.. talking about summer ..

Recently, I've been posting blog posts shorter than what I've expected but nonetheless, it's a bit convenient though because I'm not really that brainstorming a lot. *laughs*

Anyways, want to know what I'm doing recently? Here's an update:

As I was saying in my previous post, there's a wedding I should attend. As a matter of fact, I sacrificed my publication workshop. *sigh* But even though it's okay since I felt like I truly had fun traveling this summer. It's my first time that I traveled by land, by sea and by air - not to mention the naivete of riding an airplane. Another is I traveled up to the North down to the South.

Honestly, I'm just pretty much sitting around and doing nothing aside from listening to music and singing. *coughs* I even find it weird that I'm not into watching television that much now compared to before. Well, maybe one reason why is that is perhaps there are only a few shows in which I would like to watch. I'm also a bit picky in these kinds of things.

One thing I want to profess is that I take care of my baby cousin here. *laughs* I wouldn't call myself a baby sitter because I don't want to be called such and furthermore, I'm pretty much used to it. I've been taking care of my younger sister and brother when they were still little. Tucking them to sleep is my specialty. *smiles*

Some things I do are household chores. I'm proud of myself because I thought I couldn't do them even though I know how to do them. I practically wash the dishes, mostly after dinner since I eat the most during the particular mealtime and the family is complete so there are more plates to wash. *challenging, isn't it?* I also laundry my clothes and press them after. I cook! *laughs* But not always compared at home. One reason that I cook because I love food and eating them. *what else do you do with food?*

Before I forget, I currently live with my grandparents here with two dogs.

Why did I mention that?

Apparently, they are two dogs that guard the house here. One's named Kirby and the other is named Beagle - my favorite. Why did I like him? Even though, his eyes are bulgy and sometimes when he's not on the mood, you can't mess with him. He usually approaches me when I'm eating food that he likes. Yet, when I pat him on the head, he growls. He sometimes doesn't when some people are around. I'm still happy though because he listens to me when I ask him to come inside. He could be named, "Beagle the Grouch". *laughs* Let's move on to Kirby. Compared to Beagle, he is playful and eats anything that is edible as Beagle hardly eats anything since he is allergic to some food. Kirby's favorite food? Bitter gourd.

Totally, I like my summer this year and I like it here. When I would finally come back home, I'd spend time with my friends - watch movie together, food trip and fun-searching.

Until here! Ciao! =)

.. up the cold North ..

In my previous post: Summer - Live, Laugh, Love Life!, I aforementioned that I would be having a vacation in the North. It was really very nice! Want to know where? Baguio City! The City of Pines. A God-given place, a true sanctuary for which it has a green environment.

People in Baguio are indeed honest - a one peso change would still be returned back to you after you rode on a taxi. Speaking of it, taxis in Baguio are unconditioned. It's one of the things that amazed me the most. Moreover, its tourist spots are near the civilization. You don't have to ride for kilometers.

What else?

Would I ever forget the flowers? They're so pretty and well-taken cared of. Sunflowers and Daisies were among those I recognized. Some flowers were new to me and pretty much, perhaps, they only live in places with cold climates.

I also wouldn't forget the fog that happens every morning and dusk. It also fogs before it rains or when it currently rains.

The last thing I couldn't forget are the strawberries! Strawberries are naturally sour. Its life span for staying fresh is only a day. You need to eat them right away after you buy or handpick them. If you can't consume then the most advised thing to do is not to refrigerate for it would have black spots the next day. Strawberries are also made into jams or preserved wholly in jars. They are also made into kisses - aside from peanut and chocolate.

The cold climate and green environment, what more could you ask for? Visiting the place was really worth it and fun-filled because you get to see the beauty of the things He has given to us. The adventure is out of this world!

Partly convinced? Let's travel! Bon voyage!

.. pictures would be posted soon ..
A picture does say a thousand words, doesn't it?

.. quotable quotes ..

