Christmas Break: Surigao

Dec. 27 - 29, we went to Surigao for a break. Stayed at Gateway Hotel which they have this awesome food to eat. Saw our long-time-no-see cousin, Kuya Christian, who just arrived from his sailing. Of course, he gave us dada for Christmas gift, though it's late. Thanks Kuya! We missed his two sisters, Ate Tonette and Ate Gretchen, it's really been a long time since we last saw them (maybe that was way back 2007). We can't really get together now like really close get together cos our parents are out of the country and our grandparents are gone, so sad, I know. Unlike the old good times, we always see each other every summer, hang-out at our grandparents' home and eat and eat and eat (FAAAAAAT). I miss the old goooood sooo gooood times. I wish I can turn back the time! :( Enough for that. Here are some photos of us relaxing in Surigao! Thanks Yanna for the photos :)

I really had fun staying in Surigao just for a few days. Happy to visit my father and grandparents at the cemetery. It's been a while since I last visited them. Happy Holidays to all!

Hawaiian Christmas Party

Our college, College of Rehabilitative Sciences, celebrated Christmas Party at Maribago Blue Waters last Friday, December 16. It was a fun night. Before the party started (around afternoon), we, the OTs, attended a team building, which made us more active and knowledgeable about our course. It was so tiring and of course, we all had fun. It was a bonding of 1st-4th year OTs. After all, we changed clothes for the party, unfortunately, it rained so heavy. BV conquered us, but when time passes, it cooled down, God is so good. And the night turned out to be an awesome-unforgettable night ever!

Though I haven't seen Brylle but then the band (which is also the one who performed in our school's students night), Geek, Matt Mina and of course my mates made my night. CDU-College of Rehabilitative Sciences rock! =))

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

I am done reading Banished and I can't wait to read the next book, Unforsaken.

Yesterday, me and my block mates had manito-manita at Parkmall. And then, I got this book as a Christmas gift from a close friend, Chin. I'm so thankful to have a kind of friend like her! This book is Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. I am currently in Chapter 6 already. So here's some infos about this book.

"You can't touch me," I whisper. I'm lying, is what I don't tell him. He can touch me, is what I'll never tell him. But things happen when people touch me. Strange things. Bad things. No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal, but The Reestablishment has plans for her. Plans to use her as a weapon. But Juliette has plans of her own. After a lifetime without freedom, she's finally discovering a strength to fight back for the very first time—and to find a future with the one boy she thought she'd lost forever.

I know this is interesting and I can't wait to finish reading this! Thank you so much, Chin! Merry Christmas! :)
