Supposedly, I was gonna stay at my friend's condo.

disclaimer: i do not own the photo.

But, I'm still a tad unstable and I need all my energy for Valentine's day.

No, I've got no date but I am happy to say that today is the last day of quizzes, which means in three days' time. It's exam time. This is what makes the La Salle terms a hassle. Though the school has the reputation of passing all the graduates through the board exam, getting to graduate with a degree on accountancy is one of the hardest part. Still willing to take the challenges though.

I keep on writing my posts, but I never get around to taking a picture for it. I guess, that's why they're late.

Love. Peace. Joy.

no... i am not excited to see the turnout of my grades.

Last FIVE Days RECAP. (February 8-12, 2012)

For the past five days, I've been feeling incredibly sick.

But, a lot of things have happened even though I was sick. I still came into class and took the quizzes that I'm not even sure if my mind had comprehended what was on the paper. Needless to say, those were not my top quizzes.

So here's a recap of the last five days. Of course, with their pictures.

FEBRUARY 8, 2012
~Photo of the Day: JPIA GA~

After our class in cost accounting, we (me, Jeth, Arvie, Lea and Winnona) headed back to Winnona's house via LRT. I am not accustomed to riding trains so I was really surprised to see it very cramped. Even though we were in the ladies' cart, I was still very mindful of my surroundings. We had lunch of Dinuguan and rice, and dessert of ripe mangoes and watermelon. Also, the reconstruction of the puzzle letter was completed and Winnona finally was able to read the message after two years.

Then, we rode back via train back to LaSalle to attend the Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants (JPIA) General Assembly. I must say that we had a really fun time. Most of the Block One (ID110) was there. Some even participated in the JPIA Artists's Guild (JAG). We tried to win the Human Bingo, The Boat is Sinking (which was unfair because they chose the people who were wearing shorts, last I checked that's not how you play the game), then the last game of Pera o Bayong. The last game was mostly played by Block One, glad to be part of that class. And I was the last contestant standing. In the end, I won ONE THOUSAND PESOS bu the grand prize was three thousand.

This is beginning to be a long day, because at nighttime was my mother's birthday celebration. It was celebrated at the restaurant nearby called, Sis at the Seaside.

~Photo of the Day: God give me strength...~

I began not feeling well yesterday but it got awfully worse today. We had a quiz and a report due. I could be barely speak without my voice cracking. My exam that day was surely gonna be one of my lowest since I was not able to finish the quiz.

FEBRUARY 10, 2012
~Photo of the Day: A Cup of Tea, anyone?~

It's getting better today. I was able to take my quiz a lot better than the day before but still not very confident. I began tearing up due to exhaustion when lunchtime came. But, I'd like to sneak in a thank you to Lea for the free lunch, an advanced happy birthday celebration. Three cups of tea in the morning, and three cups of tea at night. A lesson I learned from Mulan.

~Photo of the Day: Early Morning Review~

I'm feeling good. I woke up at 4am to get ready for class since it was yet another quiz day. Yes, I am aware that it is a Saturday. This quiz was much easier for me and I was able to finish it. Today is Lea's real birthday so when she entered the classroom our whole class containing twenty one students, burst into song. Then, asked for our professor for plus points, just as a joke though. Before going home, Lea treated us again with Starbucks. When I came back home, I felt awfully tired and my parents with my brother left for QC. I was told to sleep and I did right after I ate lunch. I slept from 1pm 'til 8pm. I woke to a large serving of Serenitea and dinner.

FEBRUARY 12, 2012
~Photo of the Day: Wong Fu... In Manila~

I'm good now. And, studying again for the umpteenth time because I did none yesterday. I just learned that Wong Fu will be coming to Manila. I must see them... but I might be so busy due to my majors this term. But, when will they ever visit again? Ahhh, decisions... decisions. Wong Fu For Life!

Well, I said I was never going to do this again. But, I just don't have the time to give each day a post of its own.

Still sniffling,
AnaRay

a week of sickness during the modular's hell week.

Nooooo, I do NOT understand.

Basically, my week's been so full. And, now is the only time that I even have the time to recreate my posts.

~Photo of the Day: Hectic Schedule~

I am very sorry but I'm literally fully booked. I wish to be more free but comprehensive exams are coming in less than a week so I have to be totally prepared. For, I need to pull up my grades for the very last time.

Dear God, Please help me.

Tomorrow's (February 8) my mother's birthday. And, then after that I might as well not have a life. Because, I  do not wish to be a very boring post. I will be updating on the February 8 post tomorrow. I promise that it is a hell of a lot more... interesting.

Live your life for me,
AnaRay

because, time just seems to be not enough...

February 6, 2012

I just want to say that this day has been so lonely.

~Photo of the Day: Where are you?~
i do not own this image.

I mean, I always seat in the back row and Jeth's usually somewhere near me. But, today she was absent due to food poisoning. She always did have a sensitive stomach.

What's so sad about missing a friend?

Well, first off, we lost the privilege of going to her condo. LOL.

And, I have no one to laugh with when a professor makes a pronunciation mistake.

