Working Girls in Camarines Sur

So Joy and I just back from Camarines Sur from a week long stint working for the events organizer handling the Ad Congress.

For those who have no idea what the Ad Congress is, well, its an event where all the advertising people get together and mingle, network and share what's new in the business. This year's theme was "Change the Game," taken very literally with it being brought to the Camsur Watersports Complex (CWC).Joy and I went as laborers (haha), if you may call it that. It was back to the workforce for us, our first non-BL related gig. The work was not at all glamorous, but very rewarding in the end. We got to meet new people, and we got to enjoy the ad congress itself. Well, half of it, since we missed out on the talks which I was super disappointed about. We got to attend most of the parties anyway, which kinda made up for the stuff that we missed.

We also got to meet up with Kuya Larry, who was like everyone's friend in Naga. Seriously, everyone is either his old classmate, neighbor, workmate, etc. Hahaha. :) We even got to meet Naga City's Mayor Bongat when he brought us out to dinner.

One thing I wanted to do in CWC though was to wakeboard. I was psyching myself to finally do it on our spare time, but unfortunately, we didn't have enough time. :c It has been a frustration of mine; the last time I tried, well, the velcro knee straps wouldn't fit my thighs so I didn't go through with it. Oh well, there's always next time. :)

From Singapura with Love

I have this running joke with my friends that the only way they could get me to go with them on any trip was to kidnap me. Not that I don't like to travel because I really, really do, but my schedule is always very hectic that I can't find the heart to book myself a trip. So anyway, a month before I went into the Biggest Loser camp, my friends booked me a flight to Singapore with them.

Of course I sort of forgot about it, with all the hoopla I was in from June until October. One day I just woke up and remembered that I had a trip to Singapore soon. What made it worse was literally a couple of days before the trip, I was still in the hospital because of dengue. Stress.

Long story short, I was still able to go and had so much fun with friends!

Traveling is a whole new experience for me now. No more panting and complaining (at least not much) about the amount of walking that I have to do. Commuting is a lot easier, and climbing up stairs is now a piece of cake. Suffice it to say, I enjoyed the experience now of being able to immerse myself in the city more since I can do so many things better. Plus, shopping is more fun, now that I don't have to deal with rude sales people who insist that I don't know my size. Hahaha. Well, that's another story.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to my next trip. My BL friends and I are thinking of going to Boracay and/or Palawan sometime soon. Cross your fingers, let's all hope it pushes through!
