Happy Birthday Jhanina Tiru!!!

Obviously not her cake, It's her grandma's.
It's already August 31 and it seems kinda late... but actually it's not yet... I think. It's not late because her birth date can be August 30 and at the same time August 31 not because of the 'second' differences or microseconds whatsoever, but it is because of some really complicated reasons. Well not that really complicated. Anyway,

No pictures right now... just Nagaraya and a Big Gulp Coke that Me, Sherlyn, and Tiru feasted upon and a Mini Jeepney Birthday Party Celebration (?). Hahaha! Probably on Sunday.

What More Could I Wish For?

I know I shouldn't be staying up late right now with all my quizzes later and all that but I just can't help but to blog about these great things that just happened to me!

Well, that was actually my Facebook status and well, I altered it a little bit... it really goes like this:
"I know I shouldn't stay late with all my quizzes later and all but I just can't help but to watch all those Drop Dead Diva episodes that I missed for the whole three weeks I was uhmmm... busy. Had a very much great time watching them plus I got a "reply" tweet from Jackson Hurst! What else could I wish for before the day ends for me?! :D"
Maybe I altered it a lot... no matter! I'll break things out just as to state properly why I had a delighting, overjoying, overwhelming, elating, and an ecstatic day! (In case someone wondered, yes, I did used the research pane in Microsoft Word 2007.)

First, I woke up today.
I mean how else could I experience all of these if I didn't wake up this err... very late morning? I woke up very late... like 11 or so... but at least I woke up! And even though I was late for that "test" I would still like to thank Angeli for the patience.

Second, I am already done with my report in General Sociology class.
FINALLY! Something to celebrate! Although my partner, Clarice wasn't able to finish hers. She was reporting the first part of her part of the report when the laptop ran out of juice and suddenly black out. Ok, so maybe it's not the laptop's fault but mine. I mean, my part of the report took the whole time.

Third, I was able to watched the three episodes of 'Drop Dead Diva' that I missed since I was somehow busy with the report and all.
Well, I was just really lazy actually and I took my time to sleep and well, roamed around. But I missed Drop Dead Diva so much that I just had to watched them. Episodes 10,11, and 12, like all the rest of the episodes from Season 1 to Season 4 episode 9, inspired me again to work hard. They fascinated me again with all the commotions going on inside a courtroom, with all the legal processes and the ways how they fight and win cases, and even, most like gave me a peak of what watching porn looks like... unintentionally due to the scene where Luke and Kim were like 'canoodling' with each other in Kim's office. Seriously, not really what I wanted to see since I really like Luke a lot for... well, some other character! Not for Stacy, not for Terry, and absolutely not for Kim! And besides, Luke Daniels is a Guardian Angel, when someone irrelevant of their "mission" knew who they really are, they have to disappear into thin air and make it like as if they didn't exist at all. Anyway, as I was saying, it inspired me again. (Gotta make a post about D3 next time.)
Jane Bingum (Brooke Elliott), the hot protagonist of Drop Dead Diva.
Fourth and foremost, Jackson Hurst (Grayson Kent in Drop Dead Diva) replied to my tweet to him!
I can't believed it. HE REPLIED TO MY TWEET!!! Can I faint now or do I have to save that for my Finac test later? Maybe I'm exaggerating but that is Jackson Hurst! Grayson Kent! And I am a proud supporter of the Jane-Grayson Love Team and a big fan of him! Here is the tweet and the conversation :

Jackson Hurst's reply to my tweet.
The whole... err... conversation. I guess.
So, really! What else could I wish for before my day ends? I don't really know. I am very, very happy with all that. I can't contain my happiness right now. August 28 until 3 am of August 29 rocks!

For now, I need to work on my news clipping plus my two quizzes later in my two major subjects and I really need to work out on how to make my post short since probably no one would want to read my posts because it is long and boring.

The Refreshing Truth


Last Saturday I had my haircut. Well my cousin forced me, tortured (not really) me, and came to the point of no return, inside the Bench-FIX in Robinsons Galleria.

