RACQUELBALAOAS.COM: From 10pm

10 PM - 7 AM
I've sat in front of the laptop and surfed the net.

Damn projects! Seems so endless!
Damn blogging! It's so addictive!
Damn my crush! So insensitive!
Damn life! So Complicated!
Damn me! I can't stop whining!

I'm gonna take my midterm exam on Public ad on Monday, 1:30pm.. hopefully, I'll be able to pass it. R.A 9048 interview will be on Tuesday, 1-3pm, so I will be absent on that day. NSTP practical test later at 10:30am (coz by the time I'm typing this, it's already 4:30 am).

I'm so tired.. and stressed out.

I'm also sick by the way.
