i........ have made an observation in my psych studies 

ok so while i was studying for my psychology class as 1 tends to do i noticed that vriska shares a huge amount of similarities in personality as 1 w/ bpd  forgive me if these explanations r like unreadable its 3.30 am & im not exactly coherent so bear w/ me, 

anyways allow me 2 explain & pls note that any overreactive humor is made respectfully & r not an attempt to like slander anybody w/ bpd bc i respect u all greatly and am love u thanks now here i go: 

her most obvs symptoms r as follows: scared of abandonment, reckless behavior (throwing herself @ dangerous ppl, sometimes Not eating bc no other reason than her just deciding not to, speeding when provided the chance, spending a lot of money for no reason just bc she Felt Like It), rapid moodswings, swinging like an angry pendulum between anxiety, irritability & depression for like hours or days at a time, splitting on ppl (like 4 instance: mitty boy (she swung violently from 'hes ok' to 'i hate him and want him dead' & then back again), xev & jade being the only ppl she rly Like a lot & find the Need to spend time w/, being rly mad when jade left for vacation bc "she left her all alone" even tho she could literally just invite somebody over no problem, not rly caring a whole lot abt other ppl bc theyre not Her Favorites (but still caring enough abt them to want their company its not like she wants any of these ppl dead or anything theyre just not as important as jade or xev are), like she doesnt hate them she just accepts them but thats kind of it, has potential to be just Vile to ppl even if she likes them a whole lot & then feeling Rly Bad Abt It, makes off w/ hELLA personality traits which is why shes, significantly nicer now than she used 2 b (its from hanging out w/ jade so much like for instance shes also taken on liking dogs and plants even tho she never gave a fuck abt them previously), splitting on a lot of things. music. food. ppl. opinions  v/ black or white thinking 

alsosososososo: vris: she seems nice she: (opinion that vrissy doesnt agree w/) vris: she seems weird idk i think shes evil :/

plus: vriska is also pretty suicidal but like. on the dl its been established already that shes a very very verrrrrrry proud person & she kind of sees suicide as a copout so she Wont Do It no matter how bad things look out of just, stubborn alternian pride 

she definitely Wants To Die though and if she get away w/ it shell also scratch herself a lil until she pokes a hole or burn herself """"by accident"""" touching the hot cookie sheet or smth similar but she believes suicide is cheating & in some way i, guess thats good???????? idk her views are p bent