As they cut my not-so-long hair, I'm really at the point of holding grudges not on my cousin but on the hairstylist for not listening to what I said. And the thought of wanting to learn witchcraft and black magic suddenly came out of the blue just as to take revenge on that hairstylist.

But anyway, that's not the point here. The point is I HATE MY HAIRCUT and I ABSOLUTELY HAVE A BAD ONE! 

At first my classmates (not all of them), who haven't seen me with a short hair, were shocked and asked me these questions:

"Kailan ka nag-pagupit?" (When did you take a haircut?")
"Buti nag-pagupit ka?" (I don't know how to translate it but it's like asking... "Why did you take a haircut?")

Of course, I would naturally say that I didn't want to take a haircut, that my cousin forced me. And then they were saying to take of my bonnet (the one I lost yesterday) when I am wearing it. Then they say,

"Bagay mo naman! Tanggalin mo na bonnet mo!"
("Your haircut suits you! Take off your bonnet already!")

but I know that my hairstyle is as ugly as that hairstylist who cut my hair. What I really don't like is for them to say that it suits me, bagay ko siya, ok naman siya... It's like why do they have to say those? To make me feel better? Is it because they don't like my hair long? I know some of them (I won't assume that all of them) think that my hair looks really funny right now. It made me really feel HORRIBLE.

Tiru and Sherlyn told me a while ago that my hair looks bad. I mean they even told me to look at the mirror. I did. That made me feel better. People saying to me that my haircut is bad when it really is. It refreshed me. It somehow made me a little bit confident because now I know that I am not the only one who thinks of it as that. And even though I know that even the two don't like my hair long, at least they know where I am most confident of myself instead of forcing me to take a freaking haircut and risk making me feel bad for the rest of the first semester.

The lesson:
If your friend looks really horrible, like lets say his/her hair, tell them. And stop telling people what suits them because you don't know what they feel on those certain things. You might (like in my case) make that person feel really bad.

P.S. I don't like people forcing me to take haircuts, seriously, it's MY freaking hair! I do whatever I want with it! I'll take a haircut whenever I feel like taking one. You have your own, unless you are bald then you have to wait for it to grow... If it still grows.

Strike.... and You're OUT!!!

Well, I am OUT...

It's not about playing Baseball, it's about all the crap that happened to me this day. In fact, today had just broke my record of the worst day that was recorded in my entire school life.

"To sum it all... it was an Epic Failure."


Just a list of those "STRIKES" that I experienced the whole day...

  1. My necklace/souvenir from Bohol got broken.
  2. It rained hard while I was on my way to school and I failed to bring those slippers.
  3. My socks got wet from jumping to the other side of the road because I was avoiding to get my feet soaked with rain water (nearly ankle high) that filled the road.
  4. My newly bought Artwork bonnet got lost in the process of jumping.
  5. I was late in my consultation with my Psychology friend.
  6. Extra expenses due to printing failures.
  7. My partner in reporting was absent due to sickness.
And the worst part of the day is... *drum rolls*

GENSOC (General Sociology) Reporting SUPER DUPER MEGA EPIC FAILURE. Almost all of my FAIL moments happened in  my Gensoc class and I don't even know why!
"WTF! This clearly defines my reactions on
everything that happened as a whole"
But the reporting was, way, way, way worst. We were preparing for it the whole week and... TADA! Not a single thing went according to what was planned.

All the embarrassments from climbing up the window to reach an electric socket that isn't even working several times, my classmates seeing me in my panic mode, interrupted report caused by my own clumsiness and stupidity of plugging the laptop's (which I actually borrowed from Sai) charger on the socket that was not working, stuttering, incomprehensible and chaotic reporting, to causing all the inconvenience on my other classmates because of the extension cord.

I screwed it all and I swear that I already feel like bursting into tears at that time. What took it on a skyrocketing, high level is well... let's just say INSPIRATION was also there.

After all the things that happened, I don't even want to stand up in front of my classmates and continue our report, but there's nothing that I can do but to DO it on Tuesday again. I just hope that everything will happen according to what Clarice and I will plan tomorrow.

P.S.
This is Sai...

She is a great person and a great friend.

