exams

ah, exams...

the refreshing kick start to a much needed break after every semester of nearly everything. whether you're in school, college, uni... the end of exams spells the end of a semester.. we all know what that means ;)

HOLIDAYS!!

and i for one can't WAIT for my holidays to start.

but then again my exams are yet to begin.

and here's the toughest part...

STUDYING FOR YOUR EXAMS

here are a couple tips i picked up:

1. study at least four days before your exam. 
2. recite everything you've studied as often as possible (so that it sticks in your mind)
3. it helps to talk to yourself when you study
4. take a break at the end of almost every chapter (not including the unbelievably short ones)
5. remember to come back to study after the break
6. pace yourself!
7. if you're stuck on a topic that doesn't seem to sink in, skip it and move on. better to cover more ground.
8. if you're getting two things (e.g. subtopics, chapters, advantages-disadvantages, etc.) mixed up, try learning one in one room, and the other in ANOTHER room. it works for me :)
9. studies show that if you walk around, it'll be easier for you to memorize stuff
10. never give up!

it's not that hard, y'know. studying i mean. it's just input-ing some information into that big empty brain of yours and working at it to keep it there. that's all ;) 

it may be harder than it sounds, but trust me.. with some elbow grease, you'll be memorizing stuff in a SNAP! 

grow up, slim down

reading back on my blog, reflecting on my life, i've realized.

i have to grow up.

truth is, i'm a kid at heart. a big one. i don't phrase my sentences "sophisticatedly", i dress so childishly, i even sound childish.

i'm somewhat ashamed of what i am. Seeing everyone blossom into such beautiful young adults makes me feel. sort of. left behind?

it's not that i haven't tried growing up. i mean, i've definitely tried dressing up, and talking monotonously  maturely. and acting less like a big goof. but it just didn't feel right. i didn't feel... me. i felt like i morphed into this whole other person, like a wax shell engulfed my entire being. like all the sounds i'm hearing were heard with different ears. all sights seen with different eyes. all words spoken with different lips.

i hate feeling like that. and people tell me to "grow up". to be a "big girl now". sometimes, they don't even have to say anything. the exude this totally obvious  vibe and it is utterly unsettling. it radiates through my entire being, my mind goes into a spin. i feel like i have to jump into a time machine and come back as a totally older "me" just to fit in.

well, in my defense:

• i love wearing elastic shorts. they make my tummy feel like its being hugged.
• i love eating junk food. who doesn't?
• i know my blubbery tummy is a "problem" and i should exercise more, but hey. i'm trying okay?
• i know i've gained a few pounds, but... i'm fat, you're ugly. and i can diet.

am i fat?
my BMI seems fine
i weigh 54 kilos. that's only 4 kilos gained.
i'm definitely taller than 160 centimetres.
and
... my dresses fit better now, actually.

doesn't my height

and my pale skin

make up for my "fatness"?

looks like

it's back to

the gym.

oh! so clueless

this post says it all.
sometimes, people can be so clueless.
what does that get you?

i think you can tell.

oh! so slow

so my friends are all crazy over this game called "League of Legends" or LoL. so SOMEHOW MAGICALLY, LoL appeared in my com. and i wonder what MAGICAL BEING must have put it there.

anyway, so i gave in and decided to try it. but then the server was down yesterday and bla bla bla, so i couldn't try it until now.

i tried to start it, but it had to patch something, sooooo i clicked "update LoL".

it's still loading

and it's eating my bandwith, so i can't watch youtube, i can't play cityville on facebook, i can't view photos on facebook, and the icons on my blogger post are gone! and there's trouble autosaving drafts and what not.

ugh!

i hate slow internet!

i think i can WALK faster than the internet.

this LoL game better be worth it.

it's been fifteen minutes now and it's still stuck at 34%...

i hope it's worth it D:

test week

watch out, it's here to get'cha!

TEST WEEK!



we are in the midst of it...

so far not good :( 

i hope to survive this week and excel

into your gravity

i want to:

1. go to the beach
2. finish all my tests and have an extremely fun day out
3. laugh freely, without worrying about anything
4. not worry
5. learn accounting -.-
6. be strong
7. watch a movie with friends
8. taste the buttery goodness of popcorn and soda again
9. paint someone's nails 
10. gossip! without being judged, no lies, no "pass-the-message" game, nothing to worry about. just pure, girl-to-girl talk.

i'm also craving a waffle

L.O.V.E.

today was NOT a good day.

it even started out bad!
it was apparently "that time" of the month again. man, i almost forgot what cramps felt like. guys of the world, hear this...

you are lucky you don't go through this
you are lucky you don't have to worry
you are lucky you don't get moodswings
you are lucky you can drink whatever you want, eat whatever you want, without having any after effects
you are lucky you can taste sweet freedom every month, unlike us girls. it's like added stress!

so treat your girl right
she deserves it
no matter how big a bother she is
love her
and if you have to let her go,
let her down gently.
make sure she's ok afterwards.
heal her when she's wounded.

and if you don't want to,

save everyone the trouble

and don't take on obligations

that you cannot fulfill

a relationship is not a chore

it's beautiful

and should be treated

with respect

and girls love guys who respect them. who wouldn't? :) 

cheers to love.

whether you're in love,

or just fell out of it,

or still waiting for it to pop up and surprise you,

here's to love.
