Day 39 (March 18, 2014)

Our class, all dolled up in smart casual attires, went to PGAA for a firm visit. It was great 'cause we got to tour their office and see what working there was like. We also got a look at some of their projects. And let's not forget to mention that they fed us with Countryside donuts! Yum!

After the visit, while the other half of the class rode back to UP with our professor, some of us decided to go to Carlos' (the dude making a weird face in the picture) place. We watched Mulan and ordered some pizza.

Day 38 (March 17, 2014)

After the surprisingly-not-so-dreadful GE 11 exam, Sancho and I went to Peanut Butter Company to stuff our faces with delicious sandwiches and what's probably the best iced tea out there.

Day 37 (March 16, 2014)

I don't know about you, but what really made my day today was Punkgong retweeting this.

Day 36 (March 15, 2014)

First day of interviews! Although there was one app who disappointed everyone, the other two apps did really well. Also, everything went smoothly in terms of preparations for the interview and I'm just glad it all worked out. 

Also, this is a photo of Kit pimpin' it out at the "backstage" of the Formal Interviews room. Hahaha. So much UPCLAS love. :)

Day 35 (March 14, 2014)

Today was a very eventful day. Had so many errands to do for two different orgs today, not to mention having to do academic stuff as well. Fortunately, I survived. 

One really great thing about today was that UPCLAS won with our Nepentrash Entry at UP Green League's trash can making contest. We worked hard on production work, so I'm just really happy our efforts didn't go to waste. Also, we're all so proud of Balbi for his beautiful trash can design.

After the awarding ceremonies, we went back to Arki for the Arkaira Concert. There were some really great sets. I think my personal fave would have to be Fab and Gab's rendition of Let It Go. 

And then after the concert, I had dinner with some of the UPCLAS apps and mems. We shared ghost stories while waiting for a jeep to take and, well, the stories just kept coming. 

So, yeah... Today was exhausting. But I'm not complaining. 

'Cause I'm happy. :)

Day 34 (March 13, 2014)

So Jollibee decided to put KitKat in their ice cream. I guess it's time to pay them a visit then! For those of you who didn't already know, KitKat is my ultimate favorite chocolate. So you can only imagine how happy I am about this.

Day 33 (March 12, 2014)

This picture made me smile. I miss fangirling over these boys. It's nice to see them bump into each other!

Day 32 (March 11, 2014)

It's been so long since we've had an Executive Committee meeting! Too bad our Socials and Logistics Committee Head wasn't present. It would've been nice if we were complete. :( It was a fun and productive meeting nonetheless. Love these guys so much! They always know how to make my day.

Day 31 (March 10, 2014)

Nepentrash prod with UPCLAS. It's always a good time with UPCLAS, even when we're doing work. :) Really hoping all this hard work will pay off in the end!

Day 30 (March 9, 2014)

Yup, this I definitely missed. Finally got to see the first two episodes!

(I just got the picture off of the internet. Lol.)

Day 29 (March 8, 2014)

UPCLAS 2013B's Apps' Party! 

There are not enough words for me to express how much I love these kids. Sometimes, I get so caught up with the stress of working as UPCLAS' secretary and having to handle the apps as well... But all it takes to make me feel okay and get going again is to have one look at these kids.

I remember, at the beginning of their application process, some of the members were really iffy about having so many apps (there were 29 of them) because they were afraid that they might form cliques or just, in general, not really unite as a batch. Also, some were afraid that the other applicants seemed too shy and that it might cause them to not really participate in application activities. But, man, have these kids proved them wrong! Although some from the original batch have deferred, 22 of them remain. And as long as they do a good job with their interview, soon enough, they'll be really part of the family. I can't help but be excited for them!

Sometimes I like to think that they're a good batch of UPCLAS fledglings because I, along with the rest of the Internals Committee, was there to guide everybody each and every step of the way. But at the end of the day, I can't help but give the credit to them. They're a good batch because they consist of dedicated and passionate kids who really want to be a part of this org and who will stop at nothing to achieve that membership.

I'm so proud of these kids.  Okay... I love these kids. 

Oh, and as for the Apps' Party, it's really not something I can disclose to the public. But I think it's safe to say it was one insane night.
