Someone asked me why I am blogging. I told him that I liked to remember everything that I did and to share the experience to everyone. I didn't have a diary growing up. I guess it's because I don't have much angst and I don't really have anything to write about apart from playing or my crushes. Hahaha!
When I left the UK permanently in 2009, I was ready and was happy with my decision. When I left this time, I felt really sad. I told my friends that I don't wanna go but have to. Luke suggested changing my flight departure date which I didn't do. I have to go back to sort things back home - I need to renew my passport, I need to sort my visa for another trip and I need to downsize my wardrobe. I started going through my clothes at 1AM(I am jetlagged still). I have 38 articles of clothing, 10 shoes and 5 handbags to sell. I have to take photos still which is a bit tricky. Okay back to the story now. :) On my final week, I didn't do much apart from shopping, eating out and meeting up with friends. Surprisingly, we didn't go clubbing. It was cold and I am getting old for it.
THE MISSION:
My girlfriends and I met up for dinner at The Mission. I haven't been and I wanted to eat something different. We ordered a burrito, 2 fajitas and a pitcher of frozen Margarita. I got excited seeing the pitcher BUT we weren't able to finish it. The tequilla was too strong. I thought freezing it will make the taste better but I was wrong. I only had 2 glasses, Donna had one and Darlene had 3. I shake my head every time I swallow the drink. We moved to Starbucks after to chat. I like talking with my girlfriends. We can talk about the same things over and over and never get tired of it. I guess, we just like being around each other. I like the laid back lifestyle I have in the UK. To be honest, I am not a big fan of the filo get together where everyone gather around the table to drink beer and chat. Enough said.
AMANDA TURNS 2:
I enjoy being in the UK more than in the Philippines although I have more friends and family here. I like being able to socialise with people on a regular basis. Amanda's birthday fell on my final weekend in the UK. The timing was fantastic as I was able to see everyone and say goodbye to everyone.
FAMILY DINNER:
I told my mum that I wanted to have a family meal before I go. My sister kept on forgetting about it. I wanted to pay but the bill is almost my two weeks food meal so I paid my share instead. It was embarrassing and I still sleepless nights about it. :P
I am missing my family already. I miss my evening chats with my sister. As the lady in come fly with me will say " Praise the Lord for one bedroom flat!". I am glad that we were able to bond and share everything. This trip definitely brought us closer. We've definitely matured.
I hope to see my family again soon. X
