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...

The last party I've been to was Lorry's in August, so I guess I was getting lazy to dress up for the occasion. I actually had second thoughts in joining the debut, but I decided to go. Why? Viel is one of the best people I know. (♡＾▽＾♡) It wouldn't feel right to not be there. SADLY, I didn't have a gift prepared, since I never went out anymore. I spent my days bed ridden, watching television.  (¬‿¬)  It's a sad life, kids. Anyways, I just took a simple black dress, put on some heels and went over to Page's to get my haggard face colored. Cathy was already there, claiming that she's prepared herself for the debut since noon. Make up followed, more chit chat until we finally journeyed to Marco Hotel for the party. Sir Alger took the time to drop Page, Cathy, Shane and me there. Penda was there by the front desk already. She was like so early. She also surprised me with a gift! So sweet!  (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)  I haven't even got her one.  We struggled as we wa...

18.  Plans/dreams/goals you have I don't like to plan so far ahead. They often don't happen the way I pictured them to be. But for the sake of this challenge, I'll just have to think of some. I want to graduate Chemistry, within four years. I don't want to prolong my stay in Uni, but I think my thesis will definitely hold me back like the other super seniors. After that, I could probably look for a stable job. AND THEN I WOULD HAVE MY OWN LABORATORY LIKE DEXTER! It has to be in my house, and it has to be huge! It has to have a complete list of chemicals I can use, and the laboratory apparatus needed! I guess that's partly why I wanted to become a chemist. IT WOULD BE AWESOME to have my PERSONAL LABORATORY. I want to invent something, experiment on something, discover something new with my own hands. I guess I want to be  able to control something, and be able to manipulate it in ways I want it to act. It's like playing around, but being paid i...

16. Another picture of yourself (baby pic!) I didn't have time to scan and everything. I ended up taking pictures of old pictures. It's of very low quality. I guess it will have to do! Onwards to little me! This is me with a doggie plushie that's bigger than me. I guess I was always a dog person ever since I was young. I'm so smiling. My mama and me on the hammock! This was me. I guess I was only a few days old. Look at my papa! SO YOUNG ! My tito too! He's twenty eight now! My mama. She's so young too! I think she was 21 here.

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...
