No TGIF for Me...

As much as I'd like to scream "THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!" at the top of my lungs right now, I couldn't as we'll be having make-up classes tomorrow. Talk about bummer! But, I don't mind much really, as I earned good grades in the subjects I'll be having tomorrow - an 87 in JRN (finally, a 2!) and a 95 (1.25) in Psychology! 

Both marks were totally unexpected, for I've always been on the verge of failing my major (I've never known why), and it's really curious how a lunatic like me could get a 95 in Psychology. Oh well, c'est la vie! 

I got good marks in other subjects as well - a 1.5 in Asian History, another 2 in Statistics (which is another curious case as I've never been good in Maths), and a 2.5 and a 2.75 in Ethics and Science respectively (even though I thought I already failed both courses).

With what I've just said, you can freely conclude that I'm having an academic bliss right now.

New Logo

I've been thinking about it for quite some time now - if I'll change the logo and background of this blog - and I decided not to. Perhaps, not yet. Although, I changed our Facebook Page's profile photo and cover. How do you find them?

Lily

Good afternoon, readers!

I took a picture of this water lily just because I thought it was beautiful :)

GO USTE!

I watched the UAAP for the first time last 23rd of August, and we lost. UST lost to FEU BIG TIME! It was quite depressing, although I really did enjoy the crowd's energy, the noise, the thrill, and all that! I was shouting and praying and cheering - the main cause of my pharyngitis, which made me feel ill for two days. Haha! 

Fel and Charry, here are the photos you've been waiting for. Sorry for the long wait! I tried editing them, but the quality of my mobile's camera is really awful! I apologise for that.

This whole Lasagna from Sbarro made me feel better after our loss

AIESEC-UST ACamp 2012

Adjectives will simply underestimate how AIESEC-UST's ACamp 2012 went, and being a part of it is simply a pleasure and a great honour. 

With all the things that happened overnight, I really have no idea where to start, so I'll just say that the ACamp had its way of loosening up the anxious soul me. 

I never liked dancing. I never spoke to people who I don't know (they have to talk to me first). And, neither did I feel comfortable in working in a group composed of people I've never met before. But the ACamp turned everything around. I danced, talked to a lot of people, and just had fun! It was like watching a different Andy in the plenary hall. Most of the time, it felt weird, but it felt really good as well!

Like other conferences, the ACamp had sessions that further explained the nature of AIESEC to its new members, but the facilitators sure knew how to present their topics creatively, deducting the bore and adding some enjoyment.

We were also grouped (hi, Group 8!) for the various simulations and activities we had to accomplish, which helped us understand how important teamwork and professionalism are. I loved the Amazing Race-ish team building activity we had, although I screwed up big time in a challenge (again, I'm so sorry, guys!). But hey, everybody learns from their mistakes! Who knows? I might be the most well-versed human being on this planet someday! Haha!

The night was extra-awesome. But I can't spill the beans about it! Sorry!

There are loads of things to say, loads of stories to tell, but I guess no matter how much I try to put my ACamp experience into words, I won't be able to express it fully. You have to experience it yourself to know. 

So, if you... 

Want to make a difference,

Wish to inspire others, 

Hope for a better world,

Want to improve yourself,

Like making new friends,

Want to learn from your mistakes,

Love to travel,

Want to be a part of something different,

Wish to be heard out,

And simply know that you have what it takes to be an AIESECer,

Then join AIESEC!!!

Dream Spaces

Ever since I was young, I loved flicking through the pages of Good Housekeeping, my lolo's Reader's Digest Complete DIY Manual, and my architect uncle's magazines. I loved daydreaming about having colourful bedrooms, beautiful houses, green and floral gardens, and luxurious bathrooms in the future. I also loved adapting the things I see into childish drawings in my self-made magazine/manual. My mum actually thought that she'll have an interior designer daughter - and I did consider studying for such job - but no, here I am: a budding journalist.

My dream home isn't really a mansion in Beverly Hills, nor a glamorous apartment in New York. They're not even close. I'm the type of girl who sees herself living in a tiny house (with a porch) by the country side, a white hut by the beach, or a spacious flat where I can do just about anything - my writing, my painting, and my fantasizing. But, I'm not saying that I don't like a big house, cos I'd love to live in a big house! An eco-friendly solar-powered wood-and-glass house with an indoor garden. The only thing is, I'd rather live in a modest home.

Here are some things I'd like to have in my dream house in the future:
