Back In Jakarta

There’s something about coming back from vacation in the Philippines that always leaves me to a state of utter slump when I’m back in Jakarta. Ever since I got back I haven’t been able to stop thinking about how great my vacation was. 14 days back home in Cebu certainly wasn’t enough but at the same time it filled me with so much euphoria, fun and excitement that I hardly cared about getting enough sleep or eating. I would get about only 2-3 hours of sleep a day but whenever I ate, I would always savor it because it’s food I hardly get to eat often. Home is where the heart is, and my homes are both in Cebu AND Jakarta, so it’s gonna make for a tough decision in the future. I have two SD cards overflowing with photos from my trip and as much as I want to share it right now, work has been piling up like mad. I arrived on the eve of Saturday and spent the day nursing a vacation …

Vacation

I’m on vacation right now and the past week has just been so amazing with lots of fun in the sun and fun after-hours (and lack of sleep). Haven’t been in front of a computer ever since but I’ve been on BIS the whole time so here’s a glimpse of the the island from my phone. I’d like to upload more but it’s sorta a bitch uploading photos from a BlackBerry. Posted with WordPress for BlackBerry.

Things I’m Looking Forward To:

March had been such a good month to me, and even though I started April on a not so healthy note, I know it’s going to be better. The streak of great weekends hasn’t stopped yet and I hope it never does. I don’t even want to rest anymore! Things are definitely looking up, so here are the things I’m most looking forward to: Cebu trip. I’m going home in about 10 days, and I can’t be more excited. The last time I was home was Christmas of 2009. I’m excited to see friends, cousins (miss them so much), ENDLESS BEACH TRIPS, roadtrips, parties and just chilling out with people I haven’t seen in a while. White rice & Coca Cola. Those 2 things were what I gave up during Lent. It’s very close to Easter and I can’t wait to finally get to sip a cold Coke in the sun filled with ice. I’ve sort of gotten used to not eating rice anymore, so that’s just less than moderate excitement for me, but still. …

Two Peas in Singapore

I just came back from my short but so awesomely sweet Singapore trip with one of my best girlfriends, Novella. We’ve been planning to have a trip ever since we both graduated last February. We went to Perth, Australia with our families for graduation but we decided we needed to go somewhere just the both of us. Lots of suggestions came up. Bali, back to the Philippines, Thailand or any fun budget destinations then up until a month ago when we got together quickly we decided to go to Singapore instead. It was totally shotgun, and with super cheap tickets we decided to give it a go. I go to Singapore a couple of times a year and I never tire of it. Fast forward a month later, we were off to our 3 day mini holiday. With her job and mine, it was quite difficult to ask for a longer vacation but we took whatever we could get. We pretty much knew Singapore already and Universal Studios and hanging out and having some girl …
