Growing Up

I'm sure I have another post relating to this topic because this seems to pop up in my head a lot lately. But anyways, let's start. Yeah. Growing up, damn. You know when you were a little kid and people would ask you, "What do you wanna be when you're all grown up?" My question back is, when is it exactly a person is considered all grown up? If it's considered the legal age of 18, well ho-ho-hold your horses. I would like to bluntly disagree that I have no idea what I'm doing with my life. I honestly haven't really felt like I've aged since my 13th birthday, and that was five freaking years ago. Five! 365.25 days times 5. A pretty long time. I'm guessing this feeling is normal. Teenage angst, I suppose is what they call it. I hope someday it'll hit me. 'It' being what I really wanna be when I grow up, because even as a kid I never had an answer and all the decisions I've been making my whole life has been with my gut. So gut, I hope you're trustworthy.

The past few years my gut has gotten me to make some pretty big decisions. It told me to move to the Philippines all by my lonesome. To become a pharmacist. And it's most recent thing it's told me? To proceed on and become a Doctor. That's some pretty big stuff gut, not sure if I can handle it. But if my gut says so.....

Aah, who really knows. I hope I'm not the only one in this boat of confusion and unsureness though. I guess I should be expecting more re-occurrences of these emotions.  Hmph.

Meet My Friends

I don't post a lot. That's a fact. I rarely know what I really want to say, and if I do know what to say usually my opinions suffice under 120 characters so I just tweet (@93alyssamarie). Follow me on Twitter eh? ;}

^Shamelessly advertising.

Anyways, this post is gonna be dedicated to my friends, which literally put together spells CRRAP. Yes. It fits us rather well. So from now on, if I am to post more and I'm talking about me and my friends, this post should be a reference to all you readers.

Welp, there we are! Not fully complete though, the other R was taking the picture. But from left to right, I'll briefly describe us. First, we have P for Panjee, she is what I like to call the sophisticated intellect. Notice the proper posture as well. Very studious and determined. A total role model for the CAR following her. Get it? ;}

Next to Panjee, there I am! The A, the very essential letter to CRAP because I am the vowel. Without me they're only CPR, suffocating. Heehee. It's probably not fair that I'm describing myself but who cares. I am the aspiring musician/rockstar/the best person you will ever meet. And no, I didn't quote that from Mean Girls, I actually am the best person you will ever meet so heh.

After me, we have Connie! She has her own blog, and if you noticed I attached the link to her name so check her out! She posts a lot more often than me so she'll surprise you with new stuff on the daily, er weekly, er just a lot more than me for sure. For. Sure. Obviously she's the C in the acronym, and you can see by the looks of it that she's the happy, smiling, and always brightly colored unicorn. Though, I think she was saving her unicorn powers in this picture.. nonetheless she's the only one not wearing black. Therefore, positive energy:} Without her C, we'd only be RAP and no we are not from the hood. But we try to be...

And then, the farthest on the right is Raye. The R. The one that makes CRAP interesting because otherwise we'd just be CAP, and where's the fun in that? She keeps things amusing with her quirky, awkward, and misunderstood personality. And also her not so balanced stance. But now, let us not forget...

Raynard! The other R! The other one that keeps things exciting with his new food discoveries and simple yet funny yet curious personality. But as you can see in the picture he's saying, "Oh, stop it." Not very good at taking compliments :P And then there's also my arm.. hey arm.

So that's us! CRRAP, supah fresh, smelly, but totally necessary. If you mess with us, we literally will not take your crap so take it as a warning. A polite warning though:}

NewVibe/Cornetto/Manila/MeanGirls

I think it's pretty clear that I suck at keeping up with things. I posted in January promising new posts and what not, but now it's already March and this is only my 2nd post of the year. I'm not gonna do the usual and talk about time and how fast it goes, blahblahblah and be philosophical. You can go somewhere else for that, I'm sure. I'm actually gonna type out what's going through my mind. May it be pure complaints or something poetic. I mean it's the internet, who cares.

So now that's established. What's going through my mind now, you ask? Well dear internet, that seems to be the only good listener nowadays, I am thinking about ice cream. Yep, ice cream. The new white chocolate cornetto to be specific. Filipino readers will only know what that means. If you're reading this and you don't know, just research. Google is great. Anyways, yes. Ice cream. Also taco bell. I found out through twitter a couple hours ago that there's taco bell in Manila. Question, why is all the good stuff at Manila? And by the good stuff I mean all the American franchises that decided to come over to the fantastic Philippines and overprice their goods to the white papaya soap users because they're the only people here that can afford it, which is like what 12% of the population? Smh. I mean, excuse the too much information I'm giving (don't stalk me), I live in Davao. And Davao is just as cute as Manila. Davao is just as smart as Manila. People totally like Davao just as much as they like Manila. And since when did it become okay for just one city to have all the good stuff? Because that's not what the Philippines is about. I hope you got what I did there. I quoted Mean Girls. Except I did some word exchange. If you don't know what Mean Girls is, gtfo or go watch it and then come back. But I'm totally kidding (to those that do get it), I'm not that bitter towards Manila having everything...

2012

It's been months since I've posted last and we're almost 2/3rds into the month of January and almost 1/12th through the new year. Time never fails to go by so quickly. Anyways, this will just be a quick post. Letting you readers know, if there are any, that I'll try to post more starting today. But no promises. According to Paulo Coelho, "If you start out by promising what you don't even have yet, you'll lose your desire to work toward getting it." I'll try not to let you down!
