Prep time for the big day tomorrow! I already know how this is gonna go. After the grubbing and instrument playing, I’ma be posted upstairs with all the other kids ‘til midnight hahaha. Just like the typical Filipino party. Nonetheless I’m excited. It was fun spending the entire day with grandma. She and I are so scary alike, I feel like I have an especially good...

My grandma turns 70 today. Ah, that fabulous woman. Out of everyone in the family, she definitely relates to me the most. Whether it’s music, fashion, or personality, she takes the cake. ♪ Can’t wait to see her tomorrow! ♫ ♥

Infatuation, ever since the moment I saw him walk through the door. It’s just like how that one line goes, “One look and I swear, it was like middle school all over again.” To my surprise, I find ourselves making eye contact and exchanging smiles from across the room only moments thereafter. Boom. Even more smitten. Ha. This boy was absolutely adorable to me, and with that among...

4.5 hours of piano, music major status! My hands are super worked out, achy and such. But on the bright side I definitely got work done. The piece has definitely gotten to at least half the speed that Valentina Lisita plays it, and while it might...

I am having such an amazing time listening to this third movement as I read it off the pages. It’s little things like this that get me so exhilarated about music, the joy of being able to take every jot of black detail on the plain white sheets and making it come to life. It’s magical, gotta be the one of the best things God has given us. ♪ Playing with peeeling! ♫

The tall white boy who sits behind in my class is pretty cute. I especially don’t mind that he taps my shoulder rather often for help, haha. Anywho, helped a fellow classmate with her music theory homework during break today. I’ve a feeling she’ll be coming to me more often. Not that I mind, of course. She’s sweet.
Anjelica loves the fur scarf I got her!...

Seeing Jack and ‘Turo in front of my house put a big ole’ smile on my face. That sight alone told me that today was going to be beyond my expectations.
Great Mall to kill the time! You know, I’m usually iffy when it comes to shopping with guys, but with these fellas it’s not like that at all. They’re some gems, so I’m super thankful to have...

I woke up to the best text ever. My sister placed first in violin, piano, sketching, and the science fair! She also ranked second in spelling and singing and then third in photography (But honestly, it’s so much harder to have perfect intonation when you’re playing double strings on a violin than it is to just click click click for a pretty picture, so it’s alllll...

I’m so grateful to say that I was one of the few people who finished all 200+ homework problems for math. One week ago, I had zero work done since I was the only person in the class without a textbook (It actually only arrived yesterday. Long story.). That said, it felt sooo good seeing that I got an ‘A’ on that baby. HELL YEAH, way to start off my weekend. Being...

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!

Come 2 PM I was mentally drained after studying math for 5+ hours. With squinty eyes and the works, it was time for a pick-me-up. Thrifting.

Back in seventh grade, I had the fattest crush on my older brother’s good friend Eric. I knew him as his cute Asian friend with the killer smile who liked telling knock-knock jokes. And for some reason he reminded me of sandwiches. Sadly, I was too shy to ever interact with him with anything more than a smile. I mean, he is five years older and my brother’s friend. But anywho. I...

The Vow with Jack! And my first-ever midnight showing, might I add. But, I must say that in my honest opinion, for once, reality was finally better than the movies. A lot better. Having read the book— Alright, I know that the movie was only inspired by real events, but hear it out— I was expecting a lot more. For example, Christ was undoubtedly the sole foundation of the...

February 9 Today I had to go through two enrollment lab assistants, one A&R worker, one secretary, one professor, and two deans for this approval to work out. That said, I’m beyond relieved that it did. It was all quite hellish, especially since standing for long periods of time is not a go for my spinal condition. But it wasn’t anything a large bowl of clam chowder couldn’t...
