#DU30SONA

Manila Bulletin was kind enough to compile some of our President's lines during yesterday's SONA. This is for all the 'busy' people who didn't get to catch the speech live and doesn't have time to watch it online yet. Basically, people like me hehe. 

By the way, these lines aren't in order and I have no idea which one came first. Not that it matters anyway...

My favorite. Because hugot. Haha

This one I love too. Because bashers. lol

Throwback Thursday: Batch Probers

Once my high school Research teacher finds out that I had all the time in the world to make this blog entry instead of sending a reply to her Facebook message, all hell will break loose. However, there is a very slim chance she knows about this whole world called Blogger. Sorry Ma'am F! 

Anyhoo, there is a reason why I suddenly unearthed these photos from the old and dusty baul. The annual homecoming is happening in a few days and my friends and I are going to pull off a no-show. So here's a letter from my friends/batchmates and I:

Dear teachers and fellow alumni, 

      We won't be able to participate in this year's events. So in behalf of my beautiful and handsome

      batchmates, can I interest you in a set of throwback photos? Hehe

Here's an Octave original: a hilarious caricature of all her classmates! Haha. We belong to the Bato section or as we'd like to call it, the ROCKers. You can find me in there somewhere but I won't give any clues. ;) 

The iconic Episode shoot with the Bebz! (minus Raruy, Riza and mommy). There's no photoshoot ever more epic than the P180 package from Episode! 6 wallet sized copies. Two 4Rs. One blowout picture. Thank you Episode for all your services. You are missed. 

RISE

The Rio Olympics is in a few weeks and Katy just released this NBC anthem for this year. Brilliant. Inspiring. Goosebumps-inducing.

Also and most importantly, this song (and her tweet) is a very timely subtle sideswipe in the thick of this whole Taylor-Kim-Kanye saga.

Genius.

Never change, Katy. Never change.

The Nathan Riggs Effect

Haaaaayyyyy.

Why does this post makes me all giddy?! It's been months since the last episode of season 12 and I still feel so very kilig at the thought of #Merriggs. (Okay I'm not sure what their official hashtag is) I knew this was coming the first time this unassuming and ruggedly handsome guy walked into that ER! And I am so over the moon that after all the drama Shonda Rhimes has put me through this season (all the seasons actually), they finally had their chance!

You have no idea how emotionally invested I am with this series. This has been my longest relationship so far haha! I mean I LOVED team MerDer so much and I cried buckets and more when McDreamy was killed off, but I have come to terms with them not having their happy ending after a whole lot of denial and bargaining stages on twitter.

So it's finally time for #Merriggs. Uhmm I am waaaay ahead of myself here but here's to hoping this 'boat' will finally sail because I SHIP IT!

Kindness

"In a world where you can be anything, be kind.

Up and Up

This week's humpday vibes is brought to you by one of my favorites, Coldplay. 

Fixing up a car to drive in it again
Searching for the water, hoping for the rain
Up and up
Up and up

Down upon the canvas, working meal to meal
Waiting for a chance to pick on your orange field
Up and up
Up and up

See a pearl form a diamond in the rough
See a bird soaring high above the flood
It's in your blood
It's in your blood

Underneath the storm, an umbrella is saying,
"Sitting with the poison takes away the pain."
Up and up
Up and up, saying

We're gonna get it, get it together right now
Gonna get it, get it together somehow
Gonna get it, get it together and flower
We're gonna get it, get it together, I know
Gonna get it, get it together and flow
Gonna get it, get it together and go
Up and up and up

Lying in the gutter, aiming for the moon
Trying to empty out the ocean with a spoon
Up and up
Up and up

How come people suffer? How come people part?
How come people struggle? How come people break your heart?
Break your heart, oh

Yes, I wanna grow, yes, I wanna feel
Yes, I wanna know, show me how to heal it up
Heal it up, oh

Try and see the forest, there in every seed
Angels in the marble waiting to be freed
Just need love
Just need love

When the going is rough, saying

We're gonna get it, get it together right now
Gonna get it, get it together somehow
Gonna get it, get it together and flower
We're gonna get it, get it together, I know
Gonna get it, get it together and flow
Gonna get it, get it together and go

But you can say what is, or fight for it
Close your mind or take a risk
You can say, "It's mine," and clench your fist
Or see each sunrise as a gift

[2x]
We're gonna get it, get it together right now
Gonna get it, get it together somehow
Gonna get it, get it together and flower
We're gonna get it, get it together, I know
Gonna get it, get it together and flow
Gonna get it, get it together and go

Up and up and up

Oh

Fixing up a car to drive in it again
When you're in pain, when you think you've had enough
Don't ever give up
Don't ever give up

Believe in love

My June 2016

Thank you for the memories, June!
