Unending surprises.
After a long and happy day, I came home to find this on my couch.
Jake had this delivered to me today. I was totally not expecting it.
I can’t even describe how I felt when I saw all of this waiting for me at home. A dozen roses, a bear, and a letter from Jake:) I can’t think of a better way to end this perfect day.
Roses and a promise of being together soon.

You've got mail.
Today, a package from Norway came for me:D
It’s from Jaaaaake!!!! I’m so happy.
It’s a copy of The Hunger Games. I know it may not seem interesting at all to a lot of you since you’ve probably read it, but I haven’t yet. And, I’ve been wanting to read this book for such a long time, but it’s sold out NATIONWIDE in the Philippines. I literally went...

The good life.
I’ve always wanted a fabulous life—get invited to all the parties that celebrities get invited to, have free clothes sent to you by brands so you can advertise them, your name and face in newspapers and magazines.
I have this secret dream to be a socialite (well, not much of a secret anymore) and have the ‘good life.’ I guess I’m too influenced by Gossip...

Trying new things.
I went shopping today and bought some products I’ve never tried before, plus a new eyelash curler since mine is worn out.
Dry shampoo—this is something I’ve never actually tried yet. I was watching a Victoria’s Secret video when I came across ‘dry shampoo.’ I was like, “What the hell is dry shampoo?” For someone from the Philippines, dry shampoo...

writer's block.
Every writer’s frustration—I’ve been typing and retyping everything for the past two hours. Literally. I know what I want to write about, but I suddenly don’t know how to put them down in words. The idea is in my brain but it won’t send it to my fingers so I can type them down.
Ugh. I’m so frustrated!

Looking back
I used to doodle so much in my planner (this was the 2009 Starbucks panner)
I used to make drawings for every feeling that I had & I would write word-per-word conversations with people that mean a lot to me.
I would write/draw about the things that get me excited, like songs that I’ve discovered (i.e. Fireflies by Owl City—I heard the song on the radio on the way to...

Finally organizing my life.
As I said in my post last night, I joined the gym. Don’t laugh.
Today was my first day, and after an hour an a half of basic workouts, my arms felt like noodles. I think my legs should hurt too, but I think two years of going up and down the stairs to the 10th or 17th floor of Andrew Building got me used to leg exercises. Needless to say, it was a good work out.
The last time I worked...

Anti-dresscode: my reaction to the school's...
No matter how much I hate the school’s dress code, I don’t think I’ve ever intentionally violated it. But, seriously though, does the school really need to treat us like children?
Ok, I understand that it is a learning institution and that there are some clothes that really do seem inappropriate at times, such as tube tops and spaghetti strap halter tops, but I don’t...

Chill day for a Tuesday.
Normally, Tuesdays (and Fridays) are the most hectic days of the week for me. I have class from 9:40-11:10, then I’ve got a show at Green Giant FM wih DJ Miya from 11-1pm (but I go there right after my class, so the show doesn’t start at 11), then I’ve got a class from 1-2:30 and another one from 2:40-4:10. To top that off, all of these classes with little to nothing time...

Eat Thai, Love Thai...NOT!
Yesterday, my friends and I had plans to watch a movie directed by our very own former batch president, but things didn’t push through so we just had dinner instead. I’ve been craving Thai food for a while, and I have a certain favorite Thai restaurant. Unfortunately, the Mall of Asia didn’t have a branch, so we had to settle for something else.
Soi—‘Eat Thai, Love...

Spontaneity at its best.
They say that only spontaneous plans push through…so true.
I had plans to meet up with my best friend Anjenette after classes today, originally just to finally meet the new addition to her family, Basha (her evil puppy). While on the train, I had this sudden need to go shopping (certain events from this morning made me realize how much I need new clothes), so instead of just staying at her...

Wardrobe malfunction
This morning, I went to school early so I can have breakfast with my friends Bianca, Chukie, Dwight, and Coleen. I wore a pink maxi dress that had a sheer layer of cloth as the skirt…everyone kept passing glances at me, so I was thinking, “Hey, I must look good today.” Little did I know that I was parading my underwear for the whole world to see. My dress was a little more see...

Unending confusion.
After being in my program for almost two years, I still haven’t figured out what I’m gonna do with my degree after I graduate in a year and a half. I thought, hey what if I just stay in my course and just discover what I’m gonna do with it later on instead of going through the hassle of shifting to another major. Well, dumbass, wrong move, don’t you think? I guess...

Let the countdown begin.
I know I shouldn’t be counting, but holy shit, everything just feels so real and everything seems so near (and yet so far). Thirteen weeks just seems a lot quicker than 91 days, so I’ll settle for counting in weeks until the numbers are low enough for me to count in days.
There’s a lot to look forward to in 13 weeks—there’s the end of my second year in college, the...

World's top economies in 2050
(CNN) – The global research department of HSBC has released a report predicting the rise and fall of the world’s economies in the next 40 years.
The world’s top economy in 2050 will be China, followed by the United States. No surprises there – since China’s reforms in the 1980s, economists have said it’s not a question of if, but when, China’s collective economic might will top the U.S.
But...

Something personal.
Just a random story that just happened minutes ago.
After a very eventful and emotional night, after having cried for hours at end in my mother’s arms, a lot of words have been said and I thought I had meant them at the time. I finally calmed down and went downstairs to get a glass of water, when I heard a whisper of my name in my left ear. At first I thought it was my maid, who stayed at...

Back to reality.
The start of third term is a few hours away, and although I don’t start school until Thursday, I’ve been so anxious for classes to start. Third term is usually the longest, especially for DLSU students—while everyone else is having fun during their vacation, we still have about a month to go before we get our five week summer break. Honestly, I hate my schedule. Fine, I...

Understand.
Before you get yourself into a long distance relationship, understand that you will not be in the same city/country, that you will not be in the same time zone,that you will not be in each other’s arms until the next time you get to be together. Understand that you will have to settle for Skype and Oovo to see each each other, that you can’t just expect them to show up at your doorstep...

The Shadow of the Wind
My new year’s resolution was to stop my disgusting habit of nail-biting. Barely one day through the year and it’s already down the drain; I honestly thought I would have made it without putting as much as a finger in my mouth if not for the book I’ve been heavily engrossed with for the past day and a half.
I could hardly put down Carlos Ruiz Zafon’s novel. I would start...

Just a thought (another PMS blog)
They say the one who cares the least is the dominant one in the relationship.
I don’t get it. Isn’t care what make a relationship? Does it really matter who calls first, who texts first, who says I love you first, etc? Should pride really get in the way of your relationship and how you feel for someone? Personally, I think pride is too much. But then again, sometimes pride is good. I...

Every aching wound.
Sometimes, I wonder how I lasted ten months without Jake when I go crazy thinking about him for one second. I know I’ve been fine for the past couple of months, but I’m allowed to be sad when I miss him. I know four months is a short period of time for waiting compared to how long we’ve been apart, but man…what I’d do to have him with me. Even just for tonight.
I...

I feel bad for complaining about not having any presents under the Christmas tree when our countrymen in Mindanao don’t even have trees to put presents under. I’ve been complaining about how my uncles and aunts are so stingy when I have everything to be thankful for. I have food on my table, a bed to sleep on, clothes on my back, and this KitKat that I am eating now.
I wish them a...
