Dear followers..

This coming Tuesday, my classes would resume and I would have to go back to my dorm tomorrow. Now I guess you would say, “Why is she telling us these stuff like we care?” Well, this post is somewhat like a notice to all of you, my dear followers. Since I would be back to school, that means I would have much less time for pleasure reading for I will probably use it for my academics. And with that, my blog posts won’t be as frequent as this summer. It’s not like I’d be entirely gone, only a little absent. I’ll try my best to post at least once a week so that my blog won’t be stale. 

So uhm, I think what I’m saying here is that I hope you would still stick with me even with the diminished updates. But I know there would always be those who won;t, who will unfollow. But really, it’s okay and I would understand. I just want to inform you of what will happen so you won’t be surprised. :)

Woah. It’s raining again. That’s the second time this week now. Whatever happened to summer? Haha. Oh, like I care. I like this kind of weather better. Add a steaming mug of coffee and a good book, and it’s perfect.

“Oh Christ, you’re reading again. When will you ever put those books down? Go out of your room for a change, get a life.”

So mom went in my room a while ago and found me reading a book again. And yup, that’s what she said to me. Of course, I got irritated but I didn’t tell her what’s on my mind because I really don’t want to have an argument with her this early in the morning. 

But here’s what I would have said: Well you know what mom? This is my life. Don’t you get that? You cannot just pluck these books away from me like some trash you want to throw away. You should be grateful that I am like this. I don’t go on about wasting away with other bad habits like drinking or smoking or drugs. I am no social butterfly or any of those sorts, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have a life. You’d say it’s the summer vacation and that I should go out and enjoy the sun but I won’t do that. Like you’ve said it’s vacation, the only time I get to read these kind of books and not those thick hardbound textbooks. My life may be around all these fictional worlds but that doesn’t mean I don’t have a real one. Trust me, if I want to go out and party with my friends, I can. And a fat lot that would cost you. But that’s just it. I DO NOT WANT TO. Reading is what makes me happy and you cannot change that. How else do you think I maintain my scholarship grant if I do not love reading so much. I wouldn’t have passed my subjects if I didn’t read extensively. Plus, I enjoy being at home, alone. I do not have to put up with other people’s business. I’d rather soak up in silence, reading books than to fake enjoy spending time with other people.

So mom, my answer to your question is never. I won’t ever put these books down and stop reading. It’s part of who I am and I don’t care if you or other people think it’s lame and boring. And trust me, it’s not a waste of my time.   

The blazing summer heat is killing me. Thank goodness for whoever invented air conditioning! I just want to live inside the fridge and eat ice cream all day. Haha.

While everyone is going out of town, spending their vacation at the beach or some place else, enjoying the summer heat, here I am, cooped up in my room for the whole day. And what do I do? I watch movies and TV series on my laptop, read piles of books and blog about staying indoor. That’s just pathetic,  and lame me. Sometimes I wonder why I still have friends. How could they possibly stand such a dull girl like me?

Dork? Geek? Weirdo? Yep. That’s me.

Look at what I’ve been up to for the past couple of hours. Yep, call me a dork or a weirdo, but this is how I spend my summer time. Covering tons of books. As I’ve said before, I am not one to go out and waste away, partying or travelling. I am not a social butterfly like most of my friends. I tend to keep with myself. I am very much a home-buddy and I have my ways to kill time. And this is one of them. 

It’s a common knowledge to some of you that I am very protective of my books. I take my time to cover them, and this is done very meticulously. I have this thing where I cannot read a book without me covering it yet. I dunno, I just feel more safe handling my books that have plastic covers. Yes, maybe I am a crazy person, but I am really really OC when it comes to my precious treasures. And mind you, this task does not bore me at all. In fact, I enjoy it very much. See? Total freak right? Oh well, I can’t do anything with how my brain goes. Oh I forgot! I also printed out little name labels for my books. It’s just a small one I stick on the bottom corner of each book. And it’s just my nickname. 

So far, I’m done with 9 books and I’m hoping to finish 6 more. I ran out of cover so I only have to deal with just these few remaining books. Maybe I’ll buy some more covers the next time I go out. 

Please tell me that I’m not the only one who does this kind of stuff.     

..and I wonder why I have such a non-existent love life. Pssssh. -_- 

Summer to-reads and rereads.

Well, hello there my dearest of friends! After what seemed to be an eternity of separation and waiting, we finally meet again. No more textbooks for me. Summer is for novels and fiction books. Pleasure reading at its finest. And I swear to you, my beloved books, this time I’m going to give you my utmost attention. It feel so good to have a pile of books by my bedside, knowing that I now have all the time I need to read. And for you anon, I can finally start making book reviews again.

So my goal for the 2-month long vacation is to at least finish these 20 books. I’m not the type to go out on beaches and parties during summer. I’d rather spend my hours on these. Some of them are rereads like Divergent and It’s Kind of a Funny Story. And for the others, my first. For the Percy Jackson series, I know that I should have read this way back, but then it was only recently bought a copy. I hope that I picked the right books with good plots. Wish me luck friends! :)

2 more weeks before my last summer vacation.

Yup, next week is the “hell week”, as everyone calls it. Finals. Hooray! NOT. And this is really my last summer vacation since next year, internship would start at April. So, I must really make this vacation count!

Goodbye.

So my summer days are officially over. I am going back to my dorm tomorrow and my classes are back on Tuesday. So, here are the goodbyes I think necessary at the moment:

• Goodbye late night Tumblr-ing.
• Goodbye hours in front of the computer.
• Goodbye 5am sleeping time.
• Goodbye sleeping in ‘til mid afternoon.
• Goodbye posting every minute, every hour of everyday.
• Goodbye everyday movie marathons.
• Goodbye reading marathons.
• Goodbye music huntings.
• Goodbye Tumblr-crush stalking.
• Goodbye homework-free weekends.
• Goodbye lazy times.
• Goodbye eating spree.

God, I am so not ready to end this vacation yet. I don’t want to stress over school things again. But anyways, at least I’ll have my allowance back. So, hello money for me! :))

My brain is in a haze. God, I hate oversleeping.

Yeah, so I slept at 7am since I was watching movies and reading books and I got up at 3pm. That was fine, that’s my normal habit during summer. But the, after eating and taking a bath, I slept around 5pm and woke up just now. For me, that’s sleep overdose and now my head is pounding. Ugh. I hate this. I feel more tired.
