Last day as sixteen.

Ah, in just a few hours, my life as a sweet sixteen will be over. I wonder how it'll be being seventeen, starting college, seeing new things, and experiencing heavier challenges. Oh crap, I wonder, I wonder.

As of today, I finally got my two ears' last piercings. Having two (read about the third piercing or fourth) in each ear kind of looked a little too light, and it was getting common, so I decided to add one more on each ear. I went to school at ten o'clock, and waited for Kerrvy and the rest of the pack to arrive. We had this thanksgiving party dedicated to our teachers, plus we got to eat too. Damn, I was full. I and Trixia had been planning to get the tip of our left ear pierced for sometime now, so today we finally got them pierced after we had eaten lunch that were served in that little thanksgiving party. I have to say, the lasagna was very delicious!

Foooood! :3

Eating, yes.

You can see some teachers in the background.

Angelica eating, haha :))

Before our practice for graduation, we decided to go to G-Mings to get our ears pierced.

So yeah, (1) got my right ear pierced in the middle, and (2) my left ear pierced in the tip. I've wanted it since January last year.  But since Unisilver don't allow the tip of the ears to get pierced, I pierced the lower parts of my ears first. Anyway, the left stings while the right doesn't. I suppose because the tip is the harder part (where its said to have "bones"), it hurts more than the lower parts which is only flesh or something.

Anyway, this will probably be my last picture as a sixteen-ager. :))

Loveliest weekend.

Lately, I haven't been so happy about going to school. I like staying at home nowadays, playing on my PS3, reading, drawing, etc. Let's just say the time plus the joy I have for myself has dramatically increased. Well, meh, let's just push the fact out: I'M ADDICTED TO SKYRIM.

Anyway, what have I been up to this weekend? Last Saturday, we went to the city again, for the third time in a single week. Oh wow, now that's more than I actually expected. The main reason why we went was because I had an appointment with the dentist, having the usual check up every two weeks (must be weird because my last check up was last December). Well, it would have been a waste going all the way to the dentist, and then going home right after, right? So, then it was SM all over again.

When I went in my room to change after taking a quick shower, I saw my cat Twinkle Toes snuggled up in my blanket. It  was quite cute. :)

But of course, when he's asleep, he's usually not as aggressive. I took him in my arms and he continued sleeping. How adorable. :3

My sister and I actually love reading. She was reading Nicholas Sparks's book named A Walk to Remember. Believe me, until then, I thought Nicholas Sparks was a woman. :))

Then we picked up Kervey from his Norwegian lessons. Yeah, he's learning the language. :)

My mom started to take pictures of us. Oh well, she's actually young at heart. :))

Macaroons! I have actually been looking for these for quite a long time now. We bought this in a small cafe in SM, Northwing (2nd floor). Damn. It's actually quite expensive. Just one macaroon costs P40! :o

French Lavender, the first macaroon I've ever tasted! I have to say, I expected it to be more delicious. I actually don't understand if I like it or not. :/

Then of course, I bought this shirt. I actually liked it, and how it looked on me. :3

From reading different books that I have written by Anne Rice, I've finally reached this. I haven't read all her books in The Vampire Chronicles yet, but I still plan to. Out of ten books, I still have five to go (including The Vampire Armand).

Well, I still have a problem with posting everyday posts mostly because the internet is as gay as fuck. I tried to blog yesterday, and this has been a draft for two days, but no. All this caused me to click the x on the upper right corner of the screen. :))

Anyway, yesterday we went to GTabs to get my hair done. I know I wrote something about a wild haircut, but I didn't actually get it as wild as I wanted to. But, guess what? I got a freaking wild new hair color! Yeah, I got my hair dyed into blue black. Well, something new I suppose? I like it so far. :)

On the way home. Here's my sister's boyfriend (who also got his hair cut, A LOT) and my sister (who also got a haircut, but isn't so noticeable).

Me and my mom. :))

So, here's a before and after picture to give you the idea. :)

The edge is gone.

All I can say is, I look like a girl right out of a commercial. Too jolly, too perky, too bouncy, and too girly. I've completely lost the edginess of my looks just because I got my hair straightened yesterday. Well, it's not that because the hairstylist did it wrong or something, he actually made my hair look healthier. The problem is, the hair doesn't suit me (or as I see it), and it's not edgy enough.

Here was my hair before. Natural, wavy, and already has a lot of volume in it.

And well, I don't want to lie and be all, "Yz, ommi goood, i luv my nw hur!" Fuck that. It is straight, but just way too flat. Now I see my face and body two times bigger than it really is! I mean. Yes, I am complaining. I do like the shine and all that, but with this straight hair, I need a wild haircut that I can never have with wavy hair.

