Dreaming of a Sunny Beach
I seem to have the worst luck in going to the beach and getting a tan. I vacationed in Pagudpud with my family a few summers ago, and it stormed for the bulk of our stay. Then a couple of summers after that my high school barkada went to Punta Fuego. Sure it didn’t rain, but the sun didn’t bother to make an appearance the whole time we were there either. And only a couple weeks ago I traveled to Subic with some college friends–you guessed it, a typhoon tagged along (click on the photo for more).
While it was undoubtedly interesting to swim in the ocean amid strong winds and cold rain, I’m starting to lose the hope of ever seeing a sunny beach again. I should probably give up on that natural tan I’ve been coveting for the past several years and be content with being pale. At least I won’t have to worry about skin cancer 
You’re going to have to excuse the whiny tone of this post. I normally make an effort to keep my entries light and entertaining, but these past few days I haven’t been feeling good enough about myself to be perky. Let’s just say it hasn’t been the best of weeks. Several recent incidents have shown me that I can be a bit of a self-absorbed bitch at times. Though I don’t really believe I’m completely to blame for the said incidents, it is obvious that I need a little attitude adjustment.
Ick. I feel weird posting semi-serious stuff here–clearly I’ve had more practice writing about the quirky and the silly–but I didn’t want to censor myself too much either, so I just let the words flow. Sometimes I do need to purge. Don’t worry about this becoming a trend, though. My life is cushy and uncomplicated; I have neither an excuse nor a desire to go all “tortured soul” on you. We’ll be back to regular programming by next post, I promise 
If you have an abundance of positive energy today, send some over to my mom and my dogs, Oreo and TJ. They’re celebrating their birthdays this week

Before you go to the beach, make sure you've packed your polarized sunglasses. After all, sunglasses protect your eyes, and there's sure to be a lot of sun at the beach. Whether you are in need of mens sunglasses or you're looking for womens sunglasses, make sure to buy the best shades to protect your eyes!

I wouldn’t worry about that too much. Even the nicest girl can be a bitch at times. I consider myself perky, friendly and shy, but you should see me when I’m in a bad mood

Anyway, your self-absorbed bitchiness is understandable in this case, don’t worry.
Boo on the weather! The tropical storms had better stay away on our trip to Tagaytay… *scowls at the sky*

Singit? Ang cute nga natin e! Fave ni Mommy ‘yan out of all our Subic pics kaya ‘yan ang nilagay ko dito.
Re: Tagaytay, I have a feeling we’ll be shivering in our new bikinis (god help us lol) thanks to the weather =P
