From The Heart to The World, BIDA: Be The Change!

Last weekend was the deadliest, most tiring, and equally fun weekend of my life so far. I was recommended by the Cultural Arts Office Director to be a facilitator at the CEAP Bidahan youth camp, with two other officers from the same office. I was iffy at first, thinking that it would be such a hassle, with thesis and the term nearing its end. But I met new people who are now good friends of mine; that alone takes away all the worries and doubts. I also gained so much experience in facilitating a large group of people with a vast set of unique personalities, as well as in dealing with different kinds of situations. I still have so much to say! But I'm still tired from those two days, so here I am, reporting that I am still alive after all the mental, physical, and emotional chaos I went through last week.

BIDA: Be the Change (Bidahan) 2010 Youth Camp

November 27-28, 2010 | Assumption Antipolo

From the heart to the world, BIDA: Be The Change!

Earth keepers, ethical leaders! Ate Misyel Avelino pep talks all facilitators at the Faci HQ, aka Bat Cave!

Facilitators from DLSU (CAO, SLIFE, DO, LSPO) with Sir Lysander and Sir Jupiter!

The fusion of crazy facilitators that is DLSU and CSB! The oldies couldn't handle us. Hehehe.

More photos!

Butterfly Twin Popsies with my newly-found cousin, Margie!

Ever so kulit duo from LSPO, Nino and Chase!

Co-facilitator Aya and I with the brains of Bidahan, Mr. Rene Salvador San Andres!

Thanks to Geom (in blue) for bringing us to untouched girls' room with a shower head!

Okay, so on my way to the wash room to brush my teeth... Let's just say there were so many interruptions that led me to this... The most dyahe fan photo that Paolo Santos will ever have. Haha. He was cool about it anyway!

On to the next day...

I have to admit. I like sleeping on the floor but I hate waking up to find that I was on the floor all night. My back, hips, and joints won't stop screaming at me. But at least I was wearing the panda socks that Joh gave me. Hihi.

The trio just can't stop bonding. Haha.

Forcing a smile despite the extreme exhaustion.

Time to go home!

Good Start

Midterms week. Ack!

It's Tuesday, I know, but it's technically the start of my school week (just for this one) because of the special holiday (People Power Anniversary) yesterday. In my previous blogs, I have mentioned a couple times too many about how my February weeks haven't turned out to be so great. Ergo, wishing hard that the last week of this month would turn out okay, at least.

So today, as I start this week right, I tried to be productive, see. I did normal stuff. You know, the usual class-Agno-meeting-tambay combination. Today proved to be worth all the stressful weeks that passed. Thus far, that is. I hope this week is awesome-epic-like-you-can't-imagine. Although I try not to expect a lot, I have high hopes because life makes bawi in due time like that. (Sorry for the poor grammar, brain and body's tired and is shutting down earlier than expected.)

Something extraordinary that I did today was voting for the next set of Green Media Group Executive Board.
Enough said.

To top the day off, the La Salle Dance Company - Street (LSDC-Street) invited us, the Danz Dish 5 production crew of GMG, to their post-concert celebration at the Torre Lorenzo roof deck. I got there and I saw all the LSDC-Street members/dancers in costume! How cute they all looked! They sported different looks: Avatar, Boys Over Flowers, WWE, Saw (?), and yeah, that's all I remember. Heehee.

I felt unsure as I entered because I believe I was under-dressed, you see. It took me a while, though, to realize that my white shirt topped with a navy blue vest/chaleco made me pass as one of the hosts! Jay Leno and Ellen Degeneres, go figure. Hahaha!

Ellen Degenereses: Ikat Gallardo and Cee Salvador. There are a couple more from them dressed this way but she's the one nearest me that I could grab a photo with. Haha.
