Endless Summer
You are looking at Skylight version 16, entitled “Endless Summer.” I created this layout for the following reasons: 1) the semester is finally over and I have free time again; 2) I love to swim; 3) I love the colors of the ocean; and 4) I love summer, the way I used to know it as a kid.
The summers of my childhood meant freedom and relaxation. For two glorious months, I didn’t have to worry about following a schedule. I could sleep as late and as long as I wanted and spend my days however I chose. But then college rolled around, and I had to use my summers to catch up on the units I lost in trying to find a major that didn’t drive me crazy.
I’m scheduled to graduate in October, and this summer is the last I’ll ever have. So I decided to skip summer classes for once, forget about school for a while and just enjoy a true-blue summer vacation. I plan to paint my room aqua, visit the beach with my friends, get a tan, take lots of pictures, and make pretty things (hence the layout). I’m going to make my last summer count!

omg nikki - i love this new layout!
i’m so jealous of your summer plans! it’s definitely a great idea to plan to really relax on your last summer break from school…being in the adult workforce has its benefits, but looooong vacations are not one of them!

Wow, it’s so pretty! Makes me twice as sorry I didn’t go swimming over the long weekend. The water looks so refreshing…

nice layout hehe…
inggit talaga ako sa mga taong kagaya mo na naeenjoy mag swimming… di kasi ako marunong lumangoy at may phobia ako sa tubig since teen years ko…
dapat ata matutu na akong lumangoy para maenjoy ko na rin yon hehe :p

Thanks for the tips, Rosemarie!
Thanks, Beth! I’m glad you enjoyed the aqua
Aggie & Chrissa, swimming tayo hehe! Have we ever gone swimming together before? Parang di pa ata…
Tiyaw, so di ka nag-enjoy nung nag-swimming tayo kina Pots last summer? Parang natatandaan ko na relaxed ka naman nung time na ‘yun…

I love the colors and summer-ish theme.. it makes me adore a season I normally despise for its intolerable weather.
