A most eventful week

The end of April marked a very eventful period in my life. No promotion, no salary increase, I did not get married--nothing of that sort. In fact, it started out just like any other week, with workload reaching max levels. By Tuesday, however, things changed for the better. I learned that my best friend in Singapore is finally going to be a daddy! After six years, they are going to be a complete family in about nine months.

The next day, I got to attend a press conference with Powerbooks gift card as giveaway! I already have P1,500-worth of gift cards and gift check to spend! I could buy more sudoku and crossword books for my alone time (which is often). I could also buy a decent pocket book. I wonder what to buy next (I am open for suggestions).

That night, we got to interview and shoot two famed TV personalities, my "look-alike" Piolo Pascual, and the dashing Dyesebel/Marimar, Marian Rivera. It was tiring, but it was all worth it. Man, Marian looked so ravishing in her white dress! If she were a viand, yum yum! My sister envied me because I got to see Marian in the flesh!

Incidentally, that same day, my best friend from Pampanga had a daughter! It wasn't until the next day though that I was able to visit them. And then the day after that. I just can't stop raving over this very cute and beautiful kid! And I think, more than the celebrities, this is the highlight of my week.

And then Saturday. I have always heard about the famed La Luz Resort in San Juan, Batangas. It wasn't until last Saturday that I actually saw what everyone was raving about. The view was breathtaking. It would have been perfect if my drinking buddies were there. Unfortunately, I got to sleep through our stay there because I was so exhausted from the week that was and I didn't really know anyone there. I did get to swim, though, and get stung by some pesky jellyfish! But overall, the resort was ok, and my getaway, relaxing. Last year, I wasn't able to really feel seawater because, believe it or not, I never got the chance to go to a beach. Yes, I was in one, but had to cut short my trip because of a wedding. Ergo, no swimming for me. I intend to hit the beach more this year, and this is the second of my beachscapades!
