Hanging Out

Let's see if these folks can pass as actors. One shot is a true candid and one is a true fake. Is it the one on left or the one on the right? Vote now!

With CEMM Racers, Damsels in Success, Visitor's Welcome, Newshounds, and the RB Addicts

Jonathan's Worst Nightmare

Jonathan woke up telling about a bad dream that he just had....

The dream started with a blurry vision of people scattered at what seemed like the sidewalk right by at Irwin Bank....

Then he saw us, team ROTT! Melissa and Mandy were with us looking great and radiant as usual, but he was not too convinced about OUR fashion statement...


The scene jumped into Tamera's studio at One Body One Soul. Still looking harassed and exhausted, a sip of Sangria and listening to a little poetry were just what we needed.

The picture went back to the streets of Washington, where he saw a lot of weird things happening --- dogs all fussed up, kids hair uncombed, some girl's hair burning up.... people all around had really bad hair! There was even a Colts fanatic shouting like a crazy man. What's going on???!!!

Change of scene again.....now we were in a grocery buying milk. In his dream, he just thought he must be needing that milk pretty badly to be going shopping in his PJs. Talk about the perfect time to do it. But yeah, a dream's a dream coz he would be totally out of his mind if he was to do this for real.

Third Anytime Challenge

Minutes of the Meeting
(Click to enlarge)

The City Council had a lot to discuss that day so the meeting room was jampacked. In fact, the room was so full that there were also several people standing outside, including us. Some topics include a book to be published entitled "Pay it Forward" and then there were also issues on the bike trail.

Fourth Anytime Challenge

It was a nice Monday afternoon when the Tri-TANs and the Justice League met up. We have been planning to go to Irwin Gardens, but it just so happens that when we got there, the garden was..... CLOSED???!!! With 4 brains (and a half?), it did not even cross anybody's mind that the garden needed its day off too. =)





We needed to get in. We have no other choice. So, we took it upon ourselves to do what we gotta do, and the rest is history..... Nah! Who are we kidding?! We just had to enjoy the view from outside =( ...... and then we all set off to Mill Race for a little picnic chat.

So time for a little Justice League. We learned that....

JEN

RAYANN

Works as a Physical Therapist at CHR

Has August 2008 marked as her most special month and year to date (Why?That's for us to know and for the rest to find out)

Here's TAKE TWO!

So here we are back to the Irwin Gardens.... this time we got in (nyahahaha) and with a new set of team with us.... the RB Addicts!! We got to take a picture with the elephant again just like we did last year. This fella is so famous we should probably name him already.

We really enjoyed the afternoon with the Addicts (uh...that didn't came out right), so much that we didn't notice it was almost 5pm already (we met around 12 noon). Barbi was also starting to feel chilly because it was quite cold and windy especially with us staying under the shade. We also felt bad for Page (did I spell it right?) who's staying at home at the Chandler's residence alone and hungry.

I have visited the blogsite of the RB Addicts, and their despcriptions were right on the mark. But I must say, we have a few inputs ourselves of what WE, in turn, found out about YOU guys. Brace yourselves...

BARBI

--> Loves to go to Ikea stores!

-->Has been to Irwin Garden several times because of her interest in gardens, flowers and herbs.

-->Says she is an introvert but will just surprise you when you get to chat with her

DAVE

Thinks that personality is the most important thing in a girl (hmm... but she still needs to be adventurous)

Keeps several ringback tones in his cell... and quite interesting ones too.

Is eyeing the Helicopter tour prize that we are going to sell to him (hehe right Dave?)

CARL

--> Has a unique perception on life and death

-->Better half of Barbi ; Has a "great Dad" potential

-->Doesn't smile on posed shots. We noticed it when we were trying to cut out a pic for this segment, that's why we cropped a candid shot instead =)

First Pilates Experience

We were greeted warmly by Ms. Tamera Pauli, founder of One Body One Soul, as we arrived in her studio early Saturday morning. To start off, she gave us each a glass of Mimosa to give that relaxed and "in the moooooood" feeling.

This was the whole Pilates class, led by Lorraine (frontmost in white), doing the "Mermaid Pose."

Iynigo found himself a new set of toys to play with!

Before leaving, we saw familiar faces from Yoga class, composed of Newshounds, RB Addicts, and Tails of Joey and Daisy. They looked so refreshed and energized and more than ready to hit the mat! Hmm.. I'd better make me one of those Mimosas at home.

Rendezvous with the Newshounds

Tre Bicchieri was the downtown place chosen by the two teams to meet. Being able to dine in this place for the first time, we were quite excited. You can't hide that fact from our captain who was eager to find out what's on the menu.

With the man who runs Tre Bicchieri, Ike Declue, who also happens to be Kelsey's boyfriend.

PAIGE

Loves Pesto (Yummm... who doesn't!!??)

Has an adventurous side to her. In fact, she just went white water rafting while vacationing in South Carolina.

KELSEY

Loves her job in the Republic and waits part time at Tre Bicchieri

May seem like a city girl but really likes it here in Columbus where it is less crazy

We had a nice time and overall, the food was great! Before we left, all of us took one last pose below this sign which says " Enter As Strangers .... Leave as Friends." Pretty nice, huh.
