Low Shoulder

2012-02-25T10:25:00.001-08:00

Nothing is ever newsworthy around this time of the year. The days get hotter and if I'm lucky the nights are proportionately colder. If only I could really isolate everything I've been feeling and everything I've been through so I can put it into writing. But then again, I was never really good at this.

I've also been having the oddest of dreams lately. I never completely wake up or shake off the dream until I step into the shower. Everything has been so vivid -- the touch, sound, sight, and the people. The fact that I remember my dreams wears me out. Its like I live two lives everyday; the waking and the dreaming.

Enough of all this abstract. By the way, I won the elections! I am now the chairperson of the School of Social Sciences. Thanks for that friends,

I also just finished reading this book from my favorite person, Tim. I miss him very much. He is visiting his hometown.

And in the meantime, guess what came from Melbourne (sort of)

Thank you to the wonderful Marta! You really shouldn't have.

Here's a 3 megapixel runthrough of what's happened so far:

That's it for now.

Went up north to the seaside and the mountaintop. We stayed in the house of a former Filipino president and I now know why the 1% is where they are right now and why they enjoy it (long live the 99%). The weather was beautiful and so were the people.

Meet the cast:

Pia.

Ordy.

Sab.

Mia.

Some dumbfucks.

and of course, Julio!

that was the guest house.

this is the main house.

I need to go on more vacations.

while i am under mountains of schoolwork i think its worth updating the world about my life, which i hope looks cooler in pictures.

snippets of life for your viewing or non-viewing pleasure of the things i've seen and people i've been with

then watched a few movies

Then i decided to cut my hair.

good luck with studying the government and religion in your free time I think you have a great future and I enjoyed our conversation. I was genuinely sad when we got disconnected.

Your love is like all naive dreams of mine thrown in my face

2011-07-27T05:42:00.000-07:00

Sorry I haven't been updating much. There isn't much to say nowadays but not that you'd be particularly interested in my life: it's not a very exciting life. I wish I could fabricate certain details to make my life so utterly glamorous. I can't.

All this rain is getting me down.

The rain has returned, but I still think that by all accounts summer conditions haven't left yet. I could be jinxing it but its such a relief to have cooler weather again.
I find it increasingly difficult to cope with the fact that my sociology professor thinks I'm a dunce. In a class full of graduate students and me being the only non-foreign undergrad, I am being bullied for being the youngest. It's okay though I guess. Not a very enriching academic environment but who's watching. She hates me because I have short hair.
Life has been a series of double dates because I don't have much friends left.
I need a massage or something

Current state of affairs:

I wish I was unbelievably smart.

Dog Days

2011-04-27T05:53:00.000-07:00

Summer is TOO HOT. To cope, put a bunch of internet-addicts together and you find something to do with your time.

I'm not exactly sure what else to say.

Fred Perry Authentic Womens Spring Summer 2011 Collection

Considering the price tag this is too douchebaguette for the middle-class trash like myself, but the clean-tomboy look gets me wet with excitement... or just really excited in general. But really, when did I ever know anything about fashion.

I haven't been reading much. So I don't think you can say I've been too productive because all I've been doing effectively is sleeping and trying to level up my pokemon. Unless you're the type to count getting gym badges as productive then I retract my previous statement. Really, I need more books to read. I usually don't like watching films before reading the book but it so happened I had seen Milos Forman's film adaptation of One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest for class before reading the novel, hopefully this won't cloud my judgement (but it probably will but does that actually matter to anyone)

I'll go hunt for food now.

Summer

2011-04-24T04:02:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure about you but I haven't been doing too much.

Save for student council I don't think I have much else to do, except sleep and read some books and play pokemon.

Summer days go on slowly but I'm glad that I'm never really alone.

The sun just keeps shining, and not in the bad way.

Obviously this is me making my debut as a fashion blogger (of course not really). What I wouldn't do to be able to bring off printed items / mens clothes. Oh well, in another life my penis is really big.

In other news I don't have much to do with my summer vacation which resulted into this blog.
