Okay, so a lot has happened since I've last blogged. Where to start? Or should I even write the account?
It's rare to find myself at loss for words when I start typing a new post. Honestly, I sort of forced myself to post because I quickly clicked the 'New Post' option without thought, not knowing what exactly to talk about.
I could talk about my stories and how they are coming to. But I'll just rant about not having to have the right inspiration to continue Blindfold and I'm going to fill this post like it's my summary notebook for Mirror Image.
I could talk about my books. But I've read so much.
I could talk about my plans. But my mind is still clouding with school work and apprehension for the week to come.
So, you see, I cannot think of anything specific to talk about.
But, in return, I don't want to leave this supposedly FIRST POST OF THE YEAR post like it's nothing.
(Epiphany)
FIRST POST OF THE YEAR! HOORAH!
still. My brain has been squeezed out of its creative juices to talk about New Year shit like Resolutions -- which I happily wrote down in my 2010 Life Planner. I kindasortamaybe regret having to buy that planner. I should have bought a smaller one or something more awesome and uncommon to the people. After all, almost everything I own people don't have. Lolness.
I'm actually writing a Letter to my Future Self. I discovered that from NC as always and I decided to have a go. I'm stuck, though, because I have no idea what to tell or ask myself. It's not exactly a time capsule because I'm planning to receive it two years from now (Hopefully I'll be able to forget it by then.) which is a much shorter time span than the minimum for a time capsule. At least to me it's the minimum. I could ask questions, but what good would that do? I could talk about childhood but that's weird -- receiving a lecture 2 years time. I don't know, but I'll figure something out.
I still plan to get an iPod. I wasn't able to get one this Christmas. I received a cool organizer tote bag which I dubbed as my new office supply kit and 3K. I'm spending the 3K on books. I don't hell know if it's wise or not, but I'm certainly enjoying having to read a lot. I still want to go to Bonifacio High Streets Fully Booked because, seriously, if I received 3K for books, why not start spending them in Book Heaven? Too bad I've already started spending. I still have more left, though! I really REALLY need to go there some day. @.@ And that day should be soon.
It's amazing how I started writing nothing into actually writing something in the end. And when I said I wouldn't write about what's happening in my life lately, I guess I lied. I don't really have a choice. a blog is an online diary, and what else do you write in a diary if not your daily musings and shit?
Ah well, I guess I needed to force it out of me.
I'll have to end there. Sorry to keep this post short, whoever you are. XD
2 more days 'till Christmas, and I cannot wait to get my hands on all the books I've been wanting to read. I've already finished Seeing Red, and, though Arch Enemy is already available, I don't want to waste a thousand on that hard bound. I'll just have to wait for the soft cover.
I can't believe I'll spend P5000 on the books I've been pining to buy. I haven't even done anything school-related, such as finish reading Blighted, my book for the book report. I should really start now, but I'm afraid I'll forget everything I've read so far of King of Wales. I don't even know what our homeworks are.
Well, I'm aware of the book report. I also need to watch Hotel Rwanda, but it's "optional". Ah well, I want to get it done.
There's also that Health presentation we'll be having next year about drugs. We haven't made the script, but we know the flow. Crap.
There's that Music thing, although I'm not sure if it's optional. idk where I'm going to watch a concert. >.<
There's also the feature article I should write, but I don't have my sheet!
That's what I need to get done, so far. I've forgotten the rest.
NOW. I've bought my journal. I wish I hadn't, because it was too famous, and I didn't want to flaunt it because I'm sure others would have the same thing. Possibly. So I decided to create a cover. I'll wrap it in plastic cover, then paste my photos--
No wait, brainblast. (Oh no, did I just make a Jimmy Neutron reference back there?) I'll buy those covers like the one in my school notebook. And then inside, I'll bombard the pages with pictures of icons, deppy, torchwood, south park, et cetera. It'll be my journal, authentically.
I'm almost done with the Deppy Christmas picture. I just need to get Dani and Isa done. But gods, I hate that feeling of laziness after I'd done so much photoshopping. Anyways, I got one more day before Christmas, although we'll be going out tomorrow...
I also need to send my report to sir Decs to give him a heads up of what's missing for our magazine WHICH WILL PUSH THROUGH NO MATTER WHAT. So I need to fix the pages ASAP. Which means I need to make more Timmy Jr.s... oh no. More photoshopping.
And SIGH. Glee is AMAZING. Although I'll be missing it... I have to wait 4 more months to watch the next season. The last episode was simply amazing.
And I'm definitely making progress in my Torchwood story. i can't believe how I've never felt this way during Blindfold. Maybe it's because Torchwood has given me SO MUCH information, and JackxIanto is a much-loved canon unlike CraigxTweek. But I simply cannot abandon my South park story. I feel as if it's about to reach the climax. I need to get it done!
...But I need more ideas. >.<
Which reminds me, I haven't even done my Christmas gifts to the "special" people yet. With Team Deppy, I need to make their shorts. CRAP. For Ysa, I need to write those inspiring lines to make your day, and I need to buy a gummy bear bottle! For Monse, I need to get her that Spiderman thing. For Churkey... crap, what the hell am I going to get Churkey? What am I going to get the others? ARGH, I can't believe I need to buy so much. Maybe for the others, I could get them keychains or... god forbbid, a photoshopped drawing of them but GOD I don't think I could take anymore of that. @.@ Unless it would really be special, like Reg would have skittles and stuff...
ACK. Why is this so hard? Maybe it's because I keep considering what they might think of me if I gave them something so simple and lame. I should stop thinking about that. Just. STOP. God. I'll get them anything. Anything. And I won't think of what they will think. YES. GO ME. WHOOO. :))
Anyways, I'm looking forward to getting what I want this Christmas.
My dad said the iPod in Singapore costs more than what they sell it here for. I then was asked if that was what I really wanted for Christmas. I pondered long and hard. I know, I had over 2000 songs and a heck of a lot of videos in my computer. But then I realized that I don't necessarily have to get an iPod to listen to music. I still have my mp3, though it only held about 50 songs, depending how big they were. Plus, I feared the build-up of wax and the possibility of my growing deaf in the near future.
So I instead asked for Book Allowance. My dad agreed to give me P5000. Oh my god.
I can finally buy the books I wanted in Powerbooks Live!, Fully Booked and even in National Bookstore. God, I'm in love.
Exams are coming up, and after that, Christmas Break! I'm excited, but there are lots of school-related things I need to accomplish. Fuck.
I'm also working on a new project. I know, I know. I'm totally abandoning Blindfold. No inspiration! It sucks, really. I need to think about it more, but idea for Mirror Image keep flooding in!
Mirror Image... I've always wanted to use that idea. Thank god for Torchwood. So far, so good. Reviews keep coming in. I plan to write as many chapters as I can. That's how awesome writing about Ianto is! That loveable teaboy. Plus, it's AU. Haha.
Anyways, that's it so far.
Let me fill you in with what I've been doing since I've last updated.
We won 2nd place for the Finals in English Fest, and I'm quite disappointed, although I know we deserved it. We've only practiced for, like, one day and that was the day before the English Fest. Oh well. Other rooms just won't get off our backs and told on us because we practiced on a Saturday which was not allowed. They claim it was about morals and shit, but what I'd like to tell them is how hypocritical they are to say so. Morals my ass. They're the ones who don't have morals. We're all irritated, annoyed, hurt. Ah well. Consequences.
I watched Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street onstage a while ago! It was purely awesome. I loved the cast, especially the ones who played Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett. It was amazing. I bought the playbill, and I can't wait to watch the next line of plays in 2010 to be shown onstage in Greenbelt. I also cannot wait for RENT and CATS.
I've also received news that The Killers are coming here to have a concert in January 31! Except it disheartened me to know that it would take place in SM Mall of Asia. CROWDED. HOT. Sad face here.
My dad came back last night, and he hasn't given me an iPod. I'm stuck with dreaming that he would surprise me and give it to me on Christmas. I haven't bought the book yet, for the Project. I've written the prologue and started with Chapter one, but I'm not planning on writing it fully right now.
I'm reading so much Torchwood fanfictions! Sigh, it's only on stories that Janto lives forever. I also need to start watching Doctor Who so I could really connect things with Torchwood.
That's it, so far. I can't believe there are 2 more weeks before Christmas break, and I haven't bought anything for my classmates and Deppy. SIGH. I haven't even finished the Christmas Surprise. Dear god. I'm such a procrastinator and crammer. Hate it.
I went to book heaven a while ago. (No, I did not go to FullyBooked Bonifacio High Streets, one that I had dubbed heaven on earth.) I went to Powerbooks Live! in Greenbelt after watching A Christmas Carol. I found so many books I wanted to buy, but was too shy to tell my parents.
Here, I will list down all the books I have seen a while ago, including books I want:
