I haven't actually posted anything for the last week because I haven't actually really done anything!  My borther insisted on coming back to Manila to shop, so we've been malling pretty much exclusively since we got back into town.  But finally we left the city for another island of paradise ( Read more... )

And I'm not talking about myself or Adam Sandler!  So we went to my cousin's wedding in Baguio, which was lovely.  A good time was had by all...

Baguio is a beautiful city, with a climate much like Vancouver's in the summertime, including coniferous trees which are normally absent from the Filipino landscape.  It's a mountainous area, so the climate ( Read more... )

I wish I had more time to update, it's so difficult getting any solid time on the internet when your relatives are taking you sightseeing.  But at the moment I've got some computer time at my mom's cousin's place here in San Fernando.  San Fernando is in the province of La Union, which is about 6 hours north of Manila.  It's a beautiful area, quite ( Read more... )

So my cell phone is gone.  I, being the idiot I am, managed to leave it in a taxi while riding around in Manila last night.  Grrrrr ( Read more... )

Travelling with the family is always a little challenging.  It would be nice to say that I have lots of free time while I'm on vacation, but my relatives and immediate family own about 95% of that time.  That being said, it still beats being at school or at work ( Read more... )

Right now it's pissing rain here on Boracay, which kinda defeats the purpose of the beaching and the sun.  So I'm holed up in an internet cafe, which means I can catch up on the blog!

If there's one thing that you can appreciate about Boracay, aside from the beautiful beach, it's the food.  The beachfront is like a 2.5km international food court - ( Read more... )

Right now I am in Boracay, a tiny island in the Philippines that boasts one of the most beautiful beaches in the world (White Beach).  At this moment I am tucked away in an internet cafe that overlooks the beach, which is just fine because it's pretty late at night here so there's nothing to really see ( Read more... )

Just arrived in Manila late last night.  Traffic at the airport was a nightmare - it took our ride almost an hour just to get around the terminal to pick us up!  We're staying the Orchid Gardens Resort in Malate; the hotel was an old 1920's mansion, it's quite nice.  After breakfast we took a taxi to a relative's condo in Makati, which is where I ( Read more... )

Hello good friends ( Read more... )

I graduated!

Which is a funny concept considering I'm coming back for a second year at CCPA.  But I finished my eight months of intensive performing arts training, and I have graduated with a Certificate in Performing Arts.  And not only that, I got another award!  It's for Outstanding Progress.  At first I thought it might be one of those awards ( Read more... )
