Oxygen pls!

*breathe in* *breathe out* *breathe in* Aaaahhh! HAHA can't believe Brenan Espartinez replied to me on Skype!!! Crush ko since first yr or second yr HS? Hmmm I think it was my 18th birthday when he greeted me on Twitter (@jongetzz). It was one of my most memorable birthdays ever because Brenan himself wished me a happy birthday. Hihihi! Too bad I deactivated that account and it got deleted for real. Sayang talaga. I'm really in love with Brenan's voice. I still cannot get over with his singing and dancing of Burn-Usher. Kaya kahit hey there lang yan. Feeling ko kumpleto na one year ko, perfect! <3

July so far

It's been a week since I last posted here. Here's a recap of what happened to me this week..

July 8- Monday. I did my Polsci199 homework. That's all I can remember. Haha! Nothing special..

July 9- Tuesday. Still cramming bibliographies for Polsci199. After class, I went to SMF and stayed there til 9pm. Had to study alone without my cousin. Sad.

July 10- Wednesday. Happy day! Tawa lang ako ng tawa during PI100 class. Kulet ni sir! Hehe. Pero mas makulet naman seatmate ko (Bianx)! Also we had our recit in my Anthro198 class.. when it was my turn to recite, I wasn't nervous at all, knowing what he would ask could be found on my readings. Then! He asked me a question that couldn't be found on the rdg. Paniiiic mode. In short I wasn't able to answer. But he did not get mad or what :) what he got mad for was when I did not follow the format for our first exer. That's because I'm not active on Facebook anymore so I wasn't able to check our fb grp. I got a low mark on our first exer. Sabi pa ni sir, pag di namin kaya mag profile ng normal people, pano pa kami mag profile ng criminals? Right?

July 11- Thursday. Haggard day! We had our quiz in Chem and I got another yucky grade! I wasn't listening to my Prof cos I was studying for Econ. Hate it. Come the Econ exam. shit. Ano toh? Feeling ko zero ako dun. I thought I should've listened to my Chem Prof's lecture rather than studied for Econ. But really, I shouldn't have crammed in the first place. Then our Prof returned our second exer in Polsc199.. yucky grade na naman. Ahhh. Lahat nalang. Kelan kaya gaganda grades ko? After class, I got to buy our book Rizal: Makabayan at Martir at the UP Press (near College of Arki) for 300pesos only! Finally!

July 12- Happy day! 1 lang subject ko every Fri eh:)) after class I walked to CS with Bianx. STS class niya dun. Tas binigyan nya pako Chocovron. Saraaap! Hehe. Fave ko yun. I can eat one pack of it in one sitting. Then I got really hungry but I don't have money.. So get how will I eat breakfast? Sira pa yong ATM sa FC. Argh. That's why I  had to walk to SC. Withdraw. Rode jeep. Nagkita pa kami ni George (HS classmate)! Bago na hair niya. Mas bagay kase di na sya long hair. Charge ng phone sa AS lobby. Then I went jogging around the acad oval. That was my second time (the first time was with my mom :]). Soundtrip with Bianx sa tambs. Meeting with Allen, Anna etc at IBA tambs. Met up with my cousin at Iskomai. Went to SMF again. Tambay til 8pm. Picture picture. Here's our pics.. Hehe.

Serious XD

Happy face!

                           

Pilit smile XD

                                 

Di namin pinag-usapan pose namin dyan. Promise. But because we're like sisters, we also start to think alike. Hehe. Cheesy! Then I bought my sister's fave Caesar Salad for pasalubong cos she's still sick.

July 13- Saturday. Stayed at home :(

July 14- Today. It's Allen and Ivan's birthday! Woo! Happy birthday guys! :))

And today I'll just go over my reading assignments. Go to church later. Here's my todo list:

[x] read Ch. 3, Ch. 4 and Inside the Criminal Brain for Anthro198

[ ] do exer in Anthro167

[ ] make 15 biblio entries for Polsc199

[ ] read for PI100

Ang dami. I don't think I can finish everything today. But I have to. Tas nag reactivate na rin ako ng Facebook and Twitter. I had to. But I'll deactivate them again cos I was able to do everything I needed to do with them. What else? Hmm. I'm currently reading Selection by Kiera Cass. I have just started with the book. So far so good. Hehe. Imagine your usual cheesy fairytale and that's basically the plot.Okay that's all for now. I will eat then read for Anthro. Gtg!

Love love,

Eye (have a) problem

Had to have my eyes checked cos I often get dizzy and found out my eyes got worse! +100 +100 na grado HUHU. I'm so sad. Why eyes why :( #rise #effect

That's the caption of the photo that I posted yesterday on Instagram. My sister and I went to Executive Optical to get me a new specs. I have not worn mine for about four months because I don't want to wear one plus I have no idea where the left lens of my yellow glasses has gone. But recently, I have been feeling the symptoms of my astigmatism most esp. dizziness. I couldn't tolerate it anymore so we went to EO but their doctor wasn't there because it was already 8pm so I only bought the frame first and had an eye checkup using a machine.. I don't know what that machine with hot air balloon or a house in the middle of a desert thingie is called but it made me so depressed lol. According to that machine, as what's written at the top of this post, I have an eye grade of +100, left and right. Last time I posted a photo on Facebook, I said that I was so happy cos my eyeglasses' grade went down to +0 +25. Now, it went up to +100 +100?! You gotta be kidding me lol. But I just had to accept the sad fact and went home with an ultra broken heart. It was really a bad day for me. When we went to EO this afternoon, I got my glasses (this time with lens) but my doctor said that I must be tired the previous night that's why the machine read +100 +100. She added that our eyes are more tense at night.. thus the exagge reading! But my actual eye grade is still +25 +25 (wait.. I'm not sure haha)! This made my day! Huhu I promise not to read inside the bus or while lying down or spend too much time on the computer. I promise to love and take care of you with my whole heart, dear eyes.

Say hello to Lola Tala XD

Share lang

Good morning! Kakagising ko lang ngayon. I'm having the convenient breakfast (cereals) at the moment because my sister's sleeping and I'm really hungry! Let's eat?

                                

Anyway it's Saturday that's why I have no classes. Today, I won't have to worry about being a zombie walking around the campus. Happy face talaga ko twing no classes. Pero happy naman ako sa school ha, kahapon nga tawa ako ng tawa. Nung morning nalungkot ako ng 1.2% kase akala ko absent si Bianx. Kung kelan Friday pa naman. Naisip ko nung una late lang. Kaya lingon ako ng lingon sa likod pero wala talaga. Around 9am na yon kaya naisip ko absent na nga, di ko pa masend text ko asking her why she's ditching PI100. Pero walang signal sa room kaya fail. Mga matatapos na ata class bigla nalang may tumalsik na takip ng Gtec sa left side ko. Nasa row 3 [or 4?] ako tas nasa 2nd row yong takip ng Gtec. Kaya naiisip ko pupulutin ko kaya lang lumagpas saken, NEVER MIND =)) pinulot ni Bianx yong takip kase sa ballpen nya pala yon! Todo smile pa siya sa ateng tumulong pumulot sa kanya. Akala ko friends talaga sila, hinde pala! Hahaha ang kulet hinagis nya lang pala takip ng ballpen nya para lumingon ako kase nagtetext pala sya. Di ko lang narereceive kase wala ako signal. Kaya lang fail kase lumagpas saken ung pagkahagis nya kaya di ko na masyado pinansin. Next time isakto mo naman! Hahaha! After class magkasama na kami pero pupunta pa siyang STS, ako wala nang class. Magkasama kami maglakad ng onti away from Palma Hall. Sabi niya hanap daw sya ng hanap di niya ko makita sa class, buti nalang nahanap niya yong magulo buhok! Ako pala ung magulo buhok at mukhang di naliligo. Basta tawang tawa ako kung ano-ano pinagsasabe niya. Maya-maya sabi niya ano ba yan tumatalsik pa laway mo. Di ako sure kung joke niya na naman to or seryoso. Nag sorry nako tas di ko pa rin mapigil kakatawa. Hahahaha! Pero bigla naman ako natapilok! Wthhh? Ang faaail db, kung kelan ka nagpapaka-girl saka ka matatapilok ng ganun. Nakakahiya talaga. Pero dahil true friend si Bianx syempre tinawanan niya pako. Natapilok na nga ako. Ayon naghiwalay na kami =)) Walked my way to CASAA to eat breakfast cos I got up late that morning. I was to order food when I read my cousin's text. She's at UP daw. Asan na raw ako? Rereplyan ko na si Kuku nang biglang.. Battery empty! Takbo ako ng mabilis para magcharge ng phone sa main lib. Ayon may kaharap pako na girl sa table, eh hinde ko talaga napigil tawa ko. As in may tunog. Ang kulet ng text ng pinsan ko! Muka nakong baliw dun sa main lib, grrr. Kumaen kami ng favorite siomai ko sa Area 2, saraaap! Hehe. Pero maaga pa yon, 12 palang yon kaya tambay muna kami sa SM Fairview [I just hope my Tita won't be able to read this! Haha]. Hanggang 5pm nasa SMF pa kami, nag Hannibal marathon buong magdamag. Pero tatlong frappe lang naman nabili namin. Basta nag-enjoy talaga ko manuod ng series with Kuku Crunch. Went to Redwoods then watched Must Be Love. 

