Lalalalala. My happiness right now is inexplicable because of this book. It’s been so long, and I finally got my hands on it! I am just so freaking happy. You might say that I am overreacting but I really don’t care. I wanted to have this book (well it’s not actually a book) so bad for the last couple of years and I have been hunting for it in every bookstore I go to.
And all these feelings won’t exist if not for my very awesome friend, AJ. It was our enrollment today and she told me that she has a surprise for me. Of course, I wondered what it was because she is the type who never gives gifts or whatever for no special occasion. I thought it was just some souvenir or trinkets from the US since she spent her summer there.
Imagine my utter surprise when she handed this to me. I was so overwhelmed that I jumped and hugged her. Apparently, her family went to Barnes and Noble and there, she spotted this book. She told me that she remembered how I was so desperate to find one (she was always with me when I am searching for the book in every bookstore possible). And the astonishing thing was that she bought it. FOR ME. Free of charge.
You have to understand that this is a big deal because AJ doesn’t treat anyone even on her birthday. So I was really really thankful for what she did. She’s one of my closest friends in college but I never thought I would like her more that I already do. Seriously. Again, AJ Bird, thank you so much for this. I really am glad that I have a friend like you. You know me so well. I don’t know how to thank you enough. I love you, baby girl!
5. Why would I need to read a boring book when I could watch the movie?
4. Oh, I made a teeny tiny rip on one page of your favorite book. It’s just really small.
3. There are far better things to do than read books.
2. Those are just characters inside a book. They are not real, they do not exist.
1. Sorry, I lost your book. I mean, we’re friends so it’s fine, right?
These photos are super late uploads. This was last December during the Paskuhan event.
I decided to put it here because I kinda miss hanging out with my friends. It’s always like this during vacation. We live far apart and it’s hard to plan for something when everybody else have their own family outings. Our schedules just don’t match. Plus I’m too broke to actually go to any party or out-of-town trip. I guess I just miss goofing around with them, talking about anything and everything under the sun. All the craziness and laughter we all have when we’re all together. At least I’ll be seeing some of them on Monday. I’m excited, somehow.
Oh well, this is just the nostalgic me is getting out and reminiscing. Haha. Forgive me.
Of all the advice and soothing words, this is the last thing that I would want to hear from anyone. For me, it is the most selfish and most insensitive consolation someone could give to another person. If someone is already being eaten up by their problems, this is not a good way to help relieve the burden. It’s like telling someone to ignore the dagger stabbing at his/her heart just because someone else has a great big sword stuck on theirs. A small dagger or a giant sword, either way, both would cause immediate death. It’s the same with problems. No matter how small or shallow our problems are compared to others, it doesn’t change the fact that this problem is bothering us and affecting us negatively. It will be there and won’t go away. So I really think that it’s useless to say the words above to anyone at all. It would probably better if you try to hear out and understand the reason for the person’s agitation rather than asking them to dismiss whatever feelings they have.
Especially when none of my friends wants to buy them. The books I like are too weird and boring for their taste. Haha.
LOOK AT WHAT ARRIVED IN THE MAIL TODAY!!
My very own Hogwarts acceptance letter! This is, what, 7 years late? Can I still be a first year at 18? I’ve been waiting like hell for this when I was 11. If only I can drop everything right now, leave the university and fly straight to Hogwarts, I would. My dream of being a witch in JK Rowling’s wizarding world never ceases and will always be there.
Okay, so I know that I’m only kidding myself with this. This did not come from Hogwarts, this came from my friend. She made me one and sent it through mail just because she misses me. It’s awesome, though. It looks very legit and all with the parchment paper she used. I really love her so much. She knows I’ve been having this Harry Potter withdrawal ever since the last film ended. This is so nice and it was immediately added to my Harry Potter collection, together with the 7 books, 8 DVDs, 3 shirts, 2 rings, and 3 necklaces. I’m still hoping to get my hands on a time-turner, though. Plus, when I get my own job, I swear I would go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Studios, Florida. I cannot die without first visiting that place.
Sometimes, I just don’t speak when they ask me why I love these things. Why should I even bother what constitutes my personality? I mean, it’s just the way I am. I know that some of these things aren’t considered socially “normal” or whatever but I don’t really care. As far as I’m concerned, none of these are affecting them negatively, so what’s the problem?
Aside from my ever beloved Mr. Coffee, I also have Ms. Eggpie, Ms. Double Dutch, and Mr. Mamon. Hahahaha. I just cannot study without food beside me, so yeah. I do believe in the saying “You cannot think well and study on an empty stomach.”
I just need these comfort food tonight. I have to study for 3 quizzes and 2 recitations. And I have just finished my written report. Our class tomorrow starts at 7am, so good luck to me. BTW, I don’t care if these things make me fat. Want sooooooome?
SERIOUSLY, I’VE HAD ENOUGH WITH ALL THE BULLYING. FAT. UGLY. WORTHLESS. YES I HAVE HEARD OF THOSE BEFORE. YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST ONE TO TELL ME THAT. I’VE HAD ENOUGH WITH ALL THIS BULLSHIT YOU PEOPLE GIVE ME. I ALREADY FEEL BAD ABOUT MYSELF. WHY MAKE IT SO MUCH WORSE WITH ALL YOUR HARSH WORDS?! JUST A JOKE? IS THAT SO? WELL IT’S NOT FUNNY. NOT TO ME, ANYWAY. IT’S VERY MUCH FRUSTRATING. I WANT TO BE MAD AND SHOUT BACK BUT THAT WOULD ONLY MAKE THINGS WORSE. DO YOU KNOW THE FEELING WHEN YOU FEEL SO HURT BUT YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING BUT LAUGH IT OFF JUST SO YOU WON’T BE CALLED A TOUCHY SORE LOSER. GOD, YOU DON’T KNOW HOW IT SUCKS TO LAUGH AT JOKES DIRECTED TO YOUR OWN SELF. I WANT IT ALL TO BE OVER. NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TELL MYSELF TO IGNORE THE WORDS OTHER PEOPLE SAY, I JUST CANNOT FOOL MYSELF INTO THINKING THAT IT’S GOING TO BE ALRIGHT. BECAUSE IT WON’T. IT WILL NEVER BE. SHIT, I AM SO MAD AND SAD AND HURT AT THE SAME TIME, I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO FEEL ANYMORE. I JUST CANNOT KEEP IT ALL TO MYSELF THIS TIME. AND THEN YOU WOULD WONDER WHY I AM BEING SO DISTANT WITH THE GROUP, CALLING ME A LONER AND STUFF LIKE THAT. HUH. WELL GET THIS, IT’S ACTUALLY BECAUSE OF HOW YOU TREAT ME. IT’S LIKE I’M A BIG JOKE TO YOU. OH, THERE’S A PUN IN THAT, RIGHT? ME, A BIG JOKE. GET IT? BIG?
