In memory of my Dear Friend Camille

For the last 8 years I made several friends here in the UAE be it in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. One great friend that I have found in Dubai was a woman named Camille. She's actually my  regular guest as well as her husband Kuya Vince in my previous job which I was a Store Supervisor in a major coffee shop. Thus, that's where we build our friendships.

We partied, talked anything under the sun especially Cammy. She's a talker and we have the same vibes or wavelength, likes etc.  In fact, even without her husband she always come to my shop, look for me then beso beso and have a short conversation. She's really a bubbly person inside and out.

Circa 2007, when I realize to moved Abudhabi and fortunately got a hefty offer with my new job - This was the time we disconnected from each other but good thing Face Book was there na - so we communicated in FB. Then suddenly Middle of  2009 her husband told me via FB that Camille is suffering from Cancer now thus shes not replying to my message or even chats which I was dismayed and sad enough to hear that. For me she's so young and full of life - and that time still I cannot accept nor comprehend about what happened to her but then again I have high hopes that eventually she will be cured.

Then come this December (2010), I was so excited to go home. I booked my flights and prepared every thing for my departure even its a rough and tough for me esp with my career. But what can I do that's life so either by hook or by crook I need to face that adversity and Be Challenged. So, prior to my flight last Dec. 18, 2010, during those weeks  and one fine Friday afternoon - I was alone in the house and I woke up very late. So what I did, I made my late lunch- I cooked, ate and browsed the internet. Then suddenly I felt someone is looking or gawking at me like a shadow looking behind me - I was really scared that time so I stopped from what I'm doing and went straight out of the house. I thought that was just my weird, bizarre feelings for that day but then I was wrong, It was start pala of my encounter with omom. And during that week, every time I'm home especially in my bed, I really felt some one is embracing or touching me because my hair skins were really moving and I even talk to him or her to stop scaring me. In fact, I told my sister & her family about it so that this ghost will moved out or vanished but then those trying weeks this Casper did not vanished instead stayed in silence and comfort me.

That Night(Dec.18) in an ungodly hour and while waiting for my car lift to pick and send me to the airport, I chance upon to browse FB then suddenly a shout out revealed from Kuya Vince Del Rosario: "My beloved Camille is in the hands of the Lord Now"- and this give me shivers and knowing more that Camille was died last Dec. 16, 2010 - It really stricken me of what I heard from other people stories about coincidence, chance encounter with the ghost and of such fate is really really True and Now I believe.

To my beloved friend Camille Del Rosario - Thank you for visiting me for the last time though I did not see you in your silhoutte or halo I really felt the sincerity of your visit, of knowing and informing me that we are true friends inspite of any circumstances either death or eternity. And that your legacy, memories and experience that you have shared with me will always reign in my heart. And I will quote Kuya Vince that "Your gone, yes it's true, but your memories will forever live in those with whom you have touched". And I'm one of those, with that I am very much honored.

Of Wedding, Vacay and Rampage

Finally, I went home this Yuletide season. For the last 6 or 7 years, I have not experience celebrating Christmas with my family and finally this last year 2010 I did. It is not actually a big deal but then again Christmas in the Philippines is way way better period.


Of Wedding - This is one of the main reason why I went home this year. April & Jeff - the couple has been my friends since immemorial char! actually about 5 or 6 years now since we were flat mates in Dubai. I have witnessed their struggle from being Neophytes here to now a well-stabled career and loving couple. They have carved their own niche here thus no wonder God's Grace has been so good to them thus being blessed they have transcended once step higher their relationship by tying the knot. And it was one hell of a wedding indeed. Such Elegance, Glamour, Fun and Vekiness. I Missed Gavgav actually!

Of Vacay - Its a worthy going home last Christmas. Seeing my family and relatives is enough reason of coming home. In fact, I have been jetsetting back and fro to Manila and my home province. But I never complained because this is once in a life time chance of coming home, reunite and celebrate. Money is not a question here but tired and sleepless nights/days just to catch early flights etc. But then its part of the experience, I will  never forget definitely.

