Guess who's having fun? Of course, it's none other than Vera Sthan Aebram, just like what I put on my bucket list. We did it all in May.

I'm just a little bit late updating all the happenings because it was our final exam in the second semester last week. All in all, it went well; my scores are in good shape.

But the highlight of today's diary is having my good days the whole month of May, which I wasn't able to apply for the whole month of this June because of my final exam, but hey, at least our final exams are already done, and guess what? We had the whole month of July as our vacation; the class will resume by August, and it will not only resume by August, but we will resume face-to-face.

Finally, through my second year, it will no longer be online, but we are also advised that it might be a hybrid for safety precautions, but at least, right? I will be able to see all my friends and classmates now, face to face.

My only problem is I had to look for my dorm because Mapua is miles away from our place.

I had to move out. It will be a tough decision, but for my future, I need to do this. My family was also ready for that, given the distance from our home to Mapua. I just hope my routine will not be monotonous once I move out. I'll take time to study each place around Quezon City, and I also have my classmates who will for sure help me out.

But for now, I want to skip that. I will focus on my vacation first because I also have someone I talked to regarding the apartment that I will move out with if ever the government will let people have face-to-face transactions or classes.

The apartment was within walking distance from Mapua and some malls where I could buy groceries and necessities, which is a great spot for everything. I will just re-contact that person and tell her which date I will move out.

I plan to move out by the last 3 days of July to make sure I make the most out of time with my family because I know I can only go home every semestral break once it's a face-to-face setup.

Actually, before writing this diary, I made another bucket list, mainly for my family and me. I decided to put the words "beach vacation" first on my bucket list, next is a movie marathon, and lastly is a food trip/picnic with them.

We had a great spot in our backyard, which is full of trees and plants, and we sometimes put chairs and tables there to have a picnic. Sometimes we refer to that place as "eating out" funnily and sarcastically whenever my sister tells my parents that we should eat out.

If you're not used to my family, you'll probably think they're joking all the time.My family isn't that rich, and not in poverty as well; we're just in between.

We can sometimes afford to eat in restaurants and have beach vacations or just simply road trips. But sometimes we can't, and we can only afford to "eat out" in our backyard, which is more than enough to be thankful for, because not everyone gets to experience such things like that.

Also, we're used to both life statuses, that super-rich status and super-poor status, because when we're kids, we're not that rich.

We also experienced living a simple life in the province.

My parents just worked hard to build their empire from their humble beginnings in the province, which I am looking up to, and hopefully, I will be able to apply in the future.
