Day 340: what are the memories you have from third grade?
I had a crush on my classmate Roldan (Hi Treska!). I don’t even know why. He used to tell me stories about Bloody Mary.
Day 341: what are the memories you have from fourth grade?
That was the year I read Alice in Wonderland.
Also I became close friends with a girl named Charizze Psalm. Her parents and mine share the same wedding day (January 27), we liked the same color (back when I was a girly girl and I actually liked the color pink), and our birthdates add up to 27. Neat, right?
Day 342: what are the memories you have from fifth grade?
A math substitute teacher who called me “mathematician girl”. Once upon a time, I was. HAHA.
Day 343: the last person you texted— how do you know them?
Gienel Francheska Manarang. A close friend, my classmate for four years.
She still hasn’t replied. XD
Day 344: post a picture of yourself today
See new profile picture. HAHA.
Day 345: write a letter to your best friend
Dear Geleni,
First of all, I’ll have you know that I’m writing this because the challenge told me to do so. Please do not mind my English.
Haha. Does that sound familiar?
Anyhow, I just want to say thank you. You’ve been a very good friend to me, sometimes you know me even better than I know myself. God bless your patience in putting up with me. I feel so lost when I’m in Q.C. and I have a story to tell, but can’t talk to you because you’re too far away or because we’ve been arguing. You’ve done more for me than you can imagine.
As I’ve always said, you’re the little sister I never had. “So just to clear the air, I ask forgiveness for the things I’ve done you blame me for.”
I am looking forward to bunking with you. :) We’ll be fangirling over Sherlock Holmes and taking wacky pictures. And we’ll go to CCP, like you said. We can also walk around the Acad Oval, singing and begging alms of the joggers. Haha.
I love you! XCHUCHU
-Andrea.
P.S. If you are reading this and you are not Geleni, then you are not Geleni. You might have cried a thousand years. “Gonna wreck your ball. XD” (Bello, 2013)
P.P.S. I am sorry for parodying your letter. Hahaha.
Day 346: what are your favorite type of shoes? why?
I don’t choose. Just nothing with heels.
Day 347: are you getting bored of this challenge?
Yes. But I’m almost done with it, anyway.
Day 348: what’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve done lately?
Pitch a topic in creative writing class about Sherlock Holmes and Victorian era sexuality. My professor called me out for it, haha.
Day 349: what’s the way to win your heart?
You don’t. It’s not a prize, and I’m not a fair lady who bestows favors on the valiant knight.
In any case, I ask for nothing more than remembrance.
Day 351: are you addicted to facebook?
No, though my parents would tell you that I am.
College stripped me of all addictions except singing, writing, and reading.
Day 352: do you know anyone with an outie belly button? who?
My baby cousin, Ethan Gabriel. WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD SOMEONE INCLUDE THIS IN THE CHALLENGE.
Day 353: what quote do you live by?
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though I oft have passed them by,
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.
Day 354: last time you cried, why was it?
Friends.
But I often cry without any reason at all.
Day 355: honestly, do you know all the words to your country’s national anthem?
I do.
Day 356: what is your dream job?
To do something practical and analytical in nature – solving problems and such. Hence the engineering course. But I guess, more than anything else I want to be a writer.
Day 357: as a kid did you want to be a ninja turtle and/or power ranger? which color?
Oh, didn’t we all. I liked the yellow power ranger in Wild Force.
Day 358: are you as addicted to tumblr as you were a year ago?
No. I forgot my password again.

a week to go. Why am I counting down, damnit.
