portrait of a girl

The last party I've been to was Lorry's in August, so I guess I was getting lazy to dress up for the occasion. I actually had second thoughts in joining the debut, but I decided to go. Why? Viel is one of the best people I know. (♡＾▽＾♡) It wouldn't feel right to not be there. SADLY, I didn't have a gift prepared, since I never went out anymore. I spent my days bed ridden, watching television.  (¬‿¬)  It's a sad life, kids. Anyways, I just took a simple black dress, put on some heels and went over to Page's to get my haggard face colored. Cathy was already there, claiming that she's prepared herself for the debut since noon. Make up followed, more chit chat until we finally journeyed to Marco Hotel for the party. Sir Alger took the time to drop Page, Cathy, Shane and me there. Penda was there by the front desk already. She was like so early. She also surprised me with a gift! So sweet!  (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)  I haven't even got her one.  We struggled as we wa...

I finally finished the challenge, so I guess I shall talk about our Christmas! Every year on December 24th, our family gets together to spend Christmas eve. We all stay at our Grandma's house, bringing gifts for each other. （*＾ワ＾*) ! My cousins and I were going to exchange gifts like we always did when we were younger. The adults don't usually take part. They only give when they feel like it, unlike ours. I had bought a gift for the youngest member of the family yet! SHH. I bought him a helicopter toy. I hope he likes it! We still had the over-the-top dinner. Each of my aunties and uncles brought food, and we just eat them all together! There were a lot more healthier food since the adults are becoming even more self conscious than they were before. （＞ｙ＜）We had the usual rounds of picture taking too. As you can see, we're not the kids we were before!  When we were younger, the grown ups used to hold kiddie games for us after dinner. Now that we'r...

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...

24. A letter to your parents Dear MAMA AND PAPA, I LOVE YOU! ❤ I don't know what else to say cause we pretty much talk everyday! And Hey! That kinda rhymed. Anyways, the likelihood of you ever reading this is very very small so I probably won't write anything too heartfelt. Mama you be crazy, maybe crazier than me! Thank you for your never ending support and random out bursts like " LET'S GO TO CEBU FOR ONE DAY ! ". When I asked you why, you just said ' I'M BORED '. Guess the randomness runs in the family. It keeps life exciting at home. I appreciate everything you do! Thank you for reading between the lines when I say ' MA . EVERYTHING IS SO EXPENSIVE AT SCHOOOL ~ ' Boom! Additional 20. Not much, but we can work on that . JOKING! Thank you so much for everything! I should probably say sorry for all the things I've done, but I'd rather do that in person than here. I WILL SHOWER YOU WITH LOVE AND AFFECTION MORE AND MORE...

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...

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...

11. Another picture of you and your friends I will skip post 11 because it's basically the same with the previous post ( making up lost time ). I don't have any other pictures and I don't feel like uploading the older ones. 12 . How you found out about Blogger and why you made one So, I found out about blogger from my friend Penda . She kept talking about blog posts, and I couldn't quite understand what she was talking about. In the end, I checked her blog after a few more conversations about the blog. There was just no making sense until I saw it for myself. It was interesting, but not that interesting to get me started. I already had a google account by then, so it was easy for me to keep track. I started  blogging  because everyone that mattered was doing it. I wanted to be able to follow their posts easily, without having to be the anonymous  comment-er . Basically, that's it. I have no intention of profiting from the internet since my posts ar...

6. Favorite super hero and why Ever since I could remember, I only liked one superhero. I didn’t like Superman, or Batman, or Spiderman or any other superhero. I thought they were cool, but I didn’t really get attached to them. I only liked Captain America, the First Avenger. He couldn’t fly, he couldn’t shoot death beams, but I always thought he was the neatest one. No. I didn’t start liking him because the latest movie had an extremely hot actor. I actually saw the previous Captain America movie, when he was buried in the snow and people discovered him. It was an old film, and I could only remember bits of it. I didn’t start liking him because of the Avengers Movie, no matter how amazing it was. 1990 at the left. 2011 at the right There was a PC game that we always used to play when we were younger, Capcom vs Marvel. That was the first time I saw (or rather, used) him my whole life. His BLUE outfit, with the pretty stars, immediately attracted me. Plus, I won when I use...

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...

3. A picture of you and your friends I'll start with the newly made friends, down to the friends I've had the longest. I'll just name them in groups, so that it wouldn't be too troublesome. First off, my Chemistry buddies, or the 'Chemers', as they call us few aspiring chemists. Here is the latest adventure I've had with them study bugs. Community Building From the left is Hannah (purple shirt), Nouvelle (short hair), Jerlyn (darker purple shirt), Jedil (one beside me with long hair), Kimberly (wearing the head band), Camille (covered partially by Kim), and Karylle (tied hair) These are the ladies of the Chemistry Sophomores. The men (Joshua and Marjiam) could not join us, so whatever. It's their loss, and it was sort of lonely without them. Mapawa was such a great place to unwind and bond with the whole community. I should probably talk about that event more in a different post. These people are one of the sweetest, most sensitive and dea...

Last Wednesday, I only had PE Class the whole day. 9:00-12:00 in the morning. Sure, it isn't early but. . I was still late. I was so late (around ten already!), so our teacher didn't allow me to join in anymore. It's a good thing that they were only practicing, and that there was no practical exam. BLARGH. Sports are definitely not my thing.（￣ー￣）Anyways, I GM-ed, asking people if they were free. As per usual, Fido replied first, then Angel after a few more hours. . and then no one else. Wasn't shocking for Penda not to reply, seeing that a Nursing student's schedule is incredibly mind blowing. In Lorry's case, I got used to her not replying at all. In the end, I had a lunch date with Fido at KFC, since it was the closest place to Domain. ♪ヽ( ⌒o⌒)人(⌒-⌒ ) ♪ La la la ~ We had chicken, and made it swim in deliciously thick gravy. Ahh . Yum yum gravy (︶▽︶) ~ We stayed there for about an hour, while we waited for Angel to join us. Jhio came to join us for a whil...
