Cherish every moment; keep the people close to your heart.

I have been so afraid to be happy for so long because I thought I'll always have to pay for it in a worse way. But the past weeks, I feel very light and carefree, God knows how much I laughed this week.

FRIDAY

There are many things I'd like to share about this week but I'm gonna jump off immediately to what happened last friday.

We are having our Intramurals in school and last friday, we all attended the grand foot parade in celebration of our university's 57th founding anniversary. We weren't able to do this in two years and it feels so heartwarming to see all the employees and students lined up in their respective departments.

Every program are required to bring props to the parade and wear clothes in colors representing the college where you belong. I went to school very early to prepare the balloons. I barely had sleep this week but luckily I didn't faint at all.

That's us in front of our school! I was busy on my phone though haha.

After the parade, we decided to have our lunch and then went to the Vigan City Museum. We paid 20 Pesos each entrance fee and we were surprised on what we saw inside. They even told us how happy they are that they have visitors because the museum just recently opened.

I've been planning to be here since the day I saw the announcement in Facebook. The works of art represents the history and culture of the Ilocanos.

We were greeted by the very amiable tour guide who shared many information about the museum and our hometown. We cracked jokes, shared laughter, and took snaps!

Cheers to the people who keep us sane!

I have always been shy so it's amazing that I have people around me who never made me feel that my weaknesses are my disadvantages. They built me home when I was homeless and listened to my endless stories of darkness and blackholes.

It's nice to be with them physically. I'm glad pandemic is ending. The virtual set up is too hard to keep in touch with the people you care about.

After our museum visit, we went to my friend's apartment and I took a nap. I was really tired but I needed energy to go back to school and watch my crush (char).

I think I'm going to end the blog here.

Thank you for reading!

All the love,
