Larch Notes: KATNISS and the Hunger Games Weekend
Can’t simply end the Hunger Games week without connecting the thematic Hunger Games weekend with something I just found out (thanks to Google).
So do you know that Katniss (that Hunger Games character) is named after the Sagittaria species also known as the Arrowhead?

Personal Notes:Kadaldalan, Katakawan, and Hunger...
Yesterday was a long, eventful day.
It was the official end of A.Y 2011-2012. Dreaded day for my students since this was officially the end of plate submissions. As for me, yesterday was the mark of 3 things in particular:
Kadaldalan: Batchmates came over! Long talk it is.
Katakawan: Foodfest and a full meal at Pho Hoa and MOMO Cafe
Hungergames: The morbid movie till 1am! HAHA.
Kadaldalan...

Thesis Notes: MLA and the APA
FYI.
We’re shifting everything to APA (tama ba?). Major editing and my brain cells are not working accordingly. Pardon for the “kabagalan”. It needs a jumpstart that needs major hiatus from the world and beyond.
And I have a screen shot of my prezi-“dapat” presentation for my thesis proposal just so you have an idea of where my life revolves around the past...

Personal Notes: Morning Post
I always read Jessica Zafra.
Oh well atleast I try to.
Jessicarulestheuniverse is an apt title for my go-to-blog of anything beyond boring. She amazes me with how seamless her grammar is, how her book geekiness is the bomb(that i cannot EVER be at par with), how movies are well, movies; and of how she gets pretty cool with everyday shit with her friends and her cats.

Larch Notes: Local Ingenuity and our River Love
(WARNING: EXCESSIVE USE OF “GENIUS”. )
THIS IS THE HARVESTER.
This is a genius! Filipinos are the most innovative people in the universe (own opinion). Instead of distraught and sadness of how the metro waterways are becoming infested with the most prolific, notorious, we-hate-you-even-if-you-are-green fauna out there, they instead created a machine (thank you genius...

Personal Notes: Weekend Shopping with the Family
The family bought shoes.
Funny how the Payless Sale was so relevant to our family. 3 shoes + 1 free pair =SAKTO SAMING APAT. It’s been awhile since we get this shop-till-you-drop moment. After being frugal and all that for each other’s needs, we finally had a chance to spend for one thing we love doing togetherrrr...

Personal Notes: My Blogging Experience
(Photo of Tondo Church, January 2012. #thesisinspiration)
I remember having Zorpia as my first ever form of “blog” and “social network” in the w-w-w. Alongside my blogger account (which has the lamest name yet i forever treasure), blogging was an online affair with your virtual diary, some realm you build to make all those diary entries readable...

I was that happyy. anyway…), a whole day at work (i’m too passionate with teaching. haha! class ends at 9pm for my review sesh), and...

Larch Notes: Random Morning Sesh with "Green"...
Busy week!
Woke up with this innovation spicing up my Tumblr dashboard. Jaujac, a Southern France town, has artists having the same line of “green” thoughts, adding zest to the dull paved world with this 1400 ft. turf running all over town. How’s that for an art installation?
