HAVAIANAS HEAVEN

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007
I was not going to miss it this time. Good thing it’s a holiday today (thank you, Emilio!), so I was able to slot the event in my agenda. Actually, I changed plans altogether, crashing out my errands. Talk about priorities. Hahaha!

So I texted Ali (still fresh from work) and Jay, quite early on a holiday morning, and soon we arrived in Havi heaven. Yipey!

The wait was a little long, which I didn’t expect since today was the first day. But my oh my, all those lovely colors. We oooh’d and aaah’d. Well, not really. But for a certified Havaianas addict like moi, I was definitely in one of my zen moments. Haha!

So there we were, choosing our own combinations. Jay with his halloween flip-flops and then some, and Ali with her brown and bronze combo. Then we lined up to have them assembled by really cute staff. I think I’ve found my calling - to be a flip-flop assembler, in the company of cuties!! :p

Pretty soon, assembler Carlo was almost done with pair #1.



Pair #2 is more kikay.


And I’m one happy camper ;)

GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN

Sunday, March 18th, 2007
Because it’s women’s month, and because it our birthday month (Arlene and myself), and because of absolutely-nothing-special-but-everyting-fabulous reasons, we had our first-ever big girl slumber party.

It started with a very late dinner/snack ensemble of baked spag (c/o Conti’s), some hotdogs, leftover Burgoo food (yummy fries! argh, and right after boxing myself out, too!), red wine and ever reliable soda ;-)

Then off we went for some serious prettying up c/o our budding make-up artist, Alina, with some girl talk on the side. Then came the photo shoots. Ali also served as the shoot director. We started with the casual shoot, then the sleepwear shoot.

We no longer had time for chick flicks, but it was a fun, fun, super fun night!!! I tell ya, girlfriends are the absolute best. Free therapy, free critique and what-not!

Here’s to more sexy times together! If not, may our friendships last beyond the walls of our office and the boundaries of the islands.

Cheers to all my sexy, great, female friends!! May life give us all that we deserve! :)

ROUND 1!

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007
Finally, I sent my butt off to the boxing gym. Waking up early on weekends is a chore, but I was there by 8AM. Woohoo. First small victory.

Then it was a series of small victories for the next 1.5hours. From the weird stretching procedures (damn, I gotta practice those hula stretches as Ali calls them!), to the shadow boxing (in-out, in-out, jab!), to the ring practices (man, I gotta work on my footwork, timing, jab/straight punches, well, basically, everything!!).


And how can I forget, gotta work on my fight face!! I almost always fell out of sync, I can’t help but laugh at myself. Hahaha!

Just give me a couple more sessions, trainor Aljon, and then, I’ll be able to make punches without laughing.

And I’ll look as good as Ali in the ring.

We look super flushed and happy here. We are. The day after, was a different story though. Man, I hurt all over. Still do.


But it’s absolutely worth it. I may not be the next Pacman, but at least I can put those funky pink gloves to good use ;-)
