I was at Claire’s earlier today when I came across the best friends/sisters jewelry section. Mind you, I’d always wanted to get something special just for Abby and me to honor our strange yet nonetheless awesome sisterly bond; but after rummaging through all the necklaces, I was pretty disappointed. For one thing, nothing really screamed us. Secondly, despite the quirky...

I can’t believe the album picture for our song is already a year old. Oh, senior year. ♥
It was great catching up with Cari today! Our update sesh was cuh-raaazy; when it comes to the most random series of coincidences, I don’t even know where to start. I’m telling you, for two people who live very different lives, we have such common grounds on the uncanniest of...

George’s hesitation was brief. Taking a long stride toward Dixon, he said simply: “Excuse me.” It came out in the best Clint Eastwood tradition, a soft phrase with underlying tones of businesslike, very confident menace. Reaching out with one hand to shove Dixon ten feet away, he took Lorraine with the other and folded her to his chest. Turning her chin upward, he...

Today was amazing. Grandma’s party was a success: food, company, music, and vibes were all right on hit. All that cleaning paid off, and it’s extra gratifying to know that my grandma’s fallen asleep with a huge smile on her face. :)
Personally, I had tooooo much fun catching up with crazy ol’ Amber (Mind you, I hadn’t seen her in six months!)....

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.
Imagine the amount of giddiness I felt when I saw the CD Liszt Lovers: Piano Dreams of Love and Passion. I ADORE LISZT, so this had me flipping out. Perfect timing for...
