a roller coaster of emotions

oh what a day ... twenty four hours of every emotion possible. at the beginning of the day i was excited, giddy and scared and by the end i was still scared but the floodgates opened and that crying thing happened again. geez. those darn things called hormones. so many things to say yet how to express them? only He alone knows. and really my heart is in it. i'm trying. i really am. i continue to pray for guidance and strength. anyway, on to happier thoughts. here are the pix from recharge.
here are the fearful ... i mean fearless ... leaders of batch 33
jay, toots and reg
the kims - lovette, fil and lara i don't know why there's 2
here's that electricity game ... hehehe ... keeps scrolling for the highlight - this is the male dominant team ... jay, day, pia,
mel, brian, mickee , dex and fil
cristina was the facilitator and then the girl dominant team - kirs, em and eileen,
jerome, cici
reg and joe ... what a bunch of hams team 2 is!
of course, that was my team... hehe
ok ... here's the highlight and reg's reaction to another reg-ism moment. cristina was explaining the next added rule to the game. she said that she would ask a question and in addition to squeezing hands, we had to answer the question. cristina did say she would ask a "yes/no" question but then decided to change it up.
Cristina: "boy or girl"
Reg (excitedly) : "NO!"
all of us: WHAT?!?!?!?!?
and we all started cracking up - including Reg herself - who we see here, doubled over in laughter and/or embarassment. oh Reg.

back in the house ... cici and day ... our fiscal duo
here's the bowl for Days bowl and our Irvine kiddos
so I had to be the first to go and pick and Cristina only put 2 "double time" dance things in and guess who got #1? me of course ... adrian was my partner and we cha cha'd
and then, karma kicked cristina in the butt and guess who was number 2? cristina

guess who got the 2 out of 2 "double time" dance things? cristina . HAHA!
she landed between reg and pia so they rock, paper, scissors'd for the partner ... reg lost and had to dance with cristina. they did a cute little choreographed number. the three people that don't dance (me, cristina and reg) got the dancing thing.
here's our next activity ... what was it called? "oh captain, my captain?" something like that.
i don't know if jerome is "arrrr"ing or he's "ahhh"ing because he lost to joe
these are joe's sailors
he took them down one by one ... dana was second to last ...
and then he conquered pia ... if joe were filipino, we'd all go for him ... hahaha in jerome's words "even if joe wasn't filipino, we'd still go for him" oh, boys.
and we end with Days' songs played by cristina and sung by us.
and here's cressa's cameo.
and look, we had a batch 26 reunion - hehe - does 4 out of 15 count? eileen, cristina, dana, me, lovette (our vice) and dex (our rector) with lara look - lovette and dexie match lara's outfit
we went to Mass at St. Denis and then met up with the Braganzas for dinner at Salo Salo. it was yummy filipino bbq grill.
these are the three girls trying to console baby Lara. you think they can handle?


then i met up with joey at his friend/cousin's house for a bbq. i asked him at the end of the night if he saw KJ in me and he said "you're my biggest source" thanks bub, i needed that. thanks to my other 2 AM phone call too! ur the best! muah!
