Like Waterways

April Asuncion

I listen to the waves;

A song playing in replay

I hear your voice

in tamed dismay;

I listen to the waterways.

Like waterways

Your eyes give me 

a calm embrace;

I've never ever felt before;

A beautiful ma's allure.

Like waterways

I drift into vast outer space

I think of you like waterways

I know it is not there to stay;

I listen to it anyway. 

So here it is. The poem plus some of the photos I took while at the beach. It was such a unexpected day. I can't stress enough about the fact that I am surrounded with such amazing people who make everyday worth every risk. To tell you the truth, I've never ever felt so happy with school and friends like this. I'm just enjoying every bit of my semester. Not to mention my slowly activating crushing life lately. I feel so infinite these days.

I was scheduled to post this weeks ago. But Google's been a huge mess lately. I couldn't seem to post anything, so this came out late. I might post more in the next days. I've been busy with school, but ultimately, I've been reading your comments and tags. And I want to thank everybody who liked the giveaway! I can't thank you enough for the lovely comments about it. I just love you guys!

Here it is! Here it is! My very first Blog Giveaway! And I'm doing it with my dear friend Joanne who is at the same time my one and only refuge these days when it comes to blogging shenanigans.

We have a lot of pretty stuff in store for the lucky winner. To start off, there's this awesome red polka sweats I found on the thrift store. It has this pretty laced pattern at the back. It's a very rare find and it's very pretty so I decided I should include it here. Next, there's Joanne's awesome sweats pick too! It's a really pretty knitted ecru sweatshirt that feels really warm. The Like a Sir necklace is really hip, Joanne got it from an accessory shop here in Iloilo. Then, there's this online shop called Chuvachu OnlineShoppe, owned by Joanne herself with two more of our friends; they sell really cute stuff like bracelets, cellphone accessories, notepads and a lot more! They are sponsoring two more of the items.

This giveaway is open only to bloggers from the Philippines. It begins November 18, 2012 and ends on Christmas day! December 25, 2012. This is in celebration of my recent come back here in blogger, plus Joanne's relinking her blog.

a Rafflecopter giveaway

I've been so busy with school and other stuff lately. I can't imagine the next few days or weeks lol. Today I went to the beach with some friends. It was a spontaneous decision. They all took a dip except me cause I was wearing a pair of jeans lol. So I just sat on the shore and took some great photos, plus wrote a poem whilst listening to my most adored sound on earth! Crashing waaaavees! Achhhk. I swear this sound makes me go crazy. I feel like drifting into space everytime I hear waves. I'll post the photos plus the poem soon!

In the mean time, here's a photo of my pretty room ceiling here in the dormitory. Just cause even despite the busy schedule, I keep sleeping. Lol I missed one class yesterday because of sleeping (out of headache) FML.



We (roommates and I) did the Sweet Dreams lettering together during our Do Day last semester. It is an annual dormitory activity where everybody has to clean their rooms (plus the lobbies). Ahhh good times. 

That's all for now, au revoir!

So I’m finally back in blogging, but I’m also back in the mountains for school. Second semester is here and I’m not even sure I’m ready for it, but it’s still there, waiting for me with a sinister look on its face.



Look at him standing so mightily under the sun. Naked. I had to bear with this sight for three freaking hours while I was lining up for the cash office. Gaah you can just imagine.

But I finally got over the usual painstaking UP enrollment. This is my third year; sixth semester to be more exact but no, things aren’t getting any easier here. Everybody still has to climb (literally) mountains and line up for everything: paying, signing, heck they make you line up for printing form 5s! It’s lines lines lines everywhere! I wish there was an official UP twitter enrollment service that would update us on how the lines are going in diff offices. And the tweets would be like “The line in the Cash Office is finally subsiding. This is the perfect time to go and line up” or “The Humanities Division is now open. Better get your Temp Form 5 signed up by your adviser now!” Lol that would just be… plain awesome and brilliant.





I got bored in the line so I took pictures of my favorite leather slip-ons and my cute drawstring sling leather bag. I got it from the thrift store mom and I went to to go shopping the other day. I especially love the details towards the bottom!

So I finally got to leave home… and all the other good things I have access to when I'm at it.






Huhuhu. Goodbye awesome home food, hello crummy meals. Goodbye unlimited sleep, hello no sleep. Goodbye fast home internet connection, hello crappy dormitory wifi. Goodbye home. Goodbye home. Goodbye cookie the awesomest dog (though i hate dogs).



If there’s one thing I think I really love about going back here I guess it’s that I’m saying hi again to some friends, and awesome schoolworks. My semester is packed with awesome subjects and teachers I just can’t wait to start it! So yes, I guess I am ready.

Oh oh oh and.. It was my favorite little sister’s birthday yesterday. She just turned nine. I love her so much it’s sad I couldn’t celebrate her day with her. This is one of the reasons I hate being away, I miss a lot of family occassions it sucks.



Happy Birthday Alecx! <3 Isn't she just too cute?

The Blogger

Hi there. People call me by my birthmonth. It's pretty exciting really, my name. It's very deep, don't you think? Has so much meaning in it. Obviously, I love it so much. I am half teenager and half robot. I work like a pressure cooker. Some of my friends love that about me, most just don't really care. They love me anyway. Some days, I'm totally rad, most I just like to be normal. I wear blinders when I want to focus on something, which means I'm like leave me the frck alone I'm busy. I think that's rude, so I absolutely make sure to find time for some fun. I love burgers and quiet walks on shores. I have also recently discovered a love for cooking. Non-mainstream media is my jam.

I always find a beautiful kind of solitude in writing. It helps me think and rethink more often. This blog is intended for the thoughts I am sometimes too frightened, too brave, too arrogant, or too humble to speak. I like wallowing in my dangerous and sometimes mundane thoughts. This blog is intended for them, too. Also, some movie, music, and book reviews will be made from time to time. Oh and yes, the blog name is a fail pun attempt on my name and the word simplicity.
