Quote “If you embarass yourself, you’ll surely grow stronger!” – Gintama

TIME GOES BY TOO FAST!!! =_=

I get home from school at roughly 5:00PM. I shower, eat dinner, study, do homework, relax…and when I look at the clock again it is SOMEHOW 10:45PM?! =A=;

I make getting 8-10hours of sleep EVERY night the #1 priority (sometimes I cut it to 7hours if I have lots of unfinished work but it’s rare), haha. So what I am getting at is…

…I wanna make pretty wallpapers~layouts~websites *heavy, heavy sigh* But when I look at some amazing wallers at MT, they note that it takes about SIX HOURS everyday for like, a week or two for 1 wallpaper (an impressive one I may add). And that is if you work SIX HOURS EVERYDAY FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK (or two)! And it’s not that they’re lying, it’s truth (from experience). But GOOD LORD! How can you spend SIX FLIPPING HOURS EVERY DAY FOR A WEEK? I can’t even sit in front of a computer for 6hours! =A=; True, I can spread out that time…but goodness, it’ll take me a month to finish something…if I even stay interested! X_X If I spent 6hours, that means that right after I come home from school, I’d have to work on walling and no homework and no life! =..= And I want another 4.0, hahaa…*sigh*

But I don’t wanna give up my studying time, sleeping time nor do I wanna give up my relaxing/no thinking time (when I watch anime and/or read manga XD). BOO! The day is too short! X_X

Gimme some tips on how you manage your time please~! Seee you gaiiz soon ;3

This I Believe

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

This I Believe Essay: The Journey of Self-Acceptance

I believe in self-acceptance and that self-acceptance lights the path to happiness and inner peace. When I mean happiness, I do not mean the pleasure you get from opening Christmas gifts, the excitement you get while partying or the feeling of luck you get when winning the lottery. Happiness is accepting and believing in something only you have full control of: your soul. Some people can find self-acceptance on their own. But most people, like myself, need others to guide them on their journey to self-acceptance and happiness.

During my senior year of high school, I was down in the dumps. Not only did my ‘first love’ dump me with no intention of coming back, but my ‘friends’ of high school treated me as if I did not exist. I felt anguish, confusion, humiliation, and alienation. I depended on their praise and company to be proud of myself. In reality, however, all I was doing was deferring my attention from accepting the only thing that can grant me true happiness: me. I would feel great when people would say, “You look really pretty!” or “You are so amazing!” I would smile and say thanks even though I wished I could just disappear. I was ashamed and afraid of myself. The face I wore with a smile was nothing but a suffocating mask. I became addicted to the artificial feelings I received with other people. The feelings I felt with people were not feelings of happiness. They provided a temporary high. But when I stopped receiving them, I crashed. But as I crashed, I was rebuilt again.

In my sorrow and withdrawal, I found my three angels that helped me find happiness within: Amanda, Lucia, and Sally. They did not say things like “I wish I could be like you!” nor did they say “The clothes you wear look really good on you!” They said things that melted away that mask of mine. They told me: “There are also people that will listen to your problems and still accept and love you for who you are. Those—we are your friends, not them. The fact that you regret your mistakes shows that you have a heart. You are a good person.”

They cleared the damp mist of doubt looming over me. That was all I needed.

Thanks to those words, I looked into myself. You do not need the whole world nor a big group of people on your side to feel happy. What you need is a small number of friends that will seal the nothingness you have been feeling all your life so you can fill it on your own. Filling that nothingness is the journey to internal happiness. Self-acceptance is necessary in filling that nothingness and in order to accept yourself, you might need some angels to light the way for you. So after you find your angels and accept their guidance, do not be afraid to be happy…

Aha, that was my This I Believe essay that I had to write for my writing class last semester. I know it isn’t the best essay you have ever read but nonetheless I felt like sharing my belief with the blogosphere anyway. It was a pretty interesting project I had to do and the site has lots of interesting essays so I suggest you go to the website and check it out ;D

What do YOU believe in?

I’m a boob.

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Location My university’s Asian Library (yes, we have one)

So I haven’t blogged in a month even though I had literally a month off. I’m a boob. I suck! I didn’t even read the last post’s comments (reading them now AHH) So now I’m in school (fun times) and I am blogging not because I want to but because I have so much time…let me explain…

This is my schedule for the Spring 2010 Semester. Very exciting… X_X

M,W: 9:10-12:10 PM: Intro to Graphic Design I
M,W,F: 12:20-1:15 PM: Theology II: Pers. On Christianity
M,W,F: 1:25-2:20 PM: History: Emergence Global Society
M,W,F: 3:35-4:30PM: Philosophy II: Ethics
T,TH: 1:30-2:55PM: Anatomy and Physiology

(My university is a Catholic school so we have a billion of core classes that other universities do not…like 3 Philosophy classes, 3 Theology classes, etc)

So today is Wednesday and is the first day of the spring semester. My Graphic design class is a studio class that is supposed to be 3 hours long but because it was the first day it was barely an hour. For those who do not know, I live with my grandma so I can just walk to my university (I have to take 2 buses from my house, ew.).

