My 1 Week Vacation Day 1 and 2

May 4, 2011 -- DAY 1

Our departure time was 4:00 am! I decided not to sleep anymore since we had to be in the airport at 2:00 am. I just slept all through the ride. A few minutes before we landed, the sun rose and it was a beautiful way to start our vacation.

That's me under the purple scarf-- sleeping.

Good morning Luzon!

We landed in NAIA terminal 3 which was awesome!! I love the new terminal. It's bigger and cleaner. Thing is, it doesn't have lots of seats/ benches.

We went straight to Everest Hills Memorial Park to visit my grandparents. Then to McDonalds for breakfast! I ate so much and sooooo fast. Poof! My food was gone. Haha Then headed off to Bayanan. I love the view from our room. Since it was near the Laguna Lake, fresh air just kept on blowing in. My sisters and I slept from 8 am to 4 pm.

Thennn off to my Aunt's --who was getting married (the reason why we went to Manila) and who lives in Canada -- condominium to meet up with them. I finally met Noah! He's my cousin's son. Cute!! Then we, the young ones went to MOA.

Meet Noah Zakai. Cutest baby alive!!

Steph, Steven and Noah

I finally met Steph too! She's so pretty and so nice. You wouldn't believe she gave birth to Noah. She too sexy. :D

May 5, 2011 -- DAY 2

I woke up missing Mike. Good thing I brought Moopy with me!!

Day 2 was Give-Away-Packing Day. Pack, pack, pack!

Beach stuff in the bayongs.

I was assigned to write the labels for the bayongs.

Rest time with Noah :)

My sister's favorite posey cat.

Cousins!!

When Boredom Strikes

I got really bored this afternoon so what I did was go to my room, turn on my iPod, listen to some crazy music then put some nail polish on. I was going out of my mind, good thing Mike and I were texting. And it rained!!!! Summer here has been really really hot. Anyway, yes. This is what I did. My Aunt gave us some MAC make-up and stuff so I decided it's high time to try the nail polish out.

Check out the nail polish details here.

Monthly Dinner with The WWP

After the longest time, the girls and I (with the guys) finally had our once-a-month-get-together (April 8, 2011). We ate dinner at Joed's Lutong Hapon at San Jose de la Montaña, Mabolo then headed to Starting Point at Panagdait, Mabolo from drinks and some chilling.

It was great to see the girls and the guys after a very long time. School has been hectic and we all just decided to wait until the calm after the storm (storm meaning all the graduation concerns such as requirements, appointments, etc.). A 90210 casting happened and I ended up being Annie. Not too thrilled about that.

Conversations usually revolved around after-grad-plans, how the food was, new gossip and crazy antics. ^_^

P.S. I missed Camay and Jysha. See you guys some other time. :)

Next stop of WWP: Simply J's.

Facade '11: Psychology Graduation Ball

So I went through my facebook photos and I realized that I have not talked about my Graduation Ball and my Graduation Rites.

Yes, I am now officially a BS Psychology graduate and I am officially unemployed.

Anyway, our Graduation Ball was at Marriott Hotel which happened on March 19, 2011. Apparently, I was the white swan while Alen was the black swan. I was cool seeing my batchmates in human form. Haha

World Equals Amoral Toilet Bowl?

“The world’s one giant amoral toilet bowl and one day we’ll all get flushed.” is one of Julie Copper’s famous line from the teen series The O.C. This line may be true for some, but I beg to differ. Yes, the world may suck some life from us through the challenges, trials, problems and the like that it presents to us but it all comes down to the way one views, handles and copes with these kind of situations. I believe I know myself pretty well. I know who I am… My likes, dislikes, fears, dreams and ambitions... I admit, there may be times of confusion but I always try to be true to myself. For one thing, I know that the difficulties I encounter are pieces of cake, waiting for me to eat them all up. I know I can overcome them and most probably get the result that I want. I know in time thing will be in place, either I put them in place or they just fell in place. I know that even in difficult times, I will still laugh a lot and still try to be funny. But I admit, I know I can’t do it all on my own and I know I won’t always win.

November 23, 2010 was a simple day for me. The world presented itself the way it should have. It took no B.S. that day (B.S. as in the initials for a bad word). All was good – no hassles, no ignorant buffoons trying to ruin my day, no nothing. Cultural Anthropology that day was interesting. I thought 1.“Hey, this class is very similar to my Filipino/Cultural Psychology class. I may adjust well enough.” One thing that kept bothering me? 2.The fact that I knew only one other person in class. Who on earth are these people surrounding me? Another thing that bothered me, 3.“When will my dad win the lottery?” One more thing, 4.“I miss someone.” Why did I think of these, you ask? 1. I’m hoping I can do well in this class so I can keep my grades up and can graduate on time. 2. I feel out of place, an outsider. 3. I really want to go shopping, travel and start my own business. 4. I just do. No explanations needed.

Rewind… I mentioned earlier that I know myself pretty well and I also mentioned I want to graduate on time. Well, not to sound so assuming but I know I will graduate on time. And after graduation, I shall reward myself with a long vacation (since I have been taking summer classes ever since first year even if I wasn’t required too. I just wanted to lighten my load for the upcoming semesters) wherein a lot of bumming will be involved. Once I’ll get a job; a great paying job that is, I shall buy my parents a new house and anything they want, go bonding with my sisters and travel the world. “Soul searching” is on my list too. I will get married and have babies and MAYBE live happily ever after. By the way, did I mention I will earn my first million by the time I turn 24. I will be big someday, although I’m not sure in what way. But I will. Too ambitious? I think so too. But hey, that’s me.

For Keeps

I prefer to surround myself with REAL people.

I love you guys! :)
