October has been a month of trying out new products and discovering new ones. Here's a video where I shared them all. I hope you guys will like it! p.s. it looks really half-assed because I don't have a lot of time with me like I know I should be doing academics because it's finals week tomorrow but idk ok ok ok :(
I don't know if this counts as an actual playlist but here are some of my absolute favorite songs. Here's a compilation of songs and sunset photos from when my family and I went to Stilts, Calatagan, Batangas. The place was beautiful but unfortunately, it was a low tide when we went there.

| Somebody Else // The 1975 |
From The 1975's second album I Like It When You Sleep For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It, the band still continues to mesmerize me with their unique music and poetic lyrics. I'm a huge fan of this amazing British band!
 |
| Youth // Daughter |
This song by Daughter will forever remain in my playlists. It has a great message.
Urbandub's on of my favorite Filipino bands. Yes, they're Filipino! This song gives all the feels! It gives you the road trip vibe - the kind of road trip that you'll spend with your loved one. I'm not going to lie, this song reminds me of my past relationship (TMI).
I hope you guys will give these songs a try! Let me know if you want me to make playlists, longer ones, in the future! Also, I have 10 blank discs and CD cases in here, tell me if you want to receive an actual mix tape! I've always wanted to send those.
Have a nice day!

Out of a very random decision, I decided to make a video today. I stopped making vlogs for over a year and I'm back now! I know I look bad but here it is. Sorry if I blabber on a few words - I'm nervous. Enjoy.
As I write this, I am being sucked into a void of my emotions - a place I am uncertain of yet I can feel it dearly.
The past days include almost sleepless nights, examinations, longing, doubt, and insecurity. I know I shouldn't be writing this. Not in this place, but somewhere else.
I cannot help it. I need to release forget all this now.
There's nothing to be stressed about, really.
They're just exams.
But something's always bothering me. A slither of coldness and numbness travels around my body, freezing everything as it passes my veins, as it reaches my fingertips. I don't know what it is. It's bothering me. It's creating a deep hollow inside me, waiting to be filled and satisfied. A monster.
I always find myself thinking: how would I defeat this monster?
He's making me feel the things I would want to feel the least.
doubt, insecurity, the feeling of being secluded.
He's being successful in bringing out the worst in me, so far.
I would always find myself on the edge of crying. Exhaustion. Desperation, sometimes.
Being desperate in a way that I am in a great need of something that would save me from this monster inside me. Something that would make it go away. Make it leave die.
I don't want to leave home, let alone the comforts of my bed.
I would always have to drag and make myself move. I have school.
But this monster isn't making me drift away from my priorities, of course.
I've gotten used to controlling it, saying "no" to it.
Maybe the monster got inside me just because it wants to leave a message:
"Here I am. I am ready to travel within you, eat you up slowly, destroy you, especially your emotions. But you know why I'm here, right? Fight me. Think of every possible way to make me go away. Trust me, young one, I don't want to do this. It's up to you whether you let me sink deeper in your soul until you're completely gone. I know you're brave, you can do this. I'd rather die and be peacefully gone than to stay inside you and make you feel this way. You are better than what you are now."
I'm working on it, monster. I am.
I'll see you soon. :)
Every year, we celebrate our school's foundation week wherein there would be 3 days of school fair. Last year, the college persons came up with having a concert called Echoes. I was able to attend the first one last year, with Kamikazee as the main performer. So this is how it goes: the gates open at around 2pm and if you want to get really a really good place, you should come early. It's held in our track and field oval, though, it's more fun to sit around! Then, there would be bands who'll perform before the main artist arrives at around 8-9pm. The concert ends at 10pm or so.
The concert was on Valentine's and this year, it was too.
I won't be around next year anymore so let's see if it'll be a tradition that they do it every Valentine's.
This year's main act was Bamboo, the Phippines' Prince of Rock.
this is what i've been waiting for.
today's the day.
the sun is up, showing its majestic rays
it's painful
it burns.
as the sun crept back to its home
i found myself sitting on the grass that was once green, full of life.
the darkness set in
screaming people
endless flow of music
close bodies.
madness had gone through
she needed air
she was tipsy
we got out.
she's okay now, better than ever.
back in the crowd again,
closer this time.
he came on stage
his angelic voice radiating through the whole place
he came down, near me.
it was wonderful.
the night was wonderful.
See you soon pals.
Hello, I’m back, back again.
For the past few days I’ve been thinking about how everyone stays inside a person’s mind either for just a while, or for a long time.
Everyday, we meet thousands of people and it is a choice either to let them stay in your life or not. These faces we see, they’re just part of a whole different person - someone who has gone a lot and experienced such great adventures that are yet to be told.
It is inevitable to remember someone’s smile: how his eyes crinkles as his mouth opens up into a wide grin. It is inevitable to remember someone’s modesty: how he clings his arm around you although it is very awkward that it sent thousands of butterflies in your stomach.
These strangers we see, do they even think that you are that great enough that they let you invade their thoughts? Strangers. Blurred personalities.
Yes, you met for a while but is that person’s memory worth keeping for? Why is it so hard to comprehend this idea?
Are you processing what I’m trying to say?