Plus, monopoly deal just isn't the same without you.

Long story short, don't get sick 'cause a friend will surely miss your presence.

You are what you eat,
AnaRay

what the hell, did she eat???

I got my wish!

~Photo of the Day: Fishy, I'm here!~

We've had this planned since last year, the question was when we could actually go there. And we went today! Where is there exactly? It's at the Manila Ocean Park and I consider it like a more convenient Marine Park/ Oceanarium to go because it's right in Manila and the prices are very reasonable. Plus, the place really is amazing, even though it was hit by the storm last year.


This fish looks sad. But, he kept on following our camera so we assumed he wanted his picture taken. So, here is one of the biggest fish I've ever seen considering it isn't a shark. I'm not exactly a big fan of fishes but they still amaze me. There were three shows that we would've gone to but we came in late so we only had the laser and water fountain show.



The show was long so it really was worth the wait. I had laughed my butt off watching these three stars named: Shooting Starfish, Rising Starfish and Falling Starfish. Gosh, and there was this lobster and chef, then the lovey-dovey lionfishes. Just go watch it at the Manila Ocean Park.


Bye bye, sea horses!


Just keep swimmin', just keep swimmin',

I usually do not do homeworks on Saturdays but... I have to catch up.

~Photo of the Day: "And, I'm like... WTF?!~

then, how the hell...

later, screw it just smile!

remember, a smile takes away the stress and lifts up your spirit.

And, I skipped out on my guitar class, which was sad because I really wanted to go.

SIX HOURS... of understanding one subject. It is so sad. I feel like I don't even have a life anymore.

Get me out of this house!
AnaRay

yes, i need to go out.

February 3, 2012

Because life could never be complete without a little bit of art.


~Photo of the Day: Capucine~

I'll never be able to live life without creating atleast one doodle a week.


And, I'm getting a tad bit obsessed with these nail stickers. I now have a different pair every other week.

Because, I want to catch up on sleep.

Catching up on a lot of Zzzs,
AnaRay

life... such a colorful thing.

Dear world,

~Photo of the Day: Quack up Your Day!~

I have a duck.

The second of February has been so stressful with two quizzes. Though the first one, I bet would be a total fail. I have good feeling about the second one.

What's so hard about being able to keep up this blog isn't about the time or the lack of topics, 'cause there are tons of things to talk about that are available for blogging. The thing with being tired is that I could never be so productive right after, my brain just goes to sleep and only wakes up when it comes around midnight. Basically, for the whole night, I had tried and tried how to solve for three unknowns.

don't ask.

Problems of a nerd.

I know that I am a nerd. I'm not smart like most of my friends but I do manage... somehow. The "nerd" part is because I could never let go of a "problem" or "exercise" until I get it right. It's what lead to my two-page solution for one question.

And then, I remembered that there was a shortcut in my calculator.

Sometimes... just take the easy road.

It's the first day of the month of the hearts!

So, you've got thirteen days left if you wanna have a Valentine this year. I... am not planning to have one. Girls like me, who are a bit immature about these things, are gonna stay single. Unless, we start to grow up. I hope to grow up and be "mature" enough for that kind of relationship.

~Photo of the Day: Tree Art, inspired by Japanese styles~ 

Basically, today I've finished draft of the cover of my MODFIN2 notebook. It isn't as flashy as my MODFIN1 but I thought that it still looks pretty cool. I'm planning on using actual black paint for extra effect, but I'm afraid that too much water might not be suitable for the cardboard paper.

one problem = five paragraphs.

Because of my insanity to be lazy, I now have an even bigger pile that is apparently due tomorrow. God, I can be so clueless. I even spent my afternoon playing this game called, Stray Souls: Dollhouse Story. Fair warning: I am terrified of dolls that look like people, hence, Chucky or Chuckie the cursed doll is the most horrifying movie in history.

Nerd mode for the thousandth time,
AnaRay

oh look, there are five ways to depreciate a building... greaaaat. not.

January 31, 2012

I'm posting every other day.

~Photo of the Day: A Cliche Story~

But, no worries. I'm still going to separate them.

The thing with me and discovering FictionPress is that I never seem to be able to put it down. I'm so obsessed to read the stories made by authors, usually around ages of 16s to 22s. There really are some that are worth the read, you just gotta be patient in looking out for them.

So, instead of being productive, I just read until chapter 10 of this story, entitled All Along by KNE. Here's the link to the first chapter if you're interested, All Along, Chapter 1. Then, I went to sleep. 'Cause sadly, our trip back home was worth two hours of moving at a snail's pace. And, we were already at the South plus a few errands that had to be done.

I hope that all of you are still having a awesome year. So, how's your first month?

Mine's been crappy because I'm being such a nerd and still I fail a couple of exams. I am never happy about failing but it's one of the few bumps on the way to success. And, you know what? I don't care if this bumpy ride is as long as the Andes Mountains, which is considered as the longest mountain range. I am determined... persistent... and all the other words synonymous to that, to get to graduation.

Holding on,
AnaRay

really though? no plans for the social life?... monopoly deal, not counted.
