Fun, dorky, and entertaining.

Been reading this book while waiting for my downloads to finish. And damn, I just cannot stop laughing. Seriously, Vizzini is one hell of a writer. His writing is so natural and simple. None of those highfalutin words and cheesy lines from typical young adult books. This book is quite vulgar and is filled with curse words plus a slight touch of perversion but they all mixed in so well. It’s hilarious and adorably dorky. I think it’s such an underrated book. Hope to finish it soon and make a full review later. 

“It only takes a split second to smile and forget, yet to someone that needed it, it can last a lifetime. We should all smile more often.”

New DP. I am not going to use boredom as an excuse for being a camwhore today. I just feel like being vain and taking pictures of myself. So yeah, this is the outcome. 

Good evening friends! I won’t be staying long as I will log off soon. Earth hour is less than an hour from now, and it won’t hurt to sacrifice just an hour on the internet for energy conservation. So yup, that’s it. Just TA me if you want to talk. :) 

Say hello to my study buddies.

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?

If only I am as lucky in my love life as I am in book hunting..

Went out to go to the mall because I have to buy some stuff I need at my dorm. Of course I chose the mall with my favorite bookstore, so I went to SM Mall of Asia. It didn’t even took me more than 15 minutes to buy the things I need. And then, I immediately head off to Fullybooked to look for any good book I can find.

Well, my luck paid off and I found three books that are in my to-buy list. I got another David Levithan book, The Lover’s Dictionary. It was the last stock available in that branch and one other guy was holding it. I was already getting very much envious because I really wanted this book. But then, as he was going around, he found another book and put The Lover’s Dictionary down. The moment he let go, I immediately picked it up and the guy saw me. He looked at me and gave this funny look. I just smile and said, “Thank you for putting this down!” And then he laughed. Who cares? At least I got the book. I also found Michael Thomas Ford’s Suicide Notes and Walton’s Cracked at the shelves. I grabbed them both and decided I have enough so I bought them all.

If only I was this lucky in finding that special person, then maybe I’d be happier. Haha. Oh well, at least I am very satisfied with my hoard today. Hope I can finally read these books. I want to have my vacation already so that I can have time! 

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 dystopian scene.

Same as my first time reading it, I don’t really get why people are fighting over Team Gale and Team Peeta. I think that it was very clear from the beginning that Katniss only sees Gale as a very trusted friend. It was obvious from the start that Peeta would be the one filling in the romantic department of Katniss’ life.

Aside from this, I also still feel repulsed by the Hunger Games itself. I think that it mirrors the society that we live in today, although not exactly in that way. People are turning a blind eye to every misdemeanor and grave issue of the world. Instead of doing something, all we do is watch and enjoy how other people suffer. We just stand in the sidelines, safe and never wanting to be involved in changing the disrupted world. Our fear becomes our own enemy. We are too afraid to try anything to make this world a better place.

I think this is the best part about the book. It shows people how to be brave and stand up against the wrongs, even though everybody seems fine with it. Katniss is the one person that was able to ignore her personal safety in order to help thousands of others. She became their strength and model. And as ever, this is the reason why I love the series so much. 

I can’t believe that I wore a fuchsia pink Filipiñana costume for a whole day.

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. And so I asked my blockmates if they have any extra Filipiñana. Well, I found one all right, but it was solid fuchsia pink. I was very hesitant to wear it but I must so I can benefit from the extra credit that would be given. 

So here are some pictures we took today:

This was at Plaza Mayor, with a made-up background of a Spanish-style mansion.

This was at the cool archway near the football field.

Just trying to pose like a old Filipino family.

Oh, and this is my sadist friend.

So yeah, imagine if we still dress like this today. I think it looks good but given the weather here in our country, I think it would be best to stick with the clothes we have today. Plus, it’s not easy thing, walking around in those things. And the itch is not worth it. Haha.

I am a lot of things altogether.

I am a math geek, a book nerd, a PT student. I am talkative, but also quiet at times. I am weird and crazy. I am snob but also caring. I get nervous but I can also be too confident. I eat a lot. I get angry, I cry. I can be stupid at one moment and very serious on another. I get cranky, I have issues. I am all of that put together.

But tonight, I am vain. Yes. I don’t know but I just want to take a picture of myself and tweak the colors, so there. I don’t deny being a camwhore. Like every girl, I have my vain side. And now, it’s showing. So yep, hello friends. This is me right now, at this time of night (or day, depending on how you look at it).

So, should I use this as my new DP?

Let me just fill your dash with my huge face.

Hello there. I am staring at you. Yes, you. You should be scared. Are you scared now? Are you???

Oh yeah, this is the face of the insane person you are following. Hope you’re still okay there.

Hahaha. Sorry. I just got bored. I’m studying for three quizzes tomorrow and I not even halfway done. So as usual, I just ended up taking a picture of myself. Look at those enormous eye bags! Seriously, they are so big. This is the effect of being back to school for just a bit more than two weeks. It’s really insane. So anyways, just want to greet everyone a good evening! Gotta go back to my thick and awesome textbooks. Ta ta.
