Sunkissed

Normally, a summer vacation means going to the beach and getting "nog-nog" under the sun with your family, which we call "Outing" in the Philippines. Since our family is filled with ordinary people, we had our family outing.

Here in Spain, whenever possible and as long as they see Mr. Sun melting everyone else, they hit the beach or the pool. Most don't swim, but just allow themselves to get their desired body color - which is of course to get darker. They love the sun! It's just funny how most Filipinos are so afraid of the sun, afraid to get darker. Well, we should all respect everyone's wants for one's satisfaction.

Itlog na pula in the house. holler!

I can't explain myself how much I miss eating filipino food. Then I just found myself eating salted egg for dinner. By the way, it's home made.

Fast Forward

Don't you just get that feeling when you're in the present, yet you suddenly feel excited about the future. What's even weird is you have no idea what's gonna happen, yet you're psyched.

When we came here at Spain, it was definitely so friggin' cold. That made us cover ourselves with couple or more clothes when going out. I said that time, I want it to be summer already. You know, so that it won't be that hard to dress up right away. It was really a hassle dressing up while shivering. brrrr!

T-A-T-A: It's Adventure Time!

Inscripcion al Programa : "OCLO EN FAMILIA 2012"

"Headstart"
Dia 5: Playa de la Arena - Horario de 11:00 a 17:00
1st thursday did not gave much a good start. It was a bit rainy in the morning so they had to change the venue of our trip. It supposed to be at the beach (as stated), and we were brought to Santurtzi's Polydeportivo, at the swimming pool. That's one thing we hate about the weather here, it's so unpredictable! Because be like 12 noon, it was already friggin' hot.

Santurtzi Jaietan El Carmen 2012

Being able to be part of the annual festivity your residing place holds is joy. And this is why Santurtzi gathers a plus 1 to my love to it.

Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?

One of Sikap Association's creative ideas of reuniting Filipinos in Bilbao Spain every once in a while is the pageant, Mrs. Filipinas Euskadi where moms who have the guts to show the world that they are more than what other people think they are get to compete with each other in different categories. Not just by beauty, but by their talents, sociability, confidence, how they bring up an outfit and brains. Each one of them sure have a woman's face, yet a with a man's side of being "palaban".

Everything was more than you could have imagined

As Santurtzi's Lagun Zaharrak Abots Zuriak enhances their God's given gifts, they got to perform at Frias, Burgos last July 7, 2012. My sister and I am part of this group, but only the seniors sang. As for us, the newbies, we were able to see how a choral concert works especially in my case 'cause it's the first time I ever attended one. But I can really say that it's so awesome!

Fiesta para los alumnos

For like two months of attending Castellano lessons at Mamariga Kulturgunea with the help of BAOBAT Association we could understand and say a little spanish though. Thanks for our professors' kind an understanding minds for giving us their time.

114 and counting...

June 17, 2012, my siblings and I attended the annual Independence Day celebration here at Spain for the first time with our parents. Though I have seen the schedule of events on the invitation given, I was still wondering on what would happen, maybe more specifically. By the way, this celebration was arranged by the SIKAP Association.

A Date with Myself

my view

One problem I suffer when I want to write is how to begin with it creatively. Sure topic counts too, and things you woundn't want to miss in your piece. But I say that the best things to be written is what comes to your mind when you're alone, probably daydreaming. For me, they're like jackpot prizes that wouldn't just pop right away the moment you need it the most. But I find them tricky and acts as a good conscience 'cause they somewhat reminds you of some things which can help you be awake and realize things that bothers you. If only I can do it, I would write whatever comes into my mind as I walk to the street, see some things, normal or something that might amaze me. How I wish I really could. Or do I just wish to be with my bestfriend whom I can talk about anything to?
