MussoLOLen is Always Right! |

On Friday afternoon, Ale took me to the beach because I had never seen the Pacific Ocean from this side of the world before. He brought with him his readings because he has midterms on Monday; I brought with me a thermos filled with Malibu and Coke.

When my mom reported that San Francisco was even colder than Chicago and Missouri, I braced myself for gray, gloomy skies and biting cold winds. The last thing I expected was to be greeted every morning with a bright, almost-tropical sun and cloudless blue skies.

The sun felt so good on my skin, I couldn’t resist taking off my shirt even though all I had underneath was a bra pretending to be a bikini top. I never thought I’d ever walk around shirtless in this part of the world.

And if you think I actually sipped my coconutty cocktail like a good little girl and left Ale to his studies on such a gorgeous Friday afternoon at the beach, you’re completely wrong.

We ended up walking, talking, drinking, maybe arguing a little about whose side he belongs to in the ongoing Philippine-Korean War.*

Before we left, we tried taking a romantic kissy photo with the sun between us, but because I suck at holding cameras we completely failed.

Not that it made the day any less lovely. <3

* Don’t bother looking up the Philippine-Korean war in the newspapers because it’s such a small, private event, it only affects the lives of three people (me being one of them, on the Philippine side of course). That does not necessarily make it less destructive for those involved. Perhaps I’ll tell you all about it sometime.
