Everybody needs a pat in the back.

I'm halfway down to finishing my Foundation year. Am I happy? Of course I am. I am going into Degree first year in a couple of months! Well, that is if my result is good. As in, I pass all my units. I know I haven't updated my blog for quite some time now, so here's a quick update on it. There are lots to talk about, actually. But I'm going to specifically talk about this thing I've been doing for the past one hour. Be Inspired, Be an Inspiration. I am not sure if that phrase is out anywhere in this world. I'm sure it is, but I just thought of that like seconds before I typed it out. But anyway, if it's out in the media, lets just share the same phrase, alright? 

This semester is a really tough one, I must say. Piles of assignments, assessments every other two weeks, and a lot more things. Lately, I've been procrastinating because it makes me feel good. It's not that it ACTUALLY makes me feel good, but yeah. Not doing work is kind of surprisingly pleasurable, I must admit. So, I've decided to make my very own 'Need Some Inspiration' section in one of the pages in my book, or diary; it is called. I've been losing inspiration lately or whatever thing you call it. I thought that by having this in my book would push me maybe a little stronger to keep on studying.

By doing this, I expect to inspire myself; not in a self-centered way, but as in, if I don't push myself, who else would, right? And if anyone comes across this, they too, will be inspired! 

Wonder how I sound like in real life?

Day 30: A picture of yourself this day and 3 good things that happened since you started the challenge.

This photo was taken exactly today, March 14th 2012. Cause that's what the challenge for today requires me to do. And I have to talk about three good things that has happened to me since I started the challenge. Looking back, I don't see any 'good' things that has happened to me throughout this 30 day challenge. However, I am still going to say some of the things I consider 'good'.

I submitted an article online and it got published! Yay me! I know it isn't really a big thing or what so ever, but to me, it is actually an awesome thing to experience. It's like, some people actually read the things I write; besides my blog. Check it out! :)

Next, I think it's a good thing because I didn't gain any huge amount of weight since holiday started. I actually lose a few kilos in December & January. Should have continued working out up until today, but my ass is just too lazy to move. No, it's not my ass. It's just me. Since I am going back to college this weekend, I pledge to start my work out again!

Lastly, I updated my blog pretty often during the challenge, didn't I? YEEAAAHHH! :) I actually tried completing this 30 day thing even way before when I started 30 days ago, but I just can't seem to pass through it. So being said all that, I am proud of myself because I have actually done it! This calls for a celebration!

Day 29: 3 Wishes.

1st Wish: Travel to Europe and then the whole world.

I have started my own saving for my Eurotrip; which is to travel across Europe when I graduate from college later in 2015 (hopefully). I started it in December 2011, and only then have I realized that I should have started way earlier, probably even way back when I was still in high school. But it's okay, there's still plenty of time. This is not just a "simple" wish. I really want to travel to Europe and visit Germany, Paris, Italy, London, Holland and few others. Besides Europe, I've always wanted to visit Rio de Janeiro. Thought of going there in 2014 for World Cup, but it seems like somebody has classes to attend. Maybe some other time?

2nd Wish: Meet Pierre Bouvier from Simple Plan.

When I was younger, I have always thought that we would get married. My cousin and I actually made a 'wedding ceremony' for Pierre Bouvier and I when I was 9 or 10. But sadly, he wasn't there on 'our' wedding day. I know it's ridiculous, but he was my number 1 ultimate celebrity crush back then; up until today actually. No matter how old he is today, he is still as good looking as he was back when I first saw him (on tv) ten years ago. I wouldn't mind meeting the band actually, I am also a big fan of Simple Plan. But if I ever get the chance to be in the same room as they are, just give me five minutes, I'd die out of excitement and disbelief.

3rd Wish: Learn Spanish and German.

