Stuffed Toy Octopus (Or Lobster)

"Just because you don't know it doesn't mean you won't pass."

NOW THOSE ARE WORDS OF WISDOM RIGHT THERE.

My sister, who I often turn to for either random craziness or angst, comforted me like two seconds ago because I am (was) freaking out like REALLY REALLY FREAKING OUT about the UPCAT. Not sure if her comfort made me more complacent (since I am writing a blog entry right now when I have to study O_o), but at least I make more sense of it along the way.

Other matters: During Filipino, Sir Bigs showed us a video of 'Modern Manila' in 1933—and I seriously wanted to cry. Yeah I know most other normal people cry at soppy love dramas and whatnot, but I guess mini-documentaries of my ancestors are my tearjerkers. Because really, that was history. That was LIFE. I saw a video of Filipinos—my country, my people, my blood—live on the same ground that I am now, but only 70-plus years later. Those people may be gone, those people may have been overshadowed by Americans, but every one of them shaped a nation. Call me shallow or weird, but that hit me so hard. Because this time I didn't just actually learn it and study it and know it; it was beyond that. I actually SAW it. That was history. That was life.

Well enough with that and on to grad pictorials, just so that I diffuse some of that serious thinking because it's just a lot right now.

My informal shot ideas:
1. Be a musical note.
2. Be Obama.
3. Put a stuffed toy octopus or lobster on my head and make a cringing face.

Yeah, that worked. =))
