Island-hopping, & generally having fun! :D
Paradise... :D
Lately, I'm starting to realize how completely picturesque & perfect-for-a-vacation the Philippines is. Not that it wasn't any of those things before. But with everything daily life has to offer (read: school stress, work, city life in general),
I think I've forgotten I'm living in a postcard paradise.I mean, we weren't even an hour's drive away from home & we were already island-hopping last Saturday.
on the boat
Some of my Dad's friends were around with their families from the US (thus the large number of American children surrounding my parents in the picture above). They had already gone to Boracay last week (a really great beach, by the way) but my sister and I couldn't come. School, you know. Priorities.
Gloom.Anyway, island-hopping was a lot of fun as you can see from my Dad here.
WHEE! :)
It was a great way to relax: living the good life & all that. We went to different islands, swam, & ate a lot of good food. OK, so I didn't swim. I did get wet though.
Note the spatters on my shirt that aren't even very clear. ;)
Speaking of food though, look what someone sold us (or tried to sell us, I'm not quite sure).
creepy crawly underwater things
They must have sold some to us. I mean,
look what we had for lunch.
Dead creepy crawly expensive abalones
Stupid captions, I know. All I can say is: I'm tired.
Well, we ate...
laughed,
got serenaded,
and had a lot of fun. :)
The pictures speak for themselves.
We had a really great time, and I got to discover my own home all over again. :D

So I'm Daisy (or fedora_girl)
I'm (naturally) wearing the fedora.
I'm a Chemical Engineering student --- getting that degree sometimes involves putting my brain through a strainer --- who also enjoys living life and eating like every meal is my last meal.
I'm a child of God, and that gives my life meaning.
I adore my family and friends. We spend a lot of time together, so they occasionally come up in my posts.
I also take pictures, do computer work, and scribble. I use Adobe Photoshop for long periods of time, and design blogs. I submit most of my good photos and drawings in
my DeviantArt account, and my blog designs in
my Blogskins account.
I read a lot. My favorite books of all time are the Holy Bible,
Pride & Prejudice,
The Scarlet Pimpernel,
The Boy Who Could Fly,
The Nanny, &
Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.
I don't like watching TV because I feel it gives me wrong ideas about the real world. I'm partial to period dramas, musicals and other good movies though. A few that I like are
Pride & Prejudice (2005 version),
North & South (a BBC TV drama),
Facing The Giants,
Sixteen Candles, &
Singin' In The Rain.
I love music; I like a lot of genres. I'm getting into country music and some good rock at the moment. I also adore movie soundtracks and songs that are more than 60 years old.
And about this blog...
It's pretty much a personal thing. It's filled to the brim with my escapades, thoughts, stuff I make, and just plain observations. Random, really.
Hope you enjoy it!
Paradise... :D
