separation anxiety

as i was about to go to sleep, i checked my phone and realized that today is the 5th of february. i got really sad, then i broke down and cried. 4 days from now, one of my closest friends will leave the country to try her luck out in another country. i get really emotional when someone i've gotten really close to leaves me behind.

and although we've already agreed upon me visiting her after a few months, it still isn't the same. she used to be just a text away. she used to go to my place to cheer me up when i'm sad. she used to be the first person i'd call whenever life gets to me. i wish i could make her stay here, just for my selfish reasons.

but to be selfish is a crime. so all i can do is wish her well on her new endeavor. and remind myself that in this era that we live in, there will always be ways to communicate. and it'll be just as if she's here.

and so, dear friend, bon voyage. someday, we'll see each other again..

destination : dumaguete/siquijor

this post is three months late.

On the last week of June, I went to a Dumaguete/Siquijor Trip with some good friends. This trip marked a lot of my firsts.. First plane ride, first trip to a non-Luzon destination, and first dolphin watching activity. That said, i was sure that me and my pare(s) are in for a heck of a ride. :)

DAY 1 

We left Manila on the 24th of June.. The plane took off from NAIA Terminal 2 at 2.10pm. Upon getting to the airport in Dumaguete, we were immediately met by our friend-slash-host-slash-tour guide (a former trainer who is now a very close friend of ours) and after a quick stop in the city itself to buy some things we forgot to pack along, we were whisked to the city port to get a ride to the island of Siquijor..

la isla bonita

Ayt. So this one's not really with the whole team but with my 2 best buddies from MAA, Sha and Jays. I can not and will not imagine what my life in MAA would've been without you guys.

Marinduque. May 20-24, 2009.

white sand. clear water. almost-private island. frustration with tan lines. me being sick (as usual) while out of town.

this is how summer is supposed to be (sans the sick part).

summer of '09. good times. :)

don't go chasing waterfalls

true to my reminiscing phase.

Team Chris Majayjay trip (Nov 25-27, 2008).

I think this was the first ever trip we went to together, as a team. Although technically I was no longer part of the team that time. Still, these people will always be the coolest teammates I ever had. Miss you lots, guys. See u sat! :)

OUTWIT. OUTPLAY. OUTLAST.

San Juan, Batangas (Jan 30-Feb 1, 2009).

from an impromptu tagaytay trip

i've wanted to go to sonya's garden since.. well i don't really remember how long i've wanted to go there pero matagal na talaga. more than 5 years na cause i remember discussing it with a friend way back in college. ewan ko ba. for some reason naaamaze ako sa thought ng pagkain ng bulaklak. :P
