it's been awhile since i last blogged, which is about 1 month ago.. life has been relatively awesome on the whole :D just a few things that happened throughout the month..

- the thursday night before our mid-sem break starts.. we had such a unforgettable time in the lounge, singing, dancing, laughing with the usual few (: definitely memorable & hilarious! what a way to just relax and have fun before we start our crazy week of studying/assignments/projects/etc..

- all the late night chats and studying sessions together in the lounge with my lovelies (: oh what fun we had! hahaha! thank God for friends to bring you through those late nights, they're better than coffee or red bull..

- moving back into my room after living in the lounge for 1 month. that 1 month in the lounge was such an awesome time. kinda bittersweet that we had to move back. but it is nice to be back in our own rooms. im so loving my room now. love the new floor that we have. makes the room look much brighter and somehow, make our room look magically bigger too. haa.

- love how close most of us prescottians plus a few others have become. always stopping by somewhere along the staircase to chat, or going to each other's room to just hang out :)

- watching a movie with my lovelies and crying our eyes out together.. i guess that's what happens when you are stressed + tired + a little homesick.. but thank God for my lovelies, everything is always better with them around :)

- the multicultural event. hahaha. preparation for it was kinda fun. well, preparing the pinata at least. first time making a pinata, and boy, did we get messy when emma smeared flour + water on me and jocelyn.. and thus begins our mini flour war.. haha. let's just say we became really dirty with flour and paint all over ourselves at the end... and then emma thought that i should be sprayed on with the water hose.. hahaha :D oh, and when we had to paint the cactus pinata, me and emma got a little too "excited" with the paint and we ended up with green paint all over our arms, legs and face ;P and during the multicultural night, what an awesome night it is! it was a little tiring to prepare everything and then cleaning up after the whole event. but it was worth it (:

- Em's 21st! unforgettable. her farm is just so breathtaking. i've fallen in love with her home. the whole nature thing.. and at night, when you look up into the sky and see the million of stars shining brightly. i'm pretty sure i've not seen a sky like that before in my life.. it was just so beautiful that only one thought was on my mind 'How great is our God! His creations are just so awesome!' and her party was just fantastic. we had so so so much fun singing and, haha, attempting to dance... mostly just a big group of us being silly ;) it was pretty cold during the night. i had on my wool jacket, long pants, 2 blankets, but i was still kind of cold. in the end, we woke up at 5+am and decided to head out of the shed and to just sit by the fire and look at the sunrise. beautiful morning. her parents made breakfast for us. it was yummmy :) and then we went to walk around her farm, fed the donkey and sheeps, cows, etc.. and her dogs - pickles, butch and jessie, sooo adorable! :D seriously, i feel so relaxed and comfortable at Em's place that i just didnt want to go back to college, back to reality.. me and jocelyn will definitely go back to em's place one day again. and yes, our roadtrip to em's place. hahaha. i would say we turned out to be pretty alright. managed to reach there earlier than we thought.. love it how we went "bull! bull! bull!" when we saw the bull statue that was supposed to be one of our landmarks. but yes, we managed to arrive at Em's safely and back to college safely too :) so, yeah. i had one of the best weekends ever at a reallllly beautiful and breathtaking farm and had a super fantastic time with my awesome group of friends :)

time flies when you're enjoying every minute of it :) thank God for awesome friends!
