The Best Things In Life Are Free


I woke up today feeling very much energized and positive. I took a bath, dress up then took some photos. I glanced at my phone and saw that it was already 10:30! Oh em! I hurried and grabbed all my school stuff and dump them in my trusty ol' bag. I hurried because I might not be able to get my very-much-craved-for mcdonald's pancakes,  they're only available until 11am. But as I ride a public jeepney, I found out that there was a heavy traffic, but I didn't lose hope, I'm gonna get those pancakes. But no, it's just not meant to be. When I arrived there,pancakes are not available anymore. =(((((( I just died right there and there. haha.no. It's okay, it's my fault anyway. I just wish they're available 24 hours.

Anyways, i'm here enjoying my iced coffee instead, overlooking the very awesome city of Iloilo. I love looking at the traffic and old fashioned buildings, it's like an irony, past and present at the same time. I also love looking at other people walking fast in the sidewalks, thinking why they're such in a hurry. I also love hearing conversations around me, there's this mother and daughter talking about the daughter's school life and friends. yes I'm listening to their conversation, I can't help it, they're right behind me. They seem real close, I can't help thinking about my own mom, we're really close too. I miss her so much, I haven't seen her for like 3 weeks. It sucks being away from my family. It sucks being in a dormitory, with no one to take care of me when I'm sick, no one to cook for me, no one to ask me how my day is. I mean, I have roommates too but we don't talk too much anymore, we're all too busy. Oh college,you're too cruel.

I really think too much don't I? I guess that's okay, at least I take interest in life, and appreciate everything. But I read that overthinking makes you fat, and I'm already fat enough so maybe I should stop thinking at all. haha. As if that's possible. But yeah. okay. bye.

Hope you had a good day. =)

Hot Milk Teas for Empty Stomaches







(Photos from my tumblr account)

It's 2 in the morning and I'm still wide awake, waiting for a pimple explosion to happen, as if what I've got are not enough. Blame it to my rumbling stomach. I just realized too much pancake dreaming is not a good thing especially if you've got no food stock in your dorm room. What I got is just a packet of instant milk tea so I just used it instead to satisfy my tummy's calls, but to no avail. I can't wait for morning to come, I am dying to eat Mcdonald's breakfast meals and drink hot chocolate while overlooking the city (last photo shows the view from Mcdo's 2nd floor). I'll go there first thing in the morning, and eat breakfast, then maybe walk around and lust over that lace dress I look at over and over in a certain store. I really really wanna buy it but it's a bit pricey, so I have to save up for it first. And then maybe, I could go to the supermarket, look at the fresh fruits displayed and imagine myself eating them because that's all I could do. haha. Pity me.

Oh, the milk tea is finished and I'm still feeling the hunger. ugh. pancakes,pancakes,pancakes. *drools*

Feel the Sunshine on My Face

After our Accounting exam, my friends and I watched Gleeorious at Colejio de San Jose at Jaro, Iloilo. Right after it, we went home and had to walk a short distance to the jeepney stop.On the way, I can't help but feel overwhelmed by the very awesome view around me. It was like I was taken back to the 70's what with the very clean streets, old houses, old-style jeepneys and of course the ever famous Jaro Cathedral. The sunlight was so perfect, I just had to whip off my camera and snap pictures even if I was right in the middle of the street and walking fast. I had to run to catch up with my friends because I always fell behind.

Here are some pictures I took,hope you like them.


I told you the streets were really clean. The only dirt you can see are the dried leaves falling from trees.
