Traveling for good news








Today, I still feel dizzy due to the weekend getaway i had with the Llantos. The trip went great. Spending half of the day floating in the middle of the sea is such an amazing experience though i felt so sick after the wet afternoons.

It was a 4-day out-of-town trip with Madam and Dr. Llanto, kuya Joy, Bong and Jezreel. Knowing that it would be a missionary trip, I easily opted to go with them with the license from my dear parents and i am glad they allowed me to. Being with new and rare set of companions was a great adjustment and a challenging activity for this holiday. I never thought that i would easily be okay with people i never thought would be okay to be with me. In short, feel nako dili mi mgkasinabot. But bravo sunbeam joy! Bravo! It just shows i can live wherever and with whoever by being flexible.

And Jologs nga talaga kami...hahaha... We guys have different things in common even when i was the only girl with them. Somehow-out-of-tune-renditions were just nothing because we had a great time singing heartwarming melodies even though the people doesn't know we made couple of mistakes.

uh-oh!
got to go...
I would just drop by for some other chikas... I really have to go... see yah!!!

Edward...Bella

Yes, that is because Edward Cullen is a vampire. But not in the traditional, Dracula sort of way. As it turns out, real vampires don't sleep in coffins (in fact, they don't sleep at all), they don't mind garlic or crosses, sunlight doesn't kill them (although they can't be seen in it, since it literally sparkles off of their skin), and they are irresistibly beautiful. The one thing that is the same from the traditional myth is that they do need blood to survive. However, Edward and his family live off of animal blood, jokingly calling themselves "vegetarians."

At first, Edward tried to stay away from me "for my own good," but it was impossible for us to stay away from each other, and eventually he gave in. Everything seemed as though it was going well, even his family accepted me, and then James and his coven came into town. James, a vampire hunter, set it in his mind to kill me, but after a long chase, the Cullen's eventually disposed of him.

The summer before my senior year of high school was fantastic - Edward and I spent every day together, and I grew closer with his family. But then right after my 18th birthday in September, Edward and his family left town "for my own good." The only "good" outcome from that was that Jake and I were able to become best friends. Thinking that Edward did not love me had to be one of the most painful emotions ever, but Jake helped me get through the days, no mater how bard they were. But it turned out that Jake had a secret as well - him and some of the others in La Push are werewolves. Again, not in the typical sense. They don't have to change at the full moon, and would never hurt a human.
