And yes! AWESOME is my word of the year. :)
So here it is, (sort out by month!)
This is one of my shots. I'm sure this is not the photo that is included in our exhibit. :) Anyway, I like it.
We went to Corregidor (Camera Club with 3rd year photojourn students :)). We are very lazy to take photos because its very hot! We even wanted to swim but we don't have our swim wears. Its a nice experience because CORREGIDOR is history. And as I say history, we encountered creepy moments. Haha.
My looorves!
They are my girls. When we speak about tv series, we are the main characters. I remember that this happened after Corregidor, we ate at Teriyaki Boy wherein we cursed the place after. I think this is the time that when we don't have that much money. We tried not to buy or spend anything on Corregidor but we realized that after eating at Teriyaki Boy, we spent too much. Do you know the feeling when you spend money then after you'll say "Grrr. di kaya masarap, di ako nabusog!" I even remember we are cursing Airiz on the way home because she's the one who says she wants Maki.. It all started there. :) This is one of the "breathe of fresh air moments" that I have with them. Not in the picture: Kianah and Paolo :)
Our dear friend Niley. Our little girl suddenly became a woman na. We love you dear Niley and our dear Eiffel.
Mr. and Ms. Cas - the time that we assisted the contestants in their outfits and everything. Haggard moments but feels good because we dream of working backstage. Thanks for Saii and Rei, for allowing us to give help. Super haggard and I remember "nag init ulo ko sa isang contestant." haha. secret! :)
Elai's 19th birthday
COCOPEA CONGRESS :) Actually I don't remember the details of the program though MOST of the Presidential Candidates at that time are very late. The students are even tired to listen to them. My friends are busy looking at the food table if there's still spaghetti. The only thing I remember fully is our picture taking at SMX :)
Of course, who could forget? Row's 21st birthday Celeb at Starbucks! :)
I think March is one of my depressed months. :) I remember we have moments of haggard days because of requirements. And moments when I would cry because Mega Pub., Summit Media- my dream places for internship are still not responding to my emails. I was really devastated at that time. Some good points are, I have dinner nights with my friends.
But I think the most special one is when Eiffel Paris came into our lives. Especially to our friend Nile and Anjo. Their little angel. I think she's truly a blessing not only for her mama and papa but also for us. I remember that between those busy days we would stop everything just to talk. (I'm referring to original a104 barkada - mean girls) We are all happy for Niley.
I just hope Eiffel will not grow up that fast. (pwede ba yun?) haha. When you grow up, I will let you read this blog and to show you that you are very loved. :)
My kuya's graduation :) and bestfriend's 20th birthday. Pictures here and here
My internship moments
I dream of being in a Magazine Publication but in the media organization Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility (CMFR), I experienced more than what I wanted to experience. I tried something different (out of the box my usual feature stories) wherein I have applied the lessons my professor, Sir Gil Santos, taught us.
I even experienced the "its getting hot in here" in the office when ABS CBN's Maria A. Ressa defended their news team on a statement given by CMFR. (grabe ang awesome lang kasi.. Ang gagaling ng mga boss namin and of course the veteran journalist Mr. Luis Teodoro.)
It is also the time I fully understand the Maguindanao Massacre Case wherein we got to attend rallies and made interviews with prominent people in Media and Politics. We felt for the victims' families but we also learned to do our job and forget about the emotions. We were also one of those photographers & reporters who are joking, laughing and almost killing each other just to get interviews and photos. But, the best is when your work is published. With those hundred edits and different colors of marks just to make it perfect. See here
It is nice to meet new people but the most awesome is to stay friends with them after all of this. I will forever be grateful to them.

Still finishing my last days in the office when some of my friends also started their internship at CMFR. So, I don't have that so called "vacation" but I have "gala" days with my cousins. :)I even learn how to play BINGO (sa mall). We almost won Php 10,000. ALMOST! "Ganun pala yun feeling pag isang number na lang kulang mo, akala mo talaga mananalo ka na.... :)) My kuya ninoy (cousin) said (who is an expert bingo player) "ano ba yan? Naubos ko na yun ten thousand sa utak ko eh.." hahahah!
National Press Forum at Diamond Hotel
The time when we wished that we could turn back time. Sana dun na lang kami sa event ng CMFR pumunta. hahaha. Anyway its an experience na pakape kape, cookies at ensaymada. :)) I love my girls (elai, jedi, debs, airiz) this time wala kami ginawa kundi tumawa at maidlip. :))At syempre makinig kay Sir Yambot. :))
Enjoying each other's company. -Seniors na. :)
Wow. I realized first 6 months pa lang ng year parang ang dami ng nangyari. :)) pano pa kaya sa second part? :))
