Been a bit busy. Two weeks ago I had a two-day retreat which was awesome, then had a stomach virus that sidelined me for a couple days since all I did was live in the bathroom, then trying to get ready for an exam.

Key word is trying because I keep meaning to study but I never do. :( And it didn't help that Roland Garros is underway, so I spend ( Read more... )

I haven't been posting as much as I want to. Hrmm. =\

To be frank, it's hard to get into the posting mood when my life, at least in the love department, is in shambles. You're trying to think of what to post, anything else BUT that, but I end up thinking of it more.

Anyway. I just took the IELTS again because the validity of my last exam expired ( Read more... )

• Valentine's Day is around the corner and the overwhelming amount of mush threatens to kill my sanity. So this begs the question -- is it impossible to exclude mush from love? Or at least have it in small amounts? Would such a relationship be dry and boring and fall apart? I am admittedly not a fan of fluff. I mean, yeah, sporadic moments of ( Read more... )

I haven't studied/practised/read one bit because after deciding I needed a nap and lying on bed, my friend (who will also be taking the exam tomorrow) sent me a text message asking me about tomorrow's dress code and she said she'll be doing the corporate attire already and I freaked out because I haven't shopped yet. So I asked someone else who had ( Read more... )

I swear, right after this I'm going to retreat to my table and start my last minute practice preparations for tomorrow's IELTS. But first I must bother you all with my, uh, dilemma ( Read more... )

Yeah. Mademoiselle Productive was a one-day thing. It seems that I have used up all my non-procrastination energy for that one day so starting yesterday up to late afternoon today, I have been slumming on the internet and doing nothing. Yay ( Read more... )

I slept early the night before last; went to bed at around 12 MN, so of course, I woke up early. Way early (even for my standards) at 7 AM. =\ I think I was having sleep hunger from that lack of sleep three nights ago, when I slept at past 3 AM and woke up at 9 AM and I napped an hour long twice yesterday ( Read more... )

I'm on the edge of having a full-blown tonsilitis and it sucks muchly. I've been gargling this solution that has 1% Lidocaine so it numbs my throat, and consequently my tongue as well so I can't taste anything. :| And so I've been feeling slightly feverish and weak and headache-y since this afternoon and my plan of reading up for IELTS was ruined ( Read more... )

Yeah. Really must practice. I just went to the official site and found this speaking sample, and since I'm all alone in the house at the moment, I went ahead and spoke by myself like loon and ugh. I am fluent enough with my English that I'm not stuttering at all, but the subject is terribly hard and uninteresting. We only get to pick the subject we ( Read more... )

A random nursery rhyme that just popped on my head, which I guess is fitting for this random post.

• As I said in the previous entry, we went out to eat because it was the 'rents anniversary. We ended up going to Saisaki, one of my favourite restaurants. I love it to bits because it's 1) an eat-all-you-can restaurant so that means 2) endless ( Read more... )
