My summer 2013 - B

My family and I decided to go on a one week tour around Beijing and Shanghai, and it was fun and exciting thought we had long and tiring walks, but it was all worth it. We were with a Chinese-Filipino group, that's why it was easy for us to communicate and get along. Of course one of the great things is that we had a chance to have new friends.

Here are a few of the places that i compiled and made it a video. Sorry if it was a little shaky cause I was just using my phone to film this one. Happy watching!

Tarlac Photo Diary

So for our NSTP-CWTS exposure trip, our class along with 11 other classes were chosen to have our trip in Hacienda Luisita, Tarlac. And we were given a chance to live with the farmers there for a day and experience the things they do, from waking up at 3 am to dealing with their water system which is only available from 4 am til 2 pm to learning how cook using a pot and charcoal, and to learning how to harvest crops.

This 24 hour trip taught us so much, because of how the lived there and their experiences fighting for the land they own, base on their numerous stories.

Here are some picture that our assistant leader, Sherlaine Yap took during our trip. 

Day 1 ( March 2)

One of our tasks is to hold an art workshop for the kids there. We decided to teach them origami so we provided some colored paper and some crayons for them to use.

Our teacher Ms. Yang!

Day 2 (March 3)

To complete our experience with the farmers, they taught us how to harvest mongo.

So that sums up our one-of-a-kind weekend in Tarlac! ;)

Football in the South

Last month, my brother Benju (16) joined the Makati Football Club along with his friends. November 10, we woke up early to watch his first football game sponsored by Alaska in Alabang Country Club.

The day started really gloomy and it rained a little. So we thought that the game would be canceled but gladly it stop really quickly. That's why the games started early, about 7:30 am.

There were lots of kids there, from ages 10-16, boys and girls. Children from different schools like Manresa, Zobel, Ateneo, Ateneo Davao, FEU, and a lot more.

I really didn't understand the whole football sport, so I did what a great sister would do, I took pictures of him while me and my other brother Brandon (13), who was taking a video of the game, were sitting on the grass in the middle of the heat of the sun, of course with our umbrella. 

Here's my brother! :D

After more or less watching kids play football, their standing was 2-3 (Win - 2 ; Lose - 3)

At least they had fun and the learned things. And they won 3rd place over 4 places. HAHAHA! At least it's better than the last. ;)
