I MISS HOME! I WANNA GO HOME AND EAT MY MOMMA'S COOKING!!!

Bittersweet Adventure

A day is so much more interesting when you experience it to its fullest extent; as in being conscious (or at least in theory) every single minute of its 24 hours.

Yup, that was my day today. Having close to no sleep at all for the full 24 hours of Wednesday, April 8, 2009, a day filled with the good and the bad, I can only describe it in one word: bittersweet.

As mentioned, my day started out...well...very, very, VERY early... more like Tuesday and Wednesday kinda just meshed together, separated only by an unnoticable one second.

12:00 AM with way too much work to do, I struggled to juggle Rhino-ing, and PhotoShop-ing, and chubbing. Losing track of time, I look at the clock and was astonished at the fact that I've spent 4 hours making very little progress on the work that I actually HAVE to do. After panicking wildly, a large sea mammal (B-Gon) knocks on my door to speak of absolute nonsense for hours, while I simultaneously design a community center.

Both awake at 7:00 AM, large sea mammal and I strut ourselves to Crossroads to replenish via consumption of heart attack foods (scrambled eggs, tater tots, and BACON)... only to find that lack of sleep weakens the digestive system, leaving us a little too woozy to further function normally...BLEH.

After an unexpected praise from my studio instructor, a short 20 minute nap, going absolutely insane, and getting disappointed at my architectural history midterm grade, B-Gon and I were kidnapped by E-Bay, and taken on a quite lengthy bus ride to a heavenly place known as Bittersweet Cafe.

This is where it gets sweet... very sweet. *sigh*

THE CLASSIC - The classic, sweet and creamy chocolate delight. In other words, delicious.

In addition to that, CHOCOLATE THAI ICED TEA - Sweet, floral, cool and refreshing. Surprisingly interesting and very very good.




THE BITTERSWEET - A deeply chocolate experience. Non-dairy, rich, and wonderful. Yuuuummmmmm... delightful.

Along with an order of Almond Croissant that is to die for.








Also, can't deny the fact that the charming cashier makes me wanna giggle inside despite his lack of intellect, but hey, that's OK.

E-Bay: Is this a habit?
Choco Boy: A what?
E-Bay: A habit
Choco Boy: *raises eyebrows*
E-Bay: Do you make this often?!
Choco Boy: Ohhhh! Yeah, everyday.

*facepalm* Oy!

The day proceeds with a walk down College Avenue, stopping at many wonderful shops, scheming pranks of odd-couple pregnancies, playing with children's playthings, listing possible themes for dinner date nights, criticizing the various types of architectures along the street, and once again, epicly ending it with another round of cramming ourselves onto my bed for a catnap (nip*).

The day had its downs, but heavily compensated by its ups (more sweet than bitter, really). From my previous blog, I talk about wanting another DNP, and hey, whattayaknow, it was just around the corner (or very very far down College).

Another day spent with two friends who have a knack for snacks, finds joy in toys, a passion for (good) fashion, and just an overall Bryan-ness and Steph-ness that makes me oh-so-happy. Can't complain.

AHHHHHHH!

GAH!!! I'm excited... I wanna watch...

It's OK, judge me if you must, but Zac Efron, *whew!*

WATCH THIS!

Dead

Lights at the Strikes Bowling Alley

I think other than the fact that I'm physically functioning for the most part, I'm pretty much dead. This semester has been a biznotch to me in so many different ways that my used-to-be-plenty stock of motivation is slowly diminishing into sheer nothingness. Though reassurance is abundantly handed out to me by friends and family, it still doesn't seem to be sufficient enough to get me back on track. It's like there's a voice that constantly whispers "failure" into my ears.

And when there's a voice that calls to you like this, you feel the need to just give up and stop trying. You feel good for a while, thinking about how much you don't care; how it's just you and the world right now; how you're finally free. Then a midterm, or a paper, or a project creeps up behind you and then BAM, you pull an intense all-nighter, and stress once again prevails and the whole process starts all over again.

Shame.

Things I want to do instead of work...

1. Dance around. Possibly naked. Even if Ashola does this on a regular basis, I've never tried it. Who knows, maybe this will make me happy.

2. Go to the zoo. Sometimes, I like the idea of reverting back to childhood where all you cared about was whether Mommy was gonna keep her promise and take you to the zoo to see the lions, and tigers, and bears (oh my!)

3. Sit on the sand near the water on a beach. Mmmm, just oh so relaxing.

4. Stay in bed the whole day. Have breakfast, lunch, and dinner there. With a good book.

5. DNP-day. Not that I don't see CHB abundantly already, buut, I'd like for one time to be absolutely worry-free, without any laptops or books or notes around. No need to spend tons of moolahs...

6. Paint. Boy, haven't done that in a while.

7. Go home without any homework. It cuts too much into my family time.

Distractions

GAH! I'm so easily distracted!

One second, I'm intently studying for my Arch 130 midterm, and the next thing I know, I'm on damn blogger, writing this damn blog. I'm such an epic fail!

The only thing I'm actually good at... sleeping and eating... at the same time...
