hi. i was counting my thoughts when you surprisingly passed by...

...and then i lost count.

i guess that's a poor pick-up line. but it wasn't meant to be one in the first place.

for your knowledge, i was referring to how many things i should've had posted here. unfortunately, for the umpteenth time, the schoolwork deities denied me any chances.

[which reminds me: i'm plugging another blog of mine, which before i purposely hid from the general public due to my fear for embarrassment and shame. it contains some of the paperwork that has given me fits ever since my first semester at the University i love. since it has also given my blog lots of lapses, perhaps i owe you, the reader, at least something... even if that be my dignity. the link's right here. but first, a warning: contents are visual and mental sleeping pills. proceed at your own risk. use only mainly for reference.]

anyway, my mom's leaving for italy today. her travel schedule could be as short as 15 days, but could extend up to three months. honestly, i don't know how to react just yet. just hours ago we were supposed to have a pizza party before she leaves; but apparently, when i arrived home my parents were already off on a taxi three minutes earlier. the pizza was also nowhere to be found.

oh well.

my parents also informed me two weeks ago that a cousin of mine will also be entering the University for the next academic year as a freshman. again, i hesitated on giving any kind of reaction. yeah, i was supposed to be happy for her. but... well, her pending case has not been resolved yet, as of presstime.

now that i mentioned presstime, i currently find myself hooked to the manga version of naruto. i finished ten or so volumes in less than a week, with all the time alloted for schoolwork accounted for. i'm currently 25 episodes away from the most recent chapter, and that comes out on friday, together with the anime version...

since i've been ranting about paperwork for about three or so entries by now, let me balance it out by introducing some fun into it. take this comprehensive and more-than-fairly accurate personality test - you'll be surprised. if the results don't appear the way you want it to be, then that time's your chance to self-reflect on your status quo... and perhaps change yourself accordingly, if necessary.

why recommend this? because through it i found out that i'm not just a "mysterious person who loves wearing very loose clothes," as a friend quipped, but am actually a very normal being who happens to wear loose clothing (ahh... the perks of being a psych major are immeasurable, ain't they? and isn't it obvious that i'm encouraging you to shift to the psych department? heh!).

whew. i guess that does it for now. a few reminders for myself (no need to read through these, guys):
