Sometimes, you find out bad things about people, and suddenly it's all you can think about whenever you see them. And then there are times when they surprise you for the better. And that's the way things are; nobody's perfectly good or bad, and everything's just a big ball of circumstances and uncertainty.

There's this thing I really want...
But it isn't the easiest thing to get. In fact, only a handful of people are ever given that opportunity.
Someone I know, unfortunately, is one of these people.
And it sucks.
But this is me, letting go; letting God do the rest; trusting Him to know what's best for me, and hoping against hopes that I do get it.
This is me setting myself free... from the chains I've bound myself with. This is me, letting go of the pressure, desire, and apprehensions.
I'm spreading my wings, and flying for the first time.
And darn does it feel good.
Xoxo

Bea's Top 10 Love Teams (2012)
I thought I'd make one of these again, since it's been two years since the original one.
Click the link -> Bea's Original List of Top 10 Love Teams (2010-2011)
(ah, back when I was addicted to the squiggly, which is like the universal fangirl symbol)
Anyway, here goes. As usual, there's commentary. :)
1.) Jily (AKA L/J)
James Potter and Lily Evans from Harry Potter. To attempt to describe how much I love this ship would be useless. I've been shipping them for two straight years now, starting roughly two months after I wrote my original "Top 10 Love Teams" list. I'd always accepted them as a couple since the first Harry Potter books, but it wasn't until the third one that they started piquing my interest. Sirius Black played a big role in this, since he became my favourite character, and I started getting curious about the Marauders. By the time I read Snape's Worst Memory, I was sold. There is just something so perfect about Jily, that you can't ever not ship it again once you have started. It has love, hate, passion, humor, and tragedy. It's the canon of all cannons. I mean, he was a chaser, and she hated him, and everything is just a big puddle of feels.
2.) Percabeth
Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase from Percy Jackson. They were my first ship ever. I shipped them before I even knew what 'shipping' was. Back then, I called it 'supporting a pairing'. We all wanted them to end up together since the first book, and the underwater kiss on The Last Olympian was long awaited.
3.) Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy (AKA EliDarcy)
From Pride and Prejudice, of course. I'm a sucker for love-hate stories, and theirs was like Chocolate Vanilla pudding. With cherry on top. When Darcy described her as 'tolerable, but not handsome enough to please me', I exploded right then and there.
4.) Amy Pond and Rory Williams
From Doctor Who. Confession Time: I shipped Amy and Eleven really hard before I turned over to the other side. At first, I wasn't sure if Amy really loved Rory back, but 'The Girl Who Waited' removed all my doubts.
5.) Channy
Sonny Monroe and Chad Dylan Cooper from Sonny With A Chance. Some childhood things just stick to you, and some feelings (or in this case, pairings) just don't ever go away or fade. Good? Good. Fine? Fine!
6.) Tokka
Toph Beifong and Sokka from Avatar. Toph was my favourite character, and her very obvious crush on Sokka was very cute. I love Suki and all, but Sokka, in my opinion, should have ended up with Toph.
7.) Rankane
Ranma and Akane from Ranma1/2. Another one of my childhood fetishes. Also a love-hate thing. This time, it's both of them who keep denying their blatant love for the other. Another plus, they're fiances!
8.)Peeniss
Peeta Mellark and Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games. I remember when everyone had a hard time looking for a ship name, and everyone settled on 'Peeniss' even if it was... well, you know. It would also sound awkward if shippers said 'I love Peeniss!' Anyway, I can't understand why other people like Gale and Katniss together, but I totally respect their opinion. Still, Peeta was the guy with the bread, the dandelion in the spring. How can you not?
9.) Sydrian
Sydney Sage and Adrian Ivashkov from Bloodlines, which is the pin-up series of Vampire Academy. Smart girl meets Bad Vampire Boy Who Got Used By Good Vampire Girl makes a wonderful story. It was hard to decide between this ship and Peeniss-- which should have gone higher on my list, but I ultimately chose Peeniss. It was a close fight, though.
10.) Zammie
Zach Goode and Cammie Morgan from Gallagher Girls. Cammie is cool, and Zach is Goode. Enough said.

Hello 2013
This year's new years celebration is very uneventful compared to last year. Last year had food, fireworks, and music, and this year, my family's just... jamming. My brothers are playing TF2; parents are watching TV, I'm blogging (as usual), and my little sister is doing who knows what. Our midnight snacks comprise of sandwiches (Nutella and spam). Our music, meanwhile, is an odd mixture of firework sounds and team fortress special effects.
Strangely enough, it doesn't feel like any less of a new year.
Anyway, I'm writing this to record what my family is doing, however boring it might be, because these things tend to become nostalgic and wonderful over time.
Anyway, Bea here signing off. I don't want to miss the countdown.
2013 Motto: Carpe Diem!
XOXO

A day before doomsday
First of all, dear reader, you will have to understand that this post was written on December 20, 2012 at 1:19 pm- one day before the supposed end of the world. I'm writing this on behalf of all human beings who were alive at this point in time. I'm writing this in case a few of our race survived or evolved into a new species. I write this to tell you what has been happening here and the insanity that has ensued.
At this point, anything could happen. Scientific evidence leads us to believe that nothing will happen tomorrow. NASA even made a video that 'ensures' why the world won't end. Nevertheless, in case all of these organizations were wrong; in case the Mayans did know what they were doing; in case you, dear reader, are a new species I can't pretend to ever be able to comprehend, you have me to thank for.
On the other hand, if everything goes swell, and December 21, 2012 ended up being another average Christmas day, this was really fun to write; and who knows, could be featured in a museum sometime in the future.
Some A good number of us has been sent into panic- a firsthand example being a classmate of mine who cries every time 'end of the world' is mentioned. The other half, meanwhile, end up ranting about how stupid and silly everyone is being. Then, there are people like me who are fine with anything- end of the world or not.
Whatever happens tomorrow, know that the human race was incredible; that it was brilliant; that it created a lot of things; that it changed how the earth itself functioned; above all, know that the human race will not have gone down without a fight.
xoxo
