LENI ROBREDO TALK IN AC

Just last Monday, April 24, 2017, we had a privilege to listen to a woman-to-look-up-to leader, Vice President Leni Robredo. It was an institutional event and all the students were required to attend the talk and the faculty and staffs were also invited. On her talk, she didn’t really focused much on being serious; she emphasized on women empowerment and encouraged everyone to support her project which is Angat Buhay Program. The program aims to eradicate poverty and uplift everyone to a better lifestyle. She gave very good and inspirational advices. She has inspired a lot of young people like me to work hard and aim high at the same time remember to look back because your past will always be your way to be better in the future. She has also taught us the value of perseverance and patience. It is never too late to do something for yourself. There is always a room for improvements. She was not the kind of “Ms. Perfect” but look at her now; being the person she never thought she could be: a very inspirational leader who continues to help and change a lot of lives.

Her Angat Buhay Program would surely benefit a lot more people in the future. Hopefully, people from all around the Philippines could contribute help and coordinate well to be able to achieve the goal of the program. Besides, it would benefit not only those who will be helped but also the entire country. Maybe now, because of some circumstances that prohibits me to do what I really want to do, I couldn’t do much help. But as I mold into what a true Assumptionist should be, a woman of faith and woman of action, one day, I’ll be able to really help them not just by giving part for their basic necessities.

The Leni Robredo talk was really worth attending to. If I were given another chance, I would listen to her again because she has given me insights that I could use on my everyday life not only as a student, but also as a daughter, a friend, and a future business woman in the corporate world. This kind of opportunity that Assumption College has given me is very overwhelming. In relation to our school mission, it is to excel thru woman empowerment with dignity and class but is humbly obedient to our Lord God. This is practically everything that I am and what I possessed. I submit myself and trust completely to the Lord. The character and honor of one true Assumptionista! #VPLeniRobredo #ALeaderWithAHeart #Inspirational

VELOCITY 2017

Third day of the business week and it’s the VELOCITY DAY. It’s the day we’ve all been waiting for: The day we’ve spent our sleepless night to; the day where we exerted a lot of efforts just to let the whole MSBMW department and the whole community of Assumption College happy. We’ve waited for this day to come because we want to capture the smiles and laughter of our fellow sisters and family in AC. Preparation for this day was surely tiring and stressful but in the end, it all paid off. As the overall committee head, I had to make sure that everything was set and as much as possible, avoid contingencies during the event.

I personally had fun and I was so happy that day. It was doubled as I watched everyone smile and laugh as they played the games and ate the food we prepared. I never expected such a successful event knowing that we didn’t have enough sponsors and we’re the only class who handled it. We are also very thankful to our professor, Mr. Roba, because if not for her, we wouldn’t be able to experience such a once in a lifetime challenge. The Business department also helped us in our expenses and we really appreciated that. The layout and design wouldn’t be perfect without their generous donation. If given the chance to organize it again, I’d love to. At least I now know how to handle contingencies properly and how to actually deal with them. I also learned that there’s a process for everything and that we should let arising issues/ difficulties break what’s supposed to be done. All in all, VELOCITY 2017 was a successful event handled by our block, 3MM&3C1.

“Friendship is a relationship of mutual affection between people. Friendship is a stronger form of interpersonal bond than an association.”

My college life wouldn’t be easy and fun without these people. We sometimes fight and have misunderstandings but I believe that it happens only to challenge the strength of our friendship.

With Mr. Francis Kong ❤️ I personally liked his talk. I enjoyed a lot. I learned a lot. At first, I thought it would just be like the common talks we had in school. I didn’t know who Francis Kong was and what he does. In short, I assumed it was going to be another boring talk. But I assumed wrong. It was the complete opposite of what I thought. He really tried to sustain the interest of the students while listening to him. What I remember most on his talk is the steps he gave to be successful. First is to engage in continuous learning. Second is to remember that attitude is more important than skills. Lastly, he taught us that we should be in control. By being in control means we have to learn to say “NO”; ask why people are doing such things to me; be cute and chill; ask again to myself whether I’m good enough and tell myself and those who wants to take over me that “I AM WORTH WAITING FOR!” He taught us to appreciate ourselves and told us that happiness shouldn’t come from boys who take us for granted. Instead, he gave us this quote: “Love is giving the best, offering the best, serving the best, sacrificing the best for the recipient of your love.” Deep words that cut thru our hearts and mind.

Feelings in words

Assumptionist! 💙 Taught to become women of faith and women of action. #FutureWomenLeaders P.S. we were actually tasked to have a picture with our favorite advertisement... the mall just opened at that time so I took advantage of not having a lot of people around 😅

D-E-C-E-M-B-E-R - For some people, this is the month of celebration for Jesus' birthday... for some, it's the celebration of their birthdays... for some, it's the month for the weddings. December is considered to be a happy month. So many good memories from December... Bad or good, it's still one of the most memorable months from last year. Sometimes I wish I could go back, sometimes I don't.... Am I only wanting to go back because I want to recover something that is not with me now? I guess... Maybe...

