- taking a rest. I do want to turn my mindset into a vacuum. I don't want to think of anything else other than to sleep...sleep..sleep! I'm not feeling well because of this slimy fluid stuck in my nose..grrr!
- having a food trip. Gotta take a little time saving some bucks for it! I want to feed my appetite for some gourmetized delicacies.
- the fare increase. Damn it! It really gets into my nerves. Everything's hiking fast. It's as if they're having a race or something. Give us a break! we're going way too low.
- how to get rid of those unnecessary things. I thing it's time for cost-CUTTING! The situation is getting worse every now and then.
- how to convince my mom to permit me for Reeka's debut celebration on August 2. Poor me, she refused it. It's so sad because that's supposed to be the first time I'm going to attend a formal debut party.
- of many other things. But i think i have to go now cause it's already time for our AH4 Class.
This niche is a collection of my diverse thoughts on food, travel, fashion, literature, basically, on anything under the sun. When you happen to stumble upon Mystic Nymph, I hope you find your way back. Vous prends plaisir a lire! Enjoy reading!

Pen is mightier than the sword
It was a moment of intense tension. Tears dripped all over everybody's cheeks. Heartbeats seemed to heat up my insides making me numb for a little while. I was so confused with what to feel. Mixed emotions dominated my heart. I prayed so hard to hear what I wanted to hear.
What place would I be at? The worst question could be, Do I really have the chance to win this competition? Those were the things running in my mind while waiting for the announcement of winners in the Division Schools Press Conference. All of us crossed our fingers and closed our eyes. It was really a nerve-wrecking hour.
Six students brought glory in our school. I was fortunately on of them. Nothing else felt good than savoring the sweetness of victory. That added up to my happiness and fulfillment.
It would definitely help a lot if you enjoy writing despite the difficulties. Nothing is called wonderful if it didn't pass any distress at all. You couldn't appreciate one thing unless you accept its strain. I could say i love writing though I know sometimes my works are unappreciated.
My writing experience began when my mother transferred me to a public school. Teachers there sharpened students in different fields especially in writing. This skill should be enhanced because not everyone knows how to write substantial compositions. Some just have the confidence to speak in a huge crowd but poor in making good speech. Some even opt to hire someone to write their speech.
I had undergone many trials when I chose campus journalism as my world for six long years. It was in grade 5 when I first encountered creating an essay. With all honesty, I would say that I really had a hard time in doing even one paragraph. It crushed my heart and troubled my mind whenever our English teacher required us to pass one for our formal composition.
It wasn't very easy dealing with teachers who expect a lot from their students. You tend to be conscious composing such essays. As a beginner back then, I used to believe that length is one of the factors to impress readers. Yes, I write to impress, but that was before. I used to be so proud whenever composition reaches the back of my paper. I got overwhelmed whenever my classmates complimented it and eventually envied it.
I was really childish then. I really was. I even thought of going around the bush just to lengthen my work. However, as time passed by, that kind of mentality slowly rushed out from my head. Realizations began to conquer my mind.
I learned from Ed Fernandez's lecture to write as we talk. We write all things that pops out our mind like we are just conversing with people. But of course proper organization is also necessary.
One more thing that I learned was that we must write to express not to impress. This passage suited me because I used to write with one aim in mind- to get people's attention. That was a wrong intention that lead me astray before.
Writing continuously teaches me a lot of things each day. I consider it as a treasury box of new escapades ahead. It is only in writing where you broaden your mind and ensnare your senses.
My experience with this skill made me boost my self-confidence somehow. Because of this skill, I achieved a lot of things I never thought I would have. Though I'm not genius enough in writing, I still could say that I have proven my worth as a campus journalist.
To sum it all up, my life in writing is one heck of an adventure. The things you learn from it is continual. Experiences and the realizations you get from it is never-ending. You just have to be tough to endure its sharpenings.
Here you find out that reality and fantasy could be one when you believe.

