Reality check
I have just finished unpacking everything. I'm not sure if it's my lack of sleep that's making me really tired right now or if it's just the back-to-school feeling. School doesn't even start until the 11th, 13th for me even. I'm already here because of enrollment. Boooooo!Guess I'll be spending days alone. Again. Have breakfast alone. Lunch alone. Merienda alone. Dinner Alone. Midnight snack alone. :( Dear Lord please don't make me end up alone. Ha-ha-ha.
My wall looks so bare...I'm going to go to National Bookstore to buy craft materials. Aaaaaaah, I love crafts. *I die*

NO.
Yes.
ERRRRRRRRR no.
Please talk to me.
Back to school shopping spree!
I went to the mall with Gab and Mom this afternoon to buy the things I needed for school/the dorm, but since I couldn't recall needing anything necessary, I went for a 360. HAH! Mathematically speaking, though, the expression "going 360" is wrong because you'll end up where you started in the first place, so it's supposed to be just 180 (where is the degree symbol) if you're talking about opposites. I had this argument with Sr. Agnes in Senior year and my classmates just got pissed of because they believed my argument was pointless and off topic. But hey, was I wrong? No.
Going back to the original topic, I went shopping for back-to-school clothes instead. I was planning to do this in Manila already but considering the fact that I didn't have the guts to ask my parents for more money and my mom offering me a scratch on her sparkly credit card, I couldn't say no. And so I didn't.
You might be wondering why this post is so important or why I'm even talking about the clothes I shopped for. Reason number one: I am not a fashion blogger. Reason number 2: Everyone knows I don't intend to be one. My point exactly, is that I'm blogging about this because I bought three dresses, 3 printed leggings, and a top, all for just - hold your breath - Php 1,750. That's barely 2 blouses from Forever21!

| I bought this dress because it reminded me of Serena, which is weird, because I don't even like her anymore. |

| I just liked the zipper at the back. Hahaha. |
I am hardly ever given money to shop, and when I am, it's only enough for a top or 2, max. Today, Mom allowed me to get seven freaking pieces of clothing. It may be normal for you, but it's a very rare special occasion for me. I'm not going to shop for clothes for the whole first semester. I am too happy and contented to do any more shopping.
My last day in Roxas was pretty well spent. ;)

Dan X Blair
A lot of people tell me I'm choosy with everything but when I like one thing or another, I get too attached to it and I tend to get a little too obsessed as well. The best way to deal with this, I think, is to blog about whatever I'm obsessed about. At least it's my way of keeping me on my sane side. (Why does everything sound so redundant...)Thus, this post is dedicated to my favorite couple in the whole world, DAIR.
To be honest, I don't really like Dan, but I think he and Blair make the best couple in Gossip Girl. I find them really cute together! I mean come on, they talk about literature and democracy (do they? hahaha), and I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!!!
On the other hand, I know that most fans support CHAIR because "they are meant to be". However, I think Chuck and Blair are nothing without their games. They are both too vain when it comes to pride so they don't make a good match. Blair humbled herself enough to admit she had feelings for Dan, who she used to hate for being poor, and I think it's the best thing that ever happened to her. And him.
Simply, Chuck and Blair share the same lifestyle while Dan and Blair share the same interests. I don't know with you guys, but for me, it's personality that really captures the heart. Also, lifestyle differences are easier to settle as compared to interests that don't meet.
Dare to DAIR! *wink*

Oh my God. The Perks of Being a Wallflower will be showing on September 14. Please Lord I will do anything just please allow me to watch this on the day itself! I've been waiting for this since last year. I'm just a little concerned, though. The book isn't really for kids because drugs and sex are involved but I'm pretty sure a lot of people are watching because of Emma Watson and Logan Lerman...or I don't know. Maybe it's me overreacting again.
Just a thought.
My Lookbook is dead. I need to get skinny.
DIY R2D2 shoes
Yesterday, I made a DIY Galaxy shirt and promised to finish my R2D2 Vans. It wasn't that easy because I had to wrestle with an ugly and unruly unworthy-to-be-called-a-paintbrush. More like a malnourished cow's toothpick, maybe? Hahahaha.
I didn't clean my shoes before painting on them because I wasn't sure if they'd turn out how I wanted them to, but they did, surprisingly. *regrets, regrets (insert #OCproblems hashtag here)*
Ladies and gentlemen (and other species from outerspace who might be stalking me), I present to you my hand-painted (more like foot-painted hahaha...I talk to myself too much :| ) R2D2 KVD Vans! Sorry, Vans, for ruining your product but Star Wars comes before you in my awesome list.
I wore my shirt today. I got too excited to have it washed beforehand. Gross, I know.
I wonder what my next project would be. I am open to suggestions! :) Leave a comment?

DIY Galaxy shirts
If there's one thing I really like about my upbringing, it's how my mother's side of the family immersed us, intentionally and unintentionally, in the world of arts, crafts, reinventing junk, and DIYs if you want something you can't afford. Kidding about the last one, of course.
Anyway, this afternoon, I brought a shirt to the museum (Go visit the museum anytime guys! You all are welcome *insert welcoming hug here* well except for... *rolls eyes* but okay since it's not a place under my ownership I shall have to accept that you are and pretend to be extremely happy about it) because I knew they had paint there. Ooh, sneaky me. Buahaha.
Thanks for the paint, Jorge! We all had so much fun working on this t-shirt:
My mom had to leave me behind because after her office hours, I was still busy with mine (tambay hours, if you know what I mean). When I arrived home I showed her the shirt and she wanted me to teach her how to make one so she asked the maid to put out this gigantic basket filled with at least 20 bottles of textile paint. Ugh, can't believe she lied to me when I asked her if we still had paint at home! So, yeah, we spent the stretch of the evening painting shirts, shoes, and cloth. Well, Julia painted the cloth at least (she does try okay and don't judge her because as her older sister, I'm the only one who has the right to do so).
I'm going to post pictures of my Chucks and Vans that I painted on when I'm done.
We might sell shirts like these so watch out. Thinking of making one for a blog giveaway....or maybe not. I don't know. You tell me. *wink wink* Or maybe I should give one to the most faithful to my dying blog. Hahaha!
