while eating chocolate cake..
..and printing my homework, I decided to change my layout and blog. Super bilis lang talaga nito, wala pa atang 15 minutes. I fell in love with the lay the other day pa, ngayon ko lang na-change. SO how's my life so far?
- Everyone's in college application chaos these past weeks. Especially for UP. Since they're the school with the earliest deadline, everybody's rushing to get theirs submitted. I got my test permit already, I'm taking the UPCAT on August 5, 12:30 pm at the Institute of Chemistry. Waaaah! This is for real!
- I love SCT. Super nakakasunod ako sa mga moves. I can pass as a soldier pala. Well, almost. Haha.
- I just realized that almost all our teachers are oldies. Haha. Yung mga tipong expert na sa field nila. Kaya scary. Ang hihirap pa magpa-quiz, almost every meeting! But fun all the same, because di ba nakakatawa yung kacornihan ng jokes ng old teachers? Haha. For me, at least! =P
- I so hate the yearly Physical Fitness Test. I always end up in pain the following day!
- Mrs. Lee is so funny. Haha.
- So is Ms. Pepito (kanina, haha). And Ms. Pabelico. And yeah, okay, Mrs. Torres na rin. Haha!
- But nothing beats Ms. Toledo! YEAH! =)
- Takot ako sa Filipino teacher namin. Wahaaah.
- Swimming already on Friday!
- I'm falling more and more in love with PHYSICS! ♥
- I lost my elephant pencil case (with my G-Tecs in it!) HUHU! =(
- Journal writing for Accounting -- UGH. Exciting, but nakakapagod if you're doing it for three straight hours!!
- I'm enjoying Biochem because I'm getting it, haha.
- I'm broke! Pareho kami ni Nica, wala ng pera. And I refuse to use the money I saved. I'm determined to save lotsa money! =P
- We're going to go to UP Diliman and Ateneo on Saturday. My mom and dad's going to tour me.
- I hope I can get my DLSU and UST Application Forms this week, probably.
- I'm still LSS-ing on "Samson" by Regina Spektor.
- The Torch of the Fantastic Four is Hot with a capital H!
- BUT NATHAN'S STILL HOTTER!! ♥
- Our class retreat's on September na! Whee!
and last but most definitely not the least..
- Our graduation day's already set: March 16, 2008!! =) Waah, we cannot wait!
So far, Senior life is quite chaotic, because like what I said, everyone's arranging their application forms and inquiring about their courses. It really is different from all the other year levels. But I'm enjoying it right now, because even though our load is heavy, our schedule is so.. light. Haha, I mean, parang ang konti lang ng subjects namin. But that's because of the double periods though. Anyway, I hope everyone else is enjoying the school year so far. Can't wait to hear from you guys! =)
I hope my dad brings home a chocolate cake for me when he gets home later. Hehe. I'm craving for sweets!! Waaaah! =)

She's a modern lover; it's an exploration, she's made of outer space
Hello, I'm Karla Bernardo. If you Google my name, you will find the Wikipedia entry of a Canadian serial-killer (and trust me, you do not want
to read about that - but I'm sure you will because now you're curious), which is why I suggest you type Bombastarr instead so you can stalk me better.
I spent eight-and-a-half years of my life in the University of the Philippines, where I graduated with degrees in Creative Writing and Juris Doctor. It is also where I learned how to speak a bit of Italian, got a taste of the best tapsilog, and took striptease for PE.
I love telling stories, as much as I enjoy finding them.

Ask, and you shall be answered
Got a comment, question, violent reaction, love letter, or random piece of information you want to share with me? Just fire away. I don't bite.
(I changed my form and went back to Freedback because Ask.fm's being a bitch, requiring people to sign up for accounts before asking questions. Because I love you guys, I tweaked my ask box a bit, so that the questions will now go directly to my e-mail, but I'll be posting the answers still on my Ask.fm for convenience. TL;DR - I'll still be getting your questions so no worries. You're still free to harass me / send me your love.)

Bombastarr.com
Bombastarr is my personal blog and my little corner in the Internet since 2005. Yes, I started writing here when I was 13 years old (aka when I was very angsty, hormonal, and always gushing at the littlest things) -- ergo, you'd have to forgive me if you come across an old post that reeks of immaturity and slightly unpolished grammar. I did a lot of growing up here, and from the looks of it, there's still a lot of growing up to do, so I don't think I'll be leaving this place any time soon.
The domain, Bombastarr.com, was purchased on June 2014 and
launched on July 2014, on the blog's ninth year (and fifth month, to be exact).
It's crazy to think that this blog is now thirteen years old, because (1) that seems like an eternity in internet years, and (2) that means if my blog were a kid, it's a teenager! That's insane.
Here's to more tales, explosive and otherwise.
So, why Bombastarr?
If you've been living under a rock and think I'm a threat to world peace or an object of covetousness, sorry to disappoint you, folks: it's just a fancy pseudonym.
As in most things, it started in high school. It began as a joke between me and a couple of friends during our freshman year. We were practicing for a field demonstration dance which involved the use of shawls, and being the crazy-always-trying-to-be-funny person that I was (or I always attempted to be) I started doing poses with the garment. Someone started taking my picture using my phone, and one shot looked like I was posing for those B-list movies (or should it be R-list, as in R-rated?) of the vegetable-nomenclature variety. #IKYWIM. Hence, the word, "Bombastarr." Yes, very cheeky, I know, but for a 13-year-old, it was quirky enough to figure as a username. That was 2005, right around the time I trying to decide on a URL for a new blog. It's been a lot of years since, and what started as a joke became something I've eventually embraced as an identity.
Despite the many other chances I've gotten to permanently move (to Multiply, Livejournal, Tumblr, Wordpress; to a bigger platform where I can earn or use the blog as a venue for commerce), I've come to realize that Bombastarr is something I can never truly leave behind. It is a place I've grown to appreciate and love because it is a place I can call my own. It's a venue for my rants, my views, my writing. It is home, and it is who I am.
Bombastarr is a glimpse of my life: the thoughts, ideas, and stories that shape it into what it is, and what it will still become. This journal has been with me for all my crazy, often embarrassing adventures, but I'm sure there will be more anecdotes and feelings and people to write about. Which is something I'm really looking forward to. After all, you know what they say about the greatest stories - sometimes, there's still a lot that's left unwritten.
