#MGAS anniversary

[markgatissappreciationsociety]

Happy anniversary to us! It's been four glorious years. Here's to many more! 🥂

Announcing… the Mark Gatiss Appreciation Society! 

I had so much fun watching The Quatermass Experiment with y’all that I wanted to make it a recurring thing. So I thought … the Mark Gatiss Film Appreciation Society. 

But I’d also like to watch Clone because he’s hilarious in that. So then it was the Mark Gatiss Filmed Entertainment Appreciation Society. 

But then I remembered… he writes books! And a new one’s coming out (a Doctor Who novelization of one of his TV episodes). So I finally decided it should just be the Mark Gatiss Appreciation Society. 

And because I love Tumblr, but it’s not very good for conversation and discussion and back-and-forth chat and polls… there’s a Discord! It’s just gotten started, but I’d love anyone who wants to talk about the wonder of Mark Gatiss or share photos or generally be a fan to join us. Please message for invite. All are welcome.

igloo sunwoo 📞

tags. oral (f receiving), first times & a little inexperienced reader!, fingering, multiple orgasms, vanillaaaa 🧁

notes. aaaaa base from that sunwoo igloo challenge with jacob and changmin ! i saw a post on x kasi saying in between their ano raw next AJJDKSS AYON I HAD TO !!! medyo slow but short pa rin hehe! happy readinggg 💗

"relax, okay?"

sunwoo assured you. you are now laying naked on your bed, kakatapos niyo lang mag halikan. both of you are still catching breath.

he already has your consent pero paulit-ulit pa rin siyang nag tatanong about it. it's your first anniversary together and inside the first year, hanggang second base lang talaga kayo. of course, sunwoo respects that. napagdesisyunan mo lang talagang gusto mo na itry ngayon, lalo at anniversary niyo naman. mas ispesyal.

sunwoo sat by the edge of the bed, pushing your legs for you to bend your knees. dahan-dahan niya itong binuka, "this is okay?"

huminga ka nang malalim, "yes, sunwoo, please.", sagot mo rito. may kaunting kakabahan, ngunit wala lang iyon kumpara sa dami ng kasiguruhan ni sunwoo kasama ang tiwala mo sa kanya.

mahinhing hinihimas ni sunwoo ang hita mo, paakyat nang paakyat sa dulo ng mga ito.

"hubarin natin.", kalmadong sabi ni sunwoo. dahan-dahan nitong ibinaba ang manipis na telang nag tatakip sa pagkababae mo.

dahan-dahan muli, ibinuka naman ni sunwoo ang mga hita mo, dahilan para tumambad ang buong pagkababae mo sa harap niya.

you saw how sunwoo's breathing hitches. agad niyang ibinaba ang lebel ng katawan, pantay sa iyong tuhod at doon nag simulang mag iwan ng mga nakakakiliting magaang halik. paakyat, pabagal nang pabagal.

"sunwoo...", munting tawag mo rito nang marating nito ang kadulo-duluhan ng hita mo. tumingin pa sa iyo si sunwoo, nag bigay ng maliit na ngiti habang hawak ang kamay mong hinahaplos pa ng hinlalaki nito.

magaan at malambot niyang hinalikan ang umbok ng ari mo. mas ramdam mo na ngayon ang kiliti.

"haah...", malalim na hiningang mong lumabas na parang nang sinimulang hawiin ni sunwoo ang hiwa ng hiyas mo gamit ang gitnang daliri nito.

"masarap?", malambing na tanong ng binata. tumango ka, "mhm..", sunwoo smiled.

nang walang pasabi, naramdaman mo na lang ang mainit at basang laman niya sa hiyas mo kaya nagulat ka at bigla naisara ang mga hita mo. bahagya mo pang naipit ang ulo ng nobyo.

"shit, sorry.", nag aalalang sabi ni sunwoo habang hinahaplos ang gilid ng hita mo. "sorry, baby...", malambing na sabi nito na agad mong inilingan.

