Happy 2016! đ Â
Itâs been almost a year and a half since my âhiatusâ post. It appears that the hibernation took longer than I had planned. -_- Obviously, thecuriousme.com needs a lot of love and some updatingâŚ. đŚ
Anyway… here’s the synopsis on what happened:

Details on my next posts⌠Watch out and chillax! đ mmmmmwa!
Before we went to Palliser Park Marina (the camping site), thereâs been a big mystery on what supper will the Executivesâ (a.k.a. Execs) prepare on the Saturday night of the company outing.
Two execs kept the whole employees guessing… The anticipation heightened when one of them mentioned that it can either be the perfect supper ever or a complete disaster. Ha!
 |
 |
Questions kept popping up especially when people saw one of the Execs digging a pit within the campsite. Eventually, someone let the cat out of the bag before the first camping night was over. So much for the secrecy. đ
 |
|
Apparently, the âspecialâ supper is part of a tradition done in Hawaii and it is called luau. Therefore, the Execs decided to have the VendAsta version of luau  for the first company camping.
Hereâs the summary on how it was done… the VendAsta way:

Result: Epic fail.
But waitâŚ
Being real troopers, that did not dampen the Execsâ spirit. Plan B was thought of in a flash. And the VendAstians helped out to make it happen.
Output: Tasty deep fried whole chicken and grilled pork

(Err… I don’t eat pork so I just had my share of the delicious deep fried chicken which reminded me of the Philippines’ Langhap Sarap Jollibee endorsed by Sarah Geronimo and Gerald Anderson (a.k.a. AshRald) đ )

On a side note, the Philippines has it’s own tradition of roasting pig. The roasted pig is famously called “lechon baboy” and it’s present in almost all occasions like family reunion. Click here to read family reunion article.

P.S. What went wrong on the “luau” thingy, will forever(?) remain an enigma. :p
I know⌠I knowâŚ
Iâve been writing so much about Sarah Geronimo and Gerald Anderson (a.k.a. AshRald or Sasa & Gege) when in fact this is a personal blog, not a showbiz blog. Nonetheless, although Sasa & Gege are celebrities, I still regard the AshRald bond as a personal journey given that I officially belong to the AshRald community.
Donât get it wrong, AshRald is not a cult or something. Itâs the connection of cool and classy individuals brought together through the Sarah and Gerald love waves.

Before I continue blabbering about how awesome to be in the AshRald circle, I need to control myself. 
Letâs get the ball rollingâŚ
I admit Iâm a âhealthâ buff and I do love to work out⌠However, doing it continuously is an enormous challenge. My body is not flexible and since time immemorial, I have difficulty reaching my toes without bending my knees. Itâs bizarre! To think that Iâm so tiny like Tinkerbell. Tsk tsk tsk. The funny thing is, eating non-stop is totally a piece of cake for me and effortless for me. :p
Surprise⌠surprise!  I bought a Mari Winsor Pilates dvd with a pair of  mini âdumbbellsâ sometime last week. Doing Pilates for beginners really felt great but it took a toll on me and I stopped for few months and then, started again, then stopped for few weeks ⌠and the cycle continues on and on and onâŚ

Now, Iâve been dragging myself in doing the simple routines and incorporating some of the things that DJ Mitch (@TheSoulfulVixen) taught me. And to spice it up, Iâve also added the dougie dance moves. Boy! The last one definitely pumped me up! Whoa!
Anyway, slowly but surely. Iâm getting there. Who wants join? Â

I just want to let the whole world to know that Iâm now an official AshRald member!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Iâm on number 585.

