I keep finding myself wishing that I was prettier. That I was skinny with fairer skin and nice straight hair. Because thats your type. Because thats what she was. Thats what all your crushes are. And I am not like that. Its no wonder you grew tired of me. Its no wonder why you're not mine anymore. Its no wonder why you still love her. She's perfect. She's your perfect. Who the fuck was I kidding.
How would you know if things are over?
It’s over when they stop trying.
I write poems and love letters on your skin with my fingertips. I figure its the only way I could get you to feel every single word to the things I really wanted to say. But you didn't. I could never get through to you. You never understood.
The fambam in Universal Studios. This family has always been so adventurous and spontaneous and that is my absolute favorite part about us. Thank you for the memories and heres to the more to come!
I will always take the Wizarding World with me.

Needless to say, my trip to Hogsmeade and Hogwarts was the best day of my life. I still get butterflies every time I remember the times I spent there. Will definitely go back. Or maybe to the one in the US next… or better yet, London!
The Harry Potter ride inside the castle was the best ride I’ve ever ridden (that includes all the other rides we rode in Universal Studios) and this isn’t a biased remark. It was absolutely wonderful! The whole 4d experience was thrilling! (The spiders part scared the shit out of me though, and this was when the picture was taken so our picture had me with my hands over my eyes in horror UGH) ((I have arachnophobia)). But despite the panic attack I had during the spiders part, my brother and I went on the ride twice just because it was that awesome. (I panicked again but it was worth it)
My acceptance letter came a decade late but I finally made it to Hogwarts!
Life goal achieved!
Visited the Pokemon Center on our first day in Osaka. My brother went crazy (he grew up with Pokemon, Pokemon is like his Harry Potter to me). Got ourselves legit Pokeballs and a few other souvenirs.
The best way to fall in love in a new city is to get lost in it.
And we got lost a lot. Hahahaha. The train system is hella confusing in Japan.
(lol @ my hair, channeling my inner Hermione) ((it’s windy ok))
As a graduation gift my parents agreed to go to Osaka, Japan. Why Osaka, Japan? To visit Universal Studios as they recently opened the Wizarding World of Harry Potter there. I have waited all year (all my life to be perfectly honest) to finally go to Hogsmede and Hogwarts. This has become my sole motivation when times got rough during college. It was the thought that when I graduated on time, I’d be going to Hogwarts.
"Haler Baler!” was all my dad was screaming when we went to Baler a day after graduation. Yep, a d a y. My family is spontaneous like that.
But since graduation was over, I was free to bask in the sun all I wanted and when we came back to manila I was a certified island girl negrita. But I didn’t mind.
I learned how to surf in Baler! I always wanted to do that. Now I can finally tick it off the bucket list. It was amazing! And for 350 (comes with an instructor) an hour, you get your money’s worth! My brother and I enjoyed it so much! And my brother isn’t very sporty so this says a lot.
This Baler feels gave off a Franco kind of vibe and I was playing his music the whole time.
If you guys are looking for a cheap getaway with the thrill of adventure Baler is the place. There are cheap hostels, food is cheap, surfboard rentals are cheap as well. Really looking forward to coming back here!
I know, I don’t really have a proper graduation photo of just me. It was just so hectic after the event itself, everyone pulling you around for photos and your parents calling non-stop wanting to leave as soon as possible to avoid the inevitable traffic (and because they just endured a boring 6 hour program and are extremely hungry) ((okay I was really hungry as well and my feet were killing me)).
I am just so happy to have finished college on time. I am so happy for the people I met, the memories I had, and the experiences I will take with me. Finally. It’s over.

Come at me, real world.
...jk pls be nice huhu
So a week and a half before graduation my dad came into my room and said “I want to go to Boracay, book us a flight.” So I did. A few days later we were in the beautiful island once again. It has became a tradition since we visit once a year, every summer. I guess my Dad wanted to do it one last time (since I’ll probably be a working girl next summer and won’t be able to take much time off to be able to vacation like this anymore).
This panicked me a little, though, because graduation was coming up and I did not want to look dark in photos, and I knew myself too well to know that I couldn’t resist the beach. It took a lot of self restraint but I achieved a slightly brown tan at the end of our stay which was quite nice actually.
The island is still gorgeous. People who haven’t even visited but say that its “too crowded” and “congested” and “loud” really do not know what they’re talking about. All they really know is the photos they see during LaBoracay, but any other time of the summer it isn’t really that bad. If you really want a peaceful beach experience then stay away from the bars. Station 1 is most recommended. God, it’s heaven there.
Hoping this won’t be the last! Stay beautiful, Boracay!
