Dearest Monarchypoopoo,
I never thought that that one week would forever change our relationship. Oha! Effective! HAHAHA! May pa-status-status and tweet ka pa! HAHAHAHA!
First is I wanna thank you for the unconditional love, the efforts, the support, the care, the transparency, the fun, the wrestles, the food and things we share, the wishful dreams, the time, and everything else. I really, really appreciate all those. You literally always save my life. Second, I want you to know that you’re very, very special to me, and I treasure you so much. That Monarch I knew last summer… is still the Monarch I see today—my ideal man. Always remember that, you tampururot poop :* I love you :)
Yours truly,
Raia Diyosa
Never have I imagined…
That I’d be able to wear trench coat in the Philippines, let alone in a wet market! Yay for Baguio!
I love the way Baguio makes my cheeks and nose instantly pink! HAHA! Saves me from spending money over some blush make-up
Little Red Riding Blazer
Notice the jogger in neon pink top jogging at my background.
The jogger has returned for me! HAHA. K. Nonsensical story.
The flowers I’ve seen at the sidewalks made me want to see the Panagbenga Festival!
I just had to include this photo. HAHAHA! Sorry, Jeanne!
That 5-day stay in Baguio City
Despite the bogus places we went during our stay, I still experienced a moment unforgettable! I fell deeply in love with 5 new people, plus, spent those 5 cute days with my 3 dearly best friends. This trip is just priceless.
On our way to Baguio. Woot woot!
Most of the time, we spent our asses eating at Baguio Country Club, which we probably have tasted their whole menu. Imagine: 5 days; brunch, lunch, late lunch, early or late dinner at BCC! Wasn’t able to take food photos that much ‘cause, well, not my thing to document.
THE APPETIZER. HAHA. Reason why we couldn’t finish our main meals.
BCC take-out. HELLO, FRIENDS! L-R: Gica, Eevee, Carlo, Jeff, Marie, Janine, yours truly, Jeanne, and Mikee
Our last meal at BCC. This is just so lonely. Some have left for Manila a day early, so the last day was just unbearable. HAHA.
If we’re not eating, we’re chilling at Marie’s beautiful place where everything is huge; from the house to the backyard! Plus, they have billiard table at their basement. Who would even want to leave their place?
Me and my roommates’ (Janine and Jeanne) first room. The view is just breathtaking. But, unfortunately, we’re such scaredy-cats and couldn’t handle the many wide windows and huge space. We’re scared of ghosts showing up in those spaces, okay. HAHA. So yeah.
Second living room where all the wonderful and not-so wonderful things happened. This is where me and my best friends made new friends. Also, where horrible dares from being a loser in the game “Pusoy Dos” happens. Horrible dares, as in, buwis buhay, immoral, babuyan-pagkatao dares. HAHAHA. You see, after what happened, I wouldn’t see bananas, lollipops, pancake syrup, toothpaste, raisin bread, spices, COFFEE, balut, gummy bears, etc. like before. And that’s a bad thing and good thing at the same time. This is actually the highlight of our trip. Ah, I miss!
Our first game. Team A: Jeanne, Mikee and I; Team B: Janine, Carlo and Eevee/Gica. So we won the game. Ha! Yay! Haha.
Just their backyard’s mini grotto.
So yeah, I would die to have their backyard/garden.
So, onto our pictures outside the house.
At some unfamiliar grotto
At Philippine Military Academy (PMA)
At Mines View Park
At Camp John Hay (outside the stupid outlet stores, haha!)
At Camp John Hay’s activity thingo. And with my Halloween date! Wasn’t able to ride the canopy and do rapelling because the electricity was out. Talk about bad luck.
At Baguio Country Club (BCC)
Some cute plant I bought at Mines View Park. HAHA! It’s a money gold plant with a rose cactus.
Second highlight of our Baguio stay is flying sky lanterns and almost burning houses and trees. Yay us!
Will make the photo dump of sky lanterns short ‘cause Mikee made a really awesome video of our sky lantern activity. Which you can check out here!
Last group photo. This is so saddening. Janine, Jeanne, Eevee, and Carlo are going back to Manila ahead of us. HAHAHA, clingy us. <3
Gica and I look so devastated after the four went back home. HAHAHA.
Well, that’s about it! And can I just say how much I miss them already? HAHA. Clingy much!
Pinkness and Dogness
Something Gold
OOTD! Well, not today, but that day. I have no idea why I chose to look formal-ish.
Had loads of time to do my make-up. LOOOL. K. I’m not used with using the word make-up and my altogether.
Actually, too much time that I was able to dig into some homemade wicked Oreos!
Happy Birthday, Tita :>
May I express how beautiful Manila Hotel is? It was my first time to actually look around the place and OMG (haha), it’s super niiiiiiice. And don’t get me started with the food… Removed my belt ‘cause I was too full for my life!
It’s sembreak and…
I can’t even… <3
I know I didn’t do good in my academics for this last semester, so, to enjoy this sembreak, I promise myself not to check my grades until I enroll for the upcoming sem. HAHA. I’m pretty sure I’ll be failing one or two subjects. Or not. HAHA. I really don’t know. I admit that I studied for like 10% of what I should have studied because I’m lazy like that. Soooo, all I could do is… pray. Srsly. I’m that much of a horrible student now. I really just don’t have the heart in studying anymore because of a lotta things happening. But whatever, let’s get on with real business here. Photo dumping finals term photos. \:D/
(Not in proper time sequence)
Riding the pedicab with Jhoey! <3
Pizza tiiiiiiiiiiime with Heidi and Jhoey!
Resting in DHT’s booth cos I was dying from dyspepsia. Ate 2/3 of an 18” Yellowcab pizza the night before (see photo above this photo). How awesome is that? HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HEIDI!!!
Random lunch photo.
At DHT’s booth with just some awesome people I love. (L-R: Me, Kevin, Bianca, Carlo)
Waiting for Monarch in vain with my bebegurl… HAHA
DHT’s newsletter came out and I got featured in one article about lifetime idol. And my article about dentistry student frugality (which I posted here last year) finally got published in this issue, too! HAHA
Sem-end salu-salo with DHT. Weeeee! Pizza and sushi overload!!!
Staying at the library to chat with bebegurl cos it’s way too cool (literally) there.
Impromptu date with bebegurl. At Krispy Kreme. We got free doughnuts from one of the Krispy Kreme’s crew! YAAAAY! Wasn’t able to say thanks, thought the KK logo was on and that they purposely gave out free doughnuts, oops.
At Taco Bell with bebegurl because Krispy Kreme wasn’t enough. HAHAHA. Went with our imaginary dates, Charles and Ching. Go figure. Boo. HAHAHA
Overflowing pizza and movie marathon day at DHT’s booth <3 Chillest school day of my life!
Poopoo break with bebegurl. HAHAHA. And of course, being vain.
So in conclusion, I’m obsessed with pizza and being vain <3
Our mimi-please-allow-us-to-own-a-dog look. HAHA, no wonder we don’t have a pet dog up til now.
