We are all going to Phuket, Thailand to have some time to relax and enjoy their wonderful and magnificent beach. It would also be the best time to use my dad’s sport goggles under the ocean when we snorkel.

As early as now, I am already preparing my things that I will be bringing into that trip. Also, I’m already on a strict diet to fit myself into that swimsuit that I’ve been dying to buy everytime I pass by the store where it is being sold.

There is nothing special about it but it’s my first time to see this types of buildings. Thank goodness to my sister who brought me to this place. She is about to meet someone whom she is selling a property. Hopefully she convinces her buyer, because that means a commission for her. My sister promised to take me to Monte Carlo once she closed the deal with her buyer.

The meeting went well. I’m just listening to the both of them. I realized just now that my sister is a good talker. She speaks in the sense that you have to listen to her. Not that she is commanding you, but the way she talks, she just attracts you to listen to her. That’s why she is very good with public relations.

I can lose weight in about three and a half week in time for our much anticipated summer getaway. I have everything ready except for my snorkeling gear. I stopped by the clothing store known for their swimming gadget and accessories. I passed by the womens goggles section and saw these cute pink goggles. I was shocked to see how much it costs. But because I liked it, with one eye closed, I bought the goggles.

This summer trip should be all worth it. It seems I have waited for so long. I just can’t wait.

I don’t have anything to do anyway so I decided to come to enjoy the nature and make the most out of my 3-day vacation. This will be my first time to climb the mountain and I’m kinda excited that I brought too many things. My Osprey Backpacks is very bulky already that I forgot what they always say, to”travel light”.

Anyway, it’s time for me to get some sleep for we are going very early tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day.

This would be my first time, if ever, to do a scrap book. Usually it’s her who has a creative side to such things. But this time around, it will be my turn to be creative.

Right after school on Friday, I went to the bookstore to gather the materials that I will be needing for the scrap book. That includes the album itself, some colored papers, stickers, lucite flower beads, glue and other clip ons. I hope I’ll do good on this one.

Why? I get to rest from a very tiring week from work plus I get to do my most favorite thing to do – going to the mall. I get to do every relaxing activities while in the mall. And since I got some reward cards, I’m free to have a full body spa and massage, hot oil for my hair, doing my nails, and of  course shopping.

Awww, how cool can it get? I so love weekends.

It is also a chance for us to take some time out and just relax and enjoy the place.

I noticed that on our first day of the seminar, our location is quite different from the places that I’ve been. That town is surrounded by metal buildings. I wonder who the architect of these buildings are. Our three days there is almost over but before we leave that town, we make sure to buy souvenirs and take a lot of pictures as a remembrance.

We haven’t seen each other for quite a long time so we took that time to catch up over a cup of tea.  I learned that she is a tour guide now and she is offering me a Branson Missouri vacation packages in time for the summer. The package is very reasonable but I told her that I’m still not sure if I’m going to grab it because I can’t just decide easily for my schedule with the kind of work that I have.

We spent the time talking for like two hours and after that we exchanged our new numbers and promised to keep in touch with each other.

I miss my girl friends. We had been busy with our own lives after we graduated from college and started working. This day should be ours to spend. We all blocked our schedules to meet with each other again and reminisce the good old times.

I say nothing has changed. The bond is still there. Mia is still the same geek who seems to know almost everything. Andi is still the same clumsy girl who seems to meet every accident with her every move. Why with just opening a kitchen faucet and there she cut her hand with a blade placed beside the sink. Marinel is still the same goddess that she is. She is just so gorgeous. Well next to mine. :)

We had tons of captured photos of everything we did on that vacation. It was really a blast, being with my friends, enjoying our time and just relaxing after a year of stressful work.

This vacation is a sort of like a reunion and year end party as well for our friendship that is almost ten years now. I so miss them and it seems that nothing has changed. They are still the same people that I loved and still love ten years ago. I wish we can do this more often.
