Mm.  
Lately, I've been feeling off. Not myself. Not compared to last year. I feel like I've lost my optimism, and built this fortress around me where I've only given the key to people I've known in the past. I'm not letting anyone in, nor am I letting anyone out. I'm at a stalemate with myself, and I don't know how to get out.

Where I am now, is not where I want to be. Someone take me back to my happy self last year, before all this drama, before all of these complications blew things out of proportions. I'm still wounded from the fight, even if it's been this long, but I don't want it to affect me anymore. I don't. I can't.

Please tear down my walls.

Please. I don't want it there anymore.

You... I don't even know what to say. I'm too shocked. Who... are you? :|

And  
I need to stop looking for what "other people will do" and do what I think I should do.

Stand up for who I am, y'know?
Because no one else really will.

I can't really remember where I've left off in this journal. I think partly it's because I can't remember the last time I wrote a genuine paragraph in English, haha! Explanation will ensue.

First, I've neglected my journal yet again. I should avoid this.
It's not only this journal I've neglected though. I seem to have this habit of putting the same things off consistently. It's this part of my personality that I've recently discovered and I really don't know how to fix it. Shall dive into that soon.

Current life update?
Well, it's been a very hot summer at my school, The Ateneo. I know this because I've been a very active visitor of this place for the past month and a half. Yes, I have summer classes.

I'm taking Psychology, Filipino and Japanese. Psych doesn't really allow me to write my own paragraphs since it being a science course only requires me to memorize terms. Mostly it's been conversational English, Filipino and Japanese that fills my day. Yeah, I'm already not good at Filipino and I'm taking Japanese hahaha. Oh and get this, I have to deliver a speech in straight Filipino this Wednesday. If you knew me well, you'd know that I might not survive this week. I will die, fosure. :((((((((

ANYWAY, to lighten things up, or maybe just to change the topic, I'll go into the personality thing.

I may not be a psych major, but it's just something I've noticed. I'm... an extreme girl. It just seems like I have this switch in my head that has the capability to go all-out in things or just... average.

Examples!
  • When I get into something, like a project, new hobby or topic, I really get into it. I was really into my photography and movie making. Also series/movie watching. Also tennis. Also chess. Also online gaming. This week, I'm featuring the fantastic area of cooking and body fitness/weight loss! I've done the research and all, gym, diet, etc.
  • When I decide to prioritize something over the other, for a period of time, I will repeat these actions. Like when I was really into my photoblog account, but now it's been stale for... more than a month, I think. Same goes for this blog too.

Everyday pretty much constitutes of me going to school, hanging out with my blockmates, fulfilling Sanggu/org duties, or hanging out with Ants (<3). I don't know what happened to my summer plans, I usually have a long list to fulfill.

Time seems to be getting more and more precious as the days pass. It's... scary really. I don't know where it goes. I didn't really realize how school really sets me back from all the things I really want to do.

I still haven't written my stories. I still haven't started filming. I still haven't seriously studied video-editing and photography. I still haven't done a lot of things, and I'm almost 19. The older I'm getting, the less time I have. Not as in, my lifespan time, but more of how college will continuously demand more time from me, so I should be making use of it now. I should. But I'm not.

I don't know.

I just feel like my life should be more than this.
Or maybe it's just that I never imagined my life to be like this when I was younger.

But y'know, I often simply just slip back into the old habit of not caring and going with the flow.

As for my love life, well, that's for another post. Hahaha. :> :D ;)

Life  

Suhdwcijsisaorbdnixcisjsjcuejcbsicbsisbsidhdicjsshchd ef ef ef ef ef

Okay. I'll just say it straight. My grades suck. They really suck. Like imagine your grades being so bad, but not bad enough to fail, but you might as well have failed anyway because your parents will make it seem 100% times worse--but what's worse in this situation is that I can't blame them.

When will I ever be proud of my grades? What does this say of my course-choice? Or maybe it's just me? I'm just too lazy. Why am I so lazy???????? Nikki, stop being lazy and distracted!!! I am too distracted. Way too distracted.

This is going to making my freedom for second year very hazy. I need to step up. WAY UP. Like WAYWAYWAY up. Like DAMN-I-CAN'T-SEE-THAT-FAR-UP high. Geeze. Like dammit. :|

I don't know what's going to happen anymore. I just know that I have to rise higher than this. The way I'm living now is not right. I have to cut so parts out. I have to balance myself. I have to level my priorities.

Life, please prepare me for the worst. I hope the repercussions will have mercy.