Pareho pa kami ng damit ni Tita Baby [Must Be Love]. Meh XD

I love my pakner in crime Kuku Crunch ^^

Ayon gabi nako umuwi. Pagod nako kaya bagsak agad. I have a long exam this coming week so I'll just review at home today. I hope to get a perfect mark! Lol joke!

Time for Econ! :)

Love love,

You know what? Hmmm I can never rely on my decision-making.. because more often than not, it's only generally guided by my emotions or how I feel at A CERTAIN INSTANT. Let's just say that once I make a decision, it's never final. I am so passive even choosing what to have for lunch can take me yonks before I pick. Ironically, I can also be so impulsive what I consider my happiness, I run away from it. It takes a few minutes (or days or even months) before I realize what mess I just made. Like, what, did I really just say/do that?!?! Really.. Then I'll be left bombarded with so many whys I simply cannot stop my brain from thinking that I sometimes wish it also has a shut down function similar to a computer.  Something so irrational, I might consider rational and what could be rational, I might think it's irrational. Is it just me or am I really weird?

Love love,

Dear Reader,

I write in English. But I'm not a spokening dollar. 'Di rin naman ako maarte. My mother tongue is Filipino. I am 100% Pinoy (and I'm proud of it)! I just feel like I need to write in English so that more people could relate to what I'm talking about here.

Love,
Tala :]

Why take a lot of "selfie"?

Tonight, I just want to make a short entry on how much I appreciate photography blogs. It's always fascinating how a simple four-sided  photograph can instantly make me fall in love. Some photographers are so good they can evoke mixed up emotions outta me through pieces of their static crafts. This is why I always try to return to such blogs whenever I get the chance.

I also dream of capturing peculiar yet meaningful photographs one day. For now, I try to live this desire by taking random snapshots using my low quality phone camera and an editing application I downloaded from App Store. Sometimes, quality is ridiculously low though that I simply satisfy myself with looking at other people's masterpiece while I only end up taking lots of selfies.

Love,
Tala :]

Something B1G

Don't get me wrong okay, I'm no jeje girl. Or at least not anymore. Hehe. So what's with the title Something B1G? It is the first of July and I just made a big decision; it's like new month, new life for me. My daily routine typically revolves around playing video games, watching movies, going to school (or studying if you will) and most of all surfing the internet doing nothing but stare and switch tabs among Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr which consumes about 40% of my day and eats up the biggest portion of my time. That's to give you an idea how big it is for me that, today, I finally decided to have my Facebook and Twitter accounts deactivated. It's like taking away 40% of my daily routine and now I don't know where to go and what to do.

Actually, this is not my first time to do such. But whenever I deactivate my account, I only deactivate either Facebook OR Twitter. This time, I deactivated the aforementioned accounts simultaneously. Well let's just say that I realized how much I have been neglecting most of the things that really matter, acads in particular. On another note, I have been wasting so much time mooning over about what's already in the past when I'm supposed to be getting my nose off certain people's lives. Not that I should forget about them, they're already a part of my life and I cannot do anything about it. When I love and care about someone, it's always deep and true. I'm not the type who eventually forgets people who made me feel happy and special once in my life. Never. So the least that I could do now is to stay away from the things that can provoke my overly attached self lol. Hence, deactivating what I consider my very significant accounts, hihi. Call me emotional or sentimental or whatever, that's just how I am. I even have a collection of razor blades inside my closet.

..Now you know what led me to updating this blog again. Peace! Mind you, I have even customized this blog for at least 6 hours.. still not satisfied. How I wish I'm also this persistent when it comes to more important things in life like writing academic papers.. or dealing with you. Joke! Anyway, it's just a couple of hours ago and I'm already missing Twitter and Facebook, esp the people I'm usually interacting with. I really hope to get used to this kind of life soon. Besides, this is only temporary. I still intend to get back to social networking sites once I'm finally done with my responsibilities. I shall return.

I still have so much to do and I don't know how to finish them in time. I'm so overwhelmed there's just too much to be done for tomorrow. In college, you don't simply have to review everything at home and practice, instead you will have to learn almost everything by yourself and that's what makes it difficult. Haaay, college life is really different. It's like 10x more challenging than high school and I will never get used to this!

Love love,
Tala :]
