Three Months Flashed By?

Three months flashed by, just like that.

College has been pretty good. A2 is a step closer to the future and I'm excited for what God has in store for me. Assignments have been piling on but that's life. All my friends are doing well, both in UK and back home. My teachers, what can I say, they are the bomb honestly.

University application season has just passed for me, leaving me waiting anxiously for offers and interview invitations. I'm nervous and excited at the same time, I can't wait for the university years! And freshers, ayyyy. In Jean's words, " we gonna get para!"

Camille's 18th birthday debu just passed, it was pretty amazing. I adore the Fillipino culture and a part of me wishes I could have had a special birthday ball with my loved ones around. The best part was the 18 candles and 18 roses. I then went on to muse about having a 21st debu with 21 candles and 21 roses. When I mentioned it to my mum, she laughed and said "i wonder how you're going to find the 21 male figures in your life for the 21 roses event!"

I had the best vacation ever with my family last month. There shall be a separate blog post in a bit, but it was three weeks of bonding and love. It started off with 5 nights in Wales, followed by 2 nights in London, 3 nights in Barcelona and 1 week on the Allure of the Seas! I met a number of really cool friends on the ship, it resulted in karaoke-ing, dancing in the club and just chilling till the wee hours in the morning. It was enchanting to meet them and I have absolutely no regrets. Those magical memories will remain with me for a very, very long time and I'm beyond glad we're still in contact. My fingers and nose are crossed tightly, hoping that we'd continue being in each other's lives. The Mediterranean cruise was amazing and I'd love to do it all over again! My extended family were there on the ship as well and let's say it was the best feeling ever to have your loved ones with you after a whole year.

Unfortunately, a part of me felt a bit empty after we said goodbye and parted ways at the terminal. Reality hit me, reminding me that physically we won't be with each other for the next year and it stirred up an odd feeling in me. Ya know that feeling where you grew used to not having your family around and then you see them and you're filled with a magical sort of hope and finally that hope is ripped away when reality hits and you're back to being alone. Sigh, it's alright, it's only about 7-8 more months to go from now!

Stoked!

Till the next post.
