All Grown Up :)

For those who don't know, I turned 18 last Monday :) feels great to finally be of legal age here in the Philippines! I'm excited to finally get myself a license--mom says I have to have one before the year ends ;p

Because it's still summertime, I was able to celebrate my birthday on a weekday. What better day to celebrate than on the day of my birth itself! I personally found it odd, having my debut party on a Monday night, but what the hey :D I even had "special guests" in my party! Little did I know that in the non-smoking area of the venue, Gibo Teodoro was holding a party as well. Because I am for Gibo, it was awesome to be having a party next door! My dad was even friends with some of his guests, mostly the band (Rivermaya). Unfortunately though, I wasn't able to have a photo taken with him and/or Edu Manzano, unlike some of my friends. :( I was too busy entertaining my own guests! But that's ok I guess. :D

Going back to my party!!!
I was actually surprised with the number of guests that arrived. I've never felt so loved in my entire life. HAHA. It was truly the best birthday I've had yet, thank you mom, dad, the rest of my family and friends! I believe turning 18 is special and it wouldn't have been any more special than my experience. :) although things did not really go according to plan and everything went on last minute, it was still a perfect night. :)

Here are some photos taken by my official photographers for the night, my aunt Medal and friend Mark.

K-pop Invasion

I am finally 18 today! :) today has been amazing so far, I can't wait for my party tonight! But let me focus on something else for this post... my birthday post would be next ;)

GROOVE NATION 2010: K-POP INVASION
GC recital 2010 was amaaaaaaaazing! DANCEHALL BEST CLASS EVER! I am proud to be part of the first ever Dancehall class in the country! :)

I had such an amazing night last night, there's nothing more to say. Let the photos speak for themselves! ;p

A LOT MORE PHOTOS on my Facebook!

If we could party all night and sleep all day

and throw all of my problems away, my life would be easy. :)


Epic night last night. It was my first time in Encore and I had an awesome time with amazing friends :) after "curfew" we headed to Icon and got caught by some cops on the way (this. was. epic.) but they let us go anyway after awhile--don't worry, it wasn't anything serious like DUI or something we could get arrested for. Stayed in Icon til sunrise, although we didn't do much there. Encore was so much better. ♥

Easily the most epic and good vibes night of my summer so far. :)

Goodbye Papa

Goodbye is very hard to say, especially if you have to hear the story that leads to it over and over.

Even if it hurts my heart to say it, but i know you are in a better place. Goodbye Papa, we will miss you.

I am quoting my cousin Bea above because I don't know how else to say it. Papa, I love you very much and I will definitely miss you. Thank you for helping in raising me, thank you for everything.


Sanctuarium, where the funeral was held, was such a nice place.

She who kept everyone's mood up. :)

Despite being terribly sick (and I still am now, actually. High fever + intense stomach ache = not good.), I had to say goodbye to Papa properly.

Rest in peace, Papa. You're in a safe place now. :)
