The Damsel's Destressing

Moved my latest 5 blog posts on wordpress. I'm still keeping this one though. So many memories here.

THE DAMSEL'S DESTRESSING

2 of 366 | First Saturday of the Year

How was your New Year? Mine was okay. Spent it with my family, but I'm thinking of spending it with other people next year. I have 363 days to think about that though haha

taken around 8AM

Yesterday was technically my first working day of the year. On my way to work (only 5mins away from my house btw), I noticed it was pretty cloudy, looked like it was about to rain. Great way to start the day! haha To be honest, living in a tropical country made me love gloomy weathers. It's just that MOST of the time, it's so sunny and hot. It sucks when you go out fresh, and arrive at your destination sweating. Yesterday was different though :) It was gloomy all day long.

taken around 5:30PM

I had a very good day at work yesterday. I was worried during the holidays though because I got a lot of reports that needed to be done. I was able to get everything done by the end of the day! HURRAY! :D

Not only did I have a good day at work, but a good day in general :) Met up with my college buddies and decided to have a drinking session to celebrate the new year. It's better late than never *winks* Before we went to the bar though, we stopped by some balot vendor. I can't even remember the last time I ate one! I didn't like feeling the beak and the bones of the duckling *bleh*, however, I wanted to try it once again after how many years. Made me dream about the ducklings afterwards though ~_~

And the rest is history! haha Was so tired to go home after hanging out with them that me, Lab2, and Hancel decided to check-in at a hotel nearby. First time experience for me. I had tons of fun! :D

Thank You 2015!

Well then, let me start with "HELLO BLOGOSPHERE!".

It has indeed been a very long time. My last post was in 2012. I've been wanting to get back to blogging, however, it was a bit difficult to squeeze in -- laptop's broken and didn't have the time. But hey, I'M BACK ! I revamped my blog, and to tell you honestly, the struggle was real! All those html/css codes.. man!

Anyway, it's December 31st, and my return post is all about 2015. Yeah, yeah, a lot of people are doing the "Year Ender" posts, I'm no exception. *winks*

My 2015 in one word -- FANTASTIC! Well, it was truly a roller coaster ride for me this year. During the 1st quarter, it was emotionally difficult.  I was sad, depressed, felt out of place, felt like I had no purpose, no goals, nothing. I was so down. It was unbearable. Until 2nd quarter came, where everything changed <3 My college buds and I finally reconnected, and after a few days, I was told that my transfer was approved! I will be forever grateful to those people who helped me get where I am today. Thank You!

I have been constantly asking myself before where did I go wrong, but then I kept remembering this quote:

Everything happens for a reason.

Everything worked out in the end. I was able to meet a lot of new people, went to different places, went back to food tripping (and now, everytime I cross paths with someone I knew from the past, they would always comment on my weight! :D), and learned a lot of things! Around 4th quarter, I was even able to get a part time job as an online teacher. It was pretty cool, but tough.

As for my relationship, I couldn't ask more. Thank you to my ever supportive boyfriend of 2 years, 1 month and 14 days, for being such a good friend and lover, for listening to all my complains, for keeping up with my ka artehan, for loving me and only me. Cheers for more adventures and more years to come to us! :)

So yeah, 2015 has been FANTASTIC. A true roller coaster ride.

I actually have one New Year's resolution:

Think positive, and positive things will happen.

Thank You 2015!

College : 2nd Sem, 2nd Week

So far, I've been a mess :( ugh .. I never thought that schools and lectures would be done so fast . Our professors started to give out quizzes, assignments, reports, and other stuff since last week (and we just came back from a long vacation). I'm exhausted :( Maybe I've just been to relaxed and chill that I got used to it, and now, pressure's everywhere lol I gotta start getting my mind straight >.< And yes, I have another quiz tomorrow HAH!

We have a loooooot of books this semester :| Good thing my good senior friends lent me theirs for the semester :) Thank You Adam, Kikoi and Erika <3

3 out of 7 books . gotta buy the others

As for school events, orientations, activities and seminars, it used to be everyday (but depends on what day they want it to be held) at 4-5:30pm, but now they changed it to wednesdays 1-5PM. At first, I liked it cause at least we don't have to ask anymore what day activities will be held, and also we won't be wearing our uniform...... but today, I take it back . It's tiring . Tiring because we have to wait (if there are a lot of organizations that are holding activities on that day) for HOURS just to attend the activity. My house is pretty far from school, and I can't just go home anytime I want and go back to school without being late. Kinda annoying. There were only 10 students from our section who attended the orientation today unlike before.

Saturday: Wreck-it Ralph and New IN

Well hello dear saturday ! :) First saturday since 2nd semester started. Time to relax for a bit after all those craziness school offered when we got back lol

Anyway, so, we went to the mall to see Wreck-It Ralph. I'm sorry, but I've never heard of the game before, but my boyfriend wanted to see it, so yeah, we ended up watching it.

Vanellope, the girl on the photo who looks like Agnes of Despicable Me, is sooo adorable <3 I don't really have much to say about the movie. It was okay. According to the reviews on IMDB and GetGlue, the movie's good :)

Oh and btw, Ralph kinda looks like Stefan Salvatore of The Vampire Diaries :3

Today, I finally got to use the Gift Card I won last summer from Pickled&Pepper through Cheyser's (thewalkingrecessionista) blog. I'm such a picky person when it comes to buying stuff that's why it took several months for me to finally use it :) Been looking for the "IT" factor, and this one just caught my attention.
