KKK

Aaww, last KKK. (Kakaibang Klase) :( but it's ok 'coz i really had fun! So my first course was Accessory Design. We had a talk about bag making and the speaker was Mai Kauffman. She was with her husband David Kauffman (wow, very supportive naman :)) gosh, they're such a cute couple. haha. So after the talk we had a bag design contest and we had to explain it in front of everyone. Pls. don't ask what my design looked liked. The winners (Shim and Bernice) got a free bag. Daya! haha. :P

After Accessory Design we had Hip Hop/Break dance in the plenary hall. Our speaker/coach was the ACDT coach. haha, it was like ACDT audition all over again :P only this time I wasn't nervous haha. I actually enjoyed it. He told us a brief background of Hip Hop and taught us basic choreography and the wave :)). He was so galing! and he had fever pa that time. so 0.0 :)) haha. oh!

Because of yearbook requirements...

"If tomatoes wanted to be melons

They would look completely ridiculous

I’m always amazed

That so many people are concerned

With wanting to be what they are not:

What is the point of making yourself look ridiculous?

You don’t always have to pretend that you are strong,

There is no need to prove all the time that everything is going well

You shouldn’t be concerned about what other people are thinking,

Cry if you need to,

It is good to cry out all your tears

(Because only then you will be able to smile again)...

I want to be someone capable of seeing the unseen faces, of seeing those who do not seek fame or glory who silently fulfil the role life has given them...."

-Paulo Coelho (Like the Flowing River)
