Make A Difference






Make a Difference- reminded me of my experiences with the Ateneo School For Upcoming Leaders, Ateneo Campus Leadership Discovery, Xavier Engaged and Experienced Leadership, School of Business and Management Student Council, Kristohanong Katilingban sa Pagpakabana- Social Involvement Office and the Circulo De Arte. (My Leadership and Spiritual Formation)


Make a difference.  Ever since I experienced those leadership and spiritual formations, the way I think, talk and act  changed for the better. I entered the university with only one goal and that was to graduate with honors. I believe that  goal was a little bit selfish when I became aware of my role in the society. My formation made me see that college life is not only about excelling in my academics. College life is also about learning how to make a difference in one's  life and in the lives of others. 

I guess my college life wouldn't be life-changing if I didn't take the risk in being aware and involved. Sometimes all it takes is a decision to do something different. The big step of mine was to apply and be involved in student organizations. It paved way for more life-changing and disturbing experiences. Yes disturbing experiences. Why? Because I got exposed to the things that was happening in reality and times when I would lay down and have a difficult time trying to get some sleep just because I saw the real situation of my society and I can't help but think about the ways that I could do to change it. I can't help but feel frustrated of what was happening. I experienced this a lot ever since I decided to be part of the social involvement office and my life changed with those experiences.

My Ateneo experience wouldn't be the same without the leadership formation, the academic pursuit, and the social involvement. I wanted to make a difference and you too can make a difference. Just take that one big step of yours. If you are a freshman in the university who is also an achiever like me, don't just focus on your academics. You're missing out on the whole Ateneo experience. It will change your life forever. It changed mine for the better. :)

Be involved!

Make a difference!

EXO Planet #4: Elyxion in Manila

Imahe
EXO Planet #4: Elyxion in Manila  has ended. It's been two days since I've experienced something incredible that neither photos nor videos captured by phone could give justice to what I've seen LIVE.  As I'm writing this first blog entry for 2018, I can't help but feel both happiness and a little bit emotional in telling you how much I've loved and enjoyed every second of the three hours that it had.  Two months prior to the April 28th concert, I had the chance to join the Globe Pre-selling event together with my fellow PH EXO-Ls at the Globe Ampitheater in BGC.  For me, it was a day full of firsts. It was my first time to line up as early as 8am a day prior to the Globe Pre-selling event (EXO tickets gets sold out fast!) , got to meet my mutuals and slept outdoors while lining up to get my desired ticket: VIP seated-Row A. It was definitely worth the effort! (I wanted this so much as a gift to myself after my promotion and yes, here it is!

Experience Thailand

Imahe
November 2017. Our flight to Thailand was my first ever early flight as I've always preferred to travel in the evening so I can enjoy the city lights and see how beautiful places are. We opted to have the early flight so we can have more time to tour around the country as soon as we arrive. Airbnb was helpful for this international flight as we were able to book in Sutee's place in a convenient and affordable way. Fortunately, the staffs whom we met at his place were Filipinos and they also speak Cebuano.😊 So it was easy to communicate and get instructions to where we were going since we didn't purchase a simcard. 😁✌️ I even had the time to watch Produce 101. ❤️ (At the lobby 😊) On our first day, we spent time in Siam. Since it was a hot sunny day in November, we opted to stay inside the malls and shop.  It's best to wear a cap, sunnies and use an umbrella for this kind of day as it was also humid.  Shopping at MBK Center was afforda

Where I learned how to fly

I knew about Flying Trapeze Philippines as I was browsing the internet for things that I could experience here in Bonifacio Global City on weekends since my work schedule only runs on the weekdays. I was so excited to book a class for a Saturday 4pm schedule and it was both a scary and fun experience. For me, the experience was so exciting because I got to learn how to fly. Yay! Who wouldn't want that? I even pictured myself being one of those people doing shows in the circus too!  When I was climbing up the stairs, I was so excited but when I was about to jump I got so scared because I'm afraid of heights. HAHA! I wanted to conquer that fear of mine so I didn't hesitate to try this fitness activity. I jumped like a lot of times and I was still scared after several jumps.I even tried the catch on my first day! Flying was a fun experience and I wish to attend a class again soon! Life is too short to live in fear! Live life to the fullest! Conquer your