"nagulat lang ako! sorry... please, continue lang...", nag aalalang sabi mo pa. baka matakot na si sunwoo na gawin pa ang matagal niyo nang gusto.

you gulped as soon as you feel sunwoo's breathing in between your legs. patuloy pa rin ang paghaplos nito sa gilid ng hita mo.

again, you felt his tongue glide in your slice. nginig kang napaungol. inangat ka ng tingin ni sunwoo. hindi nito masyadong makita ang ekpresyo mo ngunit, kung pagbabasehan ang kaunting awang ng bibig mo at paghahabol mo ng hininga, pipiliin ni sunwoo na ipagpatuloy ang ginagawa.

sunwoo left a few licks on your folds before finding your clit and moving his attention to it. mas pinatigas pa nito ang dila at saka idiniin sa tinggil mo. nilaro niya iyon, pinaikot-ikot bago biglang isinupsop.

"sunwoo–! ahh!", malakas na ungol mo, napasara pa ang dalawang hita mo sa biglaang sensasyon. "sorry, too much, baby?", nag aalalang tanong nito.

for a first timer, natural na magugulat ka. iyon ulit ang dinahilan mo. hindi ka lang sanay, at ayos ka lang sa ganoon.

muling ipwinesto ni sunwoo ang mukha sa gitna ng hita mo at sinimulang sipsipin ang tinggil dahilan ng sunod-sunod mong pag ungol.

"fuck! ahh..! haah– sunwoo!", marahan mo pang tinutulak ang ulo ng nobyo dahilan para ipatong nito ang mga hita mo sa balikat niya. ramdam mo ang mas mahigpit nitong hawak. patuloy lang ito sa ministrasyon niya, sipsip, dila, paminsan-minsan pa nitong mahinang ginagamitan ng ngipin. "oh! ahh! sunwoo..! haah! ah–!"

walang tigil si sunwoo sa ginagawa. mas sumarap pa ata sa pakiramdam nang sinubukan mong silipin ang nobyo sa gitna ng hita at nag tagpo ang mga mata niyo. halos maluha-luha ang mga mata mo sa sarao habang mapungay naman ang kay sunwoo.

"sunw–!", putol na ungol mo nang maramdaman mo ang dila nitong unti unting pumasok sa loob mo. umaangat na ang balakang mo at tinutulak mo na ang sarili sa mukha niya sa nararamdaman. "fuck, sunwoo..! ahh! p-please! haah ahh!"

ramdam na ni sunwoo na malapit ka nang labasan kaya nito ibinalik ang atensyon sa tinggil mo. halos umikot ang mga mata mo sa sarap nang marahas na sipsipin ni sunwoo ang tinggil mo. "ahh, sunwoo..!!" ungol na sigaw mo nang labasan.

"isa pa, baby.", sabi ni sunwoo at bago ka pa makapagsalita, nakapasok at ginagalaw na nito muli ang dila sa loob mo.

"haah ah! oh, fuck..! ahh–!", puro mura at ungol na lang ang laman ng buong kwarto mo. minsan pa ay rinig na rin ang malakas na sipsip at pitik ng dila ni sunwoo sayo.

"pwede ba ako mag pasok ng daliri, baby?", tanong ni sunwoo, hindi natigil ang ministrasyon nya sa gitna ng hita mo dahil daliri naman nito ang naglalaro sa tinggil mo. "ahh.. h-huh?"

mas idiniin pa ni sunwoo ang daliri sa gitna mo. "finger, mahal. fi-finger-in kita. ayos lang ba 'yon?", halos ungol na ang maisagot mo nang marinig ang tanong. mabilis lang tumango, "y-yes..! please... p-please, baby...", sagot mo.

sunwoo smiled. slowly, he entered a finger in. he immediately curled it upwards causing for your legs to shake. paulit-ulit niya itong ginawa nang marinig ang reaksyon.

"f-fuck–! ahh haah! aah, sun–! fuck fuck..!"

may aliw sa mukha ni sunwoo kung paano ka rumesponde sa mga galaw niya. "dadagdagan ko pa, baby.", sabi nito at mabilis na ipinasok ang pangalawang daliri sa loob.

