Retreat With AQUA







So last weekend I went on a retreat with organization AQUA...A support group for Gay, bi, trans, Asian and Pacific Islanders...Now I've never been on a retreat before so I didn't know what to expect. It was a retreat for a weekend to Santa Cruz...they had a cook that made some of the best filipino food...and just food in general ever. The house we stayed in was right on the beach...and there was about 18 of us total...I had the time of my LIFE, and definitely met some of the best people that I've ever come across.

This is a picture of my "Family" during the retreat..."ANTB...America's Next Top and/or Bottoms"

This is all of us who came to the retreat...The actual backyard of the house as well. Right above the grass you can see the water.



One of the final workshops each family had to choose one member to "lyp sinc for their lives" to Lady Gaga's song "telephone". I was selected...we were only given limited supplies and 20 minutes to prepare our outfits and performances....it was one FIERCE competition. (This is the messiest Daphyne will EVER look in her life)



All in all I had the time of my life...I know it sounds Cliche' but it was a life changing experience....ANTB...DO YOU WANNA BE ON TOP...or BOTTOM?!?! hahahahaha

My Birthday Week....FINALLY over.



I am so over my birthday.
It has definitely been a lot of fun and such an adventure especially since I didn't even really plan anything big like I usually do. I ended up just having a last minute brunch, a few last minute outings, and a random bonfire. A big bunch of last minute randomness can wear you out, but I had a lot of fun.

So I'm finally open to dating again without judging men and there alter motives.... and there is one person in particular that I'm really intrested in dating. We've "hung out" a few times at random but haven't really date dated yet, BUT we are TRYING to make plans...unfortunately we both have busy schedules this week and next week (I'll be going on a retreat which I'll tell you more about later).

Other than that living by the beach has been amazing...work has turned into "Stanley's next top Associate," which I'll love to get into later as well....

But with all that being said... The age of 23 has started off really interesting at a rapid pace. I've heard it's a good age...22 was a little fast a lot of fun, but had a little bit of too much going on at one time...we'll see how this goes.
