Embarrassing Things

Embarrassed is the feeling where you just want to turn into a puddle or just vanish at your spot at the very moment or pray that you go invisible or you just want to run away and go hide somewhere where no one wouldn't find you right?

I don't really remember anything from my childhood or even just a few hours ago, I'm not the kind of remembering type about my personal life. I didn't think I ever got embarrassed though. (Not really) But here are the moments I think I should be embarrassed of.

• Committing Typos

Typos ruining the vibe since the Hammurabi code we're invented. Sometimes I just tweet anything and then after I tweeted it I realize there is a typo so I just freak out a sec and proceed to deleting or correcting it. (I am slightly dyslexic) Also I edit things but just make it worse and make me look like I need to be arrested by the grammar police or something. Also in posting my drafts because it really is hard to proofread your own work and I just don't know why. Even if you've like proofread your work 3 times, then after you publish it and read it, you still see typos.

• Singing in public

I remember we individually needed to sing for our humanities class back in 2^nd year college. We needed to sing in front of the class. I remember I sounded like a fish. But I think that wasn't so bad though. I still sung in the right tune and right rhythm.

• Shopping with parents

I just hate this. I don't ever want to go buying things with my parents because they're like so choosy and everything. Plus they don't buy me books, they buy me clothes and shoes and stuff I don't want and I don't need. That's why if they have to go somewhere and all of us needs to go, I choose to be left behind at the house. I'd rather be Home Alone.

• Making a baby cry

When you are holding a baby and then they just burst out crying. Everybody looks at you like you've kicked a cute little kitten or something. That's why sometimes I don't like holding babies though I'm kinda addicted to their smell.

• Exam scores

This never gets old. If you get a score below the passing grade, you really ought to be embarrassed and do something to fix your life.

• Family

Sometimes, someone from your family just do something silly and embarrassing and they don't get embarrassed, it's you getting embarrassed for them.

Those are the embarrassing things I can think of, what are yours?

Truth About Me and College

So this is the post where I'm going to be honest about school and express my feeling on going back to college and gush about it.

This was the last summer I would have, you know. Since I'll not be experiencing the summer fun for the next 2 years or so. Why? Because there won't be summer breaks anymore during 3^rd year and 4^th year of Accountancy. We are going to basically like study Monday to Saturday, morning to evening, June to May, all throughout the next two years. So help me God. Anyway, school starts by Monday June 9. I DON'T WANT TO GO YET. I CANT GO YET. I AM NOT READY. I need vacation for 6 months, twice a year. I just don't want to deal with lessons and projects and assignments and just everything about school and college just yet. Sometimes I feel like I'm so done with school. Like “that'st it so freaking done of you school I just couldn't anymore”. I just want to get a job now and work and have money to buy books. I want the world to end so there will be no more school, you know just book scavenging and surviving.

I just can't put my brain and body to be prepared for school because I never will. I've been studying 16 years now, isn't that enough????! I'm just so tired. It feels like my brain cells are already deep-fried. Just 2 more years of schooling and studying but I feel like I don't want anymore. It just gives nothing but STRESS AND HEADACHE AND PAIN. If other says they're excited in going back to the university, oh wow what a hard-core liar. What's school got but crappy teachers and noisy and gossiping and pathetic students? I'd rather hibernate in my room with a billion of books and endless supply of food. Basically me at school: OH HEY MUGGLES. HELLO MUNDANES. HI MORTALS. WHATEVER PANSY CAKES. UGH SHUCKS AND SLINTHEADS. Imagine being swarmed with non book-reader monsters. Unbearable right? And I just don't care about people and school stuff. Me and those doesn't mix well. Like mixing a sweet food to a salty one. Who cares if other people are so proud about their popularity and intelligence at school? We'll all just gonna die anyway, what's the use? And I just don't care and I'm like, “Should I know you? Should I care about your life?” IF I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE I DON'T CARE! College is not fun. College is MORE STRESSFUL THAN HIGH SCHOOL. COLLEGE IS MORE STRESSFUL THAN ANYTHING YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE. So don't go to college! Kidding!

