The Story of my Life

...we took this photo at Malate Church. Jom and I were suprised we looked fair in this photo. Then I started thinking...bagay kaya sa akin ang maputi? hahahaha

Dang! I'm soooooo bored!

My writing skills went on leave thus the silence in this blogpage for weeks. So for now, I can only provide you with bullet points of what happened in the past four weeks.

• My first out of town trip this year was Punta Fuego. Thanks to Wilson's generosity. Check out my multiply for photos.
• I'm back gymming, playing badminton and volleyball. And I'm sooo loving it!
• Jom and I watched Tuesdays with Morrie a couple of weeks back. Sorry naman naiyak po ako...haayyy.
• My brother got married by civil rites last January 11. Church wedding to be announced.
• We've just booked our flight to Boracay for 4 to 7 April.
• I'm currently reading Sputnik Sweethearts by Haruki Murakami (I stopped reading How to walk in High Heels to give way to this book). Next in line, A Thousand Splendid Suns.