L.D.F.- Long Distance Friendship

This is actually my first time blogging. I really don’t know what’s this for, but I just wanted to try because I’ve been hearing about this from my friends. I decided to write one today… It’s about what I’m actually experiencing right now.

If you’re reading this, you might be thinking that i’ll be talking about a friend who’s at a different country. Well, technically, YES. But, it’s quite different.

I met this guy last month, end days of December. He was the first cousin of my first cousin. I know you’re going to think that we’re incest but we’re not. We are not related at all. Things started of as usual… Simple “Hi” and “Hello”… Exchange of gaze and smiles. It was awkward at first but we wouldn’t be able to move on if we wouldn’t break the ice right? Two days passed by and we became closer, thanks to the game we played- SPYFALL. We were also rehearsing for a dance presentation for my cousin’s debut and I was the one teaching the choreography so I had to communicate with him a lot. P.S : he’s a funny but cute dancer. He never failed to catch my attention because aside from the way he danced, he was also very tall, standing 6′1″. (I’m only 5′2″ by the way LOL) Rehearsal days flew by and as young people, we never forgot to have fun. We went to the malls and played arcade games and went shopping. (We went out together with our cousins)

The thing I can remember most on our “going out” moments is when we sang together at the stage. It was at a karaoke but it was very open to the public. Anyone could sing: on stage or while sitting down. Anyways, him and I sang two songs: “She will be loved” by Maroon 5 and “Breaking free” by Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens from the High School Musical OST. We sang ‘she will be loved’ while sitting down because I was very shy at that time, knowing that people would stare at you when you’re on stage. When our first song ended, I said that I wanted to sing more. Then he said that if I want to sing more, we’ll have to sing it on stage. I contemplated a bit but I decided to give it a go. #YOLO Our ‘breaking free’ stage felt like the high school musical one’s. We stole gazes from each other; smiling and laughing out of embarrassment. It was indeed a very memorable experience for me.

Fast forward to New Year’s Eve. I actually just added him on Facebook and Snapchat that day. Funny right? LOL Anyways, we talked for like the whole day but it was cut off because we had to go to their house. We had different topics on messenger and on snapchat which I found very funny and amusing because how in the world do we have so much to talk to about. LOL

12:16 AM, January 1, 2017, he called me. He was from the states so I never thought he would have a local number. He told me he asked one of his cousin’s phone to call me. During the call, he admitted his feelings for me. He said that he liked me. I didn’t believe him at first and I thought of it as a prank. But as he explained, I was able to understand that he was really telling the truth. I was speechless because I never expected something like that. To me, he was just a cousin even though we’re not really related at all. And I told him that. In short, I turned him down. I had so many things going thru my mind.. So many factors I had to consider. So yes, I told him I only liked him as a cousin. #cousin-zoned

Days flew by and we were still talking to each other- more of like getting to know each other MORE. I was actually confused with my own feelings because I only felt that I have feelings for him the day after he told me he liked me. #WTF #Confused And so, we continued to be “friends” and we always talked on messenger and snapchat THE WHOLE DAY. When he went back to the states, his hometown, he wasn’t able to adjust to the time that fast so we were still talking even though it’s dawn/morning there. By the way, we had a 16 hrs. difference of time. When it’s morning here, it’s the afternoon there. When it’s the evening here, it’s dawn there. When it’s the afternoon here, it’s the evening there. Everything was okay until he had an accident. We didn’t have any communication for days. I was so worried and I even wished I could be there. I wanted to see him so bad but I can’t.

January 19, 2017 (PH)- January 18,2017 (Van. Wash.) = THE DAY I ADMITTED MY FEELINGS TO HIM. I was so scared and shy but I gathered my courage to say it because I couldn’t hold it in anymore. And so, the feelings were mutual. We didn’t know what to do after that. We’re just two people who like each other. I couldn’t even call it as “LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP” because we are not in a relationship. That’s why I called it “LONG DISTANCE FRIENDSHIP”- friends with feelings for each other.

February 7, 2017- IT ENDED. He had his reasons. He wasn’t able to talk to me for days. He wanted space from people and that includes me. Our story might confuse you, but I can’t really just tell everything. All I can say is that, I still like him but I gotta do what I have to do. I don’t deserve to be treated like some toy whom you’ll just play with when you want to. It’s actually hard to move on when you know you don’t really have something to move on about. To him, I guess it’s just a “fling” or a “thing”. For me, I don’t know. I take everything seriously and that’s my weakness. I get attached a lot so fast so I really hate SEPANX.

If you’re reading this part, that means you’re able to finish reading my long story. Thank you and I appreciate it a lot! Leave a comment or opinion or suggestion or advice that you want to give. I’ll be posting more soon so please wait! XOXO
