It’s my father’s birthday. Sad that he can’t spend it with us since he’s abroad. Nonetheless, I greeted him through Facebook. I had a lovely lunch with my mother and sister at Gumbo: A Taste of New Orleans after running some errands. There were a lot of people at the mall, typical Saturday situation, so we ended up trying a new restaurant because we saw that it’s the less packed. The food was good. I particularly loved the watermelon shake, fries and the grilled pork chop! We shopped after. Need to burn all those calories. Jk. This is what happens when my mother is in town. She’s the only one who can drag us out amidst our homework and deadlines, which is something I am grateful about considering that I am drained with all the schoolworks. I need to get away sometimes.

As I mentioned on my previous post that I competed in a quiz bee and guess what? I won the first place. As a result, I’ve got exempted in the final exam. 

Have a lovely week ahead.

Last week’s happenings according to my planner: 

• It was the first Monday of July and I am required to cooperate in eXtraOrdinary Monday aka wear-your-business-attire-day. I kind of missed my morning class because I woke up late. (UGH I AM SERIOUSLY FRUSTRATED AT MYSELF BECAUSE I LIVE NEAR BUT I STILL MANAGED TO MISS MY CLASS.)
  
• I attended a seminar last Tuesday. It was very educational.
• We had no classes last Wednesday because it was Eid al-Fitr. I did my homeworks and slept the whole day.
• I was supposed to get my Dean’s List certificate but guess whaaaaat?! I forgot. Typical Bianca. Sigh. 
• Like I’ve said in my previous post, my school suspended classes last Friday due to heavy rain brought by the typhoon.
• It was my boyfriend’s celebration and I ate a lot. (What diet?)
• I met up with my group mates for drama then I went out with my boyfriend and sister after. I bought a gift for my boyfriend but I let him pick it. He’s happy. Seeing him happy makes me happy. 

I am one of the participants for a quiz bee about Philippine Governance and the 1987 Constitution on Friday which explains why I am studying about it. Wish me luck! 

Life lately consists of being busy and new things to obsess on. 

1. Loving this Herschel Supply Co. Dawson Backpack my mom got me about three weeks ago. 
   
2. After complaining that my hands hurt, I bought an Apple Magic Mouse and an Intuos Comic Pen & Touch Tablet for my Mac since I am taking Adobe Illustrator class this term.
3. I read Smaller and Smaller Circles by F.H. Bataan for my PHIL-EN class which focuses on Philippine Literature. It’s actually my first time reading a Filipino crime fiction and it didn’t disappoint. My professor assigned us to read Dusk by F. Sionil José next. He said the author was his professor at DLSU. How cool is that?!
4. I bought Camper Planner last Tuesday because my Starbucks 2016 Planner is an absolute mess. My life is somewhat organised now. 
5. It’s my boyfriend’s birthday today. I drew a portrait of him. I won’t post it because it sucks but I hope he will appreciate my effort. Heh. I plan to surprise him later. Sshh.

I guess I should blog more. I missed doing this. Anyway, classes were suspended yesterday due to Typhoon Butchoy. The weather actually ruined a lot of plans of mine. I guess I will be on beast mode next week because I have to catch up on deadlines seeing as third term will be over soon.

Stay safe and dry!

Ever since the term started, I’ve been putting in so much time and effort for school. I joined a new organization which aims to promote the rights of Deaf people and I ended up being the secretary. Surprise, surprise. 

On the other note, I finally found a place where I can study in peace. I actually prefer going to a coffee shop or the library at school when doing my school works since I can’t concentrate on being productive at my condo because I’ll probably end up sleeping or watching a movie/TV series (aka Game of Thrones).

I have a midterm examinations coming up next week. Oh, so much work that needs to be done. Everything needs to slow down.

I always find it helpful to have my class schedule as my lock screen.
