With my loves.
Check It Out ;)
My mind forgets to remind me
You’re a bad idea
You touched me once and it’s really something,
You find I’m even better than you imagined I would be.
I’m on my guard for the rest of the world
But with you I know it’s no good
And I could wait patiently but I really wish you would.
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
‘cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile…

Sparks Fly -Taylor SwiftOnline Birthday Surprise = SUCCESS!!!
It made my Darbi cry.. aww. :’>
Got him a Kyocera Santoku Ceramic Knife and Peeler Set as a gift, and I’m getting him a ceramic pairing knife also. Exactly what he wants for his birthday! :p
I promised to buy him also every issue of Top Gear Magazine while he’s away. I also read it anyway :)
I’m really happy that somehow I made him feel that I’m closer to him because I know that what makes his birthday special is us, celebrating the day together. <3
I read somewhere that missing someone is part of loving them, and if you were never apart, you’ll never know how strong your love is.
…true enough, it is in this exact moment that I feel how strong our relationship is even if we’re miles apart. And it just continues to grow everyday :)
Happy Birthday love, I love you so much.
And I’m lucky to witness the making of a great chef. :>

We all entered the program armed with just a little knowledge of how the banking industry works. After a year of training, we’re all now equipped with the skills and knowledge a banker must have to be successful in this field of business, thanks to the RCBC Officers Development Program. It truly has been an odyssey of learning for us, a fruitful one.
Now, we’re no longer trainees but Junior Assistant Managers of the bank.
Presenting the graduates:
Fran, Sel, Via, Aleli, Janice, Gelo, Tsong- University of the Philippines,Diliman
Mara, Dustin, Lonz- Ateneo de Manila University
Andre, Miguel- De Lasalle Univeristy
Johna- St. Scholastica’s College
Jeff- University of California Los Angeles (UCLA)

One of the most important lessons that the program has instilled in me is the true meaning of excellence. It is not being superior to others, but being superior to your previous self. And as we join the different departments of the bank, we are ready to take on the challenge that the President, Lorenzo V. Tan and the Chairman, Mrs. Helen Yuchengco-Dee have given us. We will live up to the expectations of the top management, as well as our mentors, and continue to strive to be better bankers.
