Hi!
Sorry for the lack of updates. January kicked in and with it, I have been very busy having to finish grades, apply for grad school (crosses fingers) and making letters for my “executive assistant” stint with PUPianLifestyle.
In case you missed out, I have a ~srs~ blog over here.
I also updated my Goodreads widget which can be found at the sidebar. Challenged myself to another 50...

Posting this because I want these days remembered
In bullets
Met with Cess, Kin, Myk, Maq and Alyssa to see Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story
In some parts, I think that Jorge Estregan is actually cute. In most parts, though, I think he is wrong to play a 27-year old Asiong Salonga
What I liked most about Manila Kingpin: It is a Pinoy Action film with a story, sans the leather jackets.

Consumerism Christmas
It’s the season of giving once again and to save you from having to guess what I want this Christmas, I am sharing with you my Christmas wishlist.
1. Functional bag. My idea of a functional bag is something that will let me bring my netbook without my bag having to feel too heavy. Right now, I have to wear backpack when going to work just so I can bring my netbook and I do not like wearing...

Things to be thankful for, Cebu edition.
Recently, I came home from an out-of-town trip to Cebu with my classmates from Accountancy. Just so you know, I was originally an Accountancy student but, life happened and it got me shifting to Education.
I lived in Cebu for almost three years but I never got the chance to go back until recently. While there, I can’t help but notice how much has changed—I seem foreign in Cebu. LOL.

Of transitive and intransitive verbs
I am currently looking for a part-time job because I am in need of extra income. Not that my salary is not enough, it’s just that, I need extra because I am aiming for a lot of things and achieving them requires money.
Earlier today, I went to an interview for a part-time job as an online English teacher. I was not prepared for the interview at all—I rushed my resume, I did not know...

Earlier today, our topic in Health was about Fertilization. In one of my classes, I asked my students when is the (ideal) time to start having sex. I was appalled by the answers that I got.
Some of them were:
[when you’re] 18!
19!
“Pag may trabaho na!”
After menstruation!
These students are first year high school students. Around 12-13 years old. Although, one student was...

Oh, September.
How time flies fast. I remember my January, the start of the year, when I have been battling out emotions and nursing my pride. A couple of months later, I still faced the same dilemma but this time, I found the courage and motivation to resolve it.
What happened recently (on top of other things): This person assumed that I am someone of poor character.
Since I vowed never again to write blog...

Retail Therapy
Today is the third day of the long weekend and since I need something new to break my routinary life, I met with my awesomest friends in the world. The plan was to meet and decide on what to do with the rest of the day—we ended up going to TriNoma to catch TeamManila’s Holiday Sale.
I didn’t plan on buying anything but the shirts were cheap and I love MNL (who doesn’t?)....

Last Friday morning, I received my Pottermore e-mail. I was slightly shrieking whilst checking my e-mail at school; shrieking because I cannot contain my excitement, slightly because I am the only person in the workplace who is acquainted with such things as Pottermore.
I initially checked the insides of Pottermore at work but our work PC is like a machine that runs on charcoal, so I decided to...

What have I done to you?
If someone is to ask you, “What have I done to you?”, in the context that this someone has greatly affected the person that you are today, who is that person and what will be your answer?

August
So, August is my birthday month and I am quite excited because I decided to pursue my plan on going in a Birthday Climb (!) with friends. I wanted to do this for a long time and it would be a good birthday gift if the universe is going to be in my favor. I hope that there will be no last-minute apprehensions because this opportunity may not present itself again.
Anyways, the past months have been...

On Being Brave Enough To Start Again →
And yet: wanting is not the same as having, and you let them all pass by you and around you, like wind whipping against your ankles. Your heart is still and safe.

Going on a retreat
Things not to forget when going on a vacation or in my case, going on a retreat
Toiletries
Camera
A notebook and a pen
iPod
A book
Charger/s or Batteries
Wallet
Passport/IDs
Of course, the list will vary depending on the person’s personality. As for me, I need to have a camera, a notebook & a pen, and an iPod when I travel, because these things helps me appreciate the place I am...

These are trying times.
Yesterday, my mother came home at noon and was rushing. It was unexpected as it was a Saturday, she has work every Saturday. Then she said, “Si Papa mo inatake sa CDO.” “Your father had a heart attack at CDO.” At first I was in denial thinking maybe it was just a heartburn, not a heart attack. But my mother confirmed that it is a heart attack.
I somehow knew that my father...

To The One Who Broke Her Heart →
She may not be able to tell you how it hurt, she may still be blaming herself for a million things that aren’t her fault, but know that it’s true. Know that you took someone who was willing to put their faith in others and taught them to be wary and cold. Know that one day, she will find someone who loves her the way she deserves to be loved, and she will have the kind of happiness she deserves....

How To Tell If Somebody Loves You →
Somebody loves you if they don’t mind the quiet. They don’t mind running errands with you or cleaning your apartment while blasting some annoying music. There’s no pressure, no need to fill the silences. You know how with some of your friends there needs to be some sort of activity for you to hang out? You don’t feel comfortable just shooting the shit and watching bad...

You have your mother's eyes.
I never expected to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 on the first day of its screening. I knew I will watch it on the big screen, but never did I think I will see it on the first day.
So imagine my happiness when one of my good friends, Maq of PUPianLifestyle, after some serious coercing, finally gave in and gave us (me and Cess) tickets to the HP7.2 screening.
We met Maq at...

Okay. Quick update.
Work has been pretty demanding lately. I have not been sleeping for at least 8 hours, I lost two kilos since work started, and I barely have time for leisure! What sucks more is that, re-runs of HIMYM on Star World are not being shown anymore at their usual timeslot (1800 hours) so, my only chance of de-stressing after a hard day’s work is now gone—and replaced by...

Bad weather? What bad weather?
What transpired yesterday, in bullets.
Met with Cess and Kin with the original intention of claiming the diploma (although deep inside I know alumni can’t claim diplomas on a Saturday)
Claimed my Alumni ID instead
Took pictures in front of the Main Building (someone has yet to upload the pics)
Ate PUP burger (nom nom nom)
Sat down at the first floor lobby
Drank cheap coffee (ILY, The...
