The Little Prince

Last Thursday I bought a new book titled The Little Prince. Well it's not actually new but it is as good as new. It even had a plastic cover and the pages are so glossy. So I bought it from an online seller for only P100.00. I found the ad while I was browsing for cheaper books online.

Actually I already read The Little Prince when I was in high school. Sadly, the book wasn't mine. It was my teacher's. Back then I really wanted to have a copy of my own but my allowance was just enough for my daily expenses. I couldn't save enough money to buy this book because you see, I'm not really a thrifty person and I tend to spend my money on food, food, and lots of food. Hahaha! In addition, I really did spend a lot of money on school projects especially my investigatory project which would cost me thousands of pesos every year. So you could imagine how poor I am during high school, kekeke.

Well going back to the subject of this post, I think The Little Prince was really a great book. I like how it was written and how the writer conveyed the morals of the story. I remember the first time I read the book, tears were falling in eyes. I was like "Durn! Why does the little prince have to die?" In addition, the book reminds me of the perks of being a child. It also made me realize a lot of things in life. And now that I already have a copy of my own, I couldn't be happier.

So now whenever I feel like detoxifying and reading something light but meaningful, I know where to turn to. :)

Sick

Kakagaling ko lang sa sakit. Kahapon pakiramdam ko ay parang mabibiyak na ang ulo ko sa sobrang sakit. Gustuhin ko mang pumasok ay hindi na talaga kaya ng katawan ko. Ni hindi nga ako makabangon. Nakakalungkot dahil ganado pa naman akong pumasok tuwing Martes at Biyernes dahil paborito kong mag-lecture yung propesor ko sa Econ116. Napakarami ko talagang natututunan sa bawat pag-upo ko sa klaseng iyon. Kaya nanghihinayang talaga ako. Kung ang pagpunta nga sa palikuran habang nagle-lecture siya ay pinanghihinayanagan ko na dahil baka may mga ma-miss akong trivia, iyon pa kayang pagliban sa klase niya. Pakiramdam ko tuloy ngayon ay napakarami ko talagang na-miss na mga importanteng bagay. Paano na lamang kung nagbigay siya ng mga importanteng trivia. May isang section pa nga ako sa notebook ko na nakalaan lamang sa mga trivia niya eh. May paper pa nga akong dapat ipasa sa klase niya kahapon kaso dahil nga sa sakto namang nagkasakit ako, hindi ko dapat maipapasa. Mabuti na lamamg at nandiyan ang napakabait kong kumpare na si Lousie. Siya ang nagpa-print at nagpasa ng paper ko. Napakaswerte ko talaga at naging kaibigan ko siya. I fee so blessed.

Sa tingin ko ang pagkakasakit ko ay bunga ng stress dahil halos hindi ako natulog upang paghandaan ang aking thesis defense. Kinabahan talaga ako ng sobra dahil pakiramdam ko ay hindi pa ako handa. Ngunit dahil kasama ako sa first set of presenters, wala talaga akong choice. Bunutan kasi ang nangyari kaya kahit papaano, fair naman ang naging proseso. Hay... sa ngayon ay hindi  pa ako lubusang magaling mula sa pagkakasakit pero mabuti-buti naman na ang pakiramdam ko. Kaunting pahinga na lamang. Nagpapasalamat ako dahil nandito si Manang para ipagluto ako. Binigyan pa niya ako ng Biogesic dahil hindi nga ako makalabas para bumili. Napakabait niya talaga. Mabuti na lamang at mga mabubuting tao sa paligid ko para tulungan ako sa mga ganitong pagkakataon. 

Sa ngayon ay magbabasa muna ako ng paborito kong libro, ang The Little Prince. Para lang ma-detoxify ako sa labis na stress na pinagdaanan ko. Pagkatapos ay kailangan ko ulit harapin ang reyalidad... papers, assignments, and responsibilities. :)

Never Say Never... well maybe sometimes

I don't know why but this guy totally cracks me up. I suddenly forget all my worries everytime I watch his videos. In fact, I even tend to forget my assignments, lol. He's my current obsession. After watching a couple of his videos, I took a mental note that everytime I feel down I know where to go - to nigahiga's YouTube channel, hehe. 

Anyway I don't have anything against Justin Bieber. In fact, I had a crush on him for like... 3 days. I remember liking his "One Time" song and music video. I think the kid's pretty talented. I really don't know why many people are hating on him, hohoho. 

Oh well nigahiga's parody of Bieber's "Never Say Never" is so far the best Bieber parody I've ever seen. You should watch it. Ryan Higa always saves my boring nights. Teehee! :D

A Brand New Start

Hello! I'm feeling sorta happy today because one of my favorite authors greeted me in her book. I was jumping like crazy and my roommates were like... "what the..." So yeah, I'm super happy (just saying). 

So this post is not actually related to happiness. Rather, this is my way of saying goodbye to an old love. I decided to delete all my posts and restart this blog again. My previous blog was actually dedicated to YOU so that I could rant how much I hate and of course, love you. But now that the situation has changed, I think it would be useless to continue loving you. I changed everything in this blog. From its theme down to its smallest detail. It's like picking up the pieces of my shattered heart and starting anew. Maybe because I don't want to be haunted by your memories again. I've loved you and I always will. I hope that you're happy now because your happiness means a lot to me.

To my old love, goodbye. I wish you all the happiness the world could give.
