First and for most, yes, the title of this blog post is actually inspired by One Direction's song. And again yes, I will be talking about them as well in this post! (I know, I'm awesome thanks) Before we actually go deeper about the conversation about how amazing and fabulous I am, it's better if we talk about my one week stay in MNL! Or better yet the 'bakasyon muna bago exam' break!
No, this is not necessary to include (my gorgeous face, of freaking course) but again I am the author so deal with it. I'm not that bad, right? Right. Anyway, it's pretty sad for me to skip school for a week. Okay, maybe not. Maybe a little, I mean who likes school?! As one of my friends said "Inunahan mo na sembreak ah!" The reason why we came to Manila, Muntinlupa, Laguna, Caloocan, those hot like me places, is pretty negative. This trip though proved that we can and it is possible to turn bad things to great ones.
Travelling, this was what we did for 7 days. We were back and forth, from north to south and south to north! I couldn't deny the fact that it was really exhausting! Of course, freaking traffic also had to get in the way. Although it pained my body from all the heat, walking and sitting it was enjoyable too. Especially because I was accompanied by rad people.
Mall hopping is a different thing though. It was 99.9 % tiring but it was definitely fun! Most especially if your intention in the mall is to see 5 gorgeous lads in the big screen! I'm not gonna lie but I had post movie depression. Uh-huh, it was that good!
Mall to mall we tried different things, which I find rather adventurous. This may or may not be my favorite thing. Drum roll please, Snow Ice from Holly's Coffee! Heaven. (Prepare yourselves because its really mouth watering) Snow Ice, literally speaking is shaved ice milk with ice cream on top but the best thing about this was the flavor I chose. Mango cheesecake - vanilla ice cream on top, milk ice, fresh sweet mangoes, cheesecake and of course mango syrup!
Of course, they had to make me love them more! This waffle is delicious, not because of the fact that my name was in their but rather because of that whip cream and syrup which I seemed to love on my crispy waffle. Okay, the syrup too which I hesitantly ate because I didn't want to ruin the text. You'll do that too if you were in my shoes at that moment. *winks*
This break made me happy too. Considering the fact that I get to spend a week with my relatives back home. Not gonna lie, I enjoyed bonding with two of my most favorite boys in the world too. I felt like a sister, a real one. They were the cutest, yeah runs in our blood, they got it from me. Even though they were naughty as hell, they make me happy. One week with them made me realize how lucky I am that I have them. We may fight a lot but one day I'm going to make these two admit that I'm the coolest sister in the world!
That week made me realize how blessed I am. To have a supportive, loving and caring family. From pampering me since day one of the week, treating me with knits and food in day two, greeting and making me feel loved, accompanying me in the theater, treating me with really great waffle & coffee that my taste buds loved in day three, recognizing and appreciating me in day four. letting me relax in day five, playing basketball and interacting with me in day six & providing me with not just my needs but also my wants in day seven. One week is not even one third of all the things they've done.

That week made me realize that even the smallest pleasures, are better than expected. How the skies would turn in to various shade is beautiful itself. How the water is so blue and how it is so cool against my skin is enough relaxation. How the buildings are so tall that robbers would have a hard time caving in. How the plants are green and just so green that it made me crave for lettuces. I'm kidding, I wanted salad with Asian dressing. There is always a beautiful thing behind those ugly situations. It is our mission to delve, conquer and try to experience. It is our job to radiate positive vibes despite the negative things we deal with.
Lastly, I've realized how obsessed I am with vines on walls now. I think I'm gonna cry!

Its not that I'm encouraging you to skip school or anything. It's just that we really had to go to MNL and I just took the opportunity to enjoy myself while I had the chance. Though, I knew the consequences and sure enough it stabbed me at the back. In return, I took 8 exams consecutively and I'm surprised I haven't fainted. Even though we're enjoying and whatnot, we must know how to prioritize things as well :)
