Thanks to the great 1 Peso Cebu Pacific Sale, the Wanderlust Chronicles already has bookings for 2010, this time expanding to North East Asia! Awesome!

I was up until 3 AM and had to wake up at 8 to double confirm the bookings - but it's all done, and it definitely worth it! It was all sooo exhilirating, soo much fun! The fares were dirt cheap - crazy I tell you! Get this - I'm flying to Japan for the cost of a meal here in Singapore. And the flight to Korea was even cheaper than that. OMFG! This is it! Plus, I finally get to apply for visas! I'm so damn excited!

Oh God, I miss feelings like this, it has been a while since the last time I booked tickets. It's an addiction I tell you! No matter how hectic life is, the craze of coordinating dates and passport details always gives me a high. It's just been too long, I forgot how good the feeling was!

Big shout out of thanks to Jigjig who told me all about this. What they say is really true - it's not what you know, its who you know AND what they know! ha ha!

Seriously, Halloween hates me.

I was born in 1987 - which means I've been through four presidents and 2 EDSA revolutions and some that claim to be. This also means that I've been through three presidential elections, one where I actually went to our nearest public elementary school to vote. That also means, I've been through all of the things that define Philippine presidential elections - from mud-slinging to the cheating controversies. But it's not all bad - in fact, I think it's one of the best and most entertaining periods of any election year! Take this for example:

A pessimist would say that it's amazing how a death could bring another person's political career to life. But to be honest, this particular ad made me feel good, made me feel hopeful about the Philippines and what it could be.

Maybe it's because it's star studded - heck, it's a friggin constellation. (got to love celeb cameos!) But i guess, it's more of the fact that I believe the Philippines needs a president that will unify all of us, lead us to one direction (and of course continue the legacy of PGMA. haha biased much? haha).

Is Noynoy the answer? After seeing this ad, maybe. That's what I have now, a "maybe." If only there's another video that talked more about him instead of his parents, then maybe that "maybe" can turn into a resounding yes!

One thing's for sure, I'm definitely going home to vote. Definitely.

Sigh the stupid VC field trip ruined our plan of going to Disney Halloween today (Wednesday). And even though the last day is the 31st, we are left with a bunch of work and bad timing, which means we couldn't go at all. After planning for a month! Damn the teacher.

The field trip was like a kindergarten field trip--going to a cultural museum, riding on a bus... the only difference was that the "picnic" lunch was replaced with a dinner at a cheap cafe, with pasta that's so disgusting it's like eating glue. D: My friends and I were planning to leave after the museum visit, but in the end, we stayed for everything, because we were too chicken to tell the program leader (although one did left by calling the TA, which was...).

Good thing tomorrow's a day off. A real day off.

I miss having someone to read over my essays.

When was the last time that this had happened?

I've finished my critique of Naoki Honjo. Feeling somewhat accomplished, although I am in desperate need of a reader. lol.

I love the gentle breeze. The hot humid summer is finally ending. Somehow, the breeze and the smell reminded me of California.

Yesterday during MC class, my San Francisco lecturer told us about a question that his friend asked him, "What do you miss most about the states?" My lecturer's answer was, "Pies." Pies?

Answering the question, the first thing that came to my mind was the environment. Then hamburgers--most notably, In-N-Out burgers. The beach too. And maybe the oversized McDonald's meals. But seriously, pies? I've never had a real "American pie" before; cherry pies, apple pies, etc... the pies with the little holes on top, so you could see what's inside. I'd rather eat ice cream than pie, back then.

So now, here's one thing I've actually never tried before in the states: a real American pie. Have I? I've eaten those small ones, those pie "pockets" that come in a large pack, with lemon and apple flavors. Those were way too sweet, like fake flavored-syrup. My mom used to pack those for our lunches and I got so sick of them I just throw them away and buy those 50 cents Ruffles (cheddar & sour cream) or 25 cents chewy chocolate chips instead. O_o;;

Oh and those chili fries and chili dogs. I hate those. I like the sauce, but I hate the beans. We used to have a band festival at middle school and we'd have chili dinner. My sister and brother loved the dinner, but I hated it. I wonder what I ate? Salad? I forgot. And then I'd be off to play and perform. What was this festival called? I forgot.

It makes me sad that I've forgotten about these things. It's like, I'm no longer part of that place anymore.
