Blognote #16: {07/29/2014}

I have just sixteen days left before I settle in at my dorm and I am a bundle of nerves and excitement. I think I will most likely be settling in there on my own, since my mother will be busy with a convention in Cebu, and right now I'm just hoping that I'll be all right without my mother's supervision. There is a probability that my room is haunted but the whole dorm is notorious for its creepy stories and the students' alarming (and eerie) encounters inside its walls which has led me to the wise decision that I am never taking a shower or going to the communal bathroom/restroom all alone. I'll be living with three roommates plus I'm right next to Kathleen's room (she's Room 28 and I'm Room 29) and Anne Mary's and Manuela's rooms are also located in the same wing as ours so I have that to be grateful for. I've also started segregating my clothes and I think I might have underestimated the amount of shirts and jeans that I have bought because I think I'm going to have a hard time fitting them all in just one suitcase and a knapsack along with the other necessities I have to bring with me. I'll go back home after three weeks though so I think I'll just bring enough for the amount of time in between.

On another note, I spent last Friday night with Julienne & Janina! Moreover, I also went to Gourmandz to celebrate Anne Mary's 17th birthday and afterwards, we had a sleepover at her house!! (≧◡≦) 

I met up with these two cuties at Starbucks

Forever using Jongin's stage name when ordering drinks because:

1. I'm too lazy to spell out my name and

2. I really really like it when they call his name and I'm the one who stands up to get my drink under his name ... MUCH DELUSIONAL I know (✿◠‿◠)

3. This is irrelevant but I'm just gonna confess right now that I buy most of my wallets from the children's section in department stores because JUST LOOK AT THAT CUTE TOTORO WALLET

More photos under the cut!

I baked rather large cookies for us hehe

I'm here at Anne Mary's house with Manuela for a sleepover because we're catching the first trip at 6 a.m to Iloilo tomorrow. We're going back to our future uni for the nth time because we're submitting requirements for the admission slip so this is just a heads-up that I won't be back until Tuesday.

Also, I got myself a new SHINee baller yayyyyy

Hello, I managed to cram all the things that I had to accomplish in one day and I felt so productive last night! Despite our hectic schedule, my mother and I still got on the last boat trip home and successfully had dinner at 7 p.m before we went home. The interview went fairly well and I'm pleased with how I did. I got to make a handful of new friends as well which is somewhat of a feat considering my tendency to close myself off people I'm not really comfortable with. It's time to step out of my comfort zone though. I'm not a little girl anymore.

Also, I am screaming in my head right now because fatalfangirl reblogged my ask reply text post thing about kaisoo and I am in near hysterics because I love her fics and I was just reading Syndicate last night. "This is really cute and basically my headcanon, bless you" BLESS YOU TOO ;____;

Under the cut are some photos from when I was out swimming with friends!  (all from Joy's iTouch)

I'm back from the wilderness! Sort of wilderness!! My mother took me to a place where there were bugs and lakes and earth everywhere and despite my scabs from the insect bites, I freaking loved it. The place I went to was approximately 270 km away from home and 8 hours via car ride. My poor butt suffered a lot of bumpy, rocky roads to reach Lake Balanan but everything was worth it because damn, all I could hear were animal sounds and all my my eyes could see were trees! Basically, my mother's surprise was nice and even though I'm tired as hell right now, I'm still really grateful.

We stayed there overnight at one of the rooms situated on a hilltop. The view of the lake from our room's balcony was breathtaking and I was sad to go but I'll be posting photos from the trip once I get my proper bearings again.

Oh, right. Right. Bythewayit'smybirthdaytoday and I'm currently reading birthday greetings + messages and trying not to cry (looking at you Julienne, Janina, and Joy) ((you guys had the worst and best messages)) (((I love you all))).

Also!!! Here is the collage that Julienne made for my birthday.
When you see it.....

Cookie's Birthday Post ♡♡♡

One of my sweetest friends, Rhea whom we also fondly call Cookie, celebrated her birthday with us at Peri-Peri last Monday! This post will be filled with photos from said celebration and I have Joy to thank for them (LOVE YOU SO MUCH THANKS FOR PUTTING UP WITH ME)

 Rhea's so cute let me squish her huhuhuhu

Graduation 2014

I'll just be dumping a bunch of photos because I'm still focused on the yearbook but when my mind finally starts functioning again, I'll make an announcement about S.K.Y.

