Goodness gracious! So you know, back in my day, there was Tumblr. If I have to compare it to anything now, it’s like Pinterest. You know, some definitely have personal accounts but for most of us, it’s blogging minus the commitment. Anyways,
I started blogging with Tumblr in December 2009 and my last post was in April 2014. So basically I was with this site from age 18-22. Sooo young, huh? Also, my handler then was PERIPHERALSMILE.TUMBLR.COM. Just sayin’. So
yeah here we go.

15. The Witty Stuff

OMG, right? Like, what if?

14. Food 

Basically of cakes, cookies, sweet stuff, Korean food, and pizza. I’m very predictable. 

13. Art

I’m not even much of a fan now. I mean, sometimes.

12. Life

Because we all think of this once in a while. And it’s okay. 

11. Words of Wisdom

You see, Tumblr is not always about dark/heavy stuff. 

10. Cute Boys

Francisco Lachowski, everybody. 

9. Vintage Looking Flowers

This is soo nice! Something I’d do when I set up my own clinical laboratory. Or you know, just hang a picture of it.

8. KPOP stuff

I liked them then, I still like them now. Some things last (a very long time). 

7. Ballet Stuff

I find ballet pictures very calming for some reason. They’re just very composed. 

6. Nail Polish Stuff

Chunky Glitter Polish for life!

5. Shoes

I can’t believe I posted soo many shoe stuff. Don’t get me wrong though, I like me some shoes! But man, I won’t even dare wear half the shoes that I posted. What was I thinking?

4. Football Stuff

Actually stopped watching few years after Spain won the World Cup. 

3. Fashion in General

Though I may have posted some dresses I won’t even wear now, these I want to grab and replace my wardrobe with. Or is it too much for my age? I’m old. 

2. Harry Potter Stuff

I think this post was before I was even sorted to Slytherin. I wouldn’t probably get the Death Mark as a tattoo but you know, can’t say I don’t find it charming. 

1. The Eiffel Tower

I mean, of course I did. 

10/05/2013 - I dreamt I went to Paris with my cousin and sister. It looks fake in the dream though but will tell you guys anyway. So I was with my cousin and I don't really know where we're heading but then after some time, with people who were coming down from the stairs, I realized we're in Paris and will go up the Eiffel Tower. Weird because I can see my neighbors going down the stairs and it's like normal stairs and not the stairs the Tower actually has.

And then we realized we have passes but then in my dream, you still have to have an electronic card for some reason and then you can use the card for like ever and then when I saw my childhood friend's brother go down, he very kindly gave me two electronic cards. So that would mean we could go up now. But then what did we decide to do? Eat! I remember taking pictures from the ground and you know how I know it's fake? Because the Tower that I saw is between two tall buildings! Like, what?

I remember taking photos of this one and I made sure to take a lot because it's Paris and I don't know when I can come back and stuff and yeah. I was even thinking that I were in Vegas that time but then I was like, NO! Paris, PARIS, PARIS! LOL.

So we entered a mall and decided to eat and my cousin even have the guts to shop for candies! So I remember having Shaved Ice and then I saw my sister enter the mall and eat. And then I asked if she have the electronic card but I can't remember her answer. And then when we were about to go out, I woke up. I'm subconsciously blaming my cousin's candy shopping that we were not able to go up the tower. 

Well actually, I went to SM Manila thinking I would try French Bakery's Macaroons but unfortunately, they don't sell it there or they probably run out of it or something but that macaroon tasting didn't happen so I was like roaming around and then searching for a tea/coffee/yogurt place instead and voila! Saw this little tea place beside the cinema. I was like, so going there!! I'm a lucky soul. 

So luckily, I brought my notes with me and I decided to study a little bit whilst I was there. And what I like about this place is that when I take a brake or whenever I would look up just to rest my neck, I would see this art piece and then I would feel the determination rushing through my veins. Like, no joke. Maybe  all I need is an art like this and post it on my wall as well. Mmm... 

I got a Blueberry Yogurt which was awesome! But like any other yogurt drink, it doesn't taste right anymore after many sips so yeah. You know like when it's too bitter already like, on the tongue? No?

Well actually, this is just a Paris appreciation post. Haha and a little bit of The Devil Wears Prada review. I downloaded it this week and was able to watch it the other day so let's keep moving, shall we? We shall. Okay my thought after watching the movie. It actually really inspired me to pursue my dreams. Whatever that is. Okay this is kind of vague but I got it. I got it. Or at least I think.

