Day 4: Bullet Your Day

This will be a very short post considering how uneventful my summer days are. 

So today I...

• Woke up (duh)
• Personal hygiene-y things and breakfast
• Church
• Lunch
• Home
• Cleaned up my room
• Crazy dance session with my little sis
• Internet hogging
• Dinner
• More internet hogging

See how exciting my life iiiis? :3

Day 3: A Book That You Love

I never thought it'd all come down to this. 
As a self-confessed bibliophile, I guess you can imagine how this feels like. Grr. But in the end, I had to pick. I love a whole lot of books and series, definitely but if I were to choose just one, it'd be The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. 

Cassandra Clare takes twists to another level! *Spoiler witheld* The 1st of her 6-Book series was amazing and honestly, very, very honestly, it's the first book that made me cry. (Yes, a fantasy-action book made me cry) Describing it without spoiling anything is excruciatingly difficult and me summarizing stories often ends up badly. It's basically about a girl, Clary who discovered the world of demon-hunting Angelic beings called Shadowhunters. (See, that descripiton sucked) XD But I swear, it is an amazing read that'll leave you laughing at Jace's sarcasm, then gushing at his and Clary's romance, then crying over Alec and Magnus, then tossing the book at what a douche Valentine is. You'd get feels you never thought you could have! (Seriously)

To sum this up in two words, read iiiit. It's really worth a shot. 

(And the movie's coming up! August 23, 2013. Mark your calendars!)

30-Day Blog Challenge Day 2: Something You Feel Strongly About

We are alive because we have to learn. Life itself is our teacher.

Yeah, we've heard that over and over again. Experience is the best teacher. But only now do I realize that everything in the world really is  a lesson and in the end, we often end up laughing at how hard it was for us to learn those lessons. When they told me that high school is a roller coaster ride, I never thought that it would be this crazy. just like a roller coaster ride, there are some sharp turns and twists that freak us out at first and make us cry or scream or yell for our mommies but ones we face an even bigger, scarier loop, we look back at that smaller one, laugh and start praying to have that littler one again. But being on the bigger loop becomes a lot less daunting since learning from the first one, we learn to trust that our safety belts won't suddenly click open and leave us freefalling. 

Ergo, now I can say that since life is a huge lesson in itself, we can never say that we've learned enough because if we have, well, life just isn't life anymore.

30-Day Blog Challenge Day 1: 5 Ways to Win My Heart

[This post goes out to some unfortunate, probably blind and lonely martian boy who might actually like me]

First of all, I have to say that this post is funny because... well, just because. 

Anywho, it's time to commence the 30-Day Blog challenge with: 

5 Ways to Win My Heart

Read with me Okay, this doesn't necessarily mean literally reading with me (I'm very much capable of deciphering combinations of the Phoenician-inspired alphabet, thank you very much) But it just means that I'd really really love someone I can nerd out with. Someone who can talk in fandom language, appreciate every single "feel" with me, share my OTPs, predict sequels and criticize movie adaptations with. There's nothing wrong with being geeky, honestly if it's up to me. You'd be weird if you were un-geeky. 

Sing (Or at least make me a playlist) Nothing and I mean, nothing is more romantic than having someone pick out songs meant for no one but you. Plus, having someone actually sing them to you would be... oh, heaven. 

Bake with me Hey, the stomach's not just that way to a man's heart. It's a one way ticket to mine, definitely. Sweet tooth right here. Meehee.

Write Nothing bums me out more than a cute guy who can't even use proper grammar. On the other hand, cute guys who can write make me swoon. Plus, nothing beats seeing words that show stuff about someone that I've never known before while tugging at my heartstrings. 

Teach me to dance! (Or at least crazy dance with me) I've had a soft spot for dance since time and memorial but unfortunately, dance would file a restraining order against me if it could. Ergo, a guy who'd teach me to dance (HSM 3 rooftop scene, maybe? *eyebrow wiggle*) or dance with me like we were fighting over who could dance crazier would be great. 

