David's the Answer, baby!

When we first held our ATM cards and saw the allowance given to us for a month by the GEM program, we were all in cahoots to buy this and buy whatever we see fit for our needs in our three month stay here in Manila. We have landed into a foreign territory and we gotta have lots of adjustments to make especially in the arena of budgeting. I must admit I am no guru when it comes to properly allocating a certain amount of money for this and that. But that is the challenge posed for most of us first timers in CIPYML being away from our family. Oh well, I gotta learn to muscle up. Back to square one and still have enough time to pamper myself out of this oh so busy schedule at UP in preparation for our duty as interns in the House of Representatives. Going to David's Salon and putting life into my unmanageable hair after years of being unable to visit the salons was exciting. LOL! 

Next up, I'll be gearing for coloring my hair with something that will boost my confidence and happiness. Something that will brighten my face and depicts positiveness all throughout my face which despite all the stress I still look ravishingly pretty and happy in life. Also, I plan to do a mani/pedi and perhaps a facial/body/foot massage. Oh ah.. I can't wait! #reallypumped  ♥ =)

Kapagintao sa Ranao

A great news came to me even before the day started. It's amazing to have known that I was one of those who passed the final interview at Davao and now I shall be spending my life for two weeks in MSU Marawi. This time around I will be venturing another experience and be able to sleep in a place where I am far from my family. It's where I try to test myself whether I can survive the challenge of home-sickness, budgeting and all. But I am really blessed and full of bliss since this is the moment where I shall be enjoying the freedom vested to me for advancing my intelligence, for growing and for finding love. Haha :D

Oh well, this is life! I might as well make use of my time being found by the right love from the right man and in that beautiful moment. God only knows what is best for me and we cannot tell for sure when will all these happen. He alone knows when the right time is.

Umn.. being in Marawi City was a new phase in my life. Getting along with the people from different culture and their way of life. I've met new friends and reunited with some of my good friends who all hailed in Marawi City.

During my stay there, I've come to appreciate the beauty of their culture despite bombarded negative news about the place. I love their food, the place and the skills I acquired from the training on policy formation and legislation. I learned also to adjust from different personalities and it was quite a feat but it was all worth the risk, the time and sacrifice from not being with my Mother for two weeks more so when I successfully pass the exam en route to Manila. It could get worst. I'll be missing her and the rest of the family for three months. So here are pictures for me depicting my life in Marawi (Kapagintao sa Ranao)  ♥ =)
