the perils of

        Do you know how it feels when you're running a marathon, and you realize that you're almost at the finish line? Do you know what it's like to push yourself to run harder and faster - ignoring the frantic beating of your heart and the tiredness of your lungs - because you know that the end is only a few more breaths away?         I've never run a marathon, so I wouldn't know! But right now, there are less than three weeks before the final exams. Figuratevely speaking, I can feel this run coming to a finish.        Before the semester ends, I should probably post all the pictures of things I'd been meaning to blog about. I know I've hardly been blogging these past few months, and that I usually just post once every four weeks (a stark contrast to my 2010 record of about 20+ posts per month). To make up for that, here's everything you missed. July A mini-museum was put up in the Ateneo de Manila Grade Sch...

Yesterday my mom and the rest of the Co Family came to Manila as a stopover before going to China today. So naturally, I spent most of yesterday afternoon shopping with them. We went to Eastwood and checked out the bazaar. My mom noticed how "old-looking" clothes are the trend these days. Like the stuff that was fashionable before are the same things that are fashionable today. After checking out the clothes (and not buying any), we wandered into the mall and ate food. When we got back to my Twa-E's house for dinner, my mom bestowed onto me some gifts she brought from home. YAY!!! I got a jar of mangosteen preserves, which I originally bought as a souvenir for Rap and his family from my summer trip to Dapitan  a month ago. I wasn't able to bring the preserves to my plane ride coming to Manila, because for some reason, airline authorities do not allow glass jars of preserved fruit on airplanes. (And apparently, heavy wooden hitting sticks are less of a security ...

I'll just cut the usual "I'm so sorry I haven't been updating" blather, because I HAVE BEEN BUSY AS HECK and I don't need to apologize for that. If anything, the universe should apologize to me for taking away my free time!!! Kidding. Please don't smite me and take my food :c Last Saturday Instead of NSTP, I  went with my friends Jules and AC to an event called Celebrate Life Program, organized through a partnership between Kythe Ateneo and Musikero  (<-- click that!). We went to the children's cancer ward in a public hospital somewhere in Quezon City and we put on a musical skit for the kids. I had a pretty tiny role in the story; all I had to do was play the guitar when it was time for the main characters to sing. But I loved my part thoroughly. When we started performing, a lot of the kids didn't bother with what we were doing, but a few of them were very enthusiastic about participating. They volunteered and exclaimed and everything! W...

. 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.
