Purging negativities to grab a hold on my sanity.

UPDATE (06/13/13)

So read on, and thank you for visiting. ♥

Disney's Frozen: Memorable Quotes and Lessons (Re)learned

I just watched Frozen yesterday, before the entries for the Metro Manila Film Festival took over all the cinema showings. And boy, was I glad I did. While watching the movie Thor: The Dark World, we saw this Frozen teaser trailer. I laughed at this trailer. It was funny and hilarious. I then resolved myself to watch Frozen, simply for the fun of it. However, apparently, the teaser had nothing to do with the whole movie. Later...

Desiderata: The ABC of Happiness

Desiderata, is a prose poem written by Max Ehrmann in 1927. Some people call it the Desiderata of Happiness. Well, true enough, his words are to live by.  I've known Desiderata during one of our English classes in high school. My teacher instructed us to memorize the poem for a graded recitation. Years later, I still remember some lines, because these words are to live by. Whenever I feel down, vexed, jealous, disappointed or...

Dreams, 2

It’s funny how everything in your dream seems to be logical while you’re dreaming it. However, once you’re awake, the dream seems to be nonsensical – not to mention the fact how the scenes change very abruptly and you think it was natural. "Dreams" is a series of posts about, of course, my dreams. June 16, 2013 7:20 AM I woke up to the sound of my mother’s voice calling us to eat breakfast. No dreams whatsoever – or so I thought....

HFDS111 and Sigmund Freud

For some facets of the theory, I can actually call myself a Freudian believer. I strongly believe in the power of the subconscious mind. That everything we do is what we really intend to do, we may not just be aware of it. I also believe that jokes are always half-meant. And the ever famous Freudian slips. As part of our course outline in HFDS111 - Personality Theories, we will be discussing the lenses or traditions in determining...

Introducing Oneself: The Creative Way

Introducing yourself. Getting to know your classmates. Drawing your self-representation. These are usually done during first days of each class. However, some of our professors get a little bit... creative. During our first day for our EDUC102 (Theories and Principles of Learning) class, my professor instrcuted us to do a visual representations of ourselves. However, we need to use a triangle in doing so. She argued that having that...

I missed you.

After months of inactivity, I decided to blog again. :) Mostly, this blog is filled with random rants and thoughts about myself, and my ex-boyfriend. hahaha! So, I kind of want to revamp this page to something more worthy of reading, something more about who I am as I am. And for the past year I was happy being in a relationship with myself, I spent most of my time reading mangas, watching animes and such. This semester,...
