Ohh-wesome Orange



After semester 1 ended, i moved back to Mosman, where my relatives live, for the winter break. and now that im at the middle of my coldest summer ever experience, i haven't done anything, BUT.... run.

you see, 9 weeks ago, i've decided to join the 14km city to surf fun run this coming August, assuming that i was as fit as i left Manila. well, i havent been really running or doing any form of exercise ever since i arrived from New Zealand. Anyway, as the break started, i have been trying to run so that i can somehow finish the fun run. so yeah, running and just literally being a bum.


except for the fact that i went to the countryside of Australia for the weekend. a town called ORANGE. my friends and i (from IH) stayed over at Laura Hayman's home. (Thank you Hayman family for adopting 5 silly girls over the weekend). 

even though it was a 3 hour train ride and a 2 hour bus ride from Sydney, it was all worth it. we ended up seeing all sorts of things around Orange and watched the miniseries of Pride and Prejudice, screamed Mr. Darcy's name the whole time and watched other Colin Firth movies. haha Annette cooked bacon for the first time, had a lunch picnic at the park, and went up to the highest mountain. we also met Laura's brother who looked like Ron Weasley and made him say, "Bloody Hell!" haha we also went to a vineyard, while they had their first wine tasting, i was a very good... watcher, because i might get an allergic attack from it. 

but the best and most memorable part of the trip was when we did tons of failed jump shots after our picnic and people just started climbing trees, and only the scandinavians were able to do it. Yuka, my japanese friend, tried but failed and ended up hanging on a branch with her butt sticking out. haha it was super funny! 

 SO YEAH, IT WAS AN OH-WESOME ORANGE EXPERIENCE! : )
