the perils of

You know what, one thing that's been bugging me lately is that I haven't been getting any free stuff. I mean, I'm a blogger. I get readers. And bloggers who get readers should also get free things, right? Strangely, nobody's been sending me anything! What's up with that? It's customary, you see, to send bloggers things. Cosmetics, food, clothes, phone cases... You name it, a blogger has been sent it. It's practically canon. Tricia Gosingtian gets free things all the time. So does Saab Magalona, and Vernice Enciso. Companies scramble over each other to send these bloggers wonderful, wonderful things. These girls probably have enough free stuff to last them lifetimes. And here I am, free stuff-less! What's wrong with you, marketing deparments of companies! Can't you see that my blog is worth reading? That I am a seasoned blogger who writes interesting blogs that people like to read? Can you not see that I am in desperate want of a free macaron, o...

30,000+ VIEWS!!! I'm guessing that about half of that came from my parents, and the other half is from search results for "college girl with no life outside the Internet and is pausing an episode of Game of Thrones right now to update her blog." Is this good? 30k? Is that more or less than what an average blogger gets, considering this site has been up for two years already? That's not important, I guess. So let me just go ahead and celebrate this trivial little victory with a small pat on the back. [pat on the back] Done! Now on to some less trivial things. I went to Cravings Katipunan for an unlimited breakfast with AC and Cheryl. Yay! I haven't talked to them in a while because of our differing schedules. Not being blockmates anymore suuuucks. Anyway I had beef tapa, while Cheryl had the longganisa and AC had pancakes. I enjoyed my food, and there was an endless supply of coffee to go with it. And unlimited Honey Stars, too. Classy. I brought my...

Guess what just happened on my blog yesterday! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Sooooo let's all just pretend I posted this a day earlier and say HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY TO MY BLOG! Woohoo! *cue self-congratulating little dance* \:D/ Just a recap of the minimal activity that's been going on here: Last post, I asked you what song you would like playing at your season finale if your life were a TV show. I was looking over all your wonderful comments earlier, and I saw that a lot of your songs were about dying. I didn't exactly mean death when I said "season finale," because season finales are, after all, the closing of just one part of a story and not necessarily the end of the entire story altogether. But anyway, you gave me really awesome answers (except maybe for "Be a Man," which just made me go WTH! good song, but good finale song? ehh). It's really hard to pick a winner, so instead I picked THREE. Hooray for indecision! So, in no order, here are the so...

        I thought my blog was getting a bit boring, so I decided to shake things up a bit by changing the layout. What do you think? I personally enjoy the darkness and the simplicity of my new theme. Check out the classy white border around the header, reminiscent of the Renaissance period. The picture of the Grim Reaper sitting atop a pile of skulls is also a nice touch, don't you think? It is a reminder to cherish every second of life we have left before we end up empty skulls underneath Death's tushie. Plus, the squiggly text that says MYSPACEBRAND underneath the picture just encapsulates the mangy grunge feel I knew this blog had always lacked.       I'm kidding, of course. If you haven't guessed already, I changed my layout because I lost a bet to Rap . Thanks for not showing up to class, Mr. Javier. :|       (I'd post this drawing I made just now of me with an ice cream cone to brighten things up in here a bit,...

Oh, 2010. You went by so quickly. You filled up so many diary pages. So many things happened. And so many people came into my life. And I shall miss you.

You know how you can password-protect Word files? Well, I keep a file like that in my laptop to use as a virtual diary. I've been writing in it since the summer of 2009. I mention this because I was going over my old entries yesterday, and I remembered how apathetic I had become during my last year of high school. Take for example this snippet I found, dated Thursday, August 20, 2009, 10:25 pm: My life is so bleak. I wish I could just break away from all of this, you know? Break away... Unhinge myself from this bleakness that I seem to be so lost in. Somehow I wish  I could go somewhere to get lost. To wander around. To find myself. And when I come back, I'll be refreshed and shiny and new again. Not like what I am now: so dull. So normal. So... jaded? God. SO BLEAK. So bleak I can’t stand it anymore.  I HAVE NO LIFE. Seriously. It’s all just Facebook. It's all just school, and homework, and endless sleep, and unfulfilled dreams. For reasons I can't divulge on the In...

. Am I taking this blogging thing too seriously? Because last night I dreamt that while I was sleeping, my mom accessed my Blogger account and then edited one of my blog posts! Pshh. Whatever. Sure, my mom helps me out when I write important essays and such, but online, she leaves me alone to make all the grammar and speelling erors i wantts. Anyway, on to my main point. I'm going to try to start posting picture each day here on my blog. . Why am I doing it? For teh lulz. Here it is: my first Random Picture of the Day found in a certain thrift store in a certain popular Kagay-anon mall. Mmmm. Donots.
