“That’s the second time you almost died this month.” (referring to me falling down the stairs this morning, and being in a bus crash last week)
I’m guessing that’s my dad’s way of showing he loves me?

Something to always remember.
Don’t be too quick to judge. A lot of people are capable of a lot of things.

Canon 50mm f/1.4 USM
So, my favorite lens, the nifty 50mm f/1.8 died on me yesterday. Can’t blame it. That was my third of the lens. The first one, I don’t know how or why it broke. I was utterly devastated when I brought out my camera bag to find that it was already split in two. The second, a blockmate of mine left it on a drafting table and it slid off. This one, I guess is my own fault. My bag was on...

On my bunnies
This is to Bum and to Preen. Yes, we finally gave them names. Also, this is for AF because I believe they deserve to know. I’m also doing this for myself because I know I don’t want to keep repeating this same sad story.
I got two bunnies as a birthday gift from “Archi friends”, or so it said in the gift registry. They were adorable, really! One was a dirty grayish brown...

Some of my favorite lines from a song is this,
Don’t fly so high So high, little bird You’ll get your wings clipped Pick it up, pick it up now you learn
Just a note thrown out there. Keep your feet on the ground. Your pride can be your own downfall.

In the middle of editing AF Recharge pictures! :)
But I’ve to go to Ateneo now. We’re having Brix’s kite flying day and then tomorrow we’re gonna go to Parañaque for Grandpa’s birthday. I’m getting excited to have my first roll of film (in a while) developed! I used Tito Mick’s debut gift, a Colorsplash Lomo cam. :D

Just a thought
I can’t get myself to trust people I’ve seen lie and pretend to be something they’re not so well. Can you?

On my 18th
I haven’t been blogging again mostly because of the preparations for my debut last Saturday, January 28, 2012. It was held in EDSA Shangri-la Hotel and my guests were comprised mainly of immediate family and a select few of my parents’ closest friends, my high school friends, a few of my ID blockmates, my Arki batchmates, and of course, AF.
Initially, I didn’t want a debut. I...

Sorry for the nega vibes.
I’m expecting any private message to be sent via text, Facebook, or even Tumblr, for the next 4 hours to be disappointing. Maybe I should just stop checking. Kasi naman, asa nang asa. Tuloy.
Would anyone else like to cancel? :) :) :) :) :)

012212: Photoshoot
I’m thankful for Nadine and Bea who were able to pull through. I’m sure they had lots of things to do but they stayed with me during the shoot to help me loosen up. It helped so much, guys. You have no idea. Even if they were just sitting there, it was so comforting to know that someone who actually knew me was there. So glad.

On running for Architecture Student Council
This is what I told my closest friends who knew I was considering running for a position in council:
I might not run anymore. It’s because I’d rather give my time to AF. I mean, di naman sa I don’t care for the college, I’d still volunteer my help if anyone needs it, but, I think I’d rather exert my efforts for AF. And if...

UAP: Official Position on CE Bills →
“A typical civil engineering course does not include a single unit of architectural design, planning or drafting. On the other hand, a typical architecture course has ten semesters of mainstream architecture (design, planning, graphics, visual techniques, etc.), and units in building technology and engineering sciences similar to civil engineering. Moreover, in order to qualify for the...

So, apparently, UPCAT results came out today! Congratulations to the new batch of freshies that will be roaming our campus next year! I’m so excited for you!!! Let me just share a status message of one of my Arki friends:
Kung feeling mong matalino ka dahil pumasa ka ng UPCAT, maghanda ka nang magmukhang tanga kasi lahat ng nasa UP ay mas matalino sa’yo.
Congrats to the UPCAT...

Now I begin to wonder if those people who say they’re attending have actually even started looking for a dress to wear or considering how they’ll get there. I wonder if they’ve jotted it down on their planners or BlackBerry’s or if they’ve even mentioned it to their parents.
It just kind of hurts. Sorry. Anyway, I think I’ve started to get used to that numb...
