ;)

This is my first throwback ever since the word "throwback" became so widely popular.  This picture was taken three years ago on July 29, 2011. The first cosplay event that I have attended together with my college best friend Rhea Mae Davis a.k.a choi. 

The mall was full packed, I even got lost for a bit, that's how crowded it was. But my best friend caught me by the arm (thank God for that) and pulled me out of harms away. Or so I thought. ;)
