Feeling so so generous.

Well...  As the Filipinos know, we have another typhoon coming up.  Pepeng we call it. [I forgot it's international name].
You'll probably know about the earthquake in Indonesia and the tsunami in Samoa.  DDD;

Well, since Typhoon Ondoy created a big catastrophe in my home country.  Our family decided to donate a hella lot of clothes and TOWELS.  My ( Read more... )

Pepeng's international name is Parma. And damn those are a lot of donations. Your family's really generous~ Mom already made me bring out the clothes that don't fit me/don't use anymore.

Oh you're going back to the Philippines! What course are you gonna take? And yeah, I don't wanna be in a boarding school either. I'm only a sophomore in high school, but I'm kinda aware of the stuff that happens there -3-

Ahh... So that was the international name. DDDD; // Most of our donations are towels. Since... We have bajillion of them. DDD: [and we hardly use any of them].

Though it's nice to know that you're donating as well~ : D

Well, I'm probably taking nursing as my course [was planning to take Medicine, but I'm not bothered to study for gazillion years. ;o;].
What course are you taking, though? : D

No idea. My friends keep saying I take up Fine Arts, but mom wants me to go Law because she said I'm good at arguing. I absolutely have no intention of taking up anything that requires excessive math, and not medicine because I have a weak stomach. Heck, we're gonna go dissect frogs this year (I think) but I seriously don't want to. D:

My mum also told me to take Law. But... IDK. for some reason I don't like it. I really love arguing. But... IDK. D:

The only thing I hate about taking Nursing/Medicine is dissecting animals. argh. But I have to face it if I'm going to be a nurse. /cry

HUWA JANETTE THAT'S A LOT.
I completely forgot you were Filipino. I'M SO SORRY FOR YOUR COUNTRY T_T
Indonesia had its share of earthquakes too, so technically we're both mourning.

I thought you meant La Salle University in Singapore 0___0 Carisa (my sister)'s going there, since she loves art.

I KNOW RIGHT.
HAHAHA. It's OK. : D
I know, Philippines is like Typhoon-prone and Indonesia is Earthquake-prone. It's so sad. ;o;

Naaaawh. No matter how much I want to go back to Singapore, I'm studying in the Philippines. /cry

at least you donated ne~ we spent so much money buying ramen for the people. the grocery is practically empty .__.

you will?! my brother was suppose to take up medicine there but he went to ateneo med instead. why don't you go to ateneo? ateneo ftw.

I heard in the news that most of the grocery stores are out of stock. DDDD: // It feels nice donating... doesn't it? : D

Sadly, I'm taking nursing [kinda scared about dissecting animals. D:]. It's because I don't want to be in boarding schools, plus my relative's house is near there. ;o;
Butbutbut... I want to go to Ateneo as well. D:

yeah :[ its really hard to buy groceries now. of course. we're lending our van to ateneo so that they can use it to distribute donations ^^

once my brother took a dissected frog home ._. and in school they use the body of a dead person for lectures. you have no relatives in metro manila? i guess you could rent an apartment with someone. that's what my brother's friends do then they just walk to school. or dorm in admu.

Well, that's nice of you... W-wait! You have a van. /jealous

WHAT. TOOK IT HOME. argh. Why did he? DDD: // Is that allowed? To use a body of a dead person?
I think I have relatives in Metro Manila... I think. But I'm sure I have relatives in QC.
Rent an apartment? That's a good idea... But then again. It depends which college accepts me. D:
/that's my main problem, since I studied in Qatar. D:

Sadly, it is. It's more organized, now. [meaning everything is piled up and placed in plastic bags. : D]

Damn that's a lot of stuff. My family should probably go through all of our stuff and donate it...somewhere. But, that would require going through the giant pile of clothing in the laundry room...

...and the upstairs closet...

...and my sister's closet...

...and pretty much the whole house...

...there are never towels in my house. I think the sofa keeps eating them.

Good plan, going to college somewhere with family. That's why I'm going to the University I'm going to...

...okay, not going as in actually there. Distance Education is fun.

I haven't gone through my stuff and my dad's stuff. But I did donate some of my bags that I haven't used. : D

That's one big house you've got there. : D

SOFA. LOL. TOWEL-EATING SOFA?! : D

I want to go back to the Philippines, but just not by myself. D:

We have too much junk in general.

Yeah. We have this big Tudor-style house. It's old, too. For this town. It's 80-something. And considering this town is only 100 or so years old, the house has been around a while. I think it's haunted, too.

Yeah. Every once and a while I'll pull towels from between the cushions. It's odd.

The University I'm going to isn't that far from where I am. A little over 400km. Four hours of driving on a good day. And, yeah, I'd hate living somewhere without people I know. There is always the issue of "What if something really bad happens?" I suppose once I've finished University I'd live somewhere all by myself, but not now. Not now.

TUDOR-STYLED HOUSE. wow... I like antique houses... Just not the haunted ones. ;o;

Same... I'm worried about being alone by myself in a place which I'm not familiar with. But that's the point of growing up, ain't it? D:
