Mar. 19.. I put my Oreos in the freezer because I like them cold. I like to dance. I like to bake (but I like the eating part more). And I like to read.

Dear future boyfriend,
Sometimes I wonder about you.
Sometimes I wonder where you are and what you’re doing right now.
Sometimes I wonder if you’re with someone right now. Are you happy with her? Do you think she’s the one? Or are you having doubts?
Sometimes I wonder if you write about me like I write about you.
Sometimes I wonder what it’ll be like when we finally meet. Sometimes I wonder if we’ve already met. I wonder how great it’ll feel to have you hold me, to hold your hand, to kiss you.
Sometimes I wonder what it’ll be like when I tell you that I love you.
Sometimes I wonder what we’ll do on our first year anniversary.
Sometimes I wonder if you wonder about me too.
Today, I realized that I’m a pushover. I disgust myself.

There’s this girl that I know. We always, well most of the time, do the things she wants, and I’ve only truly realized this now. And I am kind of annoyed. Annoyed by the fact that I have no guts to stand up for myself. Some of her choices (more like decisions) were really bad, and of course, I got caught up in her mess. And now that she’s made the decision again, I’m worried. I can make my own decision now, but that would be too last minute. And, as usual, that would stir up unnecessary drama. I guess that’s what I’ve been avoiding all this time; drama. She can be a handful.
Lord, please, hopefully this time things are going to work out well.
I hate the fact that I don’t have anywhere much to go to every summer in the Philippines, aside from my bedroom, bathroom and the occasional trips to school.
I hate the fact that my college friends have their high school friends to hang out with every summer, when my high school friends are in Brunei.
I hate the fact that my high school friends are in Brunei.
I hate the fact that I can’t even go back to Brunei.
I hate the fact that my parents won’t let me visit my friends Brunei.
I hate the fact that the internet is not enough to let me see my friends in Brunei.
I hate the fact that I keep missing my best friends’ birthdays.
I hate the fact that I can’t hug them anytime I want.
I hate the fact I feel miserable every time I feel like this.
I hate the fact that I have to use the word “hate”.
I just feel so emotional today.
This sucks.

Seizing The Day
It’s not everyday I decide to go out in the rain and dance and sing. I don’t know what got into me. Something in me just told me I should. My parents actually thought that bumming around at home has made me crazy.
I can’t remember the last time I went out in the rain. On purpose. It felt so good. I felt like I had no care in the world and it’s definitely something to cross off the bucket list. I even pulled off a Gene Kelly (watch it here). I feel so bad-ass.
Today felt like I really, truly seized the day, which is the sole purpose of this 366 project. I should seize more often. Don’t you just love the rain?
Bucket List:
Let loose and go out into the rain - ✔

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
✔ Rain. ✔ Cup of tea. ✔ Good book. ✔
Someone to cuddle withWarm muffins.Good thing I decided to bake these muffins before the power went out (they’re orange marmalade muffins with walnuts). Nothing beats a warm muffin and a cup of tea on a cold, rainy afternoon. Although I didn’t enjoy the rain that much because of all the lightning.
Tonight’s also the night of the Perigee Moon (the super moon. You know, big, orange moon that legends claim to make people go nuts). It’s beautiful out tonight. Calling all werewolves.

