Today is a pretty chill day; spending time with the family.
I'm thankful to be healthy, fed, housed, and happy. Thankful to be loved by family and friends. I know sometimes we take things for granted, but it's good to reflect and take in what's really important in life.
On another note, Black Friday shopping! Yay!
*Edit
I didn't get any electronics, but instead got a lot of Christmas presents for the family and clothes. Good day 4am - 6pm. My feet hurt...

Poker Face
I guess I’m a bit mysterious. You ever wonder who your true self is? Sometimes we act different around different people, not because we aren’t being ourselves but they bring out a different side of us. I think all these facets combined make us who we are.
I like how people think they have me figured out, but you don’t. Maybe I don’t want people to know that much. It’s not the first time someone has said that I’m a complex person. Is that really a bad thing? I do hide things pretty well when I’m down. I don’t want people to worry about me, especially if they can’t help me. I know my friends are there to support me, but I rather not burden them. I choose to deal with it on my own til I’m aite, then I’ll share. Maybe one day someone will totally understand, until then you can’t read my po-po-poker face.

Day Five: Shooting Star
1. I wish for an epiphany really soon, so I can figure out what I want to do with my life.
2. I wish to be my own boss, have my own design label or creative agency.
3. I wish to make it rain (i.e. be successful)
4. I wish to go study abroad.
5. I wish to have some positive impact on society, to make a difference.
6. I wish my family and friends happiness and good health.
7. I wish to move to NYC for a year.
8. I wish to travel the world.
9. I wish to fall in love?
10. I wish to be happy.
Oh gosh this was the hardest post on the list so far. A majority of my wishes are career-related… so I had to combine them into one.
I’ll leave the rest blank til I figure out what I want.

Chibi Wolverine
Wow I am seriously injury-prone. I have powderpuff football next Thursday and a football tournament next weekend. This is the worst time to get a sprained ankle. Like really? Some higher power is messing with me for some reason. Two years ago at Asian Olympics, I jammed my finger. Yet I kept playing with it, so I ended up having to get an x-ray for fractures. I sprained different ankles during football and volleyball intramurals. I busted my lip going for an interception this year. Bleh.
So this time, it went down like this: Wednesday night practice one week before the Adobo Bowl. I'm placed at blocker so I get short dumps and then sprint off. Yada we practice offensive plays and run routes. Then on D, I dove for this guy's flags. My head was under his elbow, so he smacks me on the head. I get a cut so it starts bleeding. I sit out for a bit. I go back for offense, and 10 minutes later I'm on the ground with a rolled ankle. I mean I guess I went out on my biggest play of practice, but still, that's lame! It's practice! We run this wall play, and I'm designated to get the ball. I ran a deep post left while all the other girls run right. I catch the ball and run. [my mind: "Why am I running? This is pretty much a TD, and it's practice."] Too late for thoughts because I get flagged; he fell, and I fell with him. Not sure what happened but I end up rolling my ankle. I get carried away like a maiden back to rest. Embarrassing. I sit out for awhile longer and decide my ankle's not that bad. I could still flex it, so I go back for 10 more minutes of practice before I actually pack up and leave. I soon realize that it hurts to run or do any quick movements, so I just line up and catch balls without any running.
I limped around the rest of that night. My friend offered me a piggyback ride to my apartment, but I refused. 1) I didn't think my injury was that bad. 2) I could still walk. 3) I hate feeling "fragile" or "weak". Yes maybe I'm not physically strong as I am emotionally or mentally, but I'm not going to adhere to it. 4) I'm super stubborn. The next day, I crawled around. My ankle swelled up like crazy; it was purple, green, and fat. I couldn't put any pressure or weight on it; it was pretty painful.
Now I'm currently on Day 4 of Recovery, and it sucks. I can walk but with a lil swagger. I've been a super bum and rejected all outings just so that I can rest. I must play football next week, or I will be insanely furious! The swelling's gone down. I ice it and rub IcyHot cream onto it religiously. *sidenote* IcyHot cream is like "Dau" lol. Anyways I'm hoping I'll be like Wolverine and have super-speedy healing powers. I need it hardcore and asap.

Gossip Girl
Oh em gee I LOVE Gossip Girl. It's seriously my guilty pleasure to watch and one of the few shows I follow consistently. Yes, it's super dramatic and all, but whatever.
Real reason to watch GG? Chuck and Blair. As individuals, they are perhaps the most flawed characters, but together they better each other. I love their characters; they are real and complex. They have the best relationship out of everyone in the show; I'm just watching to see their epic love story play out. I'm waiting for them to get back together and end up together. The hopeless romantic side of me is going all crazy for them; I keep spamming Chair scenes on YouTube. *Sighs... Their love is pretty undeniable.
Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester are amazing actors; their on-screen chemistry makes me wish they were a real-life couple and that their love was actually real. I want to feel what they feel, to have a love like that. I want my own Chuck Bass...
Three words, eight letters, say it and I'm yours.
Next time you forget that you're Blair Waldorf, remember I'm Chuck Bass and I love you.
Sub-reason to watch? The fashion.

Night Owl
I love the nighttime; it's my alone time, my "me" time. For being such a socialite, I'm secretly such a loner lol. Time to plug in my headphones, zone out to my music, doodle, design to my heart's content, ponder, and blog excessively.
Day Four: Say
Dear Mommy,
1. I wish you trusted me more; I know you know who and how I am so there's no reason to doubt me.
2. Your love sometimes is very suffocating.
3. I know you love me alot, and that you always want the best for me. Your definition of "best" doesn't always match mine.
4. I know it's hard but try to be more open-minded.
5. I can take care of myself; please let me do so.
6. Stop being so over-dramatic and crazy sometimes.
7. I'm sorry for all the times I made you sad or upset. Please forgive and forget.
8. I can't wait to get a legit job so that you can retire early.
9. Thank you for everything, especially your love and support.
10. I love you.

Day Three: Doses of Haterade
1. Dear drivers, there are things called "car signals". Learn to use them. Thank you.

3. People who are compulsive liars.
4. People who talk shit but can't back it up. You are so full of yourself.
5. Being compared to others.
6. Men who think they can do everything better than women. Sexists!
7. The word "ugly".
8. Smoking. Nothing good comes from it.
9. Procrastination.
10. Failing/losing.

6. I love to volunteer.
7. I love how mentally and emotionally strong I am.
8. I love having my alone time, my personal space.
