October(s)
October has always been my favorite month. I might be biased here, since I’m an October girl (who wouldn’t love their birth month?), but I really think there’s something charming about this month. And I’ve never failed to find that charm, each and every year. Last year was one of the most unforgettable Octobers for…

Cornwall pt. 3: Penzance, and a glimpse of St. Michael’s Mount
On the way back from St. Ives and Land’s End, we made a quick stop at Penzance, just to see ‘how it looks’. It looked quite like St. Ives, actually, if you look at one side. We didn’t do much in here. We just walked on the pavement along the beach, captured the typical Cornwall…

Saturday Night
Okay, let’s take a break from the Cornwall posts (which is nowhere near the end). Last Saturday we made a potluck dinner for the second time, this time with more people. The more the merrier! We came to Alex’s, and that place was packed with people from all around the world. France, Venezuela, Mexico, Slovakia,…

Cornwall pt. 2: Land’s End
Wow, I’ve put this off for too long. It’s been busier than usual in here with all the classes and assignments. So here’s the second part of the Cornwall trip. After St. Ives, we made a stop at Land’s End. The entrance looked like a recreational park for children with no hints of the sea…

Cornwall pt. 1: St. Ives

23
Two years ago, a bunch of friends came at midnight with a cake, smeared it to my face and pajamas. A year ago, I celebrated it with these people, with an hour karaoke session and a slice of Oreo cake. Today, it’s only me and a stack of books in the Hartley Library, my favorite…

Hello from Southampton!
It’s been a week since I arrived, and I still have my stuff unpacked, because I’m too busy going around (or I’m just being lazy as usual. Ahem). I wake up everyday to grey sky, and wish that the sky could be blue, at least once in a while. And then it was, for a…

Brother
Brother went away to a village for his school’s program, and is scheduled to come back just a few hours after I take off. Oh, the irony. I’m gonna miss hanging out in his room and teasing him, and our mission to smuggle some snacks to the bedroom with the midnight raid at the dark pantry, because we’re…

A Farewell
When my friends said there was gonna be a farewell party, I thought it would be just lunch and a little chitchat. Turned out, it was more than just a lunch. The first surprise came after the waitress at Pancious got all our orders written down and left. Seno pulled out a black fabric from…
