As you can tell from the title, you will be reading about some big changes and some things that I have found important that has happened. Maybe you'll understand why I haven't written in a while
- I have been studying for my first ever university midterms. I didn't know what to really expect coming, a lot of things have been warned about them. I've come to a conclusion that I absolutely despise multiple choice questions. No matter how "easy" they may seem, it's just a hit or miss and some of them are so tricky that you consider every answer as a darn possibility. I've always despised this system... as Einstein said: "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." We've got so many different talents and ideas we can offer the world... through this system it holds us back! Anyways, got caught off track... where was I? Oh, yes. Midterms. It's hard... I've been studying my butt off and somehow it barely gets me anywhere. Not sure how to fix this, but I'm just trying not so hard to believe I'm stupid after all these midterm results.
- I'm growing into a vegetarian lifestyle. A lacto-ovovegetarian lifestyle, to be exact! I've always seriously considered it but I wasn't sure how my family would react. They obviously don't think about it as a serious issue, eating meat... neither did I, at least not a huge issue. So what changed my mind? I recently was assigned a psychology assignment about the question "Should Humans Eat Meat?" It wasn't supposed to be formal, I'm guessing, so it was just mainly opinion based answers and you didn't really have to choose a side. I did my research and went with "no, we shouldn't eat meat". Anyways, that's not the point, the point is that the next part of the assignment was to edit your peers' work. So I did. However most of them attached videos in their assignments and if you don't already know... I'm a visual learning. Ideas hit me hard when I SEE things. I saw so many horrifying things, more horrifying than the other videos I've ever watched before. I'm trying to keep it vague as possible... but yeah, you get the idea. I almost threw up at school and that was the end of meat-eating for me. My family doesn't take it seriously so I basically just have to try to adapt to their eating lifestyle which is difficult because majority of Filipino dishes have meat in it. But it's my choice and I just wish it would be respected.
- I've recently moved into my new home! It was hell moving it, I'm telling you. We have four flights of stairs, with three floors, and that doesn't seem bad, right? But carrying furniture, being clumsy, and constantly forgetting things downstairs... it's a pain in the arse! Overall, I'm loving it. However, my mom's quite clingy to it and it's impossible to do certain things... sometimes like sitting on the couch (because it's a brand new couch). I understand but I just love laying on couches so I guess it'll take a while for her to settle down, as must I. My room is Paris themed and personalized with some Ed Sheeran posters. In the pictures below was before the personalized items, (however this is just a glimpse, I will soon make a room tour post wee!):
- So aside from moving in, I've also had a house warming... which was extremely stressful and I did not like it at all. I did not realize how difficult it was to entertain people especially when some of your friends don't even know each other. It was exhausting and it was an alright experience. Most of the day/night I really just wanted to be alone and sit by my Christmas tree (which I have already put up in the beginning of November) and do some reading or sketching. Things I find very interesting and entertaining is extremely BORING to everybody else. I struggled the entire night keeping everything in check and just didn't feel good enough or couldn't please anyone. I know... we're not here to please people but what a great feeling it is when you do... I got to see my friends, but I felt like part of me wasn't really present, but I'm glad I saw them. I got to doll up a bit too, which was lovely because I love dressing up for occasions (but don't get me wrong, I love being all slouchy and lazy too!) At the end of the night, it was a horrid cleaning experience. I absolutely love and hate hosting events... overall I was just a bummy girl yesterday, I apologize to anyone who was affected by it. My mom also snuck in that we were somehow celebrating my birthday as well...and people brought me presents. (Not to mention, my birthday was two months ago, haha, my mother is so silly!) I will review some of the new things that I have also been trying out in a new post! Anyways.... My look from yesterday is attached below!
(I will personally post the items in my room in my room tour post coming soon!)
Black lace dress (H&M), necklace (Le Chateau), lipstick (Revlon)
nails (Essie), glasses (Rayban), foam curlers used (Dollarama, yes... they're brilliant)
SO HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS NOW! (Sorry, it was playing and I could not just belt it out in this blog post!)
<3 Little Mer
