Roll up for the mystery tour!

I'll be leaving for France in a few weeks to study/go sightseeing/visit different countries/take photographs/learn how to be independent. That said, I decided to create my own personal blog to document my four-month stay in Europe. If you're interested, feel free to visit my other account.  

FOLLOW THE MYSTERY TOUR  

love, mj

p.s. I'll still be updating in this blog too, of course! After all, I am, and will always be, a part of the fleurient trio.

Fugamundi

Don't know how I got into this hobby of escaping.

But books like these always lead the way...

And a man like him.

It's not that bad.

Love, look up if you like me,

It's funny how things turn out the way they do.

How one event strings itself to another, creating this sequence I would've never expected to happen to anyone, let alone myself.

In retrospect, I feel I should've been more aware of what's going on around me because now, I feel like everything's changed 

and, to be frank, it bothers me a great deal. 

Surreal, if you know what I mean.

Not complaining though. 

Change is good. 

(and if it isn't, now's a good time to learn, don't you think?)

The Philosophy of Memory

"Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a fucked-up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours"

- Clementine, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Motorcycle diaries

Why do I feel nostalgia

for the world I've never known?

Extended Weekend

Went to school today to find out that my classes were free cut
I guess my professors also needed a break after that hectic Midterms

My heels are high, my eyes cast low

And I don't know how to love

I get so tired after midday, lately

I take it out on my good friends
But the worst stays in, or where would I begin?
(Elevator Love Letter, Stars)

Next stop

I want to change the world

instead, I sleep

(Keep Breathing,Ingrid Michaelson)

Well, things are moving forward.

It's bound to happen anyway.

Am I ready?

God, I hope so.

if i could talk,

i'd tell you

if i could smile,

i'd let you know

but my mouth is full.

Our korean fast break on my 20th,

we only had 30 minutes before Spanish Class.

No longer a nadsat,

All hail the Queen

I simply love her

Done with Midterms, yay. I can now rest even if it is just temporary.

Just a month a half left before this term ends and for Thesis to start kicking in.

Perfection

Today my heart swings
But I don't want to play the part
And I don't want a taste of victory
No I don't want to read your thoughts anymore, my god
'cause today my heart swings

(The Heinrich Maneuver, Interpol)

Let them eat cake

We are free to be ourselves,

yet pay to be French.

I'm growing a birthday cake.

Reel and Real Life

Barney girl: Have you ever felt like Barney? You know, just keeping

everything at attraction level. No-to-feelings stuff?

Barney boy: Oh yeah. All the time.

Barney girl: So is it possible? Just keeping everything shallow?

Barney boy: Maybe not. At least not for me, for long. Coz you know,

I try to act like Barney, but deep inside I'm just a Ted, trying to find the one.

Barney girl: People say I'm the girl Barney. But I think I'm more of a Robin.

Fringe benefits

Mama someday you'll be so proud of me
You'll see me hanging in a New York gallery
Someday I'm gonna draw from the left side of my brain
People are gonna ask, "is it brilliant or plain?"

(Little Joy, How to Hang a Warhol)

What I want is a nice, long blazer.

Given my current situation, however, (read: dirt poor) I'll have to get by with raiding my sister's closet. Tsk.

Guilty

Don't you just love those four-letter word that brings music into our ears.

Going through racks and racks of clothing, long lines in the dressing rooms,

and even bumping into old and familiar faces.

p.s. I should really start saving before all hell breaks loose.

I Scream, You Scream

Excuse me

but I just have to explode

Explode this body off me

I'll wake-up tomorrow
brand new

A little bit tired but brand new
