all's well, it'll end well.

i succeeded on staying at the UP main library from 10:30am up to 2:30pm today. my goal was to study for the exam on Monday. it's too high maintenance to stay in technohub. i also need to lay off my caffeine intake anyway, so using the library as my new "hangout" is the most feasible thing to do.

BUT. real study time took just about an hour. HAHAHAHA ;p 

i have this unexplainable affinity to books. when i happen to be near one, i swear i can hear them calling out my name. yeah, staying on the same room with the biggest book collection in the country is a major major MAJOR mistake... or not. =)

it was a healthy alternative to staying in front of dell (mafia-ing, plurking, emailing) , munching over junk food (only pure water is allowed inside the library), and a good way to escape the sun. i didn't actually read the books from cover to cover. i simply scanned it, taking down notes along the way. i am sure i made my braincells proud. =D

i managed on salvaging three books. one was "the idiot's guide to catholicism", another was all about building self-confidence, and the other one was about stress-proofing one's life. i am trying to rekindle and upgrade my vocabulary and english skills so i imposed a five-word-a-day rule to myself. given all those three books, i was able to list down over twenty. haha. 

i am not really supposed to bond with dell now. so let me just post this. just for the sake. =))

because i'm old school. (and really vain, sometimes.)

i finally gained 'nuf courage to post a new facebook profile picture. it's the same picture i posted from my previous entry, the one showing my relatively new 'do. i don't really want to post it, as i don't want to get "embarassing" compliments. haha. but a procastinating mind's gotta do what it can do, riiiight?

i spent time tweaking it a bit--- blurring it a little, changing it to black and white. (the result is a huge old-school-looking, id-worthy, amateurish pic.)

i don't usually register well on cam, 'lest i am on my "angle". (sorry to burst the bubble guys, but there's an entire encyclopedia of tricks we follow to make us incredibly pretty for pictures. hahaha.)

yes, i am very much aware, that picture isn't my best shot... which is why i like it. =)

(is it just me or is my writing style migraine-worthy? forgive me folks. my writing depends on my mood. three fourths of my brain's all used up--- math54 formulas. *ahem*)

i am still not used to THE bangs. this summer hell (read: killer temp!) isn't helping me on my quest of "letting my hair down". i am just slowly internalizing the look. (the haircut's pretty expensive, you know. ;p)

i have to document my state of mind too. even though i know i probably won't be so proud of this particular entry.

it's just that... good things happen whenever i blog.

and again, a procastinating mind's gotta do what it can do.

my profile pictures thru time:

my very first fb profile picture. 

shot taken january 2009. 

cropped from a picture with my younger sister ba.

 

i loved how i "glowed" on this one. 

this is a picture with my bestfriend icha, July 2009.

note my genuine-looking, super warm smile. 

shot taken early this year.

if only i didn't put my hair up, this picture could've transcended all of my pictures to date.

haha. vain ego signing out. ;p

because.

i promised myself i'd be writing something here before this week ends.
and promises made to thy self should always, always, always be fulfilled.

just like how i promised not to enter politics (ever again) once i leave secondary school. three years later, i entered the UP architecture student council. (and made history a year after that. haha.)

just like how i promised myself i won't be neglecting ANY of those responsibilities i willingly accepted. (i missed class today because i "overworked" myself yesterday.)

just like how i promised myself i won't stay up later than 2am. here i am, still not in my pajamas, typing away.

if there's one soul who suffers my eccentricities more than any other person--- it's me!
(ay, anlabo. hahaha.)

but still. here i am. fulfilling a promise i made to myself:
I WILL BE WRITING SOMETHING HERE BEFORE THE WEEK ENDS.

and to spice up this page, here's "my life" through my phone's random pictures:
(more photos are on my facebook page.)

Sir Carl Joseph Jamosin--- my would-be source of summer happiness. HAHAHA. 

Last-Summer-Class-in-UP FTW!

Blueberry Cheesecake = ultimate comfort food.

And Friuli's triple cheese pizza.

And I heart Froyo's Large Cup with blueberry and strawberry and apple cinnamon.

And Cibola's Carbonara.

Yes, this year I am re-igniting my love for goooood food! =D

As I've said, I super love Friuli's triple cheese pizza. =))

and... i finally had my haircut at Piandre-Trinoma. 

Best experience by far. 

I didn't post this one on facebook, as I don't like to "hear" the comments. Nyay.

But no, those bangs aren't staying. hahaha. =p

Now, I can check that "Weekly" Checklist. 

(Plus, I finally came around and watched the three Flashforward eps. YEY.)
