this is what it feels like

IT WAS PROBABLY JUST WISHFUL THINKING WHEN I PROMISED THAT I WOULD START POSTING MORE REGULARLY; WITH MOCK EXAMS AND UNIVERSITY-APPLICATION-INDUCED ANXIETY, MY SCHEDULE REALLY HASN'T IMPROVED SINCE MY LAST UPDATE. I MEAN IT THIS TIME WHEN I SAY THAT THIS BLOG IS MOVING UP IN MY PRIORITIES, THOUGH. IT'S EVEN WRITTEN IN MY '2016 GOALS', WHICH IS PINNED ONTO MY GIANT INSPO BOARD.

SO I'M BEGINNING THE NEW YEAR WITH A SMALL ROUNDUP OF MY HECTIC HIATUS, MOSTLY VIA A 4 YR. OLD DISPOSABLE THAT I RANDOMLY DISCOVERED IN MY ROOM. THE FOLLOWING CHRONICLE MY TIME FROM MANILA --> THE SEYCHELLES --> HONG KONG AND FINALLY --> MANILA AGAIN, AS MY TRANSITION INTO 2016 BEGINS.
