  • Pens and Pencils: Botanical Hearts

    Featuring grainy pictures of ‘Wood you be my valentine?’, ‘Awkward stomate’ and ‘No effort was made’. Inspired by Bio 101 Plant Anatomy Classes.

  • Green and blue is for you and you

    MY COLOR IS MAROON, oh yeah. In a manner as subtle as a ten-wheeler cruising down a highway (meaning, not very subtly at all) I managed to taint my beautiful maroon blood with a dash of De La Salle green. That’s right. My family is probably shuddering in distaste (they all consider themselves pro-Ateneo and anti-La…

  • Intermission

    I’ve got so many topics queued up in my blog to-write roll; here’s a little self-involved breather. It’s (almost) Valentine’s Day! And as such, I’m going out with some college friends for a Valentine’s Eve dinner of some sort. However, it’s also Ash Wednesday, so I had to opt out of some bonding activities (i.e. going to…

  • (Un)Expected Things

    Well, hello again. #1 One Direction (It’s a new day when the first on my list is a British pop boy band.) I was helpless to resist. I was happily browsing through youtube, enjoying inadvisable amounts of the Ellen Show clips and live performances of Beyonce, when suddenly a “Best Moments” kind of video appeared…

  • For the love of something

  • Life imitating me

    in the sense that it is obviously a procrastinator as well. IT CRAMMED THE DEADLINE OF EVERY SINGLE REQUIREMENT/ TEST/ ACTIVITY/ PROJECT INTO THE SPACE OF A SCANT FEW DAYS. And then I am told to expect this of life every single year.  No. Just. Ugh.  Not to mention the fact that proving identities is…

  • Poetry: Unedited Freeform

    Sometimes we dream of really nice things,  And then we die.  Our body betrays us In the moments we least expect It hides from our hearts And says: We are our own. There are three things that can always be found in mass I have been all and both and some.  It’s very hard to…

  • Studying in Minutes

    Begin.  Hello. The time is 23:02, the day Thursday, and I have yet to study for two exams: a long test in Geology and a quiz in History. Both have heavy weight in my current academic career, and yet here I am about to cram it. The reason? I’m not really sure; maybe it was…
