5 days 'til prom *sigh* I already have a dress and shoes, but I only tried it on once and not sure if too lazy or.. yeah, I'm just too lazy. I've looked up a few ideas up online but I'm still completely unsure about how I want to go with my hair and, well, face. I have zero self-confidence when wearing a dress (specially an ultra formal one) plus make-up. I've been thinking about it for days and I guess it's not too late to back out? I definitely would... If it wasn't for my promdate. I really like him and of course I'd love to see him in a tux. If only he didn't have to see me in a dress. Ugh. I really feel like I'm going to end up looking sloppy. But, hey check out this invitation one of my batchmates prepared! Everyone's still choosing an invitation design, but I really, really like this one:

Also, all prom-related things aside, I've been practicing my typography skillz for a while now and I feel great about it. I now have this special relationship with calligraphy (or type) pens and blank unlined papers. Amazing. Still can't draw for poop though.

Aside from prom and typography and, well, schoolwork, a great amount of my weekend and free time is taken by our english project. A Shakespearean movie. We're filming A Midsummer Night's Dream and I helped with the script and am also playing as a minor character. I was pretty excited about this because 1. I'm a blooming Shakespearean enthusiast, 2. I am very fond of turning Shakespeare's words into visual art (literally. Will upload some snaps soon), and 3. A chance to regain my honor.. er.. redeem myself (we failed the last time we were given the task to create a newscast about Beowulf, etc.).

idk about you, but this shot of Demetrius, Helena, Hermia, and Lysander looks great!

So, yeah, that's life right now. I wish I could tell you more exciting news, but alas, life at the moment is but fun (did I use too many buts?). What about you, fellow bloggers/readers/blog stalkers? I wanna hear about your life as well! Link me up to your blog or a specific blog post or just tell me anything down at the comments below and I'll be back soon! =)

P.S.
All Time Low returns to the Philippine shores this 12th of August 2015! =) *aggresively tries to find every piece of money I can* Pulp Royalty and VIP tickets sold out within 18 minutes =(((((( but I ain't losing hope! I. AM. GOING.

'Til then!

Huge thanks to Sarah from A Glimpse of Blue for tagging me! =)

1.   Songs you listen to when you're happy?
  >   Mostly All Time Low party songs like I Feel Like Dancin' and Something's Gotta Give (okay this might not be a party song), but I always find myself wading through other genres, I listen to Ed Sheeran as well and some (very) rare times, I listen to Taylor Swift.

2. Songs you listen to when you're sad?
  >   There's a special part in my heart for Endlessly (The Script), Sad Song (We The Kings), Lego House (Ed Sheeran), Amelia (Tonight Alive), Welcome to the Black Parade (My Chemical Romance) and Nothing (The Cab). A lot more bands/artists alike.

3. What was the last song you listened to?
  >   Say You Like Me by We The Kings. I actually made a little thing for that..

4. What's the most musically involved you have ever been?
  >   We once had this event called a Jubilee in church where we get to sing to general authorities of our church organization and I was one of the (many) singers. But this was, what, 7-ish years ago and now me singing is relatively comparable to nails on a chalkboard (no kidding).

5. Name four or more flawless albums
*aggresively restrains myself from enumerating all 1D albums or all ATL albums*
  >   Dirty Work (All Time Low)
  >   Four (One Direction)
  >   On Your Side (A Rocket to the Moon)
  >   Mayday Parade (Self-titled album)   

  >   Collide With the Sky (Pierce the Veil)
  >   Other Side (Tonight Alive)

6. What is your favourite movie soundtrack?
  >   Always had a soft spot for Hunger Games OST. But I guess it's a tie between that and TFIOS.

7. What was your last musical "phase" before you wisened up?
  >   I had this whole emo phase right before my fangirl (I don't really consider 1D as an unwise music choice) days. I used to obsess over emo bands and artists so much. Avril Lavigne was my inspiration for every. single. thing. I tried to copy her hair, the way she dressed, the heavy eye liner, everything. And I listened to bands like  Secondhand Serenade, FM Static, Boys Like Girls, and the lot. Oh don't get me wrong though, these bands are amazing too!

8. What's your "guilty pleasure" that you hate to admit liking?
  >   I could say All Time Low (being quite religious and quiet, people never really expect me to like these guys), but I've always found it hard to admit that I used to fangirl over One Direction (I still listen to them, yes, but I'm not as obsessed//dedicated to them as I was before). And I don't mean just listening to them or stalking them or saving pictures of them. I used to be an admin of a page dedicated to them, a member of the Directioners' group in my entire country, have countless (okay, not countless, but a LOT) of merch from in and out of the country, notebooks, pens, posters, albums, autopics, sling bags, pillows, you name it. I also stalked them 24/7. I spent a lot of money on my mobile data just so I could know what they were up to even if I was in school. I also wrote a huge amount of fanfictions. And being a Ziall girl, I made too many manips and was brave enough to stick 'em to my wall (they're no longer there!). Sooo, yeah. That's my guilty pleasure.

