MAROONS 5

IT'S THE TIME YOU SPENT WITH YOUR FLOWERS THAT MAKES THEM MATTER

MAROONS 5 : M-5 BLOCK

I never thought at first that I would become close to these people but I did and it sure was worth all the effort. Being in a new environment you hold on to the thought that everybody is open to new friendships and it was what gave me the motivation to go to class on the first day of college. New faces with different kinds of life stories and I am happy to say that in some ways I got to see the real persons behind those faces. People who have also had their share of ups and downs, people who had best friends, people who had talents, people who sooner-rather than later-mattered to me very much. 



FIRST DAY
 New relationships were built, these people who were strangers to me on the first day became someone in my life after just a few days of being together. In our first few days in class we've already been late for a class, sing in front of the class, eat lunch together and many more fun and unforgettable moments. Together we crammed for assignments, studied for tests and became the buddies for our everyday activities. Living and Learning with them made me realize that education is not our preparation for life, most of the time it is life itself. College is a new journey in our life that makes us  optimistic realists in dealing with our responsibilities and priorities. Who said there ain't fun in living? Studying? sure, we go to the library and make a rap song of terms to remember; need to memorize an order of events? well we have our own dance routines for that too; bring material for experiments? no need, we have volunteers in the block to buy us stuff in SC hahaha. In our block, it totally is WALANG IWANAN - pagnag-cut hindi ka nag-iisa kasi dadamayan ka ng iba hahaha. 

Squatter ba kamo? Siyempre Hindi... yung block na ito ay may mga tao na iba't iba ang personalidad pero sa kalagitnaan ng lahat nakakahanap kami ng bagay na kami ay mapagsama-sama. The differences in people matter because that's what makes each person interesting - that's how we are in the block. 
FIRST CHEM L.E. FACES
Weird man minsan ang mga tao pero sabay sabay naman hahaha. The fun in it is that everyday we get to exercise our heart by laughing our guts out and being like a lifelong barkada. The block just has a way in making a laugh out of everything and smiling every time, even when there's actually nothing to smile about. STRESS = SMILE

MATH TIME = TULOG + REST + LAX TIME
Oh well, I can only count in my hand the number of times we sat upfront in our big math class. Our sitting places were always at the very back where most of the time we pretend to listen and every once in a while nod in the direction of the Prof hahaha. The most funny times would be when the prof goes around to check if we are answering the exercises and people start to panic asking for yellow paper hahaha. This class can also be awarded - "THE MOST CUT CLASS" or the "TIME-TO-CALL-JOBI-FOR-LUNCH-DELI" hahaha. In discretion with our actions, we only cut because we only understand the lessons in the small class. But you see, we have most of our block adventures during this period of the day and I guess making memories that matter is what really counts in life. So... don't judge hehehehe. 

Every limitation is a challenge to go for something greater, so go beyond boundaries and open yourself to an adventure. Everything important is not taught inside the classroom, sometimes you have to find your way out and make that limit your opportunity to experience more. (This is me reasoning with myself hahaha)

CHOCOLATE KISS
Food Trippin' with the girls, always fun and always worth it because of full bellies. From Devil's cake to the all famous Choco Lava or what I call Burning Volcano hahaha. Our way of saying " We had a long day, now we need sweets to relieve ourselves from the stress of college tests..." FOOD IS OUR PAL. I mean we had special moments even in fastfoods? Jolibee eksenas were awesome.Who would have thought that a single phrase:
IT'S IN OPENING UP THAT WE GET TO HEAL
All of us would be in a puddle of tears after a few minutes. The laughter and even the tears we shared all added up to the friendship that we have now. Now I get to wake up everyday knowing that I have more stories to tell and realize that as more people come into my life, the things that came along the way unexpectedly all made sense in the end because of them. 


GEOLOGY MUSEUM
The only class that we had a Christmas Party was Maam Has' Class which by the way was as challenging as ever. This was the epic class where we were late on the very first day, why??? certainly it's because of food hahaha. It turned out to be quite a ride and an experience to be in her class. 

MORE MOMENTS TO REMEMBER AND PICTURES TO THROWBACK TO IN OUR FRESHIE BLOCK MEMORY LANE...

A NEW CANVASS: You're Only A Freshie Once

UP DILIMAN GREW ON ME

It's been so long since I wrote my last blog, I usually have the time to update this but recently things just got so busy and hectic. Well, here I am trying to make up for lost time.

I'm in college now and things are no different than high school at first glance but actually they are. More freedom, more fun and more serious. I get the feeling that this will yet again be the start of a new journey meaningful. 

