Oh, Christmas Lights and Hogwarts!!
I did my waiting.. in seven years!! In Azkaban!!
Lol, at Azkaban. But I really did wait for 7 years to finally come back in Tangub City. I never expected for it to be this grand and beautiful already!! So much has changed! From the area size of displays to amount of Christmas lights used, I am really awed by the effort of the contenders in this showcase of art.
Now the displays extend to the city's Hall of Justice and I think the City Hall, consuming a really huge space in the heart of the city. Before, I considered Tangub as a small city, not yet widely and fully urbanized and having more provincial life feels. It's completely different now!
The Christmas Symbols displays cannot only be seen in the said plaza and in the center of the city, but it is widely spread even in deepest parts of city. Each baranggay had actively made and propped up an arch entrance to represent their baranggay, each of which have different themes.
You can really feel the spirit of Christmas in this place. I really appreciate their warm welcome to the people who came from distant places and traveled hours just to see this wonderful city by having the decorated arch entrances as teasers for the bigger thing.
The number of people or tourists gathered in the city was astounding! The place was really spotless! Before, it couldn't even reach hundreds of people a day. But now, thousands of people visit it everyday. There are people EVERYWHERE. Lots of people were sitting on the benches or on the sides of the building, some were sight-seeing, others were eating (yes, restaurants and street vendors eventually found a way to get in), and most of the people were holding their cameras and smartphones above their heads to capture the impeccable place.
One thing to point out to is that before, there wasn't even a gate to enter the place neither there was an entrance fee. But of course, as the years pass by, the more they upgrade the more costly it would be. I think there's an entrance fee of Php60. Guys, I promise you, it's still worth it!! You'll never regret the coins you've spent.
But to be honest, what I anticipated the most in this trip is to have a glimpse of the HOGWARTS CASTLE!!
In case you don't know, but I am a hardcore fan of Harry Potter and this sight before my eyes, IT'S LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE. I know it's not even near to that of Universal Studios's replica of Wizarding World of Harry Potter but this is something!! I don't care but I am so happy just seeing it! My heart really flutters. Kudos to the people who got the idea to make this happen!!
Not only that! The propos were really realistic! There was a room which looks like a common room, and you could reenact there. Then there was this library filled with Harry Potter elements!! The Mirror of Erised was present! There were snitches above your head. You could wear the Sorting Hat if you want to be sorted, uhm, but it doesn't talk though. And then there's a wand! Too bad there's only one. And then there are lots of books. I haven't noticed a broom though, they couldn't have overlooked that. Maybe I just haven't seen it because it's dark.
P.S. There's a Hogwarts Express too! Toot! Toot!
One really downside of the building is its poor lighting. Also, during our stay in the Hogwarts Castle, outside, the whole plaza was showcasing its Dancing Lights, so the lights inside the castle were shut off and the main line of lights were the only ones blinking synchronically and simultaneously. The Dancing Lights was beautiful and was blinking rhythmically with the enchanting music. You can see it in the video below.
I was ecstatic the whole time, that I was worried that I might not enjoy the whole place, missing out some things. My cousins were also excited in this Hogwarts Castle. We were really having fun!! Even my mom. The whole family was really enjoying it! Even though, my little cousins and my mom didn't know much about Harry Potter, they were still having fun. I am really inlove with the place. If only we had enough time, but we're rushing since we were already way behind the time range contract of the rental van.
And we were so damn hungry already because we chose to go to Hogwarts first before having dinner!! By the way, there's an entrance fee in the Hogwarts Castle. For just Php5, you can now enter the castle. Add Php5 and you can wear a cloak of your choice!! If you want to ride the Hogwarts Express, you'll only need to pay Php10. So guys! Imagine. You only need Php20 to have a magical experience once and for all! (We didn't try the Express though because it's so tiny, only small kids will fit.)
Watch the video below for the summary of my Tangub Experience. The pictures above were crappy and pixelated, I know. My apologies. Also sorry, for the shaky video below, I got too excited. Hihi.
Merry Christmas, loves!
Happy New Year, too!

What Excites Me Lately
It has now convinced me that November will always be a great month. Not to mention legends were born at this time (well, like me) but also wonderful things happen on November!! From Pacquiao's matches to most-awaited movie premieres plus the birthdays of legends that were made during Valentines' Day!
