A Family "Vacation"
Hey, I was pretty apprehensive about spending too much time away from home. After all, I had a lot of homework, papers and exams lined up for next week and next next week. But what the heck, I knew I’d be spending it going online anyway.
[You can skip this part]
Anyway, the day before — Friday, I was telling myself I wasn’t going to sleep so I can finish studying. The Chem 31.1 exam was canceled twice already and I haven’t studied even once. Ack?
Turns out, I didn’t end up studying too much. I just hope I pass D: Hmm… I think I will. I wasn’t cursing much during the exam which is really a good thing.
I remember a school mate telling me once, “Hey, heard you weren’t able to study for the Chinese exam last week.” I ask, “How did you know?” School mate tells me, “Oh, my sister asked me, ‘Isn’t Tiffany an honor student? I think she screwed up her Chinese exam — she kept on cursing.’ Haha.”
If I pass this exam, I owe it all to my lab prof, Ms. Florika Macazo 
She really knows her stuff. And apparently, she was a valedictorian — though I’m not entirely sure if it was during high school.
Anywaaaaay.

Tagaytay! Cold weather, buffet breakfast, lunch and cable TV — who wouldn’t want to spend their time here?
We stayed at Taal Vista Lodge (I think? D:) and got there at around 7 pm.
After dinner, I was half tempted to start doing some school work — I even opened my Chem book cause I planned to start doing my post lab. Well, planned to, anyway. Hehe. I ended up watching Xmen 2 and The Mummy Returns
My mom went on to read some Perry Mason books that her friend lent her. Perry Mason! As soon as I finish reading my reading list, I’m gonna start on those books! 
Actually, this wasn’t really supposed to be a vacation. Mom had a conference thing sponsored by Sanofi Aventis. But she wanted us to come along so off we went. Dad even came along! That’s usually a rare thing.
We spent half the time fighting with each other :/
We took turns telling one another how annoying the other one is. Hehehe. I’d hit his tummy and make puppy dog eyes at him when I can’t finish the food that I got XD Buffet makes me feel hungrier than I 
really am, hah.
I’m actually daddy’s little girl, heh. So I get on his good side. I should — I’m his favorite daughter! (Don’t tell my sister but I’m sure she’s gonna read it from here.)
BTW, his big tummy isn’t my doing. He is innately a big eater I take after him!

Hmm… But all things must come to an end and pack our bags, we did. 
Ciao
