14 - MNL Adventures

Last August 14, 2015, we had a shooting for the AVP of our speech choir, relating to the poem "I am Filipino." First, they gad a shooting at APC's Discussion Room. After that, we went to the LRT station. The lines were long, but not long enough that the trains are crowded. In fact, the train we rode was kinda roomy. It was just John, Eugene, Fevy, and I because we got separated with others, so we just met at Central Station. When we got to Central Station and met up with the others, we went to SM Manila to buy some props. Well, they did. John, Fevy, and I went to eat lunch at the food court. We kind of took so long at SM. And after that, we walked from SM Manila to Fort Santiago. It was a very, very long walk, mind you and it was very hot.
We were all so haggard and sweaty. By the time we got there, it was already afternoon. I think it was 2-ish?
Anyway, we took several pictures there while the others had their "shoot." I was one of the last ones to be shot, and by that time, I was very, very haggard. Good thing, we managed to finish everything. It was already 5-ish when we left Fort Santiago. Of course, we took some photos before leaving. And yes, we walked to Central Station once again. We also stopped by 7/11 to get some refreshments while waiting for the others because they called and said that they were lost. We were supposed to attend the APC Frosh Night, but when we got to Central Station, the lines were very looooooooooooooong, so we changed our minds as it was already late and we're already tired. Besides, we reek of sweat.

 Fortunately, everyone got home safely. And actually, it's my first time to go to Manila without my parents. Hehehe. I didn't even think that they would let me go. Good thing they did or I would've miss the fun. Although the trip was very much tiring, I really had fun with my blockmates. It'll be one of my happy memories with SS151. I hope that we could do it again sometime.

    Some foreigners took pictures of you thinking you were part of the exhibit didn't they?. I was with you that day too and I have to agree that it was all something so enjoyable.

15 - Anti-Smoking Campaign

  Why are cigarettes legal? That is the question that ran in my head so many times, to be honest. I'm curious as to why they are legal and marijuana is not.  I'm just really curious because think about it: Marijuana doesn't really kill people, but cigarettes do. Marijuana is addictive, but so are cigarettes. Marijuana can cure sickness, but cigarettes don't. I'm not trying to say that marijuana is good and that it should be legal, no. My point is, shouldn't it also be illegal? I think it threatens people's health more than marijuana. Cigarettes are deadly. I think cigarettes should be illegal because not only it affects the smoker, but also other people who likes to keep themselves healthy, like me. I'm not smoking for a reason and that is to keep myself healthy, but how could I if people around me are smoking?  Second-hand smoking is even more dangerous than first-hand. Smokers exhale it, then other people would inhale it. I hate to be blunt, but ...

9 - Driving Lessons

Last Friday (August 7, 2015), before I went to school for the Freshmen Initial Interview, my father and I went to LTO (Land Transportation Office) to get my student permit. I was really excited because I really cannot wait to learn how to drive and get my driver's license, and it's on my bucket list, but that's beside the point.   I've been bugging them until they finally came with me to the LTO because they said that they could see that I was really determined to learn, which I think was the biggest understatement, because I couldn't stop talking about it. Hahaha, just kidding! The very first time I tried driving was last Saturday in our village. In the middle of the night, I might add. The first time I sat behind the wheel, I was nervous. Well, I don't really know if I'm nervous or just plain cold because of the AC or maybe a little bit of both... Anyway, the first try wasn't really bad and it wasn't that hard because it's autom...
