I got hugged, lifted up, and KISSED by Ate Sheila of Adams! (Intramuros' school supplies/mini grocery store)

As I always do when I enter the store, I greet all of them, especially my favorite Ate Sheila. She seemed pretty occupied when she passed by me but I still greeted her, but croo croo, I was unnoticed. Ate Carmela said something in their dialect, I don't know what that is, then after a few seconds while I was about to buy the stuffs I need, I suddenly got hugged from my left side, lifted up and got kissed on the cheek! I only realized it was Ate Sheila when she lifted me x)

She explained that Ate Carmela told her in their local dialect that I greeted her but she did not notice me.

Her gesture really surprised me for no one has ever done that to me before :">

SURPRISINGLY, THIS IS MY 100TH POST!! What a lovely 100th post this is, hihi

I LOVE YOU ATE SHEILA!!

Though, I kind of tried to withdraw from the hug because that's my immediate response when I get hugged. I'm just not used with being hugged. My guy friend who likes hugging me whenever we meet gets the same response, and sometimes I even 'punch' him and don't hug back. I'm just not used to it, but that doesn't mean I hate their gestures. I totally appreciate it. Let's just say it's the Tsundere way.

I CANNOT BELIEVE SHE CAN CARRY ME or lift me up. I'm taller than her. But HIHI, that must mean I'm not heavy :">

I just finished reading The Fountainhead!! XD

Yeah, after more than a year of reading xD When I was still at Theory of Architecture 1 class, I was only able to read like two-thirds of it, or maybe just half. Then I still read it rarely, but quite briefly. It was only three weeks ago when I felt nostalgia on current students of TOA1 making their own book reports. I then decided to finish reading the book, where I'm already at the last part.

It was the power outage yesterday that motivated me to actually & literally finish reading, probably because I have nothing else to do during the day. It was worth it ^_^ It was this morning (5am) when I woke up and read the part of Howard Roark stating his lengthy sentiment in the court, up to the ending and a part of the extra which describes Ayn Rand's perception of the visual character of the protagonist.

I'm just not in the mood to blog about the story lately, but I have realized key things: in creating, one must love his creation and thus not let any distraction get in the way. I should truly prioritize my studies and works if I truly care about them and myself. I never want to be considered a second-hander like everyone else. I'm proud to be a person who doesn't want to go with the flow but I can definitely say that I submit myself to the people I care about, which is somehow toxic unless it won't ruin me and it is my firm and sound decision.

Wooh! Ayn Rand, thank you for your book. Thank you Sir Ted for obliging us to read it and even make us create a book report for it. I wouldn't think I would force myself to read half of the book for a few limited days if it weren't for the forced & graded requirement for completion of that course.

I just can't defend myself.

Apparently, there have been a number of people who bash me behind my back. LOL a month has passed since that issue started! I cannot believe some people make an effort to talk about another person behind his back and yet he doesn't even give a damn! Such a pathetic act.

I won't say anything more even if I wanted to because as I will type those things and let negativity enter my thoughts and my heart, I'll just feel bad and I might have palpitations again. I don't want any health issues so thank you for the efforts of bashing me behind my back. It's pretty amusing. Bless your souls, guys.

Thank you to those people who suddenly message me to ask me about that issue. I HAD NO IDEA and I only knew about those backstabbings from those guys! LOL, now we see the real colors of the people we pass by, and those who truly cares even if they rarely interact with you. I'm going to treasure these people rather than care about those small-minded backstabbers :)) God will take care of them. Not just for me, but because they haven't been good children of His.

I really love fireworks

:') So high quality!!
I was just unsatisfied that the actual fireworks sounds are omitted from the video. I like the natural sounds of fireworks because they sound like destruction and yet they bring beautiful, magnificent things :D WAAAAAH I REALLY LOVE FIREWORKS!!

"The contradiction of his ideals and his professions uttered to destroy him in the end, and realizing that was too late."

I created those words, not for me, but to analyze a character from a story. While I was typing that, it was like my every single type on the keyboard kept pressing an arrow deeper and deeper into me, making me fear that I might end up like that, if I lose my way. I don't think I would.

If I work on my profession just like how others do it, that line on the header really will happen to me, but if I stick on my "agenda" of what I'm going to do and actually achieve them, I will be on the right track.

So I just have to be cautious and not lose my way. I'll definitely live through my ideals and make things better for this world, even if I cannot make this world better.

Hello to those users who view my blog from "webchat.freenode.net". I never knew of that site before, but really, thank you for viewing my blog :)

I just found out that I'm 6 blogs near to my 100th post! I wonder what my 100th post will be :)

Don't stress yourself out of the things you can't control or change.

Probably the proper translation of "Hakuna Matata"

Right after my post about my heart-wrenching desire, I found this picture below:

Easy to say, but what if whatever it is you want can't be obtained so easily? In this harsh reality, I NEED MONEY. Not everyone is too lucky to win the lottery, but dang, I wish I would.
(I believe I'm always lucky, but not with lottery. My mom and I tried, we could've won a lot of times, but under some circumstances, mostly my childish fault,we weren't able to bet our supposedly winning tickets to the lottery outlet.)

What if what I have always wanted is to be in Europe? -_- I can't go there right now. I'll have to wait for a few more years (hopefully less than 5!) before being able to do so.

Suddenly, I want to go to Alabang. Internet, blog, and just sit in the middle of the 'underpass/walkway' going to Festival Mall, while looking at the greeny river before the Entrada building (if I remember correctly) and just feel the vibe of being IN THERE.

But that's not allowed to do, and I will be pretty much disturbed by the people walking around me. If I can just be alone in there, with nobody else passing by, that'd be great.

Plus, I'm so annoyed that I'm not where I want to be at the very exact moment. I believe I'm not the only one who feels this way, but my heart and eagerness to be there is too strong that my chest tightens and I cannot breathe! All I want to do in my life is to travel..AROUND THE WORLD. Glorify the wonders of nature, and the exceptional works of men (particularly in architecture). It's so annoying that I first need to work like a slave in order to be rich before being able to grasp such an already-heart-wrenching-desire. I desire it the most but I'm aware I can't do accomplish it any sooner.
