April 22, 23 and 24, 2012

For the past few days I've been feeling very lazy, and so a post is just up for today.

Tomorrow, I should be updating a lot more frequently because of our trip to Palawan. The Coron part of the island instead of the Puerto Princesa since we've already gone there.

I just found the time to post at a bad time since I have to wake up tomorrow morning a bit earlier (around 6am). But nevertheless, I have to get to packing, which is the worst part of travelling... next to unpacking, I guess.

But for the past few days, I've been loving this "packing business" because I settled on a theme for our Palawan Summer Outing. Taking inspiration from Katy Perry's colorful candy-like outfits, I've taken some advice to get on with the bright and fun colors.

I've got a few colors packed but I doubt that I'll ever compare to Ms. Katy Perry.

Other than having the quest of packing up for yet another adventure, I also had to enroll my classes for the next term. I thank God that I got the classes that I wanted, without Him I probably wouldn't have gotten such a good sched.

I should be heading out now to get some sleep. 'Til tomorrow.

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.

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,

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

Might be my last Starbucks for the term

~Photo of the Day: Getting it right~

They finally got it right!

Tomorrow is my official first day of classes. From eight in the morning 'til two-thirty in the afternoon, I will be studying about finance accounting, finance accounting, lunch, and cost accounting (yes, in that order). So today, I had to pay for my books which reached a whooping six thousand one hundred fifty pesos (Php 6,150). That totals the ten books I need for the whole term, compared to last term's two books.

Truth is, I'm very excited to go to class and learn. The assignments I don't mind so much, unless they are super long. And, my friends tell me that they are IN FACT going to be super long. Hopefully, my calculator does not run out of juice, like that time I took my finals... and the qualifying exam.

Look what I got! Well, what my name "says about me",

And, big thanks to Zig and Louie for letting me go with them to Starbucks. It might be a while 'til I get to taste a Strawberry Belgian Waffle again.

RANDOM PICTURE!

for some reason, I found this really funny.

Will start studying seriously when I get my books,

To the guy who sat beside me in the bus,

We were wearing matching colors, I just thought it was cute. I wanted to

take a picture so, I waited for you to fall asleep but, you didn't. (-///-)

Packing... again.

~Photo of the Day: Baggage~

This seems to be the third adventure I've gone to since I turned 18. I am so excited and because of that, I don't think I'll be able to keep my promise to myself about the layout change for my blog. I'm having a really hard time on choosing from different websites because I want the blog to be as simple as the one I have now but a lot more personalized. Maybe I'll do the change when I actually learn how to do this... or find someone who does.

Anyway, I'm supposedly packing for Boracay... yea! And, I have absolutely no idea what to wear. What do you wear when you're celebrating the New Year's at the beach. Obviously, swim wear and stuff like pajamas but the daytime/nighttime wear. I'm so confused, I don't even have a pair of shades!

~Oatmeal~

Remember when I said. I had rashes on my face? well its gone now thanks to Bubz's oatmeal mask. if you want to try it, go to Youtube and type in "Bubz oatmeal mask". It should come out as the first suggestion entitled "Beautiful Skin Remedy".

Gotta get to packing,
AnaRay

So yea, me and my sis will be going to bora tomorrow. So I think my sis will be a bit conscious of her skin. As well as me XD .


Recovering,
LuiZ

Last-minute Christmas shoppers, I am one of those.

~Photo of the Day: Last Minute Christmas Shopping~

Since yesterday was a fail in buying the gifts, we had to do it today. Now, we got all of them after being in the mall for around seven hours, 10am 'til 5pm.

I'm keeping this really short since I have to be gone after I gift wrap these presents. Alright, gift wrapping to me is an art, like most of the things that I do, so I always want it to be perfect in my eyes. Since kids are going to open these, I've done the math (or prediction, whichever) and I believe they will open the present wherever the nametag is. I am literally planning ahead how the gift wrapper should fit the toy and when they open it, it should show the front part of it.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Gotta keep wrapping them toys,
AnaRay

plus, it sucks when you're a perfectionist.

December 18, 2011

It's the 111th post. Just thought it'd be fitting for the 2011 year.

Moving on, meet my new stuffed friend.

~Photo of the Day: Blue Monkey aka Luekey~

This little blue monkey was given to me by my little brother (Awww, sweet.). He actually won this from a carnival game in Enchanted Kingdom yesterday. He just came in before lunch with the monkey at hand and he was like, "Gusto mo?". I was studying my a$$ off for my exam tomorrow and the gesture just made me smile, and less stressed.

