portrait of a girl

After Viel's Debut, I ended up back in our house. Vacations are the only time I can really rest, since my course requires mind blowing efforts. Like any normal teenager, I was on the internet a lot. I spent time with my cousins goofing around. I watched television. I went out with my family to watch movies (The Strangers is a respectable enough film). Basically, everything was smooth. The highlights of the rest of the days were: New Year's Eve Celebration and GATB Meet-up/First Day of School/ Thursday Madness. I will talk about all that in this post, to make up for my extended disappearance in the blogging community. NEW YEARS EVE Remember when I said that our family liked to celebrate every holiday together at my Grandma's? Well, obviously New Year's Eve was no exception. This time, we didn't have gifts in hand. However, we had our pouches ready. We were getting ready for-- I'll talk about that later. We bought food to share, and so did everyone else in t...

5 . A picture of somewhere you’ve been to I've been to a lot of places, but I'd love to advertise this small island in Mindanao. It's pretty far from the city, but Duka Bay is still farther away. From the city, it takes approximately two hours to arrive there. It's a soulful place, and it's mostly visited during Holy Week. We went there at Thursday, before Black Friday. We actually when there on a whim, but it was the  nice kind of impulsiveness. Mom already warned us that the way up would be tiring, and IT FREAKING IS. I feel like the stations are getting farther and farther as you start getting up. It's pretty steep, but the view is absolutely breath taking! This was a picture on the way up. I think it was the sixth, so we weren't that high up yet. Still not at the top. This part shows a big fish pond, or something like that. I'm not quite sure what it is there. This is my favorite picture. The sky and the seas look as if th...

For those who don't know this, being in a long term relationship entails at some point you run out of new things to do together. Watching movies together, taking walks together, going home together, playing computer games together. . It starts to get normal after, I dont know. . Four years maybe? All that lovey dovey stuff is not going to be enough to keep young hearts entertained. Anyways, it's hard to look for a hobby as a couple. We, at some desperate point, even tried making a notebook, like a GATB notebook. Not once, but twice! We even tried to make letters for each other, which I admit is pretty gay. We also tried having MMK dates, via texting. Lame, lame, lame. Every fun hobby seems to be only good for one. So one afternoon and a pizza, we cooked up a delicious idea! Haha. Cooked up. We decided to have food marathons (ADVENTURES OF FOOD BOY & GIRL), as we ate a slice of pizza from a Greenwich take-out stand. Actually, we just wanted to buy one whole pizza ...