"sunwoo..! t-tangina ahh!", nanginginig ka na. naiipit na rin ang dalawang daliri ni sunwoo sa loob mo. mas sumisikip ka lalo kumpara kanina. "sun–! ahh..!! sunwoo–!"

mas lumaki ang ngiti sa mukha ng nobyo mo. "bakit, baby?", nangaasar pang tanong nito. alam naman na niyang lalabasan ka. you groaned but it came out as a moan kaya natawa pa sayo ang boyfriend mo.

"s-sun..! please..! lalabasan– ahh!", hindi mo na natapos ang sasabihin nang balutin na naman ng bibig ni sunwoo ang tinggil mo. ginawa niya iyon habang ginagalaw nang mas mabilis ang mga daliri niya sa loob mo. "fuck–!", malakas na ungol mo.

sa sobrang lakas ng impact at dami ng katas mo, kahit nakapasok pa man ang mga daliri ni sunwoo, may tumutulo nang puting malagkit sa butas mo.

pikit kang nag hahabol hininga, manginignginig pa nang dahan dahang bawiin ni sunwoo ang mga daliri mula sa loob mo. sakto pang pag mulat mo ay saka niya ito isinubo at sinipsip.

"sarap."

I had a concept idea for the Lalaloopsy Netflix series anniversary but it has never happened.

which I wish they had fully plastic instead of rubber plastic.

then again, they didn't do that. of course, it's better to do a fully plastic doll instead of a rubber plastic.

but please.. Tell MGA to make them into reality, I don't care if they wouldn't remember that series anymore.

#bringLalaloopsyonceagain!

[spot-splatter-splash]

Been rewatching old Lalaloopsy stuff, so far up to the pre-Nick Jr. stuff and all the little differences and details and I need somewhere to ramble and you're the only Lalaloopsy fan I know of so-

-The fact that they lean so much more into the fact that they're dolls. The shininess of their eyes, the callbacks to the playsets in real life, the fact that they can fall from great heights and not be injured. I'd say that they somewhat less polished voice acting helps to emphasize this, like they're really just being played with by little girls.

-How unique each of the littles are. They all seem to be slightly different ages (Bundles is less good at talking and speaks in the third person, Sprinkle had a clearer voice but only says small phrases, Squirt can speak longer sentences, and Specs is nonverbal but clearly extremely intelligent). They each have slightly different relationships with their sisters as well - Mittens is more parental with Bundles, Crumbs is a lot more doting, Bea treats Specs like an annoying little sibling, and Squirt is basically Peanut's assistant.

-The way the pets are animated and how much character they're given. (The littles' pets are irrelevant which is hilarious to me)

-Rosy just popping up in random places a la that one Persona 4 food delivery girl

-All the unique quirks given to each character to flesh them out that are left out of the Nick series (Pillow's narcolepsy, Mittens' snow magic, Peanut and Jewel being somewhat more sassy in a way, Jewel being into dance, Specs being nonverbal, Dot being easily distracted, etc)

-All of the smaller locations added to Lalaloopsy Land to give it more personality, like the playground or the flower fields

-Idk I'm just really normal right now I am so sorry-

I find it heartwarming how many fans are popping up to send asks. Considering the last piece of animated media dropped in 2017 and the 10th anniversary dolls are 3-4 years old now; It truly goes to show that there's always a fandom for something! Even if its just a handful of people or one fan getting their friends into it. I love talking to everyone and making art again.

I love that the earlier works for the series plays with and leans into the fact that they are dolls. Its subtle but works for what the series is meant to be. As much as I love the later series and thinks it does stuff well I can admit that some of the charm can be lost in the transition.

That's part of why I like the implication that the dolls were aging. Just like us, the former children who were playing out little stories with them the dolls and their stories were maturing. Though MGA never fully committed to any real over arching plot. Which is why I want too. We've seen it work with MLP and Ever After High (other series meant to sell dolls).

