Slater's pins have no points.

This serves as a reminder that I should stop posting such soppy epistles on my blog, and start writing properly. Come to think of it, I haven't written properly since...hmmmm. CreW? Yeah, CreW.

The Econ article doesn't count. My main topic seems to be combatting LDMU in friendships, which was not my first choice. Really want to talk about the OC of taking science courses or of shifting out of them. Seems like something that would take quite a bit of research, though. Research that I'm willing to do. Most of the notable school's alumni/alumnae that I know of are from humanities fields. Or perhaps it's just scientists are not oft-celebrate in this country. One of those things.

Also. I am sort of pleased. I get to debate after.....heaven knows how long. However, I've got to start learning about pi-mesons and gauge bosons and the like. Not something I read about in my free time, but meh. Everything helps.

Come to think of it, though. Does UP have a Soc Sci club? It might be a better idea to join it as opposed to UPDS. Less biased, too. And less party-centered. A blog entry about UP vs Ateneo some other time, but as of this moment, UP wins.

Since this post seems to be evolving into a hodge podge of everything anyways, yay, I got lent a book! The sequel to Freakonomics. (I haven't even read the first, but it's not like it's a fantasy series or anything.) It's the first book I'm to read in a while that's not required reading. (Even if this year's required reading is generally likable. Even more likable than A Separate Peace and Illustrado. Except for the King Arthur one. Creepy stuff, that is. Don't know if they're misogynists or just a tad insane.)  Last thing I read of my own accord was ..Anna Karenina? I liked it. Wondering if I'll like Android Karenina.

Anyway, yes! Superfreakonomics. I like Econ the subject. Perhaps not the Math part, but I do like the discussions. I suppose it's good I got into courses that have discussions on this sort of thing. Though I don't think I'll ever be shifting to Econ. BAA, maybe? Still checking out my options.

Also, could somebody please explain to me how this goes? Wondering.

This post makes no sense anymore.

Just a reminder from God. :)

On this day, God wants you to know...

... that you are not to shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find and keep.

The quickest way to find love is to give love. If you want it too badly, you will not find it. The most secure way to keep love is to give it space and care to grow. If you hold it too tightly, you will lose it.

(This is the palanca I never properly wrote for you.)

I really do have to admit; you are definitely just another kind of category in my book. A different sort of friend. A different sort of colleague. A different sort of person. 

Best friend? Though we may jokingly call each other in that context, you & I both know that that spot is inhabited by someone I find infinitely amazing (& that's not you).

Close friend? Acquaintance? Buddy? Pal? (I can imagine you laughing at these analogies, but no, none of those are it.)

Come to think of it, I still have to find a word for what you are to me, but despite my constant annoyance at, teasing of & mocking of you, you should know you've been an important part of my life. 

You've helped me become myself beyond myself-- to look beyond just writer & dreamer & actor me to a leader, a role I haven't utilized in this school. You help me up when I'm vulnerable. Like. When I feel close to losing it & so vulnerable around the person I love best (not you), it sort of helps to know you're there & we both care about each other, but in a shallow and amusing way.

You're probably the biggest serious joke in my life, so I hope you know that I thank you, somehow.

After these two months, we may not talk too much, but I think that's the joy of our friendship. We manage to get back to where we let off. 

I'll get back to you some other time, then.

happy happy

joy joy!

Mmmmm.

After a giant caramel sundae (courtesy of my awesome dad who went out to buy ice cream by the gallon from a grocery for my mother and then ice cream from McDonald's for me--hmm, I should that for my best friend eventually), I think I shall survive the night.

*Rewrite Bio notes.
*Practice Math.
*Wake up at 6.

Four more tests!

P.S. Why I was reading the wrong chapter for my Social Science long test last night.

As a side note, advice I shouldn't forget. :)

Ate xxxx! Haha, I just want to say you're so pretty and awesome, and I look up to you as an Ate. :) I wanna be like you--you're so accomplished. :-j

OH WOW. Kiligs hehehe, thank you. :”> Good to know what I do inspires people in some small way. :) Whatever you wanna do in life, go for it!!

Book List.

1.) Lolita-I have wanted this book for ages.....but I can't find it. And when I do find it, I find that it is something my relatives won't buy me. My curiosity is not satiated. At the very least, I want to read anything by Nabokov.

2.) Any book by David Sedaris except for "Me Talk Pretty One Day". My gosh, he's amazing. So witty. One of the few authors whose books I can read over, and over, and over again.

3.) War and Peace- Taking a shot at more Tolstoy after Anna Karenina.

4.) Lost in Time- Call it a guilty pleasure.

...Cravings.

You know what? After this incredibly....eventful year, I think I deserve to eat whatever I want this Christmas break. Food. Proper food.
