"Good morning, starshine! The earth says hello!" If you've never heard this line and you're around 18 years old, your childhood is nonexistent. Yes, I'm exaggerating. No, I haven't slept yet and, yes, it's early morning here; 2:30 am to be exact.
Like what I've done on all of my previous blogs (I think I had around 4 blogs on Blogger back then and one on Multiply.), I'm going to start this one by posting on why I created it in the first place. I'm not that creative so I have to reuse my past idea, okay?
Last Saturday, a Blogger's Congress was held at DLSU and I really regretted not going there for it. (It's quite okay, though, since I used that time to go to Church with my parents and bonded with them and my sisters a bit.) Back when I was a high school student, I was a really active blogger, writing about everything I could remember about my day at school or about what I was thinking while on the way home. I think, attending that congress would have awakened that sleeping blogger in me a lot earlier. However, the blog fairy had other plans. A few days ago, something entirely unexpected took place in my life. I never thought it would ever be possible for me to fall that easily since I believe that liking someone takes time, whether romantically or as friends or whatever. Naturally, I was shocked and I still am in a state of shock until now. So as not to annoy you with a story that's completely stupid and shallow and to keep his identity hidden, all I could say is that I think, I fell for someone whose name I didn't even know yet at that time. Because of my natural desire for knowledge (hello there, euphemism), I tried to find out what his name is and I did find out. Yesterday, out of sheer curiosity (oh, hey, another euphemism!), I decided to look him up on Google. Unfortunately, Google failed me and I found out about NOTHING. While trying to satisfy my hunger for information (I'm sounding like a complete nerd, am I not?), I came across the idea of Google-ing my self and I did. I tried putting in my full name first and the top results were on the sites for the UPCAT passers, UP College of Economics freshmen list (I think), DLSU's Dean's List, and some blogs. While "stalking myself," I even found out that I have a Myspace account and a Scribd account which I don't even recall making. Weird, huh? Anyway, the point is that seeing my name on some blogs (most belong to my friends and one's co-owned by our clique) made me realize how much I miss writing and blogging. Yeah, I just wasted your time telling you insignificant things before getting to my point. That's actually a talent of mine. Yay, me!
Right now, I am supposed to be repairing my damaged (Yes, damaged. This is my blog and I'll use the words which I find appropriate, okay?) Chocolat reflection paper for TREDTWO since my friends already bid me goodnight after a long chat on Facebook, but, here I am, blogging. I guess, I lost my focusing skills along the way. That's really unfortunate, though, since now is the time when I need it the most. College is entirely different from High School. In High School, getting lower than 93% was simply unacceptable. Now, getting a 2.0 (around 81-83%) is something to throw a party for.
This week is supposedly DLSU's midterms week but my professors, apparently, decided to give me two weeks for midterm exams. Since the 17th, I've been taking long quizzes and exams that made me crazier than usual, hungrier than usual and weirder than usual. Goodness knows how tired I am of Muggle school (No, I can't show you my magic because I can't use it outside Hogwarts) and how much I wish I were a Hogwartian instead. Siriusly, I think I would spend every hour of every day studying if I would have to prepare for exams on Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, etc. instead of Financial Management, Marketing, Partnership & Corporation Law, etc. Oh well. I'm sure this will all be worth it in the future. After all, I don't think I'll ever fit in in the wizarding world. I'm too obsessive-compulsive.
Oh my. I don't even understand what I'm talking about anymore. All I know is that I really missed blogging and I'm just typing from the heart right now. Not literally, of course. It's 2:50 am now and I should really, at least, write my PERSEF2 essay before going to bed and plan on what to do to make this TREDTWO essay worth reading. Through the years, I've tried to constantly remind myself of this tip which I made up: When writing your essays, put yourself on the shoes of the reader (in my case, my professor) and contemplate on whether "you" would like to read it over and over again because it gives you a feeling of intrigue, happiness, etc. and not because it acts as your sleeping pill.
3 minutes to 3. I should really go now. Mischief Managed. Nox.
Obsessing over that man on the left,
