The Big One-Nine

Geog1 camp has been a huge success. I’ve made new friends (and enemies) during our two-day stay in Batangas. The activities have been tiring, but because our class has become closer and more consolidated, they’re worth our time. Dang, I don’t think everybody knows this but I’m afraid of high and elevated places. I know, it’s a bit ironic since I’ve lived in Baguio for a year, but I easily get dizzy just staring down from a mall’s 2nd floor. I’m proud to say that I’ve overcame the fear a little when I participated in an activity which requires me to stop being a wimp: Rapelling. I’m lucky I’ve gotten out alive.

I would’ve taken tons of pictures, but my digital camera’s batteries have died on me. Boo! So I’m waiting for my classmates to upload the pictures in a Photobucket account we’ve made. There must have been about 200-300 shots, swear. Si Ron kasi, halos lahat ng kilos namin dapat may picture, haha.

Sunday, the 13th of August, I turned 19. =)

It was also the day we had to leave the place. It was a bit sad. I would’ve enjoyed more if it didn’t rain. Aww, all those things we did became nothing but memories. Drama, drama, drama. The next day, our bodies were all sore. But at least we had fun, right?

Yesterday, my mom, my brother Robby, Ate Susan, my cousin Ate Dianne, and I went to Gateway and SM Cubao to hang out. It was fun. We took loads of pictures.

I’ve had my hair cut. It’s been more than a year since I’ve last visited a salon as I normally cut and trim my hair myself. I hate short hair because it makes me look younger and, according to Antonio, more feminine. How can I go out with 25-year-old guys now?! Haha! View the pictures in my Multiply.

I’m going to return comments now. Then rest afterwards. This fever has to go.

    I used to be scared of heights too. But when we moved to a building, I had to overcome it ’cause we live in the 21st floor! @_@ Haha, ako rin! Dapat lahat ng kilos, may picture. Kahit isang kindat, dapat ma-capture!

    Belated happy birthday! *hug*

    Shari, my err, sis!!1!exclamationpoint Lol. :) You’re back! *claps like a possessed cheerleader*

    Uh, I guess I can relate to your fear of heights, but when I’m rapelling or wall climbing, I feel safe because there’s a harness around me. Lol. :) So the only danger in sight if I lose my footing is that.. I’d hit my face on those cute rocks on the wall. =D

    You’re 19. I envy you. I’m turning 18 in a few months and I can’t wait. Haha, I can’t wait for the privileges. But the thing is, people still think I look 12. Lol. :) Happy birthday. :) Belated pala, I’m like three days late.

    Linking you now. Haha this is really weird, but I really missed Misteryosa.org. It’s such a beautiful domain. =D

    Gateway is heaven. Food heaven. :) I wouldn’t dare go shopping there, though. Fully Booked is an exception. =D

    Happy belated birthday, Shari!

    Hehe, wow, you actually cut and trim your hair by yourself?! I’m too scared to do that!! That’s why I get my hair cut once every 6 months. LOL. But your hair looks nice! It’s a little longer than mine’s right now. Hehe.

    Anyways, aww, I hope you’ll feel better soon!! *hugs*

    I don’t think you can call 19 a BIG One-Nine.. wait till you turn 20. haha. i am myselc scared of that age. i am no longer teen. shiiiet. lol. ako for some reason, i keep getting haircuts kahit na gusto ko talaga mahaba hair ko. ang khulet nga eh.

    that outing reminds me of a trip i had (nung andyan pa ako sa pinas) for Youfra (youth group). I went to this place where I made so much friends but this one guy hated me so much because I looked very masungit and laging naka sibangot at him.. i found out about it 2 weeks after the trip.. i felt really bad. tapos i tried texting him and stuff, di sha nag rereply.. so i guess naging kaaway ko sha. ABA MALAY KO BA!?
