Today was pretty fun. I was
geeking out over some fractional operations and exponents earlier, but later
hopped over to singing just to switch things up.
I’m still finding my way around the
sounds, but 'Ode an die Freude' is actually really enjoyable. I even found myself smiling thinking back to
Idahosa’s method, mainly 'cause
that syllable parsing I got from him is doing wonders for pronunciation. ✮⋆
Is it weird that my
favorite way to wind down now is a thesaurus and some fireplace audio? Heck if
I know why I even grabbed it today. Just a gut feeling, I guess. Anyways, I
might as well stock up on words for when I play spelling with Elyza.
A
non-linear mind
I’ve always felt that studying in
a straight line just feels pretty dull. So
I started off reading the A’s, then I wander off to the category section near
the end. I was actually thinking of jumping to the fun letters V, W, X, Y, Z but
then I thought I’d just play along and ended up running after my sis and Azyle
like some kind of a zombie.
Tawa naman sila nang tawa. Parang
bagay tuloy ako maging zombie π€ hehe!
Made myself scrambled eggs with
tomatoes. Also, peanut butter toast. Ngayon, kape-kape muna na puno ng yelo
pampagana for a whole day of case analysis.

Keri
lang
It’s sunny and bright, and it’s
actually kinda fun now. Probably ‘cause it reminds me of someone who’s super
bubbly and baby-faced. O dahil lang talaga to sa electric fan na naka-number 3.
Pero seryoso. Di naman magso-snow sa Pinas kahit maglupasay pa tayo. Kaya
nag-fishball na lang ako. Nakaka-happy pa kahit hulas.
The
Observer
May mainit na kanin, tapos
isisingit 'tong isaw na may maraming sili sa suka. Napabili lang ako kanina
habang trip ko maglakad-lakad. Btw, buti na lang introvert din yung nakasabay
kong kakilala kaya walang pilitang small talk. I guess I’m more like the kind
who’d profile who I’m with instead of babbling just because.
Ang
Huling Budol
Inanalyze ko na yung 3
psychological profiles kanina pero bukas ko na lang isusulat kasi higang-higa
na ‘ko talaga. I'm too tired to translate these thoughts into actual sentences.
I even thought I was clicking page up, pero enter key na pala yung napipindot
ko nang paulit-ulit. Anyare noh?
Pero manonood lang muna ako ng isa
ha tapos tulog na talaga.
I've been feeling kinda crappy the
past few days. Could be I was just feeling a bit low, but I’m back to smiling
again. Oh, and I’ve got the energy to annoy my little sis now, hehe.
The Zen
and the Apocalypse
Without the
Apocalypse, I’d be bored
to death. Without the
Zen, the Apocalypse would be a crime scene.
I really just write ‘cause it’s
fun to see ideas mesh together. It's kinda like brainstorming and playing with
Legos at the same time. Never mind all the messy notes sitting around here, I’m
just happy I even started them.
Anyways, I really had fun singing
along to a mix of Thai, Hindi, and Mandarin tunes today.
The vibes were just better without
my little sis around since she’s like the other side of the coin; if I’m the
introvert, I swear God made her a walking energy drink. Buti na lang
nakakatulog ako ng mga sampung oras para may panlaban naman ako sa energy
niyang pang walang tulugan, HAHA! ┐( ̄∀ ̄)┌
I couldn't even look away while
shin hyun-su was playing like I was so mesmerized I completely forgot anyone
else was even here. Seryoso, nakalimutan ko na may short attention span pala
ako dahil sa performance niya ng Zigeunerweisen.
Watching Han Soojin perform felt
like I suddenly found myself in Ancient Rome, 'cause the way she plays is
literally a time machine for me.
Picture yourself dropped into the
Roman Empire out of nowhere.
You’re just walking around, trying
to make sense of everything you’re seeing because none of it exists in your
normal life. And everything was just... massive. Especially the colossal
statues of gods looking down on everyone in the streets. Nothing feels familiar
(even to me haha). The language, the customs, and you’re just bumping through
strangers, all the while feeling the suffocating heat all around.