I do also miss

Specs being Nonverbal (I was actually so upset when she talked in her birthday episode. Her being nonverbal worked really well for her. And I liked the idea of her and Charlotte possibly being able to bond over communicating differently than their peers)

Mittens' snow magic. (There was a lot of potential to explore with it.)

Jewel's love of dance (It appears a bit in the Nick Jr. series but not much at all in L.A.L.A. Prep or We're Lalaloopsy. It's a cute part of her character. Gives her more hobbies than just...existing? ( I have really complex thoughts about Jewel and her roll in most series). And explains her dynamic with Tippy)

I also miss in general the amount of characters in the series. I understand that the later series never made it as far as the 26 episode a piece two season run Nick Jr. did. And I do feel like We're Lalaloopsy was setting up to include Cloud E. Sky. I would give anything for it to pull a Care Bears: Unlock the magic and drop a second season years after its initial run.

[citruscitrushope]

Hiiiii. I saw your responses on another users asks about Lalaloopsy lore and would LOVE to talk Lalaloopsies with you. Please info dump to me 🙏

I want to hear it all (if that’s okay with you obvi)

On it! Under a cut cuz it's so long

So Lalaloopsy was originally created in about 2009 as Bitty Buttons, but the same had some copyright disputes so it was changed about about 12 dolls? The original 8 and the four succeeding them have very rare versions with this packaging.

Dolls were released in waves of about eight every season or so, outside of limited editions and such.

Initially, the canon was limited to the descriptions on the backs of the boxes, some books, and a few web and DS games, before the first animated universe came about, consisting of web shorts and a movie.

Eventually Nick Jr. picked up the franchise for six more movies, more shorts, and a two season TV series. Like all of the VAs for the franchise were nobodies except in the Lalaloopsy Girls movie for some reason.

Then the Nick show caused a lawsuit since the company behind Lalaloopsy (MGA) didn't pay as much for it as they said it would, which I assume didn't help with the steady decline of the brand (cheaper dolls, less creative ideas, etc), before Netflix picked it up for a show.

The Netflix show sorta bombed, they only made five dolls and some minis and I don't think anyone really cared outside of existing fans, a lot of which were turned off by the more realistic direction taken for the dolls and changes to the story, with fan favorite characters being omitted such as Peanut and Cloud E.

Lalaloopsy sort of died after the Netflix show until the 10th anniversary re-released in 2021ish, old and new dolls just like the old ones coming out and old songs and movies getting YouTube uploads. Nothing's really happened since but hey.

Fun facts: the series was racist a lot, I think they've been getting better but c'mon, Mittens, Mango, Sahara, Yuki, Feather, the fact that Dot was the darkest character and got like no merchandise, the whitewashing of Cinder, I think they've been rectifying some of these things lately thankfully.

They've tried to ride the coattails of mlp (ponies) and monster and ever after high (girls) to eh results

The Babies Diaper and Potty Surprise dolls probably foreshadowed the oddly scatalogical direction MGA has taken in recent years

Like everyone is neurodivergent coded in the Netflix series

People thought Suzette La Sweet and Crumpet Hearts were getting married in the Sew Royal Tea Party bundle

I think Rosy's design had to get changed because of violating Red Cross guidelines at some point

For some reason Bundles is shown with a pacifier a lot even though she's never come with one outside of a mini, same with Rosy's hat and Misty's gloves

(My dad used to put my dolls up in trees and it made me sad, that's neither fun nor a fact but)

a jaehyun one-shot

shopping has got to be one of the least favorite things jaehyun loves to do when going to the mall, he hates doing it with others, but not with you. kaya alam mong hindi makakatanggi ang iyong nobyo kapag inaya mo itong samahan ka magshopping, never itong humindi pagdating sa'yo.

kasalukuyang kayong nasa department store para mamili ng mga damit pang regalo. nasa woman's section kayo at si jaehyun naman naglalakad at sumusunod lamang kung saan mo ito hatakin bitbit bitbit ang mga paper bags sa kamay niya.