What I hate is that I'm abroad right now when I'm in the mood to fix parts of my life, like my room, or books, but I can't do that now. I only have a fiction book to read, which I feel guilty reading because it distracts me from the truth...

Okay. When I get home, I need to fix my life. Summer class starts the day after I get home. I will make the most out of summer. I will aim for perfection. I HAVE TO AIM FOR PERFECTION.

Nikki.
STOP SLACKING. PUSH YOURSELF TO THE LIMIT. STOP WATCHING SERIES. STOPSTOPSTOP It's destorying you. You can do way better without distractions. PRODUCTIVITY.

DO YOU WANT TO JTA OR NOT???? JUNIOR TERM ABROAD IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE.

I  
need to take who I am more seriously.
need to stop letting people get to me.
must stop pleasing people.
need to let myself be who I am.
need to be stronger.

need to take EVERYTHING one at a time.
That's the key to success.

Pace yourself, Nikki, pace yourself.

YOU CAN DO THIS.
DON'T BE AFRAID.
DON'T BE ASHAMED.

Please forgive me for all the people I've neglected,
and all the blessings I've ignored.
Please forgive me for all the privileges I've abused,
and all the opportunities I've left untouched.

Please help me as I try to improve myself,
continuously keep in mind what I have,
what matters the most,
and to be thankful.

Most of all, help me remember fulfill these wishes,
and remind me again and again that time is priceless.

So.  
I'm doing my resume to submit to run again for Block Representative next year.

(Can I just say that I'm not sure if I should put my HS stuff, because the template I received was full of college credentials, and it might just seem sad to put my HS things. ANYWAY.)

I noticed through my resume how I'm usually almost there, but never there.
Like... I have the potential, but I don't do anything greater or single-y outstanding.
I don't stand out.

Jack of all traits, master of none, my dad calls me.
I mean, I'm only running for Block Representative. There are bigger jobs than this, why am I not aiming for those?
Maybe it's because I'm afraid to fail. Even when I'm... almost there.

I just need to focus.
...but do I even want this?
Or am I making myself want this?

Oh the question of the day.

Good evening, Manila.

to accomplish/start something great.
(totally not related to academics)

May it be one of the following:
  1. Write a novel. (Note: Not publish! Just write.)
  2. ...write a song. Hahahaha.
  3. Write a script for a movie/series.
  4. Film it.
  5. Become a YouTube sensation. Either alone (HAHAHAHA) or via Speque Productions. Or at least, start.
  6. ...start vLogging. Hahahaahah.
  7. Have my brothers, father and I do a full accompaniment to a song. (drums, piano, guitar, violin, voice)
  8. Have a renowned blog. (photoblog tumblr, dA...)
  9. start a blog full of reviews and opinions about the good feasible things in life (aka lifestyle blog)
  10. ...get published in the newspaper. XD
Big dreams for a little person. Huhuhu.
I only have enough time in my lifetime to do a few. Decisions, decisions.
----------------------------

Oh. I haven't mentioned this yet:

As most of you know, I'm in BS Life Sciences, basically a biology course. My first year in college is almost ending and I have a few months to decide whether I should shift out (to less risk being delayed) or not.

If ever I do decide, I've either been thinking:
  • BS Psychology -- but this decision is getting vague-r and vague-r. It is interesting, but I don't think it'll get me where I want in life. Y'know? Like... it won't contribute to the overall kind of job that I want.
  • Okay. This is the shocker: Physics.
  • I think I want to be an engineer.
    ...........hahahaha.......... My line of thinking is rather late, isn't it?


    Note that I haven't put any "art" related course in my choices when (as a given) I'm an artsy person. (Not limited to drawing-wise. I cannot draw. :|) I think I should mention that I believe the arts does not have to be learned in college, as a course, but instead, can be studied on your own, as a hobby. :) Who knows where it'll get you anyway? You'd have a back-up.

Hi. So it's been a while.

I just finished reading the last book of the trilogy, Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. Right now I'm feeling silent and contemplative as I do whenever I finish any story (movie, book, series) especially one at this length.

on Hunger Games... possible spoilers )
Okay. I'm having a hard hard time letting the story go. I have ten notecards (which are the size of bond papers) due tomorrow and I haven't started. It's 9PM. Hahahahaha. I need... human contact.

Anyway, if you haven't noticed, I highly recommend Hunger Games. Best distraction. Action-packed. Dramatic. Strategical. <3 I don't care if Stephanie Meyer loved it too. It's pretty good, and I can see why. :D
