Thank you!

The new year is arriving….although it’s been a tough 2008, I survived. For one, I learned that I can survive living on my own. Although it involved 2 months of being a vegetarian (not by choice, but lets just say lack of cooking skills), I survived the first four months of it and I’m still alive. Bills, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, and budgeting, once i never thought I could deal with, I did, somehow.

I’m also with someone who I truly care for and who cares for me too. Which I feel very lucky for having. Thank you (you know who you are!)

Sooooo….  Thank you to everyone who’s part of my life and for sticking with me. You are all awesome!

This will be short and sweet, I’m ending this year a very happy person. And hopefully it would stick for the next couple of years. I truly feel that I am living.

I wish you all a very Happy New Year! Good health, love, and all the good stuff in this world.

Merry Christmas

Dear Friends,

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas all the way from Palawan.

If you don’t celebrate Christmas, well.. Happy Holidays

Love, Kamila

Christmas in the Philippines

Sooo… December has finally arrived.  I’m slowly counting the days before I leave for the Philippines. My parents just managed to buy me a plane ticket last week, which was crazy expensive. It was all because my school wouldn’t tell us when we’ll be having exams until mid-November so this plane ticket to Philippines will be my Christmas present for the next 5 years or something. Anyways, I AM SOOOOO EXCITED!! We’ll be having a huge family reunion at our house in Palawan with my mom’s sisters and brothers. This is probably the first time in what? 5-7 years that we’ll all be spending Christmas together. SO that should be exciting.

Apart from being with the family again, Christmas, good food, warm weather, etc… I’ll also get to be with  my special someone. You know who you are. SO yeah, I’m all pumped up for going back home again. The 20 hours that it would take for me to actually get to Puerto Princessa is soooooo worth it. I’ll be in the Philippines for a month and then come back here to be welcomed by my very first exam in uni, which is somehow exciting but at the same time scary since it’s an oral exam and I’m not a big fan of oral exams.  ANYWAY, even though vacation is sooo close, I have this big school project that I have to do first before I can sit back and relax and think about drinking mango shakes, eating bagoong, and bear hugging my lolo.

At the same time, my procrastinating levels have hit an all time high. I KNOW I should be doing my project, but somehow I always get that urge to just go check what’s going on online even though I just checked like 15 minutes ago. Next thing I know I’m watching videos on YouTube,  reading Photoshop tutorials, and/or browsing through forums. And next thing I know it’s 5am in the morning. Great.

Anyway, that’s all that has been going on. Nothing exciting has been happening lately partly because I’m too lazy to get off the computer and breath fresh (and very cold) air. But yeah, this week involves Christmas shopping, trying to finish the project, and packing. I know it’s only 3 things, but the amount I procrastinate now, those three things can easily take up two weeks.

Have a good day