First week was definitely a relief. Cheers to my professors. I recall that those first few days in college were the adjustment periods of everybody and most importantly it was a blank slate for everyone. This white wall is my symbol of moving forward, meeting new people, building new relationships and creating new expectations. We all go by the belief that the world is continually changing and so do we, and we change with it most of the time we change for it. 

College So, what can I say that makes this write up different from the rest. Let's start with the thought - Small differences matter in the bigger scope of things. 

The Carousel Never Stops. I look at myself right now and see a reflection of my experiences- both the good ones and the bad. I see a girl who was motivated to do everything as best as she could, a girl striving to be better and greater all the time, a girl who has set no limits for herself ... but also I see a girl whose trying not to be broken by expectations, expectations form others and most especially from herself, a girl who took the risky chance of running away from the familiar eyes, a girl who does not want to be judged by the new things she wants to experience. So I am here writing and letting it all out because as much as there are things that I should not be and should not feel .... THIS IS THE TRUTH. I do not want to shy away from this because this is me, and this is the personality that I show to others. This is my key to building new relationships - the truth. 

Pull it together. Make ends meet. Do not ever stop.

Moving forward in life is a big step. It's never been about forgetting the past, it's about learning from the past and improving yourself in the future. It's not about letting go, it's about holding on to those lessons and making those mistakes count by changing those wrong decisions. It's not about chaining people who've hurt you, it's about freeing them from the burden of the pain. Picture yourself at dawn holding a butterfly in your hand and at the first strike of light, that butterfly flies away, turning back I thought that butterfly was gone, but it did not ... it came back and scooted in between your nose, you do not want to smack it, you only try to shake it off but it would not budge. That's the thing about the important people in your past, you try to shake'em off but they would not budge, they will come for you in times that you do not expect them the same way that they will leave you when something more beautiful comes their way . It's not the kind of painful leaving, it's the happy kind, because somewhere along the way you know that they have to grow too. 

Nobody is really left behind when other people leave, it's just a sign that you have to leave right for you to live. It's a chance to grow more and everybody should take it. I did. 


UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS TO TREASURE ....

I never really thought that I'd be really close to them but hey sure did grow on me. M-5 Block is truly the best and I'm thankful that I got the chance to spend my first five months in making up wonderful memories with them. New Friendships were build and I do hope this bond will last forever. I can never can tell the future and what will remain of our friendship in the years to come but one thing I'm certain is that they are you'll always hold a special place in my heart for being the first people who saw through me . For being the people who I could laugh out loud with and cry my heart out too. 

The choice to join the council was never really about being afraid to lead or not having the time to dedicate or commit because it really was more on accepting that I can not escape that feeling in me that thriving leading is really what I want to do with all my heart. I want to do something that can actually impact other people's lives. Plain and Simple is I do not function well without extracurricular endeavors. I know that it may seem as a very tiring job, well it is, but it's worth it. It became important to me in a way that I can not imagine myself living in Kalayaan Residence Hall and council them not being with people. 

One of the most important things to have in college is having 'your people'. Someone who can bother you all the time, someone who you go to for comfort, someone who will talk to you for hours and listen to you all the time when you did, someone who'll spend time with you and not notice the time and all

Things in life go very fast and we should learn to stop for a moment and appreciate the things that we do have. 
We can indeed learn a lot by removing ourselves from the chronological march of time, and see ourselves as an infinite but evolving whole (Cerundulo, Janine)

"WALANG IWANAN" - NO ONE GETS LEFT BEHIND


BATCH 6 !

As a young individual it can be understood that I can do no more than a small impact to the society, looking at it in one perspective. However, it does not follow that thou I am young I cannot build up the impact that I will have in the future. One of my colleague in GK Youth said that as much as we want to inflict a big change in this world and even just in our own country, we know that it is impossible to do so easily and directly; but the thing we can offer in building up the impact we want to make is our education. "Yung edukasyon natin ay importante, dahil para sa akin iyan lang din pa ang kaya kong ibigay". Education really is a vital part if you want to make an impact in society, who would regard you if you don't have a degree? who would listen to you if you are unable to relay your unspoken thoughts? and who would dare follow your path if you don't have the means to pursue it?
"Hindi namin sinabi na pag nag-volunteer kayo kailangan niyo ng kalimutan ang mga gusto niyo. Ang pagsali sa GK Youth hindi ibig sabihin na kailangan mong bitawan ang mga pangarap mo"
 "Pero dapat pag sumali ka sa Gawad Kalinga siguraduhin mo na kapag nangarap ka para sa sarili mo kasama ang lahat na mahirap, hindi lang ang pamilya mo"
(D. Unsad, 2014)

Siguraduhin mo na kapag ikaw yung pinaka magaling na guro, naturuan mo ang napaka nangangailangan  na estudyante... kung ikaw ay napakagaling na doktor, nagamot mo ang pinaka malalang sakit sa mundo...kung ikaw ay napakamahusay na enhinyero ikaw ang nakapagpatayo sa napakamabisig na bahay.

