The person that you will spend most time with in your life is yourself, so better try to make yourself as interesting as possible.

Here's my 2013, From Me To You

Hi! It was a fun-filled 2013 for me and I did some stuff that I didn't expect to do. You know, I will always be that girl who would rather...well let's say that I like Demi Lovato's "This Is Me" song from Camp Rock. Fave part is the "I've always been that kind of girl that hid my face". LOL. But then, I guess, this year, I experienced and tried a lot of things outside my comfort zone. 

It's my last year in college, so why not try everything and say YES all the time? 

School. I'm a lazy kind of student. I don't want to do homework and I don't even study for exams. But when I do...I just don't know what to do with my life. I like to do extra co-curricular activities more. Still, I always make sure that my GPA will make my parents' money worthy for the fee. 

The Paulinian made me very busy this school year. I'm happy that I said YES when I got invited to join the org because I was able to apply my so-called-photoshop skills. I only use them for fangirling before. Haha. If you want to see some of my works, just visit The Paulinian on facebook.  Like the page as well! People from TP made my last school year extra special. You get to do your stuff and you get to know other people! Cool. 

Manila Food Junkies, our thesis. Who doesn't like to eat? A research about food and social networking sites. Sweet. The only thing that I care less about is the paperwork! Visit MFJ so you can help us in terms of analytics and hits. 

Outside School. I haven't traveled that much this year. (Naks, as if nag travel last year ng sobra) We went to Iloilo last May and I enjoyed the trip but my old hard drive got busted and all of my files from October 2012 were gone. Some of them were my Iloilo Trip photos. Poof! Va-va-voom! I got so much hate to the world during those days. 

Pilipinas Natin, OJT, and Nation Building. Last sembreak, I joined a camp that was organized by our school and Pilipinas Natin. After that I participated in other activities that were also coordinated by the organization. It's nice to help others, just so you know. In fact, I decided to do my OJT in their office. My 150-hour service was all for Super Typhoon Yolanda Operation Walang Iwanan. I cried a lot when it happened and my supervisor almost sent me to Tacloban to document the relief operations. But it did not push through because the schedule was indefinite. Our office is somehow connected to Malacanang, Office of Special Concerns to be specific, share.  

Ask me if what are the things I learned during my training, go. Ask. Ok. I'm proud to say that I learned a lot. I learned how to use my phone; talk to other people;  how to make project proposals, budget, travel orders, and etc. I'm happy that they treated me as their kapatid and not as a student trainee from St. Paul. My 150-hour-training somehow made me to like our government. What I meant was it made me love our country more. Yes, I love you, Philippines! Very much.






Friends, parties and other activities. Another thing that's part of my 2013 remembering self is the spiritual retreat with the AB Psych. They're cool! They didn't make me feel that I'm not part of the group. I was not able to attend the scheduled retreat with my classmates because I was sick due to restless nights doing some commissioned projects. (Basta, they made my 2013 special)

 I met so many people this year and some of them became my friends. I was able to expand my circle and connections. They shared their time with me and we made unforgettable memories. 

BTW, I also tried to get drunk this year but Jack Daniel's wasn't able to do so.

Marami pa naman akong kwento ngayong 2013. Text nyo na lang ako (09153993008) di ko nga lang mahanap kung nasaan na cellphone ko. At baka di ko din makwento lahat kasi mas naka-save sa experiencing self ko kaysa remembering self ko ang mga naganap. Kaya maghuhugas na lang muna ng mga plato si Nanay.


Hello, 2014



-Fleryberry.

Balangayan Camp! Walang Iwanan! Hooowaaah!

CAMPING

The last exhausting camp I attended was 9 years ago.  Well, I did some camping during high school but it was not as tiring, nor exciting. Good thing I was able to join this year's Balangayan Camp.  Good thing I was able to join this year's Balangayan Camp. It made me realize that I have to start doing some exercise and stretches because what I learned during my girl scout days were somehow getting rusty.

We arrived there at 9:00 and had an orientation with Sir Toby. He's the representative of Pilipinas Natin. He was there to guide and help our school's facilitators.

