January 15, 2012, first day ko sa trabaho after my vacation. First day din ng work for 2012. I feel like I’m starting again. Di ko alam kung saan magsisimula. Even my colleagues are giving me the works and stuff to be done, walang gana talaga magtrabaho. What I just wanted to do is think and reminisce the moments of my vacation. That’s why I decided to do this blog.
December 23, 2011. Alas! The day has come. After the stressful days of December, my vacation has finally arrived. At last, makakawala na ako sa nakakapagod at talagang nakakadrain na trabaho (it was really obvious. I lose weight and fats) even just for 21 days. On my mind, I will really make this vacation enjoyable and fun. And I did it.

Ang dami naming mga first time ngayong bakasyon. First time ng family namin to be reunited on Christmas and New Year. Walang sisidlan ang saya namin na kumpleto kami this Noche Buena kahit may jetlag pa.

First time ko rin na makita in person ang dalawa kong cute at makulit na pamangkin na talagang todo kong namiss, namimiss at mamimiss. Masaya makipagkulitan at makipaglaro sa dalawang koreana este Pilipina na pala.

First time namin pumunta sa Puerto Galera. Spending 3 days and 2 nights sa mala-Boracay na beach, magsnorkeling, island hopping at falls hopping. Sayang at di kami nakapagbanana boat which is one of my itineraries.

First time din namin magkakapatid na magpabraid ng buhok (1 day lang tinagal masakit na kasi sa anit). Dahil na rin sa udyok ng kapatid ko, tinry naming na magmukhang Allen Iverson even just for 1 day.

First time namin na magzipline. Nakakatakot sa umpisa pero kalaunan you will enjoy it at background mo pa ang scenic view ng taal volcano.

First time kong maligo sa batis at sa tanawan falls (kahit 2nd time ko nang pumunta sa Dingalan, Aurora). Though malayo-layo ang lakarin patungo sa falls, pagdating naman duon sulit ang malamig at malinaw na tubig.

First time ko na pumunta sa Star City. Together with my Amazing friends, we conquered Star City. Sayang lang at di maganda ang panahon that day kaya sarado ang mga outdoor rides.

I have also time to meet and bond again with my friends from Qatar. Kuya Nonie, Kuya Junart and I met in Mall of Asia and played our favorite sports, BOWLING.

Bago ko tapusin ang maliligayang araw ng aking bakasyon, nagkaroon ako ng moment to bond one more time with the “Magnetic 5” girls. I joined Nami and Thel to go to Cavite for Nami’s gown fitting. Sayang talaga at hindi ako makaka-attend ng kasal nilang parehas. Anyway, it is fair for both girls kasi wala ako naatenan any of their weddings (hehehe). Then, we went to Boni to have our lunch together with Dai.

To sum up these experiences, I can conclude that this year’s vacation is more than fun and enjoyable. It has full of happiness. A vacation worth remembering. That is why HS (Homesick) strikes me again.
