Growing Up
Everyday, I learn new things. I find out more about people, and find out more about myself through them. Who am I? A question I believed I've known the answer all my life. All along, I've only been acquainted with my mask.
Looking back at the days long past, reflecting on my past actions and decisions, I've frequently told myself "That was stupid! Why did you do that?". But that's the proof that I'm growing everyday. That's the proof that I'm smarter than I was yesterday. Through the mistakes that I've made, I get closer to the me that I want to be.
Last term, I've failed a subject, LINPROG. At the beginning of that term, I already seen that subject as a dangerous one. But as the term continued, I found myself enjoying myself a bit in that subject. It was the last quiz that caused my miscalculation. I thought I aced the test. Because of that, I didn't work as hard as I was supposed to in that subject's finals. After the finals, the results of the last quiz were returned. I found out then that I was doomed to failure.
During the term before that, I almost failed one subject. I told myself then that I should study harder the next term. Turns out, I failed to do just that.
Sometimes, almost falling from a cliff is not enough for us to learn our lesson. We just have to learn it the hard way.
Well, that's it for now! Catch ya later! ^^

US Trip
US Trip
For the US trip, I'll just post one day. Apparently, that was the only day I took note of.
April 26
After meeting up with Sandy and Dan, we went to eat in a food court/marketplace like place. I had Cheese Steak, which was everything I would have expected from a Subway sub. After eating, we toured around the city of NY and took some pictures.
The fun part came after that. We went to visit Sandy's sister, Grace's, place, where there were 5 very cute children: Little Paul, who looks like Jonah xD, Hannah, Sarah, Emmah, and baby John. They just played with Sandy and Dan at first. But after Deryk asked Paul for a game of Monkey in the Middle, Paul started playing games with us, which included weird Dodge Ball, weird Baseball, followed by a game of Hide and Seek, which included Hannah and Sarah. We had dinner before the second round began though.
After dinner, while Paul was playing N64 games, was the attack of the Nakey Barbie dolls, which was invoked by unknown reason. It was finally stopped when I started trapping Hannah in a blanket. After that, we just played around randomly. Too bad we won't be seeing them for a very long time. I think I just learned how it is to miss people. If only we took more pictures >.>
Anyway, I'll post the places where we went to and when (in US time).
April 22- San Francisco
April 24- New York
April 26- Philadelphia
April 28- Washington DC
April 30- Buffalo
May 02- Watkins Glen

Cagayan de Oro
Cagayan de Oro
Finally, I got around to updating my blog again. I'm going t post more than one today to catch up.
I'm going to start with my family's travel to Camiguin and Cagayan de Oro.
3/19
Dizzy after the flight, we met up with our tour guide, Tata. We then left the airport and had a 1 and a half hour travel to the place where we had luch. During the travel, we ate one of their food specialty, Pastel. It's condensed milk in a bun... So yummy o.o
That day, we learned that sea urchins have eyes... and they look at you.
The hotel was great. Too bad we only got to stay there for one day.
3/20
We visited some churches, went up 7/14 stations of the cross, some of my family members continued. The hotel in Cagayan de Oro isn't as nice as that of Camiguin.
3/21
We took the Canopy Walk, Ziplin (which was cool), and White water rafting, which was totally awesome except for the sunburn. My feet got sunburned O.o. The water felt so good though.
That night, I still felt like I'm in a raft.
3/22
The sunburn on my feet was beginning to take effect. We went to see the Maria Christina Falls, the Hydroelectric plant, and another watery place with a waterfall. We didn't swim because of the huge crowd.
We then went to the Del Monte farm which had unlimited Pineapple juice.
For dinner, we ate steak :D
3/23
We walked around the market, which was a bit cleaner than Seaside of Manila. Mom and dad bought many Pastels to take home (Yum...). Then we played cards, and went home.
-End-
Yeah, I don't remember the details much anymore. I just copied from my summarized journal.