Who would feel tiredness in this kind of place? Morning walk on the 2nd day

After that we had our boodle lunch. Eating using my hands is not new to me because I always do it when I feel that using eating utensils does not match what is served on the table.
Another orientation was made by Sir Toby, where he told us what Pilipinas Natin is all about and its mission. It was made solely for the Filipino Youth. Empowerment and social engagement. The real stuff started at 2:00 pm. We had a short walk to the drill venue. The challenges were labeled as BUNDOK, PATAG and GUBAT.

First stop. BUNDOK. 

For me, the first stop is second in terms of difficulty. You have to pass 8 drills to go to the next level. I forgot what those obstacles are called, so, I'll just name them.

• Tunnel (where-I-have-to-stoop-very-low-because-my-butt's-not-small-enough-to-fit)

• The Horizontal Rope Tunnel (was-so-easy-because-I'm-small-and-pulling-myself-was-easypeasy)

• The Swinging Tires (was-not-able-to-swing-to-the-last-tire-because-my-arms-were-too-tired...got-some-scratches) 

• The Spider Web (was-able-to-roll-twice-because-I-was-too-excited-to-let-go-of-the-rope) 

• The Tire Tunnel (easy-peasy...tsss)

• _________________

• _________________

• Hiking (easy-peasy...tssss)

Troyka flashed her sweetest smile while doing the Tunnel Tire Obstacle. Haha.

So yeah. Selfie. Roxanne took these photos, she told me that the first photo did not look like that I'm on a challenge. So, I flashed my oh-so-I'm-so-tired-I-wanna-rest-pose. Haha

The Bundok challenge was an individual battle. It's between you and your fears. 

Second stop. PATAG

This was the hardest among the challenges for me, because it  made me physically weak and mentally drained. The challenges were:

•  Drag Me
•  Leadership Walk
• ABC
• The Don't Touch the Straw
• Memory Game
• Water Relay
• Duck Walk
• Mud Roll

Hello there, Agel! Haha

Lorenz dragging Jem.

PATAG challenges were designed for small groups to work together and help each other to accomplish all the tasks.

GUBAT. The Last Challenge.

This was the most fun part of the Balangayan Camp because we were able to pass the challenge while we were blindfolded. It was dark and muddy. The downhills and uphills were too steep and slippery. 

The small groups were formed as one team. And we formed a one long line in order to start the trek. The trick was you have to hold the straw as a guide with your right hand and put your left on the shoulder or waist of the person in front of you. 

The first person in the line will guide the whole team of the things they should do. The funny part was when every time that the team leader would shout the instructions, every one would follow him, so, everyone would duck. Imagine almost 40 people ducking at the same time? Haha.  

Our "we-did-it-because-we're-great" group photo.

Morning walk with my girlaloos. 

And I'm so happy that I have added a new entry in my sembreak video collection. Watch! 

Are we missing something?

I got Agel's shoe! Woot! Woot! 

Hello there, sembreak! After a quarter. I could finally say that time moves so fast. Who could have thought that I was able to do a lot things. Yeah.

• I am now part of my school's official paper.
• I was able to be a part of an event which was somehow successful. Very successful. 
• Watched Juris in a live performance.
• I knew how to use Sony Vegas. Buhbye, Cyberlink!
• Our thesis defense was good.
• I had an awesome retreat with the AB Psych batch. 

After #TheFeast

1st sem was quite boring. But you can click and like the links. And the GIFs as well. 

Happy Vacation!

If you have plans this break, please invite me. PLEASE. 

Bucketlist No. 56

Bucketlist No. 56, checked! Wow. I finally got a chance to watch Juris Fernandez's show at Cash and Carry Makati last Saturday. And I will also watch her other shows this September. Yes. (Pagnagkapera)


Dear Bucketlist, 

         "Kinikilig ako. Kahit ako lang mag-isa at walang kasama sa fangirl moment ko. Grabe yung tuwa ko. Di ko ma measure. Umaapaw. Kahit muntik na kong masubsob sa bus, ay, nasubsob pala talaga ako kasi feeling ko lumulutang pa din ako nung pauwi na ko. Iba pala talaga ang live performance kaysa mp3. Hindi naman dahil iba yung pagkakanta. Pero yung feeling kasi na nasa harap mo mismo kumakanta. Iba eh. Nakakabuhay ng dugo. Kiligz. 

