2013 Calendar

I usually just put up whatever calendar my mom gets from the bank or the drugstore when it becomes available. Last year, I put up a calendar in August. (I dunno why I didn't have until August :/) But now, I actually have one at the start of the year!

Boredom + lots of unused paper = 2013 calendar!

Anyway, I'll be posting my new years resolution progress in my old blog in Livejournal. I think this will be a goooood year!

Bruce, the bruise. I feel I'll be getting more of these in the near future...

1. Review Japanese

2. Review IST lessons

So far, more for the brain since my body's doing fine with dance and sports. 

AJA!

New Hair

Have this for almost a week now. I think bangs suit me better than without it. 

Museum Archivist

Most of my degree mates know that I wanted to be a librarian. It all started when I saw The Mummy and completely fell in love with Rachel Weisz's character, Evelyn. She was a librarian and I thought she was very cool. I wanted to be like her but since I'm a 'go with the flow' person, I'm now finishing a degree my father chose for me. 

Recently I've been looking at the UP library science degree and can't help to think that maybe it's time to pursue this. I was also looking at the kinds of jobs a library science degree holder can have. One of them was to become an archivist. I instantly wondered if there were archivists at the Louvre. (They probably have, it's such a famous museum.)

Museum + France + library science = ....?

Then a cray idea hit me. After I go finish my master's degree, practice for a bit and then move to Paris as a museum archivist. Then study french at the same time. Whew, I'd be happy to just be living a life like that.

I'm a 'go with the flow' type of person so if life gives me a chance, I would:

1. get a master's degree in library science

2. move to paris

3. study french (with korean and japanese on the side)

4. become a museum archivist

Oh la la watta daydreamer! =))

Resolutions

It's been a while since I made resolutions to do because I can't really keep them. Although that's the case, I'm determined to do these now. So, here they are:

a. Read at least 10 12 books

Need to finish Little Women, Currently reading Brida

I did 4 books in 2011 (or 4.5 because I didn't finish the other one, the book I borrowed was incomplete!). 3 of them finished in 3 days (but I had a lot of time then) so this year, I'm going for just 10 12. I discovered goodreads.com so that's where I'll look. I like Jane Austen books, stuff like the Hunger Games and Harry Potter and maybe some Goosebumps choose-your-adventure fun. Any good books to recommend?

Edit: 1 for every month, right?

b. Try all the drinks in Happy Lemon

Preferably once a week so I don't overload on the sugar and calories. Now I can't do the diet thing because of this.

c. Ride my bike at least once a week

Poor looking bike among the old things

Since I can't diet, I'll just do some biking on the weekend. I learned how to balance but I don't know if I can still do it. Wish me luck!

♥

Can't remember the last time I felt my heart flutter but it's a good feeling. 

Haggard Commute

Too many crazy things happened on my way to school, (that place where we meet before going to the party place):

1. MRT = No electricity

I don't know why the electricity in the MRT was out when the surrounding area had it. No choice but to ride the bus.

2. Broken shoes

My shoes broke (AGAIN. I think it likes to break itself on special occassions.) while I was riding a bus to the LRT. The bus didn't even give a warning that it went past the station so I had to walk back. On that walk I lost the underside of my left shoe. Just brilliant. So I asked those in the LRT station if I could borrow someone's slipper (Pakapalan na talaga ng muhka). There was just one guard who had slippers and thank goodness for that, or else I wouldn't be able to cross the road and buy shoes.

New shoes on my feet and off I go to Gox. I rode a pedicab because my shoes were wet enough as it is. Too bad because...

3. ID falling of Pedicab in the middle of the road

Yeah. And it was almost run over by a bus. Good thing that was the only thing that fell when my bag tumbled over in the Pedicab.


Thankfully it's nothing serious and I got to school safe (albeit wet haha). I really enjoyed the children's party today (especially the CAKE!). Woohoo! Happy Birthday Obra!

Book Sale

Book Sales always entice the book nerd in me so when I see one I always go and check the books up for sale. Generally, I try to limit myself to 1-2 books because 1. it's cheap, there's a huge margin to splurge. haha! and 2. there's a lot going on in life, there's really not much time to get cozy and read a book. 

So this time, it was National Bookstore's fault! Haha. I'm reading (or rather, procrastinating) Pride and Prejudice now and which I probably won't be able to finish since it's due on Friday (and I've had the book for like, more than a month already). Good thing the books I bought weren't meant to be read like a storybook.

Russian dictionary and a Japanese How-To guide for work clothes (which I absolutely have no need for and only bought for the sake of reading Japanese. Haha!). I might go and restart my learning the Russian language (on top of learning Japanese and Korean) if I'm not so lazy. All in all, it was only Php 135. Woohoo!

Anyway, I'm planning to take the Japanese Proficiency Test soon so I gotta study looooots.

A Pig's Life

Yeah, so I've been sick the past few days and it's the first time I felt how being sick really was. My eyes hurt, I had nose pain (or whatever that's called that makes breathing hurt) and my cough of 2 days got worse. 

I didn't go to school for three days and I've been living the life of a pig instead! Eat + Sleep! Haha. Hopefully my eyes feel better by monday or else I'd be too lazy to go to school again. Boo.

Leftovers from medicine overload.

PS. Sorry Jegs! Guilty ako sa text mo haha. Tetext dapat kita through chikka per for some reason, 'di daw pwede yung carrier ng number mo. 

Burgers

From now on I'll be saving half of my allowance everyday thanks to an article that told me I'd be a millionaire if I start now and save enough. By some time I'll be a millionaire so I can buy this!:

Burger bed by Kayla Kromer!

No, joke. But maybe Juno's burger phone will do.

Heehee.

2011 is really a year for new things. I've done so much already and it's only been 4 months into the year!

Biking

After riding my bike with training wheels for 5 minutes, naturally, it would bend up. I really am so heavy. (huhu) Anyway, I really don't want to waste money on having it fixed again so I went and tried to ride it. Fortunately, I was able to after an hour or so. After numerous skid marks, dirt on my legs and even an injury, finally, I know how to ride a bike!

Here's to getting thin this summer!

If I knew I'd be able to learn it in an hour or so, sana hindi ko nalang pinalanggyan. Super sayang money!

Finally Final

I finally finalized (is it legal to precede finalized with finally? haha) my summer schedule and I'll be starting with this schedule tomorrow. After making summer schedules for years, I think this year's the most eventful of them all. (Or maybe not, since violin practice appears 3 times :P)

Orange and Green Tea

Currently obsessed with the colors orange and matcha green tea.

Colors don't match but it's kind of like this shade haha

Here's a place for more matcha stuff on tumblr.

Aside from my plan to buy all things orange and matcha tea, I will probably do a revamp on this blog to make it matcha-licious. Woohoo!

It's sad to know that a lot of times the person you like won't really like you back. 

Although it's wasted effort to work hard and impress, the inspiration helps in other areas of life (like school!).

♥

Simple yet fun day

With just an hour of sleep, I woke and went to school at 9AM to pass our project only to find out that the next available demo slot would be at 4PM.

So I bummed at the nook.

Twitter, FB, Tumblr, allkpop... you name it. I even got to cleaning my school email inbox.

And thanks to Alfred for the Assassin's Creed entertainment. Haha!

Anyway, Murphy came and invited me to come with Alfred and Kristian to a meeting with Computer Science orgs of other universities (at Katipunan!). Had a fun ride in the car.

After that, we went back to school, arriving at exactly 4PM (whew!). The demo was smooth (and incredibly fast). After which I finally went home.

So now I'm going to watch some anime, practice my violin a little later and finally get some good sleep. Can't wait for the org turnover tomorrow! 

Here it is!

Meet my violin, Nodame :))

Bachendorff Concert Series with wood from Alaska! + strings from violin friend

(Couldn't get enough light inside so it's like this haha)

Watashi wa totemo happy desu! Hahaha

What's for dinner?

Bread, cookies from Irisse, oatmeal cookies, quezo de bola, banana, dark chocolate and milk.

Yumyumyumyumyum! Delicioso!

And...

Hi, says dweji-tokki. Hahaha!

I'll be there, so, wait for me!
