towards my aspirations

I can't help it. I really want to achieve something in life, so I try to push myself.

I've decided to get a double degree. Aside from getting my degree in Management of Applied Chemistry, I want to try my luck at European Studies. Albeit an AB course, I still think it's a big challenge because I have to juggle tons of units, aside from my already packed schedule. It's a good thing that I was able to get a DL-worthy grade (praise the Lord!) last semester, so now I can overload my units and advance some of my subjects. But, well, I hope I can accomplish everything before the deadline, or else I have to be a super senior (fifth year)!

to a new me

I have long admitted to myself that I am obese, and recently I haven't been that proud of my body. I admit - I want to wear clothes that fit right and still look good (you know, without the unnecessary bulges). That is why, I've selected power boxing as my last PE class. Also, I've been going to the gym to shed at least a few pounds before the second semester starts.

I do pray for self-control, though, because without it everything is just for naught. I (try to) bid goodbye to desserts in all their sugary goodness. I hope that the effort I put here reflects on me soon! 

I was hoping, but not really

  There are many reasons why I really thought I'd make it this semester. Mainly, it's because I was doing well in most of my subject, as evidenced by an abundance of graded test papers and reports. However, now that goal seem so far away.

I never imagined I'd so soon disappoint myself when I've just had my self-esteem boosted. I thought I could do well on this one exam, but my performance was so awful I might as well expect a C or C+. Goodbye, wonderful, wonderful Dean's List.

I guess I could have predicted this; I mean there were many moments before when I sabotaged myself. Whether it be out of fear, laziness, or just plain stupidity, it makes me sad to think that I couldn't achieve or succeed without me getting in my own way.

But, well.
Ce'st la vie.

reflection of a thousand words

To my friend, Rachi, I hope you enjoy the exposure we are giving you! I especially edited mine to reflect your personality, you pretty girl you. <3

Right now, my friends and I are using the picture of one of our own as our profile picture in facebook. It's a kind of prank, but with that person agreeing to the challenge. Until 12 am on Sunday, the one with the most number of likes win the challenge! I'm not sure about the prize, though, but this is so embarrassing that it's hilarious!

I hope I win, fingers crossed!

excited for the semestral break

Just a little bit more and I'll be able to take a really long break.

We're about to enter our finals week, and although I feel scared about what could happen to my grades, I am overwhelmed by this need to plan out my sem break. I want to do a lot of things, though I kind of think I won't be able to do anything productive, really; my soon-to-be-short-lived vacation will be reduced to playing games and reading manga.

HOWEVER, I must remember my ultimate goal: exercise! I want to get thinner, and I plan to fulfill that during my sem break. I hope all goes well, and that temptation stays the hell away from me! :)
