Summer

I'm so lazy. I didn't blog for a while, I stopped my daily exercise and I ate a lot during vacation. I lose my discipline. Where the hell have I been? As I am typing this thing now I really don't know what to say but I'll just continue it anyway. Summer vacation made me spoiled like Paris Hilton (or am I exaggerating a little). I spend a lot of money, went here and there, do these and that.

I reunited with my brothers and sisters - high school friends! We went out of town for a day at Paradise Resort (somewhere in Bulacan). I haven't spend a lot of time with them during university days. And It feels good having fun with old friends and seeing they're still the same people you knew. I love them a lot. They are great people.

 We just arrived. Morning at resort.

Hotdogs and Us. Haha. Grilling hotdogs plus team work! :)

 The girls

 Swimming time!

The drowning puppies. Haha!

Farewell time :((((((((

We don't have a lot of pictures and I didn't even bring camera. Maybe we focus with each other's company. Damn, I hope there's another thing like this next year.

Next, another I-smell-a-reunion-here event. Wilma May @ 18. Oh my! She's already a lady. We went here and I didn't expect that I was giving up a speech so there, I don't even say a sentence or two. I'm one of 18 candles, the 7th if I can recall. And it was my first time so no doubt I fail to say anything. Haha! And I'm not good at speaking (stop it, you're having a lot of reason). I see friends whom I haven't seen the most, like Louis and FA and more. The night is beautiful, and so are we. Haha.

My bestfriend and I - The early birds! Haha.

Kurt

Hurjae

    Friends! (L-R: Bim, Hurjae, Judeline, Me, Chelsi and Mel)

Swagg bessy! Haha. (L-R: Hurjae, Camela, Chelsi, Me, Dave and Judeline)

 THE UNEXPECTED CANDLE SPEECH! Haha. (Aka seconds of embarassment)

Us.

After the party, I stayed at my best friends house and I wanted to stay awake for long to have fun but I really can't get into it. So I sleep early while she was dating with her laptop. I bet she have fun too. Haha.

Experience Bataan

After getting so disappointed for a first hell week of October, the second week retrieve its 'hellness' and give back a good karma. 

In my whole life, I've only been in Bataan twice. The second time happened just last week (October 9-11, 2011). The CTHTM Travel and Tours Agency offered an open tour for BTM students and after a professor required this tour for a specific subject, we grabbed the opportunity not to missed it. Sunday, the 9th day of October, we met on our university department at 4AM. Because the road is not congested during the dawn, I arrived exactly at the given time. Although, some problems happened that day that caused us to depart late as 6AM. But after all, the tour went very well.

At Bataan Tourism Center

Meet Hazel, my seatmate on the bus

           

Imagine how high it was (302 ft.)

From the entrance of the resort

BTM fellas!

DAY 1

Before having lunch, we already arrived at Bataan.

First stop is Bataan Tourism Center where you can buy some pasalubong stuffs like Araro cookies and key chains which I bought. Next is Mt. Samat where you can see the 302ft. cross known as Dambana ng Kagitingan. From there, we went straight to the resort where we stayed for 3 nights.

West Nuk Beach

DAY 2

Early in the morning after they feed us breakfast, we went to the West Nuk Beach. A beautiful beach hidden after the zigzag road in Bataan power plant. We had activities there and we got the second place (out of three other teams). After playing hard, we played with the strong waves of the sea, so good and so refreshing!

So active!

THE BUS: Beep! Beep! Beep! aka Yellow Team

Girls <3

 DAY 3

I can't move my body anymore! Hahaha. I've been in water for the last 48 hours of my life in Bataan but see me in Day 3, I'm still alive and kickin'! I just want to enjoy and had the best of it (for me to have no regrets at all).

After having lunch, we bid our goodbye with the resort. Good bye to the wonderful jacuzzi, swimming pools, playing area, small-fishes-that-bites-foot, to Justine 2 (our room that made us not to sleep there again!), to Justine 1 (the other room of girls where we sleep on the 2nd night), to the servants of food, to the delicious foods since day 1 that made us really FAT! To the unforgettable experience in Morong, Bataan's Vista Venice. Adios.

Good morning room mates!

We went here after leaving checking out at the resort

Did you know? That Pawikan Conservation Center in Bataan is not supported by the government. They don't want to get salary from the superiors because with money, the act of voluntarism might disappear. They are awesome people who loves the earth. Let us support them. SAVE TURTLES. SAVE OUR SEAS. OUR FUTURE. 