        Gusto ko na talaga MYMP (Make Your Mama Proud) kahit nung elementary pa ko. Iba kasi hagod ng boses ni Juris. Nakakatunaw. Kahit wala kang boyfriend sige, parang meron na din." 

                                                           (-bucketlist #56, August 31, 2013)


But I don't feel like  my checking no. 56 off on my bucketlist yet because I was not able to get a selfie with Juris. One of disadvantages of being alone in doing this kind of thing is that you can't take photos that you're the subject. (Medyo nakakahiya naman magselfie tapos DSLR gamit mo.) Sorry, I'm poor, I can't afford to buy a smartphone. And I hate smartphones. So, I'll do my best to watch her show on September 25 at Bagaberde and I'll drag some friends so that I can have my selfie with her na. < Ang conyo

Yes, I was seven meters away from her. Haha

Wondering if how many items are on my bucketlist? 

Tao: Isang Tagulaylay

"Ito'y maaaring kasaysayan ko, 

kasaysayan mo,

kasaysayan niyo

,

kasaysayan nating lahat!"

-Tao

                     'Yung bilib ko sa play nila, grabe. Gandang-ganda ako. Ang ganda ng musika, iba pala talaga pag-live. Ibang-iba. Tapos ang costume, bongga! Ang set, kakaiba. Simple lang, pero maganda sa mata. Pero ang pinakanabiliban ko ay ang pag-arte ng bawat karakter at higit sa lahat ang kwento. 'Yung kwento na tipong mapapatango ka sa bawat linyang binibigkas ng bawat karakter sa eksena. At matutuwa ka kasi bawat isa'y nabigyan ng pagkakataong magningning. Masasabi mo ngang may kwenta ang pagiging competitive ng bawat isa sa kanilang klase. Kaiba. Haha.

                       Sinadya ko talagang hindi panoorin ang run-throughs nila. Ayoko kasi, gusto ko ma-surprise. At na-surprise naman talaga ako. 

Galing ng gumanap na "Kamatayan" minsan lang siya lumalabas sa eksena pero kikilabutan ko. 

Galing ni Anj, kahit di ako nakabili ng ticket na binebenta nya. Feel na feel nya yung blue dress nya. Haha.

Ito ata ang pinakamabentang eksena ng Act 1. Dami kong tawa sa kanilang tatlo, lalo na kay Pakikisama No. 3. Yung naka-kulay kahel na bulaklaking damit. Ang benta.

Ang ganda ng costumes ng bawat karakter sa 7 Deadly Sins. 

"Parang sssssawa.

Kapag nabubusong, matutulog.

Kasalanan maging tamad."

Ito yung parte ng play na inantok ako. Hindi dahil sa hindi na ako natutuwa pero dahil

 nakakadala ang pag-arte ni Sloth. Tinamad ako bigla. 

Ewan ko sa'yo Loti. Natuwa talaga ako. 

Medyo na guilty ako dito. Medyo matakaw kasi ako. Medyo lang. Kasalanan pala ang pagiging matakaw. Nakakalungkot naman.

Ang landi lang ni Ate. Mahilig daw siya sa masalap. 

Galing din ni Kuya Arvin, master na niya ang Theater Arts.

Paboritong kuha ko. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Pero natuwa ako. Sinaksak ni Diablo si Tao dito at naghabulan sila ni Anghel. Medyo natuwa ako kasi kuhang-kuha yung pagmamadali ni Diablo na makatakas.

Sobrang galing din ni Tao! Babae 'yan sa totoong buhay, pero nakuha nyang maging lalaki sa loob ng anim na oras. Nakakabilib! 

           Sa kabuuan, sobrang natuwa ako sa kanilang palabas. Ito'y kapupulutan ng aral na maaari mong gamitin sa araw-araw, oras-oras.. Ito ay tungkol sa buhay ng isang Tao na nagpapakita ng pangkahalatang karanasan ng sangkatauhan. Siguro, pag...

Sa December daw ulit!
