JUST ONE MOMENT YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT A SAD STORY

3 more hours and 2013 will be over. I can't believe it. This year will be another blur for all of us but let us not forget the things that happened to us, good and bad. There were good ones, too good you want to stay in that moment forever, and there were bad. Too bad, you can't even stand the feeling you get when it crosses your mind. But without the bad, you won't learn. So I'm very thankful for this year. It has been a traumatizing one, I tell you. There's the pressure created by school, people leaving, typhoons paying our country a visit etc., etc. So let this year be a lesson to us all. And let this year remind us that *:･ﾟ✧ *:･ﾟafter a hurricane, there comes a rainbow *:･ﾟ✧ *:･ﾟThis is too cliché, but it's true. You can always make up for every mistake you've done, for every bad decision you made, for every word you've said. That's the essence of new years. It's a new beginning, and it's another chance for you to refresh things. Okay this sounds too sappy.

So to make this short and straight to the point, this post for everyone I know. For everyone who did good and bad to me; this is for you. This post is for the things I've done. This is for the days I found light in the darkest of times. 

2014 is going to be one hell of a ride, for reasons too complicated I cannot find the right words. I'll be seventeen in six months, can you believe it? 

So yeah.

THANK YOU. 

December Twenty-Fifth

Merry Christmas, everybody! I don't really know what this post is about...but this is a shout out to everyone who's feeling gloomy and lonely. Stop being sad, there are still a lot of Christmas eves to come! 

So...

MERRY CHRISTMAS, YOU BASTARDS!!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!

THANKS FOR GIVING ME 5,000++ VIEWS, I APPRECIATE IT.

A lot of things happened in a span of 4 weeks and all I could say is: I'M TIRED; but it's all  worth it. There have been a lot of plot twists I'd have to deal with (read: my grade in Physics) and it's kind of traumatizing. Being a senior is not a joke; you always feel like you are running out of time and every time you hear a ticking sound, it's like there's this cosmic clock following you everywhere and all of a sudden just stand there and zone out for the next 3 minutes and think about what you're doing. But zoning out is not a very ideal thing to do when you're chasing deadlines and cutting every sleeping hour you got. So to sum up this thought I'm trying to lay down in words, I've been dodging off these ~plot twists~ just so I could do all the things I'm required to do. In short, just move on and get on with it. But of course 97% of you don't even know what I'm talking about so let's just talk about other "things":

• IT IS FINALLY OUT. I literally jumped around the house for two minutes the moment I saw this. Because a year and six months ago, I was just poring all over this book in a couch and not it's a movie AND I JUST. I can't wait for this movie and its poisonous plot. The book is very important to me and by "very", I mean very. It stayed with me, with my whole being. I read this on my fifteenth birthday, which is very special because I received the gift of understanding the implications of loving someone. So I'm expecting a tear-jerker right here. I'm really hoping the movie would live up the standards of the book. But I think I don't need to worry because I have a strong feeling this movie will be great.

"ONE SICK OVE STORY" Was that a pun HAHAHAHA

• One of the worse things that happened to me is not being able to catch up with the books I'm reading. I have a lot of unfinished novels and that makes me sad because I can't just leave my schoolwork hanging everywhere. I'm done with that phase (naks). Remember that post I made about being productive during sembreak? Well that plan didn't really work out because all I ever did was sleep and do unproductive things like... sleep. But since 2013 is almost done... well, what's a good 6 hours of non-stopreading, right? Hehe. 

Finally got a hold of this baby! But like what I said, I stopped reading for a while because I have a thesis to finish, a subject to ~avenge~ and performance tasks to gurgle over. I'm no in the middle of the novel (thanks for Christmas vacations) and this novel actually influenced me to order Gingerbread Latte at Starbucks because 1) Gingerbread Lattes are great 2) It's a featured Starbucks beverage for Christmas which can help you earn stickers, by the way on the left side (probably the hardest set of stickers to earn because you never know if the featured beverage is good or bad or whatevs) and; 3) Please refer to numbers 1 and 2. 

And that's how you relate books to lattes and stickers. Kidding.

Also, my never-ending desire to own a physical copy of Palahniuk's work might come to an end because IT'S CHRISTMAS. Christmas means free money and I think I could snatch a few bucks from my allowance to buy a copy or two? Because if I did, then I would probably give myself a pat in the back for purchasing something so precious. Also Eugenides' The Virgin Suicides! I've read it, yes, but owning a physical copy keeps on plugging at my heart because that book is so sad that I want to keep it forever somewhere in a corner; in case I forget to feel something. A sad book is a good start for remembering...

I know what you're thinking. That scary clown who walks around a small town somewhere in England. This is the first time I'm going to read Stephen King's work. This 1987 novel shows the real meaning of memory and childhood trauma. I love horror. But people say the ending will you cry like a baby. I love how mysterious this novel is. And yup, I am planning to finish this a-thousand-and-ninety wonder. 

• I SAW UP DHARMA DOWN LIVE!!!! In my school!!!! This time it's pretty special because I was with my friends and you know, good friends + good music = perfect match. And I can't help but feel giddy because they sang all my favorite songs!!! God bless this band, really. The crowd was great, they kept on singing the lyrics. I missed concerts and small shows like this. Makes me feel less sad. Even though UDD's songs scream sadness and unrequited love. I still can't stop thinking about their set. I want to see them again.
• You should see the movie Stuck In Love. I've known this movie for almost a year now, but it took me quite a while to see it. It's a very touching movie about uhh, love, and how scary it is. I loved Nat Wolff. He is now in my To Do List. HEH. But seriously, his acting is great and speaking of Nat Wolff, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM PLAY ISAAC IN THE TFIOS MOVIE!!! But okay, back to the movie. Uhh, this movie made me cry JUST BECAUSE. I don't know, the emotions were so strong and I thought this movie was one of those without predictable stories (it kind of is) but I really loved it. Please see it now. 
• I made nine mixtapes for my good friends. It's been two years since the mixtape drama with this guy and I guess this time I'm kind of happy with what I did??? I guess this is how I see vengeance and anger: NO MIXTAPE FOR HIM. 

So that's it for now, I guess? Sorry for being so lame. This has been a very great year. Traumatic, yeah, but very memorable. And I just realized that I wan't talking about current events that are happening around us. These are things that are happening to me. 

Finally have something worth telling a story about, LOL. 

CAUGHT BENEATH THE LANDSLIDE

I guess I kind of drowned in the ocean of TV shows and movies. I really thought this sembreak would turn out great and productive but all I did was sleep and eat mac & cheese. Pretty disappointing, I know. I spent five days out of the house--slept over my aunt's house and slept over Lara's. It was fun despite the absence of Magnificent and Awesome things (we were incapable of doing such things because we don't have much money in our pockets but we managed). 

Anyway before I share dull and boring details, I would like to present to you, ladies and gentlemen, My Mad Fat Diary. Judging from the title, the show is in epistolary form, with Rae Earl (the main character) as the narrator. One word for this show: genius. Rae is this genuinely funny and witty girl who's mad for music (DEFINITELY A BIG YES) and I  can say that she's a teen goddess because 1) her view on boys is A+ and; 2) the way she looks at life is bombing through me and it screams "YES" and; 3) please refer to 1 and 2. Maybe this show is made for us confused and lost teenagers out there who like to explore the channels of teenagerism or whatever. This series is the bomb, really. All your insecurities are played like a montage and at the same time, like a an angel on your side, it tells you how to deal with things and get over it. It's very inspirational and I fell in love with how honest to the core the show is. It's not everyday you stumble upon something great on youtube. 

