Hello! It’s been ages since the last time I made a video compilation. So anyway, this time I had the chance. I’ve included the link of the video below that I uploaded on my youtube account. It’s all about my St. Louis state visit with my CHI friends!
Have fun watching🙂
Finally the sun showed up on Sunday! Sheena and I were able to visit the Shedd Aquarium. Though personally, I find it dull to visit aquariums—I mean, fish? 🙄—except for the dolphin shows or interactive activities with the animals. So yeah I didn’t even bother taking pictures of the fishes. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Add me guys on Snapchat if you wanna see my activities especially this coming months because SUMMER 💁🏼 and summer means SUN and sun means FUN. Lol.

Yours Truly,

Hello guys! Sorry for the short posts lately, I was not really inspired. I just wanted to say how hyped I am with what’s happening to me these past few weeks and for what’s gonna happen for the next couple of weeks. Here let me list down the things I’m looking forward to:
1. I-LEAD
Tomorrow will be the announcement for the qualified candidates to attend the 5-day leadership program in D.C. We wrote an essay about a leadership topic and then that’s it. I hope I get the chance to participate and if not, then better luck next time.
2. Phone
I also bought a new phone—don’t worry it’s not that expensive—for a few reasons. First, I want it. LOL I need not to buy a new phone but I figured I deserve a new few things especially I’m earning my OWN money. 🙂 Second, my current iPhone is locked so I couldn’t use any carrier here on the U.S. so not net which is really hard and complicated sometimes. Lastly, my phone’s starting to crank up since I’ve had it for three years now.
3. Phone Cases
I bought this adorable fur case, sticker, and wine case for my phone. I love it and I may have splurged on it but who cares.
1. Night Nation Run
This I cannot truly wait! It’s a 1st running music festival, you know, DJ’s be playing while you’re running at every station and at the end of the musical voyage there’s gonna be like a big party or something. It’s going to be so much fun, don’t you think so?! I’m doing it with Sheena so we better be ready to run a 5K.
3. Moving in with a new family
I’m gonna be moving out to this crappy house, finally! Oh my god, you guys don’t know anything but I have been living in a hell for months now. People here are so noisy, weird, and I don’t know if they’re even human. Possibly not! I mean like how can someone be so insensitive and play their music so fucking loud in morning and before freaking sleep time. Oh yesterday morning, I was still sleeping and dreaming when suddenly there’s this music blaring to the point where I thought I was dreaming about it then I woke up. Oh my gosh, so fucking rude damn it. DIEEEEEEE!
4. Indiana
State visit wohooo!
5. Lighthouses visit
My friend, who also happened to be an intern, planned this trip to visit the Lighthouses nearby Chicago—I’m not sure. Actually, there’s this CHI Squad that we created and the members are all interns from across the world. We kinda go together to different places when we had the chance. So now this trip, probably we’ll go the weekend after the run. Whew, my weekends are full!
1. St. Louis, Missouri
Spending a 3-day vacay in that state doing sightseeing and camping with CHI Squad. 🙂
2. Washington, D.C.
If I’m qualified for the program, then I can go to the capital of the United States. *fingers-crossed*
1. Duh, my birthday!
Seriously if you guys have any plans on staying here on the U.S. for more than a month, just make sure you’re not under 21 or else you’re gonna miss most of the fun—I mean if you’re aggressive like me.😂🙄 SO FINALLY, I’m turning 21! Did you guys know about wearing a sash and a crown when turning 21? No? Well it’s a thing here, maybe I should do it lol. 😏
Bitch, that’s gonna be me when the bartender asks for my I.D.
2. Niagara Falls
Still pending. But would it not be amazing to see the grand scenery of Niagara Falls?!
3. Color Run
Haven’t bought tickets we’re still thinking about it. Psyched!
1. Lollapalooza
It’s amazing how the tickets sold out fast. I had to wait for like two hours just to get past through the front gate and buy the tickets. But this is so far my most awaited event. I’m so ready! 💁🏼
2. Coldplay Concert
Sheen and I bought tix for their concert. We were aiming for a JB or Selena Gomez or Demi Lovato concert but the tickets were soaring and mostly were sold out anyway. Let’s rock! Lol okay they’re not exactly a rock and roll band. 😂 But hey, they’re not that bad.
3. Foam Glow 5K
Another run. Hell yeah! Sheena and I are a serious runner. 😂
4. Las Vegas, Nevada
O.M.G. I’m 21 by that time! 😏 NYEHHEHHHEHEHHEHEHE 😈 Need I say more? And what’s great about us going there, it’s a company paid. There is this CPE convention that accountants should attend in Vegas but who says we’re required to attend that boring lecture? Lol hopefully boss won’t require us to attend the lecture and let me and Sheena wander around the Sin City. Also, there is going to be a night/ball event or something because it’s our boss’s wedding anniversary. Grand, I know!
5. Page, Arizona
We might drive by the Antelope Canyon when we go to Las Vegas if we have chance.
I’ll stop here for now. I remember it’s Monday tomorrow. Good night guys!

