the kangaroo communique --> back-up style!

For those of you who didn't know, I just spent the last four days in Coron, Palawan.

Took lots of pics and wrote a lot, so I'll be splitting the entries up to save everyone's browsers. orz

( May 29 to June 1. )


Part Two is over here!

With all the stuff that's happened between this year and now, my mom has been pushing the family into going on as many vacations as possible -- most of my older brothers have flown the coop, and it's only a matter of time before the rest of us follow. My latest family trip was to Batanes, otherwise known as the Storm Region of the Philippines. It was just me, my parents, my younger brother Peter and my Tita (aunt) Alen this time around -- Paolo didn't want to spend, and Petrik and Pio's sides of the family weren't available.

Frankly speaking, they all missed out on going to what is perhaps the most beautiful (or at least the most picturesque) area of our country.

WARNING: I COULD NOT STOP TAKING PICTURES OF THE SCENERY THROUGHOUT THE TRIP. I TOOK OVER 100 PHOTOS DURING MY STAY AND IT SHOWS IN THIS ENTRY. D: There are HUGE, and I mean, HUGE pictures under the cut in between TL;DR rambling and a lot of spazzing/silliness -- there are also even more photo entries under links throughout the blurbs. The photo quality isn't all that great either, since I took these shots with my camera phone. orz I DON'T HAVE A REAL CAMERA OKEY AND I DON'T WANT TO SPEND FOR ONE BECAUSE I'M SAVING UP FOR OTHER SHINY THINGS.

( The only thing constant about this place is the wind. )

...See, I know I should get a Multiply account now that I've taken to abusing Abel!Phone's camera, but getting one means maintaining yet another webpage. Besides, I think I suck at taking photos, and all of them are from a camera phone anyway. =_= Anyway.

( ZE GLORIOUS LJ CUTTAGE! )

And tomorrow, it's a commuting trip to Laguna, all for the love of ravyn_ashling.

Yes, yes. Drabbles, I know. *pushes yukitsu and archangel_dream down*

Btw, Code Geass 23 had its moments. Lelouch was, for one and as usual, the sole redeeming factor the whole episode. At least the Token Pink-haired Girl(tm) is finally dead.

I should've posted about this last night, but the article I had to write kept me occupied. I honestly think what I put out was shit. >_> So, if you want to read shit, watch out for it in the Lifestyle section sometime this week.

Anyway, the Tarlac trip was even more interesting than I thought it'd be... slept for an hour on both the trips coming there and going back, but given that I'd only slept five hours, that was expected.

Warning. Teh hueg pictures underneath the cut.

( Peter says I should get a Multiply account. )

The funny thing about this is I nearly didn't go. As yukitsu partially witnessed since she was online with me at the time, my knee acted up last Tuesday, and Mom had a Mother Moment. To make a long story short, she wanted to send Dad to cover my assignment for me.

Yep, I would have died of embarassment. I told them as much.

Now, on the knew, and other sometimes bad things that happened today.

• Mom made me push back DM planning for the doctor's appointment. Mom also freaks out when she discovers I'm a lone girl going to a guy's house to meet with him and one other guy. From today I have learned the virtue of the occasional safe lie to tell parents.
  
• I make miguel_zeruel and seranx scramble a bit to find a female beyond miguel_zeruel's immediate female family members or his girlfriend to be with me. I end up dragging yukitsu over to make sure I don't cancel the thing altogether. Sorry about that, minna. >_>
  
• Doc tells me to get an MRI. DM planing pushed back again. MRI was long and not as scary as medical dramas crank it up to be, and I get my results tomorrow. May get left behind over the weekend while the rest of my family goes to Puerto Galera. ._.
  
• DM planning eventually ensues after yukitsu and I arrive there after 5:00 PM. Ph33r, Panzer Division. Ph33r.
  

House has cursed me. I'm suddenly getting all these sicknesses and conditions now that I'm following the series. =_= *wants to watch episode 16 anyway*

On another note, Air was better than I thought it'd be. MUCH better. Shouldn't have watched the TV series first though, because the campy animation of the movie turned me off, especially since it basically tells the same story as the anime. The only difference is that it has an even sadder ending. .__.

...I'll go draw up that long overdue mod post for LO now.