And it just so happens that TODAY my grandparents are at the doctor.
And I don’t have the keys to their house.
And my next class is in another 2 hours.
And I have nothing to do for these 2 hours.
And I’m bored.
AHHHhhHH!!!! T_T

QUESTIONS FOR YOU~
1. In a job interview, when they ask “Why do you want to work at OUR company?”, what do you respond/write? Or, what would you write?
(I’m trying to get my 1st job so…yeah. Help! X_X)

2. Do you read manga/watch anime? If so, please recommend me some good ones

Site reramp & 2009 recap!

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Music LM.C: BOYS & GIRLS

Wow it has been about a month since I last posted. The past month I was authentically BUSY. At the beginning of this month I had 5-10 page papers due in all of my classes and finals just a week ago. Don’t get me wrong; I was not stressed because I do not cram anymore…just busy!

Anyway, I decided it was time for a new layout. First of all, in the middle of October I cut 6 inches of my hair and the layout I had up was with my long hair, so it was annoying looking at it XD Anywho. I also update my profile picture there since the previous picture was really outdated, haha. Man have I visibly matured (or aged ) over the past couple of months! Going back to the layout, this layout features the very hot hot HOT Izumi Sano from the manga HANA KIMI! ♥_♥ For more info, click here. ANY COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK ON THIS LAYOUT ARE ALL WELCOMED!

Wow, 2009 went by really fast. It feels like just yesterday when I was applying to colleges and when I thought I was going to major in Childhood Education (thank God I did not). When I think about myself one year ago, I cannot help but think that I would have never have guessed that I would be where and what I am today. The future is quite frightening and mysterious! But that is what makes it fun and exciting Unfortunately, my 2009 New Years Resolutions were all pretty much EPIC FAIL. 9/10 of them involved improving relations with my ex-boyfriend! haha well life moves on! 2010 is a nice number~~~!

MY 2O1O NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS WOOT WOOT
1. Keep my GPA above a 3.7 (2010 includes 2nd semester and 1st semester of 2nd year!)
(EDIT 12/23 WAHOO ALL MY GRADES FOR 1ST SEMESTER ARE UP! 4.O BABYYYYYY ;D Hard work pays off!)
2. Be there for my family and friends.
3. Quit wasting and asking my parents for money.
4. Try to enjoy socializing with new people (haha).
5. Make use of, organize and expand this site!
6. Maintain my current healthy, laid-back, stress free, happy outlook on life.
7. Make layouts for Poopie-chan and Butt-chan within the next few weeks! (Sorry gaiiz T_T)

Heh. My resolutions for this year are pretty short ^^; I really cannot think of anything more at the moment -_- Anyway, I made a gift for my blog buddies, commenters and visitors ♥

So that is all for now! Feel free to share your resolutions with me or any thoughts you have! I love reading comments! I also got two sites up, yay! click here to view them~

I also got an MSN account so I can communicate with the online community more efficiently, so feel free to add me: chocoripeyes@hotmail.com (tell me who you are though!).

I’m also looking for more blog buddies so if anyone is interested, drop me a comment telling me so~!
I look forward in hearing from you ;D

Quote “There is no external justification for the values and way of life that anyone chooses to adopt.” – Jean Paul Sartre

Hi everybody! Yeah that little ‘brief hiatus’ turned into two months! //fail. But I was honestly planning to update with a new layout but I have have been so busy that I have not had the time to make one that I was satisfied with.

School is going pretty well. My midterm average is about a 3.7 which sucks because I want a 4.O! I got a B+ in my English Composition class because I handed things in late…and an A- in Evolution because my test average was a 90! BOO!!! Everything else was an A with the average of 100+ in all 3 classes so they had no choice but to give me that…MUAHHAa

But I’m thankful for midterm grades! They forced me to do better…so in English Composition I made sure to hand in everything ontime and I recieved a 97 on my Evolution test! ^_^ Evolution is not that bad anymore…I still hate essay tests though! BOOOOOO

Thanksgiving Recess is starting in a few days!!! Yay! But nooo at the same time! I have papers due after the recess in every class! eww.

