so, i thought i'd be more successful in blogging with this blogspot app for my iphone. y'know, blogging on the go.... yeah, still doesn't work. but hello lovely people who still check up on me from time to time! i haven't been on.... yeah. i haven't blogged in a while. but don't blame me, blame my lack of sleep, lack of fun, and all the stress that comes along. sleepless nights, bummy days and school stress are basically my life in a nutshell. but on thursday, i had a performance at multicultural night at my school, in which, my rude and ill humored friend, alex, came to harass me.. oh and of course watch my performance.. it's funny, considering that singing songs by foster the people and drake aren't very multicultural at all.. yesterday, i got to celebrate three shitty.. KIDDING! I got to celebrate three lovely and warm months with my boyfriend, michael. we spent the afternoon cuddling on the couch, and in the evening, watched the abomination which is "jack and jill." meh.. it was a pretty stupid movie, but at some parts, were hilarious. afterwards, he took me out for some delicious japanese food. gotta love him.

ironically enough, i'm working on a stress paper.

I'M STRESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSED AS FUCK. I THINK I NEED A VACATION WITH MY BOYFRIEND.

that shit cray.

2011-10-24T19:02:00.002-04:00

heya folks,
it's mind boggling how many people still check this blog out, considering that i post something new almost once every month. depressing, but thanks (:
of course, i'm school is still very stressful, especially math... i'm failing.
goddamn. other than school, everything is wonderful and beautiful.
i recently bought an iphone. so.... FUCK BLACKBERRIES. kidding! .. sorta.
i guess i just miss bbm.

i spent this miserable monday at home, because:
a) i can't stand school.
b) i didn't get much sleep last night.
and c) i actually hate school with a fiery passion.

if life was good and easy, i wouldn't have to go to school to become a teacher.
if life was good and easy, all i'd need to take courses on are how to teach students.

did that make sense?
i don't think so either.

it's been awhile.

2011-10-15T20:21:00.003-04:00

sorry. school's stressful. work's stressful.
sdfghajkdslfsjrq blargh.
i'm supposed to be doing english homework... fuck.
as i type this, i'm sipping on my favourite starbucks drink, salted caramel hot chocolate, over-analyzing many things, and watching this odd pixar short film i came across on tumblr, which can be seen here.
anywho, i bought an iphone. apparently, i must wait 5 hours for the ios5 to update my phone. ridiculous. if it doesnt finish by the time michael comes home, i will unplug it, and facetime my ass off.

speaking of michael, all we ever seem to do is talk and eat, and watch movies, and laugh about silly things. all we ever seem to do is love, really.

i've been busy.

2011-10-01T19:49:00.002-04:00

he's very time consuming..

2011-09-20T18:14:00.002-04:00

i appologize for the lack of posts.
in between school, work, and making time for my lovely friends + boyfriend, all in between, i haven't had enough time for you. the people who (surprisingly) still check my blog out. KUDOS TO YOU, YOU'RE ALL BEAUTIFUL.

no recent updates, or pictures, for my baby (my dslr) is missing in action.
oh, but if it matters to anyone, i'm going shopping today.
i'm performing a two door cinema/bombay bicycle medley.

okay, i have to go. bye (:

miss you so.

2011-09-05T21:02:00.002-04:00

this summer has been the best summer yet.
i'd love to go into greater detail, but i wouldn't want to bore you.

school starts on wednesday, and i'm the least prepared. well, i'm somewhat prepared, since michael bought me binders.

tomorrow, i plan to reminisce and recap my whole summer vacation over some melona bars with erika, and possibly cry, due to the fact that the best summer would then be, officially over.

i'll try to keep in touch.

xo.

don't you fall in love.

2011-08-25T22:58:00.005-04:00

as i conjure up the words to describe my whole day, all i can think about is how tired i am.. oh, and of course my boyfriend, michael. so cliche, i know. and i apologize, but i had the pleasure of spending it with him. thank goodness for the amazing weather, and his miraculous journey to the village in which i reside in. other than cuddling on a couch, watching 500 days of summer, or making two back to back trips to starbucks, we took my little brother to a park, where michael met my lovely, lovely friends. and it seems that his tagalog skills have impressed my parents.

here are some pictures. bear with michael, he's not that good at taking pictures.

oh, and thanks ali.

i seriously dont know how to smile anymore...