THANK YOU SO MUCH SAI!!!

That Possible Insight...

As I was chatting with my friend, who happens to be a Psychology student, minutes ago (currently 1:03 am), I mentioned to her that I "might" have OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder). Might because I'm not sure yet since I haven't consulted a shrink and therefore rely on the information I read in Wikipedia. So much for self-diagnosis. Based on our conversation much ,much earlier before I mentioned about the OCD, she told me I have insights... which means I showed signs that I might really have an OCD or at least that's what I interpreted on what she said.

Excessive 'Hair plucking'
 - an action that is on the Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum.

 Based on what I read in Wikipedia months ago, excessive hair plucking and nail biting are on the Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum. And as what was written in Wikipedia:
 "Individuals with OCD are aware that their thoughts and behavior are not rational, but they feel bound to comply with them to fend off feelings of panic or dread."

Excessive 'Nail Biting' 
- an action that is on the
Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum as well.



I bite my nails and pluck my hair most of the time, usually when I'm nervous or when I am thinking very hard especially during exams, quizzes and even during recitations. And as what was quoted above, I know that what I'm doing is irrational but I somehow find it helpful to me. I can't think at all without biting my nails (and if you are curious, yes, I somehow bite my nails while doing this). I pluck my hair when I am bored but I don't find overdoing it as much as nail biting. Actually, I think I was able to stop myself from plucking my hair unknowingly.


When I first read about OCD in Wikipedia, I told Daddy (a friend I call 'daddy' for some reason) about these compulsive actions that I do. He told me to try to stop nail biting and hair plucking as much as possible and not to think about it since it will make me more anxious (thanks for that daddy!). Well I do believe in what he said besides, the more I think about it, the more likely I nail bite and make the situation worst. For now, I won't hold on to those information that I read and start on doing something about my unstoppable nail biting problem.

Mental Disaster

"Change 'Gmail' into 'Gaming' and that's my routine..."
While people here in the Philippines are having problems with the constant rain and heavy floods, well... I'm having the time of my life. Relaxing, playing DS games, twitting, fb-ing, 9gagging, sleeping, watching TV, and all those unproductive stuff that happen when there are no classes. But not all of the things I do are for my own selfish intentions... I also take time praying for the rain to stop and for people to be safe.

But to get to the main point of this post, ONE WEEK of class suspension was enough to make my mind super-duper-mega unproductive that it might even take a whole month for my brain to work again the way it did before that one week class suspension happened.

Now that classes already resumed and we must go back to being those productive (or unproductive) and waterproof college students of Holy Angel University again, things aren't really working for me. This week hasn't ended, yet all I see is myself being the most unproductive and laziest student in the whole university who is having hard time going back the way things were two weeks ago.

The statement above made it seemed like my first two days were disasters... right? (anyone notice that?) Well to visualize what really happened, here are some of my EPIC FAILURES:
  1. I keep on bumping and hitting people accidentally.
  2. I can't keep my mouth shut. (I know I'm really talkative and annoying, but this is worse)
  3. I was late in my YPRIMAR class last Tuesday... without doing my reaction paper. I did it in Sir Elnel's period and I swear that it has got to be the most stupid and nonsensical reaction paper that I did in my entire school life!
  4. I failed my XFINAC3 Prelim Exam... and got a very low grade which is considered a failing grade because I am still an Accountancy student.
  5. My mind can't think clearly and is current full of crap which is why I can't think of anything to say when it comes to class recitations.
Well, as you see...the disaster isn't the week itself, it is ME! I tricked my own body and mind to do nothing at all and now I'm devastated on what is happening to me!

I know that I just created this post to whine about my current situation, but it might as well serve as a lesson to people out there (if someone would actually read this semi-long and boring post). The lesson? Oh! Yeah!
Relaxation is a necessity but don't relax too much. Do something productive. Read once in a while no matter how boring it seems (well it's not boring if you are not reading Accounting books or whatever books you use in your course). And one thing, as Sir Tim always say: PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE!
And also... try 9gag. Kinda fun there and it makes your mind think... well at least it makes mine think even for just a few hours.