Because at the end of the day, we’re all strangers that are held responsible to continue and go on with our lives. We are all different. Too different that there are times we invade other’s minds. But as what I’ve said, we’ve got to move on. Everyone’s just a memory. It is truly fate if you meet once again. And it is a choice to let them get into you.
And it is funny to think that in his eyes you're just another person. Someone who isn't worth keeping the memories for.
// more upcoming blog posts. I hope you'll tune in for them
see you soon, pals. //
This post may seem a bit odd since I've never done anything like this but I badly need to update and here's what I came up with.
Yesterday, my mom, sister, and I went to the mall and these are the stuff I got for myself.
P.S. I'm proud to say I bought these with my money!
I'm really sorry for how the photos turned out, I'm not in the mood to take proper photos and edit them.
I've been into the old music lately, searching for bands such as the tops I have there (^). I saw a The Beatles one, but I'll probably get it soon. I need to save more! Plus, one of my favorite bands, 5SOS has these tops; Michael has The Rolling Stones one and Ashton has the AC/DC one. Moreover, since my dad travels around the world. I made sure that he'll get me shirts with the print of my favourite bands and artists. haha!
The screw looking one is my favourite!
Books are a massive part of my life. I will have a separate post about this soon. Anywho, it's been a while (3 months??) since I read a book which is like forever. So, I decided to give myself a treat.
This book have been always part of my to-read-list but I never got to read it since I tend to buy the books I've recently heard of than the ones on my list. I'm pretty sure this will be an awesome book; I've read some of the reviews about it.
Lastly, Requiem!! I was supposed to get this earlier this year but I didn't. I have no idea what had happened. Haha. Requiem is part of the Delirium Trilogy. I've read the first two books in April 2012 and now is the only time I'll read the third and last book. I remember myself writing a fan-made version of Pandemonium (2nd book) before it came out because I was literally dying to read it and I wanted to write for a bit. I discovered the copy 3 weeks ago, lol.
So yeah, this is the end of my post, my first haul post. I know some of you will have school again soon, I'm wishing you a good luck!! And for those who has school already, like me, good luck to us.
Have a pleasant and meaningful week!
Don't forget to follow me on Instagram (inalouisem) since I post there more. Thank you! :-)
Okay, school's been a crazy wreck, the first quarterly exams will be next week!! And the past week have been crazy, with all the projects and stuff. And this week will be very chaotic, since I need to finish all the projects and prepare for the examinations.
I hope you enjoy this video I made for my project in Economics!! :) I'm not a pro, but I tried. Haha!
For you, this may seem another pointless rant of mine but for me it is different.
Have you ever heard of a boy named Harry Styles? Okay, I think you're now saying to yourself that this is bullshit. No.
What could have happened if he didn't had the guts to audition to X Factor? I bet he will be the boy who walks in the hallway with everyone's gaze on him. The boy who can sweep off a girl's feet. The boy who still works in the bakery.
You may think that I only love him for he's part of the greatest boy band in the world. You're wrong. I'm in love with him - the true Harry Styles. I may not know him personally and he may not even know that I exist, I still believe that he's the type of person that I'm willing to spend forever with. Okay, this is insane, I know. But just think.
For me, he's the type of best friend who will always be there for you. The one who will throw stones on your window in the middle of the night when he hears that you're not okay. The one who will give up the rest of the day just to be under the covers with you and watch movies. The one who will make you show the real you. The one who will boost your confidence and will never judge you. The one who will stare into your eyes and hold you tight just to make everything okay. The one who will bring out the best in you. The one will be beside you during your darkest days. The one who will take care of your children and grandchildren. The one who will hold you tight when you think that everything is too much. The one who gives you piggy back rides. The one who will dance with you in the middle of the pouring rain. The one whom you can do whatever possible reckless thing to do. The one who will sing to you until you fall asleep. The one who is willing to take silly photos with you.
The one who will keep you awake late at night because he won't leave your mind.
And that is what I'm feeling right now. Everytime I see a photo of him, my stomach twists into knots. My mind goes into circles. My heart races, making it hard to breathe.
And I hope that someday, I will be given the chance to meet the boy of my dreams. Be on the same place as him, and breathe the same air. Even if it will be just a minute. I want to to talk to him and take loads of photos and tell him how much he means to me. And when that time comes, I know that it will just be something normal to him - meeting a fan and hearing how much she loves him. But for me, it will be different. I want to be his friend and hang out with him; it is impossible, I know.
I just can't wait for the day wherein I would see his cheeky smile, stare into his beautiful green eyes and hug him. And I know, that I would cry and run out of breath in that moment.
Tears have been shed while writing this post.

Have a nice day. xx
I think I have admitted it a few times already that my summer is really boring. Nothing great had happened so far. A trip to a great place maybe?
Music is one of my escapes from this boring summer. I've been downloading albums from time to time, discovering a whole lot of artists that aren't that known in my country and has beautiful music at the same time. I'm currently into indie pop music. I might make a playlist soon.
Enjoy your summer! {for the ones who has summer vacation too}
Do your best and finish school with high remarks! {for the ones who's still in school; you can do it}