I 99% enjoyed the whole package tour. Although, there are places which is under renovation, not in good quality, doesn't have electric energies/power (because of the typhoons that made this tour delayed). Things are not perfect to be fitted in this world. I'm really glad that I get back in Manila in good health (no worries for mom). And now I'm embracing Bulacan with an evenly tan skin and aching muscles. But it's been a week, and I have recovered from the haggardness. Thanks God!

Summer 2011

Summer. One-of-the best season!
Summer= Swimming time! :D


Jed's Island Resort. April 5, 2011
Calumpit, Bulacan
United P&P (Paul and Peter)

Imagine an outing with four cars and forty-five persons. The day was really exciting and fun! We ate too much, rest a little, and bond a lot. We even swam to private pools without getting noticed! Haha. And we even saw Carmina Villaroel. (She had shooting at Jed's that time.) Then before we go home, we went at Mcdonalds' drive-thru. These 45 people made my day. Swear!

4k Garden Resort. April 13, 2011
Sta. Maria, Bulacan
Saint Paul's Outing

I chose to commute because it's nearby home. But still, I don't know how to... and it was my first time commuting alone at Sta. Maria. But it turned out so well. I didn't got lost. Hahaha. And I was the first one to arrived. So, I waited for them for so long.. But "it worths the wait."

Even though, we are not complete... we still did it. We encountered problems 'bout different schedules so we're not complete. But in our hearts, we'll always be the same persons.. Paulininans for eternity.

The good and the bad: Part 2.

5 days before 2011.

JUNE 2010. I'm a late enrolee and that's my choice. I found out that my best friend and I would not land on the same section. Frustrating. I'm super mad and pensive. On my three years in high school, we never fall apart. Fourth year is my last year in high school. Sobrang pagkasiphayo talaga nung nalaman ko yun, nakakawalang gana. But my mother talked to my adviser and screw some things. Finally, we're now enjoying our last year as 'classmates'. I love you mom! *Laughs

MAY 2010. Pauline Reyes and I became even closer. We baptized ourselves by having pseudonym. She calls me des for destiny and I called her tad for tadhana.I earned another friend. :)

APRIL 2010. Swimming AGAIN! I love swimming. :) For me, summer is incomplete without this. And I'm not afraid that my skin will become darker (ONLY if it's summer). This time, my classmates in second year and I went to North River Side Resort and Leisure Park at Meycauayan, Bulacan. The swimming was sponsored by my friend for the celebration of his birthday.

The good and the bad: Part 1.

6 days before 2011.

Let's have a wonderful countdown. Tonight, I want to start my 'wonderful countdown' by reminiscing all the memorable things that happened this 2010; the good and the bad. Let me refresh my mind as I tell you the things that I want and I'm ready to share.

MARCH 2010. Signing of clearance. In our school, the teachers signed the clearance by section. And because I love my classmates, I appointed myself to bring the clearance to the teachers. It's quite hard but all good. I feel the summer part every time the signing of clearance is coming. Hihi.

COCC's sword training, tiring. That's all. Hahahaha. I told Blogger about my COCC life months ago.

March is Ma'am Jobelle's, Kurt, Faye, and Chelsi's birthday. My peers who are close to the top of my lungs. :)

Swimming. It is a tradition in my batch to have a 'whole section out-of-town swimming.' We had our swimming last March 29 at Dream Waves on Bocaue, Bulacan. I love swimming even though I can't swim.

FEBRUARY 2010. Busy month for a junior student like me. We had tapings, practices, and exams. One month before the summer vacation. We practiced really hard for our dance showcase in JS Prom. As a first timer, of course, I'm pretty nervous and excited. Our theme was dedicated for the "King of Pop" Michael Jackson. If you want to want our video, here's the link: SDPS Dance Showcase.

Then, we had tapings for our movie project Noli Me Tangere. I used to be the script writer. The shooting lasts for almost 7 days. I am so proud after we finished the last shoot because on our everyday shooting, I'm always present. I'm there to stay, guide, help and become the all-around staff. Hahahaha. (Sorry for the 3rd part) :)

We had so much hardship because of this movie but still we end up by giving our very best. Lord, thank you for the bonus, the bonding moments. :))

Examinations. Our school is becoming very fair when it comes to our non-academic and academic activities. That's why they scheduled our exams the day after our JS Prom. Ang saya di ba!? Hahahaha. They didn't want to spoiled us after all.

JANUARY 2010. The most awaited day this year is the coming of a new year, January 1, 2010. My family and I celebrated our medianoche at San Jose del Monte Bulacan.

The celebration is not as fabulous as you thought. We made it simple. The foods, the firecrackers, and everything. It was fun an that was the most important thing. We're happy.
