Unpacking

Tuesday, May 29, 2012

I feel bad for updating my blog back to something as random as this. But I have some posts that are in the drafts for a while so I don’t want them to be wasted. I do wish I could post some meaningful entries like the last post. Maybe I’m really just passionate about those kinds of topics, so maybe I should post more often about something in the lines of that? I dunno, what do you guys think?

Anyway, these are some things I acquired from this summer. Ah summer, it’s only been a week from school and I miss it already. I miss waking up knowing that there is nothing to do and no one to please.

Cath Kidson travel bag…for week long travels.

I’m loving the colors of this Aquazorb towel I got from my aunt! ♥

Can never get enough of decorative tapes.

Collar necklace that my relatives are teasing me about, I still love it very much.

Cheap frames so that I could change it’s lenses and use it as my glasses. These frames always get people’s attention whenever I commute. (*´∀`*)

I love these allover sprays from Etude House, I plan to get the pink one as well.

Happiness and Stillness by Sharon Cole, I do want to get the Kindness and Gratitude as well but these books are only available in a specific bookstore.

Recently, I’ve been feeling as if my head is heavy, like all that I’m experiencing is just a dream. It’s been getting hard to focus on work because of this, I do hope it goes away soon. (；△；)

Thank you so much! Don’t say that! I just read a fic of yours and I say you’re also a talented person!

I do hope one day I could perfectly draw them so that I could draw pretty scenes that I would like to happen to them. /fangirldreams

Artwise: Yes, it’s Dan and Blair. Yes, it doesn’t look like them. Yes, I know I failed. I’ve been very disappointed with my artworks lately, as if despite doing my best it’s not yet good enough. It was never this way before (circa HS), sure I know it is not the best but I was still very happy about my works. Like the effort was worth it. There was passion in my work and I was happy doing what I do.

Pairing-wise: I was once a Chair fan during the earlier seasons, as a romantic in high school I loved the idea of tragic love, epic love, that without him/her you will die, that you are nothing without the other. I think that idea was in my head up until last year, when I had a relationship with a guy that ended badly. I loved him…too much actually that I stooped so low and did everything just to be with him. We were like a pendulum, I love you, I hate you, do you really love me?…and I lost myself in the process. Oddly, it was like Chuck and Blair with their on-again off-again status and their painful passion. I realized there was something wrong, that I had to start over again. That was where I noticed Blair with Dan on a season 4 episode, since then I slowly became to like them. Dair has inspired me, showed me that “love does not dominate, but cultivates.” -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Before you correct me, yes. I already watched the season finale. Honestly, it was okay. As okay as Gossip Girl can be with all the scandal, cheating and ridiculousness that is. I’m pretty sad that the Dair fandom is becoming a Dan vs. Blair because of this episode. They’re both at fault. I understand Blair for going back to Chuck (after screaming “NOOOO” for the whole time they were talking), she may think that no one could ever love her. I think if I was with this person who I’ve loved so much I would obviously go back to him despite the horrible things he has done to me (I did that once actually). Blair is scared to choose something different to what she was accustomed to. It’s not mostly about abuse, it was more about the negative impact this has done to Blair. 

People who hate Dan are saying that he is a bastard for cheating Blair. But the thing is that’s what people do in the Gossip Girl world. Look at Chuck in season 5 episode 15, when he saw a picture of Dan and Blair kissing he immediately schemed and slept with Dan’s agent just to get back at him. Dan did this because of sadness and even got angry and guilty at the end. I think what he did meant that he was finally part of the Upper East Side (remember those who questioned why Dan was drank more than usual?).

His self-isolation the fact that he went to becoming an outsider again just meant that (maybe) he is trying to find himself again (remember Rufus’ advice to him?). Unfortunately, instead of doing this in a calm demeanor he had let his negative feelings take control of him. But who doesn’t get hurt or angry when the heart is broken?

Bottom line is, I think there is still a chance for them to be together. For me this is proof that Dan and Blair need to mend their wounds and grow on their own first before reconciliation. I still believe in them, I still believe that the love that they had…have is real.

I love their dynamic, the fact that they are the best of friends before becoming lovers. I just love how strong they are together and help each other along the way. How honest Blair is with Dan. How much he supports her in every endeavor. They are equals, they are a team. 

Whew! Long post is long! I applaud those who finished reading my endless rambling. If you want to talk about this just ask in the ask box! :)

Alabang 2012

Tuesday, May 15, 2012

My family and I went to Palms in Alabang for a swim since the heat is just a killer!  This is one of the many (well, for me it’s many) outings I went during my summer break. Unfortunately, my break ends next week and I hope the following vacation entries I will post will not make me lazy during the start of the term. 

Suddenly, my face. (*´∀`*)

On another note, I am not excited for this next term since I’ll be taking a subject that I don’t really like at all. I wish myself good luck. My backlogs are filling up. I hope I would still be able to post all of these while I take care of school work.