What excites me this November involves a lot of things, not just my birthday, but it includes the following! Also they were happening on my birthday week! How did I possibly managed and handled them well? Actually, I just barely survived. I am really in the surge of feelings this week and I'm still holding them delicately. But why?
1. COLDPLAY ANNOUNCED THEIR CONCERT ON TUESDAY
Imagine me studying for an exam the next day on a Monday night, and this news broke out. PROMISE. I literally let go of it all. I just can't huhu. This long time dream of mine, I just can't afford to not see it. I am so determined to go. I couldn't concentrate with my studies from then on, good thing our exam was postponed. I immediately made plans with my friend, a fellow Coldplayer, to go to the concert! And then the dates and ticket prices were announced the following days, which made our Hope level depressed a bit.
The concert is on a WEEKDAY (April 4, 2017, Tuesday) and the tickets, wow, so costly! We can only afford Bronze (Php3500) but adding the plane ticket cost to get to Manila... I can only cry. *dasal nalang talaga* Quite mad at the organizers for the overpricing (SoKor's VIP just costs Php6k plus?! Imagine) and the for their decision to have the concert held at MOA Concert Grounds. My friend and I was like "our heights". *jaw drops* And Bronze is already really far from the stage! And I really don't think grounds is a convenient place for Coldplay concert considering the raising-Xylobands part, it will just be.. flat.
As if all of these were still not enough for giving our hopes up, we weren't able to reserve a ticket in the Globe pre-sale even though my friend sent it exactly 9AM! Now bitter with all the people who posted their tickets in Twitter. Hayy. Send help.

I'm just praying now that there'd be a miracle huhu. P.S. I am really a Coldplay fan. Not that I still have to explain it to anyone, but I am just clearing this out since nonsense arguments are everywhere: hardcore fans berating just-now-proclaimed-fans and etc. I just roll my eyes. Why does it have to resort to hateful ways? Coldplay actually promotes peace and harmony and hope to everyone. People should ought to apply that on their lives, or should listen to Coldplay more hahaha. [P.P.S. I listen to Coldplay almost everyday, than most people. (omg why am i explaining again)]
2. FANTASTIC BEASTS PREMIERE ON MY BIRTHDAY
Not exactly my birthday because it was released on some countries on November 16, but duhh. HUHU have I mentioned that I am a Potterhead?! And this new movie has really lightened up my pottersoul since the last Harry Potter movie franchise, way back 2011. Plus Eddie-freaking gorgeous-Redmayne is portraying Newt Scamander. Already watched it in theaters this afternoon! My friends urged me that we'll just wait for a DVDrip and download it someday, but idk why I feel it violates my Potterhead self. For the case of Harry Potter movies, I want to see them in big screens as much as I can, as a compensation on not being able to watch the first seven movies in cinemas.
*spoiler alert*
GUYS, THE MOVIE WAS BREATHTAKING. AND AWESOME. AND FANTASTIC INDEED. Though, it wasn't that mind-blowing and mind-racking, but it was relaxing! The movie was made for you to chill. The graphics and the effects were superb! They made you want a 'beast' as a pet. Also, I loved Newt's advocacy and Eddie has portrayed his role amazingly (as always). He was perfect. Promise. I also encountered lots of new wizarding world terms like Muggles in UK were called No-Majs in America, plus the new set of magical creatures, like the Swooping Evil and Erumpent. You'd also get to know with an Obscurus, a dark magic beast that will occupy a body of a child if his magical powers were suppressed and not used. The conflicts revolve around an Anti-Maj organization, sometimes the MACUSA, the Obscurial, and then Grindelwald. And tenenen, JOHNNY DEPP IS GRINDELWALD.
Such great casting. If you were expecting that this movie will teach you where to find the beasts, I think that's the only downside of it because the movie did not focus mainly on that, lol. (Just buy the book, then.) JK Rowling has totally written a new story that will still give you a hint of the journey. Excited for the sequel!!! ♥
3. LEGEND OF THE BLUE SEA PILOT EPISODE
Who's a fan of Kdramas?! Well, I'm not really a diehard fan but I usually squeeze some episodes during my free time or when there are no exams coming up, which hardly happens.
After I watched Uncontrollably Fond last September, I promised myself to not watch any kdrama until the end of semester to avoid distractions, but LEGEND OF THE BLUE SEA IS AN EXCEPTION BECAUSE LEE MIN HO.
