    Wow! It's been exactly 1 year since my last official blog post! (There was 1 post on my drafts.. it's about my SG trip last year, but that was also started/written on nov 1, so really.. it's been a year since I visited blogger. Talk about being busy eh?

    Hmmm, so how should this blog go? Let's see, let's start where I left off..


Here are the contents of my unfinished draft:

title: the unplanned SG trip
..

A few days before the end of my exams, my aunt (I call her mommy) texted me to ask how the exams were.. and then she asked me if I had anymore remaining.. I had a couple more remaining at that time, and so I told her that. And then she asked me if I had anymore after that, I said no more, and no more school after that actually. And so, she asked me if I wanted to go with her to Singapore to drop off my cousins to their parents. B-)

    See, my ninong/uncle and his wife resides in SG because of my ninong's work, so my two cousins live with my aunts in Baguio while they are still studying. And since it was their sembreak, mommy will accompany them to SG as the youngest of the two is only 17, so still a minor, while the eldest, though 18 already, is not really used to travelling on their own yet.

    Anyways, as I was saying, my aunt asked me if I wanted to go with them, I know I mentioned in the previous post that most of my leaves were already used up for my 'Study Leave'. Incidentally, that left me with 2 VLs still, so I said, yeah sure, I'll just check first if they'll allow me at work.

    Luckily enough, they did! :)
