Onto US: Phase 1

So my parents and brother left for the US a few weeks ago. My sister and I are to follow in less than three months time. In the mean time, my aunt is staying with us to basically take care of us. I've shed some tears because we're leaving soon. Mostly, because of my grandmother. But I know I'll visit soon and often after everything there is settled. I feel like I've been a lot more busy than I have been before my parents and brother left. Probably because there are many things now that are left in my responsibility. I've also been busy with looking for schools so I can take short courses that I can apply (hopefully) what I learn once I'm in the U.S. Honestly, learning make-up is the only thing I am interested in, but my mother told me to take hair cutting and hair coloring classes as well. It took a while of searching but I finally found a school that's near, inexpensive and short. I'll be enrolling soon.

In a few days, I'll be going to my first ever make-up workshop and I've been thinking about it ever since I availed of it. I'm so so so so excited to learn more about make-up. Right after that, my sister and I will go to Cavite to stay with my aunts, uncle, cousins and grandma for the Holy Week. I'll also be practicing and hopefully, getting my driver's license there, as well as do some shopping for clothes we will need for the cold climate. I really hope I pass the driver's exam so that by the time my sister's graduation and her grad ball comes around, I can drive her there and back.

I need to prepare my resume soon. Though to be honest, I don't have much to add from my previous one. I've also started selling some of my things so I can have less to have shipped to me in the future. It's quite stressful to sell though. I thought it would be easy as I have experienced buying things myself, of course. I'm not one to demand or ask things to anyone especially if it has been stated how they conduct things. However, I can't really be picky. I need to sell my things fast, so even though my first buyer asked to do some things differently, and ones that I had no prior experience in, I had to cave in. It did, in a way, open more doors to me. Having that additional option for my potential buyers made it easier to sell and negotiate. It's a lot of work. And these past few weeks, I've gone out more than I think I ever had in the previous months. I do find it quite fascinating to sell online. I quite like it.

Betrayal. You had fallen in love with your best friend. It wasn't so surprising though. Everyone falls in love with your best friend. Everything about him is lovable, being around him feels like the perfect vacation and when he smiles at you, his eyes ground you, making you feel like the most important person in the world. You've known him for 15 years, and maybe you've been falling for him all that time. But suddenly, it had become so painful to hide and pretend you're not hurting. Everyone says you're the complete opposite of each other, as day and night are. He was the sun, you were the moon. He was light and you were darkness. Being a part of his life felt like two magnets repelling each other. Both of yours and his parents though, believe you two would end up together. He would just shrug it off with a good-natured smile while you would roll your eyes and scoff. You didn't want to end up with him though. Because you know you'd be that unwanted black

Hello!

Hello, hello! So. Intro blog post. My name's Patricia Valle and I live in the Philippines. Born in 1996, is a fresh college graduate from the University of Santo Tomas. As I am currently writing this, I am reviewing and preparing for the Psychometrician Board Exam on October. I am not enrolled in any review centers so it's all on me. Haha! In a few days, I will be going on a trip to Cavite with my extended family to go swimming (even though it has been officially the rainy season for a few days now). And then the week after, I will be going to Cebu for a week with my family. What the exact plans for the vacation is, I don't know. I just know we'll be there for a week. So. What is this blog for? My first love is reading. I don't know when it started but I remember always reading and re-reading the fairytale books given to me and always loving the books gifted to me as a child. But I distinctly remember when I came to realize and when my love for reading and bo

Writing Again

Helloo So.. It's been a while.. I don't want to go into details about what moved me to continue this idea I started years ago, but it was a lot of things happening right now plus watching this booktuber I recently discovered who's been doing these writing vlogs. Also, I was able to snag a 2 month free trial of Skillshare and I have been doing this creative writing workshop and has saved tons of other classes as well. So here we are. I decided to start with outlining my main characters and maybe the basic complete plot. I've been doing okay, I think and I have been enjoying it. I just love writing. Well, that's it for now. I just wanted to write something on here about this writing 'spurt' I had. Hopefully, I'll update soon after this. Pat