Just... dead straight, stick straight. :/

Now, what do I actually plan on doing with my hair? My mom and I have already planned to go back to the salon this Saturday or Sunday, to get a haircut. Now, I don't care what my mom says at all, even if she's going to hate me for the rest of her life (and don't take it too seriously), but I do want a wild, crazy haircut. I have already had a wild hair texture, that big, wavy one, and why can I not have a wild, straight, crazy haircut? I am going to take advantage of this straightened hair, but in a way that I like what I see. I don't care what you see, because I'm not living to make you see what you want to see from me. Get it? K. :))

Thank you, pain.

DAMN! I don't know how it happened, but I lost all the pictures I took today. I was copying all the pictures, and when it was done, I renamed the folder name (like I ALWAYS do), and guess what? When I opened the folder, there was nothing inside. I immediately took a look back on my phone's memory, and there were absolutely no pictures. Shit, just shit. Guess what that means? Yup, no pictures for an everyday post today. Well, I am definitely not recommending you Nokia N8 because it always freezes, and it gets slow, and there's just a lot of things you have to complain about that goddamn phone, to be honest.

Well, even though this post will include no images to summarize my day, I still hope you have the interest to read, because I had an indescribable day. You all know about the J.S Promenade, right? Well, we still haven't gotten our partners yet, but last week, my mom gave me a thousand pesos to pay for the J.S prom (and I would return to her the change). The bad thing was that the little teachers were the ones who took over the teachers' position last week, so I didn't get the chance to pay. So I hid the one thousand bill under my I.D (at least it's a safe place since I'm wearing my I.D all the time in school). Over the weekend I didn't take it out so it was there all the time. Guess what? Early this morning, when I looked at the back of my I.D, the bill was gone. And fucking bullshit! I don't know how that happened, but I suppose someone stole it. I only have two ideas;

Saturday: I had some friends over, and of course, we are always in my room. Someone could have seen my I.D, and the freaking bill behind it. So, it could be, but I can't accuse anyone.

Sunday: We have visitors over yesterday because it was Sinulog here in our town. Now, three kids were running in and out my room like wild gorillas, and one of them could have spotted the bill. But I'm doubting on this because they're still kids and they were more interested in mascaras and lipsticks.

So, I carry no knowledge whatsoever. I am only guessing, and I won't point at someone without evidence. So because of this, I had a pretty rough morning. I burst out in tears when I told mom the thousand peso bill was gone. She went in and gave me a five hundred peso bill (the payment for the J.S prom is four hundred pesos). She got a little pissed, of course.

Anyway, lately I've been having the LSS of the song Thank You, Pain by The Agonist. I sent my sister a text message earlier and asked her if she could message me the lyrics of the song, and she did! (♥) Of course, I started singing the part where Alyssa does sing. I mean, if there's one thing I don't know, then it's to scream/growl.

"Through senses, what can we explain? Not joy, not guilt, not pain. Is love the same? This senseless argument in vain erodes my sense of shame. Who's to blame?


Thank you, pain. God bless suffering. Thank you, pain."

I have to say though, the title of the song somewhat matches well with my day. If there's one thing I don't do to someone I share mutual feelings with (when the guy's known to be a playboy), then it's to show emotion. Yeah, I'm still stuck with the "The First" situation, and he's a total ass. If there's one thing he doesn't have, then it's respect. He does know that I still have feelings for him, but there he is flirting heavily with girls right in front of me. Well, I don't know if it's him not caring about me or him trying to make me jealous. But fuck that, I'm done. Oh, yes, I do get ashamed for the fact that he does that in front of me, but I don't really get jealous. No, I get ashamed for the fact that he thinks I get jealous, so I always try to act like I see nothing and just smile (just to show that I don't want my feelings to be the reason of pain). If there's one thing I hate being, then it's being sad. I have other things to worry about than some dude trying to catch my attention like that. I love ignoring him, and how he just tries to be the one to get my attention in the end.

I am going to be completely honest, even though I hate admitting it, I did get hurt by all the things "The First" did, and how he just disrespects my total being but still tries to show so much affection. But doesn't getting hurt considered to be a beautiful thing? I mean not the part that people over exaggerate and start emoting and dramatizing and whining and all that, I mean the part you fall, get up, and become a stronger person. Well, all I can say is...

Thank you, pain. I've shed no tears, but I've had the fears.

Nooo, I would never take a picture of myself crying in real. HAHA :)) I just love how this all works together. If I don't show so much sad emotions in real/person, then why not in images?

