Cheers To Anew
{Posted on Sat, Dec. 31, 2011 | }
In a few hours from now, the year is once again going to come to an end. Another new beginning for most and other chance to make up for the wrong doings. Before anything else, I’d like to once again apologize for neglecting this poor little blog. -_- As usual, my regular dilemma goes on. I’ve been busy with tons of school activities and those quarterly finals which I know all students dislike.
To welcome myself back *lol* I decided to revamp the looks of this blog and try something new. After all since a new year is coming I guess we should start trying new things; so my current theme is actually the second light theme I’ve had and I actually like its simplicity. Since I’ve been gone, a lot of things have been happening and have happened. Let me share with one some of them.
Here is one of the pictures from my trip to my dad’s province approximately a week ago. The picture was taken in Jawili Falls. My trip to his province was quite a memorable one both in good and bad ways. I’ve met a whole bunch of new faces and family members and went to tons of new place and did tons of new things but it seems like my vacation there had a lot of downs as well. As always, there were tons of problems and family drama that were discussed around me and behind me and as usual, I just kept my mouth shut. -_- After all, that was my first time and I told myself I wouldn’t think about it, so I didn’t! The trip was good since I was able to once again sleep for long hours and my eye bags decided to go away after a few years. Moving on.

The picture above was from Charmaine’s mini meet and greet a few days ago in Greenbelt. We’ve actually been planning this for a long time now. I’m happy that it finally happened. Ate Char is more famous as one of YouTube’s make-up and fashion gurus, beb3dollxoxo. If you’re wondering who the other people are, let me introduce them. Next to me is Rina then there’s Charmaine and her lilbro, then Sai and Ace. It was actually a blast meeting my fellow bloggers and I hope we get more chances to meet others as well.
So cheers to the new year, let’s all have a blast and tomorrow it marks another new journey. HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS! >:D<
QUESTIONS! :>
1. What are you doing to celebrate the new year? Are you currently having a blast or did you enjoy?
2. Have you tried meeting up with a friend you’ve known for a long time online?
3. What’s currently keeping you busy? :D
My Semestral Break
{Posted on Sun, Nov. 06, 2011 | }
To start this blog post, semestral break is like a term break just so you know. The ones we have in my country last only for a week or more. It usually occurs on the last week of October and coincides with halloween. My break has been truly a one to remember. Let me tell you about it.
October 24 and 25, Monday and Tuesday. The first two days I spent in the office working since there was only one manager and another one was needed to watch over the employees. There weren’t much to do in the office, I’d get called a few moments for something and that’s about it. I spent most of the time in the office Skyping with some friends. First time I’ve tried Skype’s group video calling, too bad it ain’t free. -.-
October 26 and 27, Wednesday and Thursday. My days off work. I spent them two malls with two sets of friends. Fantastic days especially Thursday. I was with friends who had this craze for a certain kind of frozen yogurt which also got me in. Haha, I can’t blame them, Red Mango tastes so darn good. We also watched Praybeyt Benjamin (Private Benjamin), a comedy-drama movie, it really made us laugh hard, especially me since I watched it twice. T’was all great and fun. :P
October 30, 31, 1, 2. Sunday till Wednesday. The long awaited days off to Thailand. My mum and I started planning it as early as March. We even coordinated the dates with each other. We really decided to take the time off and relax. We went to four places in Thailand, namely, Bangkok, Samut Prakan, Krabi and Phuket.
Bangkok was indeed a busy city with everyone living their fast paced lives. Samut Prakan is where their airport is located, mind you, the airport in a real biggie. Its just like the Hong Kong International Airport. All the time I was in the airport, I was either eating or running around to catch the next flight to the next place. Phuket is an island an hour and a half away by plane from Samut Prakan. This was where we spent the majority of our time. Shopping in Phuket is really the main thing I wanted to do. I was able to buy all my Christmas gifts as early as now! Haha, believe it or not, the prices on price tags still can be bargained for 25 to 30% off! Krabi is just off the coast of Phuket and is accessible my a 30 minute speed boat ride. It has tons of beaches, by tons, I mean more than 10, that surround it. During my trip, I’ve learned a lot of things and made a lot of friends. I can now walk in the streets of Thailand and be confident not to get lost because my Thai has improved! Haha. Since the people in Phuket weren’t I can even speak it with the accent. I also managed to fool some fellow Filipinos on the flight back home that I was Thai. lol People from South East Asia actually look quite a like, you would only notice the difference when you hear them speak. I had a lot of firsts too in my trip. Over all, I had a wonderful experience and if you’d ask me, I’d like to do it all over again but for a longer amount of time.
The break is over and everything is once again back to how it used to be. School events are also over thus really bringing everything back to normal again. Here we go again with 9 hours straight of studying. Hahaha! :P
