Hello friends and uloggers out there!!! It's nice meeting you here again. Thank you #surpassinggoogle for the never ending support. You really don't get tired being with us though it might make you weary sometimes, but I am so grateful to have you here from the beginning despite of some consequences.

Due to the hectic time of work and exhausted days, we (me and my colleagues) have a yearly plan for vacation to take a little break. Just a month ago, we had this coolest unwind in Palawan, Philippines. What we did is, we booked it last year to avail some of the promo packages for our tour and airfare, to accumulate a little for savings.

,,,,,,and here I go,,,,,,

A day before the flight, I just realized that I was just the only one without a partner (so funny),,

we're all seven in a bunch and all of them were pair-by-pair as lovers,,, ahahahaha.

But what I did is not to disturb myself from thinking anything. I just enjoyed myself like nothing happened. I did not even care if I am accompanied with lovers, yet I am not having one,
