I can't believe we're already 8 months into 2014; it seemed just like yesterday we were going on about what this year could possibly have in store for us. . . but anyway, I hope you guys have been having the best 8 months evah, and that your life so far has been as awesome as a Coldplay song (goals, goals). 

So to make up for my almost abandoning this blog, I'll be making this a 3-1 blog post: 




  • July Monthly Favorites
  • Life Update (???)
  • OPM Playlist

    "You will always be too much of something for someone: too big, too loud, too soft, too edgy. If you round out your edges, you lose your edge. Apologize for mistakes. Apologize for unintentionally hurting someone-- profusely. But don't apologize for being who you are." - Danielle Laporte


    So far, August has been the most stressful month [for me] this year. That's a pretty bad introduction, but it's true. For the past few weeks, I've been studying and praying like crazy. In other words, I've been preparing for my first CET: The UPCAT. It sucked because it was scheduled on the same week as my school's "hell week" and exams so I guess... ;-( Anyway, I'm happy that it's all over and that school is back on its normal pace. Down below are my stress busters, or the ones that kept me alive this August... phew!
    (L to R) Reading Rookie Yearbook Two, Hector and The Search For Happiness, and Candy Mag: August 2014 + Receiving Stylesnapmnl's American Apparel-inspired totebag in the mail!; Post-UPCAT meal: the most delicious thang everr; Another Post-UPCAT: chilling out with my twin besties, Jeanele & Nina and; Anything 5SOS-related *heart eyes emoji*
    AND FINALLY! To celeberate the Buwan ng Wika, I've made a mini playlist, featuring one of the coolest OPM and Filipino indie artists and rock bands I could find (more like remember because I forgot to write them down). Enjoy!
