So I decided to do a monthly ongoing Blog of what is happening in my life here in the U.S. of A. And hopefully, I will be able to continue on with this for the rest of the year.
On the 1st day of the year, I was invited by my good friends Kris and Amy to celebrate with them on a birthday party up in L.A. at Universal City Walk. And for the 1st time I was able to experience Saddle Ranch which is the Western inspired Restaurant/Bar in front of Universal Studios. And of course I partied with P.S.B. friends.
Also this month, I was able to bless Bishop Ron, Pastora Carrie and their mom as I treat them passes to go to Disneyland. They were the ones who took care of us when we went up to Isabela last March when I went back home. I hope that next time my good friends, Brain, Fibi and Amazing are the ones that I would sign in to Disneyland. :D
Oh and one of the best things that happened to me this month is that finally I was able to experience one of the most popular resto here in the O.C., The Boiling Crab. Thanks to my ever makulit friend, Jessica for inviting us to go there. After waiting for almost 2 hours, we were able to eat inside and had 1lb of shrimp. Even though we waited for a very long time, the food was sumptuous and the price we paid was worth it. I cant wait to eat there again.
We were planning to watch MMFF's best picture, Tanging Ina but guess what? I have been sick for 3 weeks now and this past weekend was worst. Oh well, my January is still promising. I hope to feel better soon. Tomorrow, I am going to church and listen to Darlene Zschech's message at Newportchurch. I am really excited for that.
Oh also, this month, I started reading the One Year Bible that I bought from church and honestly, I have never enjoyed reading the Bible this much. And I am excited to continue on with this. Help me God.
Sadly though, this year, one of my good friends, Jeffrey Moffit told us, his D.U. friends that he is quitting Disneyland to go back to his hometown in San Francisco with his family. Of course some D.U. friends decided to say goodbye at Dave and Busters, the Block. I was sick but for a good friend, I came and saw him for one last time. Well I hope that wont be the last time Jeffrey. I will see you soon.
On a side note, I finally after 6 years, got a video of my performance for JSONGS at JCSGO. It was for our very 1st church album under JSONGS. I was 20 and I was rockin it. Not the best singer but I am sure gutsy. lol. Wanna see it? Here you go. Thanks to Joshua Fulgencio for sending me the link.
Oh and its kinda funny that I have never paid to enter Disneyland but I have paid to be an Annual Passholder for Universal Studios. And I just did it again last January 15. Of course with my P.S.B. friends.
And that night after Universal Studios, we decided to drive to Chinatown to experience one of the Best French Dipped Sandwich at Philippes the Original. It was so... old. So SM Foodcourt looking. But yah. It was a good place.
And at that place, guess what I found...
And I know its the real one coz... it has...
The 3 day weekend for Martin Luther King has been fun. Was recovering from my 3 weeks of being sick but I still had fun with my good friends. We ended it with my very 1st time to play POKER! Well I lost 10 bucks but I was really good at it. I was one of the last ones playing. Its a one man take all thing. Next time, I know I will win.
FYI. I didn't drink any booze. I am the only good boy with water.
And of course we relaunched the Gwapings... and I am.
And with the relaunch of my good friend...
And by the way, I am so sad that I am missed UST's 400th year anniversary. Seeing all the posts and pictures from everyone, I wished I continued with my original plan. Go home for UST! But here I am, in the US grieving.
I also helped 2 good friends, Anthony and Gina on their moving day last month. This month, they had a house warming party and of course D.U. friends came over and had a great night.
Speaking of D.U. this month we said goodbye to one of the best managers I have met at Disneyland. We will miss you Steve Eng. He is moving to Hawaii to be part of the Aulani team. He deserves the best and I am happy for him but of course, the whole team will miss him.
And even though I was sick the whole month, I was able to bond with my friends. Just like the house warming party.
Of course with PSB...
on David's 26th birthday.
Oh and here is a planned.fake surprise party for him. Wanna know why... here...
And that kind of ends my January. And I am so happy that after all the sickness, drama, friend bonding, me passing my virus to my other friends, now i feel way better.
Oh by the way, I am trying a new look. Its the beanie with glasses. Kinda look like this. But less oiliness and more eyes. Here..
Now that ends my Enero of this year. Cant believe that its already done. 11 more months to go for 2012. lol.
Im so excited for February because its gonna be a lot of adventure for me. I will of course share them with you.
P.S. Today January 31, I learned a valuable lesson but I am happy I was able to keep something I thought I will lose because of this one thing I got. So with that... I guess I am staying where I am.
Ciao!!!
