I took a really difficult midterm today for USAFORD. We were all expecting to take a standard MCQ type test with scantrons, but instead we were subjected to writing 3 essays about US Foreign Policy. It was hard and unpleasant and I am so glad that it's finally over.

A few moments later, my friend Sarah gave me a Time Turner--oh how I wish this one worked for real. Then again, maybe not. Even if I did go back in time, I still wouldn't be able to answer that dreaded midterm.

Isn't it just the most beautiful thing ever? You can even see the writing on the sides and asgfaslks ♥ Thannk you, Sarah!!!

I actually didn't wear accessories to school today because I was already running late, but then Sarah comes along and gives me a time turner out of nowhere and now I feel complete. My sister loves to make fun of me because there was this one time I was already headed out the door, but I came back because "I almost forgot to accessorize" (which was in reference to a bunch of tumblr posts).

It's kind of a shame that I'm wearing plaid today instead of tomorrow for #WinchesterWednesday. I woke up and it just felt like a Wednesday and I know it's stupid, deep down I knew it was Tuesday because of that midterm but you know how some days just feel like... Wednesdays? Now I feel like I'm in a never ending Tuesday (and I even woke up to Asia's "Heat of the Moment", too)!

These are one of my most favorite shoes but I rarely ever wear them because I'm not too sure how to pair it with my clothes. It's kind of a good thing I have a hat with the exact same shade of turquoise ♥

I also want to use this Time Turner to rewatch a lot of Doraemon episodes. I heard the new movie will be pretty sad and kind of like Toy Story 3.

When I got home, my dad brought out our owl (from my previous post) and I took the opportunity to snap a few photos.

Enjoy!

I went to school real late today because, honestly, I stayed up all night reading this amazing fic okay. It’s the type of fic that when you start reading it, you just know that it’s going to be real good and then you start having giggle fits everywhere.

By the time I finally woke up for realsies, I had enough time to kill before leaving for school. To put it simply, if I left at 12:30nn, then I would arrive in school during my break time and have an hour to kill before my next class. So instead of using that hour in school, I spent it doing god knows what at home. I think I actually started another long fic this morning, I don’t remember how long it would be, probably another 100k++ drarry fic with a sequel (though i’m not quite sure about it’s quality just yet). But no, really, I used up some of that time watching the local variety show and curling my hair!

Ok ok, i know. What a total bother and all that, but hey! I’ve always loved having curls. The thing about my hair is that it’s actually naturally bushy, unruly, curly, and frizzy, so as much as possible, i get it rebonded/straightened. But a few months after that whole ordeal, I can still curl the ends of my hair et voila prettiness level up!! How i wish i knew how to put on makeup too, but then I’d probably be too dolled up for school.

And hey, here’s a new angle of my backyard!! About my outfit, this top is my absolute fave because it kind of makes my upper body look proportional—does it?? I don’t know. And this skirt is actually a really poufy skort! Knowing that accidentally flashing someone is impossible with this “skirt” totally eases my mind because I ride the philippine public transportation everyday to school and sometimes that can be bothersome, especially if you have to resort to acrobatics just to get a ride.

Today was dedicated to alternative classes—it’s kinda that thing my university requires students to do where they enroll in a class/elective of their choice for one day.

The class I really wanted, however, was already full by the time I tried to enroll. So instead, I enrolled in Fancy Blogging 101 to hear Dominique Tiu (konichiwear.com) and Paul Chuapoco (paultheprguy.com) give tips about fashion blogging and whatnot. Because this was an afternoon seminar, I had the free time to sneak into my first choice: A Journey Beyond the Stars.

Imagine my surprise when I found out that the one of the organizers for the astronomy lecture was Gio (If you’ve read my past few text posts, you’d probably know who Gio is).

The astronomy lecture was beyond amazing. Granted that it was just a basic intro to astronomy lecture, it was still amazing because the speaker related it back to climate change (plus I really miss having science courses, and this was a pleasant change of pace from International Relations). Of course, I asked a lot of questions and probably surprised the speaker when I told him I wasn’t from the College of Science at all. They invited me to join the Philippine Astronomical Society, too!!

Then later, I got to meet two of the prominent blogger personalities of the country and omg they were so nice and attractive (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ Aaaa, but I’m not a fashion blogger though. I don’t really follow or talk about the trends strictly… I only wish to document the clothes I’ve worn (so I don’t accidentally repeat the same outfit next week).

After everything, I hung out at the library with Gio and we watched Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone on my iPad (it’s a good thing he doesn’t know about my blog because whoaa i am absolutely smitten with him).

I just realized how my outfit sort of incorporated my day’s schedule. It’s mainly about astronomy, eccentric pieces (my cape!!!), and Harry Potter afterwards. This is the reason why I love dressing up because when you actually take the time to think about what you’re going to wear, you’re basically thinking about what you’re going to tell the whole world. It’s another form of expression and another form of conversation starters.
