What a Journey It Has Been

Note: I don’t think this post can fully express how I feel about graduation. I’m not really good with words. But this is me trying.. :)

I still can’t believe I have graduated high school. Time really flies… fast. I feel like I’m still going to take the same route to the same school, see the same set of people, go to the same classroom, spend 8 hours with the same class, walk along the same hallways… and the list goes on. I guess it will start to sink in when school starts.. but I sort of don’t want it to sink in. :(

Get ready for post-sobbing + 4th year stress eyebags photos:  

I am so blessed to be placed in this amazing batch, Batch 2012, and meet these amazing people who have become my family and my home. Words can’t describe how amazing this batch is. I have to say that we are THE BEST BATCH EVER (sorry other batches, haha!). I am so blessed to be placed in this school, my home for 13 years, which has taught me so many lessons and gave me so many wonderful memories and experiences. My school and my batchmates, without them, I wouldn’t be who I am today. In fact, just to let all of you know, there wouldn’t even be Sophie’s Mom without them! My batchmates were our very first customers and pretty much started the whole thing. I owe it all to them. :)

Now, I can say that everything (all those never ending schoolwork, stress, zombie Sophie mode, no weekends, etc.) was worth it in the end. And sometimes we actually do get what we deserve. :)

Of course, I also thank my family who put me in this school and who have been working so hard to provide me with the best education. Also for their patience and understanding, especially when I am stuDYING and stressed! Haha!

And most importantly, I am forever grateful to God! Because without him, NONE of this is possible. Thank You for being my strength, hope and inspiration throughout this long journey. :)

Batch 2012, I know things will change. Definitely. But I hope we’ll never forget who we are and continue to dare to be radical. As a line of our batch song goes, “Don’t say goodbye, we’ll see each other again.” Hope we’ll never lose that bond even after years apart. :)

I love you Batch 2012. Long live all the magic we made. I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you. We will be remembered. 

Congratulations to my fellow graduates! Here’s to a new road! Here’s to COLLEGE!!!

P.S. Sorry for the semi-dramatic personal post! This is something I want to look back too one day. :)

P.P.S. My next posts are scheduled because I will be out of town for Holy Week. So just keep checking my site for new posts! ;) 

SET IT UP IS AMAZING!!

the acting is incredible. 

the main characters aren’t stereotypes.

everyone, even the side-characters have a freaking personality. 

the ‘best friends’ characters are AMAZING, they aren’t there just for exposure purposes, they actually make the plot evolve.

all these characters felt real, they all make mistakes and face consequences for those mistakes. 

the characters are relatable as hell.

also, the CHEMISTRY between the main characters is so fucking incredible and natural.

the plot might be predictable, but it’s so good, and so well written!!!

and the pacing is GREAT??? you don’t feel like there’s any part that was rushed, or that there’s a part that falls flat compared to the other????

it’s fun and cliche, but not too overly cliche you’ll roll your eyes. it’s the type of cliche that will make you happy and believe in happiness again. this movie will truly leave you with a smile on your face.

FUCKING AMAZING SOUNDTRACK. makes you want to fall in love.

if you love rom coms, and you want to watch one that isn’t a ‘so bad that is good’ rom com, ‘set it up’ will be the ‘so good that is FREAKING AMAZING’ rom com you’ve been waiting for. 

btw, IT WAS WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY WOMEN.

watch ‘set it up’ on netflix. it’s one of the best rom coms i’ve seen in years. i really think you won’t regret it.

A concept

Brian wanting to paint something awesome for noah and asking jude for help because let’s be honest the boy can’t even draw a straight line. And Jude gets so excited !!!! She gathers pamphlets and art books and tries to teach him a billion techniques he can’t even begin to comprehend and he’s just! so! lost! He spends a week working on 5 different sketches and “ohmygod jude they’re terrible, i’m terrible, i don’t know how you two do it, i should have sticked to sports. Do you think he’d like a signed ball??? Or maybe a telescope??” Oscar just laughs because god damn of course picasso would fall in love with a guy who can’t tell the difference between the color yellow and the color mustard. In the end, he ends up giving Noah a simple pencil drawing of him and noah star gazing with smudges all over bc he’s left handed and the struggle is real. he writes a tiny ‘i love you’ in the corner of the paper with a smiley face bc he’s a fucking dork like that and he’s so embarrased when he gives it to Noah like srsly he can’t even look at him. But even though it’s kinda terrible and it looks like it was done by a 9-year-old in sweetwine standards, Noah absolutely loves it. And late at night he stares at it and tries to hold back tears because jesus he has spent so much of his time drawing and painting the world and the people around him and no one besides his sister had ever taken the time to draw something JUST FOR HIM. and of course he spends the rest of the week grinning ,feeling like he’s walking on clouds and god he’s honestly considering having it framed????? and he’s so so glad he isn’t a horse because he loves that rock-collecting baseball-playing boy so damn much and he doesn’t know where he would be without him.

Candy Jar (2018)

types of people

shades of purple

lavender: oversized sweaters, stark contrasts, misunderstood jokes, loud laughter, pencil shading rubbing off on skin, overflowing emotions, appreciated nostalgia, star-gazing, late-night conversations

wisteria: adrenaline crashes, ocean mist, layering clothes, lighthearted games of truth or dare, messy hair, bubbly laughter from excess energy, the tired satisfaction of a full day

lilac: neon lights, bright cities, slightly smudged make-up, a fast beating heart, secret confessions, too-loud music, wide smiles between friends, freedom from deadlines, the ache of what could have been

mauve: comfortable silences, rainy days, organized shelves, discovering a new interest, hot tea, eye bags, getting lost in thought, absentminded singing, the epiphany that comes from understanding a concept

plum: smiling at a stranger, spontaneous conversations, winged eyeliner, total honesty, animated gestures, fluorescent lighting, stores at 2am, pinkie promises, holding hands, reminiscent stories, conversations about the future

amethyst: uncertain smiles, subtle exchanged glances, paint-stained hands, inside jokes, cups of coffee, multi-tasking, unspoken promises, a not-quite persistent yearning, shaky breaths, a constantly calm demeanor
