Travelogue: Happiness is Unlimited

It's the most awaited trip in our school. At first, I didn't want to join but my classmates told me that it's going to be exciting. So, I decided to join.

3 am. I woke up at 3 am because I don't want to be late at our field trip. But our departure time were not followed by the coordinator because they still waited for my classmates but we still enjoy our time in the bus.

We only have one hour to explore the places in our first destination, The Garden in Philippine Arena. Such a beautiful place. Everything are insta-worthy to capture. I didn't waste my time and I asked my friend to take a picture with me in every places. The flowers, animals, and even the structures are the best. Even if the sun shines very high, it is not a hindrance for us to explore the place.

From Bulacan to Laguna, not that far. Good thing because the day get along with us. There are no traffic and we spent 1 hour to travel to Laguna and I charged myself and sleep. I was so excited when I saw our next destination, Enchanted Kingdom. It's my first time, that's why I didn't control myself and act like a child when I saw the rides.

I enjoyed everything in that place. We rode every rides and even the extreme rides. It doesn't matter if the line in every rides took up so long but it's all worth it. Especially, if the fam squad are the ones who joined me. Hazel, Joshua, Chey, Nicole, Jece, Tine, Janna, Rhafel. We literally enjoyed everything. That day was a blast. Looking forward for more field trip with them. I didn't regret joining our field trip because it's unforgettable.

Music Review: Little Things

"I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth. But if I do, it's you... oh it's you they add up to you. I'm in love with you. And all these little things"

I really love this song so much. Of all the songs 1D made, this is my favorite. I feel like the song was dedicated to me. I can't help but feel so in love whenever I hear their voice. Especially, when Niall Horan do his guitar moves. I feel like they serenading me.

The lyrics was very real. Every words came to their mind and mix it and turned into a song that's for the fans. The first song of them that I love up until now. This is the reason why I'm fan girling to them. 

The song was all about the girl who has many flaws in her body and even in her attitude but he didn't mind because he still loves her just the way she are.  She's the illustration of the quote "simplicity is beauty" and he fall in love with her over and over again.

When I listen to this music, I always think if this guy really exist in reality and I wish someone will sing this for me while strumming his guitar and this is the way to confess his true feelings for me. I guess my imagination was so wide but I'm still hoping.

Feature Writing: Tara na sa Talavera, Nueva Ecija!

"It's good to be back home again... sometimes feel so far, feels like a long lost friend. Hey, it's good to be back home again."

Rice fields, sunny weather, a house that made up of stone. That's the province of my father. Talavera, Nueva Ecija. 

We always go here when the vacation starts. We didn't forget the fiesta there. Our family and my relatives here in Manila always plans to go there because it will also be our family reunion. 

Ever since when I was a child, I always take my vacation in our province. There's a lot of experience here for me. Like, first time going to perya, first swimming lesson, first learning how to bike, and many more firsts. My cousins, nephew and nieces there are very close to me. And of course, my love grandparents who looks like my second parents because they really know me a lot. I don't want to say this but whenever I go in Talavera, tatay and nanay (my grandparents) spoils me a lot hahahaha lol. But they do this because I go here seldom. Even if they didn't do this, I still love them and care for them. 

I really miss going here, it's been a year since my last vacation in our province. I miss the people here. Looking forward for more great experience and going here with my parents and I hope there's going to be a reunion for the whole Reña family.

Food Blog: Wizard... Hogwarts?Café?

Expecto Patronum... The famous spell that was used in the movie, Harry Potter. That is also the word I said when I saw this place. The Nook Café. A harry potter inspired café. Located at 164 Maginhawa St. Diliman, Quezon City. I'm just browsing on the internet then this place pops out. I got curious, so I searched more about nook café. When I saw the review, it's all positive. I informed my friends immediately and set the date when we will go there. The place outside was a little bit catchy. It's just a small café. It is not crowded but the people eating inside was kind of classy and they looked like a student and a young businessman. We went upstairs and decided to eat there. We order the pasta, the fried potatoes with different sauce, and also their best-selling product, butterbeer. It tastes so good! Who does have bad comments from that drink? If you taste it, it taste like heaven. From outside up to inside, the place was so good. Even the coats from the different groups: Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. They have it. And the hat that's talking in the movie, and the famous wands, they also have it. The café was inspired from the room of Harry Potter under the stairs in their uncle's house. That's why they named it, Nook. They also have the swing where you can lie and a lot of books to read. The walls have a design of hogwarts. The service of the crew are well manage.

When I entered Nook Café, I felt like I was in England. They also have a free wall where you can put your comments about the place. I don't regret coming here because it was a great experience with my friends. I'm not a potterhead but even if you're not a fan, you'll surely love it. Calling all the attention of potterheads and muggles, this place is meant for you.will go there.

Mood Board: Stargazing

Who else don't want seeing the stars? If you say "me", sorry, but I feel so sad for you.

Whenever I look up in the sky every night and there's a lot of stars, I feel so relieved. I feel like I'm safe, no worries, and I feel like the stars hugging my body. It's my stress reliever and they're the ones the lift up my mood when I feel very tired and worrying about anything.

The looks of it, shining, shimmering, and it feels like moving are the characteristics I love for the stars. Even the skies were dark, they glow in there own just to remind us that even if you feel like sad, just look at the brighter side of your life to not just easily give up and learn how to conquer your sadness. I really love the weather when it's normal and it's not cloudy because I can clearly see all the stars. I'm a night thinker, that's why when I looked in our window then suddenly the universe agreed with my emotion and a lot of stars revolving around my space, I think about anything positive and it gives me a lot of hope. I really thank God for creating this kind of art in the universe.

Someday, I want a house that has an attic and my bedroom place there, so that, before I go to sleep, I just look in the window and start to stargaze.

Someday, I want to see a shooting star and if that happens, I'll going to check it on my bucket list.

Someday, someone will join me looking at the stars and mesmerizing everything. He's going to be my partner for my whole life and he's going to look at me the same way I look at the stars and he'll going to hold my hands and feel so love. I can't wait for that to happen. But first, I'll give my heart to God because He's the one who'll give it to the right man that deserve my heart, the man that deserves me.

Stars. When I hear this word, A lot of things running through my mind. That's why the stars lift my mood to the higher level. I love them just the way they are. My rg

"Free as She could Be" Clouds come floating on the sky Just being free and not minding the people down And try to be friends with the birds And just moving like it used to be When the sun shines, it's still there When the rain started to pour down It choose to remain there All I think is that the cloud is so strong But sometimes I wish I'm just like the clouds Trying to be free as it could be No worries, just being carefree But reality hits me I'm in the world that deals with anything I learned that I can't always be happy And after realizing what happen in my life I just accepted the reality living in this world. -k.x

Holding on to you, to keep from falling Your eyes are closing now Another chapter's ending

[11anothergirl11]

I always think of you before I fall asleep. The words you said, the way you looked. The things we laughed about, the silent moments we shared And when I dream, I’ll dream of you. Because it’s about you, it’s always about you.