2011-08-22T15:34:00.000-04:00

my teeth are in pain.

2011-08-18T22:22:00.000-04:00

it's brutal.
the lack of posts are also brutal.
):

i now look like ugly betty.

2011-08-15T20:40:00.000-04:00

if not worse.

but fuck that. i like my braces.
.....k, they're alright. i just can't wait to get them off.
that is all.

we made the team.

2011-08-13T20:25:00.001-04:00

hello folks! i haven't done much since the last time i posted anything.
... which is terrible. i sort of promised myself i would blog every other day or so,
but clearly that hasn't worked.
i've been working lately, which involves dealing with conveyor belts, wearing a uniform shirt 10 sizes too big to be considered an extra small, and being away from my bed. plus, being a cashier is stressful.
a) i can't do math without a calculator.
b) at times customers can be rude.
c) i barely know what i am doing with everything.
i'm deathly afraid that i have forgotten everything, and that when i get back to work on tuesday, i'll fuck up. on the other hand, my friend daniel thinks i'm a great chasier, and some of the other employees think i'm cute. probably due to my small nature, and brief awkwardness. awkward.
anyways, i'm only working 9 hours next week, so i plan to spend the rest of my days off with my friends, and possibly, hopefully, michael. my parents think we're dating already, so now they want to meet him already. weird or... weird?

*i'm rocking that metro uniform like i'm from the 80's.

making waves.

2011-08-07T14:17:00.001-04:00

yesterday was ultimately ridiculous.
i mean, perfect, in the most fucked up way.
not only did i find out that my friend, mark, whom i decided to go to making waves
with was somewhat of a relative, but, while we were walking down queen street,
we noticed a group of asians. we're like, "fuck it, they're only here for making waves," until i noticed a a beautiful boy with a headband on. i immediately yelled his name, and eventually said, "ryan bandong, you're ridiculously good looking."

oh, thrift store shopping with mark, and my brother josh, was also pretty delightful.

did i mention me and jeff bernat kept waving at eachother?
waving gets everyone's attention.
anyways, i was extremely fortunate to be stuck at the very front of the stage. i got over 220 amazing shots of the performers. whell, at least, while it wasn't pouring.

the amount of photos i took is absolutely unbelievable.

2011-08-01T21:33:00.001-04:00

this weekend has been extremely exhausting.
not only did i volunteer at filipino fest in the heart of mississauga through scorching heat, i found myself screaming like a little girl for jericho rosales, a filipino actor/singer i've never even heard of. it resulted in me, knocking on his passenger seat window.... i also (somewhat) stalked d-pryde. funny, i'm not a huge fan of his music. although, i do love him, his personality, and his face. so, it balances itself out. i also met tons of new people. *fist pump* i really do love making new friends.
after spending a totally radical day with a few of my favourite people, i went home. and died. no. i didn't. but man, i crashed faster than a drunk driver.
the next morning, along with my best friend and my family, i slept through a car ride to niagra! .. i lied. i never slept. i ended up texting my new friend michael, through the whole ride. come to think of it, i was texting him the whole trip.
anyways, after hours of eating and walking around and swimming.. and eating again, and walking around, i finally found comfort in a sofa bed and slept like a baby. i admit, i had tons of fun adventuring around. but, i've never missed my bed, or my house, so much in my life.

*i really didn't take any decent pictures in niagra. so enjoy these.

