No Regrets

It was a really warm day today, but I still enjoyed it. The whole family went to Universal Studios Singapore. We all rode a pretty small roller coaster but only four of us road it again. My older brother and I road a bigger one called The Mummy, which isn't that scary. We were both scared to ride it, but my mom just pushed into the entrance. I'm not the type of person who likes going on roller coasters, but I had a lot of fun. I guess sometimes I analyze things too much. There are times that it does come in handy though. But there are also times when it's the reason why I hesitate to do some things.

When I get home, I should really go thank my friends since they're one of the reasons why I don't miss all the fun. I should also thank my mom and dad. I remember one morning, they woke me up at about 5:30 and told me we were leaving in thirty minutes to go river rafting. They actually did that to me three times. At least I never regretted it.

Another Day

Today was really fun. We went to the science center again. The last time I went there everything seemed bigger, but this time, they aren't that huge. I started to appreciate more of the things they had during this visit, because it's what I've been learning in school. I didn't actually get to go around the whole science center, because my mom and I got pretty tired. We left after we had lunch at McDonalds, speaking of which, doesn't serve rice here. It's not that big a deal though. After we, left we headed for the mall to buy a few things. We eventually got really tired and decided to just go back to the hotel. The whole day went by fast. I woner what tomorrow is going to be like.

Things are Pretty Different

Singapore is so clean! The only thing you see on the ground of the sidewalks are leaves, or the feet of other people who are passing by. It's really nice to walk around, especially because more cars respect the pedestrian lane. Everyone is driving on the left side of the road, and I keep forgetting that the driver is on the right side of the car. While typing this, I just realized that chewing gum isn't allowed here. I'm not really a gum person, but I know Evee can't live here. You really can't find any gum here. I think the best alternative would be the really chewy candy that they sell here.

The trip is off to a good start. I just hope that it will keep getting better since my mom will be celebrating her birthday during the trip.

SURPRISE!

We all finally arrived in Singapore. The plane rides from Cagayan de Oro to Singapore were surprisingly very tiring. We had to wake up at two in the morning, go through immigration, and sit through a four hour flight. You would think that the plane ride was the perfect time to take a nap, but for some reason a few of us just couldn't fall asleep. But it all payed off when we walked outside the airport, because we finally saw my older brother Francis. The whole family actually planned to surprise him by going along with my mom and dad, but he didn't seem that shocked. I guess it's because we surprised him a few times before. The last time my sister came, she brought me. And the last time my dad came, he brought my mom and my sister. When my older sister complained and said he wasn't excited, he just said he knew we were capable of giving him another surprise. Maybe next time we should bring all of our cousins.

Time is Precious

There are so much things to do! Sometimes there is that feeling where you think you absolutely have no time left. Every single minute is worth an hour to you, and your schedule seems to just keep growing. But then a few days later, when you finally got everything done, you just think "Wow. I actually did it." All it took was better time management and a really organized schedule. It's funny how it always starts out the same. I guess a part of it is really psychological. The more you believe that you can do it, the easier it starts to look. But of course it takes a lot more effort than just thinking.

Cinnamon, Peanut Butter & Raisins

My mom bought one of these a few days ago. When she told me about it I thought it sounded pretty odd and wouldn't taste that good. Turns out, it was one of those things that just prove you wrong.

Sometimes completely different things are just not good together, or sometimes they somehow just work. It reminds me of how friends or spouses can be. Some of them have the smallest things in common, but have a whole lot of differences that just keep them together. It might not some that amazing, but it probably is.

Iv'e Got a Question

"If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it still have a sound?"

Answer the question first.

If you honestly tell me you believe the tree will still have a sound, I will applaud you. Why? Because to believe that the tree will make a sound, that it won't let you down, and you won't ever have any virtual proof of that, is a pretty good accomplishment.