And I know I'm not this humanitarian who likes giving life lessons to drug addicts or whatever--given the fact that I'm not the one for giving advice because I SUCK--but after watching this show, I felt a bit more confident about myself and yup I should shut up LOL. And... you're beautiful, you really are and one day you're gonna find someone who's going to  accept you for who you are and love you unconditionally (note to self); watching this show can help you get over yourself, maybe. Maybe not. But really, THIS IS A GENIUS SHOW HUHUHU. Human beings my age should watch this, that's all. 

 ~The Gang~ 

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS HAHAHA. Apparently hugging is a no no unless you want to get friendzoned. HAHAHAHA

[DRAMATIC MUSIC] I would like you to meet this magnificent slice of bread named Finn. There are two main guys on the show, by the way. But Finn came out of nowhere and Rae is smitten all of a sudden but who can blame her?! I mean, look at him. It's like he's created by the special gods hidden on an enchanted cave or something. 

so cute (╯°□°）╯┻━┻

And can I just say that it has the best soundtrack ever? The show is set on the 90s and you know what I mean. Oasis and Radiohead, yup.

Songs from this album are used in the show, if I'm not mistaken? This is a very special album to me because it brings my body to nirvana* and hearing a song or two in this show pretty much hit me right there. This is what you call serendipity. I wasn't really looking for this particular series in the first place; I found it myself somewhere in the valley of the coolest corner of the internet and now it's carefully placed in my heart. I thank jesus everyday for this huh. 

That's all you need to know. Watch the first episode here!

*nirvana means peace okay; I wasn't talking about the band. 

Some Days

Sembreak officially starts TODAY. I never expected four months to be this short. There have been a lot of plot twists; some good, some bad. I never expected being a senior is this hard and to be completely honest with you, it's depressing. I'm always tired and sad (haha) and I've never felt such strong feelings for sleep. It's a longing feeling and it's very sad. BUT like I said, sembreak starts today and I am free to do anything I want. I kind of abandoned my blogging duties (kung meron hehe) and I feel sorry for myself because I don't know how to balance my time, not when I'm bombarded with performance tasks and deadlines. But at least I am prioritizing my responsibilities HEH. 

Anyway, I think this break is carefully engineered by Jesus himself to make up for my failed attempts to have a proper vacation and to do various summer things like going to the beach and Soaking Under The Sun, Listening To Cool Tunes (I'm still bitter over not going to the beach last summer; I really wanted to.) But this time I am armed with a lot of plans and I can't wait to share it with you!!! HOORAY. 

I wish I could post something worth reading right now but I guess I'm just so happy because there will be no school for nine days and I am truly blessed hihi. This also goes out to my batchmates who made it through this sem. Give it another hoopla and it will all be over. Basically senior year is about ~savoring~ the moment. It's the perfect time to just BE, despite the number of requirements bombarding our poor little backs. I hope you get it. 

So here's a few songs to feed this euphoric moment of realizing that there will be no school for nine. Fricking. Days.

Listen to this song. The lyrics are good and pretty relevant to what I'm going through right now... actually, no, scratch that. It's relevant to what we're going through right now. This song makes me so happy and hopeful and I don't know. I've been dwelling too much on a lot of songs; it either makes me too sad or too ecstatic to even function. It's a good thing, I guess?

Well I hope this sembreak turns out to be one of the best. I'm really looking forward to a lot of things like hanging out with my lovely friends while listening to cool songs or maybe go somewhere far (a.k.a. Baguio WOOO). I hope you have a great sembreak ahead of you! Spend it wisely! ☆＾▽＾☆

Two More Weeeeeeeks

Sembreak in two weeks [YELLS FOR EVERY TIRED AND WASTED STUDENT] and I'm more than excited to do things and go places. Despite the short amount of Vacation lying ahead of me, I'm still thankful to have a week's worth of productivity in sleeping and doing things I love. And so I'm here to share you some cool tunes. I know you'll like them.
I present to you, my friends, The 1975. For months I've been seeing tweets about how good this band is and sure enough, I gave them a try AND I INSTANTLY FELL IN LOVE WITH THEM. I mean, jesus, it took me 3 months. And yes, they are British lads. And you know how it is in the UK; they always have this breathy, euphoric beats in every song and you just never get tired of it. One of my favorites from their self-titled album is The City. GIVE IT A LISTEN.
YOU SHOULD ALSO LISTEN TO THEIR SONG Chocolate!!! Also Robbers and Menswear. You should probably just give their new album a listen, yes. I'm planning to own a physical copy; it's that good. 
I just found out that y very good friend, Steven, is a fan of Arctic Monkeys and I basically jumped up and down when he told me. Hi Steven (yes Steven Comandante, you) this goes out for you. I am really in love with song. It's ridiculously good and it reminds me of... this person. I feel like I'm this suave mister at 21 who walks around town whenever I listen to this song REALLY. 
ANYWAY, American Horror Story: Coven came out last week OH, MY GOD. First episode and someone important dies already but don't worry, he'll back. This is horror (and witchcraft, might I add), my friends. There are a lot of stretches and twists. I liked Asylum but it never really clicked within me but Coven sure did. TAISSA FARMIGA IS BACK, EVERYONE. And she's a witch and I love her character so much. Emma Roberts is part of the cast, too but.... I can't believe I'm saying this but... I do not approve. I mean, yes I loved how they cast her as a movie star but I think her relationship with Evan Peters ruined the plot for me; I am very sorry. PLS DON'T SUE ME. Anyway I hope the ship sails on between Kyle and Zoe because if not, then I'll throw a fit and cry fifty-six bags of stones. 

LOOK AT THEM OH MY GOD THIS IS DEPRESSING. 

jesus take the wheel may the lord bless us all with his glory
The stars are all alined for me and the odds are in my favor. Sembreak will be fun these babies and I can't wait HEHEEHHEHE. 
But before that, I would like to say that I'm very tired and there are a lot of  requirements everywhere I'm crying. And sometimes

Art School

I finally finished this book! (And, might I add that I finally own this book. I started reading this in Fully Booked and yup, I never bought it. I would like to send my deepest apologies to Fully Booked for abusing my rights and privileges as a reader. I promise to see myself as  a better individual and most importantly, in this case, as a consumer. Anyway, it's looking good with all the other books in my self-proclaimed bookshelf.) (More of that in the future.) 

This book is good. Nothing more, nothing less. Sure the word "good" doesn't give it justice but I think this is one of those things that when given more compliments, it becomes nauseatingly bad and irksome. It's like giving a child too much of what he wants; and it's bad for his health. Don't get me wrong, I loved this book. I gave it five stars in Goodreads. The characters are so... true and  the author did a pretty great job in telling the story of the alienating adult world. Decisions, the pressure, realizations and the fear of growing up. 

Colby and Bev have a long-standing pact: graduate, hit the road with Bev's band, and then spend the year wandering around Europe. But moments after the tour kicks off, Bev makes a shocking announcement: she's abandoning their plans - and Colby - to start college in the fall. 
 But the show must go on and The Disenchantments weave through the Pacific Northwest, playing in small towns and dingy venues, while roadie- Colby struggles to deal with Bev's already-growing distance and the most important question of all: what's next?

The alternate cover. 

And of course there's always The Perfect Actress/Actor for This Character. Lily Loveless has always been Bev for me. The girl on the cover, the one wearing the yellow cardigan, is gorgeous and perfect BUT THIS IS LILY LOVELESS. Her metallic blonde hair and SHE'S LILY FREAKING LOVELESS. (And no, I'm not going to talk about Skins and Naomi and Emily right now.)

Also, I can't stop thinking about the VW van, Melinda. In my head, it's this robin's egg blue van, pretty old with a few rusts in the delicate sides. (No picture for you to see what I mean, I want you to visualize it on your own hehe.) It's my favorite object in the book. I don't know, I think it's because we used to own a red one. I used to ride in it with my uncle and it was very glorious, wow??? He'd pick me up in school with that van. I miss it so much and I think that's why I fell in love with this book? I regret not giving it a name like it was my pet, like it was mine. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE MY FAMILY SOLD IT TO SOME STRANGER IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. HEY FAMILY I HOPE YOU'RE READING THIS, I'M STILL MAD. 

Anyway, watching book trailers is not my hobby but this one gave me an idea about the places they've been, the people they met and the things they did. Turns out that it's pretty close to what I was imagining while reading hehehe. 

And of course, the soundtrack of the whole trip. This is my first time to hear this song and wow, why am I not a fan of girl bands? Then came The Marvelettes and Heart. I have yet to listen to their music but I think the way Alexa and Meg drools over these bands, I know they won't disappoint. 
I wish to encounter another novel like this: vibrant and screaming with music. Thank God for Nina LaCour. You should definitely read this book. 

So...

...we're almost done with 2013. Give it four months and 2014 will burst out of nowhere. I know, it sounds so weird because everything happened so fast. It's like we're running 250 miles per hour and there's no stopping us. More often than not, unexpected things--bad things--happen. Believe me, it gets really hard. But I have learned something very important the past month. I don't know why I haven't thought of it in such a long time. It's living in the now that's important. Swallowing the moment's temporary atmosphere. Good or bad, it brings us something we will forever have inside: a virtue and a lesson. 

And so I would like you to watch this. It's a movie called The Spectacular Now. Starring Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley (both are in the Divergent movie, it's funny, I don't know). 

"Sutter Keely (Miles Teller) lives in the now. A high school senior, charming and self-possessed, he’s the life of the party, loves his job at a men’s clothing store, and has no plans for the future. A budding alcoholic, he’s never far from his supersized, whisky-fortified Thirst Master cup. But after being dumped by his girlfriend, Sutter gets drunk and wakes up on a lawn with Aimee Finecky (Shailene Woodley) hovering over him. She’s different: the “nice girl” who reads science fiction and doesn’t have a boyfriend. While Aimee has dreams of a future, Sutter lives in the impressive delusion of a spectacular now."

I'm not saying that planning about the future is bad. It's all about stopping and looking beyond. There's more to life than just to exist; you have to live. (Okay this sounds so cheesy and sticky and corny but I just have to let this out, yeah). 

Also, another movie! 

The first time I saw this movie... I cried. (Especially when Tessa came home form the hospital and her name was everywhere AND OKAY). Judging from the title, whatever happened in the past or what tomorrow will bring, it's always good to have now. 

Just don't be scared about the future. 

Do or Die: Part II

UPCAT two weeks ago. I was basically holding onto myself and telling myself that it isn't the end of the world, that I can do this and that, there are way too many chances for me to get in, hey stop doing that to yourself and blah blah blah BUT WHO AM I KIDDING. They said 83,000++ senior students took the UPCAT. And I wanted to go home and sleep because I can feel the pressure seeping through me and I JUST WANT TO ESCAPE. I wanted to cry and curse UP for the right-minus-wrong thing. But I can't do anything about it. "Screw it," I muttered to myself. I opened the car door and I almost fell on the slippery sidewalk. It was raining and I thought WOW IS THIS A BAD OMEN? My dad said the almost-accident took away the bad omen and that I'll do good.

And then I'm inside this room with white lights screaming that my terrible fate is nearing and that resistance is futile, I have to shade these oblongs. And so I did. It was worse than I thought but I managed to answer with pure reasoning. Trusting my instincts helped a lot so, thank you, instincts. I owe you. And goddamn, was Science hard?! My brain was jumping up and down and I was screaming inside. "What are vacuoles", "WHERE THE HELL CAN WE FIND THE MITHOCONDRIA", "do these phenotypes and genotypes really exist" "This is so stupid why do you have to know the speed of the car". 

And the rest I don't want to talk about. The five-hour exam is finally O-V-E-R over. I ate two barbecues to celebrate. This stall in front of Law Center sells good barbecue and I can see myself eating here. But then again, I still have to pass the UPCAT to eat barbecues. 

Anyway my dad and I explored the whole school for fun. One of the reasons why I want to study here is because of the number of trees surrounding the whole campus. It was amazing and so I took pictures. I felt like a tourist lost in a city. No, not a city, but a tourist lost in... her thoughts. (Wow so emo.)

The very famous Oblation. The moment I saw it, I told myself that I have to pass the UPCAT. There were goosebumps at the back of my head and I wanted to.... cry. I know, so melodramatic; so pathetic. This is my dream school. This will always be my dream school. I would have these intentional nods whenever I hear someone talk about UP. I would think about that glorious feeling. And just... okay. 

My birthday is on June 10th and I got all giddy when I saw this. Jack Barakat was born on June 18th, Pete Wentz on June 5th, my best friend, Sam, June 3rd. Magnificent things happen every month of June. I am blessed HEHEHEHEH.

can we all look at the traffic 

thank u america thank u so much

tourist photo #1 HEHEHEHE i felt so stupid when i took this photo oh my god but hey, my chucks look pretty, don't they? i love them they're my favorite

this place is so peaceful

tourist photo #2 hahahaha i'm sorry i just have to 

This is my favorite photo of all. I don't know why. I think it's the fact that you don't have to edit this photo...

COLLEGE OF ARTS & LETTERS. DID YOU KNOW THAT MY FIRST COURSE CHOICE IS ENGLISH STUDIES AND MY SECOND IS JOURNALISM? YOU DIDN'T? WELL NOW YOU DO. Okay so if the odds are in my favor, I'd be studying here and I would walk around here everyday and there are feels I can't explain. (English studies and Journalism are part of college of arts & letters right....??)

So yup. This is the prologue of my college life. 

til tonight do us part

I was starting to feel like my favorite band has betrayed me, for not making any announcements, for not mentioning their band's previous achievements and for not talking about their songs and the year 2006. I was losing hope. But then, six months ago, Fall Out Boy decided to come back and save rock and roll. I was in complete and utter shock because it was all of a sudden. Well I was kind of expecting it to happen, since a lot of people from the music industry are giving off hints on twitter and other social networking sites that Fall Out Boy are coming back and are planning to have a reunion. But there are still doubts like, "Hey, this is just a hoax." I wasn't too lax on the idea of them coming back, unless the band announced it themselves. 

On the night of February 3, 2013, I was on twitter and people are starting to panic: typing on caps lock, tLAKing lieK THiss!!, and the words "fall out boy" can be seen in every tweet. I started to join the commotion as well because my feelings... can't. I read somewhere that "Fall Out Boy are making a big announcement on Q87.7 tomorrow morning!"And that's it. I started screaming and jumping and crying AND EVERYTHING FELT SO RIGHT. Everything was in place, and it felt so good to be alive. The big announcement came and then came the new single. February 4, 2013. They are officially back and no one can stop them. I still remember this post I made from February. Four years worth of waiting, those nights spent on listening to Chicago Is So Two Years Ago and feeling nostalgic. I can definitely say that it was all so worth it. 

Fast-forward to August. This is it, I thought. I'm going to see them live for the first time and I still can't believe it. And so the show began and my ten-year old self is screaming with delight and it's 2007 all over again. I remember the first time I saw them, in a magazine, confused of their identities, and why this certain guy is wearing eyeliner. Thriller's beat brought it all back and I can feel the pulse of the crowd. We were all singing and it felt glorious. 

I don't want to bore you with a long post of how I spent my Thursday night with the anti-heroes, and the band who stand up for the weirdoes. But I can definitely say that if I were to be asked about the people I look up to, Fall Out Boy will be on top of the list. Their performance is not just something we have to rate or whatsoever, it's something we have to remember. You were with the crowd, your lungs are giving out because of singing, the pulsing of the lights, the glorious feeling you get--that's something you have to keep. Fall Out Boy made it all happen. From the long wait in line to the spiels and the screaming roar of agreement of the crowd. Fall Out Boy was, as Fiel mentioned it on her blog, so raw and magnetic. I can't even put to words how amazing they are and I'm running out of adjectives. And nouns. Whatever. 

Thank you, Fall Out Boy, for not letting us down and for making us feel contagious. 

Do or Die: Part I

A few weeks back, Sam and I went to La Salle to pass our college application forms. I woke up late and wow what's new. So then I went to Sam's place and we took off. On the way to Sam's mom's place we kept on muttering things like "oh my god we're so independent," "WOW COLLEGE" "so teenager of us". It felt so different and it's like we're taking a step forward into the future and then the next day, we'll be back in the past and blah blah blah. Long story short, we can't wait for college but we also don't want to high school to end. 

And so we were greeted by the buzzing and hustling of the jeepneys and the street vendors and the smell of street food. I can't help but think how Filipino I am in the future and every single moment I take the streets of Manila, an Up Dharma Down song plays. Anyhoo, we arrived in La Salle and ran into Lara, Erika, Maye, Reisha, Max and Paola. (DID I MISS SOMEONE OMG I HOPE NOT).

The fangirling commenced between Sam and I because this sight said to hello to us. It's so big I think it can be converted into a museum. And it felt a lot like New York to me, even though I've never been to New York. The pictures don't even give justice to how big and ~industrial~ it looks in real life.

riding the escalatorZZzz wooo

This is the i-don't-knowth floor of the building. (((Ideal place for photo shoots hehe)))

People, this is the Yuchenco Hall. Judging from the tarp welcoming you at the entrance, art runs everywhere in this building (I think so. LOL if not please don't sue me). I seriously stopped and clutched my chest. It's so beautiful hhhhhh. We wanted to enter the building and ~tour~ around but we were too shy because students crowded the area and we didn't want to look like we're intruding their space. We didn't want to feel like we're the feelingera frogs HEHE. 

But much to my dismay, I wasn't able to pass my forms because my recommendation forms were incomplete and I wanted to punch myself for seventy-eight times. But whatever at least I got to explore Taft with my best friend. 

WE HAD BON CHON IN U-MALL SO COOL. Sam bought me a bracelet weeee. (I have no picture but it's cute. Thank you, Samantha).

Bon Chon is love and love is real. We love Bon Chon. Bon Chon forever. Bon Chon amen.

This plastic bag is for Lara Ackermann.

And then the awesomest thing happened. We were walking down the road looking for a jeep when we found this alley full of graffiti. I turned my head right and I stopped and gasped like GASPED. And I screamed Sam's name and we entered the place despite the "no trespassers" sign. It looks like a parking lot to me but I don't think they fit in a parking lot where people park their cars or piss on the walls behind the bumper of their cars. I want the people of Taft Avenue to renovate this place and make it look like an art gallery. 

i lyk dis a lot

This unexpected moment make me want to restore my faith in humanity. 

We went to CSB and we were thinking about going inside. But since it's already late and the admissions office were closed, we ended up sitting in one of those little things in front of the building. 

We went back to Sam's mom's place and we were so amazed by how the trip took less than 15 minutes. No traffic, just love. 

And then Sam's cute mother took us to Glorietta, along with her brother. We had J.Co and it was great. It was my first time to have J.Co and it was so good I wanna cry. And we had these little chocolate shakes and it was also very good huhu God bless J.Co.

FREE DONUT I LOVE THE WORLD

In conclusion, I liked La Salle very much. 

(Teaser: this is just part I so clearly, there will be part II. Or III.)(If you care.)
