portrait of a girl

This second semester is proving to be more brutal then the one I had as a freshman. Not only are the subjects more challenging, they are also very demanding. I am running out of coping mechanisms, so I will use this post as an outlet. Perhaps, I will be able to get a better grip. That is why I will dedicate this post with all the happy thoughts I can think of. I will not talk about school. I will not talk about my struggle with faith or religion at the moment. Instead of lashing out like a wild animal, I'll try to emit positive vibes. This moment is my happy corner, and I'M GOING TO MAKE IT ONE VERY SMILE INDUCING POST. Well, I'll try to at least. I owe my battered self that much! I'll start off with Neverland. Why? It's because I haven't got many years left in my youthful days. I just turned eighteen. That shouldn't be such a big deal, but it is. I guess it's nice to think of Neverland in times like this. Running off with the lost boys, playing arou...

30. Who are you Who am I? I dislike asking myself this question now, because my mind tends to go blank. It’s not because I have no vision on who I truly am, but because these words will not be enough to capture the ‘I’. The easiest and most convenient answer would be me. ‘I am me’ is what most simply say to avoid further explanation. However, I feel that there’s the need to give more credit to my existence than just a two-lettered word.  I was a spontaneous and reckless youth. I do things head on without thinking of consequences. I have implanted in myself that I have to live as if I will die the next day. I was chasing every moment. It didn’t matter if it was worth it, because I just felt the need to. Now, I have become someone who is cautious. I learned to think about things more thoroughly, ending with little regret. Then again,  I actually don’t believe that life is merely a set of right decisions after careful deliberation of the consequences. It is not at all app...

27. Why are you doing this 30 post challenge The answer to that is because I was simply bored. I also don't have many things to talk about in my blog so I resorted to this petty challenge that makes you post thirty different challenges. I guess it's also a way for me to know my friends more, and heck! I get to know myself more. To put it more simply once more, I did this because I was bored.

21. A picture of something that makes you happy A lot of people comment on my ability to be happy over the simplest of things. People always point this out, and it no longer surprises me. However, I don't think there is one definite thing that makes me happy. Random things make me happy. I get happy over all the little things, though my high cheeks might have something to do with my face always seeming to be smiling. Anyways, the challenge requires me pictures so. . Here we go! Self explanatory Desserts! Sweet random messages that show they care Books that take me to another world! Starry nights One Direction or any other cheesy songs CUTE PUPPEEEHHS! Disney or any other fairy tale love stories <3 Friendships! Sincere compliments AND SO MUCH MORE! C: SO HAPPY ! ~

17 . Someone you would want to switch lives with for one post and why Someone I would want to switch lives for one post? Can we change that into one day? I guess it would have to be any boy. I don't have anyone specific in mind (I'm actually thinking of Obama, though) Just not Fido, because I know him too well already. I would like to know how they  live their daily lives (Ahem. Daily Lives of High School Boys) . It would be a completely awesome experience, to switch lives for one day with any random boy. A boy, who is  preferably , not a druggie. But meh. Given the chance, I'll gladly grab anything. Again with the Obama. It was just a sudden thought. Nothing but curiosity  I wouldn't like to switch, but I think it would be a great experience to be him for a day. It's just not for me, though. I don't have the leadership skills to last a minute of it. It makes me wonder how he manages to keep America on its foot, when it's practically ...

15 . Put your iPod on shuffle: First 10 songs that play Kiss Me Again - We are the In Crowd It's been awhile since I've felt butterflies. Do you feel the same way too? If every single second could last that much longer. Would you hold me? Speak now - Taylor Swift Don’t say "Yes", run away now, I’ll meet you when you’re out of the church at the back door. No Surprise - Daughtry It's no surprise. I won't be here tomorrow I can't believe that I stayed 'til today There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow There's nothing here in this soul left to save Gotta Be You - One Direction Can we fall one more time? Stop the tape and rewind Oh and if you walk away I know I’ll fade ‘Cause there is nobody else Truly Madly Deeply - One Direction Truly, madly, deeply, I am Foolishly, completely falling And somehow you kicked all my walls in So baby, say you’ll always keep me Truly, madly, crazy, deeply in love with...

I am not into boxing. Er. Well, maybe I am a little. I just like it when they are really beating each other into a pulp part. It gives me adrenaline, and I can't help but punch the air along. I blame the fact that I am constantly with male companions. Anyways, that's not my point. Today is Pacquiao-Marquez 4 (and my lovely tita's birthday!). I watched the previous three fights, and I've got to say that it's always pretty close. Pacquiao barely won two out of three. This time, the fourth time, Marquez got his game on. Serious stuff happening in that ring. Oh! Funny thing. Mexico's singer for the National Anthem had no voice. She was barely making out the words. It was pretty fun to listen to her as she tries to reach the high notes. Back to the topic! The fight started pretty good. The two of them were not letting the other land a punch. It's always a hit for a hit. It was amazing, because it didn't have many dull moments (My fault for watching cow...

December must be one of my favorite months of the year. It's cold, which means more hot choco in the morning. Mm. I like hot choco, and warm hugs. The title doesn't really say much about this post, but I really like the song. I like it's gloomy, love-lost atmosphere. Anyways, I decided to make a post that isn't a challenge post. Everyone's posting a bit of themselves and their every day life so I guess it's time that I update you all as well. It's December 8, but I'll start my story in the beginning, December 1. December 1 was the last day of Xavier Days. I didn't attend because I was being the lazy bum that I am. I was supposed to be at our organization's exhibit and meet with the high school buddies. I felt partly guilty, but I don't think people would hate me just because of that. Anyways, I had to attend a birthday in the evening. In the day though, I just downloaded fun movies including Bokura Ga Ita. Hm. To s...

the GRAND OPENING of THURSDAY MADNESS Last Thursday, we had the first of our many Thursday Madness. First stop was Greenwich, Limketkai Center. The chosen specialty dish was Ultimate Hawaiian Overload! Fido wanted the 12'' one, so I kinda went along with it even if I kinda wanted the one with chicken. Hm. There is something wrong with me and chickens lately. We had that and a pitcher of cold ice tea. I'm sure the cashier was shocked that it would only be the two of us dining. Here is the boy after ordering the pizza. As you can see, he's a little bit too excited for it. AHA! The 12'' pizza arrives, and I gotta admit that I thought it would be bigger. With the pizza comes the iced tea ! This is how a slice of overload looks like. It looks yummier in person, but the camera doesn't want to capture its cheesy essence. It looks very dry here. Fido just finished putting our first slice. Being the innate gentleman that he is, he pu...

4. A habit that you wish you didn't have Procrastinating. I guess that's my bad habit. It can be a good thing because we all need time to gather our thoughts, and have a clear mind. Sometimes, it's just an excuse to avoid doing the important stuff. Sadly, I have the negative kind of procrastination. I over procrastinate, and waste time doing all the useless stuff I shouldn't prioritize. I always think that I can do them all tomorrow/later, but in the end I still don't do it. It's the most common phrase people say.  Sometimes I say I can't concentrate/can't do it good at the moment. But, then seriously! No one can do anything perfectly. Haha. Somehow, I always come up with ranging from good to vague excuses to convince myself. . to not do anything. I seriously need to get over this bad habit soon, and get my butt up and moving. It's annoying because procrastinating becomes easy for me, and that would become a harder habit to break. ...

1. A recent picture of your self and 15 interesting facts about you  ♀ On my way to Mapawa Nature Park with the Chemistry Community ❥ I like to contradict myself, and constantly challenge my own decisions and beliefs. Why? Because you get to discover yourself in a different point of view. And also because our Philosophy teacher says its nice to doubt yourself, and only be sure that you're doubting. ❥ Speaking of weight, I try so hard to gain weight. Although many people get annoyed with this, but I truly do want to gain weight. It's annoying when people don't believe me when I say this. I'm not trying to fish compliments about my skinny body. ❥ I love to daydream about random prince charmings that sweep me off my feet with grand gestures of affection. I had a dream about this one charming that proposed VIA billboard sign on Valentine's Day. Talk about exaggerated. ❥ I imagine myself singing a duet in songs with male singers. It's fun, and you sho...

Since I'm a newbie, I just found this challenge. Or more like, searched it because I was incredibly bored. It's supposed to be a 30 DAY CHALLENGE, but that's highly impossible for any Chemistry sophomore. (；￣Д￣） Actually, I should probably spend less time on the Internet now that the second semester is starting. UGH. Second semesters are the worst. Anyways, I decided to make it a 30 POST CHALLENGE ABOUT MEE . ヾ（*⌒ヮ⌒*）ゞ YAY! Before I get ahead of myself, here's the list!
