portrait of a girl

After Viel's Debut, I ended up back in our house. Vacations are the only time I can really rest, since my course requires mind blowing efforts. Like any normal teenager, I was on the internet a lot. I spent time with my cousins goofing around. I watched television. I went out with my family to watch movies (The Strangers is a respectable enough film). Basically, everything was smooth. The highlights of the rest of the days were: New Year's Eve Celebration and GATB Meet-up/First Day of School/ Thursday Madness. I will talk about all that in this post, to make up for my extended disappearance in the blogging community. NEW YEARS EVE Remember when I said that our family liked to celebrate every holiday together at my Grandma's? Well, obviously New Year's Eve was no exception. This time, we didn't have gifts in hand. However, we had our pouches ready. We were getting ready for-- I'll talk about that later. We bought food to share, and so did everyone else in t...

25. What I would find in your bag ❥ALL in one notebook It’s a binder with all my notes for Calculus, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science. My Chemistry notes is different though. Chemistry be demanding that way. It's been with me since the first semester, and it has all my random ideas and doodles at the back. ❥ONE working pen in the midst of a handful of used ones. I guess I’m too lazy to throw away the pens I can no longer use. I should probably clear it out soon, since it’s such a pain to look for the one working pen. I wouldn't want to panic if we suddenly have a surprise quiz. ❥BARELY working and THANKFULLY SOLAR calculator. I don’t have to explain. Do you know how difficult it is to sit directly under the sunlight just so your calculator won’t die on you in the middle of an impossible quiz? Trust me. The pain just BURNS through. ❥BOOKS for every subject. I used to think that college meant that I would no longer be carrying books ins...

18.  Plans/dreams/goals you have I don't like to plan so far ahead. They often don't happen the way I pictured them to be. But for the sake of this challenge, I'll just have to think of some. I want to graduate Chemistry, within four years. I don't want to prolong my stay in Uni, but I think my thesis will definitely hold me back like the other super seniors. After that, I could probably look for a stable job. AND THEN I WOULD HAVE MY OWN LABORATORY LIKE DEXTER! It has to be in my house, and it has to be huge! It has to have a complete list of chemicals I can use, and the laboratory apparatus needed! I guess that's partly why I wanted to become a chemist. IT WOULD BE AWESOME to have my PERSONAL LABORATORY. I want to invent something, experiment on something, discover something new with my own hands. I guess I want to be  able to control something, and be able to manipulate it in ways I want it to act. It's like playing around, but being paid i...

8 . Short term goals for this month and why Pass the Physics chapter exam and other preliminary exams- I didn't do well in the first chapter exam, since I barely passed. This time, I plan to hit back hard with my books. I need to do better with my studies, since the second semester is always the worst. Do not receive any mark below B in Chemistry - I have a B- exam result, and I won't settle for anything less than a B. I know I can do better if I just bring myself to study. Stupid laziness thing. Not to mention the fact that 60% is the passing for Chemistry majors. Stupid high standards Save enough for decent gifts and up coming tour - Simple. It's a day of giving, and not receiving. Plus, the Chemtour is approaching! I need to save enough to have pocket money for the tour. It's embarrassing to always depend and ask for money from my parents. Be more AWESOME. Do not make a fool of yourself, but don't be a sour grape - Surely this is self explanatory. I d...

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...

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! START: ♥ post 01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself ♥ post 02- The meaning behind your Blogger name ♥ post 03- A picture of you and your friends ♥ post 04- A habit that you wish you didn’t have ♥ post 05- A picture of somewhere you’ve been to ♥ post 06- Favorite super hero and why ♥ post 07- A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you ♥ post 08- Short term goals for this month and why ♥ post 09- Something you’re proud of...

I've never had insomnia before. Usually, I get knocked out the moment I get on my bed. Or, maybe it's not insomnia. Maybe I'm just having a hard time trying to sleep. Either way. . I'm bored. So for the mean time, I shall type just about all the random things going on my mind. First is. . I want pretty layouts. Somebody make me a pretty layout, and I will love you forever! I dislike my layout, because I liked the previous one with clouds and calendars. The problem with the previous layouts is that people can't comment. I don't know ANYTHING about codes and all those techy words, so I would be utterly lost if I even tried. Believe me, I would've tried if I knew where to start. Tutorials aren't helping, because it's too outdated. It's very annoying, thus I had to sacrifice it's prettiness. /WEEP Second is. . Tomorrow is my grandmother's 70th birthday! Hooray! I am so excited, because I don't have any plans for tomorrow. I bet ...
