First Sembreak Getaway!

These past few days have been an emotional roller coaster ride for me as I couldn't figure out how to contain my happiness anymore. God has been very nice for blessing me with such great friends.

Some of my friends have been planning this trip for about 3 or 4 months already but our schedules just won't allow us to go until two days ago. Most of my friends study in UP Los Banos (including me) while some are in UP Diliman, UP Manila, Ateneo and La Salle. We made sure that we visit some of them when we went to Katipunan and Manila.

• Our day started with our little surprise for my friend Maica who celebrated her 18th birthday last October 18. I layouted a tarpaulin design for her. Most of the pictures included were bikini pictures since she's referred to as the bikini bod of our batch.

Maica with the tarpaulin =))

• A pseudo couple for a day was formed on our way to Katipunan. Maica + JV = ♥

• Strolled around UP Diliman for a while and met up with UPD friends Jonah and John Gab.

• Maica treated all of us for lunch at Manang's Fried Chicken. Thanks M! :)

• Lara showed us around Ateneo and I found it really huge and nice. There weren't much people around when we went so the atmosphere was really quiet and sort of peaceful.

Lara's epic pose!

Couple pictures ahead! They were totally cuuuuute together!

• Killed some time at Sofia Bellevue in our batchmates' condo. We really had a great time here! Everyone was laughing and enjoying each other's company.

• Picked up Jello in her dorm then went straight to Moonleaf to try the famous milk tea! YAY! Bea and I have been dying to try it out. Almost everyone tried their bestseller Wintermelon Milk Tea. Of course I had it without pearls because I hate them on my drinks. Haha! It was yummy and not that bad but I just wish they had it in smaller sizes. I only drank like half of it since the serving was too big for my tummy. 

Supposed to be JV. LOL

• We dropped by Taft to pick Jan from La Salle then we headed off to Robinson's Manila to meet with UPM friends Jerome, Jim and Dudi. Jerome didn't make it, though, because of a project defense or something.

• Killed time in Timezone and played some games. My arms still hurt from targeting the sharks in one of the games. Competitive much? Hahaha

Lara's (center) face while playing Deal or No Deal. Hahaha!

• Ate dinner in Kangaroo Jack. Funny how it only occurred to me now that my friend Jan who's sometimes called Jack was with us when we ate at Kangaroo Jack.

Everyone! ♥

• Last stop! Jan treated us ice cream at Dairy Queen. <3

It's quite sad that some of our friends couldn't join us because obviously the van couldn't fit us all. I had fun with these guys, nonetheless! This day was one of those days that you won't mind repeating all over again no matter how tiring it gets. Everyone was just having fun!

I spent the next day having lunch with Nika and visiting UPRHS with other friends after eating. It is always a trip down to memory lane moment when I'm with my High School batchmates. I miss everyone! :'(

So, I guess, semestral breaks are not just about staying up until 3 am to watch series episodes and waking up at 12 noon to have Brunch. I could get used to this kind of fun. Who says I don't have a life outside the internet, now?