But aside from school, I have been into Katekyo Hitman Reborn! THIS SHOW IS FILLED WITH YOUNG BISHONEN ♥_♥ MARRY ME HIBARIIIII lol just kidding… ;D

But out of all seriousness, Thanksgiving is supposed to bring to mind what we are thankful for! So I hope all of you think about your loved ones and your good health or whatnot during this break!

What I’m thankful for:

1. My friends: Amanda, Jessica, Lucia and Sally. Thanks for being there for me and making me enjoy life!
2. My good health!
3. My happiness!
4. My family for bearing with the angsty me.
5. My grandma and grandpa for letting me stay at their house on weekdays and taking care of me.
6. Katekyo Hitman Reborn! for giving me good laughs and Hibari for making my heart go DOKI DOKIIII hehe
7. My flashdrives! I don’t know what I’d do without you little things.
8. Sushi! so yummy.
9. My body for allowing me to live life to the fullest.
10. God for making me go through lots of shit…but without all that shiz, I wouldn’t be what I am today! And I love me!!! (not to sound like a narcissist or anything)

Questions for you!
How are YOU doing? And most importantly, what are YOU thankful for? Please list them (like what I did above) in your comments and don’t be afraid to tell a friend, “Thanks for being there for me!” ^_^

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!!!

Work hard, -be happy- hard!

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Thought ‘You’ve got to believe that the sun will shine another day.’ – Because it will.

HELLOOOO my lovess :3 If my weekends aren’t what people consider happy and fun, I don’t know what is! I now know what people mean when they say, “I LIVE FOR THE WEEKENDS!” I work like a maniac during weekdays (despite this, it’s still surprisingly pleasant) and reward myself with weekends

My birthday is on Wednesday, September 30th! I’m going to be 18! WHOA! Old! Last saturday, I celebrated my 18th with mi lovely amigos! It was pretty awesome, two of my friends made me cakes (surprise!)–not from cake mix, but from scratch (I felt the love TwT)! How awesome is that?

Karaoke marathon for 6HOURS! FUN TIMES ♥ And after we left, they sang me a pretty pretty happy birthday *w* I LOVE THEM! And then we started singing like maniacs in the streets of Manhattan in the dark TwT

(1) Amanda, Jessica, Jason and Me :3 | (2) Me and the starfish cake Amanda made (inside joke :B)! Good lord, look at my freakishly obnoxious large smile here! Well I’m known for doing a really crappy job hiding my feelings…:B

(3) ^ Tehehe. The whole crew and I’m holding the “a” cake Deb made with Lucia ^3^

And that wasn’t all! We got home pretty late but I had to wake up early the next morning (sunday) because of the…NY ANIME FESTIVAL! I wasn’t planning on going because I’m broke, but Jess and Amanda bought a ticket for me as a surprise b-day present ^_^ But because it was a surprise, I didn’t dress up at all! Well, I tried to…on the bottom I wore red converses, fish-net like stockings, and black shorts and called it a day :B

Ahaha..yeah that’s me on the left T_T Candid picture of me eating…looks like I’m going to work or something! There were some very impressive cosplayers and so much cute things to buy *_*! I didn’t take any pictures, but my schoolmate did (with his freakishly hightech camera). Visit his site for more pics!

Until next time! I hope you’re all doing well!!!

P.S: The singer of Tokio Hotel is kinda sorta really hot TwT. And the song “Monsoon” is kinda super awesome. 8D

Welcome to college!

Random, interesting fact “I love pastel colored underwear.” – Nagashiko
(haha I found this fact really cute ^w^)

Wow, I haven’t updated in a while! College has started for me…and to my surprise….I like it! (say what?! hehe) And have also been preoccupied by it too. I won’t make any promises, but I’ll try my best to update on a bi-weekly basis and returning comments! aiyo!

English Composition: I like. (core)
Discover New York: I like. (core)
Philosophy: Human Person: I like. (core)
Science Inquiry: Evolution: The only class I came in thinking I’d like. Turns out to be the only class (& only professor) that I’m worried about getting even a B in (my goal this semester is 4.0). //Sigh. (core)
Phonetics: I like. (related to my major: Speech Pathology & Audiology)

Those are my classes! I guess I shouldn’t complain since I’m lucky to have 4/5 good professors. So far I’m doing well and I’m ontop of my work and studying hard, everyday!

In regards to this network and site, I am (still) driven on expanding the network. I (still..) currently have 2 projects coming up…hopefully I’ll have them both up by 2010!

