Quick Holiday Update!

Hey there, fellow readers!

So, as I mentioned in my previous post, this month I've been off broadening horizons and richening my appreciation of cultural diversity, through travel! And it has been AMAZING.

It was my intention to take some time out each day, to write a little update of what was happening and how we were getting on. But, to be quite frank, I got so captivated in the beauty of the landscape, fascinated by the culture and lost in the lifestyle over there, that it completely slipped my mind!

So this is just a suuuuuuuper quick post, cos I have a little spare time whilst my best friend (who is almost more of a girl than me) finishes doing his hair. We are in Boracay at the moment, which is the most stunning little island in the Philippines. And we're off out tonight to a party on the beach which promises to be quite unforgettable. And then off quad biking around the island tomorrow. Busy busy!

So, instead, here are just a few little snaps of my trip so far!

I'm sorry I didn't have time to write anything insightful. But they say a picture speaks a thousand words, so hopefully these snaps will go some way to rectifying the matter!

Thanks for reading (or not haha), over and out...

The Truth.

Promise me not to waste your time, or mine, with pointless pleasantries or foolish niceties. Give me the harsh, brutal, truth. Let me find comfort in the reality of your honesty, instead of numbness in the fairy tale of your lies. I would much rather the bitter sting swallowing a harsh pill, than to choke on the sickly syrup of honeyed words. Speak your truth.

Surviving University

Hello again my lovely readers! It's been a while since the last time I posted, so my apologies. I guess I got a little wrapped up in my own little world, and forgot the importance of taking a little time to sit down and clear your mind. Blogs are an amazingly useful tool, even for something as simple as giving you a chance to vent all those niggling thoughts in the back of your brain. It's kind of like spinning plates... You get so caught up trying to keep everything going and try so hard not to let anything fall, that you don't give yourself a chance to just be yourself. But once again, I digress. Here goes. So in the second year of university, I think the biggest thing I've learnt is what NOT to do. Unfortunately I learnt the hard way, but on the bright side, hopefully by reading this you will have the sense to avoid making the same mistakes! And although some may seem like obvious blunders, it doesn't take much to make something appear like a great idea. May...

ASIAN ADVENTURE PART II

Hello world! So it's day three of my wonderful little adventure around S.E.A (if you don't know about it, read my previous post!), and so far I've spent all the time in Saigon. I completely love it here, the city is truly alive with activity, the streets buzz with the energy of its citizens and the buildings tower with opportunity. I definitely feel at home here. But alas, here's what I've been up to! DAY 1: I finally arrived in Saigon after an exhausting 25 hours on planes and in airports! It was 9PM here and I was completely wiped-out, but desperate to get out and explore! So, after finding the Hotel, hastily showering and getting ready, I headed out to the liveliest part of the city. Here, I met a lovely bicycle taxi man who took me up to an English speaking bar which served food all night - great for me as I had avoided plane food all day! The meal only cost 65,000 Vietnamese Dong, which is around £2 GBP. As well as this, all the bars on this strip served beer...
