Tagaka Anyone?

I have a yahoo photo album from an old address that hasn't been opened for quite awhile. I opened it and there i saw these photos that brings back fun memories with my officemates.

We work half day on saturdays so we go out and hang out in a place at night or until whenever. We had a blast everytime we go out.

There was Sam, Beth and I from the Main while there was Roy, Jenny, Clarissa, Raynan and Roy from the Annex. Sometimes Elmer will hang out with us and so with Ate Vangie.

...and Alex (Raynan's classmate) joined our fun and Danny, Jenny's hubby.

The gang agreed to go out for overnight stay at one of the Talomo Beache. Even the pictures can tell we had so much fun that night and I am missing it.

This is Beth. Sya pinaka kalog sa group, talagang ma-chikka!



...and here we are laughing out loud while playing cards, truth or dare?
kita ipin naming lahat noh? lingawa jud oi!


...ops, all eyes and ears to me. i don't know what i was trying to say here, basta!


Posing pa kami dito pero look at Jenny...kumakain na!



...roy, the thorn among the roses!



...no matter what, there is always a thorn among the roses - raynan with the girls!


...clarissa's Tagaka! Tanduay-gatas-kape!
iba ang may pinagsamahan....TAGAKA!


I don't even remember where Clarissa got her Tagaka recipe, basta she was very proud of her drinks. I remember pa nga she went too far to get some ice para lang we can drink it.

..hmm..the luvi-duvey couple - jen and danny


...we had a blast! until the dawn gising kami. after the drinking session, eating ang playing cards, we hop into the beach, maski bawal maligo kung high tide, hala cge langoy pa!

Roy, Raynan, Beth and I, Clarissa, Jenny and Danny her better half.

...there used to be ate jo with us..she is very nice, i can talk to her nonstop. she has a lot of things to say, very opionated person. she is well loved by the HS students and teachers. i have spent most of my after work hours with her at the gym and at JS foodcourt, talking about stuff. then one day, her and beth had misunderstandings, and then soon the both of us. although, before i left UIC we already had sort of cold off the miscommunications. we talked but not the same it used to be. maybe one day, i will see her or maybe talk to her...i missed her company. she will always be my Ate Jo.


So where else we go out on weekends?

*Jack's Ridge is one place we used to hang out. That place is very romantic especially at night, you can see the scenery overlooking Davao and its city lights! **just ignor the davao memorial next to it :-D

*how about the few times, we gimik at The Venue, Matina Town Square, The Summit Bar of Royal Mandaya Hotel (ops, i remember one time Beth go into this Beer drinking contest and she got second price, wheew! toma girl!), we also went to several Karaoke Bars, there used to be The Zirkle at Victoria Plaza, OMG! that was long, long time ago.

* as for movies, the one in Victoria Plaza, Gaisano Mall and JSGaisano (now Gaisano Citimall), and SM Theatre.

*eating time! how about our favorite Davao Dencias Restaurant, Merco Davao, Mercorner, the Shakey's Pizza, Pizza Hut, Cecil's Snack Inn, and those turo-turo restaurant at Ecoland (gosh, i missed kinilaw, sinugbang panga, pina asim na pasayan), Goldies,

Many things have changed. Roy got married with Cel and is now working for SPC. I got married and relocated to be with my hubby. Clarissa also got married and moved to Tagum to be with her hubby and for a new job. Elmer also is now in Tagum.

Ate Vangie still with UIC but working for grade school campus. She also got married to a nice guy named Chris. Sam is currently Raynan's "bestfriend". I am so glad Sam and Beth got their own house at Elenita Heights.

Those were the days as we usually say but the memories still linger in my mind. As I looked at the photos, I can't help but smile. These people are great, they are nice. They are friends worth keeping for. I may have made new friends but I am keeping the old ones, for some are silver and the other is gold.

hi elise! nope, our trip got cancelled 'cos Chip's cousin who is celebrating her anniversary had a mild stroke before the event. therefore, they are rescheduling it so hintayin na lang namin yon. hopefully we can still make it by then. =)

as for my INS appointment, it went well. they stamped my passport and had my greencard extended for another year. i wanted to blog all these happenings lately but I just don't have the drive to do so at the moment. speaking of katamaran eh! LOL!

Happy Valentine's Day to you both! take care and big kisses to Star! =)
