It’s been more than a month since my summer vacation started, and I have to say that it started off quite productive, at least. I haven’t gotten any getaway or some escapade yet, but I’d like to believe that it’ll come pretty much soon enough. So while we’re at it, here are some highlights of my life lately!
It’s a five-day long summer youth camp which was held in our school, and its main aim was to hone our skills and further broaden our knowledge on the aspects of Math, Science and Journalism. It was my second time to join this event; although I felt hesitant to join at first, I enjoyed the camp so in the end, I had no regrets.
We, campers, were grouped into eight sub-camps: Archimedes, Galileo, Rutherford, Newton, Dalton, Lavoisier, Einstein and Mendel. We had several experimental activities, investigations, sessions and lectures, and also debates headed by our teachers and some guest speakers. Fortunately, my camp, Rutherford, went home as the over-all champion for the summer youth camp. Other than the awards, it was the bond established that made all the sessions worthwhile; and the learning that made the event a memorable experience.

2. Blogging on WordPress
Well, it’s been more than a week since I established my personal blog on WordPress - krcscribbles. I really had a fun time going on over its functionality, and I must say that I sort of developed a deeper appreciation for blogging because of it. It contains my opinions regarding societal issues and also reflections on certain experiences. You can say that it’s a more “formal” blog because of the posts, and it’s where I’ll share most of my writings. However, I’ll still be active here. Just extending my social circle, that’s all! :)
3. YouTube madness
I love watching videos on YouTube, like seriously random ones. But specifically, I’ve been a tambay on Kristel Fulgar’s and Janina Vela’s channels! Both are really my stress-reliever.
On Kristel: I love how she covers a song and delivers it with such uniqueness. I’ve been LSS-ed by her version of Secret Love Song with CJ Navato. The girl really has a potential, and I’m hoping that she continues to practice for her to improve.
On Janina: She’s really something else! I really appreciate how she films her vlogs - from the lighting, workplace, sequences and way of talking. She seems very organized as a person (well, close to choleric, maybe). Also, she does not fail to entertain me whenever I’m bored. I just go to her channel and boom, marathon! You guys should definitely check out her channel because she deserves all the love, tbh.
4. Halalan 2016 preparations (campaigns and all)
Only a few days left until the national elections, and still, there are so many issues circling around the country. I couldn’t quite comprehend why there is such hypocrisy from these problems rising, but then again I just hope people would be smart enough to know what to do. On another note, I am thankful for this time in the lives of Filipinos for it is very informative, and well, interesting. My only prayer now is for this country to have honest and true leaders.

5. Footprints
This one’s a book, specifically a collection of real-life stories with biblical verses to serve as explanations. I love how its content strengthened my beliefs in God and life, especially my inspiration tank. Whenever I feel down and lost, I seek for comfort from this book. It’s a reminder that every struggle in life should be equivalent to a stronger version of one’s self.
Here’s a preview of its cover! And oh, the book’s pages are really of good quality - glossy and smooth. Perfect for a reading buddy!
6. Binge-watching Descendants of the Sun (DOTS)
Simply, it’s just the bomb with all the FEELS! I got hooked with this Korean Drama series because other than Dr. Kang and Captain’s undeniable and palpable chemistry, I cannot deny that its story has the depth everyone would surely love as much as I did. More than just the daily imaginations about them and me-not-getting-over-their-tandem, I love how it showcased the sides of people and their professions. Honestly, I don’t think I can still last a day without thinking of them. I even like chinitos now, oh my!
Bonus fact: I’ve gotten less than 8 hours of sleep in two consecutive days just to finish it. No regrets, though!
Nothing extravagant happened for the past few weeks of my life, but though it’s somehow monotonous - like wake up and surf the net - I have to say that it’s still satisfying. I’m that girl, after all.
1st: I always look out for things in order to be sure and certain, 💯%.
2nd: I am a goofy kid who likes to display playfulness in photographs. 😉
3rd: I smile and pose for the camera when I feel like my outfit or hairstyle is pretty. 📷
4th: I always laugh a lot before getting into some serious action which takes up 95% of the scene most of the time. 😆
5th: I walk away when I can see that it’s going nowhere. (Lol)
Well, from those 5 things I listed above, you probably know me better now. :) Stay tuned for my upcoming posts, lovelies. I’m currently working on my theme. Anyways, take care! Sending you all my love & prayers 💋 Ciao!