The Devil Wears Prada approves that Paris is the biggest deal of the year so whatever and for some reason, I can really identify with Andrea pretty much. The main story is that she got hired to be Miranda's assistant in New York and even though it isn't an easy job (AT ALL), and she's not really into fashion (when she applied) she stayed and worked hard because she had a vision. A vision of meeting other people through the job. Other people that might get her somewhere else. Good thinking. I really think that her dream to be a journalist is the same as my dream to travel. So it's almost the same. I don't really mind what work I should do and stuff. As long as it would take me to the places I want to be, then be it. 

Paris isn't sported as much in the film as much as I wanted to but I was able to pick up some life lessons and that's just awesome. Paris at night is a win-win though. Me likey. There should be more films showing the beautiful city at night. Midnight in Paris is one but that's like so midnight that I didn't really appreciate the lights and stuff anymore. Although I did love the vintage feel of it.

My favorite character got to be Emily, I think. Because she's so dedicated and she even helped Andrea to survive that job at the beginning. And she likes Paris. I don't know if this is a bad thing or good thing but I don't see myself as Miranda Priestly as much. Sure I used to want to own a fashion company but now I actually can see myself more being Andrea. Mmm...I just think that being Miranda is like being in control of everything. It can be good or bad though.  If you're in control, then you can do everything you want without having to consider other's opinion. It's also a bad thing for me because it might get a little one sided and if all else fails, you know that it's you to blame. And knowing that you can control the situation, you would probably just blame someone else. Which once again, you can. So yeah. Although Miranda's  character is somehow likeable, I can't understand her completely. I love that she wants the best for her twins though. Let alone that unpublished Harry Potter manuscript. OMG! So yeah. At the end, Andrea found a job that's more of her style and she said she learned a lot from her previous job and that's what I want as well. Learn. Good vibes! 

Before I Die's Tumblr is actually all over and tonight, I thought, I should take a look at it and pick my top 10! It doesn't necessarily mean that these 10 are all I want to do in life and stuff but you know, just a representative of the stuff I want to do. And since I'm already 21 now, I probably should get started with these. Like, at least 2 goals a year. Well, ideally, yeah. And this is in no particular order guys. :)

This is actually our plan ever since. Like, we will get a condo and live together like live the life there and all that and yeah quite excited for that! 

I'm actually a fan of Harry Potter so this is really part of the plan. Quite excited for this! Soon! Soon! In conjunction with this, I also want to go to King's Cross Station and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

I like football. And I'd love to support my countries. Probably not in Brazil this 2014. Maybe in Russia and/or Qatar. Or maybe after that. It can get so pricey though but you know! Wish me luck. I need it. LOL. 

Inspired by Youtubers Trisha Paytas and beautifymeeh, I'm gonna do this tag as well. This is kind of different though because you know, you actually wouldn't be able to see how an app works or whatever. But anyways, that wouldn't stop me from doing this tag. Haha

Basically, they showed the apps they downloaded and stuff so that's what I'm gonna do as well.

This is how my phone looks like. My iPhone is actually black but my awesome tita sent me some screen protectors and one of them is this. Which I find really awesome because you know, change is good.

I have three pages of apps on my phone and the first page looks something like this. You know, my friends borrow my phone all the time and I feel like we're friends so I'm gonna let you borrow my phone too. Okay let's proceed. Haha

These are just the default apps that came with the phone. Well, most of it. I downloaded my productivity folder which has PDF FILE READER LITE and FILES which I use to transfer school files from somewhere straight to my phone. It's really convenient to actually be able to open a file anywhere. So yeah.

Also, I have an EMOJI for cute emoticons and then CONVERTER+ which I seldom use but kind of helpful to convert currencies, time, systems, and all other stuff. And then my Newsstand is empty because you know, whatever. And there's my first page.

I also would want to discuss a little bit about the four icons that you see below. I actually put them there not because they're the most abused but I just feel like I need them the most so in case of emergency or whatever, I need not go to the page where they're in just to access them. I used to use WHATSAPP a lot before but now, nah. I miss it though. K bye.

My second page is like, my social media apps. SOCIAL MEDIA? Hahaha okay these are connectivity apps that I actually downloaded because of peers. But mostly, my auntie made me download it because she have them too.

Except for BLOGGER that I use for blogging on the go. Obviously. I actually am not a big fan of BLOGGER FOR MOBILE because it kind of lacks function in some ways but generally okay for blogging purposes.

NUFFNANG X which I open occasionally or when I feel like it. Because for some reason, I'm still confused. I don't know how to actually use it. Or I'm just probably used to opening blogs manually if that makes sense.

I have FACEBOOK, TWITTER, PINTEREST, SKYPE, WE HEART IT, AND TUMBLR which I all open regularly and probably the most abused apps in my phone. PROBABLY.

I have LINE which my mom use to remind me to turn off the lights, WI-FI or whatsoever reminder of the day so it's kind of useful too. At least for me. All others are probably irrelevant so never mind them.

