I'm Erika, fourteen and an asian/australian! (Australasian? xD), and I live by this one simple quote I came across when reading a book 3 months ago: "Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today"
I don't want to be someone who sits at home all day studying or locking themselves in their room to 'get away from it all'. I'm the type of girl who wants to get out and have fun! That's why my Gaia Journal Entries are filled with exciting things in my life! I hope you enjoy reading the crazy, wacky, and maybe somewhat weird, journal entries!
Big thanks to all my besties who make my life totally awesome! smile )
Fiesta de Lechon!!
HELLLOO~~~!!!! Howz it going?? Well right now, im on my summer vacation for 2 whole months!!! And its 10:31pm and night!
Ok well i was supposed to type this journal entry about...*counts fingers* 4 days ago!!! So i'm going to start NOW!
Aiight! The Fiesta de Lechon (or the festival of lechon) was held in Balayan (i think..), Batangas; which was a 2-3 hour drive from our house. SO we had to get up at freakin' 5AM!! because if we didn't get there in time, then the roads will close and it'll be a loonnggg time before we'll get to batangas. SO we met up with our cousins at 6am. and drove allll ttheee waaayyy thheerreee. NOW since the Fiesta de Lechon is celebrated on the same day as the Feast of John the Baptist (yes, im a catholic!) then the tradition for the locals in Batangas is to...(guess what?)

Chuck water at the passing CARS!!!!! HAHA!! It was FREAKING awesome!! all these kids were chucking water at us, other cars, and motorcyclists!

After some time we got stuck in MAJOR traffic. And we were only 10 minutes from our destination. So, our cousin requested we get out of the car and walk there, while the parents stay in the car. Most of us agreed! (except for Nick, my brother XD)
You know how i said they chuck water at cars?? well, they chuck water and people too! so as soon as me, my cousins Tonio, Carrie, Andie and Biboy got out of the car...
SPLASHH!!!!!!!!!
A guy in the back of a truck threw a bucket full of water at us!
So the WHOLE way to the house, people come to us with water guns, bottles of water and even BEER!! and throw water at us, OR pour it down our backs!
So All-in-all it was AWESOME!!!

We're SO gonna do that next year!!!!!

Till next time!!! Adios!!