Kung Edukasyon lang naman ang ating maibibigay natin sa pangkasalukuyang sitwasyon ngayon, dapat nating paghusayan. If Education is the only real thing that we can give in our current situation, we need to excel in it and give it our greatest.

GAWAD KALINGA - "Gawad" meaning "To Give" and "Kalinga" meaning "To Love"
On top of everything is "Love" because how can you expect someone to give and share their Life's work if they don't love the people who benefit from their generosity. That is the bottomline, share the overflowing love that you have to others who need it, and there are many who need it. Everybody has to know that they can make people feel loved if they are generous enough to show it. We are not only talking about money but the spirit of volunteerism, the effort that you give and the time that you invest. TIME is life's most precious commodity and if you are willing to give your time in volunteering, you are sharing the most precious thing in living - TIME.

One of the most important realization I also had was that in any group that tries to give to others or fight for an advocacy, as you volunteer you are making a connection between you and the other volunteers in the community and those whom you help.
"In Gawad Kalinga, we are not only building communities but we are building relationships."
LAKAS NG PAGBABAGO!

The Magic In Time

"Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment"

I'm glad to have this summer
I've come to love it so
I can't believe the end is here
I hate to let it go

I've watched the days go on and on
Did everything I could 
Made artworks and some drawings
I'm great at being good

I've been through lot's of experience

Laughter with family and singing all day long
But now it's time to put some distance
and to test the love so strong

And it's with Happy Memories that I go out of the door
With Hopes and Dreams for what tomorrow holds in store

I'd remember the smiles I had
and  all the things I did
and certainly I'd never forget
how life was then, when I was still a kid



APRIL Part 1: 
Tugaya Outdoor Experience.  Davao Trip of Fun. 
My High School Diary.  The Pixie Hair Dare.

APRIL Part 2: 
Island Get away. LCLC Leadership Summer Camp.
ISLANDERS on High.



It all begins with the will to be happy. Happiness is not a destination it is a condition. An everyday choice I have to make. It may have to be worked on or planned but nevertheless it ends with a smile. April was the month that started with work but ended with my heart fulfilled and happy. Still Looking forward for my long Vacation !
Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain...To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it. - Kevyn Aucoin
MAY Part 1: 
The END of My High School scrapbook. The Revenge Series Addiction. The Watercolor Painting Abstract Turned. 
Ice Cream Madness #Bubblegum


MAY Part 2: 
Akeelah Batch Reunion.  @ Camille's Abode Sleepover. HBD to Brother Vander - Water Fun. HBD Ate Sai - Surprise Blowout. KitaKits with Gurangs. Catching Up with Calungsods.

MAY Part 3: 
UP Pep Squad. UP Tour. Finally Enrolled!. Mom's Day Special. Tennis for the Boys.


Started getting busy 'round here. The college vibes which was too early to have since I still have 2 months of summer. The struggle of having two worlds. CDO based and Valencia Based! I managed it thou, gracefully... Be happy, for life not to fall in pieces but to fall in place.
Life goes by really fast, and it seems that there are times when you're burying a lot of friends and family. And then there are times that feel really precious and everybody is doing okay. This is one of those times. - Amy Grant

JUNE Part 1: 
Dad's Day Awards. Visiting XUHS Campus 2.0. Valencia Suites Opening.Little Prince Party. The Emblem of Honor.



JUNE Part 2: 
Learning to Play the Instrument that makes my Heart flutter. Smores for to Night. Red Velvet Cupcakes for the First Time. Katy Perry Stories Behind the Music. 
A Drive in the Neighborhood. A Painting to Share.


The month that I can never get hold of not doing anything for the day. I'd make it a goal to make each day productive, with an outcome that I can see or appreciate. It was an experience worth treasuring and seizing. My summer has never been this fruitful and I've overcame it! So I've lived it great! 

"Don't tell me the sky is the limit because there have been foot prints in the moon"



JULY Part 1: 
The Davao Roadtrip. Seagull Stop Over.

JULY Part 3: 
PINTEREST COLLAGE. This Application is making me Nuts.