"babe, bagay ba sakin 'to?" kinuha mo sa may rack ang puting shirt na medyo cropped na simple lang at ipinatong mo ito sa may bandang dibdib para makita kung babagay ba ito pang itaas.

"yeah, it suits you, simple lang siya babe hanap ka ng size mo, i'll just seat here lang or isukat mo rin if you like, i'll wait for you" saad ni jaehyun na umupo sa may upuan sa may gilid ng salamin. kinuha niya rin sa'yo ang bag mo para naman hindi ka raw mahirapan maghanap at magsukat ng mga damit.

mga ilang minuto rin bago ka nakakita ng size mo, hindi mo rin ito sinukat dahil baka rin magmantsa ang make up mo sa puting shirt kaya naman yung medyo maluwag na shirt na ang kinuha mo para medyo may allowance rin.

"i'm done na babe!" tsaka mo binalikan si jaehyun sa kinauupuan niya. he stood up and got all of the paper bags na nakalapag kanina sa may sahig.

"done? parang ambilis naman"

"i didn't fitted it kasi baka madumihan ng makeup ko so i decided to get nalang yung one na medyo loose para kasya parin for me"

after a while ng pag iikot sa department store, nakakita ka ng matagal mo ng hinahanap, the shorts that you've been eyeing for a long time.

"oh my god this is so pretty!" agad mong tinignan ang nakadisplay sa may rack only to check the price.

"damn! ang mahal naman, lika na babe, next time nalang"

"oh i thought tagal mo ng hinahanap yan? why not get it?"

"it's too expensive eh"

"hmmm.. is that so?"

"yeah, tara na next time nalang babe"

agad mo ng pinulupot ang kamay mo sa mga braso ni jaehyun para ayain na siya palabas ng department store. habang naglalakad lakad kayo ay nag paalam si jaehyun sa'yo na mag ccr lang muna ito.

"babe, wait for me here lang ah? i'll just go to the restroom lang"

"oh okay babe"

umupo ka muna sa may bench para hintayin si jaehyun, mga ilang minuto rin ang tinagal ni jaehyun bago ito nakabalik na may dala dalang paper bag.

"oh what's that? i thought sa cr ka galing?"

"errands lang may pinabili bigla si mom"

"ohh okay, let's go na"

"okay, babe"

pumunta na kayo sa may parking lot at sumakay sa kotse ni jaehyun para makauwi na.

"wait babe before we go, there's something at the back can you get it for me?"

"where ?? this paper bag ba?"

"yes"

hawak mo ang brown paper bag na kaninang hawak ni jaehyun galing sa department store.

"i thought para sa mom mo 'to?"

"happy anniversary, baby! it's my gift for you, open it" hinalikan ka ni jaehyun sabay ang matatamis na ngiting nakahulma sa kanyang mga labi.

"oh my god baby! you didn't have to!" binuksan mo ang paper bag at nagulat ka sa laman nito, ito ang shorts na kanina mo pa minamata.

"i got it for you kasi i figured gustong gusto mo siyang bilhin kanina, i don't care if it's too expensive for you basta as long as you'll love it i wouldn't mind spending a lot just to make my baby happy"

jaehyun planted another kiss on your lips and another on your cheeks.

"i love you, babe!"

"happy anniversary! and i love you too so so much babe!"

👭 Ang Dalawang Misis Ann/e

I'm having a blast with dalawang misis Ann/e again and it's just an unforgettable one. Since hindi ko sila nakatabi matulog nung sleepover kuno last time sa previous post ko, ngayon naman sulit. As post birthday and anniversary celebration nila ni Ann, may kaunting handaan at dun nya na ako pinatuloy sa kanila after ng shift ko.

I really just love these ghorls and blessed enough to have them! Alam mo yung parang ang tagal na naming magkakilala. Pero totoo nga yung sabi nila na wala talaga sa tagal ng friendship yan.

