May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favor

Together with Kamille, Margeory and Dyanara, I watched Hunger Games at SM Marilao 2 days after its premiere showing. Not only they are my close friends, they’re also my review mates whenever we have our tests and my movie buddies. Every time we plan to go out together, I have made other commitments so this was my first time to actually come with them. I must say, that day was undeniably special. I planned on posting this before our graduation but I couldn’t force myself.. I was preoccupied. Right now, I just miss them! 

Moving on with the movie itself.. Jennifer Lawrence did a very good job in playing the role of Katniss Everdeen. She’s  just perfect - her hair, voice, height, eyes, acting skills. We couldn’t help ourselves but compliment how gorgeous she is. This might be a good break for her career! Personally speaking, if I were to base my answer with the movie, I’m team Gale! Liam Hemsworth and Jennifer Lawrence have a chemistry.. I didn’t see a ‘spark’ going on between Katniss and Peeta. Though in the book, I really like Peeta! Did I mention that I read the book because everybody is talking about how good it is?

When Katniss was inside the arena with Peeta and Gale’s facial expression was hurt.. I can almost hear everyone’s sympathy. “Awwwww!” was their reaction. Margeory and I even said, “Go for Peeta and we’ll have Gale for ourselves!” On a totally random note, is it hard to learn archery? 

PS: Must read Catching Fire soon!

Fontana Trip in Details!

We’ve planned this whole thing while eating our lunch as a group in August or September. I couldn’t contain my excitement because I like to go in groups! The more, the merrier! This is our chance to bond! December came and almost everyone backed out. Probably one of the reasons is, strictly no boys allowed. Margot, who volunteered to shoulder the lodging because her family is a member, booked a villa for us in advance! Four of us were already ready for this trip. Paula & I and Margot & Shanine, we’re quadruplets! But the night before, Shanine wasn’t able to go because her dad didn’t allow her due to private reasons. Because of this, I thought the trip was cancelled.. and I was thinking of lame excuses not to go but Margot’s mom will get mad if we don’t come since the payment for the villa has already been made. Anyway, our rendezvous was Mcdo Bocaue at 9 am! I was late, what else is new? While on our way to Pampanga, I didn’t talk too much. When we arrived at Fontana, I was hesitating if we’re gonna have fun or not. Well, just look at the photos and you be the judge.

Our first stop was the Water Park! Inside, you’ll see a lot of pools that you don’t see in common resorts. 

One of the best shot we have! Thanks to Margot’s brother for this one. 

I wanted to try this out ever since I saw that feature about Ace Water Spa! You don’t have to paddle or do anything, the currents of the river will take you away.

Paula was sluggish because she was having a hard time holding the yellow thing while Margot and I were laughing at her! :)

We tried the Big Horn! This was fun but it sucks that I didn’t get the chance to try their Giant Slide.

We didn’t want to leave without a photo worth sharing because I had to upload the photos in Facebook and I just know that I would blog about this!

The entrance fee for this one was different from the Water Park (so expensive!) The most enjoyable experience was the Aroma Therapy! I didn’t know that Hot Spring Jacuzzi exists in the Philippines because I only see them in foreign movies. Talk about being innocent!

Look at the petals! They smelled so good! The Hot Spring (38degree Celsius - 42 degree Celsius)  is good for the skin tone and relaxes your body (according to the sign board, haha).. but after trying it out, you should go to the Cold Spring! (15 degree Celsius - 18 degree Celsius) We were laughing out loud because you have to dip into the Hot Spring and Cold Spring three times alternatively to achieve what the signboard says! We kept saying, “For the benefit of the skin tone!”

After swimming the whole day, we unwind and bond by sharing stories and taking a lot of goofy and wacky photos. We were making fun of Paula because she brought this cute little hat! 

My blue maxi dress and Paula’s floral dress were useless! We didn’t have the guts to wear them. 

Ending this post to thank Margot’s Mom and Margot for this awesome and wonderful trip! I really had fun and enjoyed the most out of it even though we were just three. It would not have been possible if it weren’t for them!

I won’t entertain YOU.

If you happen to notice that I often talk about my lovelife, this is a rare moment. Before I let someone pursue me, I would immediately talk about it with my closest friends. I promise myself that I’ll prioritize my friends than boys because friendships last longer than girlfriend-boyfriend relationships. That’s how important my friends are. I love them to bits.

First step, taking into considerations my friends’ thoughts and opinions about the certain guy. There are two possible answers, “Yes” and “No”. If my friends don’t like you, I’m sorry but there’s a chance that I’ll stick up with them. Especially when a friend of mine has a grudge on you or hates you for something you did, you have to clean up your mess first. I don’t want to get involved. Some people might think that this is a narrow way of thinking but I have my own system. Therefore, please my friends first before anything else. They’re my influence.

More importantly, you should have an approval coming from my mom, my sisters and my brother. I’m open to my family. You’re lucky if I have mentioned you and talked about you. They’re the most important people for me. 

Apparently, there’s this one guy that both my friends and my sister like for me. And… uh, I’m starting to notice him as well. 

Beware: Regarding the title, I’m not referring to anyone in particular.
