This year is seriously passing by so fast. I guess that's really how it goes when you're seeing the value of life more and you're living in the moment and you're not trying to prove someone that you're worth something.

October 2017 for me was wonderful! Though I've been grinding and working hard, I've been chasing and living my life as well. My much needed relaxation and vacation happened! My Japanese cousin arrived in the Philippines, same day that David Archuleta arrived. haha. And I kind of explored the Philippines with them. I went to Anilao, Batangas and snorkeled. I had so much fun swimming with the fishes! I went to Tagaytay, rode the Vikings (and I will never ever ride again) in Skyranch, and I experienced Fish Spa at Manila Ocean Park! I also explored Luneta (Rizal Park) and took a lot of photos. I used to live near Luneta, like 10-15 minutes walk, but we somehow never took photos there. haha. How ironic. I slept over at my Aunt's place too which is a lot of fun (I "live" there for a few months last year).

I also went back to my dear alma mater with my brothers and we met out former teachers after 7 years! I had so much memories because I spent about 12 years of my life there!

I also had a bunch of family time this month! We had movie nights and dinner outs (is this right? lol). A new mall near our house opened so we went there as well. And I highly appreciate the free shuttle! ;)

I met up and hanged out with a few long-time friends and I definitely enjoyed that! I also had a photoshoot so watch out for amazing photos here on the blog.

To top this month of, I think the main highlight of my October was... drum roll please..

SEEING DAVID ARCHULETA LIVE AGAIN AFTER ALMOST 6 LONG YEARS! If you're curious, I wrote down why I love David even after all these years here. I'll do a separate post on this so I'll keep my thoughts short for now. haha.

So yaaas. That's it you guys! I had a lot of fun in October and I'm eternally grateful for that. Now we're on the second to the last month of 2017 and let's just live the moment!
