So, I'm gonna do the following steps.

1. Thank and link the person who awarded u this award

The Chag pipz would like thank Eun Mi for giving us this award. Thanks much! Appreciated it very well.

2. Share 8 things about yourself

a. 12 talaga noon ang miyembro ng Tropang Chag. Kaya lang nabawasan ay dahil nawala ang iba sa sirkulasyon.

b. May real life love team na naganap noon sa amin: Joseph - Majoh, Roselyn - Michael, Charisse - Cacy, Art - Rochelle, and Jeanal - Ernest. Ang iba diyan, tapos na. Iyong iba naman, hindi pa nagaganap at mayroong pinagpipilitang maganap.

c. Dalawa sa miyembro ang walang ka-love team. Bakit kamo? They love singlehood: Kristine and Jamie ...at ang weird naman kung sila mismo ang magiging magka-love team.

d. Kapag nagkikita kita kami, may magseset ng oras nang 6PM. Mayroong dadating ng 8PM... at siya ang pinakamaaga.

e. 50% ng Chag pipz ay Nursing graduates. 40% ng Nursing Chag pipz ay nagtuloy sa pagnunurse. 60% naman ng Nursing Chag pipz ay nagtuloy sa ibang career.

f. Bumaliktad ang sitwasyon noong High school pa kami. Kung sino ang pinakamahirap noon, siya naman ang pinakamayaman ngayon, e.g. Michael, dating walang cellphone at nakikitext lang, ngayon siya na ang may pinakamaraming gadgets; Joseph, dati ring walang cellphone at nakikisingit lang sa piktyuran, ngayon parang brief na lang kung magpalit ng phone.

g. Lahat ng miyembro ng Chag pipz ay may Bachelor's degree - isang bagay na pinagpapasalamat namin dahil wala sa aming kahit sino ang hindi nakagraduate at nagtarantado sa buhay.

h. Lahat ng Chag pipz ay employed. Wala sa amin ang palapangin lang ng magulang.
3. Send it forward to 8 bloggers that you've recently discovered

I'm sharing it to: Halojin, Naj, Patricia, and Pinoy ako Pake Mo

Unfortunately, sila lang ang mga naaalala kong bago kong nadiskubre.

4. Contact those bloggers and tell them about the award

Done!.

Thanks again Eun Mi.

The first and hopefully more

Good morning Chag Blog and Happy First Anniversarry!

Whew! It's been a year since this blog has been created. Yun pa ang mga moments na hindi ko alam kung ano ang isusulat ko. Fortunately, I was able to establish the page kahit madalas na walang sense ang mga entries ko.

If I can remember, the first entry that I have posted in here was about Chag's people Xmas celebration. Kaya ngayong first year anniversarry na ng The Chag Blog, I'd like to again, feature the people behind the creation of this page.



The Chag Pipz (na hindi kumpleto): Kristine, Art, Majoh, Ernest, Rochelle, Jeanal and Cacy



Eto daw ang wacky shot na obviously namang nagpacute lang ang lahat.



Kagaya nang usapan last year, kanya kanyang dala ulit ng contribution. Lahat naman nagdala: Kay Art galing ang Roasted Chicken; Kay Majoh nanggaling ang Siomai; Si Rochelle ang nagdala ng Hotdogs; Kay Ernest naman ang Brownies (na hindi kita sa picture); Kay Kristine ang Lumpiang Shanghai and Fruit Salad; At si Jeanal naman ang nagdala ng sarili niya.



Special mention ang kay Cacy dahil sa kanya galing ang pinakaunique na contribution: Lechong Baboy... made in bread. Pero honestly, kanya yata ang pinakamasarap na dala. Sa tuwing tinitignan ko ito ay hindi ko maiwasang magutom.



Eto ang moment of truth. Kainan na!


Palibhasa may kumukuha ng snap-shot, laging prepared ang Chag Pipz para mag-peace sign at magpacute... kahit kumakain.



Gaya ng dati, tuloy ulit sa inuman pagkatapos ng kainan.



Present pa rin sa inuman ang tira tira sa mga kinain ng dinner. Dito makikita ang effort ni Jeanal na maglabas nang kanyang contribution: ang 4pcs na Butterfingers.



Like the usual, sari saring kwento na naman ang naging batuhan ng usapan habang nagiinuman. Nagumpisa sa panenermon kay Jeanal, papunta sa yayaan ng mga planong gimik sa March, ang isa isang updates sa bawat isa at ang pinakapoborito ng lahat, ang nakakapagpabagabag na kwento ni Art tungkol sa "Dalaw" sa bahay nila.

Pero all in all, it was a happy gathering kahit medyo kulang kami. Sabi nga ni Rochelle pagkatapos ng party, "Nakakamiss sila".

Sana tuloy tuloy na ang ganito. At sana next year kumpleto na kami.

Pero sigurado namang maraming pang mga gatherings ang susunod. Hopefully, matuloy ang planong paulit ulit na sinasabi ni Ernest, "5-6!". And looking forward to one of us proceeding to the next phase of life..

Panibagong challenge na naman for one of the Chag pipz.



