I'm currently in Sydney, Australia...and I'm loving it! I like the not so city but city kind of environment. It's so different from the places I've lived in and the places I've been :) Guess it gets a place in my Top 5 Countries I'd want to live in.
Anyway, we're just wrapping up our 3 week long vacation...more or less done with packing and yes, I've managed to fit all my stuff into my luggage (though I had to sit on it again)! Done with all the sightseeing...done with picture taking (I used up all the memory in my 256 and 512mb disks)! Shopping? Well, that's something we can never get enough of really.
This trip has been great I must say...lots of ups and downs but overall, I'm glad I had the chance to go through it! Thanks to my parents for "spoiling us" (quoted from the hotel manager of our ship who happens to be my gym buddy as well) and allowing us to step into the Diamond Princess! :)
I'll let you in on a secret...I've always dreamed of being a performer/entertainer. You might ask what kind since there are different types of performers- singers, actors, jugglers, comedians, instrumentalists, etc. Being on this ship just made me relive a childhood dream I've always had...which is to become a dancer. :) Watching the shows every night made me want to change my career path! But I guess it's too late...at this age, I can't even do a split. But yeah...if only I could rewind time, I would have done things differently.
***pauses for a while***
Done laughing? Anyway, tomorrow, we're going for a last minute trip to the zoo! Yup, saying hi and goodbye to the koalas, kangaroos and kiwis before I go back to Manila, open my email and greet my A-level results...Pray for me? Not just for A-level results...but for the courage to face the animals in the zoo.

I'm OK
Hey everyone, it's now 8:27PM in New Zealand but my body clock is still at 3:27PM. Just flew in from Hong Kong this morning.
It's been 5 whole days since I left my handphone at home and it feels really weird without it. My dad said that not having a handphone is actually liberating--but in all honesty, I don't think so. It feels really weird not to stay connected. Specially since for the past few days I couldn't really use the internet like I used to. I found out that I had to pay HK$50 for 15 minutes! That's really such a rip off! But it didn't matter anyway since when I go back to the hotel, the business centre's already closed. And now with the time difference, I'd have to wake up at 5AM to be able to catch the people I usually talk to. It seems that I've just been too dependent on handphones and the internet that it's just so hard not to live without them. Wonder how it felt like to live in the stone age. Hmm..But anyway, thanks to the business centre here in our New Zealand hotel! Net free and there's no time limit!
So what have I been doing the past few days in Hong Kong? Aside from eating really good but greasy dimsum and soy chicken, we usually walk all day. At first I thought that shopping won't be that great since most of the stores would still be selling the winter collection. True for most but since there are multiple great shopping places in Hong Kong, it's not hard to find clothes for the not so cold weather. There were lots of stuff on sale! Oh, and do you know the waffle that's shaped like small balls? The ones that you can only find on the sidewalk? I love that! :)
Anyway, I'm getting really tired and a bit jet lagged. Getting on board the Diamond Princess tomorrow...pray that it'll be safe?
"In a perfect world, there would be no pain...there would be no death of innocence, there would be no guilt and no shame. "
Oh, in case you were wondering, I didn't go visit Mickey Mouse. I decided to go shopping instead.
