Way Back When

Just when I thought most things have truly changed with time, I wish I could be at least closer to what I used to look before (if not better). Oh yeah! I honestly cannot put into words how to describe my life 7 years before but one thing is for sure, it was certainly a memory I'll cherish for years and more. Here’s my throwback Thursday post - a glimpse of how amazing my college days were.  

One Summer in September

September, as we all know in the Philippines is the climate for tropical monsoon and it's very seldom to experience a good sunny weekend. Thankfully, last Saturday was a good day for me and friends to go out for a pool party at one of the private houses with hot spring pool in Calamba, Laguna. And making the most of our day tour, I brought my GoPro Hero 3 to take underwater pics and videos. Here are few of my favorite shots! :-)

Disneyland Hong Kong

Like every child’s fantasy, it’s also my dream to witness and experience Disneyland.  Though I know my age is no longer considered as a kid, I still feel like a young person at heart (always). One of my happy memories as a kid is watching Disney films because I’m such a fan of fairy tales and happy ending stories. And to finally see Mickey Mouse, Cinderella, Snow White and Simba in real life is like a dream come true to me.

Learn and Dine at Gotti’s Ristorante

Do you know that most authentic Italian dishes only have four to eight ingredients? And that cheese and wine are the primary ingredients of their cuisine? I didn’t know about that not until last Saturday when we had our lunch at one of Italian restaurants inside the Mall of Asia Complex, Gotti’s Ristorante. Guess what else I’ve learned from this food trip, you better read more!

Time, Money & Courage

It gets a little frustrating at times when you see your college or even high school batch-mates on Social Media sharing proud moments and having the time of their lives while you are trapped in the same old situation (deprived and a little unfulfilled). You can deny all you want but deep inside you know you desire to be as successful as they are. Hey, don’t worry. You’re not alone because I have this kind of sentiments too. It sucks, right? But one thing is for sure, we should not let this petty emotions get the best of us. I know there are still a lot of candles to burn but let’s embrace the experience and use it to be better than what we were before.