So, to any guy who's blind or tasteless enough to like me, those are the top 5 ways to sneak your way right into my heart. :) I'm not that hard to impress. Pfff. All I need now is someone who'd actually need this list. -______-"

Boss Battle

And just when I thought I'd be able to blog more often because it's summer... Stuff get in the way. Oooof course. Well, I can make a whole list of them and I'd still find more reasons for not blogging frequently. (Most of it was procrastination, though)

So, here I go. To force myself to myself to blog more often, I shall now face the first boss battle of my short-lived, well-procrastinated blogger life: *drumroll, please* 

A 30-Day Blog Challenge!

I wish I could say I came up with this ingenius idea to stop me from being blog-lazy by myself buuut of course, my brain was too lazy to even remember taking up a blog challenge. So, if ever that person who I got this idea from *cough,LesleyAnneLopezErum,cough* sees this, I won't be liable of idea infringement or whatever its called. XD

Here it iiiis:

Now, all I have to do is kiss procrastination buh-bye, blog religiously aaaand cross all my fingers and toes that I don't suck at this. 

Carpe Diem

It's summer! The time to chill, procrastinate and make an unattainable bucket list! So, just to cut the story short, here's mine!

1. Write a lot.
2. Keep a journal.
3. Make French macaroons.
4. Earn money!
5. Travel alone. (I really don't know why but it sounds like so much fun!)
6. Sleepovers!
7. Reconnect with the piano.
8. Meet new people and make friends. (God, this one's impossible)
9. Sleep on a beach with stars, shooting stars, evening breeze and all.
10. Summer love and beyond! (Yes? ....no.)
11. New hair.
12. Books, books, and more books!
13. Finally finish writing Curtain Call.
14. Watch a horror movie alone. (Not at night, of course. Not that macho yet.)
15. Work out. (Seriously. I have changed. *insert sarcastic laughter here)
16. Do something for the better good of humanity. 
17. Bike to nowhere.

25. Experience getting drunk (I really dunno where this one came from.)
26. Make a summer playlist.
27. Finish making a playlist for Arielle and Xander! (They're characters from my story, Curtain Call but I love them THAT much.)
28. Prank calls! (Even if they went HORRIDLY wrong last time)
29. Watch a movie ALONE WITH HIM. (Well, there are three HIM's now... But... yeah.)
30. Make this summer worthy of being a memoir. :)

Summer's the one time for me to begin again, to pretend that the past never happened and to just live in the moment. 

So, here's to sun and sand, reading and writing, movies and moving, laughter and love.

Carpe diem. <3

Oh, Mr. Sun!

Aaaaaaand it's been ages since I've last blogged.

Oh, you can imagine how lost I was without my go-to rant place. ^_-

But how can you spell goodbye, Chem, goodbye, trig, goodbye geom and goodbye other less hellish subjects in one word?

S-U-M-M-E-R!
[Heck, Yeah! Technicolor!]

Mere words cannot express how happy I am for (barely) surviving Junior year. 

It has been one hell of a roller coaster ride from start til finish. And I must agree, I learned a whole lot of things this school year. 

1. Never, ever, ever judge a book by its cover.
2. Falling in love isn't the end of the world.
3. No, getting your heart broken isn't the end of the world either.
4. Some friends come and go while the others are for keeps.
5. It's never a sin to dream big.
6. Though it is a sin to remain silent. [Gee, thanks, CLE.]
7. Forgive and forget.
8. No overthinking ever again. Like, ever.
9. Fate works in silly ways.
10. Be brave.
11. Stoichiometry, proving identities, triangle inequality thingies, Noli Me Tangere and To Kill a Mockingbird do not make a good tasting cocktail.
12. Take chances.
13. YOLO! [That was hard to admit]
14. The boys in our class are really, really, really good singers.
15. Prom isn't as bad as its all thought to be.
16. There's a time and place for everything.
17. Be true to yourself.
18. Understand to be understood.
19. The truth sets you free. [Again, CLE. But sooo true]
20. AND! It's best to end the schoolyear with nice hugs from the right people. ^_-

So, I'm starting summer on a really high, only-dogs-can-hear-sounds-in-this-frequency positive note. Bye bye, rainy days. Hello, Mr. Sun.
