2011: The Highlights (Photodump)

2011-12-17T13:53:00.001+08:00

It felt like it was just 2009 - that year I regret so much because I feel I've wasted it. Year 2010 came like a knight in shining armor, saving me from a drowning ship. Year 2011 came as awesome, and it ended not with a sizzle, but with a BANG!

This year was a roller coaster of laughter and tears. I may have failed at some point, but I think if not for those failures, the year wouldn't be challenging and fun enough.

I am so looking forward to 2012, and what it has to offer.

P.S. Some photos are not mine. Credits to the owners.

2011-12-17T01:28:00.002+08:00

On random nights like this, I end up over-analyzing my life.

I feel like I have developed a very loose grasp on my dreams - like anytime, they could fly away and I'd never be able to touch them again. I do not have concrete plans in my life. I always say that I'm carefree and I don't want things planned but deep inside, I really want to anticipate what's gonna happen.

I remember as a child, I would write the things I want to do when I grow up. These include things such as being the president, going to outer space, being a teacher, doctor, or engineer, a famous star and someone the people would always remember. I want to leave an impact. I want to leave a legacy. I was very idealistic.

And then time went by. Slowly, those dreams I wrote on that piece of paper started walking away. No. Actually, I think it was I who let these dreams go.

I'm not saying that being realistic is bad. It isn't. It made me more resourceful and open-minded, but at the same time it pulled me to settling for what's practical based on the realities I perceive.

Those dreams I wrote on that piece of paper, they aren't part of the reality I'm talking about.

I miss the eight-year-old Joanne. Please come back and punch me in the face.

Bound

2011-09-05T15:12:00.002+08:00

This is my desperate approach in saving my sleep-deprived Monday. :)

I am very stressed and tired right now, but I do not want to start my week this way so I opened my planner and doodled happy stuff. It actually helps!

I miss my friends.

The month of August and its toxic days.

2011-08-11T22:08:00.003+08:00

Exams, reports, papers, proposals - the eternal requirements.

July has been a tough month and so is August. I see requirements come and go. And this afternoon when the schedule for thesis proposal defense was released, the thought that I am already graduating sank in.

This morning, I was kinda upset because I woke up late and therefore, was not able to do things. However, I received an email from someone. IT ALMOST MADE ME CRY. No, seriously. Haha. It has been a month since I had this thesis topic, but things happened so I had to change it. Fortunately, I like this new one more. I am so happy. <3

Right now, I want to shop. I want some new stuff. I know I have been an over spender for the past months, or maybe years but I just need it now. I want to get that feeling of having something that represents you somehow, something that is just yours.

LOL, reasons. :))

Whatever. I swore that I'd be thrifty from now on. I won't buy things I do not need.

Chem114 First Exam results were released already. I passed! Haha. Without so much studying. :D

Do not let anyone deprive you of what you deserve.

Utopia

2011-08-09T00:24:00.002+08:00

We walk this aisle of

love; sweet and serene

nonchalance of ours

Cover the meadows

of uncertainty

that lie ahead of us

Dancing in colors

and shades of delight,

the sought utopia

Invade our meekness

and its tenfold the

joy we ought to feel.

Last day of July.

2011-07-31T13:07:00.002+08:00

Time fleets so fast.

I realized it's the last day of July already. It's August 1 tomorrow. ♥

Just had my lunch, Creamy Pesto with Chicken Parmigiana from Brooklyn. They don't have delivery fee! Yeyy.

Sometimes, you have to let go of memories, things, and even people. Truly, there are better things ahead.

Sigh.

2011-07-30T18:09:00.002+08:00

We have to meet halfway.

It hurts me that even if I am willing to, nobody cares anymore. Worst, nadadamay pa yung iba.

Insensitivity.

2011-07-29T21:18:00.004+08:00

Why are some people so insensitive?

I can't review. I think I completely lost the will to do so. And maybe because of the stress these poor guys are giving me.

On other note, they are so funny. So lame. Haha.

What a low level of creature you are.

Birds of the same feather flock together.

Sir Li's Despedida Party (July 23, 2011, Greenwich, Rob Manila)

Being home for 2 days and not being able to go outside isn't really good for me. Can't do anything. Tried to read and do some school stuff but it makes me more sleepy.

New Layout

2011-06-23T22:58:00.003+08:00

After days of editing my layout, I resorted to this one. Simple. Minimalist. I think I like it this way.

Can't let go of sweet anxiety.

I was planning to change my url to "superjoanne.blogspot.com". However, it already exists and that really broke my heart. The author has not posted anything for 5 years already. :((

By the way, I MISS MY PE-PHILGAMES classmates! Plus Ma'am D. :>

Here's to the months I've missed!

2011-06-22T20:33:00.005+08:00

I AM SUDDENLY POSTING BECAUSE SOMEONE TOLD ME I STILL HAVE READERS EVEN THOUGH I WASN;T UPDATING FOR THE PAST MONTHS.