And, I took it because I thought it would add character to my already sort of messed up room. I don't think that it's messy just that there are a lot of knick knacks around, and I could never have the heart to throw any of them away. Hoarder much?

Besides acquiring this monkey, my mother gave me a green parol to offer in Mass. I don't have a picture because I never bring anything when I'm in church unless we're going out after. I really wish that I could just fast forward everything.

Seeing stars,
AnaRay

no more... please no more!

December 15, 2011

I left it all in God's hands.

Since the start of December, I've posted good thoughts because it's Christmas. Well, it came to my mind that, this Christmas, I might have the saddest news ever... academically. I want to continue being an Accountancy student but I can't imagine myself passing or being so serious about studies.

~Photo of the Day: Partnership and Corporation Grades~

Studying is something I don't want to do so I listen to my professors. I think it makes me look like a nerd because I listen so intently but it means I wouldn't have to re-read or review whatever went on in class. I do take down notes, hell, I have the most detailed notes in accounting, but I never read them 'til finals.

They said that to succeed we must work hard. I don't think I should be spending such effort on re-reading what I've just learned unless I didn't understand any. I had a professor who says something around the lines of , "An exercise a day, will make me a CPA". I always tell myself to do this but I get distracted by Facebook and 9gag.

This is me trying to blame something else if (or when) I fail. If I do pass, then it was all God's doing.

So nervous,
AnaRay

please. please. please.

December 2, 2011

It's the second day of December!

Pretty things. These are the second in the twenty five things that make me happy. So what defines pretty, well anything really.

~Photo of the Day: Pretty-fier~

The easiest treatment for the face. Seriously, all you have to do is leave it on your face overnight and then rinse it off tomorrow. Then, magic! my face feels like it's been totally pampered and it's all smooth and soft. What's so good about it is that I bought this for like I think around five hundred pesos, but it's so big and yea, I've tried it before.

Now, if you just wanna give it one go. Like have a trial version of it, they're literally masks that you place on your face for like twenty-thirty minutes, or until the moisturizing mask is dry. It's a one time use and usually they just come in for free. But, they totally pamper your face for like two days.

Hmmm, it's a girly post... yes. I'll show something else next time. I don't want this to be too much on the girly side.

What good deed have you done?

After spending spending a thousand pesos for coffee... It's HERE!

~Photo of the Day: Cherry Starbucks Planner 2012~

Yes, I spent around one thousand thirty five pesos (1,035.00) to get this planner. So now, all I have to do is wait for December so I can start writing on the dates. I like it, it's much simpler and easier to bring around than that of my older ones but it's 'cause those were really festive in design.

The reason why I invest so much on these things is because I really like making lists. You all know the kinds like to-do list, shopping lists... and all them. And, it gives me a lot of space to draw stuff around it. I'm actually planning on carving the wood part with some tic tac toe, or my name, just something to personalize it even more.

On the other hand, tomorrow will be my second day of guitar lessons and, I promise to bring my camera. I'm trying to play Jingle Bells, which honestly sound awful because I'm so slow and I keep on messing up but... at least I'm practicing, right?

My hair looks like a pineapple!

... Well, at least I think it does.

Playing with my hair,

I was supposed to go to an art museum today but apparently most museums are closed on Mondays.

So, I really thought about skipping this day, but...

I just had to say that I went to Wilcon Builder's Depot and I can safely say that that place is not a safe place for me. I feel like I was either going to break something or something was gonna break me. Well, we had to go there because Cham needed to buy a really long stick of wood for her class, I guess you could say that it was a Painting class. And, she had to make the canvas from scratch.

~Photo of the Day: To the Lumberyard!~

Besides shopping in the awful smelling lumberyard, we went to the mall to completely buy all of her stuff. Unfortunately, none was available so we just went around the mall. They (my dad, Luis and Cham) looked for certain stuff while I bought Auntie Anne's Pretzel. YUM!

I just saw the trailer for Happy Feet Two! It's so fluffy! Anyway, Happy Feet is not my second topic.

Have you watched Friends? I've been watching it ever since I was in my second year of high school and it never gets old for me. I love Jennifer Aniston as Rachel Green. She was kind of like the person I wanted to be if I ever like be in a TV series or whatever, which will never happen.

My TV changes to so many different topics, now it's on 50 things about the Harry Potter movies. I have to report this to Hanna, she is a big HP fan, her blog you could find here.

