Happy 49th Anniversary, Doctor Who!

I saw this circulating in Facebook this morning, but I wasn’t able to find the original post. So I apologize for not being able to properly give credit to the person who actually made it. Just to let you know what the post was all about, I took the liberty to post the picture: 

As a great Doctor Who fan, I was very much willing to oblige. Before I went to school this morning, I drew the Doctor Who initials on my wrist using a blue highlighter and liquid eyeliner. I tried my very best to copy the “DW” logo and here was the result:

At school, only one guy noticed this and he was also the only other person in my class who watches Doctor Who. My friends even teased me for being the big “nerd girl” I am when I explain what this drawing meant. Some others gave weird glances at my wrist. Ha, like I care. Nonetheless, I was happy with what I did. Right now, it is still on my wrist and the more I see it there, the more I want to have a permanent tattoo like this. Oh, if only I can get one, I would.

So again, Happy 49th Anniversary to Doctor Who! I am expecting a lot more of those great episodes! 

Movie time.

I got my first paycheck yesterday(FINALLY!) and I decided to treat myself today. I wasn’t able to celebrate the mother’s day with my mom since it wasn’t her day off and she has work to do. And so instead, my cousin and I went to the mall to watch two movies: The Avengers and Dark Shadows. 

Please please please, do not laugh because I only watched this movie today. I know that I shouldn’t have waited too long to watch it. But hey, better late than never right? Anyway, I really enjoyed it. I am a big fan of superhero movies and this one is a really good one. Since Captain America, I have been waiting for this movie to come out. Some people found The Avengers boring and I must say, I don’t understand why. It’s action-packed, the CGI and effects were brilliant, plus it wasn’t lacking on the humor department either. My only guess is that those who did not enjoy it are people who aren’t actually fans of superhero movie or big comic readers. I guess they were just people who watched the movie to be “in” and part of the fad. To me, the movie was great and the actors did very well. I particularly am drawn to Stark’s sarcastic and witty humor, Loki’s pain, and Hawkeye and Black Widow’s tandem. I enjoyed the movie very much.

Johnny Depp + Helena Bonham Carter + Eva Green + Tim Burton.

Uhm duh. What could be a reason not to watch this movie? This combination is perfect enough to drag me inside the movie house. Okay, so to the movie. Actually, I wasn’t much confident as to how the movie will go since it’s a vampire film. I was afraid that it would be like Twilight and all those trashy vampire/werewolf movies. Well, I am glad I still watched this one. It wasn’t a one-of-a-kind movie since Barnabus Collins, like any other vampire, is a blood-thirsty, manipulative and vengeful creature. But what made me like it is how time plays a different factor. In a lot of vampire books and series, the main character is usually immortal and lives through years and years. In this one, Barnabus was buried for two centuries and when he was finally awoken, he experience somewhat like a culture shock for his life and world was very different with the one he was awaken to. And also, the movie was hilarious plus Eve Green’s hot rack caught everyone’s attention. Good movie, usual Burton gothic picturesque, but not actually the best of the Burton-Depp tandem.

Now Reading: Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen

Just started with this book. I’m done with more than the first dozen pages, and I must say, this is a really cute book. I mean, it’s fresh and it is full of thoughts from two innocent, but very insightful minds. And the more I read, the more I see that the movie very much stuck true to the book’s storyline. Will update soon, after I’m done with it. Happy reading, fellow bookworms!

Look at what I’ve been studying about.

lalalalalalala… a tinee tiny PENIS!! lol

Yeah, we have an Anatomy quiz tomorrow about the perineum (part of the body that contains the reproductive organs). Trust me, it was so weird dissecting a dead man’s penis during our Anatomy Lab time. No one wants to do it. Our male classmates said that it was sacrilege and the females, wouldn’t even touch it. But it has to be done, so in the end, one of our male groupmates did the the dissection. And oh yes, now I am staring at a bunch of pictures of penises and vaginas. Both drawings or actual ones. And I have to memorize the parts. And even learn the mechanisms of erection. How weird. Haha. Well, this is a PT’s life. Got to get past the awkward reproductive organs. As for me, I didn’t have that awkward phase. It’s actually fine with me. I mean, I’ve watched enough porn before so I’m kinda used to how the “thing” looks. During in our lab, I just touch it and point out the different parts, like it’s the most normal thing to do. Lalalala.    

