Halloween

Here's a blog post to end the month with a bang!

My 2nd month anniversary with Eddie coincided with Halloween, so it was a fun-filled weekend :) Eddie brought me to the Kimmel Center in the city to watch my first ever orchestra in an auditorium designed in a shape of a violin. Orchestras are not my cup of tea, but I enjoyed myself thoroughly nevertheless. At one point in time, I closed my eyes and I realized that's actually a better way to appreciate the music. Less distractions that way and you get to listen to the nuances of the music :)

At the orchestra on Friday night! 

Saturday - we celebrated Halloween at the boys' place. It was a costume party so I felt obliged to dress up as well. I whipped out my head dress that I got from Egypt and told everyone I was a genie. haha.

Eddie and I carved a pumpkin!

Poconos !

Fallbreak 2010 has been a special weekend for me as it was my first holiday out of Philadelphia with Eddie and the rest of my friends from SJU. We rented a house in the mountainous area. Since it was in the middle of no where with no amenities nearby, I was in charged of getting the food and fed everyone well for the 2 full days!

 The guys look so hot.

 We went hiking with the group. Eddie and I were leading everyone :)

 We also had a bonfire outside the house. Our sausages attracted the raccoons but they didn't get near us since there were 10 of us and it was only one of them.

 Twister at the end of the night after our bonfire was so much fun! Steve had everyone scurrying off the mat, since he was on top of everyone most of the time and had everyone in an awkward position.

 Oh sean, white boy. I love you.

Finally, Eddie and I at the BouldersField. There were just a bunch of rocks in the middle of the forest. They were prolly formed a thousand years ago because of the change in weather.

Chapter 2

Liew Pui Khuan, this post if for u! I'm sorry I haven't been able to update many of you about the latest happenings in my life... that's because I don't have any motivation to blog anymore. It was during day 1 of my semester that I decided that no one would wanna read about my mundane lifestyle in the US anyway, hence the lack of updates.

So let's see. New boyfriend. Check. Studying for classes.Check. Hanging out with friends. Check. Presiding over club meetings. Check. Working. Check. It may seem that I have a crazy lifestyle, but this semester is actually pretty relaxing for me. I decided, during the first week of my classes, that I don't want to burn myself out for my last year of school, so I dropped a class. I'm actually enjoying this sense of freedom a lot! I can walk around school at a slower pace now, take my own sweet time whenever I do something without having to worry about the lack of time and sleep thereafter if I need to stay up late to catch up on stuff. I signed up for a Zumba (kinda like salsa) class to force myself to exercise, and it's great coz it's a good time for me to see some friends and catch up with people.

This relaxing pace of life is pretty sweet. In all honesty, I am actually enjoying life right now.

Whenever I look around and see my friends living a flustered life because of their hectic schedules, I actually sympathize with them. I can't believe that I used to be like that in the past.

I have nothing really exciting to write about. I had my one-month anniversary with Eddie on Wednesday. We went to a Cuban restaurant downtown to celebrate the evening. It was a quiet and lovely dinner, and we took a stroll along the river afterwards. Life is perfect right now. I don't want to screw things up. And I won't =)

Fallbreak's up in 2 weeks and I am currently planning for a mini-retreat to the Poconos mountains with Eddie and 8 other friends. I rented a house and just sent out my check to pay for the rent. Of course, everyone chipped in. In my humble opinion, it's gonna be an epic weekend. All of us are really looking forward to this well-deserved break!
