Happy Christmas :)
Excuse my face. :))
Christmas, inevitably, doesn't feel the same as it did before. At least for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy it's Christmas, I am joyous that we may celebrate it and, of course, the true reason for this season. It just doesn't excite me like it used to. Perhaps it's because we didn't have a block Christmas party like we'd always have a Christmas party when I was still in high school. Maybe it's because I was too stressed when the -ber months started. I don't really know for sure. But rest assured that I wish you all a happy and festive Christmas! I still love the Christmas season even if I didn't feel the spirit right away. :))
Sorry if my posts have been short and boring, I've been busy going out, bumming around, hanging out with friends, and the like. I really have to provide more time for my blog though.
And what's a Christmas post without some Christmas music? I present to you some Death Cab For Cutie, Wavves and Best Coast. :)
Lemme throw in some Weezer too.

chants and cheers, taunts and jeers
In the things I do to try and help, all I've ever wanted was consideration. So often it feels like you're the only one who cares, plus a few others, but that can be discouraging at times. In my few years of existence I've made so many mistakes of being careless and of being, possibly, too selfish and ignorant. I've also made the mistake of caring too much. Realizing these instances in my life, I tried to change things. I'm proud to say I can see that I've improved myself, though mistakes are still made. I still slip up, numerous times even. I still care too much. I still become careless. But I take note, I remind myself.
Why am I making a post about these things? Well, I don't really know. My Christmas break has just started and I am absolutely happy that I can take a break from all the school-related stress. But a few things still bother me. I know I shouldn't be worried as much or feeling as responsible, but I can't help it that I feel this way. Perhaps I just got so used to taking responsibility, at home, at my high school before. I'm used to being the ate. I know this part of my life is a completely different ball game, but I genuinely care for people who make me happy, who care for me as I care for them. Sometimes even if they don't care as much back, I still care for them. Nakakabuwiset, nakakatanga, nakakadagdag lang sa problema, pero ganun talaga.
Perhaps this is too much of a martyr's philosophy. But from what I see, people care much more about the trivial things, with what they want to say, buy and do, that they forget to consider the others around them. I know we can't ask everybody to change this about themselves, but I'm afraid people have forgotten to think and feel for anybody other than themselves. I'm not saying that I've perfected that aspect of myself. I know I have my selfish tendencies, sometimes I forget and actually want to forget to care about others. I hate feeling so responsible, but this is how I am, this is how I act, think, feel and function. Perhaps people will tell me to fuck off for being this way, that it's my problem not theirs. Yeah, I might say I can agree. I do care too much at times, that's always been the disease of my personality. It's been more often than not the root of my problems. I might be going overboard on my observation, I know that my position is not something so unique, but fuck off, I need this outlet.
And now I've only just wondered, does growing up really mean feeling even more responsible for things, and for your actions and decisions? Is this what's happening? 'Cause it isn't as wonderful as people wish growing up to be at times.
Or is it just me again?

Most of the time, people never really understand your motive for doing things. They never really stop to think of the reasons why you're doing what you're doing. In fact, they never really care that much, do they?In the things I do to try and help, all I've ever wanted was consideration. So often it feels like you're the only one who cares, plus a few others, but that can be discouraging at times.

hiding in plain sight, waiting and wanting to be found
Somewhere in my convoluted, immature mind, I was insecure. I looked around me and saw how everyone else seemed to be better off, while I felt like I was on the edge of the shadows. I wanted to gather some form of attention or recognition, in some way I don't even know now. Of course, I look back now and realize how stupid I was and how I would have probably slapped my "then" self with some sense and shout at her to grow some freakin' backbone, for God's sake. But in my young and insecure self, unrestrained thoughts flowed much more freely and expressed themselves in ways I can no longer emulate today. That part I truly miss.
I hate to admit it, but sometimes I miss those younger days. Sometimes I miss being so ignorant. Sometimes. I am thankful and blessed with where I am now and with what I have found and discovered that I have in my life. It's just that sometimes, I miss having that unrestrained outlet of emotions. I can't explain how it was in a concrete view, but to put it in a way, it seems a switch is now turned off in my head.
I don't know how many times I've mentioned this "dilemma" of mine on this blog already, but there are times it just makes me wonder what happened in my head. At times I wonder, is this what it's like to "grow up"? Do we really slowly lose a grasp of our sense of wonder? Does growing up have to feel like this, like we lost something along the way? 'Cause that's how it feels sometimes.
Now I can't help but wonder what else I might lose long the way.