//EDIT: FRI, SEPT 18th 2009
WHOA! There was news of this kid in my university that was “A St. John’s University freshman who posted messages on Facebook threatening to launch a “Virginia Tech attack” at the Queens campus. (I attend the Queens campus!)”
(Read the full article HERE) He got caught…and what is SO WEIRD is that I know this kid! He’s in my English Composition class and he was absent on Wednesday, which everyone found weird because it was his writing workshop and it was kinda mandatory for the class. And everyone in my class all read his memoir and had to edit it! (it was about football..lol) WEIRD! He looked so normal and nice! =A=; So scary!!! @_@

And I think it was last year or the year before that when there was actually a transfer student in my school that brought a gun onto campus…like wah? T-T My school is alright (I like it at least) and the people are peaceful and nice. No signs of visible bullying. X_X

QUESTIONS FOR YOU!
1. How’s school going for you?
2. If you’re a uni/college student, do you have any advice and recommendations for me (college freshman)? Things that I should avoid or get into?

THAT’S LIFE!!!

Music Skillet: Whispers in the Dark

Hola guys! I have been gone for a bit and I do apologize! I’ve been busy–in a good way! Let me recap on some things that have happened in the past two weeks since my disappearance! D:

On the July 4th weekend, I went to Cape Cod, Massachusetts and Martha’s Vineyard (an island off of Cape Cod). I must say, it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I felt like I was in a travel agent’s pamplet! I live in NYC so I don’t see much sights like this! I highly recommend a visit!

I just came back from a 3day, 2 night orientation at the college I’m going to be attending this fall – St. John’s University. Aside from the lectures, it was really fun! (surprisingly) We had a cruise and stayed at the dorms and went to visit an old people’s house thing (not a nursing home). Unfortunately but at the same time, fortunately, all the guys there were literally mcfUGLY knuckleheads. =_= Guess I’ll be focusing on my studies in college! ahaha..

During my downtime hours, I’ve been watching/reading some stuff!

(from left) Bloody Monday is a really good Japanese drama. Its all suspense and has A LOT of twists, but doesn’t overdo it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. However, if you’re looking for a great laugh or some sort of love story, this isn’t the drama for you (it’s actually very tragic and depressing O_O) And I own the fanlisting for it! JOIN IT PLEASE?

Next is Full Moon o Sagashite. O.M.G. I cried at book 3&4…I didn’t finish it yet since I don’t have time, but I read up to book 4 and watched up to episode 2 (the anime and manga are different but I like the manga better and so do my friends). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT if you’re into cute and bittersweet love stuff TwT (and cute characters~ hoho)

PRETTY SOILDER SAILOR MOON! Ohh the memories! Me and my best friends decided to have a Sailor Moon marathon–that’s right, watching Sailor Moon for hours! Relive our childhood years! It was a great feeling! Tuxedo Mask is so…dreamy TwT *swoon swoon* hahaha.

Lastly, Fushigi Yuugi! I read the entire series in my high school library (yes my high school library has MANGA), but my BFFLs decided to have a Fushigi Yuugi marathon too! I’m actually sleeping over later to a friend’s house with my BFFLs to continue the FY marathon! TwT

——

And lastly lastly lastly, I got a laptop (not great, but free) from my college and..A BAMBOO TABLET! (finally!) I just got it so I didn’t have a chance to use it, but yay! I can’t wait~I’m pretty excited about it actually. Hehe. In addition, after watching Sailor Moon I got inspired to buy their nailpolish colors LOL. I also installed Adobe CS4 so I’m pretty excited about playing with that as well!

That’s all folks! I’ll try my best to return comments and blog more often! See you all soon~!

Last Days of High school

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Music Super Junior: It’s You

I haven’t blogged in a while D: So my high school graduation was on Monday and I am not putting any pictures up because I look stupid in my blue graduation gown but here are a few pictures from the last days of class ^_^~

me and two friends being bored and stupid

me and two friends in my economics class..GIRUGAMESH! teheh

Technically we go back to school this friday for a bit to get our report cards + diplomas. :B I didn’t get emotional during the graduation, probably because it was ridiculously boring and I really, really had to pee lol…AHH I forgot to shake my principal’s hand during graduation! //fail!

Ehh I’m kinda sad of leaving high school. I’m sad because…college is gonna suck with more work, I will be in debt and need loans, and…growing up! I’m still a kid at heart, and I’m not exactly thrilled with all the new responsibilities that come with going to college :/ But I am a tad a happy leaving high school as well…I have a chance to start over, learn from my mistakes so I don’t make them again in college…one significant mistake I made in high school was slacking off my freshman year which ruined my transcript average >_< I definitely won't do that again! T-T

BTW!!! In regards to the last post…THE MASK WORKS! The thing is, it says to keep it on for 5 minutes…keep it on for about 30minutes instead. My face is freakishly smooth right now o.O hehe
