Question & Answer
nataleyy asked you: How did you do the Milk Tea?
You mix milk, tea, and sugar. That’s basically it. :) That’s why I don’t get why people go crazy over Milk Tea shops. They can simply do it at home!

Continue making me happy, February! ☺
Since we are creative and we want to make our twitter usernames cute, we ended up with this. It was actually nice playing with our names! I’m actually satisfied with mine, though I am bit bothered because if you’re not from UST you won’t get the point of my username. But who cares? It’s nice and catchy that way. :)

While eating lunch, I realized ♡
Mom: Ate *insert name here* told me that kaya siya pa-picture ng pa-picture kasi bihira na ang nagpapakasal ng bongga ngayon kasi puro civil wedding na and live in.
Me: No. What the heck? It’s not with our generation. It’s like this, you become like people you surround yourself with. If you hang out with people who doesn’t believe in love, then you’ll end up just like...

Lunch date w/ parents. ♡
My parents decided to have a lunch date with me since they’re going to pick me up from my dorm, and we haven’t had a decent family date. They asked me where I wanted to eat. Since I am craving for Sushi, I asked if we could actually eat at Yakimix.
I actually had so much fun since I am a huge fan of Sushi and there was a huge range of Sushi, Maki, Temaki, and Sashimi. I was...

Anonymous asked: Hi, Ate Lara! I really want to be a writer for our school's newspaper, but I don't think I can. There's a screening tomorrow for the next academic year and that could be my last chance because I'm already at my Junior year. I'm really scared because I'm not used to writing looooong paragraphs and I have a feeling that the other and better writers will only laugh at...

My fascination with black and white.
If you haven’t noticed it yet, I have this fascination with black and white photos. I find more drama, more emotion, and of course more story whenever a photograph is black and white. I always imagine myself the one putting color into it by imagining how is it to be like.
I love black and white. And I promise to let you guys see more of what I see in the view finder.

#motivation
Going to cut on potatoes, rice, and pasta. Since I am motivated to lose 10-15 pounds! I seriously want my senior high school body back, and no one’s going to stop me! Of course I’ll have a cheat day, because I might die if I don’t. If I go to the gym everyday for an hour, I’ll make it 2x everyday for an hour! Only if my schedule allows me since…
I’m going to...

#NeverTellAGirl
She’s fat, or else you’ll get it.
That you love her if you’re not going to live up to it.
She’s beautiful when all you want is to sleep with her.
That you have a crush on someone else because she’ll compare herself to her all the time.
That she’s ugly, she’ll never forget it. She’ll blame you for her esteem.
To stop eating… She’ll...

All of us are stupid. Each and everyone of us! Even though how hard we try not to say bad things, we cannot — we’re human. People aim for perfection, “oh she’s nice” “oh she’s pretty” but well, fuck that. We are all imperfect, stupid, and hypocrites. We tell ourselves to not do this, but we do. We tell ourselves to not say this, but we do....

We headed to the AB pav right after we have changed into our “shoot” clothes. We were so excited that we forgot the time! The make-up took so long, so Pauline and I went to Austurias to pick up some street food. After that we headed back to UST to start with the shoot.
It was fun since it was with friends and it...

10 things.
Read what’s bad, read what’s good — but save the one that’s good, and delete the one that’s bad.
Be careful on who you trust.
Sometimes your instincts might be correct. Believe it.
Don’t blog to impress! Blog to express and be happy about it. It’s not about the notes you get, but how fulfilled you are that you have expressed whatever you want to say.

10 things to fulfill.
I should keep things to myself. I shouldn’t just tell everyone everything, since I should be careful now on who to trust. :) College is dangerous.
I should smile more. It’s better that way, and you don’t know? You might actually infect someone with your smile.
I should surround myself with good people.
I should stop bitching around. It’s not really a good thing, it just...

I like it big.
I was planning to watch a movie, have dinner, and give him a puzzle but then he’s sick and I’m sick, and something happened — so we settled for a simple Valentines day :)
It was the best so far, so I guess rather than doing things big, and making things big — simple is better. I gave him a big card since I want him to have something he never had before. I want him...

2/14: Valentines day.
Since I’m going to be busy next week, I’ll post this now. :)
It’s valentines day and everyone has the license to be either bitter or cheesy. It’s not about the material things we give, nor about the extravagant things we do. It’s the thought that counts. A simple hug, a simple kiss, a simple letter, or a simple greeting means a lot already.
I hate valentines day,...

On being a Journalism major.
After how many months of writing, reading, and trying to love the idea of loving details — I appreciate my course more. I know a lot of people will think of Journalism as something not challenging, they think that once you can read and write, you’re okay…
I find it rude whenever people look down on me whenever I answer their “what’s your course” question with...

Journalism versus Behavioral Science.
We went to the Educ open court to support Journ. It was so intense that I forgot to actually utilize my camera for pictures. I was hoping that Journ would win, but I guess Behavioral Science deserves it. Good job, Journ! There’s always next time!
