I hardly ever chat online, the only times I do is when I talk to my parents and yeah before when I still had a boyfriend, anyways the other day I finally got myself MSN messenger, which I haven’t used in years, but was forced to download so I could send files to my group mates and yeah procrastinate together when we’re writing the report. Since I haven’t used my account in sooooo long, I was busy catching up with old contacts and yeah making idle talk. So here I was chatting away, while I was talking to a friend, you know one of those not so close friends but you talk to them once in a while. Anyways, when it was time to say goodbye I do the usual “nice talking to you! Goodnight!” thing, but my brain has been soo used to talking to my love ones that I totally forgot I was talking to a not so close friend and unconsciously typed, “take care! Love you!”. And he just happened to be a guy. Smooth Kamila, real smooth.

*AWKWARD SILENCE*.

I didn’t even know it was possible to have an awkward silence through chat. When I tried to do damage control my fingers seemed to be twice their normal size that when I tried typing I pressed 3 letters at the same time. So now, I’m forever that creepy girl he talked to and declared her “love” through MSN. Great.

I think I’m gonna stick to emails instead.

Hello! Remember me??

Once again, another month of not posting on this blog.  Inconsistency is my middle name. Actually, I joined the whole Tumblr craze and I regularly blog non-sense there. But this will still be my real blog, but hey if you have Tumblr let me know!

Anyway, I was woken up early this morning by a loud bang and sudden pain on my face. Apparently my bedside lamp decided to wake me up at 7 in the morning by falling onto my face. My fault, since the box that was holding the lamp up wasn’t really the sturdiest of surfaces, it was bound to give up one of these days. So I had no choice but to wake up and get frozen spring roles out of the freezer to sooth my 7am bump in the head. Which actually led to a productive day, so now that I’m done with all that I can blog.

So what have I been up to?

School, school, school. It’s that time of the year again where you cram 3 months worth of classes into a *insert a large number here that seem impossible to finish given the amount of time to do it* page report. To top it all off , next semester we have to intern in a company and country of our choice, and this internship searching was a lot harder than I anticipated. A LOT. I had three choices of countries to intern at:

1. Philippines. For obvious reasons.

2. Australia. I’ve never been there and I don’t know anyone there, so I figured it would be interesting. Plus they speak English!

3. Maldives. Don’t ask, I saw an internship placement there and it looked exciting.

Philippines and Australia are my top choices. I have about 3 months left to secure a placement, so wish me luck!

A quick rant

I have this idea that people are generally good people. I don’t know, maybe I was raised surrounded by loving people that when I witness people being assholes, being disrespectful, or just plain mean it still shocks me. I’m not saying that EVERYONE is evil or that I’m a good person but as much as possible I try not to be an ass to people I know and to the strangers who accidentally bump into me while walking down the street. But lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of errr.. negativity. Sure, they may be having a bad day, but man can you not take it out on me?

Aarhus

Apart from school and ranting, I’ve been visiting my friend Xingy in Aarhus, it’s the second or third?? I’m not sure.. largest city in Denmark and about an hour and a half away. So of course, my post wouldn’t be complete without pictures.

City Centre

When it was still warm enough to sit outside

Cafe Zurich

The best place to heal a hangover, plus they have awesome chilli burgers.

Do you ever have imaginary conversations with imaginary people in your head?

I’m officially on summer break, I survived the first year of uni. woohooo.. As of now, I’m exhausted. For the past couple of weeks I’ve neglected pretty much everything, dishes and laundry basket is stacking up, there are post-its, papers, and books all over the place, and I haven’t eaten a decent meal in almost 2 weeks. I AM TIRED. 65 pages, 20 something litres of coffee, a written exam.. and 2 oral exams later I’m finally DONE. I have to say I was pretty nervous, I hate oral exams, my mouth and brain never seem to function together, my heart feels like its pounding its way through my oesophagus and onto the exam table. Man, just thinking about it makes me nauseous. And hearing that around 50% of the students failed and said they were pretty much slaughtered in there didn’t help at all. Anyways, I made it out the exam room alive, the first one not soo good but still a pass. The second one was weird.. in a good way. In the end of the exam I found myself laughing with the examiners and making small talk when we finished, I don’t really care if they were laughing at me or with me but it made me feel at ease.

So, so far soo good. I passed the first year! I have 3 months of summer break to recover from this.. I’m now back to 10% brain activity. My parents are coming to Denmark in a couple of weeks which I’m pretty excited about and in less than a month I’m off to the Philippines.  But for now, I’m gonna make myself a big ass dinner, take a long and hot shower, and catch up on sleep.

I hope everything is good wherever you are!

For the three of you who still care, I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been so busy in school.. it’s the time of  year again where we gather pretty much everything we’ve learnt for the past 4 months and cram it all in a 36 page report and prepare for exams.  I’ve been stressing over it for the past couple of weeks if we’d finish on time, but yesterday at 7pm when the last piece of paper was printed and bounded was assurance that we’d make the deadline. You’d think after 12 years of primary education and high school we’d be good at this by now but really it just thought us to get used to stress.

Anywyas, apart from the school related stuff, I’ve been playing around in my kitchen trying to cook Filipino food or something that resembled it. I started off with Palitaw (rice cake patties covered in sugar and coconut shreds), which was kind of a success, I can’t say it’s my favourite Filipno snack but it was the easiest one I found online.

And yes, it come with pictures.. that’s a warning, not for viewing pleasure

Palitaw

And of course there were some rejects:

My next attempt was making Lumpia (Filipno version of spring rolls I think?). Since there was no Asia shop near by where I can buy the wraps I figured I could make it myself.  It couldn’t be that hard right?? I could never have been more wrong. It was hard! I could never get them thin enough without falling apart and most of the time they were too thick, that when I tried to fold them they kept on.. un-folding?

It looked nothing like my what my aunts used to make. But this is the closest I could get…

Then I moved on the Adobo, I’ve been trying to make adobo for the past couple of months but somehow I could never get it to taste like well.. good I’ve tried different version, with pineapple juice, without pineapple juice and yeah last nights adobo was probably the closest I got to something that resembles adobo the way I remember it to be.

I ended up with something looking like this:

For someone who could barely make sunny side up eggs without fucking them up, I believe I did good. I still have to work on my presentation skills though. I hope the pictures didn’t make you throw up or something.

Afternoons are probably the worst time to try doing anything productive, particularly on a Sunday. The way the sun is shinning through my window, I can’t seem to get my ass off my bed and do anything. The Filipino in me want to just keep sleeping, it reminded me of the time when I was little, our house in Palawan is on a mountain, so during he afternoon when the sun was shinning the most, everyone just lounged around at home having their marienda, watching TV, or sleeping…basically it was way too hot to do anything that involves leaving your spot for more than a 3meter radius.  I know it’s not too hot right now, but still, the sun in the afternoon always makes me soo lazy when I’m indoors.

Speaking of sunshine, Denmark  has been experiencign good weather lately, I don’t want to jinx anything, but I’m pretty sure this won’t last too long. I’m not being pesssemistic, it’s just how it works here. But yeah, it’s been soo nice lately, for what? 3 weeks the weather has been awesome and when it does go away, I’m gonna miss it soo much.

For now, I’m gonna keep lying in bed doing absolutley nothing.

I’m a vibrating ball of excitement!
