Love, is the only magical feeling.

I know what happiness can be.

Decided to continue blogging again because of an anon who has been reading my blog since 2008.
Felt so honoured that I'll start to blog more often again. :)
Here's to you, anon. 


Well, blog's been pretty much dead since I left for a vacation at Australia and followed by the start of my last semester in SP.
But I shall continue from where I left off. In segments, next few posts. :)


Australia:
Took a 17-day trip to Australia flying to Melbourne, to Sydney and back to Melbourne.
With the annoying brother who's studying in Melb, I decided to go over!
Keeping him company for a bit and also to just look around, because being there when I was 5 held no significance to me.
Nonetheless, I've had such a memorable short trip. I would go again because I barely did explore much.

First Australian breakfast was a humongous portion I never expected!
Gluten free breakfast is pretty common there, and it had a different touch to its taste and a bit to get used to.
But generally, I love the food. I cannot emphasize more.

Chanced upon this photobooth at Flinders St. and I immediately wanted a photo!
I always see how people take these photos with their fun shots and whatnot, and I just knew I had to do it too.
So I got it with my brother at 4AUD. :)

Also visited the aquarium at Melbourne because I learned to love and appreciate animals to a whole different level.
Played with this little penguin because he is such a follower and attention seeker!
Literally followed me wherever I walked and it was so adorable. Couldn't resist.


Flew over to Sydney on the third day, and I've put on so much weight I couldn't even care less because there's just good food every where!

It is difficult to resist all temptations and to just eat and regret later. Which I still am right now, 5 months later.
But, I really enjoyed their culture and food portions which are almost, if not more than double the amount we get here in this little island.

Sharing some love with my brother ♡
Our day out to the beach where we got on a ferry and enjoyed the sun in the cold weather.
Also getting our sticker silhouette cut out by this amazing artist who did it in a minute or so, at Chinatown.

I love how there are Seagulls everywhere, chased them hard, tried to capture, and this was the best I caught.
Visited the Sydney Koala Park and this was the closest I got to a Koala, to my dismay, I couldn't even carry it. :(


At least I hung out with some little kangaroos who are so tamed I couldn't help but want to cuddle them.
But they were filled with dust and I was afraid they might give me a back kick too. HAHA.

Not forgetting my adorable little niece, Emily :) She's the cutest little thing I could ever imagine.
Didn't take photos with Emily and Sophie, sadly.



After getting back to Melbourne, I went to the Tulip Farm Festival where I got in for free because I'm a kid. ;)
An amazing morning spent there where I got to take in so much goodness and experience a diversity of cultures all within the area.
There were food, music, parades, people dancing all over, little showcases, events, llamas, owls, amazing tulips everywhere....
The list goes on!
I couldn't believe everything that was happening, I was in awe learning so much about the different types of culture.
Best thing yet, they were all so friendly and warm, greeting you, making you feel welcomed. No discrimination.


Have I mentioned about the amazing graffiti all over the walls?!

Ended my last week with a Wednesday night fever with this bunch.
Great night. Bad memory. or rather no memory. 




Thank you Australia for the amazing little journey.
I know happiness.
