Gold and White and Blue

Because Assumption Day is coming up, we should get into the spirit! 

Sr. Lourdes told us that our school takes Assumption Day very seriously. Duh, that's where the name of our school came from; Mary's Assumption. 

August 14, we will celebrate the Vespers of the Assumption Feast. That's tomorrow. And a feast on the 15 for everyone in the Assumption! Exciting! 

I'm looking forward to wearing my gala.  It's 4 years and I miss looking angelic. 

Panulaton Experience

Last July, more than 3000 students from all over Western Visayas gathered for a journalism workshop by Silak in Punta Villa.

So, being a sort-of "wallflower", not really, I never really joined workshops or anything that required your mingling skills... Sigh. However, this year I wanted to make it count and that hopefully when I'm old and grey, I'd think back to my last year in high school and say "I've had the greatest year of my life"

To say the least, this was first ever workshop. It was held in Punta Villa Resort in their crown ballroom.

The ballroom's ceiling was so beautiful and ballroom looked so... Royal. That was my favorite part of the event, the ballroom'a ceiling. There was giant crown chandelier for crying out loud and the room was freaking cold, no joke. 

I felt like I was back in England again.

My right hand after the first day was so destroyed. I haven't done so much writing in my life so that was an experience for me. 

Another memorable experience is having lobby photoshoots at nearly 12 midnight. Regardless of how tired we were, we still smiled and had 2AM pizza deliveries from Alberto's and watched a movie till our eyelids can no longer open. Fun.

The 2 day workshop was exhausting. Plus the following Wednesday we had our Mastery Tests so no rest for us, I guess. But yes, it was so much fun. 

Especially since most of my fellow Orange Jews were there, it was a BLAST. 

Welcome Back, Sci-Fi Nerd!

Sci-Fi is cool. Yes it is, it's very cool. 

I'd consider myself a nerd and a bookworm especially when I get too engrossed in a series. 

7 years ago, I loved reading about mystery.

A couple years later, silly childish 'Diaries' like Dork Diaries or Diary of a Wimpy Kid. 

But past is past and I find myself loving science fictions or even dystopian-like series. So what series now? 

I Am Number Four Series. 

The series follow John Smith, a 16-year old alien from planet Lorien, sent to earth along with 8 others to fight a Great War against a ruthless race of aliens, the Mogadores.

Reading series took me a to different world. This time, not a world where the protagonist lives in a slum or grew up in a military or finding the true place where they belong, no. This story took me to Paradise, Ohio in a powerful Alien's point of view who's developing his powers to win a war to save his planet. 

A different plot from other sci-Fi books I've read but it's a book that's impossible to put down.

This is the first time I've read anything 'alien' related. Surprisingly, I fell in love with the series the same as I fell in love with Divergent or even Hunger Games. There are 4 books that have been published but 3 more books are yet to come out. 

Exciting! :)

Our School is Prettier Than Yours

When did our school suddenly get pretty? 

Maybe the longer we stay, the closer we're to leave, we learn to appreciate our surroundings more.

For us 4th years, we are so close to leaving Assumption Iloilo. 9 months more to go to complete our Assumption Education.

Daisies

The first thing that really amazed me when I went to England 3 years ago were the daisies that just bloomed on the grass. Im not sure if they're really daisies. But they're really pretty.

Sunday Chill Day

Sunday.

Yes this post is all about my weekly Sunday agenda. Its not much to be honest. I'm not a very productive person. I'd rather be in my room all day than interact with our neighbors.

Yes that's how antisocial I am.

My normal Sunday goes like this:

+Wake up at 10 or even later

+have ''brunch'' then go back to my room; go on wattpad or sleep

+stay there until 3 or 4 then go to church

+(If i didnt go to church that week) go downstairs for at least 10 minutes

+Go back upstairs

+Have dinner

+Do homework if I have

+Twitter, Facebook, stalk my favorite youtubers

Go to sleep at 10

And that's the end of my Sunday. As you can see, human interaction is not on the list.

But today was different  than my usual Sunday routine.

I went biking today!

After mass, I wanted to go for a walk but we live in a somewhat dangerous neighborhood and it's unsafe to walk on your own. I borrowed my neighbors bike and explored the neighborhood I've been living in for 10 years. It was just as refreshing as a stroll and it helps clear the head.

Sadly i don't own a bike so I can't go biking whenever I want.

The Only 2

I only have one sister and God gave me a freak. Good, because I'm a freak when I want to. I feel sorry for our parents, though.They have to deal with us all their lives.