Finally, my bae is coming back to the TV screens together with sassy girl Jun Ji Hyun. The drama is a fictional magical story, with JiHyun as a mermaid. It's also a romantic comedy that's why I'm looking forward to it even though I don't think MinHo and JiHyun has chemistry with each other. Nevertheless, I'm still supporting my 'husband' all the way!!
4. A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS OFFICIAL TRAILER
This Lemony Snicket series is part of my childhood and I was fond of reading it, though I am still stuck on book 5, giving me horrors and thrills of Count Olaf. After how many years of waiting for a sequel on the movie, which I really find amazing and the adaptation's not so far from the book, finally a TV series has come to suffice my cravings.
But honestly, on the release of the trailer, I was quite disappointed since it has not given me thrills already. :( Neil Patrick Harris is a great Count Olaf but the aura of the setting and the series itself is quite... cheery and colorful and vibrant. Not the usual dark feels you get when you read the books or the first time you watched the movie, that brought you to the edge of your seat. It somehow does not give me a fear of getting found by Count Olaf. But I'm still giving an open mind to this since it's Netflix's, which also owns Stranger Things, to which many of my friends had praised. Kudos also for finding a very close replacement for Violet Baudelaire.
Still excited for this, this coming January together with a new season of Sherlock!!! 2017 is gonna be full of surprises.
So far, these are hot issues that kept me occupied lately, aside from the political hot topic of #MarcosNotAHero and the 'Libingan ng mga Bayani'. Good thing, these great news are relaxing me away from the stress we call acads. A lover of November forever~

Embracing XIX
Oh, how fast time flies. I'm nineteen alreadyyy!! Turned last November 17. I still can clearly remember how I turned 18 last year, and how I had the time of my life with my friends, with me, having the simplest debut. And now, twelve months had quickly passed by.
Honestly, I quite regretted that I haven't thought of a Harry Potter-themed birthday last year. Not wanting it to be very grand, but just a bit of decorations to feels of the ambiance of Hogwarts and eerie aura in the HP books/movies. But damn, I failed to plan it, that's why I imagined it to be this year, turning nineteen, the age where wizards and witches students of Hogwarts get to enjoy their last year. I really searched some tips on how to come up with a Harry Potter birthday party, adding "cheap and simple" description on the google search.
Unfortunately, I had lots of exams this week, not to mention they're the subjects that were not discussed properly by our professors. So, I really can't manage to plan and handle such party alone. I still have to study. Because of that, I wasn't thinking of my birthday then, accepting the fact that that's what happens when you get older, everything seems to be now less exciting-- thinking that there are more things that are practical and important. *I sound like an adult omg*
So, why is it still one of the best birthdays in my life? That's because I feel loved and valued on that very day, by my friends and family. Starting from my bestfriend in highschool who surprised me 5 days early!! (She forgot the date of my birthday, and assumed it was November 13. LOL.)
Sha and I had been partners-in-crime in highschool, but when college came, we are now in a long distance relationship since she transferred to another university in Cagayan de Oro City. It was really rare now to see each other and bond together. So when she contacted me on November 12, that she'd be visiting Iligan, I took the chance to spend the time with her, and I was planning to surprise and treat her somewhere, as since the beginning of time, she was always the one who pays for me when we eat together so now it's payback time!!
But the tables have turned! We were in the sidewalk, cars on our side, when she randomly greeted me "Happy birthday gii!" and I just replied "Kita lang gani ka ug balloon, ayha paka migreet!" and just laughed. But she just laughed harder when I didn't realize that those balloons were actually for me! I was really surprised and touched because no matter where she is, she never forgot about me. Huhu. Who am I to deserve such a dear friend? *grabs tissue* Anyway, she also prepared a very big and yummy cake. In the end, she was the one who treated me at D-Dhons Bistro. Really, my plan above was well, 'ruined'? I owe her so much.
Let us cherish this moment with the delicious food in the picture above. D-Dhon's Diner & Bistro is really 5/5!! The prices of the food weren't that high, and they are all worth it once you'd get to taste the food. All made with effort and love. The ambiance of the place is really superb too. I recommend this place.
