The best conversations.
When you’ve lost track of time, when you just feel that connection, that spark. When you’d look at your phone and see that it’d been more than an hour. Where you’d talk for so long, then suddenly think ”How did we end up talking about this?!” The best conversations are the ones where you don’t even need to worry or think of what to say.. you just do because you’re just that comfortable.
I found me my wedding dress!
So okay it’s from Harry Potter, but the dress is so pretty!

Last Saturday Night
Ray’s hot chocolate
Mixed berries tea. 58 Php. Tastes interesting. Sweet with pulp.
TEAM 6 (From the back, L to R) Sir Nicolo Yu, Jessa, Ishna, Kimberly, Elijah, Me, Ray, Mingkay
Break time.
R-MG (rich mean girls, that’s what they call themselves. Hahaha. They’re missing Shola tho.)
We tied with Swagger during the 3rd round. But for the 4th set, we sucked the big one on the Emmy Awards. I really should have read those Yahoo! articles on Emmy. These things I know for sure, Charlie Sheen presented Lead Actor in a Comedy Series; Jane Lynch hosted it; Jim Parsons is the undisputed Lead Actor winner!
Geek of Fame!
Ended around 11:30 pm. We got our prizes! Foodie!
See you around Trivia Night frequenters. Til next month!
I’m a girl in search of a word in a world of numbers. I let go of a few dreams in order to make room for one because it’s better to do one thing really well. I know that my struggles and ambition will amount to something bigger than myself.
Succumb
I have always hated the word succumb. It’s almost always associated with cancer.
It means to fail to overpower, to give up, to give in. Being used in headlines and sentences that end in cancer connotes that cancer is a disease that is yet to be reckoned with. That nobody has yet to overpower it.
I hate that word. I hate it more than the word hate.
Condolences to Camille Prats. You’re too young to be a widow but you have the rest of your young life to start over.
Dear Future Boyfriend,
I really wish I knew who you were so I wouldn’t be afraid anymore.
Love,
Me

Some trek for hours or brave a river’s strong current to get to school.
Others study their lessons by the faint glow of a lamp or in the throes of hunger, having been forced to make do without dinner. Still others labor at odd jobs—from doing the nails of strangers to working nights at the canteen—to raise money for tuition.
Bagobo teacher Anabel Ponce Ungcad has gone through it all. And the past is still painful, the tears quickly flow.
But the 30-year-old is encouraged by the present and how she can change the future: As the first college graduate of her tribe on the slopes of Mount Apo, she is giving back by helping members of her community transcend the limitations of their circumstances.
“The situation of our tribe prompted me to take up education because I saw their need to learn. They were so thirsty for education but we had no school,” Ungcad told the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
“Now, I’m the one giving them hope. Who else will help them get an education but someone from their own tribe?” she said, her voice breaking.

I’m sorry I’m still watching Glee. It’s non-negotiable, I’m afraid. I feel as if not watching Glee would be like leaving a relationship with a jaded lover hanging, like I would never find out exactly why we never worked out.
Thus the third season.
Always,
Bea
This. Glee is nothing special anymore.
“Statistically, the probability of any one of us being here is so small that the mere fact of our existence should keep us all in a state of contented dazzlement.”

Don’t you feel a little sad after you finish reading a book that you have so thoroughly enjoyed reading? I always feel like I am saying goodbye to someone I have known quite well. A bit weird really.
Why do people say 'grow some balls'? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna get tough, grow a vagina. Those things take a pounding.
“Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in a love in a quite absolute, final way.
What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination will affect everything.
It will decide what will get you out of bed in the mornings, what you will do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude.
Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.” — Pedro Arrupe, S.J.
This is exactly why I love my university.

What Am I Doing Here?: This was my Friday →

Bumped into Jim, Chiqui and Karen. My Debate Circle friends.
Angel Carbajal and Ate Sig. And the Miss Kagay-an crown.
Aries, Juna, Pax and Sigrid.
Today I had class in the morning and had two meetings-twooo!-in the afternoon and I thought having gotten to sleep in…
Thanks to the always-on-call-documentation one girl team, Ling. :)
The meeting was stressful but fun. Stressful because we realized we were a long way to go and fun because of the occasional sarcasm and of course, Ms. Angel - Ms. Cagayan de Oro 2011.
She was too nice by the way. Very soft-spoken and immediately struck me as a smart girl with a good head above her shoulders. Well deserved win.
Productive week! Hello weekend.