Circles.

Ah, finally an everyday post. So, we went to the city today mostly because I had an appointment with the dentist. Well, yeah, it's getting better, but I still have no idea how to explain my case in words. So, well, I'll get to that later on (and I mean ten years after, haha). Yesterday though, I was nauseated for the whole day, so I had a great day looking at the toilet bowl for hours, but sadly, nothing happened and I didn't vomit even once. Well, I basically had my mom's care so I was fine before the night came. For the whole night I kept getting up because of a horrible stomach ache and again, the feeling of nausea.

But this morning I woke up with a good feeling although I can say I didn't feel that great. I would get up and get dizzy. I probably lack sunlight. HAHA

So while I was changing clothes, my sister sent me a text message saying, "Sofus is purring! I'm in the living room."

And if there's one thing my cat rarely does, then it's purring.

I still kinda felt a little nauseated. But, whatever. I'm tough, I can handle small things. (HAHA, duh.)

At the dentist!

Meow. :3

Ate at McDonald's today. I kinda felt like eating cheese burger and chicken nuggets. We barely eat there anyway, so why not? :D

Basically my mom started yelling at me because she hates my hair, so I had to make a braid out of it. Sure, okay.

In the dressing room in the shop Oxygen. My sister was actually just in her underwear when I took this pic. HAHA

Waiting for our dad.

LA LA LAAA :)

OHOH, look at that serious face! Although serious, I find myself attractive looking like that! ♥

And I could almost make love to myself. HAHA

While waiting, I actually started to have fun taking pictures of the tiles. o.o

So as soon as I came home, I decided to draw this on paint (HEHE) for my previous post, Day 289. I have been drawing last night. I got inspired actually. I was watching Spiderman when I thought of this. :)

I bought earrings for Kerrvy and the rest of the pack from Forever 21. There was a pair too many, so I decided to have it as my own. And of course, I took the black pair and changed the earrings of my second piercing.

Looks good, huh? CIRCLES!

And I got a Christmas gift from my sister today too. She bought me this lovely cameo necklace. It's also from Forever 21.

And as usual, I get carried away taking pictures of myself looking like a complete idiot.

I also bought scrap booking materials for our project in TLE. We are supposed to make five different menus, and I see creativity as a part of all this.

Oh well, at least I got to do something today. It's a total bore sitting at home with nothing to do. So, well, I'll see if my cousin Kervey is still in the mood in taking pictures. :)

Here we go again.

During sophomore year, me, Kerrvy, Shelamay, Ian and Julie created a group called Shelannianmarleine. But since junior year, our group was separated into sections, so we never had the chance to really go out together as that one group. Now we do, but sadly Julie won't be there. So it's only the four of us today. We're going to the city. :))

I still remember on January 21, when me, Shelamay and Kerrvy went to the city.

Outfit of today. Decided not to overdo anything. :))

But I've been fancying black socks lately. HAHA

Yeah, I still need to do my hair. :))

But I better run off. It's two minutes before twelve o'clock, and yeah. I'll blog about my day later as usual. :)

Reborn.

If there's one thing I worry about right now, then it's my poem in English. I'm clumsy, and I totally misplaced my poem! Damn. Anyway, I had a very random day. We didn't have classes today because of the family day yesterday. Although I was at home, had no one around me in my room, I still had a pretty awesome day. Number one reason for that is because of what I wrote "man in my hands" some posts away, and number two is because I decided to have fun... for once. Basically I just finished with my project in CLE (plus I was the one who made Kerrvy's). I have no idea if it's what our teacher is looking for, but whatever. I did what I did best. So, I've finished my story about my birth, kinda felt like I was reborn for a moment. :))

Ah, freshness!

Cooked myself food. :)

Started dancing as I waited for the pasta to cook.

While waiting, I went to the living room

and played a little piano.

YUM, sweet and spicy babyyy!

Here comes the great part: Dressing up. Hey, come on, I'm a girl but not girly. I'm not a tomboy but I won't deny that I am tomboyish. Well, it's not that I hate skirts or dresses, it's just that I'm not used to them anymore and I don't know how to wear them. As written on this post, I've already bought a dress for our Christmas party since we are required to wear a dress (and has to be semi-formal).

Lace dress!

I took my key chain and put on my necklace. Matches well with the dress!

Then I took my army pants. Gosh, this outfit looks so much sexier than the dress outfit. I wish I could wear this during the Christmas party. :(

And with those shoes, I look like I really did join the army. Hey, I'm general Christin.