Then, before you can even process
the view, the world blurs and you’re dropped right in the middle of the
Colosseum. (Play from 6:16) Your heart starts racing as you hang onto
the people next to you while everyone screams. The entire arena's shaking as
the crowd goes crazy for Priscus versus Verus ⚔️
I still enjoy singing "Scars
Leave Beautiful Trace" and "Spring Snow", but I’ve been
replaying "You’re Precious" over and over for a while now. I tell
myself I’ll try something new, then I’m back to it again. TBH, I don’t even
care what the lyrics mean as long as I can sing along. ♪(´▽`)
Aside from the hypnotic vibe of
the song, Maprang is actually my favorite. She has such a sweet, calm vibe,
like you’d never guess she’s actually a beast on the racetrack. I was just
shook when I found out π€
After listening to a few Mozart
piano pieces, I then went ahead and fixed myself an iced coffee. Anyways, while
I'm just sitting here nibbling garlic bread, my lil’ sis is currently facing
off against other schools in a math competition.
I actually held back from helping
her during prep, mostly because I’m intentionally teaching her empathy, or
something. Like, when she sees the people around her struggling to keep up,
she’ll be the type to take her time and help them catch up, now that she knows
what it’s like to be on the losing end.
Hyperfixations
✨
You ever sit there thinking you
have a lot to say but you’re just staring at the screen? I try to start, but I
just end up deleting it ’cause nothing feels like what I really want to say. You
know that feeling?
I’ve got so much I’m excited to
write about, like the people I find hella cool, the things about people I pick
up on, plus the violin tracks I’ve been listening to non-stop. But out of
everything I’ve been meaning to write about, my absolute favorite has to be
CsΓ‘rdΓ‘s by Vittorio Monti. Listening to it feels like going in just to see what
happens and coming away feeling like I just fell in love like it’s my first
ever.
My assessment of this kiddo? She’s
actually really clingy, but don't let that fool you because she's surprisingly
very principled for her age. I’m not even kidding when I say if you ever think
I’m the 'intellectual' one, Level 1 lang ako sa batang 'to.
You always joke about being my
nightmare, but I hope you know that even when things are scary, I’m okay
because of you. Don't ever feel like you have to put on a happy face around me,
okay? I’ll cry with you or even be your backup dancer, pero wag mo ’ko isali sa
AP review, haha.
I was actually worried my baby
sister was hurt because I ignored her this morning. Imagine her sitting next to
me showing off her Japanese-style scrambled eggs while I didn't really say a
word. Maybe my social battery was just at 0%? But then tonight she just
randomly tossed me a burger looking as happy as ever.
One’s a main character and one’s
an NPC. ** ( ◕‿◕ ) **
New Colors
It’s kinda crazy how I ended up
learning so much from people I never really expected to like at first. Maybe
it’s just because I’m finding out how cool they really are in ways I don't see in
my usual little world. I guess I was just so wrong it’s actually funny cause
it’s kind of like I’m starting to love colors I swore I’d never like.
Lakas makahawa ng energy nung
taong keri lang kahit basang-basa sa ulan. Kahit nagkatapon-tapon na yung
pagkain ang ganda pa rin ng energy niya. Pero kung ako yun, maiiyak talaga ako kase
naka-one meal a day lang ako haha!
'Favorite distraction'
I should’ve written this note days
ago: 'That one smiling face.' But I got totally sidetracked by a Spelling Bee
marathon. π€
So, I guess I’ll just drop the
rest of my story another time.
This song found its way to me all
thanks to someone I had a crush on last year. Sino’ng mag-aakalang sa friend
nung friend niya rin pala ako dadalhin ng tadhana?( ˙▿˙ )
I’ve been having so much fun
singing this since yesterday. π€( ̄▽ ̄)γ
I don’t usually look up the
meaning as long as it sounds good to me. I mean, they could be singing about a
soggy sandwich and I’d still be in love with the vibe.( ̄▽ ̄)~♡
Bukod sa Thai, naenjoy ko ring
kantahin yung Bahasa Indonesia at Arabic versions. But honestly, singing it in
Arabic felt like I was just making random throat noises at first.LMAO
