  • Whoops

    I accidentally became sick. Fever and coughs, baby.  Productivity to the benefit of myself is therefore a staggering zero. No pictures, because who’d like to see my shining red eyes. ?

  • College Life Part Something

    Well hello.  Today is a Tuesday. I suppose. Many things have happened, will happen and are happening (though the latter is a bit more questionable, logically, since anything else can’t be happening if I’m here typing away).  First to merit a mention is debate, which I am in a love-chase-hate-spurn relationship right now, if that makes…

  • Productivity Level — Fluctuating

    If I had to describe my productivity level today (and for the last few days), I’d say it was –as the post title suggests– fluctuating. Irregular. Highly frustrating. Exhibit A: I’ve just woken up from taking a two-hour nap, and ahead of me looms the idea of washing  up (a necessity), eating dinner (also a…

  • During College Feels

    They whisper, as if it’s a well-worn horror story, the word:  “College.”  And you might gasp out: YES! (for all the parties, the forgiving schedule, the orgs, the boys, the opportunities). Or NO! (for the pressures, the burden, the heartache and late nights). But mostly you might say I DON’T KNOW? (because you don’t know…

  • Awkward

  • Before College Feels (Part I?)

    Called the Unknown The seed which must grow Will first leave the sower’s hands To brave the tempest, … HELLO.  So far my “preparation” for college has involved house-hunting, enrollment and supply (singular) buying. I AM EXCITED to fail my first test. Apparently the subjects are all challenging, and the course itself is a tough road…

  • BOOKS/COMICS/WOAH

    Isn’t this just exciting? :)  Also, I finally finished reading Huxley’s Brave New World. After several months, the case of a missing book, donating to the library and finding a Php 60.oo copy in Booksale, I have finally reached its end.  Once again, a dystopian classic depressed me. I will ‘revisit’ (get it?) it in…

  • My life tonight.

    Ehem. So. First: This morning, my brother and I dropped Ate Risa off to a bus station in Pasay. She’s staying in Bicol for eight days, taking a needed break from the hassle of our house and at the same time leaving me all alone to fend off dust bunnies, scrounge for food and the…

    The best thing about Singapore (is everything)

    Our tour through Singapore took four jam-packed days.
