Melancholik!: And so this is Summer

Instax shots with sisters and cousins

The summer season here is almost over. A few days more and I'll be back reading law books and wracking my brains out. At least before that begins I had a feel-good time for more than two months.

First off a one week vacation in Singapore and one day side trip to Johor Bahru, Malaysia which sure is one of the highlights of this year. This experience in detail in my blog entry Singapura: One Fine City.

My cousins and aunt from New Jersey whom I haven't seen for a long time came to visit us for our family reunion. Also my aunt from France, cousins all the way from Dumaguete, General Santos, and my sister from Singapore came over. The reunion was a series of outings- dolphin watching, snorkeling in Balicasag Island, days in the beach of Panglao, ziplining and caving in E.A.T. Danao Adventure Park, gathering at relatives' houses, and grand finale at the Bohol Beach Club. It was good to see the descendants of Rafael and Felisa (my grandparents) gather together.

During the fiesta of our city, my close friends from high school and I were able to spend time together. Although it was just for a day it was worth it; just talking and hanging out. We had so much catching up to do and we were able to do that that day.

The 3 days in Cebu with my boyfriend started with a not so good intro but that was overlapped with good times spent with close friends I haven't seen in a while. I was able to meet the most adorable blue-eyed white cat, Midnight, my friends own. And we purchased our first ukulele, naming it Cece. Now I'm practicing on a few songs and having a good time.

2012's summer was good to me and I can't be more grateful. I can face the new school year with a big smile.
