the day has come!

much as i wanted to write about this day for so long – and i so wanted to from that fateful evening 370+ days ago – but the months turned into weeks, the weeks into days, and the days now into mere hours…

but what’s blogging compared to what’s to come anyway…

this is it! wish us luck!

K2009-0004: caves, falls and rice terraces

kyashi — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 14:54:48 +0000

Define: spelunking (Thanks wikipedia!!!:) … )

Caving — also known as spelunking, when referring to amateurs without the proper knowledge, or training — is the recreational sport of exploring caves

You’re right! I have been quite a traveller for the past year. I was just not able to post the pictures here. One thing I did was to go spelunking in Sagada (the coldest place in the Philippines because of its high altitude most probably). I guess with all these wedding preps, I began to think that with a change of life/path, I should have something to look back to when I grew older and when I have kids, I would like them to see where I’ve been and how great the world is that it should be really taken care of

Spelunking

steep and steeper

water, water and lots of flowing water

hanging coffins

Falls

falls and wind, strong wind

rice terraces

too bad it's not harvesting season, if it was, it would be greener

K2009-0003: 7, 107 islands

kyashi — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 14:19:31 +0000

Well, it’s been more than a year since we visited Palawan. But I just can’t help but think how beautiful it is there 7,107 islands of the Philippines, and this is definitely one of the most beautiful islands I am really proud of how beautiful and enchanting the beaches we have here in the Philippines that’s why I’m sharing some of the pics we had there

K2009-0002: TV series addict

kyashi — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 13:59:05 +0000

For the past few months after the wedding proposal, Jason and I have been busy with wedding preparations. Because all major things have been setup and reserved, I guess we have enough reasons to slack a little…hihi…

Well, over the past few days, I have been a slave of my Eeepc 1000h laptop and the following TV series. I just can’t get enough of them. Some of them, I’ve watched, 3 times or more. I even began to memorize their scripts. Hahaha…Well, most of them I’ve watched over the weekend. Sometimes, I amaze myself that I was able to finish one season in a day…If there would be a job like a reviewer of TV series or movie, I’d definitely apply for that…haha…Here they are.

1) House (Season 5) - # of times watched: 2 times..hihi..I wonder what would happen to Dr. House :,(

2) Big Bang Theory (Seasons 1 & 2) – # of times watched: 3 times, okay okay! 4 times. ahaha, I just loooovvvvveee Sheldon!

3) Leverage(Season 1) – # of times watched: 2 times, I like Parker and Elliot.

4) Fringe (Season 1) – # of times watched: 1 time, but this does not mean that I’ll not be watching it again..maybe after a week

5) Worst Week (Season 1) – # of times watched: 1 time, his wife there looks like Jorja Fox of CSI

6) You’re under Arrest Live Action (This one’s Japanese) – # of times watched: 1 time

Next to watch: True Blood, Prison Break, and Dexter.

Heeewwwww…

K2009-0001: the proposal

kyashi — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 06:39:51 +0000

Hi, I’m Katherine de Guzman, 25 years old. As I am writing this, I am listening to a song. To my favorite song… a song from the movie that captured my heart, My Sassy Girl, which I’ve watched countless times. I never imagined that this song would also be the one that I am going to hear when I get to answer the one question that almost all girls are waiting for to hear. I am not really used to writing but right now? I feel like doing it. It gets me into thinking, what would life be after this? Would I be leaving my bachelorette life behind? Will my priorities change? Will life be easier or harder? Too many questions pop in my mind right now. And it seems like some, I can think of the answers, but some… I can’t think of any definite and right answer. Answers, which I think should leave for myself as you also have your own opinion on that. I want to describe that that special instance of my life. For once, I felt like the world stopped, my lips were sealed and I can’t say anything. For 2-3 seconds, I am not sure if he’s asking me or that I was just daydreaming that he was asking me. When I get back on my mind, the ring was already there and when I spoke, the first words that came out of my mouth was definitely not “yes” and the worst thing is I can’t remember it. But that time, I sure want to kiss and hug him. I am not sure how things are going to be after this. I still have plenty of work to do and I think the next time that we’ll be discussing this is after this week, when all our other commitments are finished. As of this writing, no one knows that I am engaged to my long-time boyfriend. By the time that I post this, everyone will know that my parent’s only daughter, my friends so called no-plan-in-life girl, my high school-friends’ so called “kaladkarin” (term for a person who always travel), my officemate’s so called “Pare” (Bro) and my relatives’ so called “Ate” (elder sister) will be walking down the aisle, will exchange vows with someone who she wants to spend the rest of her life with and in a year’s time, will take the name, Katherine de Guzman-Saba

