  • Whirlwind

    Was supposed to be an hour long video blog update. But that just seems too much. 

    So here you go, a brief albeit concise list of what the past two months have been like, with accompanying pictures where applicable and bonus random clips.

    -02/25 hot pot and gelato last din before kuya left

    -02/28 Awkward incident in which I had no idea how to react to the donair guy's mock-flirtation. Had promised the younger brother free food in exchange for my number,

    -03/24 errands with mother, very painful acne treatment and one patronizing Subway lady who sought to teach me how to count change properly
