Dear Electra,
I am DEAD from P.E! I am here in the hallway lining up and waiting for R.E. Lately I've been getting very angry at everyone for no reason. I may look like I've got nothing to do, but in my mind, everything is going CRAZY. Utter pandemonium is shooting throughout my brain. Being the introvert I am, I feel too bothered to talk to anyone, except you, because you don't talk back, and actually understand (well, at least I think you do).
For Regina and Gwen, there's another hiccup for us. For this weeks Natalie's Nook I was planning to interview them, but I couldn't because they've got some other people to worry about. Oh well, I don't care. Let them live their own lives. I have nothing to do with them. Oh no, that's how angry I am. Now I received the fury of heavy metal band members. Sick.
Let me vent out on my own now, excuse me.

My Future Plans - ♡ Natalie's Nook ♡ (17)
14/3/14 (meant to be posted on the 7th of March)
Hellooo!
On today's edition of Natalie's Nook I will share my future plans with you. Organisation is crucial to me, so I've already planned out my future.
1) Finish high school.
Oh high school, where life actually defines 'life'.
2) Receive a scholarship to a good university.
A hard point to tackle, but you've just gotta get what you WANT.
3) Major in psychology and minor in English.
Excited to study more about these two things.
4) Finish university.
Might take four years to accomplish, but seem like two months. Three if you major in engineering.
5) Get married in my local church.
Coming from a girl who is still in high school, it is very unusual to hear.
6) Choose career path as a cognitive psychologist and fiction novel author.
Been dreaming of becoming these two occupations ever since I've heard of the two words 'English' and 'behaviour'
7) Have kids.
If it's a boy, the husband will decide; and if it's a girl, I'll name her something close to Mercina or Mardovica;
8) Live life as it is.
I will settle in fine and keep on moving forward as I continue to live the rest of my journey ahead. Might even plan to take on more challenges.
What are you planning to do for your future? Remember to think carefully!

Letters to Electra - Stress Attack
12/3/14
Dear Electra,
I have a million things to do before bedtime, and it's killing me! It's near my bedtime now and I'm going to rush this letter.
Today I went on a pilgrimage with my class and another. It took an hour to get to the final church, and it killed me. I was struck with a case of boredom because I didn't have a device to listen to music with, but I managed to bring a book with me, and that brought another problem. I knew that if I read a book in a moving vehicle I would start to get really dizzy. So I decided to go look out the window, and think of thoughts that would pop up into my head instantly.
So far, all of my nights this week have been very full, and I don't usually have much time for leisure, like playing guitar, or studying Spanish.

Letters to Electra - Mercina
5/3/14
Dear Electra,
I can't stop humming to Lodovica Comello songs, but 'Otro Dia Mas' is complicated to hum. Wait, why am I writing about humming? Okay, I am supposed to write about my poster assessment for science, but I don't have a device or poster paper to put information down. My particular topic is about the life of stonefish. Stonefish are basically the devils of wildlife.
Yesterday after singing lessons I talked to the 'girl who played an important role in my life', and that person is my best friend from primary. Let's call her Mercina, because that's the first name that came into my head. We talked about what was happening so far in our lives, which seems dramatic, but we had to come up with a topic to talk about. I can't describe what it feels like to talk to a person who you haven't interacted with in a long time.
After I finished writing that paragraph, two of my classmates came to talk, and they noticed that Regina was seated with her new friend and not me. They made a song that makes fun of a girl and a boy sitting next to each other because Regina's friend was a boy. The song went like this:
Regina and ______ sitting on a tree
K.I.S.S.I.N.G
First comes love,
Then come marriage,
Then comes babies in a golden carriage.
Such an original song, right?
Oops, Angie is here. Gotta go before I explode into 1 million pieces.

February Favourites - ♡ Natalie's Nook ♡ (16)
2/3/14 (meant to be posted on Friday the 28th of Feb)
Ni Hao!
I can't believe that it's March already! To celebrate the end of a month I am going to share my favourite things I used throughout the time period. This is usually called 'Monthly Favourites' and is often talked about by most girls on Youtube.
My favourite album is Universo by Lodovica Comello. I've mentioned this album once on Letters to Electra and it has been my favourite album for a little while. What I like about this album is that it's in Spanish, and lots of you know that I'm learning the popular foreign language so I can expand my knowledge on the Spaniards that conquered the Philippines (my home country), and also that Lodovica Comello is one of my favourite Disney actresses and artists.
I haven't finished reading this particular book, but it still makes it my favourite book of this month. The Lucy Variations by Sara Zarr is a book that is about sixteen year old Lucy Beck-Moreau who has a desire to play the piano again ever since she stopped at fourteen. I can call this book girly because it has cliché morals and cheesy and dramatic meanings. Despite its flaws this book is very enjoyable to read.
I love looking at old pictures of my family and myself because you can really reflect upon how far you've come ever since that photo was taken.
This is a photo I took of myself at camp, three years ago:

My room mates and I were messing around at midnight and taking random 'selfies' (not yet a trend) with messy hair, tired eyes, and weird facial expressions. I was holding my rabbit Emily and Minnie Mouse. I bet that this will be my biggest regret in blogging, which is posting this photo of me with bed hair.
I haven't had much favourites throughout the month. Maybe I just forgot. Hehe!

Letters to Electra - The Capability of Music
26/2/14
Dear Electra,
I'm now in health, but we're not actually learning about health. Instead, we are watching the year nine-thirteen athletics. But since this is what I consider 'free time', I will write to you. My classmates are throwing popcorn and I can't stop singing. Regina is right next to me talking about the world (I can't interpret what she's saying because I am speaking to you) and watching the people sprint slowly or rapidly. You should see the sprinters' faces.
At lunchtime I went to the music suite and it felt so good to play the guitar and keyboard there. I felt a little bit lonely because I had decided to go to the suite instead of hanging out with the Three Musketeers. They were probably stalking Noah, Regina's new crush. I wonder how Gwen must've felt while me and Regina stalk our 'idols'.
Everytime I play musical instruments (despite that I can only play one) or sing I feel like Marina, Martina, Jorge, Lodovica, Charli, Mercedes, Elizabeth, and Ella are there hugging me and saying that underneath all that pain is happiness. Sounds cliché, I know, but it feels perfect.

A Reply to my Guardian Angel - ♡ Natalie's Nook ♡ (15)
Ciaooo!
Last year on the second edition of Natalie's Nook I wrote a letter about what my guardian angel would say to me. Today, I'm going to respond to that letter (isn't it weird to reply to a letter written by yourself?) reflecting upon what 'they' said to me.
Dear Guardian Angel,
It was very interesting to receive a letter from you unexpectedly. Have I really turned into a rebel? I should be cautious on who I hang out with. Everything has pretty much changed since last year. I guess it's the new year's fault, right? Yes, dear guardian angel. I will improve on treating others correctly. I'v learnt my lessons.
Hey, everybody makes mistakes! I'm glad that I got over it quickly. I was being extremely stupid and lost my sense of mind.
You are my friend! But you're more like the best-est friend I've ever had and will be better than my future ones. I already know you and thank you for coping with my horrible shenanigans.
Yes, guardian angel. I look forward to meeting you in the future. Thank you for letting me experience life to the fullest and for realising that nothing is perfect, but everything up above is.
Thank you for being there when I needed you.
