Won't somebody please take me home?
-Avril Lavigne

nicole slept over the other night. we hung out in andrea's room, chatting, while singing along to dave matthews. yay cousins.

yesterday mom took me to meet some old friends of hers. they used to work with each other in unicef. it was so funny, i ended up talking to two old men about games and playstation. downright hilarious.

tonight we're celebrating tita sena's birthday. japanese dinner. i've no doubt we're going to pig out.

and tomorrow, we board the plane to the philippines.

... i think being so far away from home... actually made me grow a little.

i want you all to stop hurting...
