I was this close to forgetting the URL of my blog.
This proves how long I've not blogged; longest hiatus in these 8 years of blogging.

I was reading some of my previous entries. Aw, so much has changed.

Anyway, just came back from Melbourne 2 days ago. It was amazing.
I reckon it's partially because of the company and partially because the city was just beautiful (:
We went to see the 12 apostles (though there were only 7 left), went barefoot in the forest (I felt so close to nature!), went to st. kilda, saw little blue penguins, went to the zoo... basically we were being tourists (:

Now I feel empty but...
"Don't be sad because it's over; be happy because it happened"

I'm glad you came over <3

I can't believe how time flies.... and how this blog is slowly becoming history.

Part of me can't wait to be back in Canby because I lead a healthier lifestyle there, and I miss Ursies, and another part of me doesn't really want to leave this sunny (or rather not so sunny) island; Mom's cooking, family, friends and after all I grew up here.

BUT... I can't wait for school to start!

Anyway, one month was really nice (:

home sweet home

This semester has been AMAZING. There has been so much fun, laughter, pranks, party and of course studying. I've never enjoyed life this much.

Soccer, touch footy, table tennis, frisbee, ursies' weekend, the Ball, many many social dinners, mooseheads, academy, ICBM, KingO's, Blue planet, Diversity of Life, Human Biology, Environment research methods, friends, How I met your mother, Greek, Big Bang Theory, IT crowd, Wollongong, Sydney, Batos, Winter, Spring, Summer, Flies and the list is never ending.

As much as I'm really glad I'm back home, I can't help but miss everyone in Ursies. It feels weird not seeing the same faces everyday, not hanging out at the Games room, not chilling out in the common room eating lollies, not disturbing people in their rooms because I'm bored... I can't wait to be back next year!

This summer will be awesome too (: Apart from a few issues to settle, it will be real fun spending quality time with family and friends. I can't wait till everyone finishes their exam!

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...

The more you learn about a person, the better chance you have of hitting the fatal "Ohhh..." moment: that moment when you find out that one detail about a person that is going to be a deal-breaker.

oh yeah. this is so true but we all learn to accept our friends for who they are, don't we? (:

Life is filled with many jigsaw puzzles.

I only needed one last piece to complete the whole picture. As time passed, I saw what the missing piece of puzzle would look like with the help of other pieces. I kept putting it off, reluctant to find the missing piece, or rather, I would prefer if the missing piece found me. Days passed and one day, it appears and the whole puzzle is complete. I finally get to see the whole picture but... what now??

Do I want to go with it? What's stopping me?

New update!

I came back from Wollongong and Sydney yesterday night. The trip was really amazing; spectacular coastlines, relaxing atmosphere, hustle and bustle of the city... Wish I was there longer!
Anyway yes, apart from the shitty weather, everything else was pretty good. We got lost a couple of times including once in North Sydney, once in Cronulla, once in Wollongong and some other times. hahah great fun exploring the suburbs on a car while getting lost though. But I can imagine how frustrating it must have been for Angel. He was really good given that he has never driven on this side of the road before. We got a parking ticket in Sydney for parking during non-parking hours too.

The plan was to spend a day at the beach in Wollongong, soaking in the sun and sea, but it rained the entire weekend. A real bummer. Ended up spending only half an hour out there in the cold wind. It was amazingly fun though!

On Sunday, we drove up to Sydney via the Great Pacific Drive. It was awesome. Winding roads, coastal views... and we talked about how our dream house should look like. Sydney is so busy! After staying in Canberra for 3 months, it feels weird seeing so many people again. Headed down to the touristy places like the harbour bridge, opera house, darlingharbour... And there was a Latin American fiesta happening in Darlingharbour so we visited that as well. HIGHLIGHT: going into Lindt chocolate cafe and having a slice of cake. The chocolate was orgasmic! There were 2 tubs of swirling LINDT chocolate right behind our table and ahhh, it was heaven. Pretty expensive though, but! ahh, it was awesome. Next time we shall head down to Guylian and Max Brenner!

We forgot to set our clocks because of daylight saving too! haha.
and we visited Angel's friend who stays in this really beautiful house by the coast. Kinda like my dream house! :D

And we drove back to Canberra! and we stopped by Hungry Jack's for dinner and I got a Patrick star toy from the kids' meal :D
