A Decoration to Remember
       The month of December that seems so cold yet so exciting. Getting ready for gifts, foods, and decorations that complete the preparation of Christmas. My December was a blast, full of funny and stressful memories that challenged my spirit. As the year was ended, it extends me to remember some parts of it.

        It was indeed a month to remember with the one decoration to remember. Seeing the product of our handwork could really give me a relieving sigh, saying "hmmm.. nahuman rajud". Conceptualizing it was the hardest one, nevertheless God gave us the wisdom to create a decoration that we could be proud of.

        Having this decoration, gave us a lot of work and we really find effort to look for old newspapers to build the cone-shape tree. As I was making the cone-shape tree while my other group-mates rolled the newspapers, I was a bit nervous on how to finish that perfectly. As I was watching the YouTube video, it really looks easy but then when I was the one doing it several times it was very difficult. I pause for a moment and hoped for God to let His will be done. 

      Surprisingly, wow! we're stunned by the patterns that was formed, it looked like a stair from the bottom up to the top. I was thankful back then to my group mates and unto God. Honestly, we're just few in making the Parol but we let them be where they are back then. At least, we felt the genuine feeling of making that Parol in our own bear hands.

       On the other note, the true essence of Christmas is having Christ being with you and added decorations, acts of giving, sharing, and loving are just bonuses. In our Christmas Parol, we added some angels at the bottom to represent the birth of Jesus Christ our Lord. Though our Parol was not big enough like the others, for me it was big enough to see the awestruck meaning of it and it was really a Decoration to Remember.

That's Amore Ball: I wish it was him It's not about showing your dress, or looking fab with your make-up but it's all about SEIZING THE MOMENT. A moment where I thought, I wished, I hoped, IT WAS HIM.  Charrr!! mao najud bitaw ni.. My experience was okay, not that special but it was a great night. The day before the ball, I didn't really felt excited about it, instead I felt unease joining the event. It was my first time to join an event like that, since I was not able to attend junior's prom because of my athlete trainings. I enjoyed my night with my friends and classmates, the food that I ate, the pictures that we’ve shared, and the dances. Unexpectedly, there are men who offered their hands for a dance with me and I can’t deny feeling flattered and nervous at the same time. However, that flattery hides the wants of my heart to dance with the man that I love. Each dance I had was an imaginary scenario of me and him. I thought a dance that we ...

Pre-Immersion Orientation and Send Off Ceremony            Attitude is more important than the achievements we have. In the pre-immersion orientation, I learned a lot of things and it widens my perspective in the idea of immersing. There are three simple yet strong learnings that I learned. One of the things I learned is to be neat and presentable in front of everyone that you  will look professional in appearance. Secondly, we must be true in writing our own resumes and application letters that we may be able to express our objectives and good intentions. Lastly, the best thing I learned is that attitude is important beyond anything, for it is the best thing you could ever have upon being a kind individual.                    On the other note, the send off ceremony was a blast for me. It was a feeling of joy and sorrow. A feeling for joy that we may be able to be sent off in the new environm...

We have the right to fight for our stand and dignity.      This  video shows the predictability of human trafficking. Human trafficking is a serious crime and a grave violation of human rights. As I watched the video, it shows how vulnerable we are in knowing people that we intend to trust.       Nowadays, people suffer from money crisis and they strive to earn for their families. In addition, they thought they could possibly trust someone to help them but instead they will become a victim of what we called "Human Trafficking."      To eradicate this serious crime, I want to sign a petition for the rights of those victims by posting in a certain site which is "change.org" wherein I could raise my voice to encourage others. Moreover, I will help those victims and share my knowledge about su...
