July Project: 31-Day Drawing Challenge - Day Eighteen to Day Twenty

I've been feeling sick since I came home last Wednesday and since I feel like it's more bearable today... I started on sketching the three that I've put off. Hopefully, you guys could understand that these aren't as "well-planned" as the rest. I'm still coughing and I just wish it would stop.

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

~Photo of the Day: Packing... cancelled.~

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.

FEBRUARY 9, 2012

~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.

FEBRUARY 11, 2012

~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.

January 26, 2012

I'm still sick.

~Photo of the Day: Getting Better~

But, I'm getting better.

A little bit of art on the notes

Today just went by me because the lessons are still tolerable. Yet, I feel like I really need to get back to full strength so I can tackle all the lessons head on. Sad thing is, I have to report tomorrow and I just knew this afternoon. Then, I have other homework lists that are due tomorrow.

Well, our professor did warn us about the report, so I'm busting my butt preparing myself. I never like having spontaneous reporting but sometimes I just have to wing it. However, I wanna do my best and not show how bad I'm truly feeling right now. And, bring myself to the point where no one can tell that I'm sick.

Yet, all I want to do curl myself into a ball, with my fluffy blanket and equally fluffy pillow. And, have my it's-so-fluffy-I'm-gonna-die stuff dog, Strauwinsky. But no, I'm still sacrificing a little bit more time for accounting. Truth is, I love my course no matter how much I whine about it. I guess it's my way of talking about it.

I just want to thank everyone who's been with me earlier today. I kinda forgot that I was sick and it brought out a positive outcome. My temperature's not going back up to the 38's.

I'm getting better, hope it stays that way.

tangled. narnia. labour pains. how exactly was i supposed to study with these movies on television?!

January 25, 2012

Yes, another late post.

~Photo of the Day: "Best" Notebook in the Making~

My nonstop studying is finally taking a toll on my health. I am sick. Ever since yesterday, I've been feeling a bit more sore, especially during the nighttime. I'm guessing it's from being extremely tired of studying, stressing out on quizzes, and of course, trying to keep up with the rest of my life.

According to my mother, this should help

cure my sickness.

But, I couldn't afford to be absent. I had a quiz and, to say it frankly, I might fail that quiz because my mind wasn't feeling anywhere near a hundred percent. So, I might as well do so much better the next time around. However, my other quiz result came out and I'm one of the top passers. I wanted to celebrate so much and buy myself a cake, yet I knew that my immune system might not like it.

Even though it was late, and I was beginning to get really cranky, I had to just finish my homework and attend the next day. Because, I cannot afford to miss one.

Sick and tired,
AnaRay

things i do for the love of accounting.

December 27, 2011

I am sick.

~Photo of the Day: Cuddle with Strauwinsky~

I've done nothing but sleep and eat today. I was supposed to do a little bit of art but I can't. My lower back hurts and my head is spinning. Having my scoliosis does not help with my lower back so I'm in pain. Not really that much but I just don't want to walk, sit or stand any more than necessary. Then, I still have this awful rash on my face it's better than yesterday but I still have to be careful.

~Fictionpress~

I've been laying on my bed bored just hugging Strauwinsky (still cannot get over the name) while going on the Internet reading, sometimes I'd pick up my book but it just causes me dizziness. I slept a lot today, ate Froot Loops and Chips Ahoy. I don't like being sick!

Compared to my last post, I know this is super short but I really do need to rest. Me and my family are going to Boracay for New Year's. It will be the very first time that we won't celebrate it at home so hopefully our house does not burn on New Year's Eve. My mom's probably gonna take in a few guards but our dog, like any other dog, hates the sound of fireworks.

I just took this picture for the benefit of this blog.

Going to sleep,
AnaRay

i want to get better!

November 1, 2011

It's 11/01/11. Shouldn't we be making a wish right now? Or wait for 11/11/11?

Can anyone please define, empacho? 'Cause it's exactly what I've been feeling since I woke up this morning. Considering I did not even eat a lot, I guess I'm slowing down in my metabolism.

Today is All Saints Day and as usual, it's a rather big event in the Philippines. Family visiting their loved ones who moved on, and of course a hell of a lot of food stalls in the cemetery. (-____-") Not a good thing to bring up to someone who feels so full.

Basically all I did today was read a story from FictionPress entitled The Pull of Destiny, visit my grandparents from my mom's side, eat a lot of snacks and then my day ends to right now, writing a blog. Also, we finally meet the family of the person who was buried next to my grandparents. We've been visiting for awhile now (roughly ten years) and today was the first time we actually saw them. It was mind blowing, I actually had to like say it out to believe it; my mom even chatted to them a bit 'cause it's been so long.

~Photo of the Day: Manila Memorial at Night~

To what today meant to me: Visiting my grandparents' grave, well it makes me sad. I've accepted that they've moved on, but I always remember all the memories I've had with them. My lolo used to bring home chips (Lays, Ruffles or Pringles) every single time he went out. Then, my lola hates eating junk food such as chips because they're too salty unless it's the Piknik with 50% less salt. The time when we (me and Cham) were kids and we'd write on lolo's feet with a ballpen. Or when, lola played mahjong and she'd shout out Todas! then we'd find out there was a mix up in her cards.

