Not-so-good day

Hindi ko talaga araw ngayon. 

May klase ako ng 12AM. May dalawang sasakyang nagkabanggaan bago mag-Balintawak tapos may isang jeep at truck na nagkabanggaan pagkalagpas ng Balintawak. Ang resulta, trapik. Pagkatapos nito sumakay ako ng jeep papuntang University. Huminto yung makina ng jeep. Nagmistulang statwa kami ng mga limang minuto. Tapos walang ginawa yung mamang tsuper. Siguro mga siyam na jeep din yung dumaan bago siya nagka-ideya. Pinatulak niya yung jeep gamit yung jeep na nasa likod namin (na parang binabangga para umandar). Sa wakas, umandar na yung makina, byahe na ulit kami. 45 minuto pa ang lumipas bago ko makarating sa klase. Pero huli na ang lahat.

Run for a Safety Road

My block mates/Transportation Mngt. students

Last Sunday (November 20, 2011), We went to SM Mall off Asia Concert Grounds to celebrate the "World Remembrance Day" for Road Traffic Victims. The 3rd Sunday of November every year has been declared by the United Nations as Remembrance Day for Road Traffic Victims. The day is created as a means to give recognition to victims of traffic crashes and the plight of their loved ones who must cope with the emotional and practical consequences of these tragedies.

The program starts for about 4PM, TM students, coast guards, and other guests participated for a 3 and 5 kilometer run. (I was a little bit late that time). After the fun run, they announced the winners for the different activities such as slogan making, poster making contest and the fastest runner. Then about 6:30PM we started the lighting of lanterns. It was my first time doing that kind of thing and I had never imagined that lighting of lantern was that hard and scary. (You need to light the candle and hold the lantern and wait  for it to accumulate the needed air for it to fly).

It was hard but it was really fun. So after lighting a lot of lanterns, I've been a veteran. Haha. And FYI, the lanterns symbolizes the lives of every road victims. And we had a total of 12,000 lanterns there. After the lighting of lanterns, we watched the fireworks display. It was an awesome night. Also, after the run, we had received a necklace with a tag "Decade of Action for Road Safety (2011- 2020)". 


After the event, I'm still asking everyone of you to STAY SAFE. FOLLOW THE RULES IN ROAD AND BE AWARE. As my slogan says, Knows road safety, No injury. No road safety, Knows injury. BE CAREFUL GUYS! Always have a safe trip.


Thank you for the sponsors of the event: Shell, Jollibee and Pocari Sweat 
(Sorry I don't know the others) :)

Hello MONDAY

F for Style - My DIY Shirt

Fashion is just one step away.

Two months ago, I discovered how to cut and reinvent a t-shirt. It was Ann's idea. I watched her tutorial video and I remembered my old t-shirt. It was a Christmas' present to me last year by a friend and I didn't used it since then. So, I decided to make some experiments in the said t-shirt.

This is the real look of the t-shirt

First step is to cut them vertically

Then you twist it to connect them like knots. (Its kinda fail)

So what I do is to add more pieces of vertical lines and make it thinner.

It was my first try cutting t-shirts. Fun! :)

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.)

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

 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!

Sembreak

Waiting for my grades to be encode, enjoying the air at my room, resting and talking with the use of laptop. This is semester break, day 3. I don't have any commitments today in school or to my peers. I love days like this. Just having a very warmth vacation with no worries. Today I am going to enjoy the rest of the break that they have given me. 

Watching movies, recreation, get together with old friends. I am planning to go out with people but maybe next week or the other week. I consider this week as a FREE WEEK. Only me, myself, and I. I want to enjoy the rest of the day.

(Top) It's me at Morong, Bataan. (Bottom) Kimpoy Feliciano at New Zealand.

I posted my picture last time on Kimpoysterz's page in Facebook. I got suprised that days after, Paolo went to a beach and posted a picture. WHAT A COINCIDENCE? Hahahaha.

Later, I will be sharing some pictures from our tour in Bataan. Have a great vacation ahead to those who are having their sembreak's.