Of Rampage - This year is the most eventful vacation I've ever had. Manila with lots to offer, I sauntered, discovered every nook and cranny of its Nite life Scenes from the posh Serendra to all walks of life MOA, to gay friendly Malate and to Libis Call Center haven- I have never complained but enjoy and savor every minute of it. There is so much to enjoy, celebrate in Manila. It is just I have so little time and spce

Of Going Home and Finding a New Job!

Of Finding a NEW JOB - Well, I can honestly say now that I am not afraid to be terminated end of this year. For the last three years now, I made enough outputs or let's say contributions to this project as well as to the company. Working for a project of sorts, its really hard saying goodbyes but seeing now the project has been done and only few people left like my boss JP has been terminated already, its not motivating or inspiring to work anymore. I need to move on and that is my final say.

Of Getting HOME - Thus, I am excited of going home this december the fact that after my vacay, I will look for a greenier and brighter pasture and I am confident enough that 2011 has a better future in store for me. I can't wait to see old people, friends and family this yuletide, It is my first ever Pasko in the Philippines after working abroad for the last 8 years with no savings (hahaha). Costly and yet full of joy and fun - as in! See Yah Guyz and Let us paint the town red again.

Its all F as in Formula 1™

  OMG! as in I've got 9 days off starting last Friday with the F1 fever till next Saturday for the Eid break. So long and yet so fun hahahaha. Anyway, what I'm going to post is all about F. Guess? of course its F1 Mania, Fever, Fanzone & Fun concerts. F1 for sure its everyone's knowledge that this is the most popular, posh etc sport of all time. Its the second time around for Abudhabi to host the Finale. And of course expect loads of fun, parties and the likes. Celebrities here and there.

Anyway, my fun journey begins last Wednesday when the segment Beats on the Beach started. The line ups are pure talented artists. One to mention - K-E-L-L-Y ROWLAND one of Destiny's child best voices. I guess better than Beyotch-e I mean Beyonce. Well, I think bodywise shes Hottier than B well toned, nice structure and very slim. For me its the best free concert I've ever had ...she all rendered my favorite songs from "I am a survivor, Independent Woman, Say my name say name no one is round U, Nelly I luv you I do, Work, Bootylicious, Commander and when luv takes over". As in I feel like I am the only person on earth dancing free from worries and all - kiver I don't care whos watching me or tracking me.

Thursday - I never thought that I'll be watching F1 this year and voila  we had a ticket to the main grandstand where the real action is. As in me and my colleagues were so excited and seeing all  those guys for me is a pure bliss.They are all Delicious, Yummy, Beefy, Imal, Daku, Tam-is you name all the adjectives they are all that. They were all Cakes, Candies and Vitamins to my naked eyes hahahahha ever. And at night, SEAN Paul was in the house and the crowd really love him but for me I love Kelly's performance.

We missed Friday's event because we were all drunk but it was sorely fun. Ana T rocked the house - we called our batch in our hometown with fun and laughter and what an irony they are at the middle of the wake hahaha and so Gawa Elvie Dirty the werewolf - as in she scratched my arms with her mighty koko and out of her balance she broke the folded cabinet of Heides roommate.Total disaster and fun indeed :-)

Saturday was a bit relax - We had a batch lunch again at Hadiya's Flat and recalling/reminiscing what happened last night and then we went to corniche for some Fishing and at the end of the day - we caught with small fishes. I freed my catch because shes so small that's why I ended blabbing with Elvie Dirty because she really took all those small fishes and I told her Dirty free them but shes just smiling. That is why I told her, I will never ever join with your fishing again - Ur illegal fisher Gawa! even the smallest imo paksiwhon hahaha

Sunday, the F1 Race Day - same thing last year No one want to watch with me in Corniche and so I go by myself. It was full and relax and after 55 laps finally the winner revealed and it was the same guy who made it from 2009, 2010 and 2011 - the youngest F1 driver to win this coveted price - the yummy, the witty SEBASTIEN VETTEL. I think German like him and Michael Schumacher are born to win. Glückwünsche!