It used to be that I could form paragraph upon paragraph of words with so much meaning and emotion. I don't suppose it was a talent, by which case I would still have it now if it were. I guess I was just much more emotional when I was a few years younger, more dramatic in my perspective. I was much less inhibited in the way I poured out my emotions and my ideas. Somehow now though, I can admit, I was trying to catch attention.Somewhere in my convoluted, immature mind, I was insecure.

Constant Conversations
A lot of things have happened in the last two weeks that I was away from my blog. My life has been quite stressful (but still happy on the side :D). I've been mostly busy with my academics. But really, when I think about the last two weeks, I don't even know what I really did. It's all such a blur. I blame lack of sleep and water consumption (no jokes here).

Borrowed Jak's Kikomachine Komix collection. This is one of the things that have been helping me relax and get rid of stress. :) Rakenrol!
Another thing keeping me from going insane over all the academic stress I am going through is, of course, music. :) i've been listening to a lot of Passion Pit lately. My love for their sound was just resurrected because of their song Constant Conversations. Here is the St. Lucia remix that I love too:
But anyway, just last week, something sad and unfortunate happened. The mom of one of my best friends passed away last Wednesday. I don't have a lot to say about it right now, but Myka did mention it in her two previous posts here and here.
Well, just thought to update a bit here. I hope I'll get to post more in the duration of our long weekend. :)

it's only just begun...
So, this is what I've been up to lately, more or less. More on the less side though. I've been more busy with school related stuff than I make it obvious. We have upcoming reports, running assignments, long tests, exams and quizzes to study for, events to take note of, org responsibilities, and more. Of course, you can add weather related problems to the stress I'm experiencing, as the weather has been quite stormy lately. But the upside of that is it raises the chances of class suspensions. You would not want to commute in Manila in rainy weather at all.
Right now, I should be studying for a long test on History this coming Monday, plus I should be working on a write up as part of my application for my org's newspaper. I also have other org work that I have to pass on Monday. But here I am, blogging away, turning away from my responsibilities. What can I say, old habits just really die hard...
P.S. First photo is from Celine, the second one is from Jen, and the fourth one is from Pauline. The rest are mine. :)

Last Saturday in Bon Appetea and also had a spontaneous foodtrip with Shinji and Pauline!
With Jeck and Myka on a shuttle ride home together. :)
Last Wednesday. After classes got suspended, I went to MOA with my brother, Myka, and her blockmate, Gertie. Afterwards, I met up with Pam and Shinji and we had a Bon Appetea date. :)

Saturday Snapshots #4: Singin' in the Rain
Saturday, July 21, 2012
I love the rain, I honestly do. Even if most people find it gloomy, I find it soothing.
Although I wasn't necessarily singing in the rain when I had to endure walking through flooded streets along Taft, Padre Faura, and Pedro Gil (on different occasions though).
The first time it happened, my uncle picked me up from school (although we were still commuting). He brought my slippers, so I was able to spare my sneakers the trauma. Although I know walking through the flood was disgusting, it was better than destroying my shoes(shoe lover, you can't blame me). The flood I walked in was kind of ok, since it wasn't from the first downpour (Which would have obviously dislodged all the filth in Manila) Still, dirty and disgusting business. I wasn't that annoyed though, in fact, I found it funny. I experienced walking the the flood for the first time! Haha, experience is experience.
Now, these photos were from the day that I had to walk through the flood in Manila for the second time. I believe this was last Friday. My favorite pair of shoes drowned fully and I was terribly pissed. How could I not be, when earlier it was incredibly bright and hot, and then all of a sudden, the storm came in?
My brother and I caught a bus by 7:30pm (there were barely any vehicles passing in the southbound lane). Thankfully it was empty and u-turned in front us.

When I had calmed down and got bored, I brought out my camera from my bag and started taking pictures of the rain and the flood.
I was on the verge of being very pessimistic then, but by the end of the day I thought to myself "What would I gain by being pessimistic? What do I gain by complaining?" Of course, the answer is nothing, except bad thoughts and more complaints. Since I always try to be optimistic nowadays (one of the better changes I've gone through) I decided to just call it another experience. Plus, it's another anecdote I can share. :))

"Time is the fire in which we burn."
Last July 5, Thursday, was my best friend Myka's birthday. She didn't have anything special planned for her special day, but that didn't really hinder any of us from having a little bit of fun.
On the day of her birthday, Myka and I were to meet at her school, where I would pick her up. she intentionally cut her last class so we could see each other. Unfortunately, I picked her up a bit late since I had an org related event to attend.But anyway, when I got there, we decided to hang around the University Mall for a while before catching a shuttle home together.