Again, I am so happy that day. I am so forever thankful for Sha. I am happy that we spent sometime chatting and checking with our lives. I wish we could do it again someday, sooner. ♥
On the birthday proper, I assured myself already that it's okay to not have a celebration. Plus, I don't think I would be that very happy on my birthday when my mom wasn't even at home to celebrate it together. (I cried days before, missing her.) So, when my dad asked what I want to be prepared on my birthday, I just let them decide it for me. All I wanted was just a cake and some candles to blow onto. That's kinda important tradition to me. A birthday is never complete without that. We would just be ordering food since my mom wasn't there to cook some.
I had an exam on my birthday on subject Physical Chemistry and I haven't started a bit that time so I had no time to enjoy my day because I need to study.
I didn't thought that something extraordinary would happen that day, not until my ChE blockmates surprised me with a cake and some balloons! Huhu.
Imagine, they still had time to buy and prepare and plan those things when we must use every minute left to study for PhyChem. Guys, I am so blessed and thankful. These people, honestly, I thought I could never go close with because I was so attached with my past blockmates. But these people, because of them, life in ChE is so much easier, and they make it easy for me to adjust in the block.
I really appreciate their effort. Love you guys. I really look forward to making memories with them till I graduate. Huhu.
I went home satisfied that day because even if I had little time to study, I was able to answer all the questions (but that doesn't mean they're right). I don't know what's waiting for me in the house. But indeed they had prepared something for me. My relatives were also present, which I expected the least since I really thought there's gonna be no celebration. I was really really happy.
The greetings from my friends in the social media, to all the people who gave some effort and time just to type a greeting, really THANK YOU. Those from-the-heart messages really had a special place in my heart. (Plus, if it's your birthday you get to have your crush greet you. Such a tricky way to finally have a conversation.)
Thank you for making me feel special even just for a day. And lastly, thank You so much for the Great Provider and our Father above, for being so generous and patient and loving with me despite my imperfections and shortcomings. Thank You always, Father God! So beyond thankful right now, still. Indeed, things that you less anticipated are things that are much more memorable. It may not be the grandest birthday I had, but it is one of the bests.

Oct-Over!!
I just can't believe that it's my birth month already!! Ten months have already passed and 2016's down to two! I can't really feel the time passing by. But before we'll move on to November, let's recap some events that happened in October. I believe this has to be my busiest month so far because there's always a big event happening every week! Events include my major exams of course. Ever since this semester had begun, my highschool barkada never had a chance to have some outing in a beach or in our local swimming pool. The waves of acads have kept drowning us, and leave us feeling helpless. We don't even have much time to chitchat on school as we had conflicting schedules.
Nevertheless, despite the tumultuous pile of works and more exams to come, the following are the highlights of my month!! I hope in some way I could treasure these memories in here.By the way, about the title "Oct-Over", I got this idea from a tweet of a friend. I really find it corny and lame. So lame, I find it funny of how lame it was. *sigh* So there, I have no other ideas what to name this post. I acknowledge my friend and her lame joke. Hoho.
1. FAMILY PARTY
Last October 3, my influential uncle, that one who treated us in Zamboanga, had visited Iligan City to celebrate her sister's birthday. Whenever he comes to our town, the whole family is going to be really busy, conscious of what to present to my uncle. We assumed that he has very high standards on everything considering his exceptional rank in Navy. My cousins also came to visit and we had fun here in the house, played Monopoly and Jenga, sang to the top of our lungs with the karaoke and danced to the beat. This was really a reunion to remember since moments for us to gather are so rare now.2. DOST EXAM
Amidst all other exams, such as in PhyChem, Statics, Industrial Stochiometry, that needed studying for, the most anticipated one is the DOST JLSS examination. This is for third year undergraduates who are taking up science and technology courses and wants to have a scholarship during their college, in exchange of two years of return service in the country. The exam wouldn't be that hard if only I had reviewed my freshmen topics and if the time wouldn't be that short. Huhu, I really pray I passed the exam. Why I wanted it so much: 1) I want to finally financially stable and help my parents, 2) I want to buy a camera, 3) it would really hurt my self-esteem if I can't pass and it would be a shame since my brother passed it, 4) freedom. On the other hand, I really want my friend Annie Mae to have the scholarship since she and her family needs it more than I need it.
