rose-colored SPEKTAKELS

Now, of all times, I myself find it weird that I decided to create a new Tumblr -especially since I´ve had this one for three years (If I´m not mistaken… and it has all my pictures in Spain ¡Por díos!). However, I feel like I´ve grown so comfortable, so familiar, so content with the status quo that I believe change is in order. I´m starting with my Tumblr page. I want to write more (more not necessarily in terms of length but in depth and insight). I want to put up pictures and write about them one by one even just a short note or just an explanation why it´s there - what happened that day, what sort of humiliation I unwittingly had put myself under, who did I speak Spanish with wrong grammar to. I also want it to be my virtual reminder to be more pro-active. I want to write things I´m gonna do, swear on them, and actually finish them. I´ve known myself to be a person who rarely pays attention to the small details due largely to the fact that I have a short attention span and I get lazy easily. But I think, in order to appreciate the bigger picture, I musn´t forget about the little moments that make it all worthwhile. And so I´m gona give it another try. 

Every now and then, try to see how I´m holding up to it. Right now, it´s still bare but you can drop me an encouraging line if you want to! CLICK!  :) 

CHEERS AND BESOS! 

P.S. It´s kind of weird I´m doing this almost in the middle of the year. I´d like to think it has something to do with it being Easter Sunday tomorrow. 

After all we´ve shared (mainly pictures of half-naked football players, Robert Downey Jr., and pictures of food), I´d like to ask for your help! Right now, we have a project for a subject called Leadership and Strategy. That project is to create a Facebook fanpage of our group dressed in costumes of famous celebrities, cartoon characters, animé characters, etc. and soliciting as many LIKES as we can. I only ask for a little bit of your time to like our page (and maybe you can add me up as well!!!!!!). Thank you in advance and have a nice day/good night! :) Here´s a sample pic of me dressed as Dora. HAHHAHAA. 

OUR COSPLAY GALLERY 

ADD ME UP TUMBLR FRIENDS!!! It would truly be my pleasure!!! 

I’m already highlighting my ass off. I know I know I might have posted several things regarding a certain shifting of degrees, but, long story short, it’s not going to happen anymore - due to several reasons. One of which, Emmanuel Lévinas, right at this very moment, is trying to explain to me through his work “On Escape”. 

But, cutting to the chase, several things have come to my attention ever since I landed in my home country and these I shall present in bullet points as an impartial list of sorts (I doubt I can still remember): 

• I’ve gained right about 15 lbs while I was away. MOTHERFUUUU- Several people can attest to this.
• I don’t get how other people can wear cardigans and jackets in the kind of climate we have in Manila. People, it’s friggin’ 30 degrees Celsius. 
• My old cabinet smells like a grandmother’s cabinet. 
• I might have left my favorite sandals which I bought from Lefties in my piso in Spain. For this, I think I’ll have to ask them to bring it over through LBC. I hope it’s there though. Or better yet, it’s just here somewhere in my suitcase. 
• Did I mention I gained weight? 
• BUT ON TO THE GOOD NEWS: I’m getting a new laptop!!! But I’ll be paying for it with my own money. BOO!!! At least I’m getting my aunt to sponsor original internet-security and Microsoft Office software. 
• All these being said, I’d just like to say school is being such a pain the in the ass, specifically Leadership and Strategy 100 and Operations Research. The second one is inherently hard and has always been. This, I can live with. But the latter is such a hassle because our professor makes us do these group tasks and after which, chooses a team and grills them in front of a one-man panel and the rest of the class. Even more, one member of the losing team will get an F and this member is generally decided upon after a session of a Big-Brother/Jerry Spinger-esque confrontation in the classroom. It’s fun to watch, I must say. But still, a hassle. 
• All my classmates have already started applying for internships and I haven’t. I should probably get to that now. Or after I finish reading Lévinas with whom I can totally relate right now in light of my recent almost-shifting-out-of-my-degree-and-then-deciding-to-come-back-the-night-I-arrived-in-Manila fiasco. But more on this some other time. 

• I realized I haven’t packed yet. 
• I have no money for the extra baggage I’ll be sending through air freight. 
• I have a test (for which I haven’t studied yet) 
• and furthermore, I’m meeting different sets of friends all throughout the day and night 
• two of these are supposed to happen simultaneously 
• and here I am, just dancing to Mariah Carey and Soraya (a former contestant of Spain’s Operation Triunfo - a singing competition kinda like American Idol)

Now, all  I have to do is repost this everyday and I should be okay. 

It has  already become quite a necessity for me to actually reblog this. 

These past few days, I’ve been so caught up with my needs immaturity that it has actually become quite distractive and hassling. 

I’m pretty sure you can probably agree too, with the amount of needs-related posts that I’ve put up on Tumblr. I apologize (to you and to myself). Will (try to) keep them down as much as possible. 

And leaving it at that, I hope you guys have a good morning! Or afternoon! Or.. you know what, HAVE A GOOD WEEK. It’s on me. :)

Don’t worry, dad. I don’t think anything’s gonna happen between us anymore. I’ve got six days left here and I’m gone anyway… 

… but then again, according to Paulo Coelho, it only takes eleven minutes. 

(Insert knowing smile and cocked eyebrow here.) 

On the day of my departure, weather forecasts are predicting snow in Madrid. And it rarely snows in Madrid (like, almost NEVER). Rain would have been a better symbolism but I can take snow. Snow is good. 

And cue: “… Don’t cry for me Argentina España, the truth is I never left you… All through my wild days… My mad existence… I kept my promise… Don’t keep your distance…”
