Day 31 - Your Thoughts On This Past Year and Hope...
2010
Oh, 2010. Looking back, you were actually pretty amazing. Big things happened this year. I finally became a Global Studies major, put together four rockin’ DiverseCity Tours (1,2,3,4), ate for the first time at both Guppy Teahouse and Boiling Crab, danced on benches in an amazing SPCN, seen Students First take a majority for a third year in a row, traveled to China to study abroad,...

Day 30 - Something You Would Do If No One Stopped...
Mm, develop a potion that can make me freeze time, teleport, and move things with my mind, without any bad after-effects!
Wouldn’t that be awesome? If I needed time to relax, I could just get everyone around me to be frozen while I have all the time in the world to think. No having to drive to campus because I could just teleport there. Not have to get off my bed to get something across...

Day 29 - Something That Inspires You
Books like “The Alchemist” and “Veronica Decides to Die” by Paulo Coelho and “Life of Pi” by Yann Martel.
Where would we be?
All these decisions that we’ve made. All these things that we chose to say and chose to keep secret. Where would we be if things were different? If our lives crossed more? If we both made more of an effort? Where would we be?

Day 27 - Something That You Miss And Something...
Something I Miss:
Not having to worry about much during summer and winter vacation. Ever since college, it’s always fussing about what needs to be done next and then your break turns out not to really be a break. Now that Winter Quarter is starting again, I’m looking forward to summer. Okay, so there are a lot more things to look forward to ( like SPCN and its parties, Spring Break,...
Surprise me.
Please?

Day 26 - 10 Films You Think Everyone Should Watch...
1. Alice (2009)
So this was a two-part miniseries on Syfy that is pretty much a movie since it’s three hours long altogether. It’s an adaptation of the Alice in Wonderland story with a science fiction feel to it that has a really interesting story and characters. Definitely need to see it at least once because it’s just so intriguing! If you want the DVD, it’s under...

Day 25 - Guilty Food, Music and Movie/TV Pleasure
Uh, I don’t have much “guilty” things because that implies that there should be some kind of feeling of shame associated with that, and you shouldn’t be ashamed to like what you like. Well, most of the time.
Guilty Pleasure Food: Fast food in general? I can suck up McDonald’s fries in minutes. If it’s good, then I’m down to eat it.
Guilty Pleasure Music:...

Day 24 - What You Are Excited About For This...
Since I ended up missing all these posts because of events leading up to Christmas, I’m making up for them now. Pretty much every Christmas, I’m just excited for family to come over on the 24th and all the food that leads up to opening presents at midnight. Then, staying up late and sleeping in for much of Christmas day.
Ahh, but now that Christmas has passed, all I can think about is...

First think waking up on the day before Christmas.
Dad: AC, are you awake?
Me: *looks at the clock and sees that it's 2:00 PM*
Dad: You look drunk.
Me: Whatt? No.
Dad: What time did you come home? Late na, huh?
Me: Around 4:30-ish.
Dad: Did you drink?
Me: Yeah.
Dad: Oh, so you're drunk. You look drunk.
Me: I was sober when I left!
Dad: So you are having a hangover then.
Me: Noo! *gets out of bed*
Mom: *walks in* You look different.
Thoughts while it was happening: This is so not happening right now. -_-;
Been coming home hella late for two nights now.
All for a Mr. Justin Sabino, haha. Okay. Sleep.
This Christmas feels like the very first Christmas...
Tell me why this song is stuck in my head…

Day 22 - The Reason You Started Using Tumblr and...
The Reason I Started Tumblr:
I started writing in my Xanga on October 29, 2003, back in freshman year of high school. The way I started writing at first was simple. I documented EVERYTHING about my day. What I did, who I talked to. I also used hella smiley faces and emoticons. Anyway, though there were some dry patches, I wrote in it continuously until around the end of my second year at UCLA....

Day 21 - Your Greatest Phobia and Your Most...
Most Irrational Phobias:
1. Spiders (and bugs in general) - Of course. I caaan’t deal with this. I can’t even kill them, so if I ever do see one inside the house, I have to freak out as I try to catch it in a cup to let it go outside. Something so small and creepy should not have so many legs exist.
2. Elevators - Every time I go into one, I feel just a little cautious. This one...
It was only just a dream.
I feel kind of shaken right now. Dreams feel way too real. And it sucks to see one that started out perfect transform into a nightmare. Am I glad to have woken up from it? Somewhat debatable.
But dang, we were perfect. I don’t even remember what you looked like anymore because it got lost in the memory of where this nightmare started. We were going outside of a building with some friends...

Day 19 - The First Wedding/Funeral You’ve Been To
Not sure I remember either one actually. I don’t like talking about either really since the last weddings I’ve been to were in my awkward preteen years where I didn’t care about that junk and I just don’t like talking about funerals in general. I thought I could just supplement this with my perfect wedding and funeral, but I realized that my perfect wedding would be a...

Day 17 - A Hobby Of Yours That Not Many People...
Back in middle school, I used to play around with photoshop and MS Paint.
Yeah, I think I had dreams of becoming a graphic designer and using that as a vehicle to be creative and have fun. One of the things that I did was develop a template of a blue duck (or penguin) and transform it into random characters. Why a duck? I’m not quite sure exactly. It was middle school. I can’t really...

Day 16 - Your Best Friends
I tend to stray away from using the term “best friend” now since it seems like it becomes a curse and every time I consider someone as my best friend, we eventually end up drifting apart. I do have people in my life who I think are amazing friends that I would never get tired of hanging out with and who I can talk to about practically everything with. You all know who you are.

Day 15 - Write 15 Interesting Facts About Yourself
I have scars on my face, arm, waist, and leg from when I got bit by a dog in the Philippines.
I was in Boy Scouts for around three weeks, but never ended up going through with it.
When I was younger, I used to be obsessed with Australia and learning about Australian animals.
I have been to fifteen different US states.
I collect lapel pins from different places I go to and I display them on a...

Day 14 - Your Day In Great Detail
I woke up around 9:30 AM, but figured that was still too early for me to really be up. I had a weird dream and I wanted to go back to sleep to see if I could build on to the story, but I totally forgot what it was all about now. After going back to sleep, I woke up at 10:30 AM and decided that I would check up what’s going on at my usual sites — tumblr, Facebook, and gmail.
