For months, I've been bothered by the fact that the close friendship my (former?) best friend and I had, had been reduced to simple hellos and small smiles. It's like we were decreased to mere acquaintances now. No more were the usual traditions of hitting the mall every chance we get, watching horror movies together (me, covering my eyes while she sits casually in her seat like nothing happened), morning jogs every weekend and the usual times we'd spend sipping lattes in our favorite cafe gossiping and talking about boys.

I know for a fact that our distance is one of the few reasons for our sudden lack of closeness. With both of us studying in different colleges in different places, its hard to spend time with each other. But its difficult for me to believe when eight months before, we were still best friends doing the same usual things despite the fact that we haven't seen each other for six months. Then in just a blink of an eye, the next few months we see each other, we're like strangers now.

She'd go home and visit from time to time but I'm oblivious because I did not even receive some sort of notification from her. Not one call or text. NONE AT ALL.

I'm confused as hell as what I did or did NOT do. Is it because times have changed? I agree. But, how come I'm still close friends with others who have the same situation (studying in a different college in a different place)?

Is it because I'm the one who changed?

I do not know what I'm supposed to do to repair our friendship. But I can't just sit in the sidelines and do nothing.

I'm not willing to throw our six years of friendship out the window. Yet.

If you remember, I had posted some of my thoughts regarding vivid bright tops a few days ago. My example was Hilary's bright fuchsia top of which she dawned on nicely.

Now, I think I've found a top contender: Carrie Underwood's bright orange halter-style top.

And, none of my reactions seems to be the least bit positive.

Oh, there are many reasons I could state which say that this bright orange halter-style top looks undeniably wrong. Some people are just not meant for bright colors.

And, Carrie is just one them.

Hilary Duff may not be one of my favorite Hollywood stars but at times, I tend to change my mind. And, this picture may be one of the things that do so.

Truthfully, my closet is jam-packed with grays, blacks, reds and a little bit of green but never yellow, purple, lemon green or pink especially awfully bright shades likes fuchsia. I'm not afraid of adding color to my style but it's more of being afraid the color would blind others. There are certain shades that are too bright for my liking. Sometimes, a certain shade of color may not even complement your skin tone.

Though, I'll give props to Hilary for dawning the bright pink top nicely. However, I don't think I, myself, could successfully wear something of that vivid color.

It's been days since I last posted anything. It's been really a hectic week for me and I've got loads to tell.

1. SUMMER CLASSES ARE OVER! Yes, you heard that right. The one thing that has kept me bitter and all riled up has passed. Unfortunately, so is summer. Which gives me only a week before school starts again. When, oh when, can I have a break?

2. This week I managed to catch up with a couple of friends who came home. Missed you so much, loves! They attended my birthday bash, hang out, drank coffee and partied. It was fun while it lasted. Now, we have exactly just two weeks before reality slaps them in their faces shouting they need to go back. Time flies so fast. Next thing you knew, you're stuck in your desk reading books much thicker than both of my thighs. Well, as of now, not yet.

3. As oppose to my reason of not posting (it being hectic week), it's actually because I had been studying for final exams and cramming a LOT. I've been juggling summer class, spending time with friends and at the same time, enjoying summer. I know I've been ranting about how summer class ruined my WHOLE summer but that doesn't mean I have to rant all of my life about it and not enjoy the summer season before school starts.

...

I'd add other things but somehow those would be a lot personal.

It's going to be a lovely week ahead.

Summer class is over and I'm totally free!

Summerclass had started five days ago and since then, I've been BUSY.

As much as I had repeated OVER and OVER again how much I despise summerclass, I had NO choice but to accept it ...regrettably.

My schedule isn't that cramped up since I'm only taking up three subjects. Unfortunately, I have to sit and listen to boring lectures for TWO whole hours. I know I won't be enjoying it but I'll TRY to survive.

And so, I made a list of my goals for this summer.

Well, it's NOT really official since I'll be adding bits and pieces in the future.

