Dancepiration
biancaantonio:
Lastly, I’d like to re- introduce the people who share the same love for dancing as I do-
This is the AJMA DT - These are the people I dance with and, they have all inspired me to strive to be the best dancer that I can be. I know that I may not be the best dancer out there, but I’m pretty sure that I could work my way to be a great dancer with their support. I’m so blessed to...

Why do I love Eu......rope?
Okay, that was really corny. My apologies.
For my EU class next tuesday (aka. Valentine’s Day), we have to answer either of the 2 questions, “Why I fell in love with Europe” or “Why I want to break up with Europe”, with a story. I have no idea what I’m going to answer & what story I’m going to give! Can’t it be just a simple: Football. Or McFly....

Hannah, Gretel & their Gingerbread House
January 2, 2012
I have always, always wanted to make my own gingerbread house and I finally got to do it in Denver! My Tita Owie bought a gingerbread house-making kit a few months ago and she’s been meaning to use it with Hannah ever since but never could because she was always busy. With us there though (and to contribute to the holiday spirit), she finally was able to use it.
The kit...

5 randoms: Food I ate today
Just ‘cos I’m craving for a midnight snack….
1) & 2) Starbucks’ Dark Mocha frappe + Cinnamon roll — Because of my stupid mistake, I was out of the house 2 hours earlier than I needed to be. So, to kill time, Maia & I had breakfast in Starbucks before she went to school. I ended up staying there to study accounting (and charge my phone) even after she had...

To the best buddy in the whole wideeee world,
For trusting me with your secrets as I do with you, for listening to my rants & for knowing just what to say when I’m feeling down (that short letter you wrote me one birthday of mine, I still have it. :)), for being game to ride on a jet ski with me even after I gave Matt his battle scar, for letting me raid your closet (lol), for protecting me from your dogs (haha!), for doing well in...

My mum uploaded an album on Facebook about their recent adventure out in the snow. They went to buy rice from a nearby store just to have an excuse to get out and play.

5 randoms: Happy Holidays!
1) This is my first time spending the holidays outside the Philippines.
2) Like most Filipinos, we open our gifts on Christmas Eve. We also pray the rosary a few minutes before the new year.
3) My cousins & I used to perform for our relatives during Christmas Eve. We’d prepare song & dance numbers and it all started when our yaya taught us the dance to the Spice Girls’ song...
