Wandering Wednesday: Hongkong 2015

A year ago, I had the chance to visit Hongkong for a few days. To say that I had a blast would be an understatement. In a time where I was extremely in the dumps, I'd say I gained a lot of learning from this short trip. And a lot of friends too! I came to this city without any direction (sometimes literally because I got lost a few times haha), but I have earned a whole new perspective about life, love and people in general.

Of Storms and Strength

There is a Grey's Anatomy quote for everything! And I find myself quoting lots of GA lines lately. Mainly because I have been looking forward to this week's new season premiere episode. And also because each line hits me so hard every time. Today, I am reminded that this storm, too, shall pass.

                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                     

Chasing the Valencia Waterfalls

I had the chance to tag along with my college friends and their workmates' Valencia tour a few weeks ago. For one, I didn't know about any tour (all I knew was that we were going straight to Pulang Bato). And second, I didn't know this trip was going to take HOURS. And because I am that person who doesn't prepare for trips, I ended up swimming in my underwear under that freezing water because I didn't have extra clothes. Those slippery rocks also played a trick on me and that eventually led to the painful demise of a precious toenail. (RIP toe)

Casaroro Falls. My ultimate goal was to count the exact number of steps going to Casaroro. I failed big time because I slipped and slid a lot of times. It's pretty surprising I only got a dead toe nail. 

How To Be Considerate

Phoebe Jhen's 18th

This girl has been in a few of my previous blog posts (here and here) so there's no denying how precious she is. The little sister I never had and the little lady who's got everything: talent, looks and a topnotch brain to boot. Is there anything she's not good at? Well for one, she has a bad posture haha. 

Anyhoo, Inday Jhen (as we fondly call her) and her family came all the way from Saskatchewan to celebrate her 18th birthday. This was their first homecoming trip since moving to Canada three years ago so everybody was extremely excited.

I don't have all the photos and  I failed to take some decent ones since I was hosting (with a bad croaky voice) so I'm leaving you with random shots and mostly group selfies my friends and I took. It was a night full of music, good food, laughter and a few happy tears. Happy Birthday Inday! You are blessed.