Especially Accounting! 4 ACCOUNTING SUBJECTS! Tobias accounting subjects! I don't know how I'm going to deal with that. I still don't know how to love Accounting. This isn't my field to be honest. I WANTED to take up Architecture/Creative Writing but because of old house oldies, I was pushed to study Accountancy. I was, because my Dad is a frustrated CPA. He didn't take his board exam which was major stupidity of him! And now he's letting us suffer of his frustration. I wish I didn't do what he wanted me to do 2 years ago. I wish I just disobeyed him and enrolled to whatever course I wanted to. Accounting is hard. That is a universal fact. Accounting is mind-blowing, mind-numbing, and heartbreaking. This is the most crucial year in Accountancy at our University. Third year. If you're not at your best well sorry. This time I say to Accounting that I AM NOT GOING TO BACK DOWN. You challenge me? SO BE IT! One thing I know is that I'd emerge as a victor.

I am only going to school just because the law requires me to. And Allowance. And so that I'll get a good job someday so I can sustain myself and buy all the books I ever wanted. So are you going back to school on Monday or not? Yes, but I say I'm not yet ready and I still don't want to go back. Not just yet.

Top Ten Tuesday #8

Top Ten Books in Beach Bag

I think this might be the last TTT that I'll be doing because school starts next week. (But I hope I still can cope up with you guys) Actually summer season had already passed here in the Philippines. It's the rainy season now. It'll be raining and there'll be storms and typhoons soon. But let's just put it this way-I'll just imagine it's still summer here and I'd go to the beach and relax or lighten up with my beach bag with some books in it. Here are the books I'd want in my beach bag!

1. What I Thought Was True by Huntley Fitzpatrick

Do you see where they're at? At the beach! So far I've read one book by Huntley and it's My Life Next Door. I loved Jase so much. He's so cute. And I really love Huntley's writing style, it's light and sweet, innocent and nice. And it's very relatable, all the quotes and the convos are very heartfelt and heartwarming. I have the book already but it's still on my bookshelf.

2. We We're Liars by E. Lockhart

Got really intrigued by this book because John Green actually recommended it. Even read Tahereh Mafi tweeted about it excitedly. So yeah, that's the reason I've grabbed this book. (And stuff it on my beach bag maybe)

3. Maybe One Day by Melissa Kantor

I first saw the book in the bookstore. I read the overview and it's about friendship and dealing with sickness. Like TFIOS. So I bought it. And of course you could see the girls facing the sea. So it's seems fitting to include the book on my beach bag, right?

4. Broken Hearts and Fences to Mend by Kate Finn

I participated with Fierce Reads Tour chat and I got to chat with the authors. Kate is one of the authors who chatted. Amazing how I got like 4 tweets from her. After the chat I immediately decided she's very nice and I'd love to give it a shot in reading her book.

5. Lola and The Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins

I haven't read any of Steph's books although sure I've heard a lot of reactions about her books and all I've been

hearing is good stuff and french boys. I've watch The Beach film by Leo DiCaprio and there's a french guy named Etienne there. I'm thinking the character in the book would be like him. And I know that French girls are the masters of seduction—I wonder if guys too. Haha. Soon, I'll read it soon.

6. This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer Smith

Jen's books are like the most romantic books in YA contemporary. All the elements of romance and teen love is in all of her books. I've read this but If I'm going to the beach I want to bring this with me so I can reread it. A lot of sweet moments of Graham and Ellie happened in the beach. I want to relieve those moments. And I want a Graham for myself.

7. Open Road Summer by Amy Sparling

I just downloaded a sample of the book on kindle. I haven't started reading it yet but the cover looks so good I really want to crack this open already. And yeah maybe at the beach I could.

8. The Art of Lainey by Paula Stokes

I've heard a lot of bloggers liking this book and I'm also skimming their reviews. I don't know but I don't question bloggers. I trust their reviews. Just by looking at the cover I think it'll be a good contemporary read and perfect for the beach.

9. Summer on the Short Bus by Bethan Crandell

Been wanting to read this since forever because A.G Howard said it's very good. A.G and Bethany are friends on twitter and are both nice and fab authors. So, yeah I just wanted to read this but I have no idea where I would buy a physical copy of it.

10. Stone Cold Touch by Jennifer Armentrout.

This isn't contemporary but a YA fantasy book. You know if you haven't read any of JLA's books, quit your life! Kidding. But seriously you NEED to read any of her books because you just need to. I don't like the cover because it's Zayn (I'm Team Roth) but it still looks so good! I like blue background. Reminds me of beaches and strolling at night in public fountains.

Have you noticed? (All the books have beaches in their covers, or you can feel the aura of the beach or the thought of beaches comes just by looking at them) That's all the books I could fit in my beach bag, tell me what are yours! Comment away and I'll check~
