1.5 - Valentine's Day

0 comments Posted by nanabuuui at 12:34 AM

I've finally come to peace with Ugly Hearts Day. I am accepting a value beyond indulgence in consumerism.

I am choosing to look past the shallow expressions of love.
The pink and red surround me. It makes me feel like a child, fluttering through an elementary school classroom. I look to the walls and the decorations for the colorful indications of specific holidays. Now? February. My birth month. The deemed month of love. Even Starbucks has those pretty cups with hearts on them.

The rosy colors have been alluring reminders to express love for people in our lives. I still firmly believe that the expression of love should not be isolated to one specific day. Instead, it should be expressed every day. But it's nice to have that specific day to force the loved ones to do something nice for you. I am quite happy and content with that idea. I refuse to complain about being spoiled! :]

The boyfriend is off at school. This is how life will be for the next few years. As my newsfeed flooded with photos of flowers and extravagant gifts, I could not help but feel a tinge of envy. The posts were focused on the material worth of the item. Perhaps some thought was given to the love fostered in the items. Hrm, I highly doubt it. I believe a majority of the people who posted (gift) photos did not give much thought to the simplest thing: their ability to be close to each other. That is what I envy.
I just want my boyfriend here. With me. Even for just a day. I want to be close to him. But he's far away on a desolate island to study for class, to work and volunteer in-between, and to frolic on pretty beaches. Boo.

I'm still grateful for everything. I need to be more alert and count my blessings more often.

Valentine's Day 2012 Breakdown:
  • Woke up to find a card from my mother. It was the sweetest thing, ever.
  • Woke up to an adorable text from the boyfriend.
  • Ate Trader Joe's chocolate in class to stay awake. Utter failure.
  • Spent part of the afternoon with my father.
  • Received a video surprise from the boyfriend: a Lego stop motion video ^__^
  • Spent my evening at Starbucks. Studied.
  • Chatted and had a small HIMYM date with the boyfriend.
This is too much writing for me today. I shall end it now.

A Modest Tumblr Observation

0 comments Posted by nanabuuui at 1:53 PM

Like many, I leisurely browse through my tumblr dashboard, liking posts with pretty pictures, deep, thought provoking quotes about life, love, failure, success, and self-acceptance, while occasionally reblogging things for the heck of it. I've subscribed to a bunch of groups, particularly the ones following the "FUCKYEAH(insert any reference here)!" format. There's fuckyeahLost, fuckyeahwelshcorgis, fuckyeahAudreyHepburn, fuckyeahJJAbrams, fuckyeahlove, etc. The list goes on. I'm on the bandwagon for Lost fandom, Harry Potter fandom, Inception fandom, Glee fandom (although my interest in the show has digressed), Disney love, pretty foods, more pretty foods, 


I see tumblr as nothing more than a mere compilation of images and quotes. The ease of reblogging makes one forget to how to write, aside from the side comments of, "YES! I agree!" or "this is soo cuute!" or "I WANNT THIS!"

This is why I prefer blogger. Tumblr is my collage, but this is my writing timeee! I should really be studying o__O