I am currently busy with life so for now, I'll bore/entertain you with random photos of me with my friends ^___^

trying to learn the art of not giving a fuck until i realize that i've been trying for a long time now and i always end up on the losing end. my art always ends up in the trash. i am never enough. i always disappoint. i can never be truly myself even with the people who are supposed to understand. and i'm getting sick and tired of pretending. sick and tired of trying to paste on smiles when all i want to do is frown and cry and be miserable. this sounds so cliche i want to outright vomit on myself but sometimes the truth is disgusting.

on a happier note, i got my hair cut again and it's the shortest it's ever been plus i bought a furry jacket on impulse. photos under the cut.

christmas gifts + chilling with the best friend

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone. I love all your gifts huhu ♥♥♥

Squealed in utter delight. Thank you, Iah!!!

These are just a bunch of random snapshots with no definite dates. The past few weeks, my files have been all over the place due to schoolwork and my mind going haywire. 

 I finally got the Sparkling issue with SHINee and EXO on the front and back covers! For free!!! (thank you, I don't know your name but bless your kind, considerate heart). Unfortunately, I still think Sparkling is incompetent (Sehun's not the tallest member, okay? u___u). Makes me want to work for them when I grow up and straighten some things out (((I kid))). Oh, and Happy Birthday to Frog Prince Minho!!! YOU WERE ONLY SIXTEEN WHEN I FIRST LAID EYES ON YOU HOW ARE ALREADY 23???

Baby oranges!!!!!!! (I know they're not actually called baby oranges but it's just fun to call them little babies OwO)

Hello, friends, I got another haircut! This time, without my mother's full consent!! But I had my friends with me!!! My brother still doesn't know!!!! I am fucking scared!!!!!

but #yolo

I actually had this photo of Jongin saved on my phone and I showed it to the hairdresser before he started cutting my hair. Only difference is that I swept my bangs to the side in the photos above but in real life, my bangs are the same with Jongin's.

This is my fourth haircut in the span of eight months. Can't stop, won't stop.

Blognote #11: {11/08/13}

Happy Birthday, Darla!!! (I was supposed to post this yesterday but just when I was about to click 'Publish', the electricity went down, thus the date up there is still 11/08/13)

I got woken up by a tree crashing to the ground today. Not exactly a pretty sound to wake up to and one of the letdowns of living right next to a forest. There's a storm signal #3 typhoon raging outside and Mom still keeps on pestering me about her Facebook game requests that I adamantly refused and ignored. Oh, mother. To be honest, when I said I wanted a break, the strongest typhoon ever recorded in history wasn't what I had in mind. I just wanted life to stop for me. It seems that the world works in strange and uncanny ways though because when I asked for a break during Junior year, a typhoon also happened and classes were suspended for two days as well. I've seen photos and videos around the Internet about the mass destruction that Typhoon Yolanda has caused and it's times like these when I feel like it's a sin to be so safe and well-protected when a lot of other people are suffering the consequences of a natural calamity. I feel sick to my stomach in all honesty. Please pray for those who have been badly affected by the super typhoon. They need it :(

In other news, all I've done yesterday and today is roll around on my bed reading fics and writing poems.

Cupcakes + Carnival Rides

Last Wednesday, two of my friends went here (here as in my house) and we mainly just sat around and talked and jammed to EXO and made fun of their pre-debut photos (well, I was laughing, they were cringing lmao) but we also got around to baking cupcakes and going to the carnival that's a five-minute tricycle ride from my house. Oh, we also filmed a vlog and I'm still debating whether to post it or not.

The funny thing is that they kind of surprised me. Wait, surprise is an understatement. Joy knows where my house is located because she's already been here a couple of times in the past so I told her the night before to call me once they're already near so I could freshen up and get ready. Around 9 a.m., Joy still hadn't called me and I was beginning to think they got lost or something so I just laid around on my bed, complaining about rainbow hair, until it was almost 9:30 and I was like, "Ah, fuck it. I'm gonna go take a bath." So I went to the bathroom and just as I was about to step inside the shower, my cellphone rang and when I picked it up, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE OUTSIDE THE GATES OF MY HOUSE ALREADY. I ended up screaming at them.

"best dog in the world" -their words

with the best friends

so proud KC conquered her fear of dogs! she even said that my dog's the only canine she's not afraid of d'aaaww
