Who wakes up at 4 AM on a Sunday???

For the first time in a long time, I woke up before the sun was even out..AND on a Sunday too! haha Woke up around 4AM to get ready for the Lakad Masa. Assembly at the temple was at 5 AM but we left the house around 4:50. Luckily there were still people at the temple when we arrived. Whew! The Lakad Masa walk-a-thon started around 6. We were to walk from Quirino Grandstand to Rizal Memorial Stadium. THe distance between these 2 places is pretty far, but it didn't seem as exhausting as I expected it to be. We were too busy talking and having fun, that we barely realized the distance that we had to walk.There were 3 representatives from the YAD; namely, Candee, Katz and moi. hehe We reached Rizal memorial stadium at around 7, but we didn't go in to watch the competition or something that they were having. We went straight to McDonalds for breakfast then home afterwards to catch up on some ZZZ's.
Oh and we went to Glorietta at lunch, coz we were all feeling hungry but didn't want to cook. hehe We watched the Pacquiao, Morales fight at TGIF. Actually, we were looking fro a place that has a TV. We could hardly find seats in the non-smoking area, but there were only a few people smoking and we wanted to watch the fight (since it was already starting when we got there) so we decided to sit at the smoking area. Was able to catch the end of Round 2 and the whole end of the game. It was fast...thats all I have to say. Our orders weren't out yet and the fight was already over. Well, come to think of it, it would have been kinda hard to eat with all the shouting and clapping that was going around. That would have like caused choking or indigestion. bwahaha

exhausting weekend

After weeks of planning and preparation, the fund-raising bazaar is finally over. It was gruelling two days of selling beverages.hehe At first, I was apprehensive since I thought that beverages might not sell well at a bazaar. But in the middle of te first day, with 10 wholesale orders and a sales record that was showing progress, I finally stopped worrying. We didn't do too bad. Earned about 40K(without deducting the expenses). Although, it isn't the amount that we hoped it would be, we are still happy that we were able to reach this amount.

Met a lot of people there, too. Saw Morris, Ernest and Erika. Then, I also saw Imelda Marcos. She was so tall. and a lot of people were taking pictures and such. There was a lot of commotion when she came.

BTW, we would like to thank the BLIA YAD volunteers who came and helped man the booth. We really aprreciate all the help.

Yellow Cab and Starbucks

Met up with Erika and Honey Lyn this afternoon. It was a small get together since Honey is leaving in a couple of weeks. It was nice talking and reminiscing about high school and catching up on what our other batch mates are doing these days.

It's kinda awkward since the topics we talk about are getting more serious every time we meet. Before, it wasabout books we read, restaurants we eat at, places we go to..now, what we talk about is more or less centered on life and what we plan to do with it. It makes us feel like we're getting old even though we are just about to enter the "real" world. hehe I wonder what our meetings will be likewhen we get even older.

first driving lesson

Had my very first driving lesson today. I was so nervous, more on the scared side...haha I was wishing and praying that I wouldn't bump or collide with anything while I was driving. I was driving pretty slow...ok fine, too slow. The cars behind me were honking their horns, which kinda escalated the nervous barometer.

The engine shut off a couple of times coz I kept on forgetting not to release the clutch so much when I'm just starting to move. Have to keep that in mind for my next lesson...and after the lessons are over. hehe