3. ANTOLIHAW OF THE SOUTH
Aunt Telet always have dreams to be a renowned singer, to be famous of singing her unique genre of songs, and for her voice to be heard. And finally that time has come. Last October 14, she launched her album in our school's Mini-Theater, and being the main librarian, my aunt has lots of supporters there. Her genre focuses on kundiman (love song) sang in Bisaya/Cebuano dialect, where a man named Efren had composed songs/balaks for her to sing. She's already in her 50s but you could never guess that. She has become an inspiration to everyone that no matter how old you are, it is never too late to achieve your dreams. Just don't give up on them.
4. DCHET ACQUAINTANCE PARTY
Yes, we conducted our acquaintance party three months after the semester has started. It really has defeated the purpose of having to be acquainted to new people. Well, that doesn't matter much now because engineering students desperately demand their break!! And here it is! (DCHET stands for Department of Chemical Engineering and Technology.) The event was really thought and handled well by the officers, and they really maximized our assessment fees. I am happy to see that the benefits of paying our fee are really evident in the event. Kudos Aghimuan officers! I also had fun with my blockmates, I'm finally blending in.
5. PROVINCIAL YOUTH CONFERENCE 2016
The time has come!! This is the best part of the month! And the most awaited. Even if it's in conflict with palakasan, also called as intramurals in other schools, PYC still was my priority. There's nothing more refreshing than to spend time with the Lord. PYC is an event where Youths For Christ were gathered as a province to have some fellowship. It is a two-day two-night event, filled with praise fests, sessions, competitions, prayers and of course the love of our Father.
I joined the Showchoir Team, and despite the cramming practices and self-doubts, we won the competition!! Also, Sector B, the team I am part of, was announced as the Overall Champion of PYC! All Glory To God! Again, I always look forward to YFC events, because you can never trade the happiness of being surrounded with Christ-centered people and the completeness you'll feel while worshipping the Lord.
I might make another blog post for the whole PYC experience. Hoping I have time huhu.
 |
| Palao Chapter, Sector B |
Well, that concludes my October! Imagine all these big events and yet I still have many exams to juggle and squeeze within. Everyday is a battle to face and conquer. I am happy to say that I made it!
But I should not be fantasizing so much since I have now two months left to save my grades!!!!!

3-day Vacation at Zamboanga City
Finally had the chance to post a summary of our trip way back March 2016! I know it's very late already but I feel like the pictures and memories are gonna go to waste if I don't put it in a blogpost. So, I'm gonna take the chance to share this with you guys!
Zamboanga is such a very great place, but not very known to most people. I never thought that one day I could visit it. Thanks to my uncle who's in the Navy and is stationed on a naval base in Zamboanga City, he has made this all possible. He invited us to visit him because his retirement's gonna come soon, might as well enjoy his perks with the whole family. Though far from Iligan City, approximately 403.5 km, the 9-hour hot (because we're at the back of pickup truck), bumpy and nauseous ride was definitely worth it for the breathtaking view in Zamboanga City!

I never thought that the journey would take us to the very edge of Mindanao! I can't imagine that I've reached a place that far in my life, on a roadtrip, in a pickup truck where we covered ourselves with blankets to hide away from the sweltering sun, and that moment we felt like we were in an oven, just windy. When I heard the radio inside the truck blasting Zamboanga's local radio station singing their ID, I let out a huge sigh of relief. I was so happy that we finally arrived!!! It was just nearly dusk when we arrived at the naval base, so we still had time to stroll around and explore the place.
The naval base, also called as Camp Navarro, was reaaally huge. Based beside the sea, because of course it's the Navy, it was really majestic. There are marines who warmly welcomed us that made our stay a whole lot easier. They fed us 6 times a day with their not so ordinary menu, and in buffet meals!! And of course, we were flourished with SEAFOOD!! That was the best part!
This was just a three-day vacation so we did our best to enjoy it every minute and we took lots of pictures. It was a nice day at Zamboanga at that time. Even though, we should be tired from the trip and have "jet lags", we have a bar full of energy instead! We played volleyball, jumped to the shots, strolled around the base, and even went to the cinema after dinner! It was a treat from my cousin. She let us watch a Kung Fu Panda 3D movie and let the 'bodyguards' tour us in Zamboanga City at night.
That time I realized that the place was peaceful contrary to the comments about Zamboanga occasionally having wars and rebel fights and bomb threats. I can't really see a hint of it. Their KCC Mall de Zamboanga is a striking exemplar of the serenity and peace in the place, because who would build a mall that huge when they know that it's going to be bombed someday anyway, right?
