SEPTEMBER 7TH, 2016

We went to the Thailand, the beautiful country where we witnessed tropical beaches, royal palaces, ancient ruins and temples displaying figures of Buddha. I obviously had an awesome time because here I am, writing a blog post all about it. Special thanks to me... for taking time to jot down the things that we did in my journal so that I won't have a hard time trying to remember those "things" that we did.

Spending a weekend at the "City of Pines" was truly mesmerizing. When I found out that we were going back, I suddenly felt thrilled. The last time I went to Baguio was about two or three years ago (I'm not sure, though) .. but Baguio is one of my favorite travel spots here in the Philippines. Just think about the fine cold weather, the strawberry treats, the antique and historical places, their artistic cafe´s and the calm sceneries that are worth-visiting couldn't stop you from going back again.

DAY 1- JULY 16

DAY 2- JULY 17

Day Three is sad, which means it's our last day..*insert sad emoji* And there's nothing much to say about this day because it consisted of traveling and eating.. But still, here's a picture of me looking out the window. 

FAMILY GROUPIE!!!!

Snapchat is one of the largest social networks due to its amazing features and obviously, its cool filters. I remember from almost two years ago, I first discovered Snapchat. I thought it was kind of boring because I only had like two friends and it was absolutely hard to figure out. But after a few days of trying, I managed to figure out the whole app. Trying out these new cool filters had been trendy and I was really into it.

So this past month– this May, we went one of my biggest dream destinations, which is.. Japan! We've been there for eleven days which is crazy because that is a really long amount of time. I had a lot of fun, I've had new experiences and they're definitely one for the books. Everything in Japan is so instagram-worthy and I swear, my family always hear me say "Oh My Gosh, pang feed ko!!!" [translation: "Oh My Gosh! For my feed!!"] whenever something catches my attention.

And obviously.. I couldn't write a blog post about my eleven-day trip because it would be a really long post, and I wouldn't want to bore you guys, so I just put up all of my footage into two separate vlogs (which I posted on my Facebook account). So feel free to watch them, and maybe.. tell me what you think?

*** Oh, and the other vlog was already on this page for days and I'm sure some of you have already watched it.

Hello there! Guess what time it is? The end of summer is near and it's time for what we all dread about.. Back to School!! But admit it, there is at least one thing that we love about Back to School.. it's the new school supplies ! Buying ball pens that will probably be nowhere to found after weeks, cute neon-colored highlighters and adorable printed notebooks. So for this blogpost entry, I'm showing you what I got for Back to School.

So recently, from May 26th to 29th, I went to my first ever Summer Camp!! And the fact that the venue is really far from home and it was my first time being away for a long time made me shiver at the thought. At first, I thought it would be really boring, but boy was I wrong, it was actually really fun! It's definitely worth trying and is one of my greatest experiences as a teenager. The camp is called "Camp Torchbearer" and was held at Epic Park Rainforest at Tanay, Rizal.  

The beautiful treehouse at the forest. Sadly, I wasn't able to climb it. I got too caught up with the activities

That's my Dad, my sister and my two brothers, dropping us off :-) ikr, #familygoals lol just kiddin

Meeting my cabin mates for the first time. Look at our cabin! The theme is Star Wars.

Water Games by the "pool"

During those days, we were always doing many kinds of activities. From AdveNature and exploring the rainforest , climbing various kinds of Ropes which were very hard to cross but I somehow conquered all of them, Water Games which included being soaked, we had to pick one specific Sport– I chose Volleyball, bc why not?– , ALE and Catechism Classes, and Amazing Races. Also, Every night, we gather around the amphitheater and make a bonfire. And if you were wondering, we had those "typical" bonfires while roasting marshmallows with humongous wooden sticks and smushing them between nutella and graham crackers while we danced around and sang to repeat-after-me songs led by our counselors. And during the last full day, we slid on a mudslide. It's basically a long tarp slide and we'd land on mud (which I consider as one of this camp's highlights). Each day was so tiring that one day feels like a year #tbh. Oh.. and did I mention that they confiscated our phones? Aww, no updates on snapchat stories :( And sadly, the venue is a really high place so no chance of getting a signal.

BONFIRE!! roasting 'em marshmallows

TYPICAL CABINS BE LIKE... BUNK BEDS!!

JAM SESSIONS

Our Last Day-- Grouphug!!!

Star Wars Cabin: The "Serious" Group Photo

 So basically, this summer camp was definitely a great experience for me. First, I gained new friends, I learned many things and most importantly, I learned how to gain confidence. I never thought I would enjoy this camp, well not for being away from home, but I was really proud of myself because during these days, I was disconnected from my gadgets, I was able to do different activities that included sports and Mother Nature itself.

** side note, I did mention that our phones were confiscated, so these pictures aren't mine. I did my best to snatch these photographs so credits to the owners hehe :-)
