Christmas 2010, New Year 2011

for someone who pulled off that miraculous thesis submission last jan 4, i sure had an AMAZING holiday break.

(thanks to my cadd alter ego, Meryl... and my ever reliable mare, Sarah... plus co-team ait Dorots, and Ron... and of course, Mark. ;p)

i haven't posted anything in a long while. and don't expect me to post something worthy, at least not until i'm making real progress from thesis. =)

Some photo memories from my pseudo-holiday 'break'.

  • THE C-13 Cavite Getaway! 

(L-R): Mary Joyce, Frances Leana, Maria Emma, Ruth Anne

 (L-R): R.A., Joycie, Lea, Emma

We had a blast 'bonding' over R.A.'s 'pasalubong'.
for the juicy details of this 'random' get-together, and photos of the morning-after..
hmmm.. it's worthy of a separate post. ;p 

  •  Tron Legacy at IMAX - MOA.
me with darwin.
yeah, we should have taken more pictures together. =)

a 'documentation' as proof that i had a chance to meet with one of my closest buddies before i went home for the break. =)

  • Christmas. 
while waiting for the midnight mass to start.


After the midnight mass, and before opening our gifts. =)
(L-R): Frances Leana, France Lizette, Franz Lesly

And, 
I officially started my 'thesis work' on Christmas day. 

...here's how i occupied our living room's space:

  • Baby Avienne's Baptism.

Too bad I wasn't able to attend my other bestfriend's baptism last Jan 9. (Sorry Icha. =/)
This picture's from my bestfriend Mark's.
I am the only one from the triumvate without a kid. haha. ;p

  • Lizette as my 'personal assistant'.
our bunso was a VERY efficient 'bantay' for my thesis.
she made sure i wasn't getting a lot sleep. lol.

  • CCV get-together.

our attempt for a class get-together.

Standing: Richard and Me.
Sitting: Meloy and April.


L-R: Raineir, Richard, April, Emman, Me, Meloy



  •  The 'last' minutes of 2010 was, of course, spent over THESIS.


I was just uber lucky to have such a supportive family.
New Year Feast with Tatay, Lizette, Lesly and Tita Lalaine.
