brb, eurotrippin'.

so this (tuesday) morning, i woke up to a text from le juliana:
J: i have a huge feeling we're leaving tomorrow.
B: hooboy.

stoic reaction is due to being awake at an ungodly hour of 9am but the urgency of the situation was definitely registered because all these time, we thought we were leaving on thursday.
well we are, at 12am so that makes leaving for the airport on a wednesday night.

thank you jujess for double checking our itinerary! T_______T

after exchanging a series of "OHMYGOD WHAT THE FUCK I HAVEN'T STARTED PACKING!!!", we both got our shit together and ran whatever last minute errands that we had take care of.

it is mother stressful ok?

we had to buy stuff we normally wouldn't use (or rather, i wouldn't use) like a traveler's pillow & an international adaptor, change money to at least 2 currencies, activate whatever cards that need to be activated, double check visa requirements, check in to 3 flights and a whole long list of other stuff.
our agent also just sent in our insurance information, one day prior to departure -___-"
talk about last minute.
ju and i have been whatsapping pretty much the whole day today to update each other on our progress wtf.

anyway.

when you're reading this scheduled post, we're probably in perth airport waiting to board!



we'll stay safe and look out for one another so calm your tits everyone!
we (and trust me, we doooo) know of the dangers and notoriety in europe and i'm freaked out as it is but i know we're clever girls who are capable of being street smart and vigilant, especially in a foreign land.

meanwhile, this blog will be on a hiatus for about a month but i'll tryyy and update twitter/facebook if i manage to get a phone plan that lets me do those things.

brb guys, wanderlust taking over ;)
*grabs and plants wet kiss*

M W A H !

five.

1.
i miss shisha.
and i miss emkay, who is my ONLY friend who is able to get high with me from inhaling flavoured tobacco.
seriously, she and i would be clutching our heads because we would be so, so spun out while the rest is chill as fuck.
weird, but we must do doing something right! :D

2.
my legs hurt from running :*(
i up-ped my workout duration to 40 minutes (normally, 20 minutes) the last couple of weeks and i'm planning on going for one hour this week but first day only - and i'm already in pain.
i'm not sore or anything like that (hello adaptation, you're doing a good job) but my achilles tendon feels like it's about to snap into pieces whenever i stretch.
not good.

3.
"i care and have always loved you."

can't say that that didn't put a smile on my face :)

4.
my healthy eating regimen shall resume after my crazy menses are over.
i ate an entire jar of peanut butter; yeah fuck you PMS.

5.
mama and papa wong called today which is worth noting down, because we normally BBM or email each other.
so i got my dose of lecture and nagging from the both of them, they were even taking turns going back and forth and would occasionally go: "oh wait give me the phone i got something else to tell da" to each other -__-"

to be drilled into my conscience:
"no drugs in amsterdam."
"text everyday."
"don't spend so much."
"text everyday."
"please go easy on the drinking."
"text everyday."
"keep your stuff with you at all times."
"text EVERYDAY. email when you can."

i am quite convinced they have interpol on speed dial if i am out of touch for just one day.

my turn:

"calm down when u see the credit card bill."
"calm down if i don't call/text/email/insert form of mass communication here on the first day. with jet lag, getting our bearings and trying to find a european sim card, getting in touch will take at least one day."
"just RELAX."
"i will text everyday." (x100)

parentals will be parentals :)
and i love them so very dearly!

hola july.

JULY. already!

i am perpetually amazed and equally afraid at how quickly time flies.

hellooooo those of you who are still here! :)
it has been a good 2 or 3 weeks ago that my exams ended and needless to say, them books are ditched for good ;)
lily was the first among us to leave for her hanoi volunteering project so we all went out for dinner and tapas&sangria (3 liters of it whoopwhoop) before she went to the airport 4 hours later. haha.



the people i see most often; much love ladies!
from seeing her everyday without fail during swot vac to not seeing her for 3 months (!!!) sucks pretty bad.
missing you lily! x

meanwhile, the quest for a hot bod is ever ongoing...
lemme tell ya it's hard and it does take all my willpower to put on my exercise clothes and get out of the house for 30 minutes worth of cardio every single day.
did i mention it's smack in the middle of winter goodness right now -__-" getting out into the cold is doubly hard knowing that i can be toasty warm indoors with my heater cranked up.
alas, i want a toned body more than i want to stay warm so i just suck it up.

let's not forget about bodypump.
bodypump 82 is a killer, i always feel like i need a wheelchair after no thanks to jump lunges.
they're quite possibly the most painful routine, EVER.

E U R O P E....

is a good 12 days away :)

mama is getting more and more freaked out at the thought of me jetting off to another continent for 50 odd days so she sent me a list of details i have to provide her.
i also have to email/text her as often as i can and call at least once a week.
she's also making me watch some human trafficking movie to instill some fear in me and that i should always be careful and vigilant.

i feel so loved up :D

this trip was planned since last year and all that counting down from 7 months to 6 months then 1 and we're now down to less than 2 weeks - again, it emphasizes the magnitude of the first paragraph in this entry.
what makes it really sink in though, is the fact that we've received our pre departure packs and the ironing out the logistics which is such a pain in the you know where.
call us crazy but on top of the 17 countries included in the tour, we're squeezing in czech republic at the end, then wrapping it up spanish style, in ibiza first then madrid.

that shit cray.

til then lovers, see ya'll on the flipside!
