A thought.
I told Kristen that I won’t post this in tumblr, but posting it might be of good thought. I was reading my dad’s old philosophy book and it was stated there that man cannot be happy until he is satisfied. This post is short, but you can get enough thoughts from it.
When we were born, our fists are closed. I think it is because we want to grasp everything in this world, we want to own...

Things to know about college entrance exams.
Actually these tips aren’t really official, but all of these worked for me, at least for me. I just want to share these to the incoming seniors who’re definitely going to take up their CETs soon! UPCAT’s going to be the first one, and it’s going to be the toughest as well.
Do not stress yourself the day before your exam and as much as possible relax yourself. Do usual...

10 types of couples.
the discreet - they don’t really go out officially, but everybody knows. no facebook status, no wall-to-walls but you know it’s them. you’ll see them around while hanging out with their friends.
the balance act - they go out as a couple, you see them hang out with their friends too. you’ll see their profile pictures aren’t really just the two of them. they know how...

No one is perfect.
People expect you to be perfect and push you around as if they know you. They don’t know what you’re going through yet they act as if they do. God made us equal, and unfortunately God gave me the talent of being unpredictably moody. I am patient, sure. I am very willing to listen, sure. But sometimes I get tired also, I look time for myself, for my own wants.
I don’t know why...

“But I’m always courting. I never stopped, no matter what.”

Additional notes.
If you are not satisfied with this,
And you want it to look like this?
You can always click the little circle. I suggest that you try on gradient!
You may experiment with the angle and the color but as of now we will stick with:
(This is the semi-improved version of this tutorial) And after all these your photo will definitely look weird, so it will look like this,
Of course...

Black and white effect, but with a twist.
Want it to look like this?
Choose a photo and after you’re done choosing a photo click ctrl+shift+u to make it into black and white.
And when you’re done doing that click the little circle and look for the word levels.
After that you have all the freedom to play with the levels of the photo. But in my case I used this,
Alright so you will have a more vintage-y picture, after...

10 reasons why I am happy.
I am satisfied with everything. What’s the use of always wanting more when everything that the Lord has given you is exceptionally beautiful.
I always take time to smell the flowers. No, don’t take this literally. But seriously, appreciate the little things because sometimes they’re the ones who can make you smile the biggest.
I don’t let hatred get in my system. It will...

Who is Tony Lopez?
Awhile ago my dad and I went to UST to get my uniforms, and out of nowhere he opened up something to me. He told me that he has an idol. I never knew a man like him would have an idol. Yes, my dad is very idealistic and philosophical. He is smart in the sense that he will study law with me and challenge me to top the bar against him. He is very smart and I idolize him. And again, I never knew, or...

Happiness is?
I couldn’t think of any title to this, so I placed in “I think happiness is?” People search for what makes them happy not knowing that it doesn’t cost anything, of course I can say this because I’ve been in the same scenario. I thought that buying this would make me happy but after months or so I am already tired of it. But being with someone you love is a different...

What is college?
I am not excited at all, I am more of curious and scared, well honestly, nervous. I want to take everything slowly, I want to adjust and not rush things. I might try out, but not really, maybe? I think I need to adjust first? I want to do a lot of things, but again, I think I need to adjust first. I am not used to moving schools since I’ve been in La Salle for 13 years of my life and I think...

There’s always going to be those 4 different guys...
guy #1: your best friend. he’s there for you, always. he would never let you down, cares about you, comforts you when you’re down, protects you when you’re put down. he would never betray you. keep him.
guy #2: the player. you can’t help but to fall for him. he seems to do everything right, so you think you love him. in the end, you find out he played you, lied to you, used you, and probably...

10 rules to live by.
Realize your own worth. Avoid comparing yourself with others. Each of us is special, because we are different one from one another.
Set your own goals based on what is important to you, not what others think is important. Only you know what is best for you.
Treasure the things that are closest to your heart. Cherish them as you would your life; without them life is meaningless.
Live your...

Since someone asked for it.
Okay, so here you go.
If you already have clicked that, choose > solid color > choose any color you want (but for me I’ll choose #805589) > then okay
Change opacity to 30% to make it look like
After that, click the tiny circle again (yes I don’t know what it is called so let’s call it tiny circle) and then choose > levels
Copy the certain level, or if...

Because I miss you.
I am very discreet whenever I feel lonely or mad, I take it in very seriously and only a few people see that side of me. I never really wanted to post something like this since this blog is my chill place where I post really feel good blogs about how my day went, or maybe what really fancies me. But I think blogging this will make me feel more comfortable and free.
I’ve been in the house...

Swimming with the pretty girls. ♡
So yesterday is my teammate’s mom birthday, so I went to southvale in daang hari to celebrate it with the whole team. It was fun seeing them again, and actually bonding with them. It has been a while since I did. So I met up with Inna, and then commuted to McDo to meet Kat cos’ she’s our transpo. Then when we reached the Caldo’s residence everyone was there already, we ate,...

Everyday it gets better.
Some people just give up on life easily not knowing that everyday it gets better, life has its own mysteries. Sometimes you’re up and sometimes you’re down, but that makes it worthwhile. Everything you do has a reason, it is already planted in your destiny. Destiny doesn’t come after you, you come after it. It is what you plan to do, it is like a maze, whatever path you take...

best friends to lovers vs. lovers to bestfriends
I got really interested in this question that I had to just blog about it. Of course I won’t be biased, and I’ll try to state an opinion here.
I find it very common among people wherein they are bestfriends first before they get into a relationship and I think that it is more painful than any other relationships. Most movies are inclined with this type of story because it is...
