OH YEAH!!! At long last, I've finally gotten an A on something: an essay for Filipino! I now get this nice medal stamped on my paper. Ahh, it fills me with pride.
Hahaha! I'm surprised you still have time to check this blog, what with all the reminiscing you've been doing lately! Haha. Thanks dad! I'm hoping for a nice, big, fat juicy A on tomorrow's Chemistry exam! \m/
A snapshot of me today: Constantly thinking about my 6 baby succulents and worrying their health On Chapter 38 of Pride and Prejudice Invited high school friends to a birthday party on Saturday. I have not had a birthday party with friends in a loooong time. Strong thunderstorm hit at 12 AM, when it turned May 26. Interesting sign. Just watched 2 episodes of Tiny House Nation on FYI and about to halfheartedly watch a third Presents acquired so far, in order of presentation: the Mammoth Creative Design Bundle from Rap, a silver necklace from Mom, and a nice wallet from Yaya Grace 36 birthday messages on my Timeline, and more in my phone and on my mom's Timeline.

SMART. and I feel like I know nothing . Intelligence is quite evenly distributed across the Health Promotion Bureau team members - hell, even our admin assistant has a masters degree! When I was in the barrios, I felt like brainpower was more concentrated in some people more than others (if you know, you know). And when I was in the barrios, people would make such a huge...
I've got a ton of things to work on tonight, but thanks to my short attention span and my inability to commit myself to doing one task at a time, I shall blog! Hooray for unproductivity!

It's about two superheroes named Soaperman and Sipilyo Ranger, and here's what a bit of the comic strip looks like: I do hope I can finish it in time, what with all my procrastination and blogging.

Lunch was, again, siomai (which, thanks to aforementioned Fil partner, I now know is made from "pig and old pig"). ...
Congrats, dear!!! Reminds me of how it felt to get an A. (But then again, i got so many, i forgot how it felt NOT to get an A) mwehehehe!
