• Satisfying sushi cravings

    Satisfying sushi cravings

    After thesis class yesterday, all three of us were craving for sushi, so we decided to have late lunch together today. <3 I missed hanging out with Jamie and Mary. I missed hanging out with girls, period. If anything, even if girls are more complicated than boys (and not just from a guy’s POV), they’re…

    “forgotten” doesn’t mean “lost”

    Thanks to Kasey, I was able to watch this deleted scene from the cut version of the movie Leon the Professional (1994). One thing led to another and I ended up reading the original script. I don’t remember if this was in the movie (the last time I’ve watched it was ages ago), but there’s…

  • Rashes like mushrooms

    Rashes like mushrooms

    Summary of me for the past few days: What a way to end a crazy day. I feel so disappointed in myself. I don’t think I did very well in my Philo and Theo orals, and definitely was B-class during my thesis proposal presentation. I may have tried to dress up and all but in…

  • Hopes and dreams are shattering apart

    Hopes and dreams are shattering apart

    My brain is going to explode. I don’t think I can live this kind of life. Three weeks of days without much sleep, nights crashing into the sofa, working but never finishing (LIKE THERE IS NO END TO EVERYTHING), living life in one exhaustive cycle. But I can’t just give up and not try to…

  • Fashion Friday the 13th

    Fashion Friday the 13th

    If there’s something I’ll never forget from Riza, it’s that day when she came to one of our core meetings dressed so chic because, she said, “If you’re going down, go down in style.” Forget Fashion Friday. Every day is just another cycle of Death by Stress (Work, Thesis, and Acads) so it makes me…

    I love the cold weather

    Cold weathers make it easier to layer or wear more interesting pieces from my closet: coats and blazers. This week I’ve been bringing a light dull-brown pseudo-coat (it’s not really a trench coat since the sleeves are only 3/4’s). It’s perfect for the Philippine weather because it’s not too warm (not full sleeves) and the…

    I never really knew coffee could taste this good!

    Since I’ve been camping out at Seattle’s Best Katipunan since last week, I’ve been drinking lots of coffee (and it shows, because my skin reacts badly to caffeine. But whatever. I need to jump-start energy!). I love the flavored latte and mocha. Last week I had hazelnut latte. Yesterday I had white chocolate mocha (and…

    August is exciting…work-wise?

    I was looking forward to August but I didn’t expect it to be this unforgiving when it comes to work and other things. I mean, the way things are going, I’ll need to hibernate after two weeks to recuperate. Like today I forgot my phone a SECOND time in TWO weeks. I really have never…

  • Let’s talk about Philo

    Let’s talk about Philo

    Yesterday, during Philosophy 104 class, we were talking about the “complete” life. When you say virtue or happiness requires a complete life, what makes a life complete? In the discussion, we defined “complete” as having a fixed pattern (with regard to how you think/act/react) or, for a better term, stability in the character of the…