I know that I'm so random right now, but I wasn't able to fix anything. So hopefully I get my act together and...

I hope to be able to go to the art museum tomorrow.

Planning things to keep this blog alive,
AnaRay

going on adventures to make the most of my 18 year old self. 

Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero

October 29, 2011

I missed the party. Supposedly, I was going to the party with a military costume or something like Tomb Raider.

Buuuut... I'm packing for another adventure which starts tomorrow at strictly six in the morning.

I'll be going to Club Balai Isabel with my family and as usual we have a timed-itinerary and all that so we could hit everything. Basically, it's gonna be a lot of family bonding and activities that will probably tick one of us. Also, it means we might go up to trek to the Taal volcano which I hope does not suddenly erupt.

~Photo of the Day: Where I'll Be~

This is going to be like the second weekend in a row that I'm not at home. I used to be a home buddy, you know rarely leaving home. But now, I'm enjoying my college life as much as possible. Yea... enjoying college without drinking alcohol, kinda weird right?

And we went grocery shopping! I like going to the groceries, well... food. I love food.

Here's another song while I was waiting for our food in Kenny Rogers, this is to the beat of Demi Lovato's Skyscraper, the first part and like half of the chorus, 'cause our food already came.

I am hungry, and I'm waiting

For my fav'rite Mac N Cheese.

And, the chicken as it's roasting, like I'll never have a piece

Do they have to make me feel like there's nothing left for me?

They can take all the steaks I have

They can take the rootbeer that I have

'Cause I don't want those

I want my chicken

Packing up,
AnaRay

i'm finally unsick!

October 27, 2011

Apparently, I am going away again this weekend.

This time I'll be bonding with my family and I've got my brother to do all these sort of activities with me since he's like a friend to me. Awww...

But really, I am very thankful for my little brother who is really much much taller than me. And, a lot of people say that he's handsome (kill me now!). I've rarely mentioned my brother here since he's always so busy with either studies or PS3 or out with his friends, so yea, my brother has a more active social life than I did back in highschool. BUT BUT! I tell him which games to buy. (^o^)

~Photo of the Day: Random Post about my Brother~

Info about my brother: We celebrate the same birthday though he's five years younger. He's taller than me currently by around three inches. Baker. Gamer. Smart if he wants to be. Actually gets along with my friends. Sometimes I feel like he's my twin, my mother was just late. And yea, we don't look anything alike.

If you ask us what we'd like to trade with each other, it would be the skin color. Yeap, he hates his pinkish skin color and I'm not happy with my yellowish skin color. All in all, we're good on everything.

Oh, and this guy doesn't have a lot of scars (except for the one on his forehead which you will never see) since our mom will be so mad if we have a scar on us.

~My brother~

On the other hand, I've already gotten my "costume" and it's not even much of a costume, just a different look from me. I've still got one more midterm to pass tomorrow and I am free from all the studying!

As for where I'll be this weekend, Saturday here in Manila fixing up for Madz's debut. Then, from Sunday to Monday, I'll keep you guys posted.

Cramming,

AnaRay

my brother is weird. love you bro!

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?

I went to school early today to actually finish some school work. When I say early, I really mean eight o'clock, and my class starts at one. Yea, I needed atleast four hours to finish everything.

But, may I just say that today was awesome because I got my speech class grade, and apparently I do not suck at talking in front of people. To tell you the truth, she even told me that I was the best speaker in giving out an impromptu speech, and so my groupmates and I won a perfect score for that exercise. Seriously, I felt like I did that jawdrop thing, and oh my god. (O_O)

Honestly, I like talking to people I know but the truth is my heart starts to race when I'm in front of people, especially when I don't know any of them.

~Photo of the Day: The Speech Lab~

Today, I actually got to see Mel's condo for the first time But, before that, she made me go up to the swimming pool area first. Awesome pool, riiight? (^_^)

Since I am not a tenant here, I actually got a bit lost. Almost entered the gym, but BOOM! it was just at the side. I am so jealous... though we have a pool here at home, I wanna do some laps maybe.

All in all, today was not as boring as I thought it would be. It's been awhile since I went to someone's condo, and hopefully, I get to swim in the pool. (^o^)

Printing out tickets,
AnaRay

i really should ask my friends what they want for pasalubong.

October 11, 2011

Today, my Bible studies professor taught me how to sing the books of the New Testament.