To be or not to be? (Being single and having an affair)
--- This was the Compare and Contrast paper I submitted to our AH1 Lecturer Maam JC Duhaylungsod. It was the first semester of my first year in UP---
I was out the other night for a reunion with my high school classmates. When I saw them, I felt like hugging them all at once. We were so overwhelmed with each other's presence. We talked a lot about the things that happened to us. We sure missed a lot of noteworthy experiences of everyone.
One talked about her boyfriend. She got pinned to boy who played the lead guitar in a band. Sh bragged a lot about how sweet he is to her. She could not stop reminiscing how wonderful their first date was. She even elaborated on how passionate he kissed. while she was having her romance spilled, I was just sitting blankly before her. Actually I didn't even mind her talk. I didn't want to listen to her. Could that mean something?
I would have to admit that I must be insecure about her state. But do I have to envy her? I have a lot of realizations for both sides of the coin. What could be that to sides It is being single and being attached. What would you rather choose folks?
these mumbo jumbo talks about love could be very cheesy in a way. We have had enough of this matter. But this time, I would like to cite the differences of the choices I mentioned earlier. That could be a very interesting ground to tread on.
To have or not to have a romantic affair with someone is a choice. It depends on your mood. We give love because we feel lke giving it out. But sometimes even though love comes right in front of you, you still opt not to mind it. You choose not to put too much weight on all those crap about lovesick thing. SEE? Love isn't really blind. It's just that we don't feel like falling in love sometimes.
Whenever I see couples hold hands, I honestly feel so annoyed. Why do i feel that way? It's a clear sign of insecurity. That is what those single and unencumbered usually feel. I have to be honest that I'm irritated seeing lovers because I always wanted to have one. But I don't consider that as a big problem anyway. That's out of the picture... and that's what you call denial! But of course many would rather stay single than settle.
So many people are depressed because they don't have somebody.It may be true that having someone can help add to your happiness and fulfillment. I believe that can occur when we find the right person that suits us. But i can also recall a lot of people that are in relationships that are miserable. They're not happy at all. in fact. they feel like they are just trapped. Many of them would give anything to be single.
Many people say that it is boring to stay single. All i can say is that it's all in the mind. You can never feel it unless you won't think of it over and over. It's actually a blessing in disguise. You don't need to rant about the problems you and your partner have. You just have to care about yourself and nothing else.
When you're single, you can do whatever you want. No questions asked. No guilt about doing things either. You don't have to make excuses. You don't have to call your partner to check on his permission to go somewhere.You need not to care more on your time management. Your time is exclusively for you.
You're as free as a bird when you're single. When you're hands aren't tied,you can go wild anytime and anywhere because nobody would care...except for your parents!You won't get paranoid whether or not you made your partner as mad as a hatter. Perhaps rightly so, that would really cause a grave trouble. You'll never know when heartbreak attacks.I'm sure you will never want to entertain that heart with a zigzag at the middle.
But what if suddenly you got hitched? What could be it's advantage? What difference does it make when you have an affair with someone?
It's true that one of the most enjoyable parts of having a relationships being able o fulfill your romantic fantasies. You know, the one being swept off your feet by a knight in shining armor or rescuing the damsel in distress?
Having a special someone by your side eases your anxieties somehow. They make you forget about any negative emotions. You tend to focus your mind on them and not on anything going on around you. Sure, you get inspired when they are around you.
Our happiness depends on our choice. We are the the only ones responsible for our own happiness. When we're single. let's enjoy our freedom while we can. When we're attached, let's try to strengthen our bond with that special someone and let not anything break it.

Dresses
I'm longing to have a new dress. Dresses make us girls look more feminine. They infuse a kind of energy that works well for every lady in the universe. They make us look fragile which i could say is a positive aura. If I have the money, I would spend them all for dresses.
Lend me your ears
This is a nice song. Whenever the intro strikes, I can't help but slow down for a while. It's an emotional song and I think everyone who gets the chance to listen to it feels sympathetic to the one singing the song. Have great time listening to it tout le monde!

I kissed a girl By Katy Perry
This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It’s not what, I’m used to
Just wanna try you on
I’m curious for you
Caught my attention
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don’t mean I’m in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it
No, I don’t even know your name
It doesn’t matter
Your my experimental game
Just human nature
It’s not what, good girls do
Not how they should behave
My head gets so confused
Hard to obey
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don’t mean I’m in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it
Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain’t no big deal, it’s innocent
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don’t mean I’m in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it
---------It's a nice song indeed. It shows how a girl experimented on the song. But I don't think I can do what she did. It sucks. It's somewhat unethical to have an affair with the same gender.

How well do you speak English?

The film Pygmalion showed how an English expert transformed an ordinary florist into a fine lady. Professor Higgins has a formula for turning Eliza into a lady. He brought her up in a lifestyle that is far from the ordinary. He also taught her things , from the simple to the complicated ones, that are needed to be learned as a duchess-like woman.
There are many things that I would like to get rid of with the way I speak English. I believe that even though it is not our native language, we should still be conscious in dealing with it. I could say that it really creates a big impact when you know the language very well.
I, for one, would want to improve my English speaking skills. I don't think I'm already that good. If I could fix three things about the way I speak English, those would probably be my intonation, fluency and vocabulary.
Intonation because there are a lot of times that I get so conscious with the rising and lowering of the tone in a sentence. Sometimes I tend to forget when should I raise my voice in a question. The problem with me is that I speak in a passive tone for neutrality's sake. If that is so, nobody would correct me if I use the wrong tone.
The second one is my fluency because I have a tendency to forget everything that I'm supposed to say whenever I talk to someone in English. Again, it's because of consciousness. I stutter and stop in mid-sentences. That happens many times already.
The last one is my vocabulary. I still want to learn more words and other idiomatic expressions in English. I think those could help me a great deal. With lots of those in my memory bank, I believe I will be much better.
I firmly believe that everything is just in the mind. Nothing gets difficult when you believe you can. We must think that we are good at something so that nothing can beat us up.

Midnight Crisis (Sour Graping)
I have never tried going out somewhere at night. They say it's fun partying at Pop's or in Autoshop or anywhere else. Some people love spending their whole night with those people they don't even know.
I couldn't see the significance of partying. It's just a waste of time. I guess you could say I'm just a kill joy person, but that's how I see it. You spend most of your money for some useless things like liquor, cigarettes, and some sort.
Hot ladies in their best apparels stay in the club to hunt some big catch. It's useless! Girls there just wear masks to anybody by their hook. Whenever they get drunk, their biggest mistakes usually happens. That could be the beginning of losing their dignity. Well, from the very beginning they have already lost it though. So pathetic.
Hanging out at night is dangerous. I've been used not to have night life. It works for me. Partying costs lots of money. We should consider that money doesn't just grow on trees. we could just save it for better purposes.
