iPhone Photo of the Day. | Date with my sister Sam and friend Isiah today - perfect way to spend the day right after nights of reading long articles for my PolSci pre-finals.

I am a happy sister.

Hello! | From this morning, with Samantha!

Hello again, Anvaya! | iPhone photo. Here at Anvaya Cove with the family again for some quality time and Moms’ Day celebration. Ah, times like this! (*^◯^*)

“Were we just as obnoxious as these kids back in the day?”
“No, our generation was definitely more mature.”

Went out with six of my friends today to watch American (Pie) Reunion. We’ve been talking about watching this since last week; we were planning on Avengers too, but it’d be a third or fourth time for some of us if we did (which I don’t really mind, but what the hell, I want to see American Reunion anyway).

We even watched the first three American Pie movies again just to prepare for this, and the movie did bring back memories! It was so much fun to watch - hilarious, as always - and it was able to hold on to that humor the first three movies had. It was so hilarious, we were so loud at  the movie house! Good thing there weren’t much people at the cinema we were in.

It was so sweet too - my shipping heart was very very happy and fulfilled! I lost count to how many times I squealed in delight during the movie.

Haha - movies like this are always fun to watch with crazy friends.

For the Love of Philosophy. | When everything has been said, the most important thing still cannot be said. (taken with Instagram; credits to Fielle)

My new found love for Philosophy wouldn’t have been the same if it weren’t for this very inspiring and just simply amazing guy, who wisely and patiently taught me and my block mates the confusing complexity but sincerely exquisite beauty that is Philosophy.

This is Sir Roy Tolentino. He was the one who first introduced us what is in for us in studying Philosophy. I vividly remember how he made us so confused with just about everything and question ourselves with one simple question: “What is a bag?” It was the very first question he asked us on the very first day of Philosophy class, almost a year ago. I can honestly say I still don’t know how to answer that question without being asked another question after, but I can confidently say that I now have reasons to argue with the question.

I had my final orals with him today, and even if I managed not to let myself break down during the orals, there was still this big chunk of mixed emotions swirling inside me, and I had to pat myself for being able to control it. It’s now sinking in as I’m typing this, that this oral exam’s probably the last oral exam I’ll be having with him, and it makes me teary. I love talking about Philosophy with him.

Thank you so much, Sir Roy. You made us realize so many things we would have never thought of or reflect on if it weren’t for you and the magic of Philosophy. I can honestly say my way of thinking and ‘philosophy in life’ somehow changed because of everything that I learned, and though we have two more Philosophy classes to take this next semester, we know it wouldn’t be the same without you. If it’s possible, I really hope you’re still our professor next sem. If only.

Just a few minutes ago (six minutes ago, as I’m typing this), our professor posted this on Facebook - yes, he accepted our friend request, all of us loud, lively bunch of CTMJTAers - and it tugged my heartstrings:

“While teaching Ph 103 has its own rewards, I’d forgotten that sublime pleasure Ph 101-102 teachers are privileged to experience — watching your students grow over the course of 10 months. (Yes, I know my present and former students can see this. Indulge the late-night ramblings of this philosophy teacher.)”

MY CREYS.

Random iPhone Photo of the Day. | My hair style for the past few days; if it’s not a bun like this, it’s a very high ponytail. (EDIT: I look like my sister here! She said she owns this hair style, so fine. I’m borrowing it! LOL)

Sported this hair, wore contacts, and wore this pink loose hanging top and white shorts to school today. My friends said I looked like I got back straight from the beach. Hahaha!

This heat is crazy.

As well as my Theology long test and final exam tomorrow.

(Yes, we’ll be taking two exams of the same course tomorrow. ‘Cause that’s just how our professor rolls. /cries in a corner)

More David Things. | Hurray for overly exposed shots. And hurray for more David!

Finally got to buy this cardigan that David wore in his Bench photoshoot. Been wanting to buy it the very first time I saw his photos with it. Not only do I like the actual pattern and design of the cardigan, even David sported it! More reason to have it in my life.

David’s bench clothes’ shopping doesn’t end there, though. I still have to get that orange plaid in one of his photos. Hahaha, what is this obsession, my goodness.

Oh, I also passed this entry photo for the “DA2014 We Will Be Here” Project for David Archuleta. I have yet to send my personal letter to him though - only ten days left before he leaves for his mission!

Goodness gracious, everything in my life is David Archuleta and nothing hurts.

Yay - School Spirit! | After almost three years of studying in Ateneo, I finally got the time to buy myself an Ateneo sweatshirt.

I wasn’t planning on buying anything similar to a jacket until senior year before I graduate; all this time the merchandise I only buy with the name of my school printed on it is a shirt, if not an Org shirt. 

But heck, my friend bought an Ateneo jacket for herself last Monday too - and I thought to myself, ‘Ah, screw it. I’m buying one tomorrow while I have the money to do so.’ I mean, the designs of the school apparels this season are actually pretty cool.

Bought it yesterday and wore it today - because I’m an excited school girl. LOL.

Now let me end this entry with my ‘bangs get in the way of my studying/surfing so I tied it with a ponytail’ photo; a.k.a. me at the moment. Pineapple!

Hello, random set of webcam photos with the huge Rilakkuma stuff toy my friends got for me back in one of the crane games when I was in Japan.

Comm class finished two hours early, so I came back home earlier than usual. Got time to rest for a bit and then study for my second Statistics test. I don’t understand why I can’t seem to love the subject; I get motivated to study but once I look at my notes, all the motivation I had a few seconds ago jumps out of the window. Sigh, Statistics and I don’t love each other; but I hope we’ll manage. 

Anyhow — personal schedule slash to-do list for this afternoon:

• Mail Comm teacher regarding the group project
• Read Theology notes
• Internet stuff
• Rest for a bit/Take a short nap
• Start reviewing for Stat until 8:30 pm
• Drop everything and watch Nandito Ako from 9 pm
• Fangirl about today’s episode over the net
• Try studying for Statistics again.

Hope I get these done.
