It’s been a long day without you, my friend
And I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again.
We’ve come a long way from where we began
Oh, I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again.

Such an eye candy, Aura. (12/28/14)

It’s that time of the year again where my friends put stress away by going to amusement parks and this year, 16 of us went to Star City right after our Christmas Party! They decided to ride Star Frisbee first and when I found out it was that ride in the 4th frame I was like wot r u srs? Alyn and I ended up talking Physics like “Ay tignan mo nakakabuo ng trajectory oh! Malakas momentum nyan moment of inertia mga ganun"  to get rid of the nervous vibes settling on us but it was no use because gah! It was so intense I couldn’t stop screaming for my life that I had to shut up because I felt my jaw about to detach :-(

Star Flyer wasn’t scary at all it was super bitin! Star City’s Viking caused my friends to puke but unlike EK’s Anchor’s Away, I was able to raise my hands (woo achievement!) albeit I felt really dizzy! Surf Dance was really really fun but I didn’t dare remove my hands on the railing lol my friend kept budging my hand tho but I was like ”Ayoko! Ayoko!“ because abby x railing indi matitibag lmao

I cried twice. First, because I ate spoiled barbecue. It was my first time to be deluded! And into something that might risk my health. Micah ate the food and she was suspicious because there was an after taste and all my friends smelled it and they were all telling it was botcha!! I didn’t want to return the food because I was shy so Micah and Gia returned our (Alyn and I’s) food and came back with a new one. Gia told us that Micah was furious at the crew that she made them smell the bbq and asked for the manager for replacement. I cried so hard when I found out about it because Micah? Micah who is such a clown and all good vibes rolled her eyes at the crew for us? I was so touched I ended up crying while eating the replacement but I didn’t have the appetite anymore. My faith in humanity was broken and restored at the same time.

I also cried while inside the Ferris Wheel. I don’t know if I have fear of heights I really don’t I’ve been questioning it since we went to EK last year but when the ride slowly moved higher I just started having ragged breaths and found myself crying. My friends were all laughing, standing up and trying to budge the door at first because I was being so peculiar but I just couldn’t stop the tears and shakiness. I felt so dumb! I was only up there 8 minutes but it felt like an hour. This must be how the simulation in Dauntless feels. Four, I feel you very much. It was torturous.

• Christmas is just around the corner and everyone sure is busy! Busy buying gifts and preparing for the holidays, and I’m also preoccupied as my teachers really let us experience the season of giving by handing us tons of requirements and setting exams before Christmas. So yes, I’m very busy drowning in a sea of schoolworks and lessons to catch up on.

• I have reached my last leg of joining inter-school Bible quiz bees and God has blessed me with a first place tilt together with my 3 other schoolmates Esther, Japhet, and Gwen during the Federation of Christian Schools last December 4! All the skipping of classes were not in vain!

• Victory Fort’s Appreciation Night was so nostalgic! I had to walk from One World Place to church (3 blocks away, so it’s fine lol) to avoid being way too late because wow my parents and I left home at 5PM (event starts 7PM) and I was still 15 minutes late? It was fun to be in the companionship of other ministry volunteers, knowing that there are a lot of people (there were so many youth!!) who are willing to serve God. I was also able to witness the performance of Trumpets’ Pamilya Maleta which is so inspiring and funny all the same! 

• A cliniquing was held two days after suspension so I was like lol still have to catch up on school how to breathe but I learned so much and met new friends! My batchmate KC and I, felt so much tension with our fellow journalists but during the last day I just couldn’t not talk to them so I took the chance and it all went down to good! They were actually all funny! David Franco’s line from 21 Jumpstreet is really legit where he said “Everyone’s a stranger until you give them a chance”.

*The nail art was made during our TLE class, I felt like a girl.

Nothing beats a Sunday night in a road trip with your loved ones, ♡
