Vicious: Exams & Cultural Festivities

Ever since my exams have commenced, I have been deprived of my personal time. But it's over now, well at least the stressful part (chem, IT, methods). All that's left now are the 2D art and commerce exams. Easy breezy.

I've finally been able to watch the Death Note movies, and I must say, I had fallen in love with 'L'. Nothing significant. I'm currently going through a The Cure/Red Hot Chili Peppers/Bread/Nirvana phase.

I'm in a rather placid and content mood, although my Internet connection may ruin it all for me as it continues to fail. *Maniacally shakes fist*

Lately I've been planning on what to write on my end-of-year blog regards concluding 2009. Interesting things have happened this year, and alike everyone else, I've changed. I've changed far more than I actually intended to from the start. But even though there were interesting aspects to the year, I feel as though it could be much better and enjoyable. I spent a majority of 2009 moping and sulking about for reasons unknown; living life unsociably. This was until I received a good, hard slap from reality saying, "You're in serious need of a life." Of course, I responded and made drastic changes.

Speaking of changes, there are also things I've done that I've never experienced before. I partied like

never before, unintentionally participated in school tours/assemblies, took drugs, stayed clean of drugs, got drunk at a party, didn't get drunk at another party and felt overwhelmed about it, did my best in school, got 99.5% on my methods exam, smoked a bong, got facial piercings, dyed my hair, grew independent, accepted a job offer, cried my heart out, cried because I didn't understand certain question in trigonometric functions, laughed my face off, made many friends, struggled with a caffeine addiction, learned to love my family (especially my parents) unconditionally despite the long-distances, and lots more.

So moving on to cultural festivities, the annual Filipino Fiesta (Festival) is held as it usually does... Annually. Same venue, same month, same everything. Everything as in the barbeques, the bumper cars, ride simulator, the fish balls, showcases, the silly string, the water guns, celebrity appearances... It's not much different to the past years. But it still is an event where we, as a cultural community (you don't have to be Filipino to go), are able to gather and celebrate just for the sake of it. How many times a year are we able to do this? One. It's also a great opportunity to meet up with people you haven't seen in years...

Obviously, I'm waffling on about what to right. Wow, I uploaded stacks of images in this one blog. :) I guess it's to make up for the blogs I didn't upload any images for. Lame, but it makes sense to me.
