This is a repost of my blog entry yesterday. I decided to remove the tag because I don’t think it was worth it. Plus, I think the facts I posted were too cheesy :P
Peace, Love, Faith
Photographer and Model: Yours Truly
I got the ballers through Facebook when I saw a tagged photo of me with the baller collection in it. There were four: Shut Up, I’m Saying It Nicely (white), Peace Love Faith (pink, the one I own), our school motto (blue) and Edward Loves Theresians (black). The next day, Dani asked me if I would want to order one of the ballers. I replied that I will get the pink one. On Friday, she brought the bulk order of all ballers and I got the pink one. It was worth the P95 with its flexible design and über-chic print.
I have love written on my arms. Yay!
This week marked the kickoff of ICM’s centennial celebration. As of this writing, it is 10/10/10! I think this day is historic because this date is once-in-a-lifetime and will never be in the calendars again. Last Wednesday was our torch ceremony. Although I didn’t like the environmental condition of the GS Lawn because the grass was wet and the sunlight was piercing our eyesight, it was a quintessential ceremony. The performers all did well including the members of the school’s maintenance personnel. The costumes were striking, the performers danced like gazelles and everything was well-prepared.
Friday was memorable. Have you felt the feeling of meeting a well-known person or someone who is in the family tree of an influential individual? I have. Our class visited the ICM exhibit held in the De Meester Residence. There was hella a lot of memorabilia in there - t-shirts, souvenir programs, old photos and AVPs commemorating the 100 years of ICM’s existence in the Philippines. I met a lot of nuns too. And while visiting the AVP room, I met someone I couldn’t believe I’ll ever have an opportunity to talk to.
It was Myriam De Meester, Mother Marie Louise De Meester’s (ICM Founder) great-grandniece.
I greeted her and she said so many words of wisdom to me. She shook hands with me and I was awed with her kindness and hospitality. All of a sudden, I felt the honor to have walked inside the AVP room and have this sparkling opportunity to shake hands with a family member of a person who changed the world. Wow! There were stars in my eyes. In my opinion, I’d rather meet someone like her than a celebrity who’s always in the tabloids.
On the same day, I found out my OJE (on the job exposure) venue for the communication arts group. I was somewhat disappointed when I learned our group will be going to GMA Network Center tomorrow. I only know 5% of the talent center while in ABS-CBN I know 95% of them. To add the pressure, all 23 of us will have to pay P120 for the studio tour fee. I might even not recognize any of the celebrities except the obviously-famous ones (like Marian and Dingdong). But if we’ll meet the news team, it’ll be okay.
I’m excited for our musical play to be presented in November. Guess what? I’m going to play as the evil stepmother in a Cinderella/Anastasia clash musical. I think it’ll be my second time to play as a villain; my monologue as The Fates for our Greek mythology presentation was the first. I’ll be the exact opposite - bitchy, devillish and someone who’ll make your life a living hell. Speaking of hell, I’m reading Inferno by Dante for English already. Man, I can’t understand the text. Social life? I’m excited for Family Day, the 26th and the 28th. I’ll be with my Lucky 9 friends! :)
Still, I’m obsessed with the Forever Alone meme.