Super lagi ko tinitignan pictures na 'to kasi ang cute lang; and yes, nagbaon talaga kami ni Anne ng pang pajama party/Netflix and chill hahahahaha

To match with our pajamas, I bought socks for us. Flexing my hairy binti as well coz I haven't shave for month, will do it within this week. Haha!

Overflowing happiness since hindi lang kaming tatlo sa kama kundi pati mga fur babies ni Ann. Sobrang sweet nila at talagang tatabi samin para matulog, yakap yakap na parang unan.

This is me and Chichi. Sobrang sweet nya dahil pag nakaupo ako, laging kakalabit sakin dahil magpapakarga. Nung sinabi ni Ann na free life nalang daw pala ni Chichi to dahil 13 yrs old na sya, naiyak ako, di ako prepared marinig yun at di rin ako ready kung mangyari na. Daig ko pa may ari sa pagiging emotional nung time na yun.

Well, I really wanted to have a pet. Nagka trauma trauma lang talaga dahil nakagat ako ng aso nung grade 4 ako tapos nakagat naman ng pusa last 2023. But I really really love them. Kapag may own space na talaga ako na pwede pets, I'll try my best to be a fur mom.

Napaka inspiring naman talaga ng gift ni Anne sakin. Kaya ito daw pinili nya para sakin dahil may meaning hahahaha. Nakakatuwa lang na kaming tatlo may kanya kanya palang thoughtful gift to each other. Tapos si Ann naman, pinagtabi nya pala ako ng strawberry dahil galing sila Baguio last time and ginawa nalang din naming strawberry shake kahapon.

We helped Ann to prepare, doing the dishes, and cook para sa konteng handaan. Nakakapagod na hindi mo ramdam dahil at the same time masaya kayo together. Hayyyy more moments like these pa po.

Lastly, na-meet namin si Andrea with his bf kanina which is bagong member sa group nila at nagbibiruan kami na may dadagdag na naman na "Ann" Hahahaha. I'm looking forward to know her more at para maka bonding rin. Kapag nag post ako soon ng "with tatlong misis ann/e" yun na yun. Hahaha

Dayoff well spent. Good night.

Zildtober Day 11 Medisina ("Medicine")

My final (belated) tribute to the 1 year anniversary of Zild's Medisina album. The song is about having an unhealthy longing for "medicine" whatever that may be. Be it a former lover, addictions, vices, etc.. although the MV implies a former lover. I feel all types of ways when listening to this song. Definitely one of the heaviest hitting songs of the album.

This short comic took me longer than intended. Admittedly I procrastinated because I felt I had to make this one perfect, but alas that's impossible. Even though there are lots of things I'd change and add, I loved and had looked forward to working on this. It was one of the first ideas that came to mind when thumbnailing the series; it was like a baby to me despite only working on it for a few days. Love Medisina and mabuhay si Ziiiiiiiiild at ang mga panikiiii!!

[hindimakatulogsagabi]

iniwasan ko din yung socmed muna kasi hindi talaga nakakatulong sakin. lalo na pag nakikita ko yung friends namin na magjowa, 8 years na sila. wow ang tagal. ang tagal na nilang masaya. samantalang ako, i stayed for more than 6 years sa isang tao pero mas madaming time dun na hindi naman masaya. kahit binabalewala ako, ako yung naghahabol, ako nalang yung nagmamahal pero I stayed. ano kaya feeling na icelebrate yung 2nd 3rd 4th anniversary no. pero ako kasi pumili nung choice na yun eh.

hindi naging madali yung mga pinagdaanan ko, pag naaalala ko, naiiyak ako, kasi that time naiiyak ako nalang ako. kasi bat ko hinahayaan sarili ko na maging ganon.

last year nakalagpas na ako sa pagsubok na yun, nakawala na ako. im happy. ang sarap ipagyabang na okay na ako. bumalik sya, nagparamdam ulit, at first hesitant ako, iaallow ko ba sya ulit. pero mahal ko talaga eh. subok nalang ulit. minsan pumapasok sa isip ko yung "iniwan mo ko tas ngayon babalik balik ka" parang gusto kong ano, paasahin nalang? pero hindi eh, mahal ko naman talaga sobrang takot lang talaga ako na iwan ako ulit. ayoko nalang talaga mag effort masyado nun gaya ng ginagawa ko dati.

