A Potential To Be Part Of Haraya?

I have talked to one of the Haraya, a local newspaper, people just minutes ago through YM. We discussed the possibility of me being part of the paper. And what can I say about it? Sweet!!! Some few months ago, I read one of the papers that are out on the circulation , but didn't get myself burying my nose from cover to cover. But even though I only happen to read one article from that paper, I already thought myself being a part of the group who worked hard to release Haraya on the local circulation. But that was just a thought - nothing else. I wasn't so sure then how I could penetrate the group. I don't know anyone close to me who is connected to Haraya, so I wasn't actually ardent at getting into them. Besides, I don't trust my writing skills yet. So, that thought of writing for Haraya ended there.

Until one day, Troy, a close friend, and I were taking our snacks at the University canteen. He accidentally mentioned Haraya and knowing I've been an online writer for the past four years, he asked me if I want to be part of it. I said yes, but that answer was the result of my subconscious only talking. He said, he'll give my contacts to a one person connected to the paper. I wasn't so serious about that talk, so was I so surprised when Erik, supposedly the "hubby" of Arcee, a former co-writer at USAUTOPARTS NETWORK, talked to me about my potential to be part of Haraya. Our initial talk was fun because I mistook him as the Fred I knew as the hubby of Joya, a former colleague at the University. I don't have any inkling that he was actually the man whom Troy gave my contacts. So, boy, was I so surprised to hear from him! And we talked how I can go into the group. He asked me things and suggested what to do and how I can contribute to the paper.

Now, I'm looking at things the most positive way. Suddenly, I am gonna be doing things I love doing and things that I knew would help grow me into an even finer personality. Although, I still don't trust myself prospering into this one aspect of my life, at least, I could say in the future -- I have tried it. Right? First thing I'd do is to meet Haraya people. On friday, we're gonna be attending an event at Chateau Noveau. I'm gonna be watching how they are gonna showcase their artistic minds as well as learning how they cover such an event. Let's see how I fare into this one, eh? So, all luck to me now!

My Only Photo During Usautoparts Network 2-Day Weekend Getaway!

We look rather cute in here, right Pinkistah? lol! It was the only digi-photo taken that luckily I got included with during our Team Building Activity on May 17-18, held at Pitogo Beach, San Antonio, Pilar Sorsogon. I was probably too busy chit-chatting with the girls from the IMS Department, and at times with my cousin and his wife, plus, too occupied enjoying the green scenery so much so that I haven't paid attention to all photograph sessions going on.

It would have been so much fun to capture all nooks and crannies of the beach place. I love it there! It was the kind that is unpretentious, still unexploited nature with rich grass aroma wafting through the afternoon air, morning sea breeze enveloping you as you rouse up from a good night's sleep and face what the day can offer you. It is all about pure nature - exactly my kind of place where I can just settle myself on a lounge chair and read my fave novel book, or be with my Other Half, just the two of us, and spend an entire week just being with him.

Isn't that romantic? And carefree too? Without others disturbing you? Geezz, I am dreaming... When can that ever happen? Wake up, Jirl!

Anyway, photo above was taken on the first day of our 2-day-rest-from-work adventure. I was late (anything new?Ü), or rather, we (with my cousin Mong, who's a non-USAUTOPARTS network employee) we're late. In fact, we arrived half a day late (hehehe).

I wouldn't delve too much how we got there commuting on our own, roughly 1-hr van ride + 30-min looonng tricy ride and all; but I would say, it was one of the best bonding moments with my dear cousin. Proof is the photo at the right taken with my cam mobile phone while on our way to a 1km-exhaustive-yet-fun-walking-trip to the beach resort. Isn't that right, Mong? All in all, I enjoyed the weekend getaway although I did nothing but sit, have a girlie talk, and feast my eyes on the place' wondrous beauty, I'm hoping there'd be another in the future like this.
