2009 was...
awkward.
In so many ways it has been an awkward year. It began with me feeling awkward, not quite sure what I’m supposed to do. And it’s ending that way too.
Certain circumstances made it that way and so I had to work with what I had. Ah, well. Despite feeling awkward about my own skills, my own place in this world, etc. I think that I’ve learned a lot. I’ve also...

Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.
– - Plato (Best quote ever in my opinion).
Let’s hope that I remember this all the time. Sometimes I could be the harshest person there is. Especially when I am battling with someone else.
Before you judge somebody think of this and smile at them instead. (via whatmakesyoubeautiful) (via...

THE RETURN OF THE QLE AWARDS
quarklovesyou:
After making our QLE lists last year, we all had different reactions and expectations. Luis, being the resident optimist, was confident that people would be happy about the list. I, being the cynic, remember e-mailing everyone “let the hate begin”, expecting a storm of negative reaction to come our way. Erwin, being the resident Erwin, didn’t give a sh*t, really.
Thank God,...

The Emo Graduate Giveaway
The planner is a perfectly good reason to join this contest. :P Some people I know will either love or hate the CDs though. Love them because the songs they like are there. However, they could hate the CDs too. Why? Need I spell it out?
I’m curious as to what pictures people will send. I’d be following Francis Brew’s Tumblr account just to see.
