Light Up Nuvali - 12/30/12

Yeah I know, the shoes doesn’t make sense in my outfit. I just wanted to wear something comfortable for that night. 

Last December 30, 2012, Nuvali Santa Rosa Laguna had a Sky Lantern Parade held at the EvoLiving Center wherein you will be surrounded with eco-friendly stuffs. 

It all begins with a revolution in our way of thinking, a vision not just for today but for the years to come. A forward-looking mindset that embraces sustainability as key towards shaping our future.

It was actually my first time to watch something like this. It’s really magical! Or it’s just me I guess. But seeing these lanterns fly above the sky together is really fascinating. Good thing I was able to convince my parents to watch. I wasn’t able to buy a lantern though, but probably next year’s sky lantern parade I will surely try to light my own. It was a nice experience before the year ended.

He leads my path

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” (Psalm 23:4)

Today, me, my mom and dad go to Nuvali. We had a family bonding; taking family pictures, eating together, talking endlessly and laughing like there’s no tomorrow. I’m really thankful to God for my parents. I promise to be strong for them and to give back the love and care they had given me. I know that God will lead me to the right way in order for me to reach my goal. He’s really awesome.

Princess by Heart

I made this image as my cover photo on facebook a few months ago. I’ve always like the Keep Calm and Carry On phrase including the crown on top of it. So, I have decide to make my own and instead of putting the keep calm text I replace it with my name. So that’s the result of it, simple but elegant. 

I’ve thought of putting a crown on top of my name because I know in my heart that I am my mom and dad’s princess. They have given me their love and support in everything that I do. They took care of me like I’m an expensive gem that should be handled with care. I’m really thankful to God for giving me loving parents like them.

Amazingly Beautiful Mother Nature

Computer Business Association (CBA) members had a team building at Tanay, Rizal entitled, Building up Synergy for 3 days and 2 nights, the CBA members had a lot of fun activities that they will never forget. The project managers of this event had researched very well because we really had a nice venue. We can all feel the fresh air and can see a great scenery. Btw, the name of our venue is The Sierra Madre Hotel and Resort.

The venue has a really nice falls.

I can’t stop laughing while watching them. All of them are complaining because the grass made them feel very itchy.

The NO-talking game. They must only follow the one in front of them.

With my talented Assistant.

This picture was taken on our last day. We don’t want to leave yet but we have classes to catch up. 

Having a team building is a great way on building relationship with other people. As what I’ve observed, whenever I’m attending a team building I gain friends. And I guess I’m not the only one who think that. As part of an organization you must know everyone, not only know them but be friends with them. I’ve also learned that we must understand how to create and develop experience of team work. Because everyone must contribute to the overall success of the organization.

DLS-CSB SMIT Honors Convocation 2012

Last October 5, 2012 the Honors Convocation for School of Management and Information Technology (SMIT) was held at the School of Design and Arts theater. I was invited to be part of the program flow of the said event. My friends are also going to receive their awards as well. 

                                together with my two achiever friends (L-R Jelo and Arianne) + Marcus

                            We also had a picture with our very own CBA Adviser Mr. Oliver Liwanag

We’re actually showing the CA sign. CA stands for Computer Applications which is our major in the degree we’re taking.

                                                                     With my friend Arianne Sarte 

I really am tired after that day. But I’m so proud of all the students who were able to achieve high grades. Their efforts and hard works pay off with the plaque they received during their convocation. I’m pretty much sure that their parents are so proud of them. It’s my honor to serve them during that day. 

I hope that all of the students out there will also do their best to get good grades and make their parents proud. Education will be one of the best gift that we’ll give to our parents. Let us make them feel that the money they spent on our education is worth it.