Here's the news:

1. I was on tumblr. I left this blog before because someone was harassing me online.

2. I was not able to finish the new layout I started making for this blog.

3. I promise to finish it as soon as I have time.

4. I will update this blog again. YEYY It's alive! I thought I'll leave this forever.

5. Fourth year na ako. OMG. I feel so old. But I am excited for thesis stuff.

I might be leaving this blog.

I am still thinking whether to post the new URL here.

I promise to keep posting substantial entries again.

Happy New Year, everyone! :)

new morning

Kami na ang may pare-parehong profile pic!
Nakakatuwa lang tingnan.

At siyempre, unang stat. Dati nag-aapprove lang siya ng friends. :))

Formspring answers of my friends:

Question 1: Paano mo masasabing in-love ka na?

"I dont know. Really." -Kam

"When I can't breathe, sleep, and stop thinking about him." -Veronica

"Di na makatulog. Di na makakain." -Paosee

"Kapag hindi ka mapakali kakaisip sa isang tao kahit hindi naman dapat magisip." -Jerome

"Siguro kapag sobrang concerned ka na sa kanya, tapos sa tingin ng ibang tao parang nababaliw ka na." -Neil

"pag hinahanap-hanap mo siya parati.. :)" -Aidyl

"Kapag paggising mo sa umaga siya nasa isip mo hanggang pagpikit mo sa gabi." -Lalay

"If I kiss him for the first time, the world stops spinning and my heart actually skips a beat... :)
Dejoke. Uhm, when I care about him more than I should. A consuming care for him ..." -Bianca

"pag one time, may nagawa kang bagay na bigla ka na lang mapapangiti bakit ginawa mo yun para sa kanya. o kaya mabanggit lang pangalan niya, mapapangiti ka na. makita mo lang siya, okay na araw mo. di mo alam irereact mo pag andyan siya. basta masaya ka. parang feel mo kumpleto ka pag andun ung taong yun." -Ron

"><" -Rex "Hmm. Kpag gusto mo na sya lage kasama. Haha. <3" -Tina "idk. i think i have never been in love." -Melvin "As in love talaga? Ewan ko. Pag siguro nagsstart na ako mag-alala sa kanya. Tipong gusto ko talaga tulungan xa sa lahat ng bagay. Hehe. Pag crush, syempre pag kinikilig ako at the smallest details." -Precy "2 bagay: kpag naiinis na ako sa isang araw na d ako pinansin ng taong yun, tsaka secret..hayaan n ln ntin ung taong kina-iinlove-an ko makaalam nun (:" -Kevin

Question 2: Do you ever wonder if in life, it is possible that we become used to separating? That in the event that we love someone, we become unafraid of losing them?

"NO." -Kam

"yes. most especially now" -Veronica

"yes. but maybe you love that person so much that you are ready to accept the fact that you can never be together." -Kevin

"Yes. I totally understand this situation." -Paosee

"it is possible :D" -Eron

"OHMY. The best question I've ever gotten! My answer is, yes. We're humans. At some point in our life we will get tired of thinking of him, doing things for him, and loving him. For many reasons (which I won't ellaborate), we will reach a point where we'll become numb of our feelings towards someone and eventually lead to being unafraid of losing them. But I'd like to speak for myself, and say that based on my experience, we can only try our best to say that we'll always be there for someone. But in reality, times will come that we'd have to say our good byes and part ways. And if you really give it some thought, you'll be unafraid of not being with them." -Jerome

"i think if the person always leaves u then u become accustomed to them leaving u that the pain of the separation dulls with time and repetition.. :(" -Aidyl

"Nope. We will always be afraid of being separated with someone once we start to love them. IMHO." -Lalay

"That's not love eh. In the context of love, it's impossible to get used to "separating" ... If you're not afraid to lose them then they did not really have a meaning in your life, walang impact. Madaling talikuran. And love is ... too huge to just ignore. :D" -Bianca

"ayoko ng ganun. basta ako, takot ako mawala ka sa kin. naks :D" -Ron

"><" -Rex "Yes possible. . . Mmm." -Tina "Nope. Feel ko forever na magiging afraid e." -Precy The answers are really interesting. :) -- So happy right now. :)

more love

Things that make me more happy this Christmas:

Extra:

happy birthday

januzs at kiko. :)

So here's what happened yesterday:

Block Christmas Party. We started the party by singing Anima Cristi. Everyone was singing, and it's such a great feeling to hear everyone's voices in chorus.

Then we played games, shot some scenes for the movie and shared some secrets. :>

Precious, Jolly, Me, Lorvin and Danjo played Fling-Marry-Kill (We had to change Fuck to Fling because some classmates were conservative) last night among ourselves while others were playing Frisbee. :">

Things that made me sad:

1. He left the chocolates I gave him because they had nuts. I wish I gave them to someone else.

Things that made me happy:

1. The gifts I got! Thanks to Elaine, Cia-cia and Nikos!

2. I was glad because we are done shooting our movie for the DPSM week.

3. Danjo and Lorvin. :> (They aren't things though)

4. Sir Li and Sir Kevin attended the party even if it was already late.

5. Everyone did their part, in the party and movie.

6. I was able to know some things

7. I was also able to say the things I wanted to.

8. Precious got a precious gift from a precious friend. :">

9. Party continuation today. Haha.

So right now, I just finished cleaning my room because Lorvin, Danjo and Ron would come over. Party all day, movie marathon, bonding. Oh, the things I love.

