What was your most memorable summer trip?
Arra: โMy most recent Sorsogon trip with my friends! Ang dami namin tapos nasa coaster kami. Sa coaster pa lang, wala akong tulog nun tapos lahat kami whoo party-party lang kami dun sa loob.โ
Lindsay: โFor me, itโs when we went to Surigao because thereโs a lot of nice beaches there and we went diving also. We also went to this place called Britania Islands to do island hopping and it was really nice there! I met a lot of new people, people who became very important to me.โ
Arra San Agustin
Mikee: โWhen I went to Europe with my whole family! We filled up a whole bus actually because we came with some friends too. Tapos we went city hopping, and the first stop was Paris, then Florence, Venice, Milan, and the last stop was Rome. Tapos before going back to Manila, nagpunta pa kami sa Dubai, tapos we did this thing from Sex and the City, yung ginawa nila na nagpunta sila ng sand dunes tapos nagdadrive. I rode a camel for the first time!โ
Klea: โNung biglaang nagpunta kami ng family ko sa Coron, Palawan. 3 days and 2 nights lang, tapos sobrang bitin kasi kailangan ko na ding umuwi kasi kinabukasan debut ko na! Ganun kastress na parang ang late na tapos pag-uwi ko pa dito sa Manila, may work pa ako.โ
