Beach and Belly Fat

I'm so fat. :( This was taken last Monday at Virgin Beach in Laiya, Batangas. This was the first time I went to the beach as the person responsible for almost everything. I have no money left :( That freaking beach resort was frakking expensive! 680 per person and 1350 for the parasol/place plus 10% service charge and 12% VAT. I also brought my sister and Juzie brought her brother.

The four-hour drive to the place wasn't that hard but the drive back was triply hard on me. We drove back at twilight so the fading light made everything hard to see. Also, Juzie's car was heavily tinted and the roads from Laiya until SLEX (even the Batangas Star Tollway) weren't lighted so I had a hard time seeing beyond maybe 50 feet.

The beach was fun if expensive and hard to get to.

The Philippine Graphic/Fiction Awards Volume 1

It's brilliant! Beautiful! There's even a story set in my hometown of Dumaguete.

A blurb at the back states:

"A powerful spacecraft fuelled by Kris Aquino's limitless gossip, is sent to an asteroid on a mission to save the world."

That's what made me buy the book.

I'm about halfway through. There is so much talent in this single book I wonder why Filipinos aren't at the top hundred lists of art, literature and every single aspect of creativity.

On a side note: I love the paper used in the book. I think it's vellum, like the ones used in good magazines.

Another side note: fuelled. Is that how it's actually spelled? It looked really weird for me.
