I've been eating a lot these days and this photo above with my younger sister, Monica, is a proof to it! It's summer time and it's just the perfect time for me to pig out. I'm loading up on carbs for the working brain! No time for that so-called "beach body!" Haha. Don't you think we should learn to love our own bodies? Somehow they're designed to be that way. Everyone's unique and it would really be a plain world if all girls were skinny. Whatever size I am, I still want to go visit a beach or go skinny dipping in chlorinated water, swimming is just rejuvenating. I wish I could just dive into a pool and float myself to sleep after a long day. 

Pardon me for posting more photos of myself. Haha. Self-centered blog it is. I've been quite busy  these days but that doesn't mean that I've been pouring all my time with the review (though I wanted to) but my parents have been constantly reminding me since then, to balance things. This week, I had choir and dance practices to attend and I also skipped a day of review class to canvass and buy the right fabrics needed for a big event next month which I'm part of the costume committee. I hold other responsibilities too like being a Sunday school teacher and being a leader for young little girls is something I'd love to do. It's never easy at all and sometimes, I fall short of fulfilling my tasks but I never stop trying giving out my best. I just want to be anxiously engaged in a good cause. This is just how I would want to spend my time wisely and the fruits of it have always been fulfilling.

And to end this post, I'd like to share this candid photo of my niece, Rhaisa. She's still thirteen. See that youthful glow in her face? It's contagious and it just shows how carefree and zestful teenage life could be. Way back then, I wasn't as outgoing like most teenagers are now. Hee.

I'm loving Selena Gomez's Who Says. My sisters have been playing that song all over again for two weeks now. You better listen to its lyrics. It's beautiful. Everyone does have the right to a beautiful life. It's amazing how God created every living thing, and seeing it with a pharmacologically perspective makes it even more fascinating. 

All photos were taken last Monday, April 25. 

I got this pretty photo from my frappy, Jazel's post entitled Effervescent Memories. The picture is so heavenly. Thanks to the brilliant Althea Vergara! And I love the concept with those pastel-colored balloons, undeniably sweeeet! :) It's just sad that we're incomplete in this photo and fyi, we all wear black shoes with our school uniform but since we were just wearing casual clothes that day for this photo, not everyone was able to squeeze into our complete uniform look thus, the informality but hey, no big deal. Everybody looked prim and proper in the photo.

Days have passed, and our review classes will be over soon, things will change... Yes, we're out to that journey they call the 'paradigm shift'. It may be hard for the first few months because we've grown to see and spend time with each other almost everyday. And almost every minute of a school day where we share almost the same travails and rejoice at the same victory. But for those times when I tried to whine about maybe I had the chosen the wrong course, I think of them and say that "Boy, if I wasn't enrolled in this course, I wouldn't be able to meet these amazing people." We surely had the best memories together in our four years in college. We're a bit crazy at times (but I agree when they say that all the best ones are!) but speak about intellectual depth and character, that's them. And of course, I'd love to be counted in! Oh, I just love you guys. ♥

P.S.
I know we can make it on June!
*the optimism! haha ;)
