Contact.
I have a lot of mini-goals that I want to accomplish before I turn 25 next year, but this may be the most important goal on my list.
I want to get better at keeping in touch with people.
I’m really bad at staying in touch with people. Usually, if I do keep in touch with someone, it’s because they do most of the contacting. And I appreciate that. But friendship is a two-way street, so...

Study Break.
I need to take a break from studying, but I’m not ready to fall asleep.
I’ll be up for a while because of that nap and cup of iced coffee.
I figured that even though I’m technically taking a break from looking at prompts and practice problems, I might as well practice writing so that I’m exercising my mind in some way.
I could’ve written in my other blog, but for...

SPCN Memory Lane
A month ago, some alumni decided to chip in for an SPCN alumni ad and a donation to SPCN. First of all, thanks to Emily for starting the thread and everyone else who was down to help out. I finished the ad last month, but I didn’t want to upload it until it was closer to the actual day of SPCN. With SPCN 2011 being hours away, I guess now is a good a time as any.
I spent about a week on the...

michellelapitan:
For the past few days, I have been in super reflection mode. Maybe it’s the year ending. People graduating. Moving out of the apartment soon. Passing down the SPACE AA torch to someone else. Starting a new path as Samahang’s Community Projects Coordinator.
Yeah, I’m scared as hell! I’ve been…
I love Boy Meets World. And I completely agree with what you said at the end:...

This is one of my favorite parts from this book. I read it last summer, but I think I want to read it again. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something different. I thought it was really thought-provoking.

TED talk by Sheryl Sandberg: “Why we have too few women leaders”
An interesting talk on the reasons why women make up a small percentage of the top power spots in the world…
Quotable: “Because what the data shows, above all else, is one thing — which is that success and likability are positively correlated for men and negatively correlated for women.”
I love TED talks. And...
For Posterity's Sake
Posterity
[po-ster-i-tee]
-noun
As defined on Dictionary.com:
1. succeeding or future generations collectively; 2. all descendants of one person
I haven’t written a post in a while, so I’ve been trying to figure out what I wanted my “first” post to be about. Since I’ve been trying to work on improving my vocabulary, I decided it would be appropriate to start...

Maybe
…it’s time for me to start posting on Tumblr again. I’ve started writing in my journal again, but that’s different. Besides, I need to practice articulating my opinions and thoughts before I take the GRE.
But maybe I’ll wait until after this intense walk through SPCN memory lane and reunion with Photoshop :)

“I did not fight with the thought of becoming a hero – I just did what I was...”
– Faustino “Peping” Baclig, Filipino World War II Veteran 1922-2011
Rest in Peace Manong Peping. What a loss for the Pilipino community. Yet another reminder though that we are part of a greater movement, fighting not just for ourselves and for now, but for those who came before us and those who will...
Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging →
Beneath the quiet exterior, INFJs hold deep convictions about the weightier matters of life. Those who are activists — INFJs gravitate toward such a role — are there for the cause, not for personal glory or political power.
INFJs are champions of the oppressed and downtrodden. They often are found in the wake of an emergency, rescuing those who are in acute distress. INFJs may...

Zach Wahls, a 19-year-old University of Iowa student spoke about the strength of his family during a public forum on House Joint Resolution 6 in the Iowa House of Representatives. Wahls has two mothers, and came to oppose House Joint Resolution 6 which would end civil unions in Iowa. The fight to to keep marriage equality in Iowa continues, help us support Iowans like Zach.

I’ve been sick for about a week. And I haven’t turned on my computer in about 5 days. I haven’t even checked Gmail, Tumblr, or Facebook.
That’s probably a personal record. But I actually haven’t missed much. I’ve only had 2 or 3 messages from Facebook and Gmail combined. That’s enough to prevent me from going back to my old habit of checking all those...

Day 9: Ten Photos You Took
I try to bring my camera with me no matter where I go, so I have a lot of pictures to choose from. I really just chose these randomly from some of my albums:
1. Phantom of the Opera
I watched it at the Pantages Theatre, and it was AMAZING. I took this picture during intermission and I really like the way it turned out.
2. Bruno Mars
I love, love, love his music. And I’m so glad we got...

Last place I visited: Las Vegas
This picture is from a trip earlier this year (it’s the view from the M resort), but the most recent trip was on Halloween weekend with my friends. We were all Disney characters :)
Oh Vegas. I’ve been there 4 times in the past two years (3 times this year). Every trip is different, but every trip is definitely memorable :)
Place I’ve Never...

August 23 is on the cusp of Virgo/Leo, but I definitely lean more towards being Virgo.
By the way, the description is eerily accurate. Everything’s either really true or mostly true. (The horoscopes are from Dec. 7 because I actually wanted to post this a week ago but Tumblr wasn’t working for me)
Description:
With an acute attention to detail, the Virgo is the sign in the zodiac...

Day 6: Your Favorite Quote or A Passage From A Book That Has Touched You

1. Be in a position that promotes health awareness.
I’m still trying to figure out how I want to do this. Health education? Health policy? Health communications? Nutrition? I have a lot of different interests in life, so I could actually picture myself going into a number of different fields.
2. Cook/bake more often for myself and others.
When I make something, especially baked goods, I...

Favorite Animal:
A giant panda’s day mostly consists of eating and sleeping. How can I not love that? And of course, who hasn’t seen this video of the sneezing panda?
One more thing - they’re cute, but they can be dangerous too. I find it intriguing that most people think they’re harmless and overlook this trait.
Favorite Food:
I love all types of food. And, in the...
MIA
Sorry in advance for all the posts later today. I’m behind 13 days in the challenge and I wanna catch up.
I’ve been MIA from Tumblr. I don’t go on Facebook as often. I’m not as quick at replying to emails. It’s really weird since I used to be on top of all of those almost all the time.
Now the best way to get in touch with me is text (sometimes Twitter), and the...
Disney Fairy Tale Weddings by Alfred Angelo
LOVE THIS. It reminds me of the disney princess wedding rings that I reblogged from someone once. I’ve always wanted to see a Belle-inspired wedding dress.
xoxotiangco:
I have seen so many wedding dresses on “say yes to the dress” on TLC that cost a fortune & make me think…really that’s a $5000 dress? *gasp!
I think I have finally seen wedding dresses that impress...

The great moments of your life won’t necessarily be the things you do.
They’ll also be the things that happen to you. Now, I’m not saying you can’t take action to affect the outcome of your life. You have to take action. And you will. But never forget, that on any day, you could step out the front door, and your whole life could change forever.
You see the universe has a plan,...