Itâs absolutely insane because Iâm too old for this and Iâm not really into this kind of things. I do read celebrity articles but Iâm not an avid fan of anyone until Sasa and Gege (a.k.a. AshRald) became one and even sang âBack at Oneâ. Ha! That sounded like a poem.
Allow me to get this off my chest:
I so love Sasa and Gege and the whole AshRald group!!!
Whoa! The extremely powerful energetic waves that are transmitted is so contagious even if we are all thousand miles apart. Letâs live up to the AshRald name! Be classy, chic, and open-minded. We all know that bashing is for barbarians, right? 
Below are the AshRald WattPad stories that I religiously follow:
Slowly But Surely by borntoshare (Wendelyn Dianne)
*** That creative mind of yours is really amazing! Keep the stories going! đ
*** Thank you for being one of my twitter friends now. đ
Never Gonna Let You Go by Kate Joaquin
*** You’re an excellent writer. I understand sometimes it’s difficult to do self motivation. I also get lazy in updating my blog. LOL One thing that keeps me going are the readers. đ
*** I hope we can also be friends on twitter. đ
What Love Is by JecaMarieGeli
*** Did you know that I’m not fond of Enchong Dee but because of your story, I’m beginning to like him. Ha! You are indeed a powerful and “moving” writer.
*** I hope we can also be friends on twitter. đ

*** waiting for update đ
Fallin’ (Short Story) AshRald Productions by KateJoaquin
*** I hope it becomes a “long” story. đ
I havenât read the English stories⌠for some reason, I prefer reading the AshRald Tagalog WattPad stories. Whatâs wrong with me? Maybe the twitterpated (âkiligâ) factor is more intense if itâs in Tagalog?  Not to worry, when I get the hang of it, Iâll start reading the AshRald English WattPad stories.

Just thinking out loud⌠maybe we can set a schedule and have a worldwide AshRald Connection day eh?
I prefer to call it AshRald Connection because in my point of view, we are not just supporters, we are family… connected because of AshRald. Does it make sense? đ
 |
 |
|---|
How?
1. Set a time and day (in which both Sasa and Gege are free)
*** We may be on different time zones but we need to consider their busy schedule đ
2. Lay out a program / games / Q&A wherein AshRald and AshRaldTOS can participate (which also includes the Popstar Power Couple)
3. Send an email blast to all AshRald and AshRaldTOS members regarding this momentous event and consolidate who can make it and those who canât.
4. AshRald Philippines will gather in one place together with Sasa and Gege
AshRaldTOS will figure out how to meet up in one location per country. If it’s not possible we have to content ourselves in the comfort of our homes and make full use of the power of technology. đ
5. AshRald Philippines and AshRald TOS will all gather via Skype or FaceTime whichever is more appropriate.
It would be great if a committee will be formed to organize this event. I know it’s a crazy idea but we’ll never know. Miracles do happen. đ
Thoughts anyone? đ
P.S.
My heartfelt thanks to the following:
Nicole (@gabriella0225) – for helping me out in the AshRald application
Wendy (@wendelyndianne) – for mentioning my blogsite on twitter and most of all for continuously writing the ever inspiring “Slowly But Surelyâ fan fiction. You rock! đ
AshRald President Ro (@RoroRoar22) – for starting up the AshRald community and for being so accommodating with newbies like me.
Kate (@imissshockends) – for being so kind enough and incredibly patient in answering my silly questions.
kalabaw moo (@kalabaw_moo) – for being so bubbly and friendly.
Abby(@AbbyDenniel) – for being my new twitter friend.
@AshRald and @AshRaldTOS for the warm welcome.
And to all AshRalds who followed me on twitter even if I hibernated for quite sometime… I will make sure that I follow you back. Let me know if I’ve unintentionally missed anyone. đ
In as much as I would like to be a silent follower of Sasa (Sarah Geronimo) & Gege (Gerald Anderson)⌠I must say, I could no longer contain it!  Iâm now a super fan! My little sisters, Fritchie Anderson and DJ Mitch, are now getting infected with my âcontagiousâ admiration for Sasa & Gege! Ha! (Click here to read related article about Sasa & Gege- âbirthâ)

Iâm really going bonkers! Out of the blue (whether Iâm on the street walking or in the work place or wherever), I would âbelt outâ the theme songs of their two (2) movie-team up, I wonât last a day without you and Fallinâ. And of course, its out of tune! :p

Their love team & courtship stage is sending followers all over the world in frenzy! An âoldâ lady like me can even feel a shiver down my spine just by watching them (even if they are just looking at each other!). Their love story is absolutely an epic!

