MOALBOAL - once again!

A week ago, I and my colleagues at work went back to Moalboal for another team outing – probably the last for the team. We will be dispersed with our new schedules and will have new teammates and team leaders. In a sudden, all of us just wanted to come together have fun and maybe forget for a while what will happen to the team. It’s sad the we wont be a team anymore, the past 9 months have been memorable, marked by moments I will remember for long – the fun was like high school fun and the laughs are those that would make your jaws grow stiff. It has been a ride but moving on is part of this journey. We can only hope we have prepared each other to become better persons.

Anyway, too much of the of the mushy stuff. Have I mentioned already we were there to have fun? Two hours down South of Cebu ain’t worth it if we’d just spend our time there wallowing on what’s to happen. So, with a few bottles of beer, food and a few dips of the clean waters of Moalboal, we made our last outing a blast!

I have taken a few photos of two of my newly adopted pets. I have always wanted to have a pet but from where I live it would be a disaster to own one. I didn’t stop trying until I met two very unlikely creatures along Colon Street. I was trying to exchange the airbed I bought at Gaisano Metro (I had the bed for a day and it diffuses. Turned out it had a small hole where the air could escape) when I saw ukay2 stuffed toys through the glass window of a store. It was like I was destined to be at that part i of the busy Colon Street. Among hundreds in a mountain of stuffed toys piled up I met Bloo – a blue horse with his underwear worn on his head for reasons I am yet to uncover- and Baboi – a maong jacket-wearing lion who seems to suit better in a life of travel rather than rot on a high chair in the jungle. It was like they were there waiting for me all this time, so I picked em up and named 'em. From now on, I will be carrying them wherever I might be traveling and will be capturing places with them as well, my models. It’s frustrating seeing the progression of my weight in my own blog so I figured it would be better if I have somebody else instead.

The idea came from the movie Amelie. I recently relived the adventures of Amelie where I got the genius idea of taking photos of my subjects – Bloo and Baboi (B&B) – at interesting places I find myself. In the movie, Amelie robbed her dad's dwarf statue which had been displayed in their garden. Her dad was confused who would gave a fart robbing such an ugly dwarf (it's not really ugly, LOL). Amelie sent photos of the statue featuring some of the world's most famous places. It took quite a long time for her dad to process that the dwarf wanted him to travel. The dwarf returned safely one day, tucked neatly in a corner of the garden with a smile that Amelie's dad envied. Dad decided to pack up and travel. I had watched the movie thrice – it's funny. Amelie had so much ideas going on. Little did she know, she gave me one.

I find my two new buddies cute, so they are debuting here in our Moalboal trip where the two definitely had fun under the sun.


Living up to their dream - hot hot models!. .Simply fieeerrrceee..



Having a great time playing. Don't they look natural? ..tsk tsk



Stuffed toys reflect on their lives too.





















My TL also raises her own dog - Brennan. The three got together for a souvenir. Looks like they enjoyed more the Moalboal trip....Good thing they are too independent we don't need to look after them all the time. Tsk tsk...



And here comes me---- posing with my pets..hahahha