♥.. knowing someone like you has made me happy in a million ways and if i ever have to let you go, i would find a million reasons to make you stay ..♥

♥.. if you love someone, set him free... if it comes in your way, it means it is yours; but if it doesn't, it is not meant for you ..♥

Sentimental, isn't it? Naturally as you can read it. Can you believe that these quotes were only found in the front page of a book? Well, I was about to read the book and voila it appeared out of nowhere. Enough of this storytelling! *sorry about that*

The intention of posting it here was only to share this to everyone. By the way, if you happen to like them, feel free to comment, okay?

Next time, I would post a longer blog post since as of this moment, I can't think of anything to type! I'm so totally mental-blocked! I apologize for the matter. *bows head*

Summer: Live, Laugh, Love Life!

A few weeks ago were finally the start of my summer vacation. From all the hard work and not to mention pressure from school activities, I have come to a point to relax and have fun; which made my mind wonder, “Am I really that serious?” *laughs* Nah, I’m not. In fact, when I get to have the chance to enjoy, I grab that opportunity. *ponders* An opportunity? So that means I wait until I get freed? And my enjoyment is a chance? *what?* Okay, let’s just put this into one complete statement: I was busy before and now, I get a chance to complete those and have time. *sigh* I think no matter how much I rephrase it, still the same thought would come out.

Anyways, what is summer? Summer is the season where the sun shines the hottest. People go out and enjoy the vicinities of beaches, resorts and spas. It is the time of the year where classes would bring to an end and children are allowed to play outdoors until they get tired. It’s the point where some trees would bloom flowers. Take note, only blooms in summer *we have this kind of tree but I don’t know the name*. When you think of summer, these things would definitely come to mind.

What am I going to do this summer? Summer in our place usually begins from late March until early June *wow! I didn’t know it’s kind of long… time does fly by when you’re enjoying yourself*. And to think, I’m booked of activities this summer. Let me enumerate some *laughs*:

· Apparently, after the Lenten season, my family and I would be spending my summer in the North.

I’m so much excited in this because, *call me naïve if you want to, okay?* it’s the first time I’m going to ride an airplane after my fifteen years of existence in the planet! I never rode on one so this definitely, the FIRST! First time in riding and going up way North. I’m pretty sure I’ll be taking a lot of captured moments in this. Though it would be lasting for three days and two nights only, I’ll make sure I get to every moment of it. Chances do really happen hardly ever, don’t you think?

· In the start of the month of May, a workshop for two weeks regarding our school publication.

A must-attend workshop for my last year in high school publication/school paper/magazine staff.

· Summer Camp Orientation!

Another two weeks of this pursuit. It is a two-day, one-night orientation for the incoming first years high school students or preferably called: The Freshmen as they take another challenge in schooling. In addition to that, my brother just graduated and goes high school and I want to help in facilitating the batch where he belong and other batches, of course.

There is one event that I really shouldn’t miss in the coming month though, the matrimony of my uncle and aunt. *sigh* I’m not sure if I could come because it is in conflict with my schedule of activities for May. Since in the start of another school year, it would be my last year in high school, I could not miss those activities because they would benefit me someday *not sure when*, but I know it would happen in the school year.

I wish I were two or having a doppelganger to split up and go to these events separately; but I can’t. I really don’t know what to do. Does someone have magic there and give me an alter-ego? Now, I sound desperate enough *laughs*, and I want it badly to happen. There is really one activity that I would forgo. It’s either I would surrender the last days of the workshop so that I could chase after the days before they get married. Another option is that I would finish the two-week workshop and go and appear before the start of the orientation or the first few days of the orientation. It’s really hard *shakes head*!

Though my summer is like planned ahead, it’s still okay at least, I get to have summer and still enjoy myself. It doesn’t really matter what you are doing as long as you’re happy and get pleasure from it as much as possible. Things do happen whenever you’re not expecting it. “Come what may,” as they say. This summer, I hope everyone get to enjoy the season. Kudos! =)
