I scanned my friends list last August 17 and guess what I saw?
A copycat, she copied sentences from my profile (pathetic!).
I commented on her profile “iha, masama gumaya” but she just viewed me and did not even reply or erased what she copied. And here’s another thing “be yourself, period” was written on her about me section, hahaha, how ironic!

Our NCAE and periodical tests are over but some of our test papers are not yet given. The awarding ceremony for the Linggo ng Wika will be done tomorrow. I did not join any contests because I was part of the committee that organizes the event. Baby will be in a play presentation tomorrow, he will portray Crisostomo Ibarra, and I am so excited! He looks really hot in a vest, haha.

We are required to read a book by our English teacher.
The book is The House of the Spirits.
I think I’m going to like it. I skimmed the plot summary in wikipedia. It has somewhat same element with Like Water for Chocolate which is one of my favorite books and is required for the 3rd year students to read.
It’s R-18! haha. It has some bizarre sex scenes written in there and when I say bizarre it’s really BIZARRE. Don’t get me wrong it is not indecent; it’s cultural, profound, creative, inspiring and really hard to put down.
I fell in love with the book.
I stopped myself from reading it because I can finish it in one day and I don’t want good things to come into an end. I tried hard but I can’t control my book craving, a week has passed I finished reading it.
WARNING: Spoiler Content - Mild ▼
Mini Summary:
Young Tita de la Garza, the novel’s protagonist, is fifteen at the start of the events in the story, which take place in the era of the Mexican Revolution. She lives with her iron-fisted mother, Mama Elena, and her older sisters Gertrudis and Rosaura, on a ranch near the Mexico-US border.
Tita’s admirer, Pedro Muzquiz, comes to ask for her hand in marriage, but Mama Elena forbids it on the grounds of the De la Garza family tradition, which demands that the youngest daughter (in this case Tita) must remain unmarried and take care of her mother until death. Pedro then reluctantly marries Tita’s older sister Rosaura instead, and a distraught Tita can hardly keep from being grieved, even though Pedro maintains it is Tita he loves and not Rosaura.

I felt different emotions. I hated Mama Elena for being so cold hearted and manipulative. My mind was screaming “Bitch!” while I was reading her cruelty.
I pitied Tita, I cried for her, with her. I felt her sadness and longing.
I fell in love with Tita and Pedro’s love story. Kinilig talaga ako
I laughed at Gertrudis’ sudden sex scene with a soldier because of Tita’s cooking. hahaha.
The book can be a cookbook too; you can try out the recipes there.
I can go on and on why I love this book but I might bore you.
Just read it and see for yourself.
I don’t recommend the book to those who don’t appreciate Magical Realism.

Whatever happened to eloquence?
We have this new rule at school which is an absolute piece of shit.
Girls can only wear black and white accesories
Yes, you read that right. What the hell is the purpose of this rule?! Will we be guaranteed to be successful, smarter or happier when we are only allowed to wear black and white accessories? This rule hinders the freedom to be able to express one’s self. The reason for this rule is “simplicity” which is synonymous to the word plainness. Is it not a person’s choice if she doesn’t want to be plain? Our country is democratic and here at our very own school it is not being executed. Wearing colored accessories does not affect a person’s morality neither is it out of the norm. In conclusion, this rule is a futile attempt to have authority over the freedom of self expression.
Being simple is a choice not a law.
