Minan will be leaving for SG soon!! And here are some pictures during our overnight stay at BSA tower.

As always, ang sarap ng food na luto ni tita..

We really had fun, so much laughter.. Best set of friends ever! :)

Xbox 360. Kinect. Dance Central 2.

Minan, thaaank you ng madaming madami sa bonding, pagkain at inom. Ingat ka sa SG.. Sabihin mo kay sheemy sumama pa din sya palagi sa gala ng tropa.. Pasalubong pag uwi mo!! :) Good luck and don’t change. See you again soon.

I have mentioned here before that I went Mangrove planting, right? Here are photos taken during that community trip with SMART employees and xbow friends.

We literally walked on a muddy swamp, and planted mangrove propagules (seedlings). I searched for a sample picture in google:

Kuya here is the one in-charge, and was teaching us how to plant the propagules.

Here I was, trying to save the planet. hehehe.

Isn’t it nice to be a friend of nature?

Great love and tragedy come hand in hand. All great love ends tragically, because no one can live forever. -Nicholas Sparks

That day was really tiring.. I arrived at The Podium around 11 in the morning, and found a very long line. I lined up, and eventually had my chance on the draw lots.

I was unlucky. I’ve picked “sorry” from the box.. But I believe that if you didn’t get it the first time, you should just try again.. so I did try again and finally got a printed “YES”!! :) My number though was a little letdown.. hahaha.

Here’s a view of the stage :)

And here is Nicholas Sparks with the lucky host.

See here, how many people came just to have his autograph.

That shot was taken from the 3nd floor.. I stayed there while waiting for my turn. Gaaaad, I’m 904th! Sparks signed up 1000+ books and that is just awesome! :) Hahaha.

I sat on the 3rd floor, and stared at him for 4 hours! I’m shocked that I’m not inlove with him yet. hahahaha.

For those who do not know Nicholas Sparks, here is a brief background. He’s the author behind the bestselling novels, A Walk to Remember and The Notebook. These novels together with Nights in Rodanthe, Dear John and The Last Song, were made into films and naturally made Sparks more popular.

A lot of fans may have loved him for his A Walk to Remember and The Notebook, or his Message in a Bottle.. but The Wedding actually did it for me. I haven’t read The Lucky One yet, but I plan to read it before it shows on movie theaters this 2012.

Here’s my photo with him,

and here’s the signed book

I even got a marker souveneir! :)