I really thought today was gonna be uneventful but BOOM, here I am stressing on the concept of the artwork we'll be presenting for the Marian Week, and the tickets to get to Cebu. OR I could go to my highschool friends sembreak getaway. But, I am a bit biased on Cebu because...

~Photo of the Day: Where to go?~

A lot hasn't happened yet, but tomorrow, I'll be shopping for stuff. Secret stuff... meaning presents. (^_^)

It's been a stand still start for the week but I'm really hoping this picks up because tomorrow, there's gonna be a surprise in DLSU. I'm bringing in my camera, a decent one. Then, hopefully, I could post and edit it by that night as well.

As always, I commuted in the rain again... this time without an umbrella. Basically, this will be a shoutout to Mel to... GIVE ME MY PAYONG! (^O^)

Is having a difficult time choosing,
AnaRay

my brother went shuffling in festival... whuuut?

October 6, 2011

Today...

I ate at BonChon for the very first times; and,

I finally delivered my speech today.

So, thank God that my professor finally called me today. Honestly, I was wearing my last corporate attire since all of them are in the laundry, because... I had to wear corporate attire for five days. I only own dress-type business attire so it I could not just change the top or something. ANYWAY, BonChon!

YUMMY. I like Bonchon now, though there wasn't that much to choose from I really did like BonChon. Mae surprised us all this time, LOL. She said this word that has a double meaning in our language, one means stupid and the other means staring. So when she said *****, we were all like... (O.O)

MAE! TEEHEE! (^_^)

~Photo of the Day: BonChon~

As for my speech, I think I did good but my professor knows how to give really frank messages. She never sugarcoats it... my gulay, she's always so straightforward. It's very funny though, especially when she isn't commenting about your work.

Also, we watched the movie Story of Us. It's a kind of weird, sad but made me laugh all the way movie... I think it was supposed to be a drama but I don't know.

I have to review my studies now,

AnaRay

has two quizzes tomorrow and is cramming in four chapters worth of human behaviors and a whole lesson about division of profits.

September 23, 2011

I am currently doing my resume because I have a workshop tomorrow!

And, it's almost blank... because I seriously do not have a lot of activities nowadays since I'm still testing my powers of time management in college.

Actually, in my high school I had the guts to actually join the Student Council, in our case we called it the Student Executive Board. It was fun being there, I did a lot of things for school events, attended a bunch of seminars, was able to go to certain meetings that usually are reserved for school leaders.

My point is, while you're still in school be active! Never forget WHEN the RECRUITMENT WEEK is, because this year I totally forgot when it was. I have a really good reason though! I thought it was La Salle's Centennial Week but apparently that was like a week after during that time. So yea, epic fail I do not have an organization. (T_T)

I promise you all that NEXT academic term, I will take on organizations. Take note of the "S".

Well, if you guys want to add something like work experience which I was only able to put in because I "worked" for my mom's business. I don't even know if I should count that... (-___-")

Adding to that are research papers. Yea, the most hated part of every single student! But, apparently we still need to make tons of those so, sucks for us! But, they add to the resume.

So, today is definitely one of the most productive day ever because I have no time to finish this blog, since I've got a lot of things still to do. I'm leaving you with a picture of one of the most amazing something that I found online...

Tomorrow... Tomorrow...

你好 or Ni hao!

Today... most of the stuff we need is finished. YAY! \(^_^)/ much of the stress is now over. Even though today was the official first day of classes in La Salle, my first day of classes will start tomorrow with Personal Effectiveness Part2 as my first subject... I wish my classmates won't be boring seeing I don't know anyone else who will be taking that class at that time. (T_T)

Although I am excited for tomorrow, I still have not prepared for it. I wish I could see my blockmates... I haven't seen much of them for awhile. I MISS YOU BLOCK ONE!!! I miss being a frosh, when everything was easy. As the next term comes, my previous professor reappears..

~legendary professor looks like Mario... i hope sir doesn't get mad.~

This is one of the best professors when it comes to accounting... even though his quizzes are like super hard, they are really worth it if you're taking Accountancy as your degree! and the quizzes never fail to give me this look... (O.O") I passed my first course with him and failed the second, so I'm hoping I'll pass on my second take of the one that I failed. PLEASE LET ME PASS SIR! I WILL DO MY BEST... AGAIN! (^o^)

I wish my insomnia would go away tonight, I seriously need my sleep. I don't want to look like a zombie tomorrow and have baggy eyes, =_=

Just waiting for this day to end,
AnaRay


tomorrow... tomorrow.. i love you!
