Finally...the economics project is complete... That's significantly de-stressed me..
A sneak peak at the economics assignment:
Wow, they actually have renovation work in Manila!!! The view from the living room...
And the view from my bedroom...
Last weekend, I had my LASARET retreat. Wasn't really looking forward coz of all the negative feedback but the experience turned out to be very fulfilling indeed.
After hearing the experiences of friends and acquaintances from upper batches and those already through with LASARET, I didn’t receive a very favorable response. However, after going through with the retreat myself, I can sincerely say that I was genuinely moved, touched and inspired. I also learnt that I should take other people’s advice with a grain of salt hehe...
My favorite part of the retreat was the Solidarity Meal. College life, for me, has been for the most part, an emotional roller coaster ride. During the Meal, it really hit home that my life is after all, MY life. I can’t subsititute for another person’s life. I have to accept the goodies and not -the -so –good aspects of my life and strive to be the best I can be. The fruits, the bitter herbs and the sweets all bear a poignant resemblance to life’s mixed experiences.
I am glad that I can say that even though I'm a practicing Muslim, attending a Christocentric retreat has rejuvenated my relationship with God. Now I engage in a regular, healthy dialog with Allah.
Some photos I took of the place... So scenic. I'm jealous the nuns get to stay their 24/7 :P
Milenyo wreaked havoc in Metro Manila. Many areas of Makati City are still out of power. I feel for them. We were without electricity for a whole day.
It's the strongest typhoon in Manila in 11 years. That's the photo I took from my bedroom...
After staying home 3 days due to the typhoon aftermath, I must tell you how annoyed and pissed off I am.
What did I do? I studied
Last night, I worked out after a whole darn week. It was one of THE BEST if not the best. Not just that, the best part was that I immensely enjoyed the whole workout. Because I took up running primarily for weight