J0028 christmas goodies

jasonkidd — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 06:00:20 +0000

as it goes every year, december 10 ends with us receiving our company bonuses, not only limited to the moolah (and gift checks!), but some other holiday items as well. the haul for this year is not really bad – 2 kilos of christmas (?) sausages (down from 5 kilos last year), imported goodies (canned stuff), body/laptop bag (without the laptop), company tumbler, and another sack-like bag emblazoned with the company logo, with nylon cords to close it (knapsack? shoe bag?).

my problem now is what to do with them: i’ve bought a bodybag this year (of the same color), which looks to be much more serviceable than the company-issued one; i’m currently using a starbucks tumbler, with several other tumblers (seattle’s best, disney) gathering cobwebs at home. and as a souvenir for watching the blueman show, i got myself knapsack/shoe bag, just barely 3 months ago!

not that i’m complaining, i know there are people who don’t get bonuses and stuff, so i’m extremely thankful for that, i just find it (worth blogging?) exasperating that i might not be able to put these goodies into good use after all.

at least there’s always next year. if only christmas bonus are given every month…

J0027 starbucks addict

jasonkidd — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 05:15:31 +0000

while waiting for our flight home from hk 2 days ago (obviously this is already different vacation from post J0026, i just didn’t have the time, nor drive to write this past few weeks), i found this chinese (hong kongesian? hehe) woman holding a tall, red starbucks coffee, which naturally had me looking around for the coffeeshop at the airport. leaving kyashi to tend to the birthday greetings she received (yey for free airport wifi!), i went around and around, up and down the vicinity, only to return to the lounge empty-handed.

as we left for our gate, i thought, there probably is a starbucks coffee shop near the gate, given how filipinos love to drink coffee (of course, part of my assumption was that, most if not all cebu pacific flights are routed through that gate). true enough, a few stores from gate 49 stood the stall! got my fix, got to spend hk coins that burdens my wallet, too bad they don’t have a sticker promo else i might have already been an owner of a chinese planner! :p

———————

a week ago i got my second random (nga ba) starbucks receipt giving a tall beverage free after i answer a survey from www.mystarbucksvisit-ph.com. given how much coffee i buy from them, i should have had more than 2 free drinks by now! nevertheless, a free drink is a free drink, so yey, hurrah for free starbucks drink!

———————

speaking of coffee count, this morning i’ve just received my second 2009 planner, meaning i’ve collected 32 stickers since the promo’s start around nov. 4 (actually 31 stickers, since the first sticker was free). given say, 5 of those stickers came from my “coffee-mates”, that’s 26 cups consumed by me. 26 cups in 23 days…

gimme more free drinks!

J0026 day one at las vegas

jasonkidd — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 15:00:45 +0000

we arrived at vegas on schedule, and ate joann fetched us at the airport. even from there, slot machines litter the place already! we took the shuutle to the polo towers (easily the smallest hotel in the vicinity), and tried to settled for the night.

joyce and i decided to still wander around that night to buy dinner, and we landed into this foodcourt where she bought subway and i ate wendys. no wonder americans are big, the somewhat regular burger i ordered was triple-layered. obviously, some of it went straight to the trash bin.

we decided to take some pictures already, so mgm grand, and the new york new york area were made backdrops that night. we then took the long route around mgm grand (unintenionally), and got back to our internet-less hotel.

our official first day was spent the same way non-gambling tourists do when visiting vegas, wandering around the vegas strip, taking snapshots after snapshots of the hotels. flamingo, caesar’s palace, harrahs, mirage, miracle mile, and others, we visited, inside and out. casinos are everywhere in the area that i could not identify one hotel from the next! we tried to visit all free shows available, unfortunately most of them are closed (the lion habitat at mgm grand is under maintenance, start trek experience has ended since september 1, stratosphere rides were closed due to rains). we also went to the freemonte experience (yes, that’s the street name), and saw the old vegas neon shows.
we ate fatburger for breakfast, mcdo for lunch, and i had panda express for dinner. i got a taste of starbucks mocha frappucino vegas style. we got to ride the monorail and the bus. we were out of the hotel hours before lunch and got back past midnight.

pics will be uploaded at the multiply site when i get the time. although i’m not in most of the pictures, ending up being the official photographer.
