One week of condo living and I'm sick of it already :/ I hereby diagnose myself with cabin fever. Symptoms include:

♥ restlessness
♥ irritability
♥ forgetfulness
♥ laughter
♥ excessive sleeping (hoshit YES)
♥ distrust of anyone they are with (but I am NOT with anyone, that's the point!)
♥ an urge to go outside even in the rain or snow or dark

So if you ever find yourself in the Makati area, do drop me a line and lets have breakfast/lunch/coffee/dinner together. I am THAT desperate. A special invite goes to other people reviewing for their board exams as having a roommate might help relieve some of my symptoms @_@ Rates are VERY reasonable, especially if my parents know you personally.

Thank gaaaahhhhdd I go home on Sundays.

Now that I've humiliated myself in the intarnets, here are some random snapshots from the week:

I need more friends. And if I could choose, I'd like them to be nikonian. I woke up from a hilarious dream during an (unintentional) afternoon nap. It had to do with my friends IRL and quirks of nikon hardware. I laughed for a solid five seconds after waking up. Then I realized I wouldn't be able to share the funny story, because the people I know won't get it T_T

Today's attempts at my photography homework failed.

This week's homework has to do with taking an environmental portrait, and so I had my heart set on taking a picture of my friend Trixie as a commuter. I even took a VERY long route home just so I could commute part of the way with her @_@

By my teacher's words though, today wasn't a total failure because I did learn something from my attempts. Like, how light-wise the MRT is more photogenic than the LRT. How I could have solved some of my lighting problems earlier with either a graduated ND filter or shooting at a later time of day (but then there'd be more people along the platform :/ ). And more importantly, how fun it is to do these photography exercises with friends, even if they aren't as interested in photography!

Also, the money shot:

Its no homework, but definitely one moment I was happy to capture!

Let the pictures do the talking, because somebody just pissed me off. Bah, stupid people.

( These pictures don't add up to a thousand words, but they'll do. )

Because of the phakin' plant design, I missed out on a lot of stuff. I missed out on tons of big parties (some in my own house), mall trips, and even being there for a friend when she really needed company (sorry again, you know who you are).

One of the more painful things however, was missing THIS:


ARGH. PARASAILING IN SUBIC. Just when I was hosting a plant design overnight at my house!!!

Well not anymore! I am officially free~! Technically we still have to put in the final edits and bind the thing, but its pretty much done. YAY.


Also, an erratum (as demanded by Beans): Apparently our prof adjusted the grading system, so now I got a 2.75 instead of a 3.0 in ChE 126. How anti-climactic.

I don't get any sleep.

I have had more break-outs this semester than I have ever had in my life--except maybe that time when puberty first reared its ugly head.

I have 251687613454 things going on in my head at any single time.

I have grown accustomed to my purple eyebags. Same goes to my bloodshot eyes.

I always feel like shouting at somebody then smiling goofily. Y'know, like PMS, only minus the PM part.

I have started treating my routine stuff like taking showers and reading email as "everyday luxuries", which I indulge in more and more each day. I have been hitting the F5 button far too often.

I am always googling up skincare products in the hopes that on the day this torture ends, I'd be able to reverse the damage.

I keep thinking I should make a quick trip to the mall and get those products ASAP, so I'd only have 251687613453 thoughts to go.

I wish I could think about my plant design and lab experiments as often as I think about skincare.

I want to my life to have something beyond imaginary skincare and acads.

I PHAIL. T_T