That feeling that you know everything seems to go crashing down and you just have to protect yourself from that inevitable end, so you cover it all up with colors and distractions... these are my moments. College is just right around the corner so I'm buying as much time as I can. Anyways It seemed to be productive, look at what I've done so far.
I'm not leaving anyone behind, I'm just putting some distance and testing the love       - Keziah Agripo
The Magic In Time? It's on you. Time eventually runs out but you can do great things before it does.

The Inevitable Agony in Waiting


LIFE'S MOST PRECIOUS COMMODITY - TIME
A lot of students rejoice when they have long weekends, Semestral breaks, Christmas breaks, and Summer vacation. I, myself, am a firm believer that not everything is as good as they are deemed to be. When it becomes known that after a stressful school year there will be a time for a considerably long duration of a rest, it just feels like "heaven". In that scenario no one would reject the idea because everyone is looking forward to it.

I look back at how I planned my whole summer break and I can't quite grasp how it made all sense to me before, how it made me smile just waiting for it and how it made me smirk when I brag about it with other students. A lot of students just like me would love to sugar coat everything, that it was all fun and restful. How a long sleep is very much worth it , how staying up all night just gives you the energy to have fun, and how a day at home(or at you room) is something to savour... as much as I'd pretty much want to feel that way always...IT'S JUST NOT THE TRUTH.

Here's what really happens. I sleep late and I end up being the only one awake by 12:00 M.N.; I wake up late then I eat breakfast alone and sometimes have a minor head ache; I stay home for the day and things get really boring because my parents are at work and my brothers have school. 

Waiting for something that hasn't happened is very thrilling, but Waiting for something to end is very boring. As much as I try to avoid the issue but there's just an Inevitable Agony in Waiting.

But don't ever blame yourself for what's happening because I didn't. Summer started full of very hectic activities but also full of crazy experiences for me. It first started with the annual Light Cavalry Leadership Camp which in truth was very fun, thrilling and challenging all at the same time.
THIS IS AN ISLAND

After that last Ateneo Adventure, I kinda wanted to conclude my deep thoughts in High School. So I made this 4-year-long-diary of a sort. This showed all my emotions and "overthinker" feelings back in H.S. It's not much but when I read it all over again it brings back all the memories in great detail.
EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON

Then followed my agitation to be enrolled in the University of the Philippines. It was very new to me and I was just dreading for all the requirements to be passed so that I could get it over with and proceed to my other plans for summer. Then again because of that trip I was able to envision my future college life here. Plus I had this crazy dream to be part of the UP Pep Squad( I wish....) U-NI-BER-SI-DAD ng Pilipinas! UP FIGHT!
B.S. BIOLOGY STUDENT 

What followed next was a stressful yet very fulfilling creative art work, which you would certainly know about if you read my previous post. "THE END OF HIGH SCHOOL" Scrapbook which was also a
 4-summer break-long project. GAME OVER
YOU KNOW ME WHEN YOU'VE SEEN THIS

What I did next was really a plan that was very doubtful of happening but it did happen anyway because the AKEELAH Batch are awesome people. We make the Impossible things Possible! That makes me so proud to be a part of this grade school family which became a very vital stepping stone to how I am as a friend to others. The big event was the AKEELAH Batch 2010 Second Reunion.
RR - SMS CAMPUS - HOUSE
The big projects were done and I still got myself two more months of summer. So what to do? I did a lot of reading and rereading from old books to newly bought ones. It kept me busy enough and fulfilled enough to not say that I had a dull day. I did really enjoy it thou because I was able to appreciate other books that I read to fastly before and I was able to read the books that I rarely read now. BOOK Reading Fest (Boring but better than doing Nothing) + Some movies that really have me laying down all day.
SOME OF MY BOOK COLLECTION
Well as a daughter I also had duties to fulfill, one of which was to help out on the family businesses because I was old enough as they say. A Summer Job as I recall how I called it but didn't turn out like that actually because it was more of a Volunteer Work which was emphasized because I'd wear my old LC Shirts to work hahaha. My parents were really busy so it was nice to carry some of the burden of the work. As a child, helping out is a natural way in life, in my case.
HOTEL - Pepito St. Valencia City - Contact me for Reservations
Plus I had a lot of time to spare to keep my parents motivated. Make them happy(even if they keep on focusing on the negativities, I make it as my task to look for the silver lining for them). Do what they ask you to(even make a genral notes for a mechanical plan that made me an amateur for the work I was frustrated to do because I didn't know what the hell I was making). Be an instrument of God to them.


