First month of the year. Fresh start. New beginning and the end is still far. It’s very fast though that January has ended in a blink of an eye and here we are again at the month of hearts. Phew. I cannot keep up! Here’s some of my tidbits of my January. Just a little of something. :)

(1) I said something about my room re-designing. I had all the new stuff to put on my room but since I am the queen of laxity, it did not happen. My mom tolerated my desire for animal prints again and gave me some new boxes so have somewhere I can put my school readings on.

This where I also place my bags and I can see that it is not enough. We plan to buy more but the problem now is that my room will get more crowded. How to? How to? 

(2) My favorite past time is to visit my favorite place in the world! Thrift shops! Again, I am pleased to present my self as a solid advocate of ukay-ukay since it where you get all the best in the world! I got two new sheers and 2 new animal prints! Satisfaction much I tell you. But now, I prevent myself from going there since I really want to save! The agony. :( I got some new accessories too!

A tragic thing happened too. My favorite everyday eye shadow palette broke. :( I wish I could still spot something as of good quality as this in Max Factor stores or somewhere else. :(

My new stress reliever…nail arts! Again, animal print! Hee! ;)

Eww! My ugly toes! Please look at the nail color instead. :p

(3) Ginno and I is having our 18th monthsary this first day of February. Some days before, we had a fight and he gave me this cute cellphone charm still from Korea. He knows I love everything Korean.

He told me that he’s been hoarding a lot of goodies so that he will not run out of peace offerings to give me if ever we will have fights again. I do not know if that is a good thing since we are talking about fights here. Haha. It was sweet and when he said sorry, I just said…Yup! It’s okay. We get better and better in dealing with fights and it’s something that keeps us going. I love you Pupi! ;)

(4) Before we also ended the month, we attended the Neocentennial Celebration of our university…University of Sto. Tomas! We missed the fireworks and being a sucker for fireworks, you will not be able to imagine the sadness that I felt that time. They said that it was the most wonderful pyromusical display that UST ever had. :( Anyway, I had a great time with Ginno. I always will. :)

So much for now. I hope the next month would be much better and it is the Month of Hearts! Let’s see what happens.

Remember that make every month, every day as Valentine’s day. All you have to do is share love like there’s no tomorrow. Love like Jesus! :D

I thought this trip would not push through but hey, what’s visiting China Town on the day of Chinese New Year itself? :)

Been so excited to feel the Chinese New Year in Binondo. We are not Chinese (only a little in my mother’s side) but we just want to experience the spirit of festive celebration. 

It was my first time to ride the LRT with my family. I was with my parents and two sibs. We parked our car somewhere and just commuted for the fear of having difficulty of bringing a ride. The fun started right here. :)

We visited Binondo church. My mom prayed for a while but I was busy sight-seeing and taking random pictures. :) We were supposed to attend mass here last Sunday but failed since my mom had an emergency.

There were gay street dancers everywhere and they did not fail to welcome everyone with loud thuds of drums and cute fire dances.

Kiong Hee Huat Tsai is the new Kung Het Fat Choi! :) 

That’s my Dada and sis eating sugar cane. ;)) There are so hungry that they just have to munch on anything.

New lovaaa! <3 Tummy is so big I’m gonna die!

We ate authentic Chinese food though I am not in my good appetite since just this week we ate at Shangrila the same set of food. :| Happy tummy still!

Something to take home! Right after, we went to Divisoria and did a lot of shopping! So excited to share with you my adventure! I got lots and lots and lots of animal prints again!

Well, my day was a wrap! I had fun and my excitement was satisfied! The crowd was also tolerable. It is far from what I expected and the weather was not that hot. Everything was perfect indeed! I wish everyone specially my Chinese friends and whoever a bountiful and lucky year of the Water Dragon! :)

It was the birthday celebration of my good friend Kim and we went to Anvaya, Zambales. It was my first out-of-the-town trip with friends and it was really worth the begging to my mom. We swam in the beach, pool and enjoyed the breeze with our glasses of fruit juices and nachos. We tried good food (no wonder my stomach gave up on me, I felt like throwing up) and strolled along the long sea side and took pictures by the lighthouse.

The real adventure that we did was when we tried Subic’s Treetop Adventure. Looking up at those high and long zip lines, hearing shouts from the customers and the rumbles of my friends who are also nervous to try their activities, my tummy gave me the signal to already give up. I, indeed vomited. I congratulate myself. Moving on, our first try on their facilities is on what they call as the Ultimate Adventure/Superman. Finding the brave soul in me, I was so excited. The next thing I know after climbing up, I was just like  disturbing the jungle with my loud yells and cries. I survived though. Hoo!

The next is this see-saw-ish thing. I thought this is less frightening a ride but when it already moved, I found myself shivering again because it was swaying…on purpose. The “kuyas” by the machine was letting it sway and scaring us by shouting at us. Haha. Funny yet reaaaaally unexceptional!

For the best as the last, we tried this dropping stuff! Seeing that petite girl at the rightmost side, Mara she can’t reach the flat bar below that she was swaying throughout the “ride”. I actually hate the feeling of having the whoops on my tummy but just to try this (since it was also a part of the package ;)) ), I endure it and yerps! It was again very exciting and totally amusing!

I can’t recall the package we availed but still if you want to try this for your semester break to be something, you can visit their website. I loved everything and what made this trip even more matchless is the company of my friends that I missed. I demand more trips with you gays, Genina, Jessica, Mara, Catherine and the birthday girl Krinkles (Kim).By this time I hope we would be complete! <3