***Note: If you can’t understand Tagalog, just watch their actions. đ
Sarah, being a true blue Filipina (in all ways), is definitely a rare gem! Her preference for her suitors to woo her parents first makes her a  total knock out! 
*** Note: If you can’t understand Tagalog, just watch their actions. đ
Whether we admit it or not, we all dream of this kind of courtship and relationship. By watching Sasa and Gegeâs friendship transform into something special makes us realize that dreams do come true. I guess, thatâs the reason why a lot of people (young and old) are drawn to their blossoming relationship and magical moments. Aside from giving an automatic smile on our face, it certainly gives hope and inspiration to all of us. Â Â Agree?

By respecting their privacy to date freely will definitely ease up the pressure that they are receiving right now. Like what the Popsters, Ashralds, and other Sasa & Gegeâs supporters always say, the best way to help them is to work hand in hand in praying for their relationship to last a lifetime. They deserve it! Letâs unite in spreading positive vibes!
Now, while patiently waiting for the next chapter of their love story⌠Iâll continue reading Kate Joaquinâs âNever Gonna Let You Go â AshRald Fan Fictionâ and BornToShareâs (Does anyone know BornToShareâs real name?) âSlowly But Surely â AshRald Fan Fictionâ. âAshRald Fan Fictionsâ are  an ongoing imaginary tale about Sasa & Gege.
*** Note: I havenât met Kate yet but I saw her âscriptâ via Facebook. Sheâs a 17-year old fan of Sasa & Gege. And she has the making of an excellent writer! Whoa! I suggest you check it out. Keep it up Kate! đ Â
*** Note:I just discovered the Slowly But Surely – AshRald Fan Fiction! Â Please give me a buzz if you know the writer’s name so that I can post it on my blog. đ I’m so excited to start reading it. I’m sure it’s as awesome as Never Gonna Let You Go. Wheeey! Â Way to go BornToShare! đ
***Update: I’ve read Slowly But Surely and I admit… I cried!!!!!!!!!! OMG! Wendelyn Dianne (@wendelyndianne)  is such a passionate writer! You betcha! Finally, after researching her name for ages, I found it! Thanks to Kate (@imisshockends) for ending my “agony”. đ I’m just so happy because they are also now my twitter friends. I love AshRald and AshRaldTOS! đÂ
P.S. OMG, did I just sound like a PR Manager for Sasa & Gege?

It felt like a million years had passed since my last post. Ha! Did you miss me?
We had a long weekend last week but for some reason, I did not manage to write even a single article. I was able to rest, recharge, and unwind for a bit though.
Anyhow, last Sunday night, I was fiddling with my phone and checking some Filipino YouTube videos when I saw Sarah Geronimo and Gerald Andersonâs production number in ABS-CBNâs variety show, ASAP. Their âelectrifying chemistryâ was so evident that I felt some goosebumps while watching them. Sarah and Gerald (a.k.a. Sasa & Gege) are both famous celebrities in the Philippines (and all over the world where there is a Filipino channel).

So, why am I blabbering about them? Honestly, Iâm not an avid fan. However, after spending 3 hours of my Sunday night and 12 hours of my Monday searching YouTube videos about them, I was completely hooked! Itâs crazy! I canât stop giggling and smiling while watching their interviews, production numbers, the âSasa & Gegeâ web show, and most especially the series of enchanting videos on the Sasa & Gege âloveâ story made by the Ashrald (group of avid Sasa & Gege fans). I was totally impressed!

Iâm fully aware that Iâm too old for this twitterpated (a.k.a. âkiligâ) moments but what the heck. I canât help it! :p Watching Sasa and Gege is a perfect stress reliever! What I find it endearing is that, they emit sparks and positive energy without being sensual. Itâs similar to NOT wearing revealing clothes yet you still exude x-factor and undeniable appeal. You know what I mean.;)

Sasa and Gege is such a refreshing pair. I like Sasa because sheâs the epitome of a true blue Filipina. She deserves to be happy and free.

Truly, Sasa & Gege is a birth of a new smile… new hope… and new love(?). Â đ