First Month in IB World School - Kolej Mara Banting

Greetings, fellow Earthens. It is I, your local inconvenience, saluting from the middle of nowhere, surrounded by palm trees, and thousand miles away from home 🍇 Kia Ora, people! (Nice guess, but I’m not at New Zealand) Before I start my long rant, I just wanna apologise beforehand with the weird format that I typed my blog with because my laptop decided to be a huge B and won’t connect to my internet. Hence, I’m currently typing this thing on my phone! Not a problem, but it’s annoying the hell out of me haha let’s just move on before I stray away from the topic 🍇 First and foremost! OMG GUYS I SURVIVED ONE MONTH IN KMB WITHOUT ANY MAJOR THINGS OR DRAMA HAPPENED (well few mini episodes but nothing grand that’s cinematic worthy, but oh well moving onnnnn) I, believe it or not, survived the first month without ANY sorts of homesickness, or even any illness (HAH to the doctor that said I need an antibody injection, I. Survived. Without. Getting. Sick.) Of course, the first impression towards KMb was nothing short of a shock. Low-key (I meant high key) regretting for rejecting UNIMAS because I was expecting a UNI life, you know. I want to FEEL LIKE AN ADULT, but lmao guess who gets to be in a classroom and having teachers instead of lecturers and have to greet the teachers every time they come in? (Suck it up, Niqa. It’s called IB world SCHOOL for a reason. It lives up to it’s name.) So yeah, the life that I’m living right now is NOTHING like the fantasies that I used to have about University life. Nothing. Big shout out to Niqa because she never fails to disappoint herself! Woohoo! We have our class from 8 till 3.30, sometimes up till 4.30 if we have some extra remedial or meeting up with the teachers, but I usually just stay at the academic block until 5.30 (because I’m a good girl 🙃 lah sangat) and everything here is pretty much scheduled. So, to say that we don’t have a life, is correct. Like I said, NOTHING like what I imagined uni life is all about. 🍇 Even thooooough, the life here is, lmao to be blunt, extraordinarily lame, but I wasn’t joking when I said I really like it here, and I think one of the main reason (I honestly think it’s the only reason, but lmao let’s pretend I didn’t type that out) that I really like it here in KMB is, the people. The seniors, my batch mate, the teachers (they’re actually lecturers but I honestly have no idea why they insisted on us addressing them as teachers), the staffs, mak cik DS, pak cik guard, and literally everybody else are so amazing. They’re very kind and genuine that it makes me feel so loved and accepted here. It’s weird how so far away I am from where I’m from, but I feel so ‘belonged’ here. And I honestly guess that’s the main reason why I didn’t get any sort of homesickness. Though this place is NOTHING like home, but it feels like a home to me. Their kindness was quite overwhelming in the first place and I was soooo awkward because I’m not used to it and I legit had no idea how to react towards such kindness, but then, slowly I learnt that it comes from the heart. Everything comes from the heart. If the kindness that you received comes from within, then make sure to repay from the within too. It’s so different, (lmao it’s like langit and bumi, honestly) from the people that I died to associate myself with back in Green Road, (I LOVE YOU LITTLE DAREDEVILS AND SATANS WITH ALL MY HEART I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH AND I MISS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU DEVILS) and I thought that it would very hard for me to ‘fit in’, but how wrong I was. I still remember during the first day of orientation and how I was in TOTAL DISTRESSED because my MARA agreement was apparently incomplete, two of my batch mates came up to me, sat next to me , and just talked to me like I'm one of their friends, and I've never felt more grateful before because it was like the beginning of how my perception changed towards these people. Everyone is just so accepting. It’s partly because how the seniors and the teachers never fail to remind us every time during orientation days, about how we are all now back to zero. Nada. Kosong. And we’re all starting from the same starting point so there really is no one ahead or no one got left behind. We’re a team. Not competitors, and I just really like that concept and how it changes the perceptions that I have towards this people. They didn’t get the upper hands just because they’re from boarding school, they’re just like me, chasing after the same goal. And instead of a huge stampede and massacre, we’re holding hands, and making sure that no one gets left behind, while reaching for the end goal, together. 🍇 Secondly, the culture that they’ve nurtured here thoughhhhhh. Holy cow, I’m so amazed. Can you believe that thievery is unheard of, here in KMB? You can literally just leave your phone anywhere and leave your laptop at the middle of concourse, come back to take it few hours later, and it will still be there, untouched. The people here really respect each other’s stuff and of course, very disciplined and I’m just so amazed. Wow, I’m a part of these people now? Phew, Niqa. You’re amazing. (Let me have this moment, guys. I want to puji diri too) and cases of hysteria is so rare. Wait, if I’m not mistaken, it never happened here before? Like, can you believe that? A college. I heard so many ghost stories of different college that I was kinda scared entering this so called dorm life but lmao I literally have nothing to be scared of. I love how we just sit together every night and recite Ma'thurat in the morning at the surau before class, recite Al Mulk together at night, the solat jemaah, Quran in group sessions. Everything is just so rare for a common student like me from a commoner school. Like wow? No wonder budak mrsm sbp so amazing? What was I doing with my whole 18 years of life? Sleeping while living? I felt so left behind in everything, but then again, like I said, everyone here is so amazing you hardly feel the huge gap that we have. I love each and every breathing creatures there to bits 💜 🍇 HAH I sounded like I’m living the live in KMB and loving it so much, ain’t I? I do, but that DOES NOT mean that I have nothing to complain about here 😭 trust me, I do. A lot. Though I’m trying very hard to stay positive (trust me, I do. Very hard), sometimes it gets hard too. So just bear with me as I list my complaints one by one. 1st : WHY IS THE GIRLS’ BLOCK SO FAR AWAY FROM EVERYTHING? The academic block. The DS. The surau. EVEYTHING IS A 5MINUTE WALK AWAY. I just don’t understand. Why? (But I’m low-key learning to like the long walk because that’s the only form of 'exercise’ I do here. Walk.) it’s tiring lmao bye moving on. 2nd : um, why is eveything and everyone so damn loud here? My heart suffers a lot. I jumped when someone laugh out loud. Trust me, it’s really LOUD AND USUALLY AT LIKE 12 PM EXCUSE ME HONEY BUNNY I WOULD LIKE SLEEP AND NOT HAVING HEART ATTACK WHILE DOING SO THANK YOU, I jumped when the ticker for the prayer time goes off, I jumped when the time indicator bell goes off, my ear buzzed every time aeroplane flew by, I jumped when Salman screamed into the microphone back in orientation days (he didn’t really scream I was exaggerating, but he might as well scream with a voice that loud) heCK I EVEN JUMPED WHEN FATIN TALKED TO ME BECAUSE I FORGOT SHES IN THE ROOM WITH ME. I’ll probably either suffers from a heart problem or hearing problem in my two years time here, whichever comes first. 3rd : life with sensitive skin IS ALWAYS a problem when you’re changing water. My skin suffers A LOT. With tiny red rashes and eczema, I feel like tearing my own skin apart every time I’m taking a bathe. Like do you even Niqa? Cause I can’t even Niqa sometimes. What even. Last but not least, lmao I’m broke af. If anyone feels like doing some good deeds and donating to charity pls feel free to hit me up I’m a willing receiver of your donation. Much love 💜 🍇 Although I would love to rant more, I still have presentation slides to prepare 😭 and a pending mini thesis for PI. I would like to end my blog (so formal, tsk) with a HUGE THANK YOU to my Group 12 members (I love you guys so much I’ve never met a group of people who are so crazy and fun yet genuinely cared for each other like you guys do), the seniors (especially MPPs, you guys made the orientation nights miserable yet memorable 🙆🏻 and the dedications that you guys put into making the nights fun is amazing and I appreciate them all. What an inspiring bunch 💕), my roommate (FATIN ADWIANA MY TEENY TINY HUMAN I love how you’re shorter than me and makes me feel tall JK FATIN I LOVE YOU YOU ADOWABLE LOUD HUMAN), and my classmates M17E (you guys honestly laughed wayyyyyy too much and so rowdy but hey, that’s what makes the class fun 🙆🏻🙆🏻), and the whole 17/19 batch 💜 whatta bunch 💜 With love (so much love, can’t you feel it?), Niqa 🍇 (It’s 'Nee-Ka, not 'Nee-Qo’ , okay? 🙄)

