I am still on cloud 9. It is my honor to be the coach of these bright youngsters of Tourism. We may have encountered problems along the way but we still surpass everything and you guys created history by qualifying to the grand finals. Its a first in LPU Manila to have all three delegates to qualify to the last round. It only means you really put your heart in this competition. I am so proud of you!

Life Lately: Road To SMX

Annyeonghasseyo, chingus! My fingers were feeling itchy to write the milestones that happened lately. Gosh were halfway this school year— #RoadToSMX is so real. Yep. I am still in “fingers crossed” about that cos last Monday on my way to school, I’m so close to bumping into a motorcycle like I was just 10 inches away from it and I’m in shocked for 5 seconds before I recovered myself. I now believe that graduating students are really prone to accidents. Pros: I can consider myself now as a “REAL” graduating student LELS! Cons: I’m getting paranoid whenever I hit the road like I kept on looking left and right not just twice but thrice just to check if there are vehicles before crossing. HUHUHU! Who else is like me?

I have a lot of stories to tell like how we accomplished our papers and defense with great remarks and how we handled stress and group misunderstandings and all. Gawhd that moment when I’m finally writing the last sentence, the last word and the last period of our “final revised paper”. It feels so surreal like did we just made it? So to make it more detailed, I listed the highlights of my life these past few weeks.

We danced for our Consumer Behavior class while wearing corporate attire. I hate that I enjoyed it.

Few days after my birthday comes a huge disturbance in my entire college life. In our E-commerce class, one of our requirements is to come up with a website of our Feasibility proposal. I am the one who made it cos hey I’m a frustrated blogger LELS. Nope honestly because in our group, I can say that I’m the one who has the glittery-sparkling eyes for design and I am very patient with it. So I volunteered. I made the website using Wix ADI where they gave me a lot of templates but I made my own one. I spent a whole day even night just to perfect it. I even slept between 2 - 3 am. After I satisfied myself, I asked my group mates to just delete the text (given by wix) and replace it with our business description. So I was so glad that finally after days of sleepless nights, I can finally be at ease. But on a Sunday, I received a notification from our professor on that particular subject, she said that it was copied. I’m like whaaaat? what portion? So I opened the site and saw that the description wasn't changed at all. My group mates didn’t do it despite giving them the whole account after I finishing the design. We got zero points in that project and I’m like a crying baby cos I’m/were graduating students and that happening is something that shouldn’t be happening. I’m not blaming my group mates cos as a student as well, I must be very careful in everything I do and finish it right away. I felt a little bit angry with our professor cos she did broadcast the issue to all her other students BEFORE confronting us like you are a professor. After all, you are the one who knows what to do and what not to do. But despite that, a lesson learned and that is more important.

Last September 16, my sister and I attended a book fair at SMX Convention Center. Before we get inside, we lined up for so long, it's like a 5 circling line from end to end of the convention + the scorching heat. But all of that was worth it cos when we entered, the smell of books was so satisfying. There are books everywhere and I found myself lost in them. My sister even literally lost her phone while browsing for books. What a sad reality, a phone in exchange for books. I can feel her bittersweetness while on our way home. 

We went to Paranaque to celebrate Tita Beth and Xian’s birthday at their crib. We ate a bunch of pizza and cakes and all we can consume. We served foods to a lot of kids from their neighborhood and it was just so satisfying seeing those kids with a smile on their face. 

 My sister taught me to ride a motorbike and hell yes, ‘twas scary at first but also easy to learn + the bonding moments. *wink*

Our very own baby, Lairiel, my niece, stayed with us for a week and she’s the reason why I want to go home early after school. Yay, cuteness! + she knows how to make tulug-tulogan.

My fave blogger couple, Kuya David Guison and Vina Guerrero are liking my photos in IG and replying to my comments like waaaaah! That’s every fan girl's dreams. I hope to meet them soon.

My Wednesday schedule was always a blockbuster one cos its a whole day. But on our last day in my Consumer Behavior class (my last subject during Wednesday) we played Pinoy games like Bahay, Baboy, Bagyo, and 7UP. And it was so fun, I had fun.  I felt the closeness in us despite some irregular students. This is something we have longed for after a stressful day. Truly one of a kind.

Last October 3, we had our Feasibility Showroom where we presented our Feasib proposal to NU’s stakeholders. We also got to see other section’s feasibility proposals and I was in awe. I didn’t expect that my batchmates do really have incredible minds. The other team in my section even won the first place in Service Category.

Last October 12 I had my internship interview with Summit Media. You guys I am an avid fan of this publishing company since I was 9. I remember my best friend way back in elementary influenced me with Total Girl magazine so we always see to it that we have a monthly copy. Not even minding if we still have money left. Ohhhh I also remember we buy magazine together and I’m feeling nostalgic. Miss you best friend! :( SO BAD! So going back... that is the reason why I immediately applied for an internship position but unluckily... HUHUHUHUHU they need full-time M - F / 8 - 5 PM and I’m from QC and Summit Media is in Ortigas and I still have an evening class and you know Manila traffic is so real. So it is really a big NO. Just imagine my life would be :( But on the other side, I’m just so happy to finally have a step at their office. Gosh, the smell of the office and the ambiance is really what I want like waaaaaah! I can live in their office. LELS!