I have no idea why, but I just seem to do wacky faces impulsively. :P
Time just seems to fly very quickly. I didn't realize we'd grow up so fast. Or maybe I was just too busy having fun everyday to care.

Just a short update. I'm sorry for my two previous posts. Well, not really, but they were rather moody. If you should know, I tend to get like that at times. That's just how I process, I guess. But I feel a lot better this week, for real! :) A lot has been happening, but I'll make a whole post about my first few weeks in college this weekend. :)

sing me to sleep...
So, today marks the end of my first two weeks in college. I know I said I would blog about it, but I am not in the right kind of mood for it yet.
Lately, I've been feeling very introverted. I just want to be somewhere quiet all of the time, think, and be alone. But being with my new found college friends prevents me from doing those things. I'm not saying I blame them, it's just that it is a bit difficult to be quiet and alone all of the time without seeming anti-social, and I don't want to seem that way. Besides, a part of adjusting to college life is making new friends and forming new bonds.
But, the introvert in me is a bit exhausted by all the socializing involved. Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with my new college buddies, and we have a lot of laughs and conversations with each other (I'll share these stories sometime soon hopefully. :D). Heck, I'm even enjoying meeting the upperclassmen of our course! Like I've mentioned, they are all fun, friendly and funny! But being the introvert that I am, I crave for times where I can just be alone and not seem anti-social or "emo".
Also, I don't think I'm that comfortable in my new environment yet. Coming from a school where I've basically spent all my life feeling at home in and then being thrust into a completely different environment isn't exactly pure bliss. I don't find it hard to adjust. I guess I'm still trying to get a better feel of our campus.
Basically, I'm just exhausted--physically and mentally--from all the adjusting I've been doing. It will all get better, that I am sure of. But right now, let me be exhausted.

once, i was young and reckless
Let me elaborate. I think I need to explain it to myself more than to the person reading this though.
I look back and remember all the things I heard and all the things I felt. Sometimes it was all just heavy and sad and worried and paranoid, but somehow, that was the right path to take. I wrote the best things back then, stories and poems. Although I never shared all of them, they were the best things to ever come out of my brain. That was part of my freedom then, and I never really understood it. And through all that, I found myself and everything just came into place and shaped me to be who I am today...

It's funny how I've never felt freer than I do now. But then I remember what I was like in the past, and I realize I was somehow free too, back then. I just didn't know it. It doesn't make sense, but somehow in my head, it does.Let me elaborate. I think I need to explain it to myself more than to the person reading this though.

How long does happiness last?
For the past week or so, I've been very happy. Very. Happy. You may wonder, if I'm so happy, why is it unusual? It's unusual simply because I've never been this kind of happy, the kind of happy that feels content, peaceful and blessed. Like nothing could go wrong, or at least if anything did, it wouldn't matter.
At first I was scared of being so happy. I was scared that it would only be temporary, that it would come at a price. I was paranoid that some universal force would ask for something in return. It's happened to me before, so I can't shake it off. I'm trying to though, and it's been working. I feel happy and positive everyday. And everyday, something good and almost unexpected happens. It's all fine and wonderful, but it's so weird! For me at least.
I've never felt this blessed before. Somehow, through everything that's happened lately, I feel my faith getting firmer everyday. I'm not as religious as most people I know, but I still believe. I may have my own interpretations of a few things, but I'm still holding strong to my faith. I'm content and grounded. I'm happy because everyone else around me is happy too.
There's not much to post about here, I just wanted to at least mark this time and remember it. Who knows how long this feeling will last? All I can do is live it day by day. I'm glad I developed my "Be Positive!" attitude, I don't know what I would've done without it.
Well, good night. :)
P.S. Thank for the Kreativ Blogger award, Denise! As of now, I am still weeping from the joy and shock, so I'll post about it next time. :'))
P.P.S. I've been planning a little makeover for my blog, so if you ever encounter it looking wonky, I'm just trying to fix it up. ;)