I'll be home tomorrow. Hello, vacation! :)

I'll be posting pictures here soon.

B: Ang loser ko ba kung sasabihin kong hanggang ngayon ikaw pa rin? O baka confused lang ako.

M: Hindi mo na siguro naaalala. Hindi na rin siguro sumasagi yun sa isip mo, na minsan, nagkaroon tayo ng isang bagay na sa ating dalawa lang.

B: Na dati, hinahatid mo pa ako sa bahay namin at sinusundo sa eskwela. Madalas mo pa ngang paglaruan yung buhok ko habang sinasabayan mo yung To Love Somebody. Hinihintay mo pa akong makatulog, tapos sa umaga ikaw rin ang gumigising sa akin. At pagkatapos ng lab namin, sasabihan mo ako na "Ang ganda mo talaga" kahit alam kong haggard na ako.

M: Hindi ko pa rin matanggap. Dahil sa dinami-dami ng reasons na pwede mong ibigay, yung hindi pa kaatim-atim. Yung napakaliit na bagay pa. Yung hindi pa kapani-paniwala. Tapos hindi pa sa iyo nanggaling. Sa iba ko pa nalaman.

B: Ngayong oras na ito, umiiyak ako. Binabasa ko kasi yung sulat na ibibigay ko dapat sayo.

M: Ngayong oras ding ito, hindi ko malaman kung totoo bang ikaw pa rin o nalilito o inaantok na lang ako. O baka dahil nalaman kong concerned ka sa akin at palagi mo akong hinahanap kay ___. O baka naman assuming lang ako na pwede pa.

B: O baka kumakapit pa rin ako sa natitirang sana.

M: Sana hindi na lang kita nakilala.

After more than 2 years.

B: Hello.

M: Hi. Ang ganda mo pala.

sad eyes

2010-12-10T04:04:00.003+08:00

All of this, all the time

takes it's toll

with no rhythm, and no rhyme

it makes us old

But look at you

you're so alive,

and yet you keep it inside

why won't you let

the world see,

behind your sad eyes

and i'm just glad of an excuse

to stare at you

people say its a life lost

but it's my life to lose

I am loving vintage. Ye olde stuff are hot. :>

Currently busy making designs.

2010-11-07T08:50:00.004+08:00

Eaten Buco with Nata Froyo. One of my favs from Nestle.

Today, I shall clean my room. As in. Closets included. I mean, it's a new semester, and I am hoping for a new 'life' and maybe I could start by throwing all the mess of the past semester. That sem was good enough. Hello again good grades. :> That is why I do not regret anything. Everything I did paid off!

Also, I shall arrange my notes and gather those which are in 'circulation'. I remember my Chem31, Chem 27 and Math74 are circulating among my fellow biochem majors. If everyone

paid for my notes, I would have been richer. :)) I do not actually jot down notes. It's very rare. But I am very organized, that's why.

Anyway, I am on a tipid spree. I mean, I am forcing myself to stop buying things which I do not really need. UGH. That. Is. Just. So. Hard. Especially the shopping part!

However, I am glad that The Lamb Shop (my online store) is doing good! Yeyy! Thanks to those who bought items from me.

Until now, I haven't finished the new layout I was making for this blog. There is really no problem with this current layout, but I'm kinda tired of the look. Maybe it needs a new face.

Also, I am planning to make a new blog. I won't leave this, I'll just want to make a new blog for my doodles, drawings, photographs, haikus, and other artsy stuff I make. Just to be organized. They always get jumbled with my posts here. :>

Yesterday, I attended AME Track 10, UP Anime-Manga Enthusiasts' 10th Anniversary celebration in SMX, MOA with Ron, Precy and Justine.

It was my first time (I think) to attend this kind of concert. But it was fun! Maybe because

there were booths, cosplayers and cool stuff! And maybe because it was Japanese stuff. *bias*

Disappointing is the cosplayer of Kakashi. He just...ASDFGHJKL;..the image of sensei. Imagine a Kakashi that isn't tall, isn't handsome topped with a badly dyed gray-black hair.

I bought these cute keychains too!

Strawberry. Lili from Tekken.

Kakashi and Sakura. :">

Okay. I don't like strawberries. I just had that one free because I bought 10 pieces. Each one costs Php50 each from The Keybie Chain.

I shall get higher grades this sem. :>

I know. :)

3. Come up with a design for DPSM week. Lagot ako kasy Sir Doms. >.<> Or Maybe Scarlet.
6. Play Dota with lil bro.
7. Make portfolio.
8. Do something with my hair.
9. Probably come up with a better layout for thios blog.
10. Do my bucket list.
11. Something I want to conceal for now. 2011 stuff. :>

I am happy my grades are getting better. At least everything paid off. :)