We'd like to congratulate Cacy, in advance, for his upcoming baby and his upcoming wedding this year. We will definitely feature these events here. (Hindi ko lang talaga ma-gets kung bakit kailangang meron siyang chocolate sa ngipin.)

Growing up?

Definitely! Dati rati lang kaming magkakasamang nagkokopyahan sa classroom noon, ngayon, panibagong taon na naman. Tatanda na ulit kami at may mga panibagong challenges na naman.

And somehow, it's a happy thought that we kept intact all throughout the years. Medyo magkakalayo, medyo busy, pero OK lang. We try to find time for these events to happen. And hopefully, magtuloy tuloy na ganito kami. Na kahit mga 60 years old na kaming lahat, magtetext pa rin kami (kung uso pa ang texting) para magkita kita.

.
.
.

The event that started at 8PM ended at 5AM the next day. It ended as we hugged each other and bid goodbye for the day.

After that, all weare looking forward is to get to March. Na sana matuloy ang mga plano for summer.

And Rochelle was right, "Nakakamiss sila... nakakamiss sila agad."

Some 2010 last minutes

2011 na.

Bagong taon na. Start na naman ng panibagong adventure ang buhay ng isang tao sa panibagong taon. And its currently the Chag people's year, year of the Rabbit.

Pero bago ako magpatuloy sa panibagong taon na ito. Gusto ko lang munang magbalik tanaw sa iilang activities na ginawa ko bago magtapos ang taon. Kasama na dito ang mga dates namin ni Shyder, at ang iilang precious moments na naganap bagong dumating ang 2011.

Year-ender Payday date



Bago nagtapos ang taon, nakuha naming aliwin ang mga sarili namin sa Ayala Triangle Park. Mabuti na nga lang at naisipan ng mga awtoridad na gawing pasyalan ang Ayala Triangle Park dahil nababawi nito ang dati nitong imahe na tambayan ng mga Makati Kemberlu-ers.


We'de decided to eat at Chicken Bon Chon.


Shyder ordered theire famous dishes: Chicken


It was weird at some point: December 17, 2010 and we were given Number 17 for the food number.


I ordered 2pcs Chicken with rice and iced tea with an original flavoring. Shyder ordered Chicken meat with spicy flavoring plus a coke. Funny, when he was asked about the flavor of his chicken at sinagot niyang spicy, tinanong siya ulit nung waiter. "Sure kayo sir?".

And that was when he found out na spicy talaga kung spicy yung chicken. Halos masunog ang dila ni Shyder pero, sulit naman. Sabi ko nga "You get what you pay for." He agreed.


This is my Chicken. :)


And I can't help but take a picture of it.


Here's to end a payday date: Cup of Tiramisu Gelati from Fiorgelato

At hindi pa actually nagtatapos yun dun. We went to Glorietta to buy some DVD's. Shyder really loves these two so we really had to find it hardly at some record stores.


We watched it that night, after getting home from Ayala Triangle Park.

Next stop: Sizzlers in Greenhills Shopping Center. December 18, 2010



It wasn't really a date. Isa lang ito sa mga napagkatuwaan naming kainan dahil gutom na gutom kami and unfortunately, natapos na ang promotional sale ng Brother's Burger na ginanap nung December 17.

I ordered Chicken Barbeque, while Shyder ordered T-bone Steak.

It was a fun date, while shopping for gifts, losing patience on the volume of people in the mall, and the non-stop "Wala na bang bawas toh?".

.
.

December 23, Few nights before Christmas
I guess what made my holiday special too is that on the night of 23rd, last day sa office, Shyder gave me a gift.

Funny ang story, he told me that he had plans for that night. Inom daw with officemates. I told him I had plans too, but I actually went to the mall to buy him a gift.

I went to Greenhills Shopping center to buy some last minute gifts. Including his' at Spoofs LTD.


When I arrived home, he welcomed me with a pint of Coffee with hazelnut icecream from Selecta. Habang sabay kaming kumakain ng ice cream, he started saying:

"Sino kaya ang magreregalo sakin?"

Sabay banat ko naman, "Ako nga hindi na nageexpect eh."

He stood up, went to the cabinets and said, "Ah ganun." He took out a gift wrapped in blue paper and said, "Merry Christmas!"

I was surprised, though medyo nahulaan ko nang bibigyan nya ko ng gift. I was surprised to see a Paperbag by Shirts.ph.

Pinaka-ikinatuwa ko dun is gumawa talaga siya ng effort to go to Eastwood city para lang bumili ng shirt sa main branch. He had to do a lot of efforts to lie to me and said na may gimik sila ng officemates niya, yun pala, he planned everything to buy me a gift. Including the lies...

And thing is, I loved it.


He bought me a purple shirt from Shirts.Ph with a Koala saying "Pahug!", while I bought him "Resident Epal" from The T-Shirt Project, a Spoofs Ltd. design.

Sabi niya, yun daw ang napili niya kasi lagi ko daw yun sinasabi sa kanya. Ako naman, I chose the shirt for him kasi we are so indulged into playing the "Resident Evil 4" with his PS2. Kaya yun ang nakita kong pinakarelated sa kanya.

But anyways, I had a happy holidays... though with some last minute updates.

May susunod pakong holiday last minute gimmick.

Abangan nyo na lang. :)
