5MR # 8

Haven't been updating this blog due to various academic and procrastination priorities.
Anyhoo, I've decided to (finally) jump on the Wordpress bandwagon. Still making it as of now, but hopefully, it'll come out as soon as possible.

Therefore, I officially bid my farewell to Blogspot.

 It's been a nice year with you, but times are a'changing.

5MR # 7 - FAM

It's just one of those days where 24 hours is simply not enough.
So in the little five minutes that I have for now, this photo dump will be dedicated to my two high school best friends, Mia and Zy, who just turned a year older in this lovely month of February.
Love you girls! Let's have a decent Ovoo date soon, please? I miss your pretty faces and shrieks of laughter.

Summer of 2009, in Sushi Tei!

Andy's birthday at Sizzler's (?)

Our infamous Taman Safari, where we adopted the cutest baby orangutan

After watching the Cowboy show

Where we decided it was cool to go to the cinemas in our pajamas and sandals

In yet another shisha date. Why the serious face, Zy?

5MR #6

I hope you can't tell the dark lines of the eyebags that have been forming recently.
This is the face I make when I'm alone and bothered by ________. (numerous things). Can't you tell it is a cutie-patootie face?
I have yet to post anything substantial beyond my rants and rambling random thoughts. But I promise I will, soon enough.
Give me a week and it shall be done.
Until then, wish me luck in everything.

2 more months. 2 more months.

5MR #5

I'd like to share something on Tumblr 2 minutes ago 


“She needs a new journal. The one she has is problematic. To get to the present, she needs to page through the past, and when she does, she remembers things, and her new journal entries become, for the most part, reactions to the days she regrets, wants to correct, rewrite.”

—	Dave Eggers, How the Water Feels to the Fishes

All I can say is that this is fucking powerful. I won't even bother attempting to decipher this here, because it says it all. 

5MR # 4 - Crammer's Delight

When the tensions are high and the list of to-dos just seems to quadruple itself, the best and seemingly only way to cope with it is characterized through one single verb - cramming.
Cramming - a significant period when one's short-memory skills are ultimately put to the test to absorb enormous amounts of information/catch up on errands to make up for lost time. Not necessarily limited to tests and quizzes. Often a product of procrastination. Sleep deprivation and a short temper might follow. A solution to this is to take a Stresstab and not let unnecessary distractions get the best of you. 

I've been ranting a lot about my poor time management skills, but I have high hopes that this weekend will be different. I will test myself - this time, I will follow through with the schedule I made (yes, that's how I spend my Friday nights... for now). 


Fingers crossed, please. 


PS. Remember how I accepted my scatterbrained of a character ever so lovingly? 
Well, scratch that. 

5MR #3 - Sing Me to Sleep

Thank you sleep, that was all I needed.
The jog today didn't give me the runner's high I wanted.
Afterwards, instead of feeling the serotonin, I felt sort of bland - the feeling were you just wanted to push everything aside and not think about it anymore. Maybe it was the overwhelming sensation or the lack of self-esteem, but the feeling felt like my mind had shut down temporarily. A Stresstab pill, four slices of pizza and a kwento session later, nothing distracted me from this negativity.
This was the first time I felt de-motivated to do anything anymore - usually, I take everything with a hands-on drive but this time, I just felt blah.
I figured that nothing productive would come out of me if this kind of pessimism would continue, so I dived into the covers and slept like a disgruntled baby.
Now it's almost six in the morning and am trying make up for the lost time.
And now I'm back in the game.

January in Pictures

The month of January 

January 2 at Batangas. Spent it with the family. My sister trying out her new DLSR camera. Kind of makes me want to get one, but not really. I'll put in my ever-growing wishlist.
