I attended Hawaii Club's Luau this evening, and it finally hit me that this would be the last time I'd ever be going to this event as a Georgetown student. For the past couple of months when I went to events, on some subconscious level I knew this would be my last opportunity to go, but it's only tonight when that recurring realization felt ( Read more... )

Now that I’m back home, I am really thankful that I got to spend Christmas with my family in Seattle. My aunts say that I haven’t had spent Christmas with them since I was two or three years old, back in the Philippines; as for my dad, it must be at least twenty years since he spent the holidays with his parents. I can’t even imagine waiting that ( Read more... )
