First impressions

4:03:00 PM / BY melissaungco
Since it's almost a year since I left for Greece, here are some unpublished pictures from the trip. These were a few of those I first took since I landed. You can say they hold my first impressions of the place. I even took the time to take pictures of what I was first eating. (LOL SORRY) but needless to say, Greece is beautiful. Sure there are other European countries, but there will be always...

Life Lately #4

3:31:00 PM / BY melissaungco
It's been a while since I've written something on the blog. I will be honest with you, ever since my hiatus, it's becoming harder to write here. My friends know I'm on a love-hate relationship with blogging. Love because it's a free space for me to document random thoughts and happenings in my life and well, hate because I sometimes question the authenticity of it all. Am I still writing for me or because someone...

I don't need an AIESECer boyfriend, I just need you

10:00:00 AM / BY melissaungco
One of my frustrations this year was being so invested in an organization while having a boyfriend who wasn't (yep, Jan is a non-AIESECer!) People actually keep asking me bakit hindi siya sumali but through out the year I realize that he didnt have to -  When elected as LC VP (Local Committee Vice President) for BD (Business Development) last year, I did not have to ask for his support. He already knew it was...

PLAYING TOURIST: MANILA

11:04:00 PM / BY melissaungco
It was a few days before class started when Jan and I decided to go around Manila. Since he's from the south - Laguna - he has never been around Manila. Add on the fact that I've never been around it too even if I live in it. Needless to say, our trip was interesting - we still got lost as we just took a bus and walked from one place to another. LOL For...

50 BLOG POST IDEAS FOR THE UNINSPIRED

9:21:00 PM / BY melissaungco
Getting stuck in the rut for blogging is normal. I think all bloggers go through it - even big time bloggers! However, like the saying "the show must go on", blogging must go on too! Every time I find myself uninspired, I usually go through my blog and read my old posts (I even try not to edit them as well- lol at young me writing HAHA). It's a good way of looking back and seeing...
