hi! i’m writing this post because i know that someone among my followers will see this (and hopefully, have the means to help!). this is regarding a friend of mine from senior high that is looking for financial donations through her gofundme. she is a scholar in a philippine university, but does not have the means to fund her daily expenses. you can read her full story (with pictures & proof) by clicking this link.
if you donate, thank you so much! she is the first person who approached me at my new school in senior high, and sharing her story on this platform (to hopefully collect some funding for her) is the way i’ve thought of helping her. (i can’t supply her with my own donation because i’m applying for a scholarship grant as well!)
does anyone else enjoy the new grouped/clumped together likes, reblogs, and follows notes on the activity page? my inner highly organized soul says yes
20/04/19 - an actual whole new world
a hop, skip, and a train ride later, i managed a visit to my future alma mater. (yes, i’m comfortable enough with posting my face on here, hello to you!) the campus is sprawling with european architecture. additionally, it’s the oldest in asia. my father and grandfather had studied here, and now i’m doing the same. looking forward to the august schoolyear!
side note: the first photo isn’t mine, i took it from the university’s twitter account. it matched well with my photo on the right, and looked really pretty. ehe.

10/09 | this love has no ceiling, i cannot deny
espectáculo: a fashion show soirée was muy espectacular. there are so many people i would love to thank, but i would be rattling off for hours. directing a show is no easy feat, but i pulled it off with lots of help. (if you cannot already tell, i’m the girl wearing that electric blue gown!)
if you are a sociology major and a lover of memes, then please reply down below your answer to the question: do you think memes and meme culture show marxist alienation?
it would be greatly appreciated if you can help. thank you!
29/09 | nuestro planeta - kali uchis
i’m back! it’s been a long time, but it was sooo worth it. a 91.98 (A) general average, a spot on the honor roll, and being at the top of my classes make up for all of my lost time on here. (also, mooncakes all around!)
ps: i edited out a lot of private information that they put on report cards oops
extremely grateful for every single reviewer sent to me and google docs for assisting me in this endeavor
10 songs i’m currently obsessed with
i was tagged by @akimdemic , thanks kim! love u sm. forewarning: i’m on my 00′s kick right now, so majority of these are sappy not-so-old songs that i find to be absolute bops! (also, a little bit of OPM/original filipino music is thrown in there.)
- stickwitu - the pussycat dolls
- fantasy - mariah carey
- weak - khel pangilinan
- brown eyes - destiny’s child
- irreplaceable - beyonce
- PARA SA AKIN (INTERLUDE) - jason dhakal
- home (live ft. manila string machine) - reese lansangan
- online lover - valiant vermin
- mundo (saxophone cover: saxserenade) - iv of spades
- japanese denim (guitar loop: justice der ft. rachel bobbitt) - daniel caesar
every song is linked in their italicized titles if you wanna give them a listen! some OPM songs are so sentimental and lovely. i suggest searching up the meanings to the words if you’re not from the philippines or don’t understand filipino, it’s simply a beautiful language.
i want you to do this, too (but it’s totally okay if you don’t!): @emmastudies @studyquill @studyblr @obliveiate @studydiaryofamedstudent @gabs-studies @juliasacads @studypetals @mochi-studies @studyrose
