Hi! I'm Paula. 18 years old. An interior design student from UP Diliman. I have metallic blue nails and I like sleeping. And yes, you are very much welcome here unless you're one of those people who bloghops and say &quot;link ex with me?&quot; but doesn't really add you up. (Che! Hahahaha) Oh, and I'm a big fan of Vertical Horizon. &lt;3

			<title>Fix You by Coldplay</title>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>It's my song du jour. :D</p>
<p>When you try your best, but you don't succeed<br /> When you get what you want, but not what you need<br /> When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep<br /> Stuck in reverse<br /> <br /> And the tears come streaming down your face<br /> When you lose something you can't replace<br /> When you love someone but it goes to waste<br /> Could it be worse? <br /> <br /> Lights will guide you home, <br /> And ignite your bones, <br /> And I will try to fix you, <br /> <br /> High up above or down below<br /> When you're too in love to let it go<br /> But if you never try you'll never know<br /> Just what you're worth<br /> <br /> Lights will guide you home<br /> And ignite your bones<br /> And I will try to fix you<br /> <br /> Tears stream down your face<br /> When you lose something you cannot replace<br /> Tears stream down on your face<br /> And I <br /> <br /> Tears stream down your face<br /> I promise you I will learn from my mistakes<br /> Tears stream down on your face<br /> And I<br /> <br /> Lights will guide you home<br /> And ignite your bones<br /> And I will try to fix you</p>]]></description>

			<title>Self-Motivation Tactics</title>
			<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><i>Drawing is ALL I have.</i></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i>Please don't take this away from me. :(<br /></i></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I'm losing my touch.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I'm dreading my Arch subjects because it's only a painful reminder that I'm not yet good enough. (and God forbids, never will be.)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I can't draw a simple lavatory and water closet.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I so wanna cry right now.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Please Paula, get a grip, don't cram and learn from your mistakes. (draw your dimensions the way it's supposed to be drawn, woman! ._.)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And some reminders:</p>
<p>You will do your sketches and revise your exercise today.</p>
<p>You will NOT cram the plates. <b>Ever.</b></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Eye on the prize, dearie.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">4 years you will be doing this.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">(and much, much more! Brace yourself for the ride.)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p>

			<title>MY LEGS! AHHHHhhHhh!!!11!</title>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>Wala lang.</p>
<p>ANG SAKIT NG BINTI KO. Punyeta.</p>
<p>Pag kailangan mo ng jeep, walang darating. Pag malapit ka na sa paroroonan mo, tsaka tatambakin ng jeep. GRR.</p>
<p>At baka next week pa ibibigay yung results ng long exam namin. (one word: YEHEY! Hindi pa sira ang araw/linggo ko! :D)</p>
<p>Pero pakshet parin. Sakit talaga ng binti ko.</p>
<p><i><br />Ha! Walking for Fitness. Walking! How hard can that be right?</i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I kill myself now.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>(but wait! there's more)</p>
<p>HINDI MASAYA ANG ESQUISSE NG ARCH 10. Seryoso, dapat siguro sa kanang kamay ko.. ipa-spa every month para hindi magtampo. Baka biguin nalang ako bigla pag sobrang inalila ko e. Hehehe, love you, rightie. :D</p>
<p><br />Hindi na ako tinantanan ng hagdanan na yan. Huhu. Dagdagan mo pa ng banyo. *cries*</p>

			<title>Selfishness</title>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>Met up with Lou today.</p>
<p>It was supposed to be a date.</p>
<p>And yet, when I saw her, her blockmate was with her.</p>
<p>I mean, he's ok and all but really, she could have told me beforehand. I'm not really good when it comes to interacting with people I am forced to meet. Syempre, hindi ako makarelate since they're both Ateneans so what the hell do I fucking know right?</p>
<p>I acted like a complete fool. And to top it all off, just because I babble random shit, it doesn't give Louise the right to get pseudo-angry at me with all the drama. Nakakahiya at ako ang napapahiya. I guess it's ok kung kaming dalawa lang pero come one, kasama nya yung blockmate nya e. It's really awkward.</p>
<p>I don't like the unnecessary baggage.</p>
<p>Sorry.</p>
<p>I'm selfish that way.</p>

