"Shot" Up and listen... ( ha-ha just listen) 😉

Before I start with my first ever personal blog, written here are just my thoughts that I wanted to express. No brands and establishments are engaged.

Well my week/month goes like this, it didn’t or shall I say it was hell!! Academic requirements are piled up and it is almost the end of our first semester. Shout out to everyone who believes on/in the things that I‘m capable of and the feelings are mutuals. Blogging is my world now; yes not that really updated on every week with new blogs, but I’ll surely give you good contents (I hope…).

I just love capturing things that I see inspirational and gram worth it, admit it you guys would somehow never post a photo that kind of have a low quality one (people that are IG feed conscious “feed goals”) or maybe having not so good edit (I think?). Like me, some of my photos that I post on my Social Media accounts mostly on Instagram are taken by my phone. So probably some of you asking questions like “so?”, “IDGAF” or maybe “what’s the point of this”. Me being me, basically I love taking photos anywhere and yes a lot might say “tama nayan ha-ha”. That’s why you can see me taking photos around the campus or outside. I admit that I’m not that a pro on capturing photos but I just want to share my thoughts every time I take one. Sure does need to build up a self-confidence especially when shooting ootds or flat lays outdoor (syempre nakakahiya rin but it’s for the gram ha-ha!). To all who wanted to share something good on Social Medias, do what you can do. Every time you feel like “nah, I’m good” while deeply inside you wanted to, don’t let the inner you stop you from the things you wanted to do; if you could do it then do it. That’s why you (friends and acquaintances) probably could see me taking shots anywhere and everywhere ha-ha. But a good reminder, what you post on social medias are understood to be seen in public even private or not. just be careful on what you post/s.
Have an exciting month and take care! 💕

New batch of Ateneo Blue Vigors (incomplete). So proud of being part of this wonderful family, Ateneo Blue Vigors is a family that grew stronger and stronger, thus the circumstances we encounter and the misunderstandings that we had. Nevertheless, we still have the  unity within us. This is actually a benefit concert for our beloved Brebeuf Gym, our second home.

The song “ Worlds on Fire ” by Zerbin was used to honor our beloved gym. “ Worlds On Fire ” is an upbeat indie pop anthem about the love story of young lovers during an apocalypse. The song kicks off with a guitar then the adds the drums as Jason Zerbin sings, “I can’t believe my eyes / Playing in the dark we were hiding in the night,” and brings this anthem to life. 

But instead of two young lovers we made it about how the moments that was spent during the days that Brebeuf gym was still on the ground and after how we had risen from the tradegy. This sets the tone for chorus, which truly grasps your attention. Jason Zerbin sings, "so we danced in a fount of Parisian merlot/ With our head in the clouds/Bodies below in desire /The whole worlds on fire,” recalling some of the better moments that was left on the Brebeuf gym, the practices we had, the bonds we had and every moments that makes us smile. You’ll know when you are at the gym when the rules says “ NO STEPPING ON THE YELLOW LINE ” haha those days tho.

The evaluations we had when I was still a newbie. A lot of things happened there (tears).  At last the concert was a success , we thank YAMAHA, Ateneo de Zamboanga University, SACSI (SIMO CULMINATION) and El Consejo Atenista for having this benefit concert successful, it was an amazing experience! The tears and sweat we shed was worth it. Also a special thanks to our amazing President, to our Vice-President, to our Head Choreographers, to my co-blue who should lie low at the time , to my batch 2015 and lastly to my second family the Ateneo Blue Vigors. One Passion, One Family, Blue!
