HICAP BERKS Day Out... Finally!

I was on my annual leave last March but was not able to see my friends from Hitachi. Palaging may isang unavailable pag magse-set ng lakad. Hello! d kami makumpleto e 3 lang naman kami. Other berks are abroad. One has already settled in Canada and the rest found better opportunities in Singapore.

Planning the meet up took days just to finalize the location.

Apple's options:
- thinking that i would be going alone (meaning walang driver), not in Alabang please. may byahe naman na direcho kaso bihira ang bus na aircon. so i would have to transfer pa sa may sto. tomas if i want to ride an aircon bus... in short, nag-iinarte ako! =)
- sa SM megamall kze Mom and Dad would also go there to check DTI fair. They could pick me up after their Pasig appointment.
- not in MOA pleeeaaassse, they wont drop and pick me up there.
- what's between MOA and Mega? Makati it is! =)


Jme's say:
-let's try Oceano Fuzion
-let's go to Wensha spa na lang
- SM Mega is OVER! (meaning d kaya ng powers nya)
- Makati is fine.

Sha's comment:
- no to Wensha spa (or any spa)
- been craving for Dad's... eat all you can!
- MOA is okei.
- SM Mega is fine.
- Makati will do.

i was thinking, sino sa tatlo ang madaling kausap? parang wala. =)

I arrived the earliest in Glorietta. i told them to come at 11:30 though my mom told me we'd be leaving home at 9am (average travel time is 2hrs). I was thinking traffic pa rin kahit na Sunday because of the road works in south area. I roamed around Glorietta and bought what mom asked me to buy. Im done when Jme arrived.

Had coffee. Started chickahan. Then, Sha came.

We decided not to go to Dad's. baka d namin masulit ang eat all you can. Besides, dyahe to stay there from lunch time to sawa. We went to North park in Glorietta 5 instead. And had coffee again after lunch.

It was hours of full-packed chizmizan. From my wedding preps, to married life, to the happenings in our families, work, previous work colleagues at marami pa... marami pang ibang tao na nasangkot sa usapan. haha! Masama!

At 7pm, Sha has to go. So hinatid namin sya sa exit to SM. Then nag-tour kami ni Jme from 2nd floor to 1st floor to 2nd floor again in search of National Bookstore. Dun na kami naghiwalay when Glenn fetched Jme.

It was FUN!
i missed you, girls.

Let's meet again. Hopefully before my wedding so you could meet The Man before The Day.

=)

PS:
Congratulations sa shopping spree, Jme!
Iregalo mo na lang sakin ang natitirang budget mo if ayaw mo mag-shop.

HINDI KO NA KAYA 'TO!

note: there are more toys in his cabinet!

He said he wanted to buy all the toys he was eyeing for so long before we get married. That is so fine. I told him he has until the last day of his bachelor days to buy all, as in lahat ng toys na gusto nya.

Pero ang nakakainis lang is, whenever he has a new toy, he becomes autistic! May sarili na syang mundo.

...just another fiancee's rant!

My BoY's ToYs

I love you Sabado pati na rin Linggo... magkikita na kze kami ulit! =)
So here comes Saturday night at ayan na c Francis. He was so happy to make kwento on how his day went. At tuwang tuwa sya to show me his new toys. Ang tagal na daw nyang naghahanap nito!

Meet the SheLbY's...

This one is the car in GoNe in 60 seconds, sabi ni Francis. We'll I've never seen that movie. hehe!

SheLBy, the modern version

SUNDAY MORNING, the first thing na ginawa nya is to stare at his new toys. Then, hinimas-himas (anu un manok?!)

...at pinunas-punasan (Nadumihan na agad sa ilang segundong nakalabas sa kahon?!) Note that the clothe he used as pamunas is from his fave brand of clothing (anyway, labahin naman... pero kahit na!).

SUNDAY NIGHT, when we got home from VWCP Chapter meeting eto na naman sya...

The car is glued in his fingers?

MONDAY NIGHT... gotta take SOME, uh, errr, LOTS of photos!

Just can't get enough of you SHeLBY baby

Gotta store the cars in their boxes. Time to sleep for him and his babies.

But among his finds, this is my fave!

Old school VoLksie, scale: 1:18

E bakit naman hindi e...



This green car is my Daddy's & the toy car was Francis' gift for my dad on Fathers' day. Damay na rin ako sa regalo (from Francis & Apol... hehehe!) My dad was so happy.

Thank you, Mahal! =)

W V W DaY

June 14, 2009, wasn't an ordinary Sunday for us, especially for my Dadi! It was World Volkswagen Day. My Dad's so excited just like a kid who will go on a field trip. =)

Though already informed, my dad received a text msg from the VW Club, Laguna chapter president regarding event info. Flyers were also handed to him a wk before "the day". There was last minute change in venue though. Since may issue na rin ng H1N1 sa Ateneo (it's ATeneo's 150 years celeb kaya ang saya sana isabay ang celebration ng WVW day), the venue was changed to QC City hall.

