Okay so basically I have been MIA from this blog for 3 month and to be honest with you I do have a reason. A perfectly legitimate reason.
Okay so the last time I posted was around 23 August (It was actually, exactly 23 August, I checked) and around that time the school term was ending meaning that there exams, tests and assessments flying everywhere. SO obviously i was very busy.
The following week i still could not post because I was just unwinding and relaxing after all the unnecessary stress that school gave me (don't listen to your parents kids! School is bad for you!). So obviously it was just healthy for me to you know, just unwind and relieve myself of all the stress. Also it was the week of city experience which is where you and your class goes to the city for a week of school instead of doing normal classes. They said the point of it was to get us used to the real world but I don't think they know that 80% of the kids at school spend their free time in the city... Anyway… So we got ready for it and were put into groups, told the rules, shown the boundaries and all that blah-di-dah stuff.
It actually turned out to be an amazing week and I loved it! Yes sounds exaggerated but remember the 80% of kids who spend their free time in the city? Yeah I'm part of the 20% that does NOT spend their free time in the city. I know. Sad.
So I was actually pretty busy during that week because of the same reason that I have been completely MIA for. I will soon tell you that reason.
…
LOL Jokes. I'm just going to tell you. But bear with me cause it gets quite confusing now.
So another program that my school has is a student exchange program with Italy. I love travelling and I love Italy so it made sense for me to go. Actually, the moment I decided to go to this school and saw their brochures and promotions and stuff, I saw the exchange program and immediately asked my mum to go. She said yes because she is a super mom (yes I did just say that, #DontJudge) and she is cool like that okay? Okay.
SO it turns out that after City Experience week, literally just the day after, I was heading off to l'Italia! Yup. Ikr? No rest for lil ol' me. It was literally the Saturday right after the friday of City Experience.
So that is why I was so busy that week and why I couldn't go on the last day (It was mainly reflections and worksheet stuff anyway so I didn't want to go in the first place! XD) of City Experince week because I had to spend that whole day doing last-minute packing.
Those are the reasons why i couldn't post right after my last post.
The reason that I couldn't post like months after my last post is because of the Italy trip. Can I just say though that I am going to need a completely new post about that trip because it was just AMAZING!
Okay so I come back 3 weeks after I leave which is like on September 14 and we came back on October 4. Can I just say I've never actually experienced jet lag but after coming back from Italy… All I can say is jet lags a pain in the bottom.
I was sleeping when I shouldn't be and I was awake when I shouldn't be… My eating tie was all messed up and I was zoned out for 75% of the time. Yeahh… Real pain. And then after that I had to catch up with everything, get back to my normal routine… ANd since I basically had no internet most of the time…. I kinda got used to entertaining myself without internet.
Horrifying I know.
But… That's not the only reason why I couldn't post. I mean. WHat jet lag lasts for 3 months?!
So one of the main reason is school.
It's the end of the year which means exams. The bloody exams that I have to hardcore study for for at least 1 week. At least. These exams are big time because they're end-of-year exams. But that's not it. My lovely and wonderful mother has also
Another reason is that… bum ta da dum!!! It's CHRISTMAS!!!
And this year is uber special because we get to go back to Philippines for a HUGE family reunion! YEAHHH! But. This also means spending a humungous amount of time looking for Christmas presents. ANd we all know that not everyone is a size 7. Therefore I have spent a lot of time shopping, not for myself sadly, but for this special holiday season.
So yeah. Now you know the reasoning behind this and hopefully you do not get too mad. After all, I can't exactly help it!
