top ten of 2010
A rundown of the most memorable moments/events/things/people/places of the year that was. Many thanks to my memory, my planner, Facebook (and my friends’ accounts and photo albums), as well as old Tumblr posts. This is not in any specific order. Okay, wait, yes it is.
THESIS- I think this goes without saying. 2010 was the year of the thesis, the unforgiving senior year requirement which entailed...

friends day!
It was Friend’s Day yesterday! I’ve only just fully recovered from the food coma yesterday brought on. I mean, really. What was I thinking? I’ll have to go on a mega-diet in order to lose all the pounds the holidays brought on.
So anyway, yesterday was mega fun! Haha. Though Tina and Regina weren’t there, craziness still managed to ensue. The epic epic Twister showdown...

lucky
I wanted to blog about something more light tonight, seeing as it’s just a couple of days before New Year’s. Usually around this time I am writing about the highs and lows of the year that was, things I am thankful for and things I am excited about.
However, I have to take a moment to talk about this book that really enthralled me from start to finish. Alice Sebold is the author of...

it's a very merry christmas indeed
So the internet decided to give out on me yesterday afternoon. Worst time possible since my peak internet hours are between 8pm to midnight or 1am. Plus, since my laptop was being used by my parents and my room was taken over by my sister, I slept.
Haha.
(I assure you, it was not funny at the time though.)
So yesterday, I went to visit some friends, get last-minute gifts for the family and...
Merry Christmas!

on being eco-friendly
A lot of people don’t know that I try to be eco-friendly.
Sort of. Rather, I guess I try to make conscious efforts to protect the environment.
I guess it started two years ago when I was watching some late-night TV and I happened to land on the Discovery channel. An ad for a show was playing, and the announcer stated in a very gravelly, serious voice “Our resources are running...

what inspires you?
I had a very good afternoon today with friends I haven’t seen in a while (By this I mean Maui and Em, cause I see the Ciriaco clan fairly regularly). We had Fro-yo, yes, and I still can’t believe how the combination of crushed oreos and caramel syrup can taste like heaven.
I made dessert when I got home and strung the lights on our Christmas tree. It was such a good afternoon and...

i'm not trying to be boring on purpose
So I opened my Tumblr page and stared at my dashboard for like, ten minutes before I finally realized that I don’t know what to write about tonight. It’s not the lack of things to write about-beautiful things happen everyday-but the fact that I’m quite unable to string words to convey how interesting my life is.
It’s mainly because I can’t decide what to feel right...

because when you don't know what to blog about,...
It’s been temporary freedom for two days now. Three if you count Friday which was technically the first day of having no classes.
Friday was awesome only because I was able to see Kitkat after almost a year and a half! BB girl has grown up so much and it makes me feel so old that she’ll be a junior next schoolyear and I’ll be graduating. It seems like just yesterday when we...

you and i both
You and I, that’s what we are now. We’re full of missed flights, wrong timings, moments gone unnoticed and chances not taken.
Maybe that’s our story, of how our lives could never be attuned with one another. It was not on purpose; it just was. Maybe we could be something else in another lifetime.
But maybe that’s how our story starts out: how we overcame the seemingly...

New traditions
It’s December 15, and with ten days left to Christmas, I can finally, finally feel the Christmas spirit.
I couldn’t help but feel a bit sad on how the holidays turned out this year, though. Usually, by mid-November, decorations would be up, the air would be nippier, I’d be planning Christmas give and receive lists, and the world would generally be a sparklier, shinier place....

Journey to a Double Down
A couple of weeks ago, the Double Down hit the city like a blockbuster movie everyone wanted to see the minute it started showing. Suddenly, everyone wanted to run to the nearest KFC to sample this cholesterol-laden sandwich for the sheer satisfaction of surviving the Double Down.
I case you’ve been living under a rock, the Double Down (henceforth known as DD) is a “sandwich” of...
