My life has been going up and down lately. Constantly grasping for air and catching it. Going on this infinite labyrinth that I'm stuck in-- But I'm never planning on leaving. My life lately had been this huge chunk of snowball stuck inside this avalanche. There were tons of problems and I know that we're going to resolve it. And guess what? It happened again. And it also got resolved. I don't even get my attitude, or even other people's attitude around me. It swept me away and landed me on a cold hard ground.

But all those sad news aren;t meant to depress you." Hey, Cheer Up!" Those are the words that I'm constantly chanting over and over again. I felt like a lot of my friends should be seen from a different angle before other people could judge them. It's weird that people want to make fake labels about fake things. It drives me mad.

November (And the past few months) taught me that every door that closes on you opens a new one. And you should take the steal. I'm currently enjoying life right now. just doing what I love and what i can do and what I am supposed to do. I tend to study more rather than doing irresponsible things. I can manage time wisely and I think it's a good thing... right?

Myself, and dad went on a shopping trip last November at Divisoria (which you can buy very very cool things for a super cheap price) I never enjoyed going there before (as a kid) but then I realized that It was full of wonder. *teehee* on that same day, we went to one of my relative's spa opening.

I have been studying and doing homework's (which I don't do much before hoho) and I have been constantly going out and about that same week. We get to visit one of our friend's who is stuck on this hospital because of dengue. (He's doing well now!)

My family also went to SM Mall Of Asia to watch the #Skechers10 Final Battle on the MOA Arena and the three of us got a ticket upgrade to V.I.P. *squeals*

And before the end of November, we had this thing called the "English Week". Every year has a new theme but this thing right here-- oh don't even get me started. The script was utterly well written. Oration, Declamation, Debate, Stage Play, Radio broadcastings and a whole lot more. The whole "Radioactive" thing made me think wayyy too much for 2 weeks before the exact week. I really want to watch this whole day program, but then we need to win to get tickets. So they held a debate battle in every single classrooms and the members of the winning team will get to watch the program. We won. But it turns out, we can only watch a part of the program. But since we had connections, we decided to take photos for the Literati club, and so, we stayed there for the whole day. Here's a little selfie of our class after the hectic day:

A couple of days passed and me and my friend, Kloe; decided to eat dinner at Tokyo Tokyo and roam around to find pandas and legos.

A day after that, I started to find my way back into the chocolate's loving arms. I've ben craving for sweets for a log time now. And I decided to take a little break from all these exercises and cheat for a couple of days.

And to wrap up the whole month, I accidentally bumped into a famous local basketball player (whom I longing to meet since before) and they told me to do the hashtag #KieferAtJamba when I post our selfie and I can win prizes afterwards if I was one of the chosen people. It turns out that the 5 of us won and I got a signed GC + a jamba juice tumbler. (Which made me very happy. :)) Thanks again, Jamba Juice!)

That pretty much sums up my whole November. I'm going to post 2 videos on my youtube channel this December and I hope that you'll go and wait for that :) And Lastly- I got to read Looking For Alaska this month andddd I never actually understood why Fifty Shades Of Gray was a great book, but I decided to read it anyway HAHA :)) I'm on the second book already and please don't freaking spoil me! ;) See you on the next post! Bye!

First off, I want to deeply apologize for the lack of posts. We had our Summative Test these past few weeks and I clearly need to study. I was actually supposed to post something before this, but it just ended up being there long with the other drafts I have created.

So, how are you guys? It's been awhile and a lot of crazy things happened in my life. (And I'm pretty sure that you experienced some-- too.)

On these "unexpected turn of events" type of roller coaster I'm currently in, needed a soundtrack of its own. After several albums, I quickly fell in love with this.

At first, I was contemplating on buying this album for myself. I wasn't really assure of the new stream that Taylor has been in since the Red Era. From country, to pop. What a big step. But I knew, I knew for myself that being a swiftie just goes with the flow and I treat all of Taylor's decisions with respect so I decided to get the album on iTunes.

I tried to familiarized it with my ears but It just didn't get it. I found out more about the deluxe edition on the physical copy and stuff. That's when I got pretty excited and I finally read between the lines and knew that this album was so much more than it really was.

Then, I fell in love with it. Slowly.... Then all at once.

There were so many speculations about the physical album here in our country. Which took me to the point that there was no chance of me getting the physical album with the 13 polaroids in one. There was a delay of stocks, the printing process isn't very good, there are no photos on the newest batch and so on and so forth.

I've had enough and decided to buy an imported copy from Japan. And after a week of waiting, It arrived in the mail.

I was very excited and I quickly grabbed the cutter to open the package and there it goes. Taylor's face covered with the numbers "1989". T.S. below and D.L.X. right beside it.

I sync-ed it into my laptop and listened to it. And to be honest, there wasn't a day were I didn't play the whole album in shuffle and on repeat. I quickly memorized all of the songs and tied my best not to over-kill my gadgets because of hitting the play button on and on.

I have to admit that the price is too pricey. P850 here on the Philippines (which is actually too much) but as I said, I wasn't really sure of buying it on here because there were problems with the stocks etc. Japan has it for about Y2000-3000 I think? Which is way too much when you converted it to Philippine Peso. But since I don't care too much about that and I only care about the music, let it be.
