Psyche 2.0

For our monologue in CAE I portrayed  Psyche, the goddess of the human soul or better known as the personification of the human soul. She is famous for her legendary love story with the god of love, Eros. Wondering why I chose Psyche for my monologue? It's quite a funny story actually. I had a hard time finding a character that I really like and can be like "bagay sakon" in a way. I thought of giving up because all my classmates have good characters and they already made their scripts but thank the heavens Lou told me about Psyche and Eros and boom! Psyche 2.0 is me ha ha ha. Dressed up in my ala psychologist outfit and even if I was shaking due to nervousness, I did my very best and I guess laughing it off at the last part was quite great. And oh, I'll never forget how I slipped while wearing those heels for my costume *face palm*

MMAzing moments with MMAzing people

To spend my last year in Assumption-Iloilo with these girls makes me very happy and excited at the same time. I'm really looking forward to a school year full of laughs, tears and memories with them whether inside or outside of the classroom. MMAsters for life! ❤

Getting To Know You

Learner's Hour also known as a time of getting to know one's schoolmate and not just your fellow batchmates but also the students from the Grade 7, Grade 8, and Year III. June 8, 2013 marks the day of my last Learner's Hour in Assumption-Iloilo. Sad but still, we all felt really great at the same time. I mean, who wouldn't enjoy this awesome event? Not only did we go wild during the games andcheered our fellow learners in the games plus the participation of the teachers made us laugh even more. Most of all, I'll never forget how I fell during that one game of running back and forth and when me and my batchmates danced to Genteleman during the Hog Race. Seriously, that was so fun! Certainly, the best Learner's Hour ever.

KALIWA KANAN KALIWA KANAN!

In my whole life, I'd never thought of being a CAT officer let alone survive 3 days of intense training under the scorching heat of the sun. With no drinking of water for at least 4-5 hours and having constant drills and doing whatever else our commandants tell us what to do. Ha ha, don't even get me started on the 10 or 15 rounds of jogging early in the morning which I thought would be the end of me. But you know what? I SURVIVED. I survived the dead tiring challenges we all went through and I'm proud to say I did my very best and I really did it with my all. A lot of people were wondering why I wanted to become a CAT officer. First of all they all thought I was joking and I'm doing this for fun with the rest of my friends but no, it's not a joke for me. Yes, being a CAT officer will require a lot of hard work, discipline, responsibility and patience. And that's one of the reasons why I wanted to become a CAT officer. I wanted to become a better student, a more challenged one. I swore to myself that before I graduate from Assumption-Iloilo, I wanna do things that will make my family, my friends and most of all myself, proud. I want to be remembered, not only as the girl who is so loud and full of energy and laughter. I also want to be remembered by my *hopefully* high grades, great skills, and as an awesome student. But also, I want everyone to know the CAT officer that is inside of me. Cadette Captain Baylon at your service. Ready, up!

Life's a beach, enjoy the waves

Last summer, my friends came over my house for our annual fiesta here in our barangay.

We ate so much until we were all full, talked(in our case, chika chika), played games and etc. It was a fun filled fiesta for all of us!

 Selfie with them :D


There's this attic in my room so we planned a prank on Dia to lock her inside there. It was real funny because of her reactions and pleas to let her out. Haha!



Just chilling inside my room

 


Since my house was near Villa beach, we all decided to spend the rest of the afternoon there. It was quite hilarious along the way since we encountered a group of "sunoys" so we had to walk as fast as we can until we reached the beach! Hahahaha!
 


Huzzah! Huzzah! Welcome to Villa beach :)


We danced, sang and played and most of all....selfies!!! It was truly a day full of laughter and memories we will never forget.









We wrote the name of our idols on the sand. Credits to Elissa for doing all the writing!


Eat our waves, dudes!

What can I say? Hah, my life wouldn't be complete if it wasn't for these girls. 

 

Once upon a time....okay maybe not. But, it all started around sophomore year when we were all classmates (except for Ninna and Mion but we are still close friends with them back in 2nd year) We all came from different little groups but became united during our junior year and we named our group Power Rangers X44. Weird name you might ask? I know! Haha. Crazy, loud, annoying, plus endless roars of laughter and fun!

There were times that our friendship went through trials and difficulties that break us down but no, we didn't give up. We realized that these problems make way for our friendship to become stronger and better everyday and that's what keeps us going. If someone asks me to describe my friends, I become speechless but in a good way of course. That's because whenever I think of these girls who have been there for me in my ups and downs, in my PMS moments and lunatic ones as well. Whether my face is full of frowns or tears of joy, they are there to support me and love me despite my imperfections as a person and as a friend. These girls accept me for who I truly am and that makes me happy and blessed to have them in my life. There are no words to describe our friendship but just take look at the smile on our faces and then you'll know ;)
