Bang, bang! (Day 4)

Day 4 - Bullet your whole day 

This post was supposed to be about yesterday, February 4 ☺

✪ Fran & I both woke up around 6 AM then we both fell back asleep. Her mom eventually woke us up an hour later.

✪ Started panicking because we were supposed to leave the house at 7. Started rushing about so we wouldn't be that late for our exposure trip.

✪ Ended up leaving her house around 7:45. Her dad and the driver brought us to the LRT Station.

✪ Experienced that really scary and awkward moment when we weren't sure whether we were waiting on the right side of the station. This made us really nervous since we were running late. Thankfully, we were in the right side.

✪ Walked really fast from the LRT Station to the tricycle stand. The line was really long though so I told Fran that I'd rather take a cab and pay extra rather than get left behind.

✪ Arrived in Ateneo around 3 minutes late but then so much other people arrived later than we did.

✪ Our block rode in 2 separate jeeps going to the Malanday, Marikina where our block was assigned for the exposure trip.

✪ Once we got there, we realized just how much kids we were gonna be handling. Instead of the 50 kids that was originally agreed upon, 70+ kids ended up coming.

✪ Had a really fun program that involved a lot of games and even a dance party! The kids were all so energetic and nice. We all had a lot of fun! ☺

✪ Zian and I met this one kid in particular who was just so sweet. His name was John Paul. While he was eating the meal that our block provided, he told me something which really touched me.

John Paul: Buntis si Mama. Na sa bahay lang siya. Titirahan ko na lang siya nito kasi alam ko gutom na gutom na siya. (My mom's pregnant. She's just home. I'll just leave some of this food for her because I know she's really hungry.)

Me: Aww. Ang bait mo naman. Pero ubusin mo na yan! Alam ko di ka pa busog. Dami dami pa niyan eh. Hahanap na lang ako ng extra na pagkain para sa mama mo. Pero ubusin mo yan ha? (Aww. You are so nice. But you have to finish that! I know you're not yet full. There's still so much left. I'll just look for extra food for your mom. Just finish that, okay?)

John Paul: Hindi, okay lang. Bibigay ko na lang kay Mama 'to. Hindi pa siya nag aalmusal eh. (No, it's okay. I'll just give this to my mom. She hasn't had breakfast.)

Me: Wag na, hahanap kami ni Zian ng pagkain, wag ka mag-alala. (Don't, Zian and I will just look for food for her, don't worry.)

John Paul: Sige na nga Ate. Salamat! (Okay fine, thank you!)

Fran ended up giving John Paul the food she was supposed to have for lunch so that he could give it to his mom ☺

✪ We all took so much photos together with John Paul. In fairness, he has model potential because of all the poses he did, hahaha.

✪ We left the place around 11:30.

✪ Once we got back to Ateneo, some of us decided to have lunch together at Flaming Wings, Katipunan.

✪ We rode Zian's pickup truck. It was such a fun ride because the others decided to ride at the back while Zian, Fran & I were the only ones inside.

✪ The ones sitting outside (Choi, TJ, Vern, Joyce, Mikee and Erika) kept on laughing and waving at the cars passing by. Meanwhile, Fran & I were talking to them through the window.

✪ Fran kept on screaming outside and it was extra funny cause she lost her voice the previous night and her voice kept on breaking.

✪ Thankfully the MMDA people outside just looked at us and didn't make the driver stop.

✪ Quick lunch at Flaming Wings.

✪ Rode with Mira and Jake otw home. Stopped by Mira's place before they dropped me at Piazza.

✪ Waited a bit for my driver to pick me up.

✪ Had a 2-hour nap before leaving the house again to fetch my mom and my sister.

✪ After picking them up, we went to Kuya Jo's dress shop to show him the design of the gown that my mom needed to be made for her company awards night on Feb 23.

✪ Passed by Army Navy after and got some food for take-out.

✪ Finally got home and watched TVD S03E13 ♥

✪ Started making those blog posts which I failed to do for 3 days.

✪ Eventually fell asleep.

So yeah, that's pretty much what happened last February 4 ☺

Everybody

I don't really feel like talking about anything in particular so I think I'll just summarize my day in bullets ☺

☒ Left the house around 8 AM

☒ Dropped my mom first at her office in Ortigas before going to Ateneo

☒ English 101 was quite interesting today. We talked about the last 2 samples of EPEs (expanded personal essays) that our prof gave us. Let's just say that they were very interesting. Our whole class couldn't stop talking about one in particular because of how interesting and informative it was. (Clue: It was written by a guy)

☒ Had Lit class after and our group reported on Jaime An Lim's poem "On the eve of the execution". I really liked the poem because of how clever the author was in writing it.

☒ Lunch break with Justine, Fran & Max. We (Justine, Fran & I) discussed our Friday plans the whole time while Max just stared at us (Sorry, Max! Haha.) But then Max agreed that Justine & Fran are seriously alike in so many ways.

☒ Last class for the day which was ES. I found it amusing that Zian abandoned her usual habit of taking notes and played Temple Run the whole time instead. It was cause she was so bitter with her ES lecture advisory grade, haha. Oh and I also made her listen to David Archuleta's rendition of "Nandito Ako".

☒ Was done for the day by 1:30 but I had to wait for 3 hours because I had a general assembly to go to at 4:30.

☒ Decided to spend the 3 hours with Fran and Charmaine at Tea.ology. We ended up staying until 3 PM because Charmaine wanted to go to Moonleaf to join the UP Monopoly Deal challenge.

☒ Walked to Moonleaf and supported Charmaine. The best part was that I saw one of my best friends, Lourdz Acopiado! I swear, I missed this girl so much because I haven't seen her in so long. It was great catching up with her.

☒ Transferred to another venue because it was too hot in Moonleaf.

☒ Ended up leaving the tournament around 4 because I didn't want to be late for the GA.

☒ Attended the CoSA (Collegiate Society of Advertising) Officers Selection GA.

☒ It finished 30 minutes earlier so I was glad to get home early.

☒ Enjoyed dinner a lot because it was my first "real" meal for the day.

☒ Asked permission to go to Orville's party on Feb 3 + told my parents that it's also my block's exposure trip on the morning of Feb 4.

☒ Had the funniest group chat with my En/Lit block, M03. We were talking about the guy who wrote the EPE that disturbed us so much and my other blockmates even stalked him on Facebook! Then we all started telling random jokes. I love how we all have the same sense of humor :))

☒ Packed my gym bag since I'm hitting the gym with Zian again tomorrow! It's definitely a productive way to spend our 4-hour break. I was actually supposed to go today after class, but then I got lazy :| I'm really excited to go to Zumba class again though. It's one of the best ways to workout! ☺

☒ And now, I am typing this blog. . .

So yeah, that pretty much sums up my day. It wasn't really interesting, sorry :)) Hope I come up with more interesting things to talk about next time.   

P.S. The title doesn't seem to make sense now that you've read my post but let me explain first. I've decided to just put a random song title for those posts wherein I just talk about my day/I can't think of a title to put. So this song is the first song that played when I put my iTunes on shuffle. It's Everybody by Autovaughn ☺
