February 2019 was too unexpected. It hasn’t sink in to me yet, but need to accept that in a few weeks from now, Mom will be migrating to the US. Things happen so fast that I was caught off guard, and now I would need to file as well an application to get a US Visa, asap! This month has been dedicated to that and planning ahead of time, balancing work and other work and family affairs.
Day 01 – I was back at Svelt’i for my weekly skin regimen. Then I went straight to Makati for some errands. Watched Jollibee’s newest “Kwentong Jollibee Campaign” and went out with Drawing Buddies in Makati and ended my day at 4 in the morning.
With Keilah, Elle, Jaybee and Lharby.
Day 03 – Mom decided she wanted to do some shopping, I’m with her on that. So I joined her in SM Marulas.
Day 04 – It was my parents Medical Examination schedule at St Lukes, Ermita. We went on our way as early as 5am just be at the location before 6am. And oh, It was so difficult to find a parking in that area.
Day 07 – Had a meeting with my ASUS family. There is some great news coming ahead! Also, I decided to start processing my papers for my US VISA application. My housemate Jerricho also tag me along to watch the movie “Alita” – It was so good! It’s Giob’s birthday as well today, happy birthday! (READ: THE BEAUTIFUL ASUS BURGUNDY RED)
Day 08 – I didn’t realize that filling up papers online for US Visa will take me almost half of the day. It was damn long! Anyhow, good thing i’ve finished this today, a few more steps before the final interview happens. In the evening, I decided to watch PETA’s Charot that talks about a very relevant topic on federalism and charter change and on how we are going to be affected by this big change (if ever this happens). I love how PETA have able to combine art and politics and make it more interesting and understandable to the masses. I highly recommend for you to watch this play.
Must watched – PETA’s Charot!
Day 09 – Too lazy I missed another Tao Tribe’s training in BGC. Better I guess to do some Church duties in the afternoon till evening instead.
Day 10 – Went home to celebrate Talaw’s 7th birthday. I gave him a toy car.
Day 11 – After work, I decided to schedule a massage in Quezon Ave, tagging along my bro, Jerricho who also treated me dinner! Yay!
Day 12 – It was a long day today. I started with a meeting with Asus people (and did some photoshoot). Went to the other building for another meeting. They fly my way to Makati to attend Vision Express event as they showcases some of their prime items sold at the store. I was also able to give my birthday present to my friend Ruth (She loves it!). Then went to Makati for a meeting and decided to catch up with my Japanese friend Akioh.
Day 14 – Joined my drawing buddies for an overnight stay in B Hotel in Timog Avenue. We had so many foods coming from both our pockets and our host hotel. And as the usual, while they drink up over night, I on the other hand is enjoying the bed as I sleep. Unfortunately, they were too noisy that I wasn’t really able to take rest, so I decided to sneak out and went home at around 5 in the morning.
Day 16 – Teleperformance make us experience their unique way of hiring new employees through a very challenging Breakout Game! New applicants can win huge amount of prizes if ever they would be able to pull off and solve the escape room.
Day 17 – Joined a group of travel bloggers to Club Punta Fuego in Nasugbo Batangas. We stayed there for almost three days. (Read: Club Punta Fuego review)
Day 20 – Work mode as I start my day with a meeting with my team. Afterwards, I went to Mossimo in G4 for a pullout and had dinner with my friend Eian at Watami in Makati.
Day 21 – Attended the launch of Common Grounds in Ortigas
Day 22 – I receive a good news that would bring me back to the land of milk teas! Yass!
Day 23 – Joining my friends Laiza and Sheng, we drive our way to Apalit Pampanga to attend our weekly thanksgiving. I was a bit worried for it was too hot on that day and my car over heated after driving for more than an hour. Good thing we were able to make it on time!
Day 24 – Its the first ever Celebration of the Feast of God!
Day 25 – Woke up early to join mom as she went to the US Embassy for her Immigrant Visa. We were actually early but a bit late to our call time (weird right?). In the email we were told to be there at 7:40, we arrived at 7am but they are already calling the 8:30 schedule (What!!!). Anyway, it took here almost three hours and when I finally met mom at Starbucks in Bayview. She hug me with joy telling me that her visa were approved! Now it’s my turn on March while Dad would probably on April.
Day 26 – Attended this years Wishcovery 2 Finals Night, and wow each of the finalist are really good!
DAY 27 – Officially sick. But still need to work and finish all backlogs. Today, I was with brothers Echo and Omboy who joined me for dinner at Denny’s in Trinoma.
