I'm baaack. First day of vacation! :D

Howdy my fellow bloggers! :') Please forgive me for being AWOL lately. The previous month was just so intense! O.0 I guess some of you have heard of the terrible storm we experienced in August (Click to read more details). Quite a number of classes were suspended--which we hardly enjoyed--due to the nonstop rain and heavy flood. As a result, our university had to hold classes seven (7) days--can you believe it--SEVEN days a week! Well I don't know of the case of my other schoolmates, but my professors had to conduct classes on Sundays! O.o It was definitely a wild September. 

The "fun" was not over because there came October.....the dreaded finals week. It was supposedly a finals week, but I had to admit, it's better called "finals weeksssss." :)) Well, I had mine from October 1 to 15! Piles of papers, readings, presentations, FGDs, film reviews, book reviews, and research papers overwhelmed me every single day. T-T

I LOOKED A LOT LIKE HER. T.T

Although I had many--more like a whole semester of--sleepless nights, I am thankful. :) Throughout the roughly four months of hard work in my studies, I saw the work of God's hand. I knew He lead me through every hardship and triumph. I know that nothing is wasted because it's all for Jesus! And it's all because of Jesus that I'm still standing. His Grace and Love sustained me throughout this--literally and figuratively--stormy semester. 

God is my refuge

Today's a special day because...I remember God's faithfulness in my life throughout the semester and...it's the start of a month-long vacation! :"> Wheeeee! I'm so excited for the following days and weeks to come! :"> I'm sure it'll be a fun and a stress-free vacation, which I really really really need. :D

At the moment, I'm virtually hugging everyone because I missed you all so much and I'm so excited to be back here!!! :"> Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :') Please do tell me how you are doing at moment! :D I'm so excited to hear from you all! <3 God bless us all! :D

Why did I bother adding one more blog to the millions available in the Internet? Guess why. :P

Let the writing begin

Finally! I can now start writing my blogs. Yey!

First of all, let me introduce myself. I am Laurice. Err, not actually because... People who know me don't call me by my first first name. Instead, they use my second first name: Nicole (yeah, so you're wondering what's with the my-name-is-laurice thingy). Not that I don't want "Nicole." In fact I love it, but I have already spent 18 years of my life using it. Now let me give a chance to my first first name. Besides, hee hee... I like hearing myself called Laurice (okay, I get it. I won't hear you, but you still call me Laurice. You get my drift?)

Okay. Moving on. You're probably not wondering why I created this blog. Who would bother asking me if thousands, probably even millions, of blogs are created daily. Perhaps to blabber about their life, to write book reviews, to take note of their daily existence, to talk about their interests, to promote their online businesses, to share the Word of God, or what have you. As for me, I would probably squeeze all of these in my newly created blog. Err. Don't get me wrong. Believe me. I've heard about thesis statement more than half of my existence. The concept wherein one should only talk about ONE MAIN IDEA and everything one says should revolve around that one idea. (so why am I saying that I'll cram everything here?)


Before I answer that, let me tell you a story.

Once there was a young lady who went to a far away castle. There she learned a new language that she had never heard before. The young lady was beginning to learn this language until one day, she needed to return home. She was excited to go home and to share the new language that she learned. However, none of these people knew the new language. None of them spoke it. Day by day, what little she knew about the new language was slipping out of her memory. She could no longer remember the rules, the letters, and the pronunciation until she could not remember any of it all.

Sob.sob. That was my story. Well, not really. I mean, I didn't go to an unknown castle or something. It's just that I can see myself in the story (err, yeah. okay. I made it, but at least it got the point.). Anyway, I really have the same problem. It's not that I don't remember my second tongue, which is English by the way, but it's just that I'm really--really to the nth time--bad at it. Not to mention my 2-year straight awful English grades + the when-will-you-ever-learn red comments in all my papers + the can't-you-speak-in-English remarks on me. Great. What course was I taking up again? COMMUNICATION. Oh great. That's just so great. So before I go flanking all my major subjects, I decided to help myself through this blog! Isn't that sweet? You get to help a poor and helpless young lady like me. :">


Not so much of a thesis statement, though at least I have a purpose. hee hee. :""">


Just a few more lines...
