Wow! Stellar: Iconic is now a memory that keeps on playing inside my head. The thought, feelings, and the things that we have done is still fresh. The early rising due to the 7am call time, the yummy breakfast that I had, the warm-up that made us sweat like crazy, the final dress rehearsals, the company call, the prayer, the make-up, the lights and the glamour has ended. This blog is written to recall the things that had happened a few weeks ago which was a photoshoot that was held at the Polecats Manila Studio and to show you some of the Behind the Scenes photos of Team Fort. Stellar: Iconic gave us a day where we became Lady Gaga! Yes, she's our icon. It was a fast-paced photoshoot but it was awesome to be with these people and share a few minutes of glamour. It's a good thing that I was able to buy my top on the very last minute! Thank you for Forever21! I even tried to ride the MRT for the first time on my own just to get to our photoshoot! Haha. It was...

Stellar: ICONIC marked 9 months of my pole dancing journey. It marked months of pain caused by bruises and frustrations but it also brought pleasure with the success of every trick, spins and dance. I never knew that I would be blessed with an opportunity to perform on stage once again but God moves in mysterious ways and surprised me with something amazing like this. I was hesitant at first to sign up for Stellar since I was a beginner and I was new in the big city but my fellow polecats did inspire me to sign-up and be a part of the annual performance of Polecats Manila.  We had a 7am call time on the Stellar day and I woke up so early because I had a nightmare. In my dream, I woke up late and that I didn't arrive early enough for our call time. This nightmare of mine woke me up so suddenly and so early!  #TeamFort spent weeks practicing the routine. Those were times when I had to push myself beyond my limits.  It's where we...

I miss walking through the halls of an art gallery and experiencing the stories behind the comfortable and disturbing images of different artists. Hearing the news about my team planning to visit an art museum in Antipolo City, Philippines got me excited for it has been a long time since I spent a day looking at artworks.  The Pinto Art Museum by the El Refugio Arts and Sciences Foundation,Inc. is located at No.3 Sierra Madre Street Grandheights Antipolo City, Rizal. My team arrived in the museum at around 10-11 am as we travelled from Bonifacio Global City. The taxi rate then was about Php 300 pesos from BGC to Pinto Art Museum.  The rate per person to enter the museum is Php 200.  It's my first outing with the team since I got employed two months ago and June 11,2016 marked my second monthsary with the bank! :D It was a great way to celebrate the day. So, let's start exploring the museum! But first, "Team Huddle" Of...

Learning archery has always been a dream of mine and I've made that happen on one Sunday morning! Thanks to Kodanda Archery range at Makati City, Philippines I was able to try an hour of archery class. The rate is at Php 580/ person. :D To tell you honestly, it's not easy but it's fun to know how to use a bow and arrow and improve on your focus. The bow is heavy and pulling the arrow towards you requires effort. Adding this to one of my expensive hobbies.  I'm excited to book my second class there. Book a class too! Contact Kodanda at 0933-238-5993 to reserve a slot! :D

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...

My father is really into unplanned trips. While we were heading to San Frans for lunch, I thought that we will just go back to Butuan City after eating but to my surprise we did not head back as originally planned. <3 Since I was not prepared for this trip, I was not able to bring extra clothes for swimming so I did not have the chance to swim in the Enchanted River of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur. There were a lot of people in the area so we did not get a space anymore. It was our family just visiting the place. haha!  We even had to hike from the parking area to the actual spot of the river! There are motor rides available for people who do not wish to walk from the parking area tho but we choose to walk since it was a shady area.  Well, I did not expect that we will visit the place on such short notice, but I do hope that I will get the chance to visit the place again and experience the wonders and calmness of the rivers. <3

Patience, determination and hardwork are three of the things that I have learned from the Pole Dancing classes at Dance Studio Terra Nostra, Butuan City.  There are times when I feel tired after work hours but I still choose to invest my time for pole dancing classes since our schedule is in the evening. Your strength is definitely affected if you have not slept properly a night before the class so that is why I always make sure that I was able to rest and sleep at least 8 hours a day. It's a waste to attend classes if you have no strength to withstand an hour of this, especially since this hobby is really costly.  These are the moments when I am beginning to get myself involved with inverts. It was difficult at first but I got used to doing it even if it makes me dizzy. Pole Dancing taught me to be patient because I definitely can not perform some tricks on my first attempt. There are tricks that my body has to perform that I still need to figure ...