We got an A in our E-Marketing Proposal. Remember that website copying issue? We bounced baaaaack! We were advised to change our business proposal on this subject and what... we did it. We nailed our presentation. I once said to myself and I even promised my professor this “BABAWI AKO!” Then our new proposal made it! Our panel didn’t even questioned us and just said that we have the best presentation like OMG!!!! That panel is truly one of the terror professors of NU-CBA.

Last October 23, we had our final final final defense for Feasibility and glad to know that everyone in my class passed it. It felt like just talking to our panels since we did a lot of defense prior to the final defense. So it's just a matter of being well-knowledgeable and being confident. After all, we are actually the one who made the proposal so we know it from its roots.

After the defense, we went to Ying Ying to celebrate and to have also our sem-ender. As usual, never a dull moment.

I got my official PLDT internship ID and I’m gonna spend my 2nd semester with them. I officially started last Nov. 08 and the employees were like really very accommodating + my supervisor is literally sooooo cool like everything is allowed but with being punctual and honest as the biggest rule to be followed. My co-interns were really fun to be with as well and I felt them the first time I ever spent time with them. What I also noticed is that people there are very religious, well in my department.

Binondo Hits! We went to Binondo for an interview which I turned down. Then we went to a church but I forgot the name of it. But it is my first time so gotta wish wish wish if you know what I mean hahaha.

My main squad goes to Le Village Foodpark located at E.Rodriguez cor. Cordillera St. which is actually few steps away from my home! Gotta have some bonding time yow. If you are looking for affordable yet IG feed goals food park, this is perfect for you. It's like a Japan-inspired because of the cherry blossom thingy + their CR is literally lit. LELS!

Dalawang Sem.

Sa ikalima at huling taon na aking nilalakbay sa College Of Engineering ng TUP Manila, Ibang klaseng pagod ang nararamdaman. Thesis, Tatlong design, Masteral ko sa Consys. May oras na mapipikon ka sa isang prof sa design. Pero kailangan tanggapin na ganon, kasi nga hawak ka pa niya sa leeg. hahaha! Pero kailangan pa ring pagdaanan ang lahat, kase walang learnings kung di mo dadalhin ang sarili sa limits. Di natin matutungo ang buhay na gusto natin sa madaling paraan. Kaya nga may ganito, tiis tiis hanggang makarating sa Marso. Ipasa lahat subjects muna at magiging proud ako mag hashtag ng #ROADTOSMX next sem. Konting konti nalang. halos pitong buwan nalang. kada araw na babangon ako, tumutunog sa isipan ko ang Martsang Pandangal. Kailangan bigyan ang sarili ng malakas na motivation ( yung nasa taas, Sa Pamilya, sa mga failures at kay crush *kung meron man.*) Konting takbo nalang, malapit na sa Finish line. 

[pautheawesomepanda]

Worth every sleepless night, every restructure/redesign of database, every re-CRUD of the system, & oh, the consecutive weeks of going North for this! 👊 To God be the glory! ☝️🙏 Kudos team, more mr.chips, KFC & spanish bread? 😅 1 more defense, 1 client presentation, 1 final exam, remaining documentation / term papers... By God's grace. #SOFTDEV #thesis Thesisit! #roadtosmx? 🙈 Thanks @acgsia for this shot!

A Letter to My 20 year old Self

Dear 20 year old me,

8 years ago, you were naive and you really don't have any idea of what path to take in the future.

7 years ago, when you woke up wanting to become an architect or an interior designer. Remember that time when you were young, you love sneaking to your father's floor plan and making him his coffee just to take a peek on what he is currently working on....

6 years ago, while filming your Noli Me Tangere school project, you realized that directing excites you a lot. Something to look forward everyday.

5 years ago, when you have to make the biggest decision in your life— what college program to choose? You felt that it makes you vulnerable whenever that thought pops up your head during those time.

4 years ago, when you decided to take up a program that is a contradictory to what you really love— films and designs.

3 years ago, you took Marketing Management as a major. It scares you a lot esp with terror professors you have and tons of papers to submit even if your were just in your first year. You even lost your scholarship but reap it again after a semester of sowing seeds.

2 years ago, you met a lot of random friends. You grew up. You learnt one of the biggest lesson in life— friends will come and go and that’s normal. You make an effort to make yourself happy and reward yourself every now and then.

Last year, you finally decided to free yourself from stress and all; you owe it to yourself. You regain your scholarship, met new friends, became dean’s lister, have the things you want and most esp you learnt to love yourself.