--

1. Plan for my birthday. I'm so excited! Adulthood and legal age, here I come!

2. Survive summerclass. ( I'm chanting: "I will not quit...will not quit... NOT quit...")

3. Save money. I can do that. I can definitely DO THAT... maybe.

4. Wake up early so I won't be late to class. I'm so lazy and I'm NEVER a morning person. My body is feels heavy in the morning.

5. Listen attentively to the teacher. I suppose the latest gossip can wait. Or not.
Its so boring just sitting there.

6. Find the perfect summer dress. Color is not too bright. Simple yet elegant.

7. I still have to go to the beach with "friends". My dear friends who are studying far away, please come home SOON. I'm waiting... It sucks to be stuck here in boring land.

8. NO impulse buying. Again, I have to save money! So, I have to control the urge.

9. Spend some quality time with my family. It's been a while since we were all complete. My parents are always busy, especially, my dad.

10. Be serious with my studies. Well, I'll TRY. I get the whole college-is-no-joke speech so often, I'd want to puke. Geez people... I get it already. I'll finish this stupid course and take up my dream course later in the future.

--

Well, this is all I can think of right now.

I'll add more goals in the future.

We all know shopping (for clothes) is a tiring activity— aggravating too.

Shifting from one boutique to another, trying top after top, jeans after jeans, shoes after shoes (possibly roamed every corner of the mall) and after an hour or so, still haven't had a clue on what to buy.

Well, not all but for some people.

Hhmm... people like me.

God knows how LONG I've been walking back and forth, entering and exiting dressing rooms and staring at articles of clothing deciding whether or not I should buy them.

I'm very much certain the employees are laughing their heads off behind my back. Well not really that certain. But, I can pretty much identify the hidden smirks plastered in their faces.

Or, was it my imagination?

Hhmm... did I mention it was Women's Month? Well, that was what the saleslady said to me. They gave me a small journal to commemorate the event.

--

Anyway, I was on my bored-to-death-so-I-should-go-shopping mood.

And, you know what? I went ALONE.

I don't really know why since I usually go shopping with my friends. Maybe, it was because I felt like being alone for a while. Or maybe, because my friends are unavailable and I'm the only one who has got nothing to do. Hhmm... I think it's pretty much the latter.

So after an hour or so (maybe more than that), I finally had been able to stock my closet with some flip-flops, a bikini and much needed florals for summer.

Now, the only thing missing is a trip to the beach.

And, I can't WAIT for that.

In an ironic turn of events, I had decided to become one of those list-writing-obsessed people.

List-writing.

Yes, my newest hobby.

Though it is something I usually wouldn't do nor even try to be, this could very well make me realize insignificant things I hadn't had a moment to think for.

First agenda, I'll make it simple first.

--

1. has been a caffeine-addict since 15 (My dearest coffee...How, I love you.)
2. a shopaholic
3. very, very critical
4. owns lots of cute cuddly stuff toys who each have a given name (yes, ALL of them)
5. has the slightest tendency to admire one's self in the mirror
6. usually misunderstood as a snob (I'm not, I swear)
7. acts silly when no one's looking
8. never gets tired of reading fashion magazines (favorite past time)
9. too meticulous when it comes to caring for the hair
10. Is NOT a self-proclaimed spoiled brat (that title has been unanimously agreed by my friends)

TODAY is my exams. Well, not necessarily just today but for THREE days.

God, help me. I'm about to collapse.

Exams means a LOT of things.

One, I'd be immersed in HUGE piles of books, working my ass off till I plead refuge on the comforts of my bed, which would be only be a maximum of FOUR hours. My beauty sleep, ruptured. Woes, me.

Two, this means memorization and all the la dee dah, la dee dah. My head is about to burst. Exaggeration, I know.

And three, I have to sacrifice a LOT of things―TV, Gossip Girl (though, I already watched the whole season 1. I'm waiting for season 2) fashion magazines, malling and internet (well, I'm blogging right now, so who cares). Only to be replaced by books, papers, notes and blah blah blah.

Well, I'm off to school to take the darn exams.

Wish me luck!

I know, I'm gonna need it.
