Not the Book Review I Promised

I saw this: 

Original site here.

And just thought that, if you didn't already know, the company that owns Dove also owns Axe, which advertises the women that men want to attract like this:

Which is really sad since this basically makes them liars. Such a waste since the message they send with Dove is brilliant.

I have no problem calling the girls they use in the Axe ads pretty or sexy or beautiful, because they are. I just wish they would be more open to diverse kinds of beauty or sexiness.

Yeah. That's pretty much it for the night.

White Rabbit

"I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date!" - White Rabbit

I told you guys this was going to be hard for me, first "scheduled" post and I'm already starting it an hour and 49minutes late. But I'll try to get better as time goes on. No promises other than that I'll try.
So I've been watching a ton of movies and reading tons of books to pass time before school starts, which is in a few hours (and my body clock's still messed up. Damn.) I'll list a few of them down and give a sentence-contained review for each of them.

Movies:

Sisterakas: Storyline was so-so, punchlines were awesome.

Sosy Problems: Pretty, exaggeratedly conyo girls who lacked comedic timing and scriptwriters with no real dedication to their story.

Life of Pi: The entire experience of being in line for a rollercoaster until the moment you finally get to ride it. (I'm assuming, since I hate rollercoasters.)

Rise of the Guardians: I am in lust with Jack Frost and in love with the Sandman.

Django Unchained: Bloody but significant.

My Neighbor Totoro: Nostalgia incarnate. (Might just be for me, though.)

Pitch Perfect: Acca-tastic, yes I said it, and just do you know all of them can sing.

There are so many more, but I'm too lazy to post the others. Sorry...

Damn it. My dad's telling me to go to bed or I won't wake up for class tomorrow.

I will post the books tomorrow. I hope. I will try.

I'm Back

Ok. I've been gone for 6months and every now and then I'm like, 'I should write in my blog. People are gonna think I did have cancer and died.' but then I'm too lazy or too busy or just so uninspired that I don't even bother. So I've let you go and think that I've been dead. I'm such a selfish bitch.
But now, I'm back. And hopefully I'll be updating twice a week. I have come to realize that daily updates is just not possible for me. I don't have the discipline to keep it up.
So to update you with my life since I stopped blogging last year, we'll do a really quick post, no pictures. My hair grew back over summer break, and it was pretty good until the end of first term and it started falling out again. Did a couple of hikes and a lot of surf trips. Friend left, then came back within a month when she was supposed to be gone for a year. Then... Big fights and Christmas break and now it's a new year. Uneventful to say the least.
So yeah, that's pretty much it for now. I'll be updating every Wednesday and a weekend. I hope. I will do my best.

Words of Encouragement

There aren't that many spoken in this house.
I'm just so disappointed in the lack of support and optimism and faith my parents have in me and my sister. It's not that they're not supportive at all, it's that a lot of the time, I don't think they're supportive enough. I know that we might not exactly deserve their encouragement as of late, what with us not being start students, at times not even average, but could you not be so pessimistic?

Seriously. I know you're being honest about our abilities based on our past performance, but could you just not? At least once in a while? Can't you abide by the rule 'if you've got nothing good to say, don't say anything at all' or react negatively? You taught us that, could you live by it?

I'm making my parents sound totally unsupportive. They're not. They're really just, as I said, honest about our abilities based on our past performance.
It's not like they go, 'you can't do it', it's more like they make a comment or a facial expression that we just KNOW is meant to discourage us from getting our hopes too high. Probably so they don't drop and crumble if we fail. Which is a good thing. I guess.

I just wish they were the parents who are just like, 'YOU CAN DO IT!' even if they have no idea what their kids are trying to achieve. Even if it's just once in a while. Or even just once.

I don't think they've ever lied to us even to just let us delusion ourselves into thinking that we could do absolutely anything we wanted.

Anyway, I'm rambling. And I just wanted to dedicate this to my sister. Who has a bright future ahead of her. Know that I believe in you. I do. A lot of other people do too. We're just not wired the way some people wish we were. And they are looking out for your future, in the way you know how, which is just not always in the way you'd like.

101Years, 4 Days and Counting

Last Friday, we celebrated the closing of DLSU's centennial celebration. There were performances in the new Henry Sy Sr. Building, a bazaar in the Yuchengco lobby and of course, the day ended with fireworks. It's time like these that you can really see the love La Sallians have for their school. As cheesy as it seems, I really do believe that school become homes. La Sallians have formed families with their schoolmates and professors. It's kind of amazing that La Salle schools have been able to provide such an environment for 101 years, and I bet, will continue to do so for many more years to come.


First steps into Henry Sy Sr. Building with Star.

Extremely long drumming and cheering sequence before the fireworks.

The fireworks. Finally. What everyone was waiting for. And it was definitely worth the wait. So for those of you who missed it, here it is.

Show of La Salle pride ended the night aside from the L-A-S-A-L-L-I-A-N! song which got stuck in everyone head.

Can't wait for the next celebration that'll be like this.
ANIMO!

It's Medley Time

I haven't posted in a looong while and I have so many videos lined up. They're kinda late in the events of my life but still kinda fun to watch. For me, at least.
So yeah, my sister wanted to do a medley of Eyes Open by Taylor Swift and The Broken Ones by Dia Frampton. So we messed around with it a bit and this was the result.
Her birthday's coming up in a bit so send your love! Comment on the video or on this blog post!
So... what else... hmmmm. I think that's pretty much it. I have to set up a schedule for my blogging since school just started up again. it's most likely going to be blog posts every Wednesday and Saturday/Sunday. So expect a new post in the next few days.
So, here's the video and I hope you guys like it!

Oh, my friend, Sean, wanted to hear me sing so that's partly why I decided to post this. If you wish you didn't have to hear my voice, blame him.

Insomnia, Illegal Car Rides and Monster Pet Shops

Fun car ride with Laura after welcoming the CCS and SOE froshies with some of my orgmates to DLSU during the first round of welcoming for the LPEP week. Don't feel like writing much today so I hope you have as much fun watching the video as I did recording it.
