now the chase is on.

I kind of miss painting. It's funny because I got into CFA - PAINTING. Hahahaha. No but seriously, it always seems like such a chore.

To be honest, painting really is more challenging. Paint can be a harder medium than pens and colored pencils or pastels, sometimes.

I think it also seems like a chore to me because you need the palette, constantly clean your brushes, a water container, a canvas, patience to wait for the paint to dry.

Also the smell is an issue. Truthfully, it isn't that much of an issue to me. I breathe paint, lol not to get high or anything hahahaha. But you know, it's a familiar scent. Will always be. But my mother has this issue with it `cause it isn't good, you know. And I don't want to open my windows because lol spiders always enter ugh. And I detest spiders. So much. Just typing down the word gives me shivers. Ugh.

As much as I can, I'll try to get back to it before school starts. And I know that there will only be a few days left when I get back from Singapore, but it's always worth a try. I feel like I need to refresh myself as much as I can because I'm going to be starting my majors right when the first day comes.

It is quite intimidating, to be honest. I mean, I sort of feel like I'm going to be so amateur and so young to be taking majors immediately. They usually come in the second or third year, sometimes. And the fact that it's coming in my freshman year sort of intimidates me a bit. But I need to get rid of that intimidation as soon as possible because that is all that the college wants to do to you. Intimidate you and make you crack under the pressure. For a good reason, I presume. Haha! No, but seriously. I'm sure it's just to push the students to make them excel. They call themselves "iskolars ng bayan" for a reason.

Random thoughts.

But at least I'm updating.

TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE.

Talent Determination Test Qualifiers for the Department of Studio Arts (Painting)
Hihihihi

I don’t know how to thank anybody, really. I want to give EVERYONE the biggest hug I could ever give. Most epecially, You, Lord. For all the days of my life, ever since I was a little kid, this is was my college dream. I don’t know why I even deserve this (especially knowing how the test went HAHA).

thank you, thank You, SO MUCH. I cannot contain my happiness and the way my heart is racing and the way I can feel it booming out of my chest right now. Thank You. Thank You!!


*endless happy dance*

disregard the footsteps and we'll never tell a soul.

Haven't posted in a while. So here's like a quick update of things.

So it may be February 21 but it's still February 14 at our house. Church friends decorated our tree by cutting out hearts from a Red Ribbon cake box. And they got a heart shaped balloon and perched it on top. It's a really cute idea actually. The background story of this was that we started our holiday decorations late. We put up our tree and lights up real late, like a few days before actual Christmas, so we decided to have our decor stay longer. 

Tiramisu cake, Red Ribbon

At least I think this is a Tiramisu cake. My parents' Bible Study group brought this over in celebration of one of their members' birthday. It was really good. <3

Mom's special chocolate cake

No bias, but this is actually one of the only chocolate cakes I really like. Cause for some reason, I actually don't like chocolate cakes. No matter how famous the brand is or how much people say they like it. Anyway, Mom's has this coffee-butter filling inside and double chocolate icing on top. Mmmm

Ninong Ruben's despedida

My Ninong came back from the States. Before he had to leave again, we hosted a despedida for him at our house and also a 'happy birthday' celebration, hence the cake.

Sunken Garden, UP Diliman

We were actually stuck in the mud when I took this picture. We went to the UP fair last Friday, and we accidentally entered through the exit of the fair. It was so so so incredibly muddy, omg. Like that was the number one thing that ruined the entire fair. I tried not to let it get to me though. But I have to admit that it sucked big-time. The mud.

A few other pictures I took at the fair:

L-R: Whang, Me, Tan

Me and Tan!

Abby and I!

Nightynight, world.

I'll call you the real thing.

I guess every once in a while, everyone receives their share of wake-up calls. And I just received mine just today about f r i e n d s h i p. 
To value it more. To appreciate the people who will possess that friendship. Because they might be way more special than you think they already are.
There are so many sweet, precious people around me. Time to take care of them like they're silver and gold.
