i feel like brightening someone’s day :)

If I remember correctly, my last out-of-town vacation was in Bantayan Island with some of my friends last April. :D

This is the view from the balcony of the resort we were staying in.

By the beach.

Our cottage. Poker!

Goofing off after dinner.

Island hopping.

Where we had breakfast (two of my friends were left in Bantayan, haha).

Hugs from Bantayan!

Quite a number of pictures make me happy:

My family.

My friends.

A picture of me, my brothers and my cousins when we were still young. I don’t know why, it’s just so nostalgic. :)

There’s more but it’s a chore going through dozens of folders. LOL

Sort of late post, but whatever, my pseudo-cousin used my laptop the whole day yesterday. LOL

Anyway.

Last 11/27/10 I celebrated my twenty-first birthday! YEAH! :D It was my dad’s birthday too, so double yay! We had a birthday dinner, and I invited some of my friends over to our house - specifically two high school friends, a college classmate of my high school friend, two of my best friends, my BF (that means “bullfrog”, don’t get confused, LOL besides she’s a girl), a choir mate, my brother’s friend, an classmate in grade school whom I’ve sort of reunited with (LOOOOL) and his two friends, and my pseudo-cousin (LOL, I call him “pseudo” because our relations are very far down the family tree already). And of course my relatives. Oh, and an elementary friend also stopped by to give me  gift but she didn’t stay long. Anyway, so, yeah, it was pretty packed in our small and humble abode. LOL xD We ate dinner, sang songs, and drank tequila and beer. Yes, my parents know that I drink. It’s not a secret in the family. Heck, even my dad drank with us, while my aunt was the gunner! Haha :D Here are some pics of the night:

My bf, high school friends and college schoolmate, and best friend.

My pseudo-cousin, big brother, choirmate, and big brother’s friend (boyfriend of a friend of mine that couldn’t be here).

My old classmate and two of his friends. That one in the middle celebrated his birthday the next day!

Our (cup)cake! Yep, my dad is 49 years old.

Awesome night, indeed. We finished at around 4AM because we ran out of drinks, HAHAHA xD My friends in the first picture went home earlier, though, so those in the second and third pics (plus my aunt and dad) were my drinking buddies who went home at 4AM. LOL My pseudo-cousin slept here though. So, yeah.

Anyway, on 11/28/10, my extended family arrived. We ate the leftover food, and sang some more! Haha :D All in all my weekend was supermegafoxyawesomehot. A great feat, considering I had the weirdest week ever. LOL

I can’t believe I just turned 21. I feel like nothing’s changed, though. But I know it has changed. Oh well. Let’s just wait for it to happen, haha

Thank you to all those who greeted me a happy birthday, for those who came to my birthday dinner, and for my gifts! I love you all. :D

P.S. My crush didn’t greet me. Oh well. Whatever.

Party ended about 20 minutes ago. Head’s throbbing a little bit, because of all the Mojitos and Red Horse I drank. HAHA :p A blog and pictures are coming up after I sleep! Hahaha Good mornight!

Exactly one year ago was my 20th birthday. :D We had our termination party for PPS2nd! Ah, I miss this group! :D

After dinner. That’s me in the middle, wearing brown. :D The girl beside me wearing black has the same birthday as me. :)

At the karaoke room. That guy beside me is our Clinical Instructor. He looks like a student, no? Really blends in, LOL

Solo pic. LOL xD