Day 2
The whole reason why we were able to go to such place at such time of the year, it's because it was Holy Week and there were no classes. No compromised academics and requirements, and if there was, they all become sacrifices. It was our first time to have Semana Santa on another place other than Iligan City. It was refreshing to know and experience other culture especially on how they celebrate their Holy Week.
One fascinating tradition they have is that during the Station of the Cross, they have reenactments on each station and the 12 disciples (marines who dressed like disciples) led the procession alternately carrying the cross and walk it to the next station.
Day two was focused on visiting some landmarks in Zamboanga City.
The city, I tell you, was really large. The center of the city, I guess, is just an eighth or maybe sixteenth of the land, and the rest of the area consist of the remaining in 98 baranggays. Each baranggay would really span some kilometers before you reach the next. Indeed, the third largest city in the Philippines, Zamboanga City. We visited the following places. Imagine the roadtrip we had again.
San Ramon Prison
It was my first time to visit a prison. I didn't even have the chance to visit the one in Iligan City. Again, it's really refreshing to have a first again in this place. San Ramon Prison and Penal Farm. We have to go to the second floor to have a view on the whole place. By the time we were upstairs, on the balcony, the sight of shouting and begging prisoners welcomed us. They were displaying their handmade products to the visitors, hoping that they could have a buyer, hoping that they could earn some money and have a living even in jail.

I don't know if it was making me happy or sad at that time. Sad because of the thought of being in jail, deprived from most things, being away from their family, the loneliness. But happy because they've been given income generating activities, or temporary jobs, maybe something they don't have while they were outside, in freedom. At least they are productive in the time of their imprisonment.
Fort Pilar
Next place is this Fort Pilar Shrine. It's a famous landmark in Zamboanga City, to which many visitors and tourists take a land on. Unknown to many, Spanish revolution has also reached the civilization in Mindanao, especially in Zamboanga. This military fort was built by the Spaniards in defense from the native sultans of Zamboanga. It's just an astonishing sight for it to be seen standing still for decades (or for a century) amidst the forces of nature trying to age it away. Since then, it has been the symbol of the city's Cultural Heritage.

Barter Trade Center
If you're looking for pasalubongs, this trade center is a place to be!! Everywhere you look, all you see are goods, that suit for everyone, and will suit to your liking. You can never go home from this place without having to carry bags of plastics filled with their products. From local clothings and food to imported products from Indonesia and Malaysia and neighboring countries near Zambo, you can all find them there. I guess this is where city people buy their goodies and then sell them in the city with an overwhelming price, where they can have a big profit since they bought it in barter way cheaper. Boxes of wafers, biscuits, noodles, Pepero, canned-goods, etc (other international brands) in varying sizes are available there! Promise, you must not miss this place.

DAY 3
It's the last day of our vacation in Zamboanga City so of course, we want it to be the bomb! We visited a hidden paradise on our third day. It's not so popular and famous as Boracay but it's a promising place!
Las Islas de Sta. Cruz
Perks of having an uncle that's in the Navy, we had used a Naval ship/boat to go to the island. It was really fashionable that we are so proud to have our uncle. It was really cool to be inside the ship! I feel like I want to quit all my acads and then sign up in Navy.
 |
| Me and my cousin with the Coast Guards. |
Anyway, it was just roughly a 15-minute ride and the scene was really breathtaking. The waters were so clear, that your 20-20 vision is just a shame. Haha, just exaggerating.
 |
| That's me. So haggard haha. |
It seems to me that the island is a long time secret but just now discovered because I really didn't know this place existed until I got there. Like, why does this beautiful place doesn't get its bragging rights? And guys, it's a pink island!! It should be more famous than it is right now. The place definitely does not deserve the attention its getting, so guys, do visit this place someday! Add this in your bucketlist! :)
I'm gonna have a separate post featuring this island so that I can explain more promising details of the place. We had a blast that day and had lots of food again, celebrating everything. You know that constipation travellers get? Hay, I had that that time. I was so bloated I could have floated in the sea.
That ends my 3 day vacation in Zamboanga City! We were so sad to leave the place early the next day. My heart aches because of nostalgia right now. I just miss the sea outside the house, the sea breeze and the strange calmness it sends to your body and spirit, the seafoods!!, and the relaxing feeling. I just miss them all. I wish we could go back again someday this year and have a proper vacation again from all these stressing schoolworks!