que sera, sera
I've been quite "busy" I suppose, spending time with friends, with family, and by myself. Also, I've been busy with college enrollment and other requirements. It's been quite a surreal and fun experience. Finally, I've seen our campus and felt it around a bit. After all, UP Manila will be my home for the next four years (when all goes well of course, I'm sure it'll be hard work). Oh, and I've met my blockmates! I honestly feel like I'm lucky to be blockmates with a group of seemingly friendly and humorous people! :D We're slowly becoming a family. :))
Anyway, I'm glad I'm starting to get a bit busy already. At first, I was kind of overwhelmed by the whole idea of finally entering college. I started to get paranoid, thinking "how in the world will I do this?" and "how the hell will I fit in?". That went on for two days until I just finally told myself to chill the eff out and just do it. Now, I'm extremely excited to enter college! Still a tad bit nervous of course, but I'm feeling positive vibes.
I guess I might post a number of posts for the rest of the week so I can properly relate what I've been up to. Some music posts, nail art posts ('cause I'm not over it yet), and probably a whole post about how AWESOME and EPIC BBC's Sherlock TV series is. I'm still having a hangover from it's epic-ness after finishing seasons 1 and 2. If you've watched it and loved it, then you probably know what I'm feeling now. If you haven't, give it a shot! You don't even have to read the original stories (although it would make it even better if you did) as it is a contemporary adaptation.

Pre-Graduation Jitters
Wednesday, March 28, 2012
"A short post about how nervous and excited I am about graduation, as well as an insight on how much I'll miss high school and my Seniors family."
Well, the day has finally arrived; Graduation. I was supposed to make a post later after I get home from the ceremony, or even tomorrow after tonight's family celebration, which also happens to include my aunt's birthday. But I just can't help it.
If the thought of it was bittersweet before, right now the feelings are very, very bittersweet. It's the day I've been waiting for so long, even though it's the day that I have to say goodbye to my second family.
Everybody says it, and I'll say it again because it's true; it seems like only yesterday we stepped into our freshman year, so unsure yet excited. Time flies so fast all the years fade together into the most precious memories I'll treasure. Sophomore year and junior year were some of the best. In fact, highschool has been the most amazing experience so far in my life. Though right now, I can only remember the good stuff. I am the person I am today because of all the good and bad things I've gone through. All the stress and the pressure, the expectations and apprehensions, all the laughter and the tears. They've all come together in a slideshow of memories in my head.
It sounds all dramatic, I know, but how can I not be dramatic?
Well, now that all that is out of my system for the time being, I'll leave you until my next dramatic post. ;) :))

Yup, this is quite a late post. Just a few photos from our graduation pictorial last March 5 that I wanted to share. Myka has already blogged about it here.
After our pictorial, me and a few of my friends went to eat out at ChicBoy and just hang out at BF. :)

Another addition to our last high school memories. I hope college won't mess up our schedules too badly so we can still hang out. No matter how doubtful that might be, I'm still hoping. :))
Graduation is just four days away from now. :)

I was tagged by Denise! Seriously, I didn't expect to be tagged. So imagine my surprise when I saw my name. I was like:
So thanks Denise, I feel so quality right now. :))
So, the task is "to say 11 things about yourself and answer my questions provided below. You should do the same by providing 11 questions and tagging others as well." Seems easy enough. But then again, I always seem to find it difficult to say something about myself. Anyway, Challenge Accepted.

"If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all."
- Oscar Wilde
The beauty of art and of literature really has a way of
capturing me.When I see a beautiful image, a work of art that moves me, it’s
almost as if my heart would break. It seems dramatic, yes, but it is true for
every piece of art that touches my heart. I can’t explain it to the utmost
point of how it makes me feel, the desire to know every inch of that piece of
art, to see the story within it. It almost feels like love, seeing something so
moving.
There have only been a few stories that have really
gotten through to my core. Something deeper than just fancy words and
descriptions. Though I do admit that these pull me into a story, nothing pulls
me in better than really knowing the character, feeling the story. I love
stories that make me think, that make me wonder “Why?” These are the stories
that leave me speechless and silently begging for more. Even if I’ve gone
through these stories numerous times, I want nothing more than to do it all
over again, to try and feel more than just the pages within my fingertips.
One would
think it almost obsessive. One can only be obsessed with something they can’t
get enough of. And it is true; I can never seem to get enough of the beauty of
art, of literature, and even of human nature, because truly, these all pique my
interest. I thirst for knowledge on it all, the curious nature of which they
come about to entrance us. What is it about these things that make my mind tick
and my heart race; that make me curiouser and curiouser?
