This which can be viral

I've always been appalled at how some people could hate others with a virulence that I didn't feel warranted. I've seen people like these, and have always thought them petty. But now, I am experiencing this same thing. I hate this person and I feel warranted in my anger. And I really am just new to the feeling that in truth it's terrifying to deal with. Pardon me for this unforgivably garbled post, this might be taken some other time in the future and never see the light of the day.

Now she plays her violin. I can just feel the tense and rigid set of my jaw. I shall play my playlist and let my speakers blare out to their fullest to block her out. I just hope she's not dumb enough to realize.

A flash of my mundane everyday

I am attempting to document with this post all that's happened to me in the past two weeks. But unfortunately, I don't seem to be in the right state of mind. I've been trying to get into the zone but can't. Oh well. Suffice to say that the past two weeks have been eventful...and yes, crazy. So many things had happened. I had been afraid I wouldn't survive it. It took a lot of effort, a lot of sleepless nights, but here I am, yey thank God, alive, with just enough time to dawdle here in blogger (Or not! I still have a biology exam to study for :/ ><)

A brief summary of the multitude of events that has taken my life by storm in the past 14 days:

I took five exams. I had one report for which we had to stay overnight in a casemate's house. Miss Philippines ranked third runner-up in MU 2011. UP PEP ranked champion, again. I developed a new crush (who couldn't be more 'ill-fitting' for this position, as we don't talk at all--he happens to just be a classmate in a subject, he's not even from my own college!--and he has a long-time girlfriend who he apparently adores and loves very much!). I watched a movie for the first time in months. I bought a suit (my first, actually:p). Had karaoke and visited Timezone twice in as many nights. And the ubiquitous Facebook and Taylor Swift stalking session, and romance novel.

Org work and support for JPIA, beloved

And..because this is the best photo (although this new person is actually Chinese) I could find. New crush, all thanks to Dante del Rosario from the Filipina chick lit writer, Mina Esguerra's book. Source

You might wonder how some of these, like Ms. Philippines placing in the MU, has actually directly affected me.  Well, when something--or rather, someone in this case--happens to pique my interest, I can start to seem to be kin to bulldog terriers in my stubbornness to not let go until I've literally exhausted all new updates about it/the person. I started following Shamcey as soon as she won the Bb. Pilipinas crown, while mainly because she's a UP graduate who happened to top the Architecture board exams the previous year, you just have to admit that she's worth stalking. I really just think her an amazing woman, as she has insofar shone in all her lfie's endeavors. And about Taylor Swift. I've stalked her forever, and do this every time I find myself online.

While I've been very busy till Friday, I've also had a very relaxing and unproductive last two days. Oh well, I haven't generally been in the mood although I know I have to get my butt moving or else the next week would again fry me to the bone. This has been the pervasive pattern with my days, sadly. I'd be so relaxed so much on weekends and end up sacrificing and losing sleep on weekdays. I really should learn to manage my time better.

Next week's agenda:

Smile and work hard! Source

Crossing my fingers that my reservation may soon arrive. Source

Oh wow! I hadn't really planned this post, but sort of just felt that the last two weeks should be documented somehow, as a testament to my surviving (despite the many inefficiencies still at handling my time) and hopefully as a reminder and motivation to work even harder and more determinedly in the future. I'm shocked, this is my first ever truly photo-heavy post. Oh well, adieu! Visit me after another momentous string of events in my otherwise normal existence, I think I may have more to say then (translation: more hellweeks ><).
