Summer of 2005 must have been my busiest yet, with all the gimiks, outings and even seminars that I attended. I began this month with a Life in the Spirit seminar at the PACEM Novitiate House in Antipolo City and I got to see all the folks from Good Shepherd again.

Another big event this May was the big move of the DES department to the next door office. Then of course Stephen, a former officemate in GS, got married to his girlfriend Lovely, last May 7 at Muntinlupa. We also celebrated Mother’s Day at home with my brother’s girlfriend Janice.
Ma got us a cute little puppy that I promptly named baby Blogger but he died after a few days. He was then replaced by his sibling, a white pup that I call Blogger II.

In the workplace, I’ve become a dedicated blogger specialist so I’ve been introduced to the world of RSS feeds, headline animators and blog search engines.

Last May 15, my blockmates and I went back to our alma mater to play badminton, go jogging and eat at our favorite restaurant, Chocolate Kiss, at the UP Bahay ng Alumni. On May 19, our community celebrated our annual fiesta with bands, contests and sports fests.

I also went back to Enchanted Kingdom just 29 days since I went there. Ryan hadn’t been there since our field trip during our senior year in High school! Highlights of the trip include watching a 4D movie for the first time and getting to win a stuffed toy tarsier at the Safari Shootout using a crossbow.

Finally, the last weekend of May was spent in Mount Daguldol, San Juan, Batangas, where Jasper and I joined the Talikasan of the UP Mountaineers. I got to meet some wonderful people and I hope to see them again soon in our post-climb and when I sign up for their organization’s snorkelling lessons this schoolyear.

May 2005 has been magical and memorable and I can’t wait to create even better memories next summer.