And so I’m back from book shopping.

And these are the books I have found. Sorry for the crappy photo quality. I used my webcam since my camera isn’t here in my dorm. Words cannot express how happy I am to find these amazing books. Some of them, I’ve been desperately looking for over a year already. And yes, I guess I am just lucky. All of these books are on my to-buy list and now, I finally have them. It just sucks that I won’t be reading any of these soon since I have my exams coming. But oh well, my heart is just so glad now that I am in possession of these great books.

Here are the titles and the price if you are interested in buying them too:

The Absolute True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie (Php 399)

Going Bovine by Libba Bray (Php 462)

Let It Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle (Php 294)

Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan (Php 378)

Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel (Php 609)

My Name Is Memory by Ann Brashares (Php 315)

And a grand total of:  Php 2457

I know it’s a lot but this would be my last book shopping this month. I would probably buy next month or maybe by March. And oh, I bought them all from Fully Booked. :)

Finally have a planner.

Yep, I bought the Design Your Life planner from Powerbooks. I wanted the Starbucks one but then when I saw the actual sample, I was hesitant because the space was too small for my liking. And then I found this and I immediately fell in love. The doodle per month are so cute and it wasn’t lined, so it’s perfect. There were also pages like the “Have You Smiled Today?” and a lot of quotes sprinkled at every page.

And because I was bored, I decided to spice it up a bit and make it more personalized. I used a 3d paint to scrawl on my name in front and I added some cute stuff in front and at the back. I also put some of my adorable post-its at the back for I often use those for reminders and stuff. And that’s it. I just hope I can maintain these add-ons and that they wouldn’t be ruined after some time. I enjoyed what I did to my planner and I do miss being artsy crafty shizz. 

First time playing card games.

Today, I learned how to play Poker, Pusoy Dos, Blackjack, Lucky 9 and Crazy 8. Yes, I admit, I must be the lamest of all the lame people since I don’t know how to play these very popular card games. What can I do, that’s just one of my quirks? First of all, no one in our family play cards so it’s impossible for them to teach me how. And then, even if someone was able to teach me, I wouldn’t have anyone to play with. My sister don’t like these games and other than her, who would want to play with me at our house?

Oh well, at least now, because of my awesome friends, I got the chance to know how to play. Of course, I got a dozen laughs and insults from them due to me not knowing things like that. I felt so stupid when they were explaining the combinations and whatnots of the game. I even asked them if I could have a list so I won’t get confused. Haha. But the funny thing is, I actually won in Poker and Blackjack the first time I tried playing. My friends even said that I cheated since no one gets to be that lucky. What can I say, I guess I’m a fast learner. 

It was really fun. We played for almost 3 hours and we even had bets and pot money. But of course, just coins and nothing too high. We don’t have enough money to gamble on. In the end, when we got bored, we used the remaining pot money to buy food to feast on. It was really a fun experience for me. I hope that I won’t forget playing them all.

Not bad at all.

So yes, we really had our first class back to school today. Of course, everyone in our batch was dreading to face this week since our grades for the first shifting exams would be given to us. But for me, it’s not actually a bad day at all. Here are a few reasons why I feel good today.

• We had lecture for our first class but it wasn’t really boring and all that.
• We got dismissed earlier because our prof for the second class only distributed our exams.
• I got a very high score in the Kinesiology exam (72/80). Haha.
• We had our exchange gifts today and I got a Murakami book, Kafka on The Shore. (So so happy!!)
• Another friend of mine gave me this cute little notebook. (I love notebooks! Plus, it has no lines.)
• I also received Hershey’s Cookies and Cream chocolate, a bracelet and a new nail polish. (Awesome!!)
• And since we got dismissed early, I slept for more than 3 hours, from 2:30-6pm. (My body clock is still not fixed okay? Haha)

And that’s about it for today. I hope that I will have as much fun and good day tomorrow, as well. Wish me luck!