9. Song that makes you lose your sh*t at a party?
  >   First of all, I have absolutely no idea what they actually play in parties because I never really go to parties (1. hate being squished around, 2. height problems, 3. for some reason the thought scares me). But, I'll just go with Young Volcanoes by Fall Out Boy (is this even a party song???¿) and any All Time Low part song, really.

10. Song you play on your headphones when out and about?
Anything, really. Okay, maybe with the exception of the loud bands. When I'm out and about I try to keep the volume level down a bit so I can still be aware of my surroundings (this sounds really nerdy, but hey better safe than sorry, right?).

It was fun doing this and I definitely enjoyed. I hope to hear other bloggers' answers to these questions sooo.. 

Here are the blogers/blogs I'm tagging:

- Christina from Is It Really So Strange?

- Grace from Dainty Sprinkles

- Vanshi from Upwardss

'Til then! =)

((still haven't done the signature)

Let's cut it straight to the point because I am (seriously) procrastinating at life right now since I kinda have a script and a few other school stuff to work on. Okay, surprisingly, friday the 13th went extremely well for me. Not that I believe it truly holds  bad luck, but hey, I didn't believe it gave good luck as well. I actually thought of writing a poem to sum up this day, but I lack the creativity at the moment (not to mention time) and I was scared that if I try to procrastinate the day I write this, I'll start forgetting the whole thing.

This week has been really sucky. My monday was an absolute catastrophe, forgetting my house keys and all, the rest of the week didn't go well too. Thursday, the day before the 13th, I wasn't able to go to school because I literally felt like crap. I had so much to do the night before that and I pulled an all-nighter, thinking I could handle it. Yes, well, I couldn't. It was such a crappy week and I seriously had to drag myself out of bed just to go to school. A great start, sarcastically speaking.

But, hey, things started to turn around as we surprised our former adviser with a song, a cake, and chocolates. Tear-jerker moment. I had this little reunion with all my classmates last school year which was awesome. I missed them a lot.

Remember how I told you we're having prom? Yes, well, of course it's the season for promposals (prom date proposals, just in case it ain't uhh.. obvious). I am completely unsure if I'm going to tell you what happened, but yeah, a guy asked me to prom. And not just some guy. He's the guy I've been crushing on for quite a long time and wow talk about a moment of bliss. He devised this pretty plan and well, to cut things short, he ended up having the most important people in my life (in school, ofcourse) hold out letters that spell out "Will you be my prom date?" while he played the violin.

check out my 3rd grade editing skillz yo

um he gave me these

I was exploding inside. I said yes (who wouldn't??), and I'm not so comfortable sharing it here, but it made me the happiest person alive. It was literally the best ending to the crappiest week. And well, this basically explains the photo I used at the top of this post. It's just so insane and I still couldn't believe it actually happened. As cheesy at it sounds, my crush asked me to prom and heck, I don't know how to fully express how happy I am (the struggle to restrain myself from using all caps is real).

talk about aesthetics

P.S. Advanced Happy Valentine's Day, lovely internet people! =)

Nope, nope, I ain't here to make another set of false promises to stick to a blogging schedule or to write daily or to be really active. I'm here to say hi! And to apologize for yet another writing hiatus. I actually DID FINISH THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS TAG but had no internet connection during the holidays since we were way up in the North (Isabela, to be exact) and I was too ashamed to post them so late. Anyway, if you do want to see them, I would probably put them up here somewhere soon, but I'll let future me figure out how in the future.

Okay, so back to the main thing. I'm here to say that I'm still going to blog. But instead of establishing a strict schedule, I'll let myself decide when I want to write. I don't want to force myself to sit down and type (since all the things that I write at that moment turns to poo). So instead of treating blogging as a task, I'll treat it as a hobby. Not something that I HAVE to do, but something that I WANT to do (*claps for being so motivational*).

That's basically all I wanted to say, but I'm also gonna slip it in there that I'm taking typography more seriously now and actually started my pen collection a few weeks back to the beginning of 2015. Here's a little experiment I did with a 03 Sakura Micron Pigma and 0.7 Unipin;

It's a lyric from Check Yes, Juliet by We The Kings (the current song I CAN'T get out of my head). I'm planning on working with Zig pens pretty sure since brush pens look so fun! =D (((although I'm poor as dirt at the moment, sooo)))

I also found myself writing these short rambles about lotsa random things. It has become some kind of collection of short shitty one-shots. And of course, I'll be putting those up as well. Soon. Maybe. Probably, Yeah.

And before I forget, we have prom! Be not deceived though, I'm not exactly very keen to go, but it will be fun (or at least I hope so) and it's a great chance to bond with friends, so here's to a memorable one! =) Did a little thing..

That's all for now. Hear from ya soon!

 (I swear I'll work on a hand-written siggy, scan it, and use it. SOON!!)