T.G.I.F

hiya folks! after a lovely and long awaited trip to the beach with a few of my favourite people, i. am. tired. did i mention that i have to wake up at 8 tomorrow? not like it would be hard anyways, since, for some odd reason, i always end up waking up around then. it's just something that i can't control! and it really sucks since i do love wasting half the day away sleeping rather than doing nothing around the house. anyways, beachy hair, great food, best friends and a sand covered ass, (actually, now that i think about it, my whole body was covered in sand) put me in a very good mood.

i have pictures folks!
but, on to a more boring part of my post; the reason i have to wake up early is because
i'm volunteering at filipino fest. yes. a festival. for people like me. i'm excited. hopefully i get free food, oh, and not too much work, considering the coordinator hasn't assigned me and my friends anything.

now here are some photos. note that they're really awkward. i didn't take them! (:

i can't sleep.

2011-07-27T01:36:00.001-04:00

being the massive insomniac i am, i decided to get up and eat.
at one in the morning. kekekeke. i'm so fat. not really.
a lot of things have got me thinking. despite few recent differences with my best friend, (if you're reading this, i love you.) in a way, i believe it made me a stronger person. i became more independant, and relationships with other friends grew... but geez, could i really live without my best friend? the answer is, yes. i could. but life wouldn't be as interesting or as fun without her. we've been best friends since grade four, for god sakes! she's practically family. she's totally important. i dont know what i'd do.

LUV U GRRL.

these are so old... and
so the last one is ugly. but hey, WHATEVER.

swag me the fuck ouuuuuuuut.

2011-07-26T23:31:00.001-04:00

OH YEAH, I'M GETTING BRACES.
usually, a typical teenager (unlike myself) would consider this torture, but
i happen to be happy as fuck. all the pain and ridicule all will be worth it in the end. ...i just need to book my appointment. i need to get these train tracks on. fast.
the sooner i get them on, the sooner i get them off.

now on to the boring part of my post, i enjoyed a lovely day out with my faggot, erika. we indulged in somewhat great sushi, and laughed our asses off while watching horrible bosses. did i mention that it's an absolutely hilarious movie? and that you all should watch it? well..

enjoy these, taken by moi.

shuffle.

2011-07-25T20:29:00.000-04:00

burlington beach was alright, considering that i had no friends along with me for the trip. according to my mom, it was "strictly family," which i don't mind too much. i just get bored easy. i made use of my five hours and ventured the beach, or should i say, filthy, polluted lake with sand, avec my camera and blackberry in quick reach.
despite my best efforts to take awesome pictures today, i didn't. all the pictures taken- well, MOST, are taken by my brother, Josh.
my legs are terribly sore from walking through waves for about, four hours straight,
so i'll just leave these here.
p.s. the quality of the uploads is super disappointing.

heaven's on fire.

2011-07-22T23:07:00.000-04:00

all of this looks mighty delightful.. especially hodgy.

bonjour!

2011-07-22T22:19:00.001-04:00

i've made a new blogspot.
for some reason i find it easier to express my thoughts and feelings and all that other shit here rather than tumblr. why? i'm not sure, really. i think it's because i highly doubt people will pay more attention to this blog than my normal tumblr. another plus side to this blog is that it is anything but morbid. which surprises me in many ways, considering that i am a pretty morbid individual. so hiya.

on to a more substance lacking post, i'm off to the beach tomorrow.
the end of july is near, and i must say, summer has treated me fairly well so far..
well, i can do without odd tan lines and lazy bummer summer days spent here.
i have a list of things to accomplish over the summer, and i must say, i'm pretty impressed with what i've gotten done thus far.

>see one of my favourite bands live.
>get my g1.
~~>get a job.~~
~~>toronto adventures with various friends.~~
>go to the beach with various friends.
~~>make tons new friends.~~
>go to wonderland. a lot.
~~>milton adventures with various friends.~~
>grow out my hair. very long.
~~>volunteer places.~~
>i need a whole new wardrobe.
~~>give away shit loads of old clothes.~~
~~>upgrade to a bb. (sorry, ma. i love you.)~~

that's all i thought of this year. sad, but true.
did i mention that i'm employed? CASHFLOW BITCHES!
...but seriously, i'm pretty happy. and i'll be pretty busy..
so may the lack of posting begin! hopefully i won't lag THAT bad.

whoever actually read this, i love you. yes, you.