Just as how much you want to bring back your 18th birthday... you know you got this okay? don't ever settle for mediocrity for you... absolutely know that there is more than that strive for it, grab it, embrace it. don't you dare doubt yourself, just know that you can do it. and if you ever feel like giving up or when procrastination strikes upon you hey girl your getting your parent's butt sweating off, work harder, greatness is earned not by just luck. kneel down, look above and you know what to do. guard yourself but do not barricade it from the world.constantly remind yourself that you need people too. you have your mind set to be independent but just be honest to yourself that you need them more than them to you. always remember that all people are current assets but you're the only fixed one. be grateful always and enjoy the little things. as you grow never be ashamed that you still have to blow bubbles every now and then just to make you happy. lastly, ace you are not special and you are never the sun, the world doesn't revolve around you.

And for the status quo, wherever this path is taking you, you know the Lord has it planned already for you and just trust your life to Him. Hopefully, after 8 months, you'll be finishing what you started and will proudly be saying that even though you weren't able to pursue the choices you really want, you can still be someone you would have never thought you will become. *deep sighs* Fighting! *fingers crossed* #RoadToSMX

But hey, Happy Birthday self. dami mong sinabi just promise me you'll be better this time. Arasso?!!

Love, 20 year old me.

August 29, 2017— my birthYAY!

When I went to school, my classmates greeted me Happy Birthday and it's just so overwhelming that even unfamiliar and random people also greeted me like hey, I know you but I don't know you too. Get me? Lels. That night on the day of my birthday, me and my gals went out to Mcdo to have a little celebration. We talked random things as if we were the only people in the fast food and went home after. I kind of like feeling giddy cos Kuya Labs promised me to give me something that I will really love. Then minutes later, I got a message from him... its a video actually. Gawhd its a video greeting of my old crush way back in Highschool. Tbh that is the second vid he made for my birthday and I'm so shookt and kilig as well. Waaaaaaaah! He sang few lines and waaaah his voice... ok staaap.

“A true friend is the last person to stay by your side when a tornado suddenly hits you”. And I must say, these lovely people are those people. So blessed to have these guys by my side through ups and downs. Though inevitable misunderstanding may happen, we will always choose friendship more than anything. Love you guys... like... a... lot...

Life Lately + Blog Revamp

I don’t know how to start this one, why do I always suck at doing introductions? Tbh I was literally staring at my laptop for like 15 minutes now thinking of a good intro. But anyways… hello birth month. Time flies so fast. It feels like yesterdays just my vacation and now I have to review for my midterm exams. And thank you G, this is my second to the last semester. woo oooooh #RoadToSMX. *fingerscrossed*

Our class started last June 19 and since then it had been my worst nightmares. I only have six subjects but five of those are majors and the four subjects required papers to submit. I still can’t imagine that we weren’t able to present in one of my major subjects. Gawhd, I’ve been taking things for granted since the start of the semester and now I feel guilty about it. I want to graduate on time next year but procrastination is really testing me. Next week will be our midterm exams and this particular subject is something I badly need to focus on. But I promise that I’ll make it up to all my subjects. Fight all the distractions, group dramas and all for this is something very significant to me. And I guess I’m just too emotional for the past few days. :(

Last July 22, we celebrated Jayson Wee’s birthday. My first heavy drink but it was worth it cos I badly need to get out of my comfort zone. We stayed all night talking random things and I realized that drinking wasn’t really my thing.

Last last week, Tuesday, I was able to open up things to Rush related to my self-issues and some sort of things that keep on bugging me, we even slept very late or most likely we haven’t slept cos the pain really sucks. I have a 7 am class the following day and my eyes were like I came out of a wrestling cage. I can’t imagine that I was able to say all my family and personal issues with her cos I’m not really “makwento“ and all of that were very personal to me and I’m not really comfortable blabbering it to people. It is truly my weakness. But buuut, some of it has to end for I know I deserve to be happy too. Good thing Rush was my kind of listener. Kahit na sobra na yung kakulitan ko, she never gets tired of me. I remember taking her for granted cos I know she’ll always be there for me and gawhd thank you for staying, Rush. I know you now know the reason behind all.

University Week: July 31 - August 5, 2017

Last week, I hung out with my girl's cos classes were suspended. We roam around Espana to look for someplace to eat but we end up in McDo cos even at night, Manila’s weather never changes, still extremely hot.

The next day, lowkey we skipped class (but we didn’t really know that there will be classes cos its U-week fyi) we went to see Marvin cos it’s been a long time. He treated us at Pizza Hut and were all like bloating cos he actually ordered two 8-sliced pizza and individual spaghetti for us, omg. What a night!

And yes, I revamped my blog. Yey! I got my theme last Saturday and I just tweaked some parts of it until eventually satisfied myself. I would have never done this without the help of Ate Daphne. I am so grateful to you ate Daph for this superb theme. You will forever be in my history and in my heart huhuhu love you ate Daph sobra. She’s very genuine and talented, I swear. I remember telling her to add this, to remove this… and vice versa from the outcomes she “already” made but still manages to do all of it. Kudos to your patience and sorry huhuhu I am very OC talaga with almost everything especially if it is something special to me. I really cannot start this blog again without you ate Daph. Thank you so much!

So that is all, I guess? I promise to do better this time. :D