To everyone else, these might be like everyday things... but isn't it the everyday boring things that stay with us?


I always wonder if people even scan through my blog. I wanna say that I don't care but I do. I mean, I don't write for the sake of the people who actually bother to check out my blog but I write because it helps me keep something stable, I guess?

I mean, I have no drama in life other than my studies (I sound like such a nerd, which I am) and my insecurities, which are summed up in a song called Ugly by 2NE1. No, I don't exactly understand what the lyrics in Korean mean, but the chorus which is in English well, yea that's how I usually feel like.


Remembering my grandparents,
AnaRay

my tummy hurts.

October 26, 2011

I finally got to go inside UST... for educational purposes.

I still feel sick and I've done nothing but sleep when I got inside the FX, the bus ride back to LaSalle and the bus ride back home. Thank God, I did not fall asleep during my midterms.

So my topic for today, since there is absolutely nothing else that I could talk about, is... what will be my costume for Madz's Halloween Party? This lucky girl really does celebrate her birthday on All Hallow's Eve and it's just now that I could recall that she'll be having a costume party.

See, I don't want to spend money 'cause this might be the last time I'll be wearing this costume. That is why, I am torn between being a panda or being Lilo from Lilo and Stitch. But, I won't be so strict as to wear exactly that. Kinda like this... but not that.

~Photo of the Day: Err... Costume?~

My head keeps spinning,
AnaRay

do i really have to go to class tomorrow?

October 25, 2011

I am truly and utterly sick.

It just means that I'm going to pass my midterms... I think.

Everybody has their own superstition like how I have to be sick on the time of my midterms in order to pass said exams. The truth is, I hate being sick because it gets in the way of me being productive. I actually had a whole outline planned out for this blog but my eyes are so droopy and my body is so sore that... I'm too lazy.

I got this picture from another blog and it's EXACTLY how I feel like.

~Photo of the Day: Sick in Bed~

I happen to have a lot of "must-do's" so that I could say that I will pass, or I had a great time and all that. You see on my debut, I actually tripped during my performance in front. A lot of my friends thought it was part of the performance but no, it was not. (^_^);;

Then, when I have a great time I usually lose my footing like in Cebu, I tripped on the stairs on Mae's porch. I also tripped in Tagaytay when I was with my Lounge Kroo, and then again in Batangas with LK. I really do have a lot of these, like when I drink tea while making a paper actually speeds up.

I dunno why I'm actually still talking... I really should be studying.

Reading the laws,
AnaRay

do i really have to post a picture today?

September 29, 2011

The layout and title is actually courtesy of my brother, since he told me that the message was wrong... and the layout was too boring, so... boom! there's the result.

I've been having this awful migraine the whole day. It just won't go away... I thought at first I was just hungry but no, my head just feels like it's going to explode. (@_@)

I don't like eating lunch in the school canteen unless I'm saving money but today was an exception. The food was actually passable, in fact, it was good! Parmesan fish, rice and vegetables. Yummy and very healthy. So thank you Mae,because of you we were too lazy to get out of uni.

~Photo of the Day: Healthy lunch~

I usually go on about a topic that just suddenly comes into mind but with this headache I can't even think straight. I've been editing this post for more than an hour and look where it's gotten me! Nowhere. (T_T) I feel so messed up right now... What to talk about...

Got one. This afternoon I got to see my friends again, well those who I was close to when we were still a block section. We're not that close with each other now, and I know it's probably my fault. I can't go with them anymore because they already have a different schedule than me. It's even harder to keep up with the conversation because their topics are usually something I'm unfamiliar about. I don't blame them, it IS my fault I didn't pass the basics...

It's times like these that I wish life didn't bring in change.

Feeling way too sick to continue,
AnaRay

is there such a thing as post-menstrual syndrome? because... damn.

Note to family, friends, friends-to-be, boss-to-be, co-workers-to-be and strangers...

I do not get cranky when you wake me up but don't talk to me about something important because more or less, I won't remember what you said. I am a morning person but I'm not THAT good. Actually, I don't feel well right now... watery eyes and pounding headache. (=_=)

Currently, I am watching the UAAP Cheerdance Competition 2011 on Studio23. I don't know who's going to win actually, I'm still waiting for the results since I'm not there for the live performances. But, I must say in my opinion, La Salle did a good job, jaw-dropping \(^o^)/ but then I witnessed University of the Philippines(UP) and Far Eastern University(FEU)... And my reaction was (O_O). But, let the judges declare the winners... University of Santo Tomas(UST) used church songs while National University(NU) awesome costumes! Super naaliw ako, hihi...

So in line with the current trending on Twitter and the main reason why I'm not resting...

Good luck to all universities! I'm waiting for the results here at home before I officially post this.

CONGRATULATIONS TO...