Weirdest thing today is happening. My music’s on shuffle play and every song playing reminds me of him. I mean it’s like my damn phone knows exactly where to hit me.
Anyhow, I wanna start this thing called 100 Happy Days—it’s an eon thing I know haha. I won’t be doing the exact thing but maybe just write stuff about everyday. I was thinking maybe I won’t have titles like Day 1…Day 100, you know, cause that’s too mainstream. I will put those on my tags tho—you can see them at the left side of every post—for me to at least keep track of the days left. At the same time it will be my countdown until my last day here in Chicago. So expect to see me posting random shits here everyday lol.
259 til I say good bye to the city of Chi. But who’s counting? 🙂
Btw, I am totally pms-ing! I hate it. 😦 I am feeling a whole lot things today!!! Ugh.
Whatever. Babush.
Just had our Pre-Valentine’s lunch here at the office. We had salad, spaghetti, meatballs, cookies, chips, pizzas(as always) and sodas. Anyway, I’m not here to share my lunch experience. I’m here because somebody got this great big bouquet of roses and everyone’s cheering and teasing. Apparently, someone anonymous sent our co-worker the flowers and now she’s got the rest of the day to think about who this mystery guy is. 🙂 Man, that must feel great. I’ll live tho. 😛
You try so hard but it still haunts you.
NOTICE ME!
Today is my 4 year anniversary with WordPress and I finally decided to register a custom domain name for my site. I was kinda thinking of registering it to my name but I digressed cause I mean I’ve been with this name ‘simplicityismymiddle’ for four years now. I’m sentimental, I know lol. So that’s all for now. Just dropping by to say hello and greet myself Happy Anniversary with WordPress! 🙂
YAY!
P.S. I’ll be posting a lot of Chicago stuff soon. :p
I officially welcome 2016. Happy New Year from Chicago! I can’t stressed enough how grateful I am for 2015. I have this two great things that happened this 2015. First, I graduated from my 4 year degree course and march at the age of 19. 🙂 Second, six months after I packed my things and went to Chicago. Man, I’ve never been so happy.
No more resolutions lol it just doesn’t work for me. But I’ll try to be more positive and keep looking forward to everyday. Carpe Diem, right?
So here’s to a new year…Keep dreaming and don’t stop just because you think it’s impossible. Your actions are directed towards your dream so keep going darling cause you’re on the right track. Have a good one!
I woke up half an hour ago and can’t sleep since then even though I just drifted off 5 hours ago. Anyway, I decided to just open my laptop and see what I can do and this apparently is what I am doing right now.
It’s been more than a month since I came to Chicago. 🙂 Yes, and I still have 12 months here to go. I’m not homesick and never was since I first came here. It’s weird? I don’t know. Maybe because this is what I wanted in my life since god knows when: to explore and be away with people I know. Don’t get me wrong, I love my family more than anything but for me it just doesn’t mean getting to see them everyday. I talk to them everyday, if you’re wondering. I’m loving my life here except well the weather lol. The first time I set foot outside the airport it’s so freakin cold I almost wished to go back. 😅 But everyday, I learn to love and accept the abnormality of the weather here although there’s not a day I don’t say “Oh my god, it’s cold today”.
Anyway, that’s all for now. My moment for writing just flew out of my body lol.
I am fat today! No seriously, I am really getting fat! I am turning myself into something I don’t ever wanna be. HAHA. Anyway, things are a little bit getting okay. Though not saying completely okay bc I know how fucked up emotions can be. One minute you’re feeling awesome and cool and the next minute you’re begging yourself to that person. Ugh, I know. Maybe I am just being too much comfortable with the situation that’s why instead of getting pretty and slim I am drawn towards the opposite. Yeah, usually when something bad happens, I observed that I try to make myself feel better by dressing up and toning my body lol shut up I am sure you guys do the same thing. But not for me this time, my god I wish the aftereffect was me being transformed into a swan goddess instead of a pig ready for butcher. 😒
Can’t sleep so I busied myself looking at the old photographs stored on my lappy! Haha! It’s so funny looking at how I was back then. Even my friends looked funny and innocent. 🙂
Pretending so much to be happy when I’m rotting on the inside. I don’t know what it is that I’m still asking for. I mean I already heard the good news and that alone should make me jump and scream of happiness. But no, instead I feel down. Maybe this is what they call graduation jitters. I’m scared for what’s ahead of me. I don’t see myself doing good in my life. I feel blank like uncertainty of what future holds.
Honestly though, I think I know the reason why I’m miserable at the moment. I just don’t want to admit it. But I’m fine, so much fine. So much that I could cry at any moment. I actually think there’s a lump stuck in my throat. I could be walking down the street and shed tears without any warning. I could be looking at the mirror smiling and crying at the same time yet no one will ever know it’s not tears of joy. I could look like I’m paying attention but I’m actually spacing out. Does that even sound like fine to anyone? 😂 I’m going cray!
I don’t want to be locked up in the house. My room isn’t exactly a therapeutic place either. I have dark orange curtains and a speaker that blares suicidal music so yeah it’s not helping. And I can’t go out at night just whenever and wherever I want. I’m not exactly a free bird. I mean I can be if I want to but the last time I did it, it was for someone and you know when someone doesn’t appreciate the risks that you do so you just stop bc you’re just human and it’s not like you’re asking something in return but a little love would be appreciated. But oh well, I’m done risking for a while. 😊
This is getting out of hand.
I wish to disappear.
Good night.
Hello! I’m starting to get really worried about my life here. I can’t seem to have a proper sleep every night. And all throughout the day, I resembled like a living zombie. Even now, as I’m typing this my eyes are starting to droop downwards and the weariness is now creeping inside me. But I have to finish some things and yeah okay you may be wondering why I’m still here wasting my time instead of doing it na. I just get that feeling sometimes, you know, it makes me feel better after I’ve let my thoughts out. Even if it’s just a little comfort. 😉 So anyway, today I had my three exams seven more to go. Hell yeah! Tomorrow another one and another for the next couple of days, I’ll be out of everyone’s way and be busy with requirements and stuff. I’m just hoping for everyone to pass this semester and be over with this.
My eyeeees are starting to get really really…sorry cant think of anythingxto say dnow. Night*YAAAAAWN* that was the biggest yawn of my life.
I wanted to write down
exactly what I felt
but somehow
the paper stayed empty
And I could not have described it any better