			<title>Before I do my pending shits. Hahahahaha</title>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>1. Block Bonding was fun! :) It was also Kim's birthday! Enjoyed bonding with my block. We stayed in Starbucks for a loooong time doing plates and ordering almost nothing. Well, some did but it can't justify the length of our stay there. Hahahahaha! Cool namin no?</p>
<p>2. Multiply's getting more comments than my Tabulas but it won't mean I will cross over the <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">dark</span> side or something. I still love you, Tabbie sans the exposure. :D There are some things that are better written here than there anyway. (don't get me wrong; i'm not backstabbing anyone from my contacts there.) Mas ok nga dito kasi FCO ang Multiply ko. :D</p>
<p>3. I have a lot of things to do and yet I'm using that time to blog. Hahaha! Motto of the year: SA MONDAY NALANG!</p>
<p>4. Ang sarap ng Otap ng Shamrock. :D</p>]]></description>

			<title>Detached</title>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>I feel so detached from everyone right now.</p>
<p>I dunno.</p>
<p>To the point that I'm making school as my excuse not to see/be with them.</p>
<p>Don't get me wrong. I miss&nbsp;my friends&nbsp;more than anything else in the world but why I can't find the time to be with these guys?</p>
<p>Nobody knows.</p>
<p>Or maybe because it's my period. That's why.</p>
<p>I have a boxful of excuses.</p>
<p>Monday. Yes, iron it all out on Monday, dear.</p>]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p><span> </span>I shouldn&rsquo;t be
writing this in public because this is way too much information but that
defeats the very purpose of blogging, which is the only place I can freely vent
out my frustrations. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p>So, last night, my mother borrowed money
from me again. I was reluctant to lend her because she still has not paid me
from the previous one she borrowed. Anyway, I told her I don&rsquo;t have money even
though I do but I later changed my mind and decided to lend her another
thousand bucks. Of course, she got angry and all because &ldquo;I was hiding money
from her&rdquo; daw which merit another sermon for me about it. I mean, I was majorly
pissed that I kept saving all my money only to be borrowed again and again with
no guarantee that I will be paid back as soon as possible. She was mad as hell
and I cried because for weeks now, I&rsquo;ve been very strict with my purchases so I
can save money enough to open that bank account. I was supposed to deposit it
yesterday but of course that didn&rsquo;t happen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p>My money is with my mother and I&rsquo;m still an
18 year old kid who stashes her money in a paper wallet with no savings account
to my name.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p>And now I learned from Aling Aida that my
mother is actually up to her ears in debt. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p>Maybe I don&rsquo;t have the right to complain about
my mother&rsquo;s debt to me because she has to swallow her pride and ask from me
simply because there is no one else.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p></span><i><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Naiiyak
ako kagabi dahil lahat ng pinaghirapan ko na ipunin na pera ay uutangin lang
ulit pala. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p></span><i><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Naiiyak
ako ngayon dahil <span>&nbsp;</span>naaawa ako sa nanay ko
at wala akong kwentang anak. Siguro nga may katotohanan rin yung sinabi nya sa
akin na hanggang ngayon ay naglalaro parin sa isipan ko.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p>I don&rsquo;t want to live the life my mother is
living right now.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><o:p></o:p><span> </span>I
don&rsquo;t want to stoop down so low as to ask for some money from my children (assuming
I will have one). I don&rsquo;t want to tire myself to death for nothing. I don&rsquo;t
want my children to hate me like what we&rsquo;re doing now. I don&rsquo;t want to be so
frustrated with life to the point that I will have to vent out my frustration
on the ones I&rsquo;m supposed to love.<o:p></o:p></span></p>]]></description>