Happy Birthday, Mom!
Everybody says that they have the best mother in the world. The “best” is merely an understatement if I’m to refer to my mom. She is the greatest. She’s better than the best. She’s the bestest of the best. I love her so much.
Even though I tell her that I don’t like her hugging me, it’s the one thing I want the most. Just one hug from her, everything’s all better. She cooks, cleans.. She does the dougie unlike anyone else, and every time she does the cat daddy move, she puts on this swag expression on her face that is so priceless. Whenever she’s on the laptop trying to use Facebook “like a boss” (no, not really), she looks so innocent and every now and then she calls me or my brother to help her comment or like something. She loves to dress-up. She’s so tiny that everyone finds her adorable. And everyone absolutely loves her cooking. She takes care of my dad, my brother and me. She deserves an award for all that.
I have an awesome mom.
I wonder how people lived without electricity before Thomas Edison. I wonder what they did to survive hot summer days with no fans or air-conditioners. I wonder how they spent their afternoons with no television. I wonder if they had night-vision to walk around in the dark at night.
Ever since we had a blackout last Thursday, our wi-fi hasn’t been working well. Fortunately, I am only able to connect via my iTouch. So this afternoon, some technicians from PLDT came over to take a look at our DSL. It turns out that our router had died, so they replaced it with a new 2-in-1 router and modem. And our network name and password have been changed and I don’t exactly like the new name and password (the old network name was “imsocute” and the password was my old Brunei number, which I, proud to say, still remember).
New network name is boring. (First world problems)
My brother and I pretty much had nothing to do during the 5-hour black out just now. But we did have a very interesting conversation about who would win between DC heroes and Marvel heroes, if they were to fight each other.
Brother: Batman or Captain America?
Me: Captain America. Batman doesn’t have powers.
Brother: Eh may butler naman siya. May butler ba si Captain America. Batman can get on his Batmobile and send a missile towards Captain America.Me: Captain America would’ve dodged it.
Brother: Hawkgirl or Storm?Me: … Is Hawkgirl’s power just flying around or what??
Brother: Super human strength. Storm would definitely win. She can just call on a lightning storm and fry Hawkgirl.
Brother: Aquaman or Spiderman?
Me: Does Aquaman just shoot water?
Brother: Aquaman, syempre. Spiderman’s web won’t hold against water.
Brother: Green Lantern or Iron Man?
Me: Green Lantern, duhh.
Brother: **In deep thought**
Brother: Yeah, Iron Man is just like an armor.
Brother: Superman or Wolverine?
Me: Kuya, if you like your best friend, would you risk your friendship and tell her you like her or would you just stay in the friend zone?
Brother: Dami mong tanong.
I am looking through my alma mater’s photo albums in Facebook, and seeing all the juniors that took our places when my batch left high school makes me feel… somewhat proud. The last time I saw them, they were so little, they were like our little brothers and sisters who needed our guidance and protection. And now, they’re all grown up.
Some of them are pretty hot now. (I feel icky mentioning this.) They’re so good-looking now, like OMG-I-WANT-TO-RUB-MY-FACE-ON-YOUR-ABS/BICEPS hot! I just can’t believe that they’re the same little kids that we left three years ago. My, my, time does go by pretty fast.
St. George’s School has changed a lot over the years (judging by the pictures); they update their website now too. They host a lot of events, competitions, and annual science and english weeks now! It’s so nice to see old and new faces, my previous teachers and the not-so-little kids all grown up. I’m feeling very sentimental tonight.
Oh, Life, why must you move on?

Summer Shopping!
I’m sure we’ve all heard the recent opening of Forever 21 at SM North Edsa (Finally! A branch within Quezon City). Today, I decided to see what they hype was all about in this hipster-favorite store.
I told myself I wouldn’t buy anything; I was just going to check the place out. The store is huge! So many racks of clothes here and there. They have everything from lingerie, dresses, hats and accessories to footwear, belts and make-up kits. I was so excited to start shopping.
I ended up buying 1 out of 4 of the blouses I tried on, an earring and a belt from Tomato. Their prices may seem quite pricey for some, but the quality is great. Sure, you may think that you’re just paying for the branded name, but the brand needs to live up to its standards. You’re actually paying for the material of the clothes. Their fabric is of high-quality.
The blouses that you usually find in thrift shops are sold in lower prices for a reason: they’re not made of the same materials as higher-priced blouses, and these usually last a longer time than the blouses from thrift shops. Quality.
Think twice about buying in thrift shops. I suggest buying accessories and bags from thrift shops. However, I remember this bag my mom bought from divisoria; it broke after a week. This bra my mom also bought in divisoria immediately broke after putting it on (not that my breasts are made of metal; the metal hook didn’t function as well as it should).
I’m no expert shopper to say that you should always shop in Forever 21 and not in thrift shops. I happen to enjoy thrift shopping as much as the next person. I am merely judging based on my experiences. (Forever 21 does sell in ridiculously high prices, anyway)
I hope you guys have a better shopping experience that I do. Cheerio!
