Awkward
When I was younger, I failed at making friends. Well, not in the sense that I didn’t actually have any, but more in the sense that I had very few of them, and most of them were also books. So. I grew up a little and became secretly awkward. I am very good in making “business” friends…

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.

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.

It is so dry –even the rain, which rebelliously and sporadically comes even this season, is not helpful at all. The ground is wet, but the atmosphere remains NOT…

Happy Thoughts
Happiness. My music playlists are getting more awesome (awesomer?) by the second. Lalala. Two new playlists perfect for studying, drawing, exercising and daydreaming: Super Soundtrack! (from the OST/ST of Marvel movies like First Class, First Avenger, Iron Man and The Avengers) and I AM LOCKED! (from the brilliant OST of Sherlock BBC). Happy happyyyy. Happiness.…

Little Wonderlands
first I am officially a graduate (though I obviously am not free of certain clutches). I’d like to thank my mom (who has spent and will spend [Singapore, darling, we’ll see each other soon] a disproportionate amount for my graduation, my sister (who has assigned herself a #StageAte, which is true), my brother (who is…
