This round’s Blogkadahan theme is “Beginnings.” I started off the round with the piece “Memoirs of a Former Party Girl”.
Would anyone like to share stories over Cosmopolitans and tequila shots? Or would you be happy with a cup of tea or hot chocolate? Whatever it is you’d like to have, I’m sure we’ll share the [...]

H: “Okay sa’n mo gusto mag-breakfast?”
Me: “McDonald’s! Yum!”
Vroom vroom. Dating sa McDo drive-thru.

When he left, I asked my sister if she wanted to do [...]

c) growing eyebags since I’ve been sleeping later than usual because of the running left [...]

I’m on vacation. *please join me in this giant human wave… woohooo!* This short rest will be the perfect opportunity to reconnect with my family (who I hardly see), my pet fishies (who I hardly talk to now, but they are well-fed in case you’re wondering) and our home (which I’ve been decluttering little [...]

Let’s play our second caption game!
Think of a caption for this picture and post it it in the comments section. Get those creative juices flowin’! Here’s the pic:
