This is what Friday afternoons should feel like.

But it's Thursday, and it's only a slight breather before we plunge into hell (yet again!) next week. Whatever it is, I'm thankful :D

Things I hafta work on:

1. The musical's script

2. Songsss

3. Chem lec (exam next saturday!)

4. Bio lab. I swear our cat's meant for a museum, Tzu Chi's awfully stiff! Goodbye, thorough study of forelimb muscles.

In other news the bread crumbs are still on a neat trail, patiently waiting for someone to chance upon them and try to follow where they lead. Sigh.

Here's to a good Friday, and a productive + fun weekend ahead! :)

Darn.

I set an alarm for 12.30 to study for my exam, I woke up at 3. :| :| :| Now I'll hafta miss my first class to get things done. :|

Lessons:
x STUDY WHEN YOU CAN. Do not rely on study hours you make for yourself.
x Sleep at 8pm if you want to study from 12am. Any later = BOOM
x JUST DO IT!

I promise to use my study time wisely from now on, no more dillydallying. So help me, God. [-o<

Verses for The Broken

Eponine

Pearls of melancholy,

diamonds of despair:

jewels of solitude, my love,

that every day I wear.

How near you are to this lone soul

and yet so out of reach:

you hear not these sad serenades,

nor paeans, nor love's speech.

You feel not this warmth from inside

that keeps my dreams aglow,

nor smell the blooming buds of hope

that years have left to grow.

You know not of my heartbreak

nor see these cheeks tear-stained.

Loveless and lifeless am I, my sweet,

For I love thee in vain.

No, I totally do not relate, dammit. :'''''(

Two weeks later

I am:
[x] still fat
[x] no better at acads
[x] coming down with a cold (why now)
[x] struggling to learn how to learn. Why did I fall asleep when God started showering the world with academic excellence? :| :)))

I'm not doing my beeest. I hope I can turn this bad spell around before it wreaks havoc on my semester grade. :| :| :|

Oh, I just wanted to share this bit of awesomeness from The House of Smiths:

EMERALD! EMERALD! EMERALD! =))

...aaand I wanted to check on life here in our secret place. :)) So, just to let you know I'm still alive. I hope you're having better days out there!

Back to obscurity with my cat femur, and turtle carapace, and chicken palatine, and dogshark chondrocranium. Ooh looky, my countdown timer says 344 days before Christmas. Let's not spend the waiting period reading American Journal of Gingivitis, yes?

Infinite.

New Year's Eve.

I'll be kissing my aspirations and holding on to them with all that I have as another year unfolds. That feeling of standing perfectly still as one giant hands over my fate to the other is unreal---unbelievably beautiful, when you think about it.

The hazy dreams of my childhood days are now concrete challenges I must face. What used to be fragments of mind movies are now real and warm and unbelievably alive. I suddenly feel so old, yet so effing scared. Who knew this day would come?

Not the five-year-old kid inside, I am sure. :)) On the verge of tears, lower lip quivering, clutching to her blanket for dear life... Scared to death.


But she has to be brave nonetheless.

Cheers to another great year! Much laughter, love, and soft, gooey chocolate chip cookies from this brave little soldier. :)

Almost Christmaaaas

I shall be partying with classical music this year! *Hurrah*

The list I posted earlier hasn't gotten any shorter, just full of... half-X marks (half-finished stuff). So before the clock strikes 12/Nino turns 20, I promise that I will have crossed out 3 items from the list (brave soul, this one). :>

The day after Christmas is Mom's birthday, and Dad planned a Baguio trip! A TRIIIIIIP!!!!! Can you believe that! :))

Day before yesterday Nino, Cholo, Victor, and I had a good time! We had lunch, sang a (muted) birthday song for the birthday boy, had the Max's crew sing a (not-muted) birthday song for the birthday boy, went window shopping, laughed at books, puked rainbows looking at Jules Verne's Illustrated Classics (Nino and I), and did a lot of catching up. Words cannot describe how happy I was to be with my Bros again! :D Looking forward to another get-together before the holidays are over.

Happy Christmas to you, dear reader! Have a good time, eat a little bit of everything, and don't drink and drive. :>

❤

It's only the beginning. :)

I will be holding on to our weetol dreams, I hope you'll be doing the same. :')