Saturday night, Dad oriented Francis and I about the changes and itinerary the following day. 6:00 daw kami aalis sa bahay. Ako naman was like, "huh?! bakit 6am pa e kala ko 7 am ang start ng program sa Manila?" hindi daw sabi ni Dadi. 7 am ang meeting time sa SLEX Caltex station. Francis suggested, "5:30 na lang po tayo alis, tito." And 5:30 it is.

I woke up Sun morning and saw dadi already bihis. While Francis is already taking a bath. past 5 na pala! I hurriedly took a bath after Francis and after dressing up found out that Dadi already left leaving all the staff we'll be selling. Yes, we have items to sell. Ganun pinagpreparan ang VW day, uhm, medyo kulang pa pala ang prep kase may items pa na d umabot. sayang!

D naman tlaga kami pareho ng gagamitin na car but i thought hintayin kami ni dadi at least. Dadi used his Volksie of course while Francis and I used Sportie (c Sportivo) where we stuffed all our items. Sabi pa ni Francis, nag-inarte pa si Volksie. ayaw mag-start! hala! tinulak pa sya. Okei naman sya at walang problema pero bakit naman sa araw nya nagpalambing pa c Volksie. tsk, tsk.

On our way, inabot pa namin ni Francis cla dadi. He was with his friend then. Dinaanan nya c Tito Hermie sa hse. Then we arrived at Caltex SLEX at 7am. At kami lang ang VW dun. Sabi ko, "Dadi, naiwan na yata tayo." Sabi nya, "Hindi. 7-8 ng usapan d ko lang cnabi sa inyo." hahaha! Anyway, it's good na rin kase pagdating ng iba nakapag-start na kami magbenta.


VolksWagen Club of the Philippines, Laguna Chapter ...member na 'ko!
Where's my volks? hindi sya kasama. still have some jobs pa na gagawin sa kanya.

Beside me, in blue tee, is Dadi.

It was almost 9am when we started our travel to QC. Syempre sa huli kami ng convoy kze foreigner c Sportie in the group of the cute wheeled toys. One cutie had a prob pa along EDSA but still made it to the venue around lunch time.





PeNDoNG!
lots of volksies here





...there






...and everywhere










We had a good time selling stuff. We've seen and had a chat with lots of different peeps. May Pastor, may Architech, may Lawyer who looks more of a body builder, my mag-jowa, may mag-asawa, mag-nanay, mag-lola, may simpleng Volks enthusiast, gf / asawa ng volks enthusiast na napasama lang at marami pang iba mapa-matanda, bata, lalaki, babae at iba pang sexualidad.

There was an Indian guy who bought a cap. We also had a small chat with him about, what else, Volks and then work. When he learned that Francis is connected with a company in Makati, he asked, "So this is just for fun?". Francis smiled. While I answer, "This is for Fun and for FunDS. We're getting married on Dec." The Indian guy laughed and wished us the best.

LoVeRs in Dubai turned tindera & tindero in QC c",)










After a day of hardwork, we had XXXXX sales. Figures showing how the guys out there are so into VW they would buy all (or any) stuff with VW logo... which is good for business. =) Actually, there were other peeps na shirts din ang items. Talk about competition. But i'm happy everytime na nakikita ko ung items na suot na ng mga bumili.

Here are the items we brought. We still have some stocks which we'll bring in the next VW activities. If also interested with the items, just leave a comment or send me a mail at genevieve.atienza@gmail.com =)

VoLKsie Cap @ PhP 120
(available in 3 colors, as below)



VoLKsie SunVisor @ PhP 75
(available in 2 colors, as below)



WhiTe SHiRT @ Php 200
CoLoReD SHiRT @ PhP 230
sizes: S, M, L, XL (XS sold)



There are three choices of shirt messages:
(1) Enjoy the fun
Ride On... Volkswagen

(2) Feel the Road
Enjoy the Ride
Have a Volkswagen

(3) You'll never know what you're missing 'til you ride Volkswagen

The last one was the most opted slogan. It's my personal favorite, too.
Those txts and also the idea of selling VW items, by the way, are my Dad's ideas.

In the afternoon, Holy Mass was held under the trees and blessing of volksies and their owners followed.

At the end of the day, we brought home learnings from our pagbebenta experience which we shared with Mama. And our eyes were so busog with the VW eye candies.

F1 vs ApPLe

Since I came back from Dubai, Francis spends weekends in our place. (He lives in QC, I live in San Pablo,Laguna) That's the only time we could work on our preps (physically) together.

Last Sunday, was supposedly a working Sun for us.
Task: missalette.

But since we chose to go with my parents and see our newly painted volksie, we didn't have time to accomplish our task in the morning. Afternoon, became a sleeping time. And night was still a rest time.

Okei fine.

It's Sunday. He said we should rest. But i was hoping to have chikahan moments with him. Ang kaso his eyes were so glued to F1 racing he can't even respond to my questions.



Hhhhhmmmmppp!