The last page looks something like this. I have OPERA MINI, my games which I will talk about a little later, some health stuff, my photo apps which I would also be talking about later, KAKAOTALK which I really really appreciate for some reason. I have CNN to actually read news whenever some interesting news headline pops out. Which is like not so often.

I have some SILVA RELAX and RELAX which I don't know which exactly is which but both makes me sleep. Then I have YOUTUBE which where I usually watch my subscriptions.

And then you all now my EARTHCAM app which I really adore for being able to show me my LA TOUR DE EIFFEL. And then my references which are mostly foreign languages or stuff you know.

And then GLOBEREWARDS which I also rarely use. Not really that important of an app.

These are the games I play. I'm pretty proud of these games LOL. My friends say that my phone is boring because I only have a limited choices but you know, phones shouldn't be toys. SAYS NO ONE EVER. Really though. Haha

I have TEMPLERUN which I don't play anymore and I should probably download TEMPLERUN 2 already because of good reviews and all that.

I have PROGNOSIS which is basically a game where you play the doctor which I really really like.

I have BLITZ which my friends say is very predictable and boring. I play this the most.

LOGOSQUIZ which I don't like that much.

I have BAKERY STORY which I love! :) FLOW which is okay.

FRUIT POP! is like my current addiction. CANDY CRUSH not that great. And I have WORDS FREE, SCRAMBLE FREE, and DRAW FREE which I like playing when I'm feeling a little competitive.

INSTAGRAM I use mainly for stalking beautiful, awesome, famous people which are mostly my friends. Haha just kidding.

And all other stuff for like, collage, and stuff.

KAKAOSTORY is an app for photo sharing which I hope would be more famous than Instagram because it doesn't cut your pictures to awkward squares. If you know what I mean. If not, never mind. This is like a good app if you don't want your picture cut in half or whatever. So it puts filter as is. Which is awesome. The thing is you can only add or follow people from your KAKAOTALK. Sucks. K.

Okay enough of the apps now. Can I just say that I'm proud of my wallpaper? Hahaha that's all.

Oh and before I forget, this is how my lock screen looks like. I actually changed it this year from Paris to Ben Tower. Oh well that's all. Take care.

Like, the apocalypse didn't happen. Well not that I actually believe it will but things like that can't be avoided. It's not like we have a contract to finish here on Earth. We will leave here if time comes. It's REALITY.

Want to know what we did? Like, we were actually on duty that night before the 21st and we happily welcomed it and actually exchaged gifts like a boss. Hahaha

On 2040, it was recently said that the asteroid would actually miss the Earth. It was predicted beforehand that there would be a 0.2% chance of it hitting it. But are we sure? I'm not superstitious or anything but that 0.2% happens every time. Every second, every minute, every hour. That danger is real. But that doesn't mean we have to live in fear. That doesn't mean that we actually have to be so paranoid that something might fall over our head and kill us. With that being said, we shouldn't be afraid to take risks.

What if the most awaited moment of our life is about to happen and we're just afraid to see because of hoax warnings? What do we do? Be scared? I don't think so. And I actually don't mean that we be careless and all that. I mean, it's good to take warnings but sometimes we just have to gauge whatever we have to gauge first.

So right after my graduation picture schedule, as much as I would like to reduce my food intake, I just can't. I actually scheduled a food meeting with my cousin.

Actually, I've heard this restaurant so many times but I don't know why I only had the chance to eat here recently. Like, my classmates would always set this as a meeting place and like hang-out place but I don't know. Like, I didn't even know how to get up in the restaurant.

If you haven't seen the place yet, it's actually in Dapitan, above Simple Line and Cerialicious I believe. Like, you have to look up to see this place or else you're dead. Not literally of course.

Actually got really excited when I saw this wall paper. Not very big but I don't know. I wish they had a bigger Eiffel Tower though. I mean, it's not fair for the Eiffel Tower. So then we concluded that maybe the owner is from Sydney. Yup! May conclusion agad agad.

Buddy picture.

CHINA? Red Iced Tea that they serve with any meals.

JAPAN. Steamed Gyoza that doesn't taste like it. But quite alright.

INDIA. My curry pasta with seafood. Now this one is love. I hope they had a parmessan cheese bottle at the table though so the customers would have the option to add a little more.

Loved this. Like, the curry sauce is so rich that you won't even. LOL. I love the generous amount of seafood in it too. I wish they served more pasta though.

ITALIA. The chicken is actually good. The pizza is so-so. The spaghetti is kind of legit. Or at least it's not ketchup. We had fun eating. The place is nice. Very nice if you want some time alone. Because the place is quite quiet and probably underrated so not much people are coming in. That's all! :)
