monday at midnight, october twelfth.  

late night cramming since finals start this tuesday. hustling to finish 7 deadlines in one night my overdue section is shaking and hopefully i’ll get enough sleep to power through 8am classes tomorrow morning.

october sixteenth

why yes, i’ve grown to quite hate my handwriting, thank you. 

finals are finally done, so i took this opportunity to relieve stress and write self-indulgent entries again. now the worst part has begun- waiting for results. i’ve received a few of my scores already and i’m admittedly not satisfied with all of them, so here’s to the hope of better grades ahead. 

i hope you’re having a better week than i am though!

hey there! i’m alex, a new studyblr!

about me

i’m a junior high school student from the philippines! fully bilingual in english and filipino (tagalog). 

interests, hobbies, goals

i’m a lettering artist, though i’m trying my hand at gouache and watercolor too

creative journalling enthusiast

naps a lot and falls asleep really easily, so i drink coffee on the daily

i’m into idol animes, mobages, and musicals 

a student officer and part of my school’s newpaper and debate team

dreams of pursuing neurobiology as my profession

what to expect

study progress and productivity posts, pictures of my notes

(mediocre for now, i’m doing my best!) essay entries

journal spreads, (the occasional) paintings and lettering artworks

why a studyblr?

i’ve decided i’ve done enough lurking around the studyblr tag and i’ve been interested to create a blog for some time now. i want this to be my creative outlet to share different aspects of my life from and academic and hobbyist perspective, and i want to interact with more people in the community! 

blogs that inspired me to create a studyblr: 

@studyquill, @naomireads, @philology-studies, @emmastudies, @snakeplantstudy, and many more! i wish to meet more blogs in the future!

entry 001: october seventeenth

the view from my window right before the sun fully conceals itself

001:  have different images of myself: how I think I look like, how I think others look at me, and how I want myself to look like. I like the idea of continuously seeing the world through a camera lens- what would look good, aesthetically pleasing, creative. Indeed, each day is a clumsy attempt at keeping up with this mindset.

in all honesty, i’m not satisfied with my performance last trimester. but hey, you live and you learn. i’ll work harder to improve (hopefully.)
