Person A: Why Do People Always Try So Much Do Impress Other People They Like? I Personally Think It’s

A thousand live bats fluttered from the walls and ceiling while a thousand more swooped over the tables in low black clouds, making the candles in the pumpkins stutter.

An introverted high school girl from a working-class background and her wealthy, debate-team nemesis can’t agree on anything. But when they’re forced to work together to compete in the state championship, they might discover opposites can attract. Candy Jar premieres on Netflix April 27, 2018. Trailer here.

Gods as Types of People At a Wedding

Artemis: the aunt who gives crisp, short and sweet advice to the couple and keeps her visits short; she is hardly seen at weddings since she avoids all kinds of love and romance but will make the trip if someone close to her is getting married; she is a sucker for outdoor weddings and blesses those couples who remember to not litter after the wedding is over.

Athena: she is often seen along with Artemis and is known to give away valuable advice to the newly weds for a long and happy married life; she is also the person who approves of the wedding beforehand and helps the newly weds in making all the arrangement before the ceremony begins; as the bride leaves to walk down the aisle, Athena whispers soothing words to calm the bride down.

Aphrodite: she is that lady who’s always shipping people at the weddings and is eagerly waiting for upcoming couples to seek her blessings and gives them tips on loving her to the fullest; she loves the fancy weddings and is aunt who often cries because of how beautiful the couple is; she often says ‘I told you so’ when the two people who she ships are together in the end; all the bachelors try to impress her and she laughs it off.

Hestia: the aunt who’s always looking younger than she actually is; she is always forgotten at the weddings until one of the parents of the couple reels her in and she politely says hello and wishes the couple good luck; she rarely dances and if she does, she just twirls and bows down politely.

Dionysus: the uncle who comes to the party for the drinks; he ends up embarrassing the couple in his drunk state by telling stupid things that they did when they were little; somebody has to drag him home when the wedding’s over and he always asks the person if it’s their wedding; the first person to dunk the couple’s heads in the cake; fun to talk to when he’s revealing everything; often criticises the wine that the couple has chosen for the guests to drink at the wedding.

Apollo: the uncle who never leaves the music area; he’s often singing for the couple instead of the raising a toast and always chooses a romantic, hit song for their first dance; sometimes he sobs at how beautifully he has sung the song and the guests are already drowning in their tears; Artemis often has to pull him away before the people kill themselves over his voice; blesses the couple with warm, cozy sun rays; crashes weddings with Hermes; women drool over him and he flirts them, leading them on, not before Hermes has to pull him away.

Hermes: makes it a point to have a grand entrance; walks arm-in-arm with Apollo and dances his way to the couple; has an aura of light headedness and is always keeping the atmosphere light by cracking decent jokes; helps the couple design the invitation cards; winks and makes inside jokes with the newly weds; usually drags away Dionysus and curses when he throws up in Apollo’s car since the three of them travel back in his Maserati; steals something or the other and takes it with him as a memoir of the couple’s wedding; crashes weddings with Apollo.

Hades: is seen complaining and grumbling at weddings since Persephone forced him to come along; blesses the couple first so that he can go home early; doesn’t touch flowers cause they decay when he touches them and then they wilt and die and Persephone starts weeping; always wears a black tuxedo and brings along his phone and headphones so that he can listen to music while the others dance; twirls Persephone around for the sake of it and hugs her awkwardly when the couple kisses because he needs love but will not admit it.

Hepahestus: usually sits with Hestia at the back and will exchange views on fire and furnace and metals and crafts if they have nothing to do; Artemis and Athena sit with them, drinking cold water or carbonated drinks if absolutely necessary; the shy guy and the silent one too; manages to clean up for the wedding though and rarely smiles when he takes a picture with the newly weds; gifts them amazing things though.

Ares: pounds the table when the couple kisses and exchange vows; the most enthusiastic person and the most hot tempered one too at the wedding; takes his girlfriend Aphrodite for a dance and dances quite elegantly to everyone’s surprise; gives the couple tips on how to wrestle and kill each other if they ever fight; hugs the hell out of the two and Apollo, Dionysus and Hermes.

Drawing: the most patient people ever, fan-girls over new equipment such as pastels or pencils, loose paper in the most random places covered with their sketches, doodles during class, loves listening to music from the 70s and 80s, easily makes friends because they can read people’s emotions, loves drinking matcha green tea

What a Journey It Has Been

Note: I don’t think this post can fully express how I feel about graduation. I’m not really good with words. But this is me trying.. :)

I still can’t believe I have graduated high school. Time really flies… fast. I feel like I’m still going to take the same route to the same school, see the same set of people, go to the same classroom, spend 8 hours with the same class, walk along the same hallways… and the list goes on. I guess it will start to sink in when school starts.. but I sort of don’t want it to sink in. :(

Get ready for post-sobbing + 4th year stress eyebags photos:  

I am so blessed to be placed in this amazing batch, Batch 2012, and meet these amazing people who have become my family and my home. Words can’t describe how amazing this batch is. I have to say that we are THE BEST BATCH EVER (sorry other batches, haha!). I am so blessed to be placed in this school, my home for 13 years, which has taught me so many lessons and gave me so many wonderful memories and experiences. My school and my batchmates, without them, I wouldn’t be who I am today. In fact, just to let all of you know, there wouldn’t even be Sophie’s Mom without them! My batchmates were our very first customers and pretty much started the whole thing. I owe it all to them. :)

Now, I can say that everything (all those never ending schoolwork, stress, zombie Sophie mode, no weekends, etc.) was worth it in the end. And sometimes we actually do get what we deserve. :)

Of course, I also thank my family who put me in this school and who have been working so hard to provide me with the best education. Also for their patience and understanding, especially when I am stuDYING and stressed! Haha!

And most importantly, I am forever grateful to God! Because without him, NONE of this is possible. Thank You for being my strength, hope and inspiration throughout this long journey. :)

Batch 2012, I know things will change. Definitely. But I hope we’ll never forget who we are and continue to dare to be radical. As a line of our batch song goes, “Don’t say goodbye, we’ll see each other again.” Hope we’ll never lose that bond even after years apart. :)

I love you Batch 2012. Long live all the magic we made. I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you. We will be remembered. 

Congratulations to my fellow graduates! Here’s to a new road! Here’s to COLLEGE!!!

P.S. Sorry for the semi-dramatic personal post! This is something I want to look back too one day. :)

P.P.S. My next posts are scheduled because I will be out of town for Holy Week. So just keep checking my site for new posts! ;) 

Person A: I can't take this anymore. Please take me out.

Person B: In the date kind of way or in the assassination kind of way?

Person A: Surprise me.
