"Cheers and Chug, Drink and Dance"

I went to the beach yesterday with almost everyone in my program.

Boy, was it nice :)

It was a terrific break I needed (which is to just GET OUT OF THE GOD FORSAKEN HOUSE)

Sidenote:
If you read my last post, you would've realized that I was SUPER unenthusiastic. It was cause I was feeling ABSOLUTELY homesick. Plus, I was feeling frustrated and caved in cause of my host mom who seems to ALWAYS be in my business. Don't get me wrong, I'm still super homesick. But its getting better cause I'm not always in the house, feeling all depressed and shit. Instead, I'm chilling with people from my program which helps so much.

SO ANYWAY

I went to the beach with the people from my program...

Boy, was it filled with topless women. HAHA. It was interesting. Though it didn't feel as surprising as I thought it would be. I think its the お風呂 (ofuro=public bath) experience that I had in Japan where everyone (everyone being the ladies who were there they divide the baths according to gender) HAS to be BUTT NAKED to go in.

It was nice cause I got to chill with the BCA (my program) mates and learn a little bit more about them :)

Jackie. :) I was giving her a hand massage :) 

We found a cute little cafe that served some really good drinks for a reasonable price :) T'was REAAALLL goooood. 

Then after dinner and our showers, we headed out on a search for Tapas. 

The Sangria that the group got. They got 2 jugs to share. I had none of course ;)
*bangga giler*

"Mama" Steph. I slept on her lap :) 

HEHE I was TIRED :) 

Afterwards, we went and got McDonald's. Which was kinda nice :) Cause we were all CRAVING it. :) 

LOOK! :) Their menu looks SOOOO yum :) 

After McDonald's, me and Jackie went home and got up early for church. I just wanted to see how church services are cause I'm not Christian. It was interesting haha :) 

But look what was before us! 

Gaudi's Sagrada Familia :D

Isn't it just AWESOME? :) It is located near the church we attended. :) 

Once is more than enough. I don't think I'll go back again :) hehe.

In general, I'm feeling so much better than I was. But I won't lie, I'm still quite homesick. 

Things will get better, I know it will. It will. It will. 

España

Good gracious.

I'm not very good at keeping up with my blog now am I...

No.. I'm horrible. -.-

So, an update on my life in Spain so far.

I arrived safe and sound at my mom's place and a couple of days after, my program brought us all to two places.

First stop,

we looked at lots of historical places and analyzed the buildings.
I learned sooo much on the trip about the architecture and the influences from the different centuries.

my hotel roommate, Jackie.

2nd stop, Burgos.

La Catedral de Burgos

The inside of it.

Me and Sammy Sam

Last and final stop (which was only for lunch)

Zaragoza

It was immensely beautiful.

I loved the trip.

Now I'm back in Barcelona and it is absolutely crazy. Classes have already started and its hustle and bustle. I probably will be busy and won't update as much. 

Sidenote: I apologize for the boring commentary. I am not in the best of moods right now. I am absolutely homesick and am not in the best blogging mode. So I really apologize. But I thought that I could at least let you guys see what I've been seeing. The rest of the photos are in facebook. I took like almost 700 pictures I think... Soo.... enjoy!