GO EXPLORE.ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE.

Another awesome weekend with my sis. It’s been a long time again after those busy weeks. 

It’s time to enjoy, relax, and time for another weekend adventure.

We went to PACEM ECO PARK at  Assumption Antipolo, they established it to raise concern for the environment among students, teachers and staff, parents, guests/tourist  and visitors to the school, by providing them with an experience of the true beauty of nature.

It was an amazing experience again, breathing some fresh air, walking thru the paths you don’t usually go with, and a closer encounter with some of the unusual animals.

The best part of the park for me was the tree house. The feeling up there was really amazing and the view was priceless and fascinating.

We stayed at the PACEM Eco Park for about 2 hours I guess, but it feels like we’ve been there for a day. The place was really calm and peaceful, a great place for unwinding and reflecting. And when you go there make sure that you have accompany, cause the park is really big you might get scared specially if the park has no expected visitors, you might end up walking in the forest alone (but you can request for a tour guide to be with you).

The shell collections and butterfly museum was also one of the memorable features of the PACEM. You’ll give them a two thumbs up for having that kind of showcase there.

Here are the following PACEM ECO-PARK features: • An Eco Center-  • A Wildlife Sanctuary -  • A Butterfly Garden -  • A Butterfly Collection (cameras are not allowed to protect the preserved butterflies) -  • A shell Collection -  • A mini-Forest  -  • An Aviary  -  • An Eco-Shoppe  -  • A Snack Center -  • A Herbal Garden -  • An organic Farm -  • A Green House 

Pacem Park Open for visits as follows: From Monday to Friday, from 8.00 am to 3.30 pm On Saturdays from 8.30 am to 12 nn (Entrance fee : Php 85.00)

For inquiries pls write or call: PACEM Center for Peace and Ecology Assumption Antipolo Sumulong Highway, Antipolo City Tel. 696-3274 or 697-2354

To travel is to experience another adventure. Go on and explore places.You don’t need much money to enjoy and have fun. Just give it a try.
