Ilocos Adventure (May 2011)

dear Gelo Belano,

Going for a 3days 2 nights at Ilocos was fun. It was our 2nd out of town trip together. :P

Nakakapagod yet palage namang busog, saya lang din that we get to experienced to live in a farm, meet ilocano kids and very accomodating people. Surely it brings back a lot of childhood memories.

Sa wakas umabot din ako.. (hehehe) everyone's telling me na kaya ko pinamove flight ko earlier para macelebrate ko Valentine's Day! Well isa din yun sa mga reasons ko, kase I am much inlove with you and the thought of being with you on Vday is a moment to remember. Eventhough parang lage naman tayo happy inlove and everytime spent with you is special.

Thank you for making my dreams come true.

I love you so much sweetness!

Happy Valentine's Day Gelo Belano!

.Back in your arms.

Arrived @ Ninoy Aquino Airport , Febuary 2, 2011. Was fetched by Gelo,Nary,Noreen,Russel and Fe (grabe buong baranggay). I really felt welcomed and it felt good being home. I saw the heartwarming sunset and the overlooking sight of the Metro's lights. A week has passed and I already had spent great time with sweetness and some friends! I love it! :) A new year starts now, with my sweetness!

I love you so much!

.Day 111 - 112. Foodtrip in the cold weather

dear Gelo Belano,

Me and Tin had a date and decided to go foodtripping kahet narealize ko na nag-gain nako ng 5lbs. (ahahah) Dyan nalang ako papapayat! First stop namen sa St.Mark's looking for BAMN! automat, para shang stall na ang food nasa parang vending machine pero yung cook nasa likod ng machine. Kaso pagdating namen dun sarado na, kaya napapad kame sa Korean Ramen House. Sakto malamig kaya ok na din kahet medyo maalat.

Ramen @ Kuidouraku

Next agenda hanapin yung Wafels and Dinges na truck. Madame kase dito na nasa side street lang na kung ano-ano food binebenta. Mga sikat na masarap and mura lang. Yet failed ulit kame kase wala sya dun sa location na nakasulat sa website.

So napadpad nalang kame sa cupcake shop called Crumbs bakeshop. Grabe sugar rush! Eh mahileg ako sa cakes kaya naubos namen agad! (hihihi). Sumakit nga lang yung throat ko sa tamis.

*Ang taba ko!Bilog na muka ko* Oh no!

Next punta kame sa Wholefoods (Organic Supermarket). Grabe dame fresh foods ang sarap mag grocery. Meron ding resto and parang to-go foods na per pound. Bu,ile kame ng sweet chili bangkok style chicken wings in a bucket. (Sulit na for $10 kase ipapainit nalang marinated na and yummy too)

*Columbus Circle*

Hay grabe super busog ko. I guess I gained another pound. *Shucks* Dati 100lbs. lang ako, ohwell madame kana makukurot.. :P

1 week nalang sweetness!

*muah* I love you!

Love lots,

Rian Ruiz (Belano)

.Day 108 - 110. Sims3 Attack

Just wanna share to you this pics that I've taken out of boredom. *waaah*

I told mama to buy me all the berries available here since hindi kopa sila natitikman and wala naman tayo nung iba dyan. Strawberries are my fave pero mukang gusto kona silang lahat. Now I'm snacking on them daily (nax healthy). May antioxodant sila kaya magpapabata ng itchura! :P

Hindi pako nakapag excercise simula 2011. Since nawala na yung fit tv na workout show na pinapanuod namen (boo). Hopefully I get a flat tummy pagbalik ko.
