God, skinny bitches complaining about getting fat...
I think it’s really annoying. I mean, look at yourselves! Bones are sticking out of your body and yet you say that you are fat? I could accept it if you complain about gaining weight because that’s different from being fat. Sometimes, it’s actually healthier to put on a little bit of weight especially when they are underweight. But really, with legs just the size of my arms and...

I will always be a child.

Here it is. Another book review, millions of years after the previous one. Yes, I finally had the time to read John Green’s latest novel, The Fault in Our Stars. And I do want to brag a little bit about my copy being one of the first 150,000 copies published and signed by none other than the God of Nerds himself.
So to the story: This new book revolves around two cancer-trodden teenagers, Hazel...

Another month-long TVD hiatus.
Seriously? What the hell? If you guys keep doing this, I won’t be surprised if you get lesser viewers every time. Damn.

I don't know why, but I suddenly miss the Harry...
It’s just seven months after the release of the last film and yet, I miss it so bad. Maybe because I still cannot get over the fact that it’s really over. I mean, it’s never gonna be over for real, but the realization that there won’t be anymore to look forward to just breaks my heart. Oh well, I’ll just have a full movie marathon later.

Fantastic finds.
And our four-day long break had officially began. I was supposed to go straight home from my dorm but then my uncle was driving by the gate of our subdivision and saw me. I asked where he was going and he said that he’s off to the mall to get something for my baby cousin. He asked if I wanted to come and of course, I did. I would never miss a chance to go to a mall when there is a good...

Time for a reread.
Since there’s barely a month left before the movie is released, I think that it is timely for a reread of The Hunger Games trilogy. Since I am also deprived of reading fictional books, I would make use of our four-day break to finish all three books. I’m a quarter of the way with the first book and I must say, though I have read it twice before, I still am enjoying every bit of the...

The lobby of our dorm isn't a hotel room.
My roommate and I saw a couple at the corner of the dorm lobby making out. And not just pecking but a full-on french. Even the guards and the receptionist are eyeing them weirdly. They are so gross. It’s just very inappropriate. Seriously, get a room and do it in private.

Turns out, Valentine's day isn't that bad.
Being single and admittedly a non-attractive girl on this day, I do not expect anything from anyone at all. What I was looking forward to this day was our reservation at Vikings. We’ll be having dinner later with a bunch of friends, both the singles and those in a relationship. And so I was surprised when I was given 3 single-stem red roses and a Happy Valentine’s Day Heart stick....

Big day tomorrow, right?
Almost everyone’s busy, being all lovey-dovey and be like:
Well as for me, I’d be in my room, watching movies and be like this:

Nothing can beat that combination. The latest episode of TVD is just so amazing.
The Original family’s ball was grand. And I really enjoyed the dancing part. Damon and Elena looked so good together and the new Klaroline team up is just so irresistible. And it was made more romantic by Ed Sheeran’s song, Give Me Love. I feel like bursting with happiness, given the fact that y favorite...

What better way to relieve stress than have a book...
HELL WEEK IS OFFICIALLY OVER. Yes, our preliminary exams came to an end today. This week had been so stressful that I didn’t have any time to go online and post some new stuff.
Anyways, since I feel so down about some of my tests, my friends and I decided to go out tonight. We chose to go to The Fort and go on a food trip and whatever else we can do there. So we ate at Trellis and window...

Warning: Brain about to explode.
When you are forced to study everyday for every subject, you’ll eventually get tired of the whole routine. I feel it now. With quizzes everyday and written reports every week, who wouldn’t feel exhausted? Everything is just so habitual that I am so bored with the things I’m doing in school. Yes, I get that it is necessary, given the course I chose, but sometimes I wish I could...

Mini book haul.
Went to MOA yesterday and of course, visited the bookstore I love the most: Fullybooked. And look at these babies that I found! Oh heaven!
At first, I only wanted to buy Douglas Adams’ Hitchhicker’s Guide To Galaxy, but then I spotted this awesome book, Zombies vs Unicorns. I think it’s a great book since a lot of my favorite authors are included in this anthology of short...

When most of your friends have their love life...
Seriously, how can you walk with them all love struck, carrying flowers and whatever gifts their partner or suitor gave them? It’s not easy to pretend like you’re fine with it. And then there would be the assholes mocking and teasing you because you’re the only one in your group who don’t have something from someone. at the end of the day. It’s humiliating.
But what...

If sleep is for the weak then for now, I will...
Yes. After a very long and stressful day, I can finally go to sleep. Today, we had an individual and group recitation in Anatomy Lab, two quizzes for Physiology Lab and practical exams for PT lab. I am so tired. and last night, I barely had two hours of sleep. I feel like my body’s just about to break down from exhaustion. But that’s all over now. We don’t have anything for...

Reality bites hard.
Just finished watching this movie. A good eye-opener, this one is. Although, I think the issue that it focuses on isn’t exactly new to us, internet people.
The story is about Taylor Hillridge, an average high school girl who gets a laptop as a present for her birthday. This lead her to the world of internet and social networking sites. And as it goes, certain comments and posts started to...

Ingrid Michaelson's new album is already out!
Yes. FINALLY! Human Again was released last January 24, 2012. I just knew about it a whille ago. I am in love with her so I already have my copy of the album. Of course, I only downloaded it. Fuck SOPA and all that. Hahaha. Here are the track list and snippets of the lyrics for this new album:

So much for being my friends.
I said that I am not feeling well. That I might be down with a fever. But what did you do? You asked me if it’s true or if I’m just faking it. You accused me of being a killjoy. Wow. What a nice way to treat a friend who’s sick. And then what? When I excused myself to go to my room and finally have my rest, you mock me? Said that I’m pretending. Ha. Really great, guys. And...

I can't believe that I wore a fuchsia pink...
In light of UST’s Velada Tomasino event, students are required to wear Spanish Period costumes. At first, only the freshmen and the sophomores in our college were asked to follow the dress code. But two days ago, it was announced that incentives would be given to those who will wear costumes.
Of course, since I am already in my dorm, I don’t have anything that matches the said attire....

A zombie who yearns for a better life ends up falling in love—with a human—in this astonishingly original debut novel.
R is a zombie. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he has dreams. He doesn’t enjoy killing people; he enjoys riding escalators and listening to Frank Sinatra. He is a little different from his fellow Dead.
The Plot:

The most boring yet very much mentally exhausting...
Ugh. And as always, this job was assigned to me. I cannot say no since it’s a group grade and much of it depends on the discussion part. I once made a mistake of giving this part to another member and we got a shitty grade. I’m not saying that I do not trust them, it’s just that I am more at ease when I am the one doing the crucial parts.

Food people cannot understand why I hate.
Let’s be honest here, everyone of us have that certain food we just cannot stand eating. And each of us have reasons for staying away from such munchies. As for me, it just so happens that the food I cringe away from are liked by most people I know. Here are some of them:
Shrimp and Lobsters
I have a valid excuse for staying away from these seafood. I am allergic to them and I get these...
