the weekend that was.

Congratulations Ces and Emer. ^_^
I spent Saturday at my cousin's wedding. Well, actually, I only attended the reception. Hehe. It's the same as all receptions… there's the messages for the couple part, cutting of the cake, freeing of the birdies (that didn't sound right), throwing of the bride's bouquet of lovely flowers, drinking of wine, picture taking blah blah blah. The food was yummy and the place was all good despite the fact that it had no AC (open space… romantic but HOT, literally). Anyway, what got me thinking was the fact that our family is Catholic and our newest in-laws are Iglesia. I didn't know that that's ok? Or maybe ate Ces is now an INC convert and I'm still the same old oblivious yet beautiful cousin. Teeh.
So yeah, congratulations to my cousin and her hubby!

Sunday madness. O_o
I slept at about 5 in the morning and woke up at 10 because we had to go to the cemetery to pay respect to my lolo and lola (father side). My parents and I left the house an hour after waking up. Anyway, we were with Lolo Rod, my sister Yvette and her family. The flowers brought by my uncles (and their respective families) were still there. Such beauty. We stayed there until about 1:30, then we had a joyride somewhere south and ended up at Chowking in Pilar to have merienda. The place is a few minutes away from my sister's house. Since I seldom go to the south (hehe, I'm from Quezon City… go figure), I SMSed Diane (my BFF who lives in BFRV) and told her where I was. She called up and asked if she could pick me up, I said yes. Then I asked my parents if I could spend the night at Diane's house, and they gave their permish. So yeeey, instant overnight!
Diane and Denver picked me up from Chowking. Apparently, Denver and Ivan (Diane's thesis mates and our berks as well) had already planned to do their thesis that same day at Diane's house and eventually sleep there. Yey, slumber parteeeey! Hahaha just kidding. We SMSed Jondy (who lives a few minutes from Diane's) and told him to come join us. At first, he wasn't sure if he'd be allowed to go. Next thing we know, he's already outside Diane's gate. Hahaha!
It's fun being with my berks again. Haven't really spent that much time with them eversince I got so involved with my thesis. The others have already graduated ahead of us, some are already working, some are still in school, and the rest (including me) are now professional bums. Hehehe. Anyway, Diane, Ivan and Denver took a break from doing their thesis and we went to Starbucks at about 11pm. Hay, the joys of being with friends. PRICELESS. We stayed there up until 1am (when they were already closing, HAHAHA).
Aside from Diane, all of us are self-proclaimed insomniacs. True enough, nobody slept until the wee hours of the morning except for Diane. What we did while we were up? YOUTUBE-d. Hahaha. We love youtube, and we watched whatever shows we could think of (from Crystal Maze to Takeshi's Castle to other random videos).
By 5am, to my surprise, my parents picked me up. Killjoys. Then again, it's a good thing since I didn't have any clothes to wear for the next day… nor did I have a toothbrush, deodorant or whatever with me. Nevertheless, I still love impromptu overnights… haha! Oh yeah, tita gave me a new toothbrush and made me wear Diane's shirt and pjs for sleeping. Hihi, thanks tita!
When I got home, I fixed myself up then went online. Diane was still up and so were the others. Take note, all of us sans Diane still haven't slept. HAHA. I wanted to try to reach 24-hours of no sleep, but I guess I was too tired because I got Zzzz's at 7:30 am. Darn, 2 and a half more hours and I would've been happy to announce that I was up for 24 hours. Oh well, maybe next time. HEHEHEHE.

So there. I'm done. It's 4:51 am… better go sleep.
I have tons of random stuff to post later. I hope I remember all of 'em when I wake up… heee. ^_^
Alabyutoooo!
