V-Day’s the best. On second thought, it sucks. No, it’s the greatest day ever. Actually, we wanna sleep through it.

Is it just us, or does everyone have a love/hate relationship with February 14?

The past few days

FIrst in a while

My Summer (In Photographs)

Back

Wow.
Ghana, Taiwan, and Palau was definitely an experience to remember.
So many things occurred that I can't even begin to wrap my mind around all of them.
In short:
I didn't loose any weight.
I got bit by a million bed bugs.
I flew on the plane for a total of around 75 hrs.
I am all scratched up by coral.
I developed many bruises from being clumsy on the boat.
I got food poisoning from my home family's food.
I was very close to touching a sea turtle.
I saw another side of Taiwan I never imagined to see.
I witnessed many miracles.
I lost respect for myself.
I had a bad case of diarrhea.
I was ripped off.
I made great friends.
I made a few enemies.
I rediscovered God.

As you can probably see, a whole mess of things went down.
Both good and bad.
But, overall, it was a worthwhile and very interesting experience.


I'll elaborate more in a later post (with pictures).

As much as I miss it, I'm glad to be home.
I really am.

so long, farewell!

i'm off for ze other side of ze world!!!



Ghana
- big bonding time with the kids at the orphanage
- to see the places where i never thought i would see
- to come back with a million pictures (literally)
- a motherload of bug bites
- and 2 shades darker.

i really don't know what to expect.
but i know for a fact that i think a lot and learn so much more, especially when i am far away from home.
and phew.
Ghana, i can't wait to see what you are going to show me.
i just pray for a bigger heart.
because mine gets weary way too quickly.

Palau & Taiwan
- i live for family reunions
- to come back with a million stories to talk about at the family table for years
- seeing tons of family that i don't get to see every day
- to eat till i feel like puking
