Day 2

Day 2: something that’s illegal but you think it should be legal


Same sex marriage. 

Cause I believe that love is far greater than gender biases. When you've experienced true love, you would understand more. Sometimes you can't choose whom to have extreme and sincere feelings for. If you can, then love would not be as magical as we, or at least I, think it is. Everyone should have a shot at happiness with the person they love, regardless who they choose to love. I don't understand why some people are being judgmental gits about this. And I don't get it that something like Divorce is legal but Same Sex Marriage isn't. Such a twisted world we live in and I really hope that one day it'll all change.

Day 1

Day 1: hopes, dreams, and plans for the next 365 days with a picture of yourself




Cause I wanna start dressing like a decent lady already.

Hopes, dreams and plan. I don't know how to pull this off with a decently written entry so I'm doing this through conventional bullets. 


  • First and foremost and probably the most urgent thing this year: THESIS. Well, I hope my partner and I will get through this alive. I hope all of us will. May we have the patience to just keep going even if the non-progressive days might dampen our spirits. With hardwork, determination, faith and cooperative hardware tools, we will. 
  • Be fit. Not really skinny. Just healthy so that I get to live a 100 years or longer with my husband. And I want to start dressing decently and be more confident with how I look cause I'll be starting my  professional career soon. I hope that even if I'm tired after school I could still push myself to just move and release those extra pounds. And I promise to be more watchful of things that I eat. I will seriously work on it cause I have my wonderful support group ( brother and boyfriend at least )
  • Graduate this year. Cause I've been studying engineering for six years already. I know some people from my university would say that it's normal and that I shouldn't worry about it cause I would graduate eventually. But I want to please my parents by just graduating. It would mean a lot to them more than it would to me. And I really really want them to be proud of me even if they think that I'm just laid back when it comes to my studies. Believe me, If I had a choice I would have graduated on time. So yeah. I hope things would go smoothly as I have planned so that I can graduate. All I need is a chance. 
  • Train to become a Biomedical Engineer. Truth be told I wanted to take a premed course during college but I thought it would be too expensive to enter Med School and I'm horrendously terrified of frogs. I wouldn't think that I could get pass all the dissection classes. I decided to take up ECE instead cause  I wanted to go to Taiwan before. But reasons like that couldn't really count so my stay in college gave me a lot of realizations on what I really wanted to be. I haven't really given up my dream to be in the field of Medicine. I just took a whole different path to get there. I hope I could train for companies in the Health/Medical Industry to kick off my future career. And to get bio units for this too. And when I have extra money in the future I would enter Med School. But that would be really really far from the present.
  • Be closer to God. I don't really go to church occasionally and I haven't been really a faithful Catholic but I really don't believe wholly in religion. I just believe in God. And I want to strengthen my bond with Him in my own ways. In what ways, I will figure out soon.
  • More outing with friends and loved-ones. Like this February we will have our Iloilo trip (Thank You Cebu Pacific) and on June our Cebu Trip. I want to go to places when I already have a less tight schedule due to academics. I want to go to Nayong Pilipino again, which I recently found out to be in Clark already. I want to go to Cavite and Batangas and visit Greggi's relatives. I want go explore places that I've never been before even Intramuros or Manila Zoo. Just somewhere new and fun. 
  • Learn how to budget seriously. So I could start my lifetime savings and will not have to rely to my parents all the time. 
  • Be more outgoing. I'm shy, if that's not obvious. I don't really talk to people unless I've been talking to them for awhile already.   This might cause me a lot of problems when I get out of school and into the real world. I just feel awkward when I'm around people I'm not close with. Help me, please? 
  • Learh how to swim. Cause it sucks to seat by the stairs of the pool while your friends are having the time of their lives.
  • Be a better person. Well everyday I work on it. Cause everyday's a new day, right?
So that's a concrete plan that I will work hard for the whole year. As for the hopes part, I just hope this will be a good year not just for me but for my famliy, my friends and for the whole world.  

Oh, and for the dream. I hope Mayday Parade decides to come back to the Philippines when I have already graduated. Hihihi. \m/

The 365 Day Challenge


Happy New Year! I can't think of anything witty or smart to say but I wish you all had a great New Year's Eve celebration and I wish that all of you will have the heart and determination to strive hard for all your resolutions, if you ever did come up with a list.

2012 will make huge impact on my future life. This is the year where I should finally make up my mind on what I really wanna be and who I wanna be. This scares me and I'm seriously frightened that I might screw things up the way I did last year. But I still have this well-lit hope in me saying that things would work the way I want them if I just work harder towards what I really want. Surely, there's a place for every one of us in this vast world we live in where we could be happy and contented. I'll find mine eventually.

Cutting the melodramatic crap, I found this 365 day challenge that everyone's  been talking about at Tumblr. I'm thinking of doing it too. I know I have tons to do now that classes have resume but what is 5-10 minutes of non-academics thoughts could do to me? Who knows it might help alleviate stress. And I pray to the spirits  of blogosphere that they help me make this a constant thing. All of us needs consistency every once in a while. So yeah. Day 1 starts in a few minutes.
