One of my goals for this summer is to have my skin darkened, and it worked.. It shocked many, but I think the feedback is good. Many told me that it looked good on me. Its because I am not all black, I am tan, thanks to Coke! hehe..

First Destination: San Juan, Batangas.. (April 12 - 13, overnight!)

Went to this place on adventure.. Meaning to say, we do not know where it is.. HAHAHA!! It was a total blast! We played volleyball on Tuesday night and on Wednesday morning.. They played "in-between" the whole night.. And I didn't get a lot of sleep because of the reptile hanging on the roof of our room.. To think I just got back from a few days of fever...

Attendance: ME, Sir Glen, Allan, Asaf, Candido, Kresa, Louie, Patrick, Rommel and Tristan

Me and Rommel on the "white sands" of San Juan, Batangas.. It's rather "creamy white" .. hehe..

Second Destination: Subic, Zambales (April 14, wholeday)

Still burned from sunbathing in Batangas, the following day, I went with my Comm 2 students to Zambales, for another beach outing! They were also a blast! Food was great! All I did that day was EAT, SLEEP and SWIM!

Attendance: ME, Jonas, Ces, Greg, Chris, Carreon, Ella, Patron, Em, Felix (and their hunny bunnies, can't remember all their names.. sowi po..)

Third Destination: White Beach, Puerto Galera (April 16 - 17, overnight ulit!)

Rested for one day, to recover from 3 days of "beaching around".. On the night of April 15, I didn't sleep, because I had to leave at 3am to meet my friends in Alabang.. We arrived at the Batangas Port at around 6am, bought the tickets and were on our way to Galera at around 7am, arrived at around 8:00 am.. I didn't expect Galera to be that crowded but oh my God, it was way crowded.. Again, I went sunbathing, rode the banana - boat, more sunbathing, gimik night out (more like flirted around.. hehehe..) with Charles, Mina, Les and Wilson (Charles! Remember Stripe Boy!! He's really cute!!), Jetski the following morning, snorkling, more sunbathing and a whole lot of picture-taking.. hahaha!

I'm Back! Yah, well, sort of...

To those who are wondering what happened to me..
My heartfelt thanks to those who were very much worried, I was sick, bedridden for two whole days. It was really embarrassing for me when I attended this function on Thursday; I slept half of the day because I was not really feeling very well. On Friday, I really could not get up, my sister and I were the only ones at home, and my sister was asleep all day, I definitely could not take care of myself. I was hungry but I could not eat, because I knew I was going to throw it up anyway. My fever was really high, I could not stand up. Fortunately, my brother came home that night, and he really wanted to take me to the hospital because I was twitching in pain, my fever was high and he could not talk to me. I didn't want to be taken to the hospital (I didn't want to spend money! Had I died that night I could only blame myself for my stinginess! Hahaha!) It turned out that I have the stomach flu. I still do. But it’s not anymore accompanied with the high fever, sore muscles, and a whole lot of vomiting.

But I am a little bit fine now, well not really, while all of this is happening to me physically, I am mentally tortured and hurt by some words that were said maybe not to me directly but to a “bridge”. I never thought that this person still does not know the real me. I have always been a “what – you – see – is – what – you – get” type of person, I really could not imagine this happened to me or this is happening to me. I just want to fall asleep, just like when I was sick, and wake up to a brand new life. It’s really tiring to prove my genuineness as a person, but what’s more tiring is the fact that I really can not please everybody. Maybe it’s time I take care of myself, do things that will make ME happy.

Haay.. I just wish I CAN DO JUST THAT.
