"Akala ninyo bakasyon na kayo?"
I thought my brain just melted when I heard my thesis adviser told me this. After one hellish and toxic semester, it's quite depressing to know that it may never end. Still got tons of requirements due next week and it's almost November. Goodness.
Now you know why my "season break" is taking longer than what was originally planned. And it's been exactly a month already since my last update. Gah. I missss this blog, I miss making videos. And I'm here to tell everyone (uh, anyone there?) that I'm still alive and plans for my next batch of vlogs are now in the works.
Oh, right. I twitted a couple of weeks ago that my Dad went to a business trip in Thailand. I might do a vlog on this with a special guest vlogger (guess who). And now, let me just show you a little preview - a sneak peek to Thailand's culture and performing arts:
Here's my Dad:
And speaking of Thailand, a big shout out to my cousin, Iris, who flew to Thailand months ago for work. Cuz! Since Thailand has already lifted its ban on YouTube, you can watch me now. Yey! Hehe. Miss you. (Uh, I think Mufasa there is eyeing for your hand)
And now for some cam whorage with my new Thailand shirt, another panga exposure for everyone. Haha!
More updates in the coming days, guys. I'm back. =)
Of summer, that is. Since classes started this June, can't seem to fully adjust to the new schedule I have to put up with. Maybe I miss the super hot days when I have no reason to leave the house or even get out of bed, the events we have to organize, or staring at the computer 'til dawn. It's hard to focus on academics when Wifi can reach you almost everywhere and blog hopping could be as easy as a sit in the park. I need to let go.
So now, on the turn of a new month, I will firmly stand by my decision to leave behind (temporarily) some "luxuries" I had back then. Looking back, it's been fun but I just have to think-- Dude, you're graduating dammit! -- and that should shake me up and put my priorities in place.
This week's been pretty hectic with all the enrollment madness at U.P. Diliman. So I thought I could make a simple, editing-lite video about our recent trip to Nueva Ecija for my Grand Ma's 70th birthday and about my cousin, Iris "Ate Ahpol" who left for Bangkok Thailand just days ago.
Iris is from Cebu and we were fortunate enough to have her with us before she flies off the country. So after celebrating at Nueva Ecija, since we were all tired with all the hours of travel, we spent her last day at our home back here in Cavite, watching Happy Slip and CokskiBlue videos. Talk about boredom. Hehe.
This video podcast also features my brother, Jet and his usual laid-back self. This is a first time so watch out for my annoying laughs and boring questioning. Be nice.
This was recorded last June 4, 2007, 7:00 PM, an hour before Ate Ahpol left for the airport. I really miss her. We all grew up together, with my brother and my other cousin, (Iris' sister) Peachy. We were the ultimate Ninja Turtles back then and we used to make up Jumanji riddles like "In the banyo you must wait, till the dice read 5 or 8". Haha. We always find something to laugh about. It's hard to even imagine that they're not an hour-flight away anymore; that the chances of a C-Squared reunion (our imaginary band) is so little now. Sigh. Oh well, I'm looking forward to our Boracay luau and maybe in 5 years, I will be making a video blog about the four of us in Bangkok.
The music is by none other than, my very talented cousin, Peachy. I love the song. Hope you guys like it too.

And now she's in Bangkok! Check out her latest blog entry: BKK and Me.
