2010

Happy New Year everyone!

I can’t believe a decade has gone since the millennium began. Time truly flies, doesn’t it? I have a hard time grasping this sometimes, especially when I look at the grand scale of things. But I suppose this adds to the charm of living, and to the importance of making something significant out of your time.

2009 was…wonderful for me. I experienced stepping out of my comfort zone in pursuit of great things, and I experienced stretching myself to the limit. I also did a lot of thinking about my dreams and about life after school. Sigh, I’m really such a worrywart! But I just really want to pave the way to a good future for myself.

I hope to make 2010 an even better year for myself and for my loved ones. I want to be more sure of myself, and I want to be smarter and more sensible. I want to touch lives and gain more friends. And I hope that everyone else gets to chase after their dreams this year. Let’s start it out right! The start of every year is really lovely, because it makes you feel so…young, like you can be anything you want to be. You might think that this is a bit nonsensical coming from a 17-year-old, but I don’t really find myself all that young anymore. There is so much responsibility for me to carry, and I’m not the unshakable idealist I once was. But I think I’ll pick up my dreams again and work for greater things.

Terrified

Analytic geometry finals = TRAGEDY. The test was divided into two parts: the first was multiple choice, the second, problem solving. The multiple choice part was a breeze, thankfully; I’m certain I have at least 40/50 points from there. The problem solving part was a different matter though. Yesterday, I had a real struggle trying to focus on studying. It was like my brain was positively rejecting the math. I’d forgive dear Brain for that if it were any other occasion, but oh, it was such a wrong time to go rogue on me T__T. Sigh. I think the highest GPA I can get for ANAGEOM now is 3.0 :<.

My exam for tomorrow is applied chemistry. I’m a bit nervous about this as well; our teacher was always something of an underperformer, so the whole class constantly struggles with the subject. Oh, Lord, have mercy on our mathematically-inept souls!

My parents arrived from Baguio today. They brought my violin! Yay ♥. I broke the E string while I was tuning it though . Oh well, I’ll get new strings tomorrow. I’m so excited to do this again. I’ve been doing a lot of singing as well. Hopefully, my love affair with music will last this time around. I sadly often play the role of unfaithful lover in these types of things. Enthusiasm/interest is SO difficult to maintain.

Back to blogging

After resetting my wordpress password for the nth time (I’m sure if anyone can tire that password generator out, it’d be me), I’ve decided to do blogging again! I’m not sure why I never manage to maintain my blogs. I have about a thousand blogs littered across the Internet, all of which have been hung out to dry :<. That doesn’t bode very well for “Mnemosyne” huh? I’ll do my best to keep this running, though.

I ought to be studying for my analytic geometry finals tomorrow, but I can’t stop watching covers of all sorts of songs on YouTube. I really do want to start making my own videos…I’m quite the frustrated singer, you see. I’m really kind of surprised that our condominium neighbors haven’t complained about my constant belting yet .

Anyway, Christmas is fast approaching! And I’m in big trouble, gulp. Because of my newfound Starbucks obsession, I haven’t been able to save up money for gifts. Last year, I managed to muster about 5000 pesos (which is around $100-120) and got some pretty decent gifts for my friends and family. Looks like it’s back to handmade cards for this year. *sigh*

I feel sad looking at my non-existent blogroll. Beware, bloggers (especially those over at POP) , I shall come lurking in your webpages.
