HAPPY, HAPPY 25TH ANNIVERSARY, MAMA AND PAPA!

It’s been a long and winding journey, but you’re still together, facing everything with us. We love you both to the core

Looking forward to your 50th anniversary! ;P

‘Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds.’ When life gets hard, when things change, true love remains the same. I look at them and some how I feel safer. I don’t know if I can explain that, but they give me hope.  –Brooke Davis, One Tree Hill

Why A Daughter Needs A Dad By Gregory E. Lang

Book Bargain

After finishing my exam in just less than five minutes (and I’m pretty sure I aced that test), I went to Booksale for some book hoarding hunting. Then I stumbled upon this very interesting book by T. Thomas Fortune:

It’s entitled Black and White: Land, Labor, and Politics in the South. It’s basically about white racism, and how although slavery was already abolished a long time ago, it still continues but in a different [and terrible] form.

The book’s really interesting not only because it tells us how inequality and racial prejudice are in no way acceptable and gone, but also because I just got it for 10php! Awesome, right?

So I guess I’ll be reading this baby before my next class (which is at 3pm). Happy reading!

Graduating, Finally!

So, after 5 years and a semester to go in college, I am finally graduating!

I'm associating myself with the one in the middle

Horaaayyyy! It feels G-double O-D gooooooood!

Failbook

I used to spend almost all my time with lovely dovey Facebook. Now, I can’t even have the time to scroll down my news feed for updates and all. Gahd, I can’t even post anything. All I can do as of the mean time is check my messages. Sometimes, I check notifications, sometimes, just messages. I haven’t been updating my blogs as well., and that really sucks more than not having time for Facebook.

This busy schedule has been affecting my virtual life in a big way. My blogs have been my outlet for years now. I just have this need to rant and rant about bad days, and since everyday’s a bad day, it’s really stressful that I can’t take those out on my blog. Haish. Depressing.

I am thankful that I have the time (even just a few minutes) to rant about this and check my notifications and hundreds of unread Plurks.

I need a life. I seriously do.

I hope that I would also have the time to be with my friends and revive my social life. This is killing me. Big time.