sawakas naramdaman ko talaga sya ulit. ang sarap ng feeling na ramdam na ramdam kong mahal nya ako, i let my guard down and I fell inlove again, kung tutuusin mas mahal ko pa sya sa sarili ko. yun yung mali ko.

sabi ko nun sa sarili ko, hindi na muna ako magmamahal hanggat hindi pa ako buo ulit, kaso nung bumalik sya, minahal ko na naman ulit. hindi pa ako masyadong buo, kaso binigay ko na naman lahat sakanya nung pagmamahal.

kaya eto ako ngayon, sira na ulit.

kaya ko sya tinanggap before kasi deserve nya yung pagmamahal na kaya kong ibigay. sa tingin nya kaya deserve kong ganto lang? na yung iiwan nalang paulit ulit.

[thespoliarium]

On the anniversary of the Martial Law, my mind turns to my great grandfather, who was one of those who experienced the harshness of the regime.

You see, he attended a peace and order meeting in their barangay and was asked to sign their names in an attendance list. That list was used to identify and arrest those attendees, making it look like they surrendered to the military, "mga nagbalik-loob."

No worries, I asked my uncle about him, and he managed to survive that. He died and was buried right before the start of the 1986 EDSA Revolution.

I never met him, but I admired his courage. I'm looking forward to research more about him real soon. Hopefully some of my relatives still have photos of him.

He was my Lolo Anding. He was an ardent fighter of the truth, just like me now. I hope that he's proud of me. I really hope so.

january dump.

unang araw ng january, nanuod kami ng rewind. sobrang late nito haha pero okay naman maganda, predictable. may ginayahan lang palang movie, sabi ng iba.

after christmas break, we also had our team dinner, dito namin ginamit yung prize na nakuha namin for winning the award last year.

nakakatuwa kasi naka uwi ulit ako ng manila after nung christmas, sakto kasi kinailangan namin gamiting yung remaining leave credits from last year. nag set kami mag pipinsan ng pajama party since umuwi rin ng pinas yung isa naming pinsan from japan. parang late christmas celebration, like what we used to do nung mga bata pa kami, nag exchange gift kami. hehe. aim na ulit namin gawing yearly 'to just like before.

maganda rin pala tumambay sa arcovia, kaya dun ako bumaba. nakakahiya lang kasi my ghad, natanga ako sa gripo dun, de padal pala haha. natatawa talaga ko sa sarili ko non. anyway, tuwing uuwi ako ng manila nag aangkas lang din naman ako, dun nalang siguro ako bababa at sasakay, malapit lang din naman sa bahay.

tinry namin yung bagong nail and lash salon dito sa legazpi, nagustuhan ko naman yung ua wax, gusto ko rin itry yung foot spa nila, pero kung gel or soft gel siguro, dun nalang ako ulit sa yashano, may suki na ako dun e. medj na stress kasi ako sa procedure ng gel dun, wala pala kasi sakanila ang marunong talaga. napaka tagal ng gawa, tapos hindi naman pulido.

nag swimming din kami ng mga pinsan at kapatid ni J sa guinobatan, ang ganda nung lugar mahirap lang puntahan lalo na kung mag cocommute ka. dito sana plano ng cluster namin mag swimming kasi holiday nun, pero di natuloy kasi daming nag back out haha.

tagal ko naring di nakakapag simba, hindi ko na matandaan kelan yung huling beses ako nakarinig ng misa. after nung check out sa casita, nag simba sila uncle, hindi na kami pumasok nung kapatid ni J at nag stay nalang sa parking kasi naka short lang kami. di kasi kami informed na mag sisimba pala after haha. sa anniversary namin ni J ayain ko nalang siya mag simba kami.
