June 6th, 2014: The RED Tour Manila happened. Like I said in my earlier post, this was the first concert I ever went to and the first time I have ever seen taylorswift. So I guess you would understand why I was screaming my head out and why I was shaking so badly my phone was on the verge of falling down. I just lost my chill and I’m not even sorry. :) Ah, the good old days.

PS, Taylor, please come back to the Philippines. PLEASE PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE. I’ll be here waiting for you, together with the other Filipino Swifties.

Spell Your Name with Songs

Basically, you have to spell your name with the titles of your favourite songs

So here we go.

R - Red by Taylor Swift I - I’m Not the Only One by Sam Smith K - Kiss the Girl by Ashley Tisdale (this is the version that I like) K - Kiss the Rain by Yiruma (I dunno if this is considered to be a song because it’s actually a piano piece, but whatever. Eheheheh) I - I Know Places by Taylor Swift

Today Inside the Science Library: The Attempt of a Fangirl Not to Fangirl

Me: *reading, blogging in Tumblr* Girl in front of me: *to the guy she's with* blah blah blah...Fearless. Me: *stops doing what I was doing* *perks up* *in my head* did she just say Fearless? The adjective or the song and album of my queen? Girl: Do you have Our Song? Permanent Marker? Me: *inside my head* OH MY GOD THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT. Okay, Rikki, calm down, don't fangirl on them, they don't know you, they will think you're crazy, they will call the police or the mental institution, just calm down. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. Girl: When was Permanent Marker released again? It was together with Fearless, right??? Me: OKAY, RIKKI, DON'T ANSWER, I REPEAT DON'T ANSWER. CONTROL YOURSELF. DO NOT FANGIRL. DO NOT FANGIRL, CALM DOWN, DON'T NERD OUT ON THEM, DON'T BE WEIRD, STOP IT YOU'RE IN PUBLIC, MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. DON'T FANGIRL. JUST. CALM. DOWNNNNNN. Jeez, who knew fangirling was such a tiring profession? 😂😜😀😆

AHAHAHA. This is me. All the damn time. 

I’m not even sorry.

The Disturbing Thought

The thought that in some parallel world, I hate Taylor Swift or reading unnerves me so much that I would end up staring into space and shuddering. Ugh.

A Curious Question

Guys, I wonder: is tumblr all you have or are you also active somewhere else, like Facebook or Twitter, but you just decided to focus more on Tumblr because it is literally more fun here? 

Yep, pretty much. <3 <3 <3 <3 

Rant on Stereotypes and Expectations

In my old high school, I was the only honor student who did not choose to take practical majors and degrees for the hopes of a fruitful career in the future. Most of the students in the honors list were taking up medicine and engineering, and when people asked me what I would be taking and I told them, “Creative Writing,” they looked at me with disappointment and said, “But you’re the valedictorian; that’s a total waste of your brain. What job will you get anyway in that major? What will you get from that?” Like, fuck this shit. I’m tired of this whole stereotype and expectations society bestows on students. Whoever told you that you could judge me by whatever major I choose? What if I told you I want to choose a degree out of passion rather than practicality because I love to write? What if I’m the valedictorian? Does that mean I should give up what I wanted to do for my life in exchange for what YOU and SOCIETY wanted for me? Are you serious? Leave me alone. I’m making decisions for myself for once in my life. Stop dictating me what to do. Stop ruining my dreams by saying I should be “more than just a writer.” Being a writer is what my hearts tells me, is EVERYTHING TO ME, and you should be supporting me for it. But no. You have to try to control me. Because you were not able to control your own life, you longed to control mine. I’m sorry, but no. I’m a free human in terms of what I want to pursue. I don’t want to be a scientist or a doctor or whatever you think I should be. I want to be a writer. That will never change. So, please, JUST PLEASE, stop making me the person I’m not. Just please. 

That awesome moment when all of my friends have tests to study for and I have none

Apparently, it seemed that I’m the only bookworm who is not really a big fan of John Green, and I’m the only introvert who doesn’t like to watch anime. 

Not that I had anything against those two. They’re just not my cup of tea.