I know this is more like a goal or something, but yeah. It's a wish to me. My parents can speak Spanish as they have ancestral roots stating that they are somehow, have Spanish blood mixed in their Filipino veins. Lol. Not sure how low the percentage is, but yeah they do. And I, on the other hand, cannot speak the language but am able to understand. German? Yes, another language that I would love to learn. Everything sounds more complicated in German and that is an interesting thing to learn. I love Hitler, as an individual. There are so many interesting things about him despite the fact that he was the reason behind the outbreak of World War 2. Great man, I must admit. But just to make things clear, I am against him for being racist towards the Jews back in those days though. Okay, don't get me wrong! :)

Day 28: Something that stresses you out.

Uncooperative stuck-up human beings. People who expect things to be done without them doing anything at all. Especially in a group work. It's okay to rely on their group mates, but expecting them to do everything is just something I cannot tolerate with. Like, dude! It's unfair for you to have the same marks as to those who worked their asses out for that particular work. People who boss around is something, but people who just sit there doing nothing is another thing! I know almost everyone of you have experienced this, so I shall say no more because I reckon this is a really common thing to happen in life.

Day 27: Original photo of the city you live in.

I am really sorry I didn't manage to take an original photo of the city I'm living in. When I was browsing the challenges on the first day, I did actually try to consider going down town to take a photo of the 'town'. But, too bad. As you all know, I have been socially isolating myself due to my epic lazy syndrome. So, I hope that explains it. But, I wont disappoint you though. I searched on google, and I found a lot of photos of my city. But here's one. I promise you, I will take an original photo of the city I live in; maybe not very soon. But I will. Presenting the awesome

Kota Kinabalu!

I do not own the originality of this photo. Credits go to the owner.

I must admit that everything seems better at night, agree?

Day 26: Your dream wedding.

I have actually thought of my so-called 'dream wedding' already, back in high school. So here goes, I would like to have a really simple wedding. For me, it doesn't necessarily have to be about the celebration and what other people would think. If the wedding is grand and all sorts, it doesn't assure that the marriage will be fine. I am not talking about anyone's marriage in particular though. But having the thought of spending thousands of dollars just for ONE DAY? It is just utterly ridiculous, to me at least. Wait, we're getting out of topic. We're supposed to talk about my dream wedding.

I have the dream of getting married at the beach. Anywhere else besides the beach would be fine, like the garden, or at home, or anywhere (as long as it looks very home-ishly-garden). Seriously, I am fine with it. Whenever I tell people that I want to get married 'outside' the church, they start questioning me. Dear people who questioned me earlier about my intention to get married outside the church, I believe my wedding or my marriage is still blessed even if I don't get married inside of the church. If I can't come to the church, let the church come to me. Because if two or three are gathered in our Lord's name, He is present. So you know what I am saying, the 'church' you're talking about is a building. If all of us come together ON MY WEDDING DAY AT THE BEACH, it's okay! It doesn't mean God wont bless me.

I would also like to invite very few guests; just people who I am really closed with. I don't want to go around and see a lot of 'strangers' at my wedding. It's like, 'Really? When did we become friends? Oh, you know my cousin's brother's friend's sister who is already in Africa' kinda thing. It just doesn't make any sense! I would totally prefer having only 100 guests whom I know really well instead of 500 or more whom I barely even talk with during my entire existence on earth. Yes, wear anything you like. Be it a baggy shirt or a loose jeans, I don't mind. As long as you don't dress slutty, you are welcome (IF I KNOW YOU).

But the best thing I would want to happen on my wedding day is just to you know, have my family and friends around to share the joy with. But most importantly is to get on with the service; exchanging vows, the 'I do' moments between my future husband and I as well as the KISSING PART. LOL.

To sum it all up, just get me a ring, give me your words, love me for who I am, and our wedding? Yeah, make it simple. Bear in mind, I have nothing against people who celebrate their wedding grandly. I think it is awesome, if you have the cash. So don't go around saying "Celeste hates people who celebrate their wedding with a lot of people, a lot of food and bla bla bla." Just to make things straight, I DID NOT SAY THAT. Don't get your head mixed up. I clearly stated that I want a simple wedding, and this post has nothing to do with other people's wedding - AT ALL.