And as I am writing this I am facing the challenge of waiting for something that I am really worried about... COLLEGE. I have to take note of the changes for me to really indulge everything but I learn to manage...so Good luck to me! and God bless to me and all the other freshmen college students out there! It's gonna be different but after an agony of waiting will be a realization of the worth of that waiting. I just have to Live in the Here and Now cuz that's what matters....I'm gonna be missing home...high school...friends...family
 But then again I still have a month to do what I want! Moe power to my motivation to make all of my plans into reality ...

A REMINDER OF THE END OF HIGHSCHOOL

4 YEARS OF SCRAPBOOKING

This Art Work holds a big part of me. It ŢĖŁŀŞ the story of the big leap I made ​​in the last four years of my life. It shows the people that I have made ​​with my story. It is a proof of the fruitful and productive works of my life. This is ME.

Fair Warning: This Post is full of Pictures! Thou not all the pages of my scrapbook but enough to entertain.  You Might be overwhelmed by it all but please do enjoy.



My Freshman Year. Everything was so new and I just had to go where the wind was taking me. It was a hard year, full of adjustments and changes. But I Learned to Manage and there was goodness in the people that helped me rise back again.



FRESHMAN COVER PAGE

THE FEW MOMENTS IN MY FIRST YEAR THAT I REALLY HAD FUN!

This is in my classmate's house. We ate a lot of ice creams and things started to go out of hand, in a good way. T'was not a boring practice at all. We even had time to roller blades and do a lot of photo shoot. 



SELFIE QUEEN - FRESHIE STYLE

Back then I was not that fond of taking "selfies" but I wanted to have keepsakes. Looking back at it now it was worth the try! I mean look THEIR our faces! Baby like and so plain!
JRACK - FIRST CLOSE FRIENDS

First year was adjustment. These people helped me a lot! showed me the basics of fun in high school. They showed me a Glimpse of friendship in a higher level. THEIR thou not my circle of friends now but I continue to remain grateful to these people. I still am close with them, in a different way, but somewhere deeper in our hearts is the understanding of the friendship that we shared. 



 Chums - I'M STILL FRIENDS KNOWING ...

The taken During our 5 day long Intramurals. Quite unusual but very awaited Because all I had in mind was to rest. These friends have grown to Become very special to me in the long run of High School. It was nice to see that even in first year there were already good moments that were shared.






THE DAYS OF THE FUTURE PAST

This was an empty space before but then I had the idea to write my past self a letter of the present me. It's actually quite fascinating to think that every doubt I had was Erased by the things that happened in the future. This also contains a few messages from my I-Briant Class.


THE QUOTE FOR MY FRESHMAN YEAR

"I'll work hard and be the person that I've always wished I could be"









Sophomore Year was the time that things started to change. I've stepped up from Becoming too shy to actually doing something with the confidence I had in me. I also engaged in some leadership opportunities. But no doubt, I knew that there was still a lot in me that I have to show, share and develop.


SOAR-FOR-MORE (Sophomore) COVER PAGE

 GIVE AND Receive - MESSAGES

This is really a very nice page because I was so happy about the glitz of my letterings, this was a whole new side to my creativity. I wrote here about how it really felt knowing how to have a family in the class. 
 LETTERS - CARLY AND MARIAN

Such wonderful messages that I often like to read and reread, times when I would like to remind myself of the good friends I have. These girls were very close to me in my Sophie year and up to now They still remain as one of my greatest friends that I can go to for anything. 
TITLES AND AWARDS

My award was "The Inosenteng Kikay of  Claver". I was always known to be this goody-too-shoes girl. But I guess some parts of who I was before has changed...for the best. Right now I've become more adventurous and at the verge of exploring those parts of myself that I have yet to improve or even still discover.

YEAR LEVEL BONDING

This was the First and Last of it. Thou I'm very happy that once in a while I get to bond with my batchmates .. we have 4 years to know each and everyone, so I guess I'll take every opportunity to do as much as I can.
 FUN FRIDAYS

Second year was the time when we had our Fun and Wonderful Fridays. Someone would bring a camera and take a lot of pictures full of smiles and full of laughter. T'was very fun and very memorable.
 WHEN VANITY strikes

Movie posters? Well it's not but rather simply an attempt to make use of the random moments During lunch we have time and period breaks. I really did not know how to make funny and weird faces but at least I madean effort to try! hahahaha
THE BIG LEAP 

It took all the confidence in me to really show my dance skills. Quite shy and unsure but I made it through. These were the very first times when I really had to go home very late at night. Well I guess it was worth the effort and the practices!
# BABYFREEZE
 FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER

It was really very overwhelming to be awarded a Magis Award in LCLC. I really did my best to be a great facilitator but I have to admit that I kinda need more enthusiasm in me, but I know it will come in time and in experience! Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for the support.
