Titanium

Pitch Perfect has been a trending topic for quite some time now. It's not only hysterical (Hello, Fat Amy and Lilly), but it's also a musical! And yes, I am undeniably a sucker for musicals. However, this post is not about Pitch Perfect. It's about a line from Beca's remix of the song Titanium - "This time maybe, I'll be bulletproof."

That line was a slap in my face the first time I heard it. It made me realize that I must learn not to care what others think of me and learn to be carefree; that I shouldn't let the insults get to me because those who've made the snide remarks are certainly not better than me; that I shouldn't try to impress other people because what I do should be for my own happiness.

The thing is though, I can't help but be fragile. I'm insecure. That isn't something that just goes away easily. And because of that, I will probably always care about what other people think of me, and overthink things, and never be completely happy because of all the stress I've created for myself. Thus, I've decided the aforementioned line to be my new philosophy. Since I really do want to get out of the black hole of depression that I have been sucked into, I have to change.

Maybe the next time around, the piercing words that are bullets will ricochet. Maybe I will eventually be bulletproof.

Maybe.

Post-Toilet Paper Usage

It's been four days since my last post. The reason for that is because number one, my life is pretty boring as of late, and number two I've been procrastinating. I may have skimmed through some of the pages of my Chemistry book, but mostly I just ate, slept and watched Baby Daddy episodes. Which by the way, if you don't watch the show - you should. And don't just watch it because of the fact that the lead actor,  Jean-Luc Bilodeau, is insanely hot. (Although that was my primary reason for downloading the first episode. Ugh, hormones.)

About this post's very awkward title, however, I have thought of a not-so-original idea of recycling the cardboard roll from toilet paper and making something useful out of it! And though this may seem to be a DIY post, it's not. It's really not. It's just me showing you that I covered the cardboard roll thing with fancy paper. Then I used it as a bracelet rack. Yep, not so creative either. But at least it was another very minuscule step to saving the environment!

As we're on the subject anyway, yes, I have found yet another obsession - bracelets. How will I ever manage to save my allowance when I want so many things? (That was a seemingly first world problem.  Ironically, my country is dubbed as a third world country!)

So if you're feeling generous, help me save money by buying books, bracelets, and London things for me! Thank you in advance. I love you already.
