Day 6 - Worst Performance on an Academic Work
Well how do you pick your worst performance among three long tests, a midterms and a final exam which were all Ds? (I think I even failed one of those LTs). Talking about Math 11 here, people. As much as I loved my first semester in Ateneo, this subject was a pain I couldn’t reminisce about. I even had to shell out at least 1k a week for tutorial sessions.
Thankfully, I passed and...

Day 3 - Top 3 Professors (with explanation)
I can name more than three great professors I’ve had in college, but I’m basing my top three on impact (i.e. the most inspiring ones). The list is in no particular order.
1. Jope Guevara Philosophy of the Human Person I and II
I wasn’t supposed to take his class because I thought I’d rather ace Philo by taking an easier prof (I’m not a very insightful person you...

Day 1 - First OrSem Memory
I remember seeing Yoggie (one of our block TNTs) dancing on a chair and raising a colorful board that says “A2”. I immediately found my name tag/seat beside Aaron. He introduced himself and I impulsively asked, “Are you ‘bigsensuality’?” That was his Multiply account which I knew because he commented on some public photo of the block list. He confirmed my...

Spent the 23rd of January in Tagaytay with my family, my three-year-old cousin, Lois, and her mom. I was planning to leave Conan (my camera) at home since I thought the place had nothing new and inspiring to offer. But I went home with photos of this hyperactive kid, gigabytes aplenty.
That’s a pretty good jump for an overweight tot.
She enjoys posing for the camera but tires of it...

Day 28 - Do you wish for anything at 11:11? If so,...
I try to challenge the 11:11 spirits by wishing for something unlikely to happen but I wouldn’t mind coming true.
Except last November 11, 2011, 11:11pm. That wish, which I must keep to myself, is something I look forward to (still) having in the future. :)

Huffington Post: Now, “The Hunger Games.” I know you’re a big fan.
Kristen Bell: It’s all I think about.
HP: Anything new in your campaign to be Johanna? Is that still happening?
Kristen: I mean from my campaign desk here on my full-size bed in a back bedroom in my family’s house in Oregon, there are no new developments [Laughs] — other than the fact that I am trying to stay on top of it and not age too rapidly so that I can still be cast.
HP: For Halloween, were you Katniss?
Kristen: No, but my 30th birthday I themed after “The Hunger Games” and I put District numbers up around. I put District 4 for water over the pool. I put District 2 for electronics over the stereo and iPod. I had a blow-up castle bouncy house on the front lawn and I put The Capitol over the bouncy house. And over my front door, I put District 12. All my friends dressed as the characters and I dressed as Katniss. I was head-to-toe in spandex with a fire cape and carried a bow and arrow.
HP: That sounds pretty damn epic.
Kristen: Oh yeah, it was pretty much major. I had friends that went all out. I have friends that like do it. They do not mess around. I had friends who came as Cato and Clove and were dressed in weird sewn-together fabric leaves and army colors. They had the football black under their eyes and they had taken all the knives in their house, even the butcher knives, and wrapped them in duct tape so they wouldn’t be too sharp and flung them over their body like sort of ammo lines. They had all these knives taped to them — it was amazing. I had a couple Effie Trinkets. It was pretty exceptional. People dressed up like tracker jackers. They were like bumble bees, but with huge horns.
