Realizations these past few days…

• “If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.”
• Encouraging texts and lighthearted tweets from your best friend are one of the best mood uplifters in the world! @stlleeeofish
• You’re not the only one stressed. Everyone has problems to deal with every day so don’t add to theirs. In fact, help them if you can.
• Nightly conversations and dinners with Maui and Yanna are one of the best de-stress-ers after a long day
• The best time to unwind and reflect is when you’re in transit. And yes, the MRT after 7PM is a great place to.. chill.
• Negative thoughts results in negative outcomes.
• When you’re stressed, you have no time for unwarranted self-pity.
• When you’re stressed, seeing your crush has no effect. But when you unexpectedly dream of him, then the good vibes take over early in the morning.
• Teamwork is very UNDERrated.
• When you come home from school every night for 3 consecutive days, your family’s going to think the reason is because you have a boyfriend. Sadly, it’s not true. #foreveralone
• Making a playlist helps.
• And lastly, a warm hug from your Baby Bro for every day you went home late is a great way to end a stressful day.

I’m really sad that the Ginny from the movies and the books are quite different. IMO, the movies didn’t give Ginny the attention (and the development) as a character and not just as Harry’s love interest. The Ginny in the books started out as a meek little girl, the little sister who has a crush on her brother’s best friend. When she grew up, she became this fiery and lively girl - a “popular” girl much like Lily Evans - and that’s what attracted Harry (and her other boyfriends) to her. The Ginny in the movies lacked this spark so the Harry and Ginny romance seemed really forced.

FYI, I don’t ship Harry x Ginny, but I really like Ginny as a character.

The Three Musketeers.

Awesome movie! Just gotta rant :)) /spoilers below.

1. LOGAN LERMAN + LEATHER PANTS + COCKY ATTITUDE = BOOM!!! There goes my lady parts. Didn’t really need ‘em. 
2. Scene stealers: The King and the Musketeers’ servant… forgot his name though =)) 
3. ORLANDO BLOOM. First time I’ve seen him as a Villain. And the last part when he was in the ship, I was like “OI HE’S A PIRATE AGAIN WHERE IS JACK SPARROW?” Still. Orlando Bloom = ovaries explode 
4. Did I mention Logan Lerman’s LEATHER PANTS? 
5. Milla Jovovich is a BAMF. 
6. Amazing plotline (historical fiction FTW) + action scenes + hot guys + comedy = Great movie. Almost as good as POTC. Only, I didn’t like the romance in Musketeers… hn. -__- 
7. I like the “romance” of the King and Queen of France though. They’re so ADORBS :3 
8. As for the 3 Musketeers, I like Aramis the most. He’s cool and collected… awesomesauce. 
9. After watching this movie, I thought of the Bloody Jack series… and how the 9th book sucked :( But then it made me realize, there’s more to the story than just romance… Reminds me of how I seldom like pure romance movies/books… I like adventure and comedy and fantasy and historical movies. Romance is just a side dish. 
10. LOGAN LERMAN AND ORLANDO BLOOM. ‘nuff said.

So…

We’re finally settled here in our old apartment in Dubai… and… and…

We had French Toast for breakfast. Random.

Anyway, I’ve only got 3 days here before I go back (alone. Mom, Ally and Bro are staying here for a month) to the Philippines… to my family and friends (who are more excited for the pasalubong than me. LOL.) the heat… the waiting school work… and reality.

I wanted to start blogging and posting the pictures but Ally’s laptop is broken and I’m using my Dad’s ancient laptop (How ancient? I’m using the Internet Explorer… without Tabs.) which has a gazillion viruses (I’m exaggerating, really. But there’s no way my USB is going near this thing.) and it’s a bit slow actually…

Anyway, I have loads of stories to tell and photos to share that I don’t know where to start. About the sights, the food, the expensive… things, experiences and anecdotes, the state of my chapped lips, sore throat and stuffy nose, how I survived 7 days without rice… you know, that sort of stuff. It’ll be a very detailed account.

Gotta go now. Lunch is waiting. We’re having KFC because our fridge is empty and 8-MCDO doesn’t exist here.

It comes in P A I R S

It’s weird.

Congratulate me on *finally* daring to recite in my EL 50 class. I’ve recited only thrice in this class… and two of them were done today! Yay me for being GC! TROLOLOL @-) But hey, you can’t blame me. This class was supposed to be only for Third Year students… and here I am, the easily intimidated freshman speaking up. wooo.

Today, I also encountered two very hoity-toity members of the faculty. And I was “scolded” twice for doing nothing wrong! Honestly! First when I was trying to get a photocopy of the list of Electives for my course, and then boom! In comes this control freak of a woman who readily “accused” me of “stealing”… wait no. That’s not it. Maybe just “messing up”… the bulletin board. But I already asked permission to borrow the papers in the bulletin board in the first place. Jeez. Next there’s another woman who asked us if there’s a photocopier in the Second Floor. I wanted to be nice and take her to it but she said (quite arrogantly) that she’s a member of the faculty and she knows how to get there… WELL WHY ASK IN THE FIRST PLACE? I mean, she could’ve just turned down my offer nicely… because that’s what I was trying to do… be NICE. Tsk tsk tsk. And to think they’re both part of the most prestigious university in the country and they act like that. Whuut.

Another thing that came in pairs today was when the cashiers in Taco Bell and Red Ribbon got my name wrong… and I used “Anna” and not “Annick”! Who knows what they might have called me if I used my nickname! The lady in Taco Bell called me “Hannah”… I was wearing the necklace my Dad gave me with a Letter A pendant so you’d think she’d get that it’s Anna with an A. And you’d think they might’ve recognized the girl who always eats in Taco Bell at least once a week. When I bought a slice of cake at Red Ribbon, the lady called me “Ara” and I’m like whuuuuuuut. Is there something in my voice, my pronunciation or are do the cashiers today have really bad hearing?

It’s weird.

I’m so tired. Brain-tired. Brain-dead. I think I cracked, LOL.
