Hello there! In my last post, I said that I would be blogging about our trip to Batangas if I didn’t pass out. Well I did so here I am making up for yesterday’s supposed to be post! Haha! Anyway, let me take you through what happened yesterday with photos! :)

Someone from my Mama’s side of the family died. I wasn’t really supposed to go because 1. I had AM duty the next day, 2. I still haven’t recovered from the week before (PM duty and Midterms week. How I survived I do not know) and 3. because no matter how hard I try I couldn’t set my body clock back on track and ended up reading a book until I fell asleep. So anyway, the following morning my Papa went in my room to make sure I wasn’t coming with them. For some unfathomable reason I went up, showered and dressed while all the while acting (and looking) like a zombie. Sobrang antok and sabaw ko lang! I was the last one to get ready and they were in a hurry to leave, so I didn’t have the time to put make up on (let alone brush my hair!) Haha!

Fact: I can survive without brushing my hair. I can survive without putting make up on. But I cannot, I repeat, cannot survive a long road trip without bringing any food with me. I do not know how I managed to make coffee and stuff tikoy in ziplock bags in less than a minute, but you know, food does that to you. Haha! Also, I just have to say this. I love Tikoy! It was Chinese New Year yesterday so the house was full of it. I wish I could eat Tikoy all year round! :)

Another fact: I love reading books so much that I read books during the times when I’m supposed to be catching up on sleep. I’m currently rereading American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I have been rereading a lot of books recently. I’ve had these books since I cannot remember when. I think I had them when I was 15 or so. I reread books because I want a newer perspective, now that I am older. I don’t know if I’m making sense right now, but yeah. Haha! :)

So anyway, here are more photos!

Hello, Batangas!

Big Bulalo pots. I love Bulalo! It’s one of my all time favorite ulam!

When I ran out of food and when my eyes started sending “Cha stop reading we beg you!” messages to my brain, I started taking photos of the fields and the sky. This is another random thing I always do during road trips. I do not know why. I’m so weird haha!

I know this post is so full of “facts” but here’s another one: I haven’t seen the ocean in three or so years (if I remember correctly, that is) The place we went to wasn’t really one of those sandy beaches but I couldn’t help but get excited on seeing the ocean once again. My sibs and I would scream “beach!” in very annoying high pitched voices every time we see a glimpse of ocean water behind the trees and houses. Haha! First time in a long time eh. Pagbigyan! :P

Tommy and Andrei.

This was me screaming (though I doubt you can see it in the photo) when I almost got wet by the water. Please do not think I’m maarte or something. I’m really actually a cowgirl at heart and I’m game for anything. It’s just that I wore the first things I saw in my closet that day (Obvious naman diba? Tingnan niyo naman suot ko. Haha!) and I didn’t even think of bringing slippers so getting wet feet wasn’t an option. Haha! :P

By the way, please excuse the quality of the photos. I still do not have my camera with me. I only used mobile phones for these. (Hire me! I’m raising money to get my camera fixed!) :D

Dear readers, meet zombie Cha. Anyway, this was what I wore. Just got out of bed ang peg! Also, very appropriate ang outfit ko diba! Charot!

Took a photo in the street! I’ve always wanted to do this! Wala kasing masyadong dumadaan. Probinsyang probinsya! :D

Then it was time to go home. I had nothing else to do (again) so I’ll leave you with photos of the sky and sunset.

I’ll be going to sleep now! I still need to wake up early tomorrow (AM duty) I hope everyone had a great day! Good night guys! :D

I’m serious when I said I’m serious

School for me is just around the corner. I cursed myself a couple of times during Christmas break, to be honest. I had all the time in the world to open my books, reread my notes and memorize drugs (among other things) but alas,  I didn’t. I just couldn’t find the motivation to do so. Then I realized what my problem was. I had set my inspiration on other people, when from the start I should have sought inspiration within myself. That is what I am doing right now, or rather, what I will do after writing this blog post. Juggling layout making, blogging and studying is not an easy task, but it’s what makes me happy. Right now, I just need to focus on doing one thing at a time. Other people say I cannot do it, but I’m here to prove that I can. :)

Random fact: All my notes for midterms fit into three and a half pages. I’m an avid note taker and my notes are always complete, mind you. I just have really tiny handwriting, which is ironic on how I am a not so small person. Haha!

Wish me luck for the remainder of this semester!

Fact: I have this weird habit of doodling on my wrist on random occasions. An example would be when I once drew a lightning bolt on my wrist to “energize” myself because I was getting sleepy while doing some late night reviewing. Anyway, earlier today I came across this photo and since I have never drawn a Unicorn before, I decided that it would be my next wrist tattoo. The photo above is what I ended up with. A curious thing that looked like half a dog and half a horse with a bushy multicolored tail and a pointy pink horn. Oh well! :P

Beeda ang saya!

It may not be obvious, but I’m actually very immature and still consider myself a kid at heart. I’m just the quieter kind (if there’s such a thing) And come to think of it, I never really was the loud type. Anyway, yesterday I once again revisited my youth (Naks. May ganun!) I went to the 7th birthday party of a cousin of mine at (you guessed it) Jollibee! Nadadalas pagpunta punta ko sa mga kiddie parties ha! Haha!

This was what I wore. This outfit (only with different shorts, shoes and accessories) was actually one of the three outfits I prepared for the shoot I had with Edric Chen two days ago. I’m really loving envelope clutches right now. Thank you ALT Manila for this! It’s F and F - functional and fashyown. Inside I had my wallet, lipsticks, comb, powder and an iPad. Oh diba? They also sent me one in red. Love! They sell for only 600 each! Go get yourself one now. I heard they’re selling like pancakes! Also, I am loving December because I can finally wear knits and thick clothing again! What is comfy? <3

Khendie and me. Her real name is Francesca. Haha!

Uhm. K.

Fact: I don’t think I ever had a photo with Jollibee before. But I will consult my childhood photos after this to check. Anyway, I begged (or rather; forced, whichever term is more appropriate haha) my sister to take my photo with Jollibee. She thought I was being silly again! Anyway, can I just say? Ang bigat ng kamay mo, Jolibee! Ayoko na sayo. :( Haha!

Tommy with Jollibee. Pwede ring vice-versa. Joke lang Tommy! Haha!

With my Lolas

And to end this post, look what I got from the party! Well, okay, more like stole. Haha! This was from Tommy’s loot bag. If you cannot see, it’s actually a panda (although it doesn’t really look like one) And you all know how much I love pandas. So there! I love attending kiddie parties now. I always get a panda somehow. Hee! :3

On an unrelated note, today I ate a whole tub of cookies and cream ice cream (the 430mL one, to be exact) I finished it within 43 minutes. Oh well. Tis’ the season to be fatty, right? :D

    Random fact: I love wearing corsets slash bustiers (Yes, even with my tiny almost non-existent bust) :P

    Anyway, I was featured in a blog today! It’s a “what’s in her bag” kind of thing. I know this may be petty to some, but for someone who doesn’t receive a lot of these, I am very grateful! Please check out Ishainparis’ post here. Thank you, Isha! :)

    Also, I updated my “About Me” photo. It’s three photos Jash took that I merged into one. Now I finally have a photo that can testify that I am indeed a “layout maker by profession, a nursing student by mind and a fashionista by heart.” Yay! :D
