Sagada Chronicles: Ang Muntik na Pagkaudlot ng Trip

View at Kiltepan Peak


Sagada - worthy of all risks I've taken, makadaupang palad ka lamang...

3 days before our trip nagkakagulo kami.. walang balita if tuloy or not… plus ung dating 12 pax nauwe sa 4 pax.. dahil sa sobrang stress sa opis, badly needed ko talaga ang magtungo sa isang lugar na malayo sa metro… I was the real reason bakit nagkaroon ng Sagada trip so ndi pede ndi matuloy ito. By hook or by crook dapat matuloy… Thursday night , already half packed. Got sms from raine that Friday 10PM ang alis namen, assuming na maaga ako magrereport sa opis I still have enough time to continue packing Friday night.

Friday afternoon, in a middle of a meeting… windang mode kami sa FB, hindi malaman kung commute o push through sa paghire ng van… having only 5 confirmed people, commute na.. pero habang umaandar ung oras at naghahagilap kmi ng available seating tapos biglang sabi ni Raine eh ung sa Cable tours na lang daw kami.. Nagpanic na ako ang alis ng bus from cable tours eh 8 PM.. tapos 3 PM na at ndi pa maxadong nakapack di ako aabot… hala!! Naloka na ako.. at dahil want ko talaga pumunta ng Sagada, I message my boss asking her permission to take under time at 4 PM, take note nasa kalagitnaan ako ng meeting. Even my officemate asked me na di na ako nakikinig… hala chat at twag ako sa mga bus companies… After a while, around 4 at di pa din ako nakapagundertime, we decided na via Baguio na lang kmi, para di mangarag ang mga pipol at di ko na kailangang mag undertime… at nagawa pang gumimik until midnight... yes, nagbyahe ako pa Sagada ng walang tulog...

Sixteen Years in the Making



Once a Backstreet Fan, Always a Backstreet Fan

I've been following the Backstreet Boys for about sixteen years already, since I was in my elementary days.

They’ve had visited Manila for about 3 times already but not lucky enough to watch them perform live.

Last January, I was lucky enough to watch The Greatest Hits Concert featuring A1, Blue and Jeff Timmons and I will never forget one thing that I’ve said upon watching that concert. I told my friend that if Backstreet Boys will have a concert here in Manila, I won’t miss that chance; by hook or by crook I will come to watch them.

When the news broke out that NKOTBSB will be performing on Jakarta, Indonesia, I’m determined to watch them, but God has a better plan. I don’t know how crazy I am when I heard that I do not need to go to Jakarta because they will be performing here in Manila…

I was so excited because seeing them performing live is one of my long term goals. I actually made that when I was still in high school, imagine having your sixteen year dream came true?! Oh boy the anticipation is really killing me…

Then last June 3, my dream come true #SixteenYearsintheMaking.
