My mom just closed our upstairs windows
to prevent asthma-unfriendly firecracker smoke from seeping into my room and possibly killing me.
Why yes, I will need to stay home all day long for New Year’s Eve. However did you guess?
Looks like it’s just me and you, Tumblr.

Some crazy people on my street
have been lighting loud as hell fireworks at precise 14 second intervals since 5 fucking PM.
Who does that?
I mean, really, who does that?
And most importantly, are they planning to keep this up until actual New Year’s Day?

On being an Internet-shunning hipster
I’ve read three books straight from December 23 to today and I’m polishing off my fourth one. I read half of The Lost Symbol, left it to sit for After Dark, read the next half, finished Norwegian Wood yesterday morning, and I’m in my last 12 pages of The Great Gatsby (I’m delaying the inevitable).
I’ve been sick since the 26th, enough to shun sitting in front of my...

Norwegian Wood
Sometime ago, I half-promised to write more and whine less (it’s okay if you didn’t read that one though, it was unnecessarily long). While in my completely objective opinion I think I have been whining less, I haven’t really been writing more about things even if no one else will read them. Because I am a woman who never fails to half-commit to my half-promises, I’m...

A Holiday Message From Ricky Gervais: Why I’m an...
Reblogged from tamburina:
Why don’t you believe in God? I get that question all the time. I always try to give a sensitive, reasoned answer. This is usually awkward, time consuming and pointless. People who believe in God don’t need proof of his existence, and they certainly don’t want evidence to the contrary. They are happy with their belief. They even say things like “it’s true to me” and...

An affront to the eyes of God by Roger Ebert →
I am not concerned so much with Church teachings, but with the way men’s minds work. To put it bluntly, I believe the world is patriarchal because men are bigger and stronger than women, and can beat them up. The earliest archeological evidence we have for human family development indicates patriarchies preceded written language. Indeed, if we study other primates we see that their cultures...

Isn't it strange
how when you’re writing something, you start off thinking it’s brilliant but as you go along it just gets crappier and crappier you start to think it wasn’t brilliant to begin with and end up scrapping it?
Or is it just me?

I'm going to post this on Tumblr
because for some reason, whenever I try to tag my friends on the Facebook Note version of this, when I start typing @Sel or @Are the drop down thingy doesn’t display my friends’ names but fan pages (“David Wong” is apparently a director). It’s weird and because I’m completely inept when it comes to techno know-how, I gave up and just decided on posting it here....

Dear people who wish to shower me with presents:
Please be warned that I’m broke and whether or not I will return the favor is the wrong question; whether or not I will be able to save enough money by next Friday is the right one.
In any case, if you’re the sort of person who will get weepy if you will not be given a gift in return, then please kindly (or, you know, happily) cross my name off your list. I’m sorry for the...

Today I went to SM by myself
to find a gift for the social nuisance that is Secret Santa InTACT-style. It was okay, though. Even if I was by myself. (Btw, InTACT is a pseudo-homeroom class freshies have in Ateneo called Introduction to Ateneo Culture and Traditions which manages to strangely be both more fun and more boring than high school homeroom—oh, the conflicting emotions of a freshie.)
But before I elaborate...

I’ve been thinking about shifting, transferring, doing other things… the world is my oyster and all that.
I am so confused.
