One happy Sunday morning with my little sister

Tricia and I used to quarrel all the time because of one small issue --- cleaning our room. Despite of that, we know that we love each other and I'm happy to be her elder sister. She even runs to me when she's dealing with her problems in school, with boys, with her friends, and etc..

Today, I asked her to join me as we take pictures using the webcam so that I can try the app I just installed last Thursday... and tahh- dahh! here's the outcome.


We just newly woke up that time that's why our eyes look like that :p

Two thumbs up for Gorgeous!


I saw my blockmate's status update on facebook, and I must say I can totally relate with this. It ain't easy being a Communication student, if you just know. We do so many things at a time. In short, multi-tasking. But at the end of the day, we still enjoy the hassle activities we do because we want this, we excel in this kind of field and we know that we are strong to handle everything that's why we survive!

Cheers to all CA!

The truth about us


CHEERLEADING & Stuff

Here’s to the people who say cheerleading isn’t a sport and that cheerleaders aren’t athletes. The very definition of sport is, and I quote, “an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature.” We practice just as much as you do. Every day of the week, 2+ hours. We condition, We run, We do ab workouts and pushups and planks. No, we don’t lift weights, we lift our athletes-and we hold them 10-15 feet in the air until our arms shake. Until our legs quiver. Don’t doubt the flyers either. We have more muscle than you seem to think. The amount of balance, leg muscle, and core tightness it takes to stay in the air is unbelievable to someone who has never done it before. We run full speed at nothing, then flip in the air, twist, and land on our feet. We jump. We jump high-without a trampoline. Concentrating on pointed toes, extended legs, tight arms, jump height, facials, and smiling… Ever based a basket toss? You get blood blisters on your hands. Softball sized bruises start to appear like magic. As for the flyers, if you’re not tight, expect to have your back jammed into your bases knee. Don’t forget about the backspots. We are the lifeguards of cheerleading. We save lives everyday. We get concussions, hit, and rammed into the ground. Without us, your flyers would be injured. Sprained ankles, broken fingers, and pulled muscles don’t slow us down. You practice like it doesn’t hurt. Now you have 2.5 minutes on a paneled mat. You have 1000+ people in the crowd every time you go on that floor. 4 judges. 2.5 minutes of horrendous physical activity and we make it look easy. Perfection doesnt exist, but here we go reaching for it anyways. You hit or you miss. Toes weren’t pointed? Deduction. Didn’t stick your tumbling? Deduction. Stunt didn’t hit? Deduction. You all think we’re the prissy girls who always have to have perfect hair and makeup. You’re wrong. At practice, we have messy buns and running makeup. Competitions? Sweats until we absolutely have to get ready. Do you think that cheer uniform is comfortable? It’s not… Sure the hair and make up is fun and gets us in the mood to perform, but ultimately it’s to unite us as a team. To be uniformed and have the same look. Think we don’t eat & are obsessed with being skinny? Good joke. We love food. Not all cheerleaders are mean girls who think they rule the school. We have really good grades and don’t hang out with the “cool kids” and go parties every weekend. We don’t all have starting quarterback football boyfriends or even any boyfriends at all. People see us as stereo types. Its wrong. Cheerleading is in the top 5 most dangerous sports in the world. Did you catch that? Sport. Proven to be in the Top 5 most dangerous, and you still have the nerve to say its not a sport? You’ve got to be joking. Cheerleading is something you have to want and work for. You have to love it and have a passion for it. So you doubt us? Fine. We’ll prove you wrong. Say we’re not athletes? Okay. Come to a practice. Compete with us. You’ll think differently. Say what we do is easy? Try it. I dare you.

I have no contentment in life


I’m tired of being this average person. I get average grades, average skills, and average things in life. Though some people think I’m amazing for I have done these, I have done that, lucky I have these and I have that, but no, they aren’t enough and I’m still not satisfied. I want more.  I’m aiming higher, have extreme and fabulous desires, and whatever I do they just don’t seem to work out the way I wanted.

I still don’t know what is lacking. I always pray to God, always nice to people, always do good deeds to others, always listen and understand them, always prepare things early, always submit everything on time, always save money, always study and train hard, etc., etc., and it frustrates me because I haven’t seen any novelty in myself and in the life I’m living or with the things I’m having.

I’m not a loser, am I?

Sigh.

Aside from not giving up, and finding better solutions to have a higher status, is there still away?

Woah!


I know.. you haven't heard much from me. OK, I'll just get to it. I know I have a lot of catching you up to do... I know I've been slack. I know I have lots going on. I know you're probably wondering (maybe) what I've been up to. So... here's part of it.

Last week of January- my class in COM-101 had a guess, and he's a segment producer in ABS-CBN named Sir Von. He talked more about TV Production, and how he became successful in his career, which inspired us, communication students, to perform well in our studies to achieve the things we also wanted, especially the kind of job we want to have.
With Ms. Nancy Conception (professor) and Sir Von (segment producer)

January 29-30- The Communication Department had a Team Building Seminar in Chateau Royale, Nasugbu Batangas. I was one of the students who participated in that activity. Many things of course happened in there, but the highlights were; I was able to finish and reach the 70ft. Altitude rock climbing, won a prize in our group presentation, and wore a floral dress for our Luau Party.




Next to that, when the month of February entered, our training schedule had changed to everyday from MWF. I do not know how to describe the things happening to me. All I know is I am able to survive at the end of the day ....

I'd like to skip more parts ....

February 6- The school had a special guest, Director Pepe Diokno, to give us a talk about the film industry in the Philippines for our Communication Week. It was a pleasure to see him in person that day.

February 7- Another special guest came to our school, this time it was Mr. Carlos Palma, a food blogger. He talked about random facts about blogging (which I can obviously relate to) and his life traveling around Asia to discover different foods to blog about. He's cool, awesome, and got SWAG!

Mr. Carlos Palma



February 12- The day the 1st ALLS Grand Alumni Homecoming event was held. Only few from my batch came since we were all fresh high school graduates. Besides, we see each other often that's why the essence of this event did not have much impact to them--- yet.

And since it's February 14 today, dad is the first ever man who greeted me for Valentine's day. He's such a sweet dad ever!
