Iloilo getaway and away~

still smiling even my eyes is burning in red~
December 13,2010 that’s the start of the week for me.. a week for preparation for my board exam which it turns out to be ok… not until Dec 15, no offense to my friend,  Genie Unnie who is celebrating her bday, but I experienced Sore Eyes. For 21 years of existence never thought my sore eyes will be on that day, few days before my exam. I woke up and ended up crying. I missed the last 2 days of review, it hurts a lot… I got scared and I just pray, coz I do believe prayers works....


Dec 17, woke up early for the departure which @ 7am, going to Iloilo…Ok, I got my glasses on all the time so that no one can notice my eyes and I always have my sanitizer and alcohol on my purse…Good   thing I don’t have a problem boarding, but im a bit nervous when huge waves strikes … promise… LOL!


Iloilo City (City of Love)
with cassie, my roomate
An hour after we arrived in Iloilo. It has been 7 years since I last visited the place, it was like in high school field trip. Iloilo is famous being the “City of Love” I think… and famous also with old buildings and churches. I even visited Candelaria Cathedral , it was all good… I love my stay there, even if I went there not for holiday but for my exam. It was nice and cool…
We stayed at Amigo Hotel, its ok but the thing I don’t like there are the foods.. it feels like they all want us to put on a diet. Keke^^ im a big eater maybe that explain I complain a lot with foods. LOL. I took a lot of pics too with my friend, Cassie. Cassie and I are friends since the start of the review so I have no problem staying with her in the same room. I met also my other roommates which technically my batchmate in the same school but we never knew each other not until we stayed in one room. I got to know them by 5 days and they are awesome persons. Jam, who is a kpop lover too but unfortunately not a SONE like moi but its good to share a same room with her, both of us a kpop fan. She’s a Kiss Me! My other roommate is Rona, the perky and jolly person I met. She is always on the go… really love her personality, and  I love her when she get drunk… LOL. *peace!

EXAMINATION DAY

Ok, let’s go now with the examination day. Our examination day, 2 days, Sunday and a Monday. A day before that I feel scared. Anxiety is  on the highest level. UGH! Ok, Im watching the foods im eating and all the necessary measures to relieve my stress and anxiety. And im so touched also with the comment and txt message of my friends and family before the exam. I cried to some of their txt. Im too emotional, oh well…



Day 1:

Three exams are waiting for me. I feel so scared and nervous at the same time. We are giving 2 hours each exam to answer and 1 hr break after each exam… First exam is difficult not on the sense I don’t know the answer, its just I need enough time to finish it, coz I think I need more time to answer it. So I was in a hurry to answer test 1. Test 2 next its not that difficult, I answered on the extent of my knowledge.Period. Test 3. Last exam on that day, what can I say expect, expect the unexpected, hard again. L So I went to the hotel with a sad  face, but I am trying to smile and think positive.

Day 2:
Only 2 more exams and we are all done. Test 4 and 5, let just say its hard too… Oh boy, all of us are complaining how hard it is the exam.  I ended up zipping my mouth and went to the room and pray. I think prayer is my only weapon during the exam. When I have no clue on what to answer, I just pray to the Lord, His guidance during answering it. There’s this saying from the Bible which my friend Ting recommend to me, Luke 1:38 I think “To God nothing is impossible”… its true… God is my weapon. That is my only weapon…

AFTER the EXAM


My friend, Cassie and I went to the mall to relax and just to chill after those frustrating exam. We went to different stores and shops… ofcourse there’s a bookstore, and music store, it is always on my list. I was hoping to see the Gee and Genie Jap ver cds, but failure no signs of it… And a total frustrating is that there’s no new books, I was hoping there’s a lot but no… total sadness… But then I just spent my money buying beauty products, I know its not me buying things like this but I have no choice. I don’t want my brother would comment again on the things I am buying especially non important stuffs… So I went to Etude House, which is a total haven to me, since they are playing my fave Korean songs from Girls’ Generations, down to Secret and not to mention the sore is in girly “pink”, totally girly. Spent half of my allowance there, but I think its worth it too… I have no regrets buying those stuffs…
AHHH!! Etude House...
After shopping we went back to our hotel and have dinner, then after it our review center prepared some “after party” to us… It will be held at “Pirates”, one of the coolest club or should I say famous in the city. Cassie decided not to go so I ended up going with Jam and Rona. We arrived there dressed up and ready to party… as usual being the “good girl” I never got to drink my beer… I dunno, im not a drinker so yeah I decided to give it to the boys… At around 12 mn, I felt sleepy already and the songs are getting boring, so we decided to crash to other clubs nearby.  It was fun, I enjoy the night, but it sucks coz it rained. We went back to Pirates to picked up Rona, btw we left her there keke… Now she is drunk, but she is so cute when she is drunk…then off to the hotel after. When I entered the room I fixed my things and headed to bed without any problems, I feel so tired.

Last Day in Iloilo
Well woke up around 7am, took a shower then headed for breakfast. Jam and Rona went for an early departure like 8am while Cassie and I went for 10am… So this is it, my last day in the city… Cassie and I decided to take a lot of pics until my camera is out of battery… I had fun with her, our last bonding until we get back to Bacolod and spent our separate xmas vacation. I just want to take this opportunity to thank you to her… Thanks Cas!

All in all my trip in Iloilo was amazing. Even I went there for my exam I still enjoy being back there… For now I will be waiting 2 months for the results of my exam, only God is my strength and my Savior. God Bless to all…
