Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda

Last night I saw the final episode of Sex and the City. I already know how it would end but of course I had to see it for myself.

Samantha finally let go of her fears and fell in love with Smith, an actor almost half her age. Sluts, after all, also have a right to fall in love.

Miranda learns to accept her new life as a wife and mother.

Charlotte gets her wish to become a mom and gets a baby from China.

And Carrie, she ends up with Mr. Big, whose name is apparently John (he's name was never said or shown till the last few seconds of the series). She went to Paris but life there was not what she hoped would be. She goes back to New York. Back to her friends.

Although I'm still an Aidan fan... Mr. Big isn't so bad. I guess you'll really end up with the person you're meant to be no matter how much you try to fight it.

Why by Avril Lavign

This song is posted on my desk in the dorm...

Why, do you always do this to me?
Why, couldn't you just see through me?
How come, you act like this
Like you just don't care at all
Do you expect me to believe I was the only one to fall?
I could feel I could feel you near me, even though you're far away
I could feel I could feel you baby, why

It's not supposed to feel this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me, are you and me still together?
Tell me, do you think we could last forever?
Tell me, why

Hey, listen to what we're not saying
Let's play, a different game than what we're playing
Try, to look at me and really see my heart
Do you expect me to believe I'm gonna let us fall apart?
I could feel I could feel you near me, even when you're far away
I could feel I could feel you baby, why

It's not supposed to feel this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me, are you and me still together?
Tell me, you think we could last forever?
Tell me, why

So go and think about whatever you need to think about
Go ahead and dream about whatever you need to dream about
And come back to me when you know just how you feel, you feel
I could feel I could feel you near me, even though you're far away
I could feel I could feel you baby, why

It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me, are you and me still together?
Tell me, do you think we could last forever?
Tell me, why

They Come and Go

Our foreign exchange classmates are going home one by one. We were having so much fun we didn't realize three months have passed and it's time to go. It's so difficult saying goodbye especially if you don't know if you'll see each other again.

I hate goodbyes.

Boracay Hang Over

I went to Boracay over the weekend. Despite the typhoon I went with some of the foreign exchange students in school. Although they didn't like my style of traveling since my mom booked me in a hotel rather than letting me rough it out with them... everything went well. I would say it was the best vacation I've been because it was the first time I traveled with friends. No schedule. No plans. Just whatever the beach breeze brought us. We ate in a very good Indian restaurant on the first night. It was thursday night when we got there and while Yoying was leaving its mark on Eastern Luzon, we were experiencing slight rainshowers. It was fine with us. As long as we were all together, we'd find a way to have fun. We didn't have to suffer with rains because the next days it was all sunny. We hang out in the beach and got a massage during the day. At night we'd stuff ourselves senseless and drink to oblivion (well, almost). We went on a boat ride and snorkeled till our backs turned red.

I had to leave earlier than them because of some school stuff but I had memories to keep me happy for a few months:

1. Sleeping with a kulambo over the bed
2. Watching the sunset by the beach
3. Skinny dipping at 4am under the moon and stars

Hmmm... so nice. Such bliss. So devastating to go back to reality called school. But then again, life goes on. I'll just have to wait for the next trip.

Thanks Dave. Hope to do this again with you =)
